Chapter 390 No matter what, you can’t wear women’s clothes

In fact, there are more than just people from the Nine Clans entering the city today.

Tang Lizheng and Tang Jiugong were also going to the provincial capital. Lizheng was planning to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at his eldest son's home.

Tang Jiugong had made an appointment with his friends to drink tea and enjoy the moon, so he met them when they were leaving the village.

Tang Jiugong invited Shen Zhiqiu, Mr. Shen, and Old Man Shen to get on their carriage.

There were also many women and girls from the nine clans sitting in Tang Lizheng's carriage.

Of course, the men still have to push the cart, after all, they have to wear a lot of soles. In order to suit the occasion, the soles were made in the pattern of osmanthus flowers.

Although they are not often needed to set up stalls, they think that since the women are going to set up stalls to sell hairpins anyway, they will follow them and not be idle. They can also sell some shoe soles at the same time, any money they can make is good.

In Tang Jiugong's carriage,

The old man asked Shen Zhiqiu, "You only make jewelry for women. You don't make hairpins or hair crowns for men?"

This was not done. The old man was a little disappointed. Shen Youyou thought it was unnecessary. Men usually wear jade crowns, silver crowns, and gold crowns.

Who would buy plastics? Besides, people who can carry those things have money from selling gold, silver and jade.

Common people who cannot afford gold, silver and jade cannot carry those things.

There are some plastic hairpins that are hard to come by, such as bamboo and tree branch shaped ones.

After hearing Shen Zhiqiu's explanation, Tang Jiugong disagreed. He said, "These hairpins of yours are valuable because they are rare. I have seen the hairpin flower worn by my granddaughter. It is transparent. You should know that except for colored glaze, ordinary jade can't achieve such an effect.

If you make jade crowns, jade pendants, hand-held items, etc., people will still buy them, after all, colored glaze is very rare."

Shen Zhiqiu nodded and said that he would tell his daughter this, but he still felt that Shen Youyou would not do it.

Because her daughter would say that it would be better to just make glass directly in the future.

Around noon, they arrived at the city.

The streets are very busy at this time, with many shops hanging lanterns, some of which have been hung up early.

Although it's not evening yet, one can already see how lively it will be at night.

They parted ways at the city gate, and the nine clans went straight to the street of Guangyuan Tower, because the rented village was just behind Guangyuan Tower.

The two-story house was big enough for so many of them to live in.

After Shen Zhiqiu said hello to Chen Dongjia, he took everyone to settle down. In fact, apart from some beddings they brought with them, there was no need to move anything else in the car, because they would have to reserve a stall on the street later.

However, the carts and ox carts have to be put down because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be no curfew in the city today and people are allowed to set up stalls on the streets, but they can only stand on the sides of the street and cannot block pedestrian traffic.

Shen Zhiqiu didn't plan to let everyone set up stalls too far away, so they set up stalls on Guangyuanlou Street, which was spacious and close to their residence.

Even the owner of Guangyuan Building, Chen Dongjia, had someone cordon off a large piece of open space for them to set up stalls.

The restaurant will also be holding a lantern riddle guessing event outside today. Those who guess the most riddles will be able to dine at Guangyuanlou for three free days.

However, it was enough for the men to set up the stalls. The women of the nine tribes, both older and younger, took their children to the streets in the morning.

Jinxiu Cloth Shop, this cloth shop also bought the hairpins from Old Lady Hua.

So they are all regular customers. Mrs. Hua had seen their cloth before and found it more affordable than other places, so she came here directly.

They also have ready-made clothes at home. Old Lady Hua introduced them to the shopkeeper, saying, "These are her old sisters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters."

The shopkeeper was shocked: "Oh, you have quite a large family."

The old lady said: "Haha, we live together as a family. The waiter you go to buy goods for knows it. Next time you have a chance, you can go and have a look."

In fact, what the old lady was thinking was, don’t go now, wait until we build a big house before going.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "Old lady, are you looking for cloth or ready-made clothes?"

"Look at them all. The little granddaughters look at the ready-made clothes, and we look at the cloth."

There were so many people that when they entered, there was almost no room for them in the entire cloth shop.

Li Jingshu herself likes to wear plain and elegant clothes, but she likes to dress her daughter up in fancy ways. She liked an outfit at first sight: a pink double-breasted blouse on the upper body and a moon-white pleated skirt embroidered with double-disc flowers on the lower body.

Shen Youyou had to try it, but she kept shaking her head. It wasn't that she disliked the expensive silk, but she just didn't want to wear women's clothes because it was too inconvenient.

"Mom, I'm buying men's clothes, you look at men's clothes."

Li Jingshu refused. She said, "No, the other sisters are all wearing women's clothes, but you want to wear men's clothes. You have to buy this one no matter what."

Old Lady Hua also chimed in: "Yes, this pink one will definitely look good on you."

Shen Youyou was confused. Why did she only wear men's clothes? On the road, it was for convenience and convenience, but now it was to avoid trouble.

Although she is still young, only eleven and a half years old, she is over 1.5 meters tall, which was not considered too short in ancient times.

Moreover, people in ancient times matured precociously. Many of them were engaged at the age of eleven or twelve. From the time-travel novels she had read before, many girls were favored by princes at the age of eleven or twelve because of their intelligence.

Of course she knew it was a novel, but she couldn't help but feel nervous after reading it too much.

It's not that Shen Youyou is narcissistic. This little face is indeed very pretty. Besides, the way she speaks and acts is not like an ordinary farm girl who is a little timid when meeting people.

Whether in novels or TV dramas, aren't such heroines always popular with those silly young men? So she must take precautions in advance and never wear women's clothes outside no matter what.

But in the end, she still couldn't persuade her mother, who said that even if she didn't wear it outside, she had to have a set of women's clothes, even if it was only worn at home.

Shen Youyou chose two fine cotton men's gowns for herself, one in cyan and one in moonlight white.

The older sisters were much more normal, they all chose ready-made cotton clothes in all kinds of colors, looking very showy.

The lower body is also matched with a pleated skirt.

The whole outfit cost about one ounce and four cents of silver, and a pair of embroidered shoes.

Her silk dress was expensive, and her mother bought her embroidered shoes for it, which cost a total of nine taels of silver. The two men's long gowns were cheap, made of ordinary fine cotton cloth, which cost one tael and eight cents.

The shopkeeper's eyes were already narrowed with smiles. Just a group of little girls bought a total of thirty-seven taels and four cents worth of ready-made clothes.

He was quite generous and wiped out four cents, leaving only thirty-seven taels.

Shen Youyou took four coins of silver, which was what everyone had left over. She and her sisters divided it equally, and each of them could save twenty coins.

Shen Luming came running over, pointed at a blue robe and said he wanted to buy that.

Li Jingshu and Shen Youyou turned their heads at the same time: "I have to say, my son has really good taste. This robe will definitely look good on your father."

Shen Youyou nodded: "Indeed,"

The robe was made of dark blue satin, I don't know how it was woven, but it had dark patterns on it. The collar, cuffs, and belt were also embroidered with bamboo patterns in silver thread.

This looks very decent on Shen Zhiqiu.
