The next day, Madam Liu took Tian Zhiqing out. Before leaving, she told Liu Yuwai to eat at home by himself, as she was taking Zhiqing to a restaurant. Liu Yuwai, with a face full of grievance, sent the two out the door. He then asked the housekeeper whether the aunt grandmother had come out from her seclusion in the past few days, and the answer was no.
Madam Liu, taking Tian Zhiqing along, was on a spending spree!
Just the seasonal clothes alone, she bought over a dozen sets, and also made an appointment with a tailor to come and make other custom pieces. Then they went to buy jewelry: gold, silver, pearls, jade, purchased several sets of each. As for rouge and face powder, that goes without saying.
After instructing the cosmetic shop boss to send the goods to the Liu Mansion, Madam Liu took Tian Zhiqing to the largest restaurant in the city for a meal.
