After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

After dinner, Shang Tingli received a note from He Zhiying, asking her to go shopping in the afternoon.

The people sent by He Zhixiang were still waiting outside the mansion for the result. Shang Tingli told Fang Zhi, "Fang Zhi, go out and tell Sister He's people that Sister He and I will meet at Liangzhu Pavilion at noon."

Fang Zhi went out.

"Are you going out?" Ke Xin asked.

Shang Tingli said, "It's been a long time since I went out shopping."

The last time I went shopping was on October 10th, and now it is the beginning of winter in a few days. The weather is getting colder, but there is no rain, and the sun is high in the sky, so it is not too hard to bear.

This weather is quite suitable for shopping.

Shang Tingli recalled that she always seemed to be alone in the past. She went shopping alone, admired the scenery alone, never interacted with others, and even had few opportunities to make acquaintances.

In fact, He Zhixiang was the first friend she made. It was also the first time she went shopping with a friend.

Shang Tingli had an indescribable feeling in his heart, a very novel feeling, but also one that contained beauty.

"Du Heng."

Ke Xin shouted.

Du Heng hurriedly stepped forward from behind him and said, "I'm here."

Ke Xin said: "One thousand taels."

Du Heng took out a silver note worth one thousand taels from his bag and handed it to him.

Shang Tingli was shocked as he watched from the side.

[Do you just casually carry around a thousand taels of silver? ]

[Tsk tsk, for a poor family like us, as long as we don't leave the house, our money is locked up. You are worthy of being the prince, you have such courage.]

"..."

Ke Xin handed over the silver note in his hand in silence.

Shang Tingli blinked in confusion: "What?"

She swallowed secretly. In fact, she wanted to look away, but she couldn't turn her head away.

[Can you please not put the money in front of me? Don’t you really know that I will just grab it? ]

Ke Xin found it funny and raised his eyelids to look at her: "Aren't you going shopping?"

Shang Tingli's mouth curled up instantly, and he couldn't suppress his smile and said, "So, Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Ke Xin curled his lips, said nothing, but handed the banknote to her again.

Shang Tingli snatched the banknote in his hand, gave him a very sweet smile, and said sincerely: "Thank you, my lord!"

[For the sake of this thousand taels, I will try not to curse you in my heart in the future! ]

Seeing her so excited, Ke Xin was very disdainful: "Isn't it just one thousand taels? Why is it so serious?"

Shang Tingli: “……?!”

She widened her eyes slightly, full of disbelief.

[…Isn’t it just one thousand taels? ]

[Ahhh, stupid... Ke Xin, do you know what you are talking about? I'm not going to say that one thousand taels can last an ordinary person several lifetimes, but at least you can buy a set of fine headwear at the Jingzhu Pavilion! ]

Ke Xin: “…”

She said she would try to curse him less, and it seemed like she really did curse him less.

But one thousand taels can only buy a set of high-quality headwear?

Ke Xin turned around and called to Du Heng: "Take out another four thousand taels."

One set of headgear is too embarrassing. How can his prince's wife only have one set of good headgear? She must have at least five sets.

Du Heng took out another four thousand taels of silver notes, and before he handed them to him, he heard him say, "For the Crown Prince's Consort."

Shang Tingli took the banknote from Du Heng in a daze, then shifted his gaze to Ke Xin's face and asked blankly, "Is this really all for me?"

[Who understands? It's really frightening! ]

This time she was really stunned.

Growing up, apart from her father and mother, she only received red envelopes from her elders, and no one had ever given her money to spend. Even when she was in the Yizhong Marquis's mansion, her uncle Yu Jing never gave her money, and even the red envelopes he prepared were not thick. Not to mention her aunt Pan Yaying, who was lucky enough not to swallow up all her things, so why would she be willing to spend money on her?

Ke Xin thought she was just surprised and said, "The banknote is in your hand. If it's not for you, then who is it for?"

Shang Tingli blinked.

"Do you want me to help you buy something?" This was the only reason she could think of.

Ke Xin was speechless and frowned, but he still explained: "These flowers are for you."

Shang Tingli was stunned.

Ke Xin curled his lips and said, "Given the way Yi Zhong Hou Mansion treats you, how much money do you have?"

He also sneered: "Tsk, there is no money to even repair the yard."

Shang Tingli: “…”

[Maybe, I mean maybe, maybe I do have a little money? Not much, but enough...]

She silently swallowed her words. It would be foolish not to take the money given for free.

She is no fool.

Ke Xin didn't believe her words at all. In his opinion, she had no money at all. Maybe she could only go to the Liangzhu Pavilion to see something new.

Shang Tingli actually felt that given her current relationship with him, she was not yet at the point where she could spend his money. If it was just a few hundred taels, it would be fine, but this was five thousand taels.

She couldn't help but ask: "Why...why are you giving me so much money?"

[Could it be that you are really attracted by my beauty? ]

Shang Tingli reached out and touched his face, looking confused.

She really couldn't understand his behavior. In other people's families, she would be thankful that she didn't have to use her dowry to subsidize the family expenses, but she could actually get so much money to spend on the contrary. Was he really sober at this moment?

Ke Xin was choked to death by her inner voice, and said unhappily: "Just use it if I give it to you. You are my Crown Prince's Consort, and you are my face when you go out. I am afraid that you are too poor and will cause a joke."

Was he attracted by her beauty?

She is just wishful thinking as always.

Shang Tingli breathed a sigh of relief.

[This tone is just right. ]

Ke Xin: “?”

[As expected, your face is the most important thing. I feel relieved.]

Ke Xin glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say it was the middle of the day? If you don't prepare now, it will be too late."

After leaving these words, he turned and went to the study.

Shang Tingli didn't bother him anymore and went to the bedroom to change his clothes.

After she changed her clothes and came out, Fang Zhi also came back, so she took the two maids out.

……

Not in time.

Two gorgeous carriages were parked outside the Liangzhu Pavilion, and two beautiful women got out of the carriages.

"Listen to the courtesy sister."

Hearing someone calling her, Shang Tingli looked over and saw He Zhiying in a blue dress, so she smiled and said, "Sister He."

He Zhiying walked over and was about to bow, but Shang Tingli stopped her and asked, "Sister He, what are you doing?"

"Etiquette cannot be abolished." He Zhiying smiled.

Shang Tingli said, "What etiquette can't be abolished? Since you and I are sisters, how can we be so formal?"

He Zhiqi curled his lips and said, "I will obey Sister Tingli."

Shang Tingli: "That's right."

The two of them entered the Liangzhu Pavilion together.

Shang Tingli asked first, "Which floor do you want to go to, Sister He?"

He Zhiying replied: "To be honest, I don't mind this. I always like to climb from one level to the top."

"What a coincidence, isn't it? I think so too."

"What a coincidence! My sister Tingli and I have the same habit."

Shang Tingli smiled and nodded: "That's right."

He Zhiqi's eyes curved, "Or should I say, I felt close to Sister Tingli the moment I saw her."

"I feel the same way about Sister He." Shang Tingli leaned close to her ear and smiled, "If Sister He likes anything later, just take it and I'll pay for it. Just consider it as my love for you."

He Zhiying was stunned: "How can this be done?"

Actually, the two of them had not known each other for very long, and had never really talked to each other. In fact, they were not close friends, let alone to the point of paying for each other's bills.

Shang Tingli said, "Why can't I use it? Aren't Sister He and I good friends? Giving gifts to each other is common among good friends."

He Zhiqiang didn't know how to respond for a moment and his expression was a little complicated.

At the chrysanthemum viewing banquet at Zhou's house that day, she deliberately tried to get close to the person in front of her. It was not because she wanted to curry favor with her, but it was simply out of an inexplicable sense of intimacy that made her take the initiative to make friends.

She never thought of using her to gain anything. After all, her great revenge had been taken, and with her current status, she didn't need to curry favor with anyone.

Shang Tingli smiled at her: "Sister He, don't feel any psychological burden."

He Zhixing looked at her.

She curled her lips slyly: "It's not my money anyway."

Tsuru Chih-kai: “Ah?”

Shang Tingli laughed and said, "Before I left, the prince gave me this banknote." She stretched out her palm and compared it, smiling from ear to ear, "It was a full five thousand taels."

He Zhiying was surprised: "The prince is very generous to you." Then he smiled slightly, "Now it seems that your cousin is not just picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, but picking up copper coins and losing gold."

Shang Tingli smiled happily.

What Sister He said is true.

In her previous life, Ji Zhang would never give her money to spend. Even a jade hairpin of inferior quality was given to her as if it was the best he could give her with all his might. In fact, that inferior jade hairpin did not cost much money at all and could only move him.

She had to make plans for herself from the beginning to the end, but after all her calculations, she had never expected that such a cowardly person would dare to do something that was hypocritical.

Fortunately, God had a good heart and allowed her to start over again.

She really wanted to be able to cut off ties with that dirty villain.

"Since the prince gave you the money, I won't be polite to you?" He Zhiying said with a smile.

She said so, but she had already thought of what gift to give to this generous sister. She couldn't just take advantage of her for nothing.

Shang Tingli pulled her upstairs, "Why be polite? Come on, let's go straight to the third floor." He was so anxious that he didn't want to spend time on the first floor.

He Zhiying laughed and let her pull him. He couldn't help but joked, "Does your master know that you used his money to buy jewelry for other women?"

I have to say, the way someone looks right now really does have that vibe.

Shang Tingli said, "What do you mean by his money? Once it's given to me and in my hands, it's my money. As for how I spend my money, it has nothing to do with him."

She was not worried at all about what would happen if Ke Xin found out, after all, he said it himself.

Now that you have made a promise, you must naturally do it.

The two of them went around the third floor and finally bought a set of kingfisher headpieces of different styles, but both were very beautiful. Of course, the price was also very attractive. They both spent 1,000 taels, and Shang Tingli paid for them all.

She wanted to continue looking, but since she had gotten a set of top-quality kingfisher feather headdress for free, He Zhiqiang felt embarrassed to continue looking, fearing that if she continued looking, she would have another set of top-quality goods in her hands. So she suggested going to a teahouse to have tea and talk.

Shang Tingli had no objection.

The two of them went to Fengting Tower.

This is the best teahouse in the capital city. It is divided into three floors. The first floor is where actors perform, the second floor has private rooms, and the third floor is also a private room, but it is only for people of noble status.

The two of them asked for a private room on the second floor.

"Just now at the Liangzhu Pavilion, Sister Tingli has already spent a lot of money. I will pay the bill later."

He Zhixiang brought this up in advance.

"Okay." Shang Tingli did not refuse, she knew what the other party meant.

Moreover, when two people are friends, sometimes they don't need to be too clear about the differences.

He Zhixing began to make tea. While using the tea set, he said, "Sister Tingli, you must taste the tea I make. Otherwise, I will feel really bad."

"I often hear the name of Sister He. It is said that the eldest daughter of the He family is an expert in tea art. Now I have got the advantage, so I must taste it carefully."

Shang Tingli sat opposite her, resting his hands on the table, supporting his cheeks, and watched her smooth movements with comfort.

“As beautiful as a poem or painting.”

She shook her head regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no painting paper and ink here, otherwise I really want to draw it for Sister He."

He Zhixiang laughed and scolded: "You are such a chatterbox."

Shang Tingli said, "Unfair."

She had to drag the four girls into her camp, looked at them, and asked, "Tell me, is what I said right?"

The four maids looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Yes, what the Crown Princess said is right."

Shang Tingli raised his eyebrows proudly at He Zhiying: "I'll tell you."

He Zhiqi was speechless, and finally helpless, he could only nod and say: "Yes, yes, the Crown Princess is right."

"Pfft."

Shang Tingli smiled.

While He Zhiying was quietly brewing tea, she looked out the window and happened to see the window of the private room opposite. There was no one there, so it was temporarily empty.

Shang Tingli withdrew his gaze with some boredom.

After about half a cup of tea, He Zhiying poured out two cups of tea and pushed one of them in front of Shang Tingli. She said, "Sister Tingli, please have some tea."

Shang Tingli took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "It tastes good."

She praised him generously: "You are indeed a master of tea art."

He Zhiqi laughed: "People are praising you, why are you following suit?"

Shang Tingli shook his head and said in strong disapproval: "How can this be called reckless? Sister He, don't be unconfident. You are a good tea brewer, so you deserve the title of a master."

He Zhiqi burst out laughing: "Anyway, as long as Sister Tingli likes it."

"I didn't know it before, but I'm afraid I'll have to bother Sister He often in the future." Shang Tingli said.

What this means is that I will meet with Tsuru Chiaki often in the future and drink the tea she makes.

He Zhixing said, "I am very happy with it."

Shang Tingli picked up the teacup with a smile and took another sip. As he sipped the tea carefully, his eyes glanced out the window.

She was startled.
