Did the third place winner regret it today?

Chapter 54

Jin Fengxiang really lives up to its reputation, with many fresh styles that Huaixi cannot see.
Yin Shi's brothers were given enough money by their families for their trip to Beijing. The three of them picked and chose, and bought the jewelry they liked for their wives, mothers, and sisters.
Turning around, I saw Shen Ti also asked the waiter to pack two items. The uncles elbowed each other and winked at each other.
They played around for another afternoon and had dinner together in the evening. Shen Ti sent them back to their residence before they parted.

"This kid bought two things."
"There has to be a girl, right?"
"Mrs. Di is beautiful, so she won't be left out in the cold."
"Too."

In a woman's mind, the harem is the whole world. Fights between sisters-in-law and wives and concubines are life.
For men, the backyard is the courtyard inside the hanging flower gate, where they keep some women and where they go back to rest at night.
Everyone in the Yin family knew why Shen Ti chose the Yin family's daughter over the Beijing lady. The Yin family women might have envied and felt sad, but the Yin family men never thought it was a big deal.
Just a concubine.
What a humble person I am.

They all felt that Yin Shi was lucky, as if it was God's will that after three years of delay she actually became the wife of a Jinshi, and when she married she became a lady of the seventh rank.
Compared with this great fortune, what’s the big deal that Shen Ti has a favorite concubine?
What's more, Yin Shi was so beautiful. In a man's mind, pampering a concubine and loving a beautiful wife were two things that did not conflict at all and could coexist harmoniously.
Only women would feel that these two things are mutually exclusive.

No matter how good that impoverished young lady was, and Yin Shi was so beautiful, unless her brother-in-law Shen Ti was blind, he would only keep a concubine and ignore Yin Shi.
Shouldn't we enjoy the best of both worlds?
Aren’t all the men in the Yin family like this?

When Shen Ti returned home, it was already dark.
He went back to the bridal chamber first. This was his principal room.
Sure enough, in the inner room, Yin Shi was sitting at the table wearing only his shirt, his hair tied up loosely, looking very comfortable and at ease.

Shen Ti has completely accepted the way she dresses.
There is no real relationship between man and woman, but they are husband and wife in name only.
No, it should be said that they are actually husband and wife.
Because in Shen Ti's understanding, once a marriage is concluded, whether it is real or fake, it lasts for a lifetime.
Since you are going to spend your whole life together, you should live it comfortably.

Yin Shi saw him coming back and greeted him with a smile: "You're back."
He was peeling the dried fruits with his hands, but his butt didn't move.
How wonderful it is to be a sister. A wife has to stand up to greet her husband when he comes home, but a sister doesn't have to move her butt to see her brother.

Sure enough, Shen Ti didn't take it as an offense.
In fact, he felt very relieved when he saw how relaxed and comfortable she looked.
Last night, Shen Ti found out about someone's affairs.
Of course, I knew it before, I knew it in theory. You have to know that any man, no matter what kind of man he is, as long as he can read, even if he is the top scholar, second place or third place, he must have read the little book beside his bed.
Men usually master all the theoretical knowledge and postures before practicing.

Shen Ti had always thought that she understood it very well. But in fact, it was only last night that she really experienced the taste of it.
There is still a huge gap between theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. You have to leap over it to know how wonderful and fascinating it is.
Only then did I know what the joy of love is.

He married Yin Shi for himself and Feng Luoyi, but Yin Shi agreed to be a fake couple with him, which meant that Yin Shi's marriage would be missing this important and beautiful life experience.
More importantly, she has never experienced it, so she may not even know what she is missing.

Of course, Shen Ti couldn't just tell her that this was a wonderful thing and it would be a pity if she didn't try it.
How can I say that?
But if I don't say it, I'll feel like I'm taking advantage of the information asymmetry to deceive and bully her.

So when he saw her feeling relaxed in the inner room, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Isn't it that Yin Shi wanted this kind of life from the beginning? A marriage without an evil mother-in-law or a bad husband.
He gave her what she wanted, and seeing the smile in her eyes, comfortable and at ease, his sense of indebtedness was slightly alleviated.
It makes me feel a little better.

"Have you had your meal?" Yin Shi asked.
"I've used it." Shen Ti walked over, took out a flat box and put it on the table, then pushed it in front of Yin Shi, "This is for you."
"Eh?" Yin Shi brushed off the crumbs on his hands, "What is it?"

"Today, I passed by Jinfengxiang with my uncles and brothers. They all said they wanted to bring back some fashionable hairpins and rings for their sisters-in-law. I also went shopping and bought one for my sister."
Shen Ti spoke casually, walked to the screen and opened his arms. Lu Yan He Xin surrounded him, untied his silk ribbons, untied his belt, and helped him take off his outer clothes.

Watching the handsome guy taking off his clothes, Yin Shi's clapping rhythm slowed down.
When Shen Ti turned around, she also turned around and said to Kui Er: "If it's not clean, throw me a towel to wipe it."
When I turned back, Shen Ti had already entered the bathroom.
Lu Yan followed in, and He Xin went outside with her changed clothes.

Kui'er threw a towel over and wiped her hands.
After his hands were clean, Yin Shi picked up the flat box and opened it. There was something soft and silk wrapped inside. After untying the silk, Kui'er covered her mouth and let out a soft cry.

A delicate red gold bracelet with pearls - the bracelet is made of red gold and is inlaid with a circle of sparkling pearls on the outside, emitting a faint light under the candlestick.
Beautiful, charming, luxurious, and, well, it looks like it's worth the money.
Increase in private property.
Yin Shi was very happy.
At such a young age, he already knows how to buy jewelry for women. Such a brother is really lovable.

"It's really beautiful." Kui'er praised.
It can't be said that Kui'er was short-sighted. Because although Yin Shi's dowry also included several sets of particularly impressive headgear, the jewelry Yin Shi wore before she got married was more girlish, light and simple, and more of a daily style.
Unlike this one, it looks expensive and can be worn in formal occasions.
Moreover, this was the first piece of jewelry given to Yin Shi by her husband during their wedding. How could Kui'er not praise it?
Especially this morning, my brother-in-law just appointed a new concubine.

Yin Shi also thought of this.
Is it really because of this? They are obviously a fake couple, would Shen Ti buy things for a woman out of guilt?
This kind of thinking of men is really funny.
Well, don't think about it, anyway, she is the one who benefits. Yin Shi put the bracelet on his wrist to admire it. The pearls and gold shone in the candlelight, making it more noble.
After getting married, things are different from when you were a little girl. When you go in and out of officials' houses, you become a lady of high rank and you have to start wearing this kind of noble jewelry.

He Xin came in again, followed by a maid, carrying a large wooden barrel. White mist was floating on the barrel, which was hot water that had just been boiled.
Shen Ti wants to take a shower.

Yin Shi wanted to take off the bracelet and let Kui'er put it away, but just as he was stroking it, he changed his mind and stopped.
When you receive a valuable gift, you have to give the person who gave it some emotional feedback.
I'll collect it later.

Shen Ti came out of the shower with her hair loose.
His facial features are so beautiful that at first glance, he looks androgynous. But when you get closer, it's obvious that he's still a boy. A good-looking boy.
His hair was half dry, and he walked to the chaise longue in his coat and sat down: "What are you laughing at?"
"Ah, I smiled?" Yin Shi rubbed his face, quickly went over and stretched out his hand, saying, "Of course I'm happy to receive the gift."

The maid next to her went into the bathroom to clean up, and Luyan Hexin brought the incense burner to the chaise longue to dry his hair.
Shen Ti looked intently.
Under the candlelight, Yin Shi's slender white wrist was as white as snow, and her slender jade fingers were white and tender.
She poked her hand in front of him, and there was a faint fragrance coming from her sleeve.
I've obviously gotten used to her smell these days, what's going on?

Yin Shi waved his hand: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Shen Ti said, "Jin Fengxiang is famous for its exquisite workmanship. It is the leader of the four major gold buildings in Beijing."
He looked away.

Huh?
Yin Shi pretended not to notice and maintained a cheerful mood: "I have only heard of it before, but rarely seen it. When my aunt returned to her hometown, she brought Jin Fengxiang hairpins to all the elder women in the family. When I went down the mountain and went home later, my sisters said that my mother loved to wear that hairpin when meeting guests that year. Since then, I have known Jin Fengxiang. After seeing it today, it is indeed incomparable to the gold shop in Huaixi. I really like it."
Male psychology is basically child psychology, so just praise him and admire him.
The emotional value was given, and Shen Ti smiled happily: "As long as you like it."

Yin Shi raised the corner of his mouth and shook his wrist: "This can't be a one-time deal, we'll need it again in the future."
She had a cunning look in her eyes, and her calculations were clear and aboveboard.
Shen Ti tried to hold back her laughter but couldn't.
Lu Yan and He Xin looked at each other in surprise.

"Of course." He smiled, "Sister and I have been married for life, so of course we must always have it. Father makes two new sets of headwear for Mother every year. I'll make one for you in the future, too."

This is the life Yin Shi wants, where they can talk and communicate well, no one bothers each other, and they have money and a house and are willing to spend money.
It really makes one feel good.
Yin Shi said, "I'll wait."

If her hair wasn't drying, Shen Ti would have smiled and shook her head.
Yin Shi turned around, took off the bracelet and put it into her makeup box, and did not forget to turn back and remind her: "Dry your hair thoroughly before leaving. It's still a little cold in the morning and evening. Be careful not to catch a cold on the road later."
Shen Ti stopped laughing: "Where are you going?"

Yin Shi looked at him in the mirror and was also surprised: "Aren't you going to Feng's place?"
Shen Ti waved her hand, and Lu Yan and He Xin left, closing the lattice door. There were only the two of them left in the inner room.
Shen Ti dried her hair herself: "Not going today."

How did that happen.
The young couple has finally started having sex. Normally, this should be the time when they are in love with each other. They want to stick together every day, and each of them is part of the other.
Not to mention that the love journey of this pair of ill-fated little mandarin ducks was bumpy and they had to go through the hardships of Yin Shi before they could achieve a happy ending.
Yin Shi thought that after they consummated their marriage and had a formal status, Shen Ti could live there openly every day, and she would have the big yard and big bed all to herself.
What happened to Shen Ti?

Yin Shi thought of something and moved his lips. He saw in the mirror that Shen Ti tilted his head slightly to dry his hair. The shirt draped over his shoulders had slipped half way off, revealing his white shirt, which made his face look handsome.
The question that came to his lips was swallowed back.

Shen Ti lowered her eyes to dry her hair, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Yin Shi sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair.
Shen Ti thought about it and decided to talk to Yin Shi. As soon as her lips moved, Yin Shi put down the comb and stood up: "Let me help you."
She walked behind him and smoothed his hair, spreading it on the incense burner.
Shen Ti swallowed back what she was about to say.

After his hair was dried, he called the maid in to put away the incense burner, cover the lamp, put up the curtain, and then the two of them went to bed.
The same bed, the same curtains, the same two people, but today seemed different from the previous nights.
Shen Ti was lying particularly far to the outside.
The tent was filled with a festive atmosphere.
I was already used to it, it was my sister lying inside, but today it became clear again, it was a woman lying inside.

She should have noticed it, too. Otherwise, why would she hide so close to the inside today, with the two of them eight feet apart?
Shen Ti opened her eyes in the dark, listening to Yin Shi turning over and over like a fried fish.
Is it really possible to be a fake couple?
Suddenly there was a sound in the bed and she seemed to sit up.
Shen Ti turned her head and could only barely see the outline. Yin Shi had indeed sat up.
"Shen Ti." She spoke cautiously.

She didn't call him by his given name, because although it was respectful, it was also distant. People who were truly close would call each other by their given names, for example, if you made a mistake, your mother would call you by your full name.
"Shen Ti." Yin Shi asked tentatively, "Did you and Feng Shi... have a bad day yesterday?"
"I mean, the, uh, sex thing."

Really worried.
How can a young man who has just started eating meat not appreciate the taste of meat? How can you just consummate your marriage yesterday and then ignore someone today?
Yin Shi thought about it and there was only one possibility - the little virgin boy did not perform well the first time, he had a psychological trauma and felt inferior, so he ran away!
