Chapter 201 Women's Dress
Chapter 201 Women's Dress
On the tenth day of March, Chen Luzi drove the carriage, and Chen Ruotong accompanied Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen, sitting in the comfortable big carriage back to Pingyang Prefecture to visit their two great-grandsons who had just been born.
The journey was safe and smooth, and we soon arrived at Pingyang Prefecture.
All the family members had gone to the farm to do spring ploughing, leaving only two sisters-in-law and a few maids and old women. They warmly welcomed them and took them to see the baby who was more than five months old.
The two little ones were sleeping peacefully in the cradle, looking very cute. Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen were overjoyed and took turns holding the children, unwilling to let go.
Chen Ruotong looked at the two chubby little balls and her heart melted.
Chen Ruotong placed the two gold necklaces and two longevity locks that she had prepared long ago on the swaddling clothes of the two children:
"Aunt, I wish my two little nephews to grow up healthy and happy and grow up quickly..."
Leng Xueqin and He Xiaolian were stunned. Why did the fourth brother say that he was an aunt? Why did his voice become so gentle and delicate?
The two of them stared at Chen Ruotong blankly and teased the two little kids.
Chen Ruotong's maternal love overflowed again. She completely forgot her identity as a man and was completely exposed...
Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen stood aside, looking at Chen Ruotong with a smile.
For a moment, the only sounds in the room were Chen Ruotong's gentle whispers coaxing the child.
Only then did she realize that she seemed to have said something wrong!
She stood up awkwardly, looked at her two sisters-in-law, spread her hands, and said with a helpless smile, "Sister-in-law, hi! I'm exposed. I'd better not pretend in front of you two."
The two sisters-in-law finally realized that this fourth brother was actually the fourth sister!
This fourth sister, disguised as a man, is doing well in the business world. She is truly an amazing person and the two men admire her very much.
The fourth sister later became their role model and worked hard to manage the family business.
Chen Ruotong immediately returned to her room, entered the space and washed off the makeup on her face, revealing her original pretty face. She changed into a pink women's dress, but she didn't know how to comb her hair beautifully.
So I went to my two sisters-in-law's room and asked them to help me comb my hair.
He Xiaolian was a deft person and was best at doing hair braiding, so she quickly combed a beautiful flying fairy bun for Chen Ruotong.
This was a hairstyle that was quite popular in the Han Dynasty. The hair was neatly tied at the back of the head, and then two high buns were tied on both sides of the head, reaching straight up to the sky, making one look like a flying fairy.
Then use some beautiful headwear to fix or decorate it, it is very beautiful. Unmarried women will look beautiful with this hairstyle.
I've seen Chen Ruotong with a bun like this in a TV series.
She looked at her pretty face in the mirror and smiled sweetly.
It has been three years since she came to the ancient times. This is the second time she has worn women's clothes, and it is the second time she has worn women's clothes when she is so beautiful.
She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time and was really fascinated by herself.
He Xiaolian joked, "Fourth sister is naturally beautiful, I wonder which man will marry her in the future?"
Old Lady Chen said, "I think the boy from the Qiao family is pretty good..."
Chen Ruotong made a stop gesture and said seriously, "Grandma, sisters-in-law, I am still young and don't want to think about these issues.
I am now focusing on my career and making our Chen family flourish. This is the most important thing. Romance is meaningless..."
Seeing Chen Ruotong's cute and serious look, several people couldn't help but laugh...
Chen Ruotong's dressing as a woman also surprised the servants and maids in the mansion.
Everyone then realized that Mr. Chen Si was Miss Chen Si! Miss was so beautiful, like a beauty who walked out of a painting!
However, the fact that Chen Ruotong was a woman was known only to people in the mansion and had not been announced to the public for the time being.
When Chen Ruotong travels, she still dresses and behaves like a man.
The next day, Chen Ruotong changed into men's clothes again, got on a horse-drawn carriage with Old Man Chen, and went to various farms to check on the spring plowing situation.
Chen Dahai has brought his three brothers from his hometown back to Chenjiabao to guide them in planting potatoes and sweet potatoes.
There was only Chen Jianshu on the farm, directing the farming work in each farm and was very busy.
As soon as Old Man Chen came back, he threw himself into his intensive work, which also reduced Chen Jianshu's workload.
All farming activities are carried out step by step and in an orderly manner.
This year, one big farm is all planting potatoes, the second big farm is all planting sweet potatoes, and Old Man Chen's farm is still planting paddy fields.
Peppers, tomatoes, and watermelons are planted on a farm covering an area of more than 200 acres.
Chen Ruotong walked around and looked at each farm, feeling very satisfied. She seemed to have seen a scene of a good harvest, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
On April 15th, the palace examination began. Qiao Zien and more than 300 other tribute students were waiting outside the imperial palace for the examination.
The desk for the palace examination had already been set up in the open space outside the hall. There was a cushion under the desk, and the candidates needed to sit cross-legged on the cushion to take the palace examination.
The writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone used in the palace examination were all provided by the palace and distributed to the students one by one according to the examination content.
Soon, the palace gates opened, and officials from the Ministry of Rites led the tribute students into the palace. They were arranged in order of their ranks and divided into two rows.
Qiao Zien stood at the head of the first row on the left, following the officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Then the seats are arranged according to the ranking. The candidates sit in their seats, and after the test papers are distributed, they start answering the questions.
The palace examination only tested one question, policy questions. Students entered the examination room at sunrise and handed in their papers at sunset.
After Qiao Zien and several other friends handed in their papers and left the hall, they went to the Marquis' Mansion together to study the answers.
By mid-April, spring ploughing is basically completed.
Chen Ruotong had been staying leisurely at home in Pingyang Prefecture, helping her two sisters-in-law to look after the children, occasionally visiting the farm, and living a leisurely life.
Old man Chen plans to go to the capital again in early May. After all, he will be away for a while, so he has to stay in these farms for some time and arrange everything properly, so that he can feel at ease.
It was a sunny day with very good weather. Chen Ruotong and her two sisters-in-law pushed the stroller and took a walk in the courtyard.
The little ones stared with their big round eyes, observing everything around them curiously, and making babbling sounds from time to time.
Chen Ruotong suddenly felt a pair of passionate eyes staring at her, so she looked up and saw Qiao Zien standing at the door of the flower hall, looking at her with a smile.
In the sunshine, Qiao Zien's smile is particularly bright, and her eyes reveal tenderness and affection.
Chen Ruotong's female outfit made Qiao Zien's eyes light up, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement.
She was wearing a light pink long dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind like a blooming flower.
A light blue ribbon is tied around the waist, highlighting the slender waist curve.
The flying fairy bun makes her look more graceful, and the two strands of hair hanging down on both sides of her temples gently brush against her fair skin.
The light makeup on her face makes her look more fresh and refined.
The whole person exudes an elegant and charming temperament that makes people unable to help but fall for her.
Qiao Zien was deeply attracted by Chen Ruotong's beauty. He stood there blankly, staring at her intently. A strong urge surged in his heart, wanting to keep this beauty by his side forever.
