Chapter 30 It's Her
"...Hey! You said that the lord asked us to lead that Zhangtao up the mountain during the Double Ninth Festival. Isn't that embarrassing us? The custom here is that only men go up the mountain that day, and women plant dogwood at home. How can we two big men attract us? A big girl is going up the mountain that day!"

"Isn't it? How about we spend some money and go to a nearby village to find a girl and let her take Zhang Tao up the mountain that day?"

"But we can't find a suitable person for a while! The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon."

"Hey... Tell me, why did our lord lead Zhang Tao up the mountain that day?"

"I heard that it's because Zhang Tao rejected our lord's marriage proposal. We lords are unwilling to give up. And it just so happens that on the day of Chongyang Festival, some adults want to hold a literary meeting on the mountain. When that time comes, not only the people from our county , people from other counties will come over, when Zhang Tao is led up the mountain, and something will happen to our adults, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she can't marry if she doesn't want to."

"This girl is also unlucky, she is being targeted by our adults."

"Shh, you don't want to die, dare to say that!"

"You're too careful, it's so remote here, and there's no one there, so what are you afraid of!"

"Then be careful, otherwise, it will be the two of us who will be unlucky at that time. Take a rest, let's find someone..."

"I can't rest anymore, let's find someone quickly."

Zhang Liu stood at the corner and waited for the two of them to walk away before walking out slowly.She strung together the words of these two people and came to a conclusion: Xing Qinshou has not given up yet, and still wants to design Zhang Tao on the Double Ninth Festival.She rolled her eyes and left here too.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Double Ninth Festival.

On this day, every family got up early and began to clean the house and yard inside and out.Wealthy people put on new clothes, poor people put on clean clothes, bring dogwood purses, pick off their favorite chrysanthemums, and put them on the temples.The men go out together to pray for blessings, while the women smoke the house with dogwood.

Seeing that the second brother and the younger brother were wearing a chrysanthemum in their ears, Zhang Xing suddenly thought of Zhu Bajie wearing a flower, twitching the corners of his mouth, turned around quickly, and went to give the eldest sister a haircut. Xiao Ji found a not too big chrysanthemum that looked pleasing to the eye and put it on for her.He took out the bronze mirror and showed her, "Sister, it's so beautiful!"

Zhang Tao stroked her hair, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's Sanmei, you're so handy."

"No matter how skillful you are, you have to have a good foundation." Zhang Xing pulled her up and asked her to change into a new set of clothes she had prepared. "This is the latest popular color in the county. I managed to grab it. A piece of material, find someone to make a dress for you, try it on quickly to see if it fits."

Seeing her younger sister offering treasures, Zhang Tao felt amused and moved. Touching the silky fabric and looking at the bright colors, Zhang Tao suppressed her liking, and refused, "Sister, I have clothes. It’s still very new, you can save this clothes for later.” Her previous clothes were all remade from adults’ old clothes, and the colors were all gray, and when she was too young, she gave them to her younger siblings. I won’t add a new dress for several years. Since Sanmei sold ginseng, the family’s situation has improved a lot. Sanmei will often buy some fabrics for the family. In the past year or so, she has added Got 3 sets of clothes.This is something she never dared to think about before.

"Sister, this is made according to your size, you can just wear it, put this dress, when I can wear it, the color probably won't be bright, isn't this a waste of things."

"What about you? Didn't you make yourself one?"

"I have, I can still treat myself badly." Zhang Xing turned out another emerald green dress from one side.

Zhang Tao saw that she had it too, so she went to put on new clothes without worry.

"Sister, there is still a while before dinner, let's go water the vegetables in the yard first."

"it is good."

The two talked and laughed in the yard, and finished pouring the water in a while.

On a tree not far from their yard, a pair of eyes saw all this.

Grandma Zhang saw Zhang Tao's outfit today, some presbyopic eyes lit up, she stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Tao, looked him up and down, and laughed out loud, "Tao'er looks good today, her hair looks good, and her clothes look good too , dress like this from now on."

Zhang Xing booed at the side: "Grandma, did my eldest sister not look good before?"

"It's beautiful, it was beautiful before, and it's even better today."

Zhang Tao was being embarrassed by grandma's praise, when she saw Zhang's mother come in.The smile on his face was slightly retracted.

Grandma Zhang also saw Mother Zhang, snorted, and took Zhang Tao to sit at the table. Mother Zhang put the bowl in front of Grandma Zhang, and hurried out again.

Zhang Xing wiped her face with her sleeve when she saw her going out.Don't think about it, I know I'm crying again.Since the marriage proposal happened, Zhang's mother has become more transparent at home.Be careful in everything you do, don't dare to make a sound at the dinner table, only eat what is in your own bowl, and don't dare to stretch out your chopsticks to pick up vegetables... Sometimes Zhang Xing can't stand it, and if you add a chopstick dish to her, she will He smiled at her flattered, with a flattering smile.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Xing sighed in her heart, Zhang's mother really answered the sentence "poor people must have something to hate".She is Yuanchen's mother, and one of Yuanchen's wishes is to protect her family.Therefore, even if she feels a little cold about some of Zhang's mother's actions, she will take good care of her and give her a prosperous life.As for the rest, forget about it.

After eating, Zhang Lin took Zhang Xiaodi to the mountain to participate in the Double Ninth Festival held by Liu Chengyang.Zhang Tao went to do a show job, Zhang Xing and Xue Zhongyong asked for leave today, and stayed at home to read.

"Sister Tao'er, sister Tao'er, are you home?"

Zhang Xing thought in her heart: Here we come!
Zhang Tao put down her show work and went to open the door, "Liuer, why are you here? What can I do for you?" Since Zhang Liu lied to her sister's ginseng, she ignored her and sometimes met her in the village. , also hummed to himself, why did you come to find yourself again today?This is a bit like what my sister said, "Weasels give chickens New Year's greetings, and they have no good intentions." Zhang Tao was on guard.

When Zhang Liu saw Zhang Tao's dress today, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.Zhang Tao actually wore a dress of the same style and color as her today!Most importantly, she is not as good-looking as Zhang Tao!She's so mad, it's nothing more than bumping into her shirt, she hasn't bumped into anyone yet!
When Zhang Xing came out, she saw Zhang Liu's face, and she felt secretly refreshed. She saw Zhang Liu go to that tailor shop to make clothes, so she went to make an identical one for her elder sister.As the saying goes, it’s not scary to bump into your shirt, it’s embarrassing whoever is ugly.Now, Zhang Liu is the ugly one.For a person who always wants to compare with others and has a narrow chest, it makes her feel more uncomfortable than beating her.

Tsk tsk tsk, look at that face, it looks like black grapes.

"Sister Liu'er, your clothes are actually the same as my elder sister's. Did you also make them in the Hu's tailor shop in the county? But your hairstyle doesn't look good and doesn't match your clothes." Zhang Xing stood aside He was happy to see her change of face, and he didn't forget to poke her with a needle.

Hearing this, Zhang Liu's face became even more distorted.

Just when Zhang Tao thought she was going to violently beat someone, Zhang Liu recovered his expression and even smiled. Zhang Tao's heart was full of alarm bells, this is absolutely abnormal!

"Sister Taoer, I came here today to invite you to go to the mountain to play together. I heard that there is a literary conference on the mountain. Not only scholars from our county, but also scholars from other counties are here. I have never seen so many scholars. , let's go and see if it's okay, Sister Tao'er, you are so beautiful today, maybe you can meet a good relationship." There is a bit of gnashing of teeth to meet a good relationship.

Zhang Tao's face turned cold: "Liu'er! What nonsense are you talking about! Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker! How can you tell people not to respect etiquette and abide by the rules of etiquette, and to make a private life with someone? What do you really care about? ?! If you talk nonsense in my house again, I will go ask brother Xiaosong how he usually teaches you!"

Zhang Liu was so frightened by her aura that he took a step back, and then became angry, bah, that sounds nice, who are you trying to seduce by dressing up like this? "Sister Tao'er, you misunderstood me. I said the wrong thing just now. I was just curious about what so many scholars are doing together, so I thought of inviting you to see the excitement. And Tweety from our village, Xiaohong They're all gone, you can go with me too."

Zhang Tao was about to refuse, but Zhang Xing pulled her sleeves, "Sister, I'm also curious, let's go and have a look together."

Zhang Tao looked at her younger sister, she always knew that her younger sister had a lot of evil ideas, and she didn't know what she meant by agreeing to Zhang Liu, but she didn't refute, "Yeah."

Zhang Xing said to Zhang Liu, who was beaming, "Sister Liu'er, your hairstyle is too ugly. You and my eldest sister are walking together. That scene, tsk tsk. With such a backdrop, even if Sister Liu'er wants to be in those It’s not enough to make a good impression in front of talented people, isn’t it, let alone, Sister Liu’er, you still want to take the opportunity to find a good man!” Seeing Zhang Liu’s eyes spitting fire, but she still had to hold back, Zhang Xing said no in her heart. She said happily, "Sister Liu'er, come on, I'll change your style for you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liu didn't allow Zhang Liu to resist, so he pushed her down on the chair, combed her the same hairstyle as the eldest sister, and put a chrysanthemum on her head.

While working on Zhang Liu's head, Zhang Xing said to Zhang Tao: "Sister, go to the back room and change your clothes. We will go up the mountain later. Although you look good in this dress, it is not easy to walk."

Originally, Zhang Liu wanted to go back and change clothes because of Zhuangshan, so he gave up this idea, still humming in his heart, changing this is just right, and he can wear it by himself, which saves people from always comparing them.

Zhang Tao, who had changed her clothes, and Zhang Liu and Zhang Xing, who had done their hair, went out.

The two men who were wandering at the entrance of Zhangjia Village saw the three people coming out of the village. Their eyes swept over the three of them, and finally settled on Zhang Liu: the hairstyle, chrysanthemum, and clothes all matched.That's her.Although they thought the girl next to her was prettier, maybe adults have special tastes.
