Chapter 829: All dressed in men's clothes
Following the example of their superiors, young ladies in the north seemed to have started wearing men's clothes overnight, and you would no longer see young ladies wearing women's clothes on the streets.
Everyone was wearing men's clothes and waving a fan.
Zhou Guo was walking on the streets of Yunzhou. Looking at the young ladies wearing men's clothes and waving folding fans, he was stunned and looked down at himself.
She put away her folding fan and asked the old man beside her, "Master, why are you all dressed like this? Is it popular to wear men's clothes recently?"
The old man ate the soft snacks, looked at them indifferently and said, "Who knows? I am an old man, how can I know what you young ladies are thinking? You don't wear beautiful skirts, but insist on wearing these clothes like you. I don't know what you are thinking."
Although Zhou Guo didn't know why this happened, he found it very interesting to see the young ladies dressed as men on the street.
You will never say she is neither male nor female again, right?
Not to mention the provincial capital, even the county towns below are like this.
When Li entered the county town and saw this scene, she was also stunned. How come overnight, these girls were wearing men's clothes just like her?
Even Zhou Xing came back wearing men's clothes.
Li smiled and said, "Why are you wearing this? Now when I go out, all the girls on the street are dressed like this. Are you guys bewitched by Zhou Guo?"
Zhou Xing laughed, "Second Aunt, you are right. We are really obsessed with Guoguo. You don't know, ever since she played polo last time, those young ladies have been imitating Guoguo, wearing men's clothes and waving folding fans. All the young ladies in the north are doing this now, and they are proud of it. If anyone goes out wearing women's clothes, they will be laughed at."
Wu Ya said: "It makes me want to try on men's clothes. They really look good."
Li, however, could not appreciate it. "There are so many beautiful colorful skirts for a good girl, but none of them are prettier than this long gown. There are so many beautiful buns, with a few hairpins, that would be much prettier than this one. Why do you choose to imitate Guoguo?"
The little girl looks so beautiful in her fresh and tender clothes.
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I guess this won't last long. It's just temporary. Who would really wear men's clothes all the time, except Guo Guo?"
But Zhou Guo did that for convenience. He couldn't comb his hair by himself, and he couldn't always have a little girl with him, so he could only wear men's clothes.
Zhou Guo was hiding in the manor when Er Pang handed him another note. "This is from the Zheng family. They say their grandson will be 100 days old on the 16th of this month."
She held the invitation and sighed, "There have been more than a dozen invitations in the past few days. Why do these wealthy families have so many things to do? It's either one celebrating a birthday or another having a baby. The Liu family is even worse. They sent me an invitation just to take a concubine. Did the one who sent me the invitation have his brain squeezed by a door when he was a child? How can he send such an invitation?!"
Er Pang said, "It is said that this is a branch of the Liu family. You beat them on the court last time. Is this intentional to disgust you?"
Zhou Guo said, "That's too disgusting. I'm a young girl who hasn't even gotten married yet. Wouldn't it be a joke for me to attend such a banquet? Next time there's such a post, throw it in that person's face."
I originally wanted to tear it up, but then I thought it would be nice to keep this weird banquet as a joke.
She picked through the remaining posts and said, "The Yang family's old man will celebrate his 80th birthday next month. We have to go. The Zheng family should also go. They are also a big family in our family. The amount of fertilizer they buy is second only to the Yang family."
She has limited time, so she can only pick and choose. She will go if it is suitable, and will not go if it is not suitable.
Er Pang asked, "Will the Wang family go?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Go, even though we beat Young Master Wang last time, the Wang family is the number one family in the North after all. We are nothing in front of the Wang family now, so we must give them this face."
Even people under someone's roof have to bow their heads.
Er Pang felt aggrieved. "The prince of the human world has already given us no face. His parents must know about this."
Zhou Guo said: "I know, but we are generous. There is no need to tear our faces with others for such a small matter. Besides, we didn't suffer any loss. Seriously speaking, they lost more face than us. They gave us the invitation, so we have to go. It's not like we have to rush to go."
Er Pang became happy again, "Master is right, it's not our turn to rush. I'll get busy then."
The old man walked over and sat down beside him, saying, "It's incredible. The people you associate with now are all the big families in the north. Two years ago, the people you associated with were the shopkeepers of Baoyue Tower."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "What's wrong with the shopkeepers? I would rather deal with the Yang shopkeepers. It's simpler and there are not so many twists and turns. I can't outsmart these wealthy families. I won't go to such banquets if I can avoid it. I'm just a farmer, and it's more practical to deal with the land."
If she didn't have a powerful backer, she might have been killed by these people long ago. How could she have the chance to approach them?
The old man sighed, "Yes, life is best when it is simple."
Song County has been irrigating and draining for the past month or two, and follow-up measures have been keeping up. Zhou Guo saw that the results were gradually showing, and the village head knew what to do next, so he decided to go back.
The old man looked at the vegetables that he had grown with great difficulty and were now thriving, and said, "Why go back now? Can't we wait until these vegetables are ready to eat?"
Zhou Guo said, "We have been out for so long, do you still want to live here? I don't have a single day of peace here, people come to my house every day, and there are constant invitations. I want to go back and rest, and close the door to refuse visitors."
The old man said decisively: "Okay, then let's go. I'll leave these dishes to Old Man Zhang and his son. I'll go talk to them. I won't agree if you die."
Just stand up and go. It’s hard to grow it that big.
Zhou Guo left as soon as he said he would. He called the village head and gave him detailed instructions on what to do next. "I will send someone to check once every two weeks. If there is anything you cannot decide, please write to me."
This village head was selected from the refugees. He had been a village head before. She had observed him for a few months and found him to be reliable, down-to-earth, obedient, and experienced. He always completed tasks assigned to him quickly and well, making him a suitable candidate for village head.
More suitable to manage Zhuangzi than Erpang.
In this way, Erpang and Huzi don’t have to stay in Song County and can go back together.
From then on, she learned her lesson. The village heads of several other counties were all selected from the refugees, and some of them could even read a few words.
After observing them for a few months, we found that they were capable of doing their job and had good character, so we let them take up their posts.
After returning to the village, several people looked at the Zhou family’s house from afar and were stunned!
