She gets invited to her door one after another, and they are all big local clients. They have been so humble to invite you, but you keep refusing to go. Aren't you offending them? After all, they are also her big clients.
I buy so many fats and crabs from her every year, so I have to give her this face.
The latest pastime organized by the wealthy families in Yunzhou was playing polo, and she accepted it.
Not to mention the person who posted the message was shocked, even the old man was surprised, "Why are you leaving so suddenly? Don't you always look down on posts like this?"
Zhou Guo said, "It's not that I don't like it, I just don't have the time. Now I have some free time. Anyway, I'm free. Master, come with me. It must be very interesting for these boys and girls to ride horses."
The old man shook his head and said, "I won't go. I'm tired of watching the children in the village play Cuju every day. What's so good about it?"
Zhou Guo said, "These are not the children in the village playing Cuju. These are the children of wealthy families. They are definitely not as barbaric as us. Who knows how elegant they are on the court. Master, come with me and have a look at the fun."
She looked at the children from wealthy families, who spoke and acted slowly, elegantly and beautifully, and she really wanted to see what they looked like on the court.
The old man shook his head, "I won't go. It's noisy. I like quietness."
……
Zhou Guo was wearing a white straight gown with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread on the hems, cuffs and shoulders. He had a gold and jade belt around his waist, his hair was tied up with a golden crown, and he held a folding fan in his hand, which he waved coquettishly. Everyone who saw him would say that he was a handsome young man.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "You are a proper girl after all. You can't wear boys' clothes all year round. Wear the skirts that your sister and mother made for you. Wear the jewelry on your head. People will see that you are a girl. Otherwise, people will say that you are neither male nor female."
Zhou Guo looked down at himself and was unwilling to change. "This is good. It's so capable. If someone invites me to play on the field, I don't even need to change clothes. The most important thing is that it's cool."
This material is light and thin, most suitable for making summer clothes. She had found two pieces of material with great difficulty. It was this year's tribute. It was said that in Jiangnan, one could only buy a square handkerchief for thirty taels of silver.
Originally, I wanted to make a set of clothes for each woman in the family, but I didn't expect that Li made all men's clothes for them.
She said at the beginning, "We don't have to go out at home, but you are different. You are out and about all year round, and you meet all kinds of people. It won't hurt to dress nicer."
In fact, it was Zhou Guo who liked to wear men's clothes the most and was more particular about it than anyone else. She was afraid that Wu Ya would have some ideas, so she said a few more words.
Zhou Guo found it funny when she thought of the expression on her mother's face when she said this, so she said a few words and then looked at Wu Ya.
In fact, what could Wu Ya think? She didn’t care about these things.
The old man shook his head, "I don't know why you are so afraid of heat."
But this dress is really beautiful, and it makes her look like a beautiful lady.
The old man still went with her, saying that he was worried about his little disciple going alone and was afraid that a little girl like her would be cheated.
The fat guy standing by almost laughed out loud. She was tricked? Who tricked whom?
When the group arrived, everyone else was already there.
The host came out to greet him. The hostess laughed before she even came up to greet him. "Let's see which family this handsome young man is from. You look better dressed than the other young men here. When the young ladies see you, won't they secretly fall in love with you?"
Zhou Guo smiled and bowed, saying, "Hello, Madam. Who can compare to you? You look so full of life and rosy, and you look as well-maintained as if you were in your twenties. Whoever sees you would say you are beautiful? I will learn from you later."
The woman laughed so hard that she doubled over. "You are so young, and you are already thinking about decades later? Are you afraid of getting old and ugly?"
Zhou Guo waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Who in this world doesn't fear aging? Isn't it everyone's wish to have a youthful appearance?"
The woman laughed even louder, happy for her straightforwardness. "You're right. People in their seventies and eighties are also afraid of getting old, but many people don't admit it. Let's go. I didn't go to your house a few times because I was delayed by something. I didn't expect you to be such a young lady. You're really my type."
The old man had already been taken in by the male owner of the house.
Although the North is open, the necessary etiquette still needs to be observed.
Zhou Guo followed him in and found that it was a horse farm with many horses on it.
The Yang family is hosting this banquet today. The Yang family is also a prominent family in the North. Although not as big as the Wang family, it is not small either.
The one who came to greet her today was the mistress of the Yang family, who is currently in charge of the household affairs of the Yang family.
Madam Yang introduced to her which families had come today, which young ladies and gentlemen had come, and who would be playing polo today. She also warned Zhou Guo that she might not be spared.
As soon as Zhou Guo and Madam Yang came in, everyone's eyes were directed at her.
Many people have seen her, but many people have not.
How could the self-proclaimed noble ladies and noble gentlemen lower themselves to meet a peasant who hasn't even washed the mud off his legs?
I am even more disdainful of what others say about how good-looking the person is, thinking that they really have never seen the world. After all, their family has some financial resources, so why are they so short-sighted?
Later, the Wang family also suffered. Although not many people talked about it, they still disliked Zhou Guo from the bottom of their hearts.
Some people went to Zhou's house only because of their elders at home, but they went there several times and didn't see anyone. What is this?
So everyone present today, from the old to the young, dressed up beautifully and put on their best clothes.
But when she saw Zhou Guo, she curled her lips at first. She was dressed like this again. She was obviously a young lady but she was dressing like a young man. Was she crazy trying to act like a man?
After taking a closer look at the material of her clothes, he was about to speak sarcastically, but no words came out of his open mouth. People like them had naturally seen good things, and although there were not many such good things, they had seen them before.
Naturally I know it's worth a lot of money.
The clothes they wear, all together, are not worth as much as someone else's sleeve!
Someone murmured, "He is just a peasant, how can he get such a good thing?"
There are many people here who are richer and more powerful than the Zhou family. They may not even be able to find a piece of such material. Each person in each family would get at most a handkerchief. But this man just used it to make clothes.
There are also those who don't know the value of things. Even if they look at the gold thread on the clothes, they can't say anything against their will and say that what they are wearing is rubbish. If they say so, then what they themselves are wearing is not even as good as rubbish, right?
