I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 108 Women disguised as men
It was still early when Xu Congyi came out of Tangji Cake Shop, so she planned to go shopping in the clothing store. The clothes of her two brothers were not suitable for her. Their clothes were too big, and they were mostly short shirts made of coarse cloth for the convenience of labor. The clothing store had a wide variety of ready-made clothes, which made people dazzled. Xu Congyi carefully selected in the store, and finally her eyes were attracted by a dark green satin long gown, but when Xu Congyi asked the price, she was told that the ready-made clothes needed twenty taels of silver. She retracted her hand in embarrassment, and decided to go back to the space to choose, because the clothes in the space were free.
The next day, Xu Congyi got up early and took the first oxcart to the city. After arriving in the city, she found a place to enter the space and put on makeup. There were still many people in the morning, so Xu Congyi simply rented an inn for half a day. She rented the cheapest room near the back door. Anyway, she didn't rest in the house, and it was convenient to walk near the back door.
After locking the door, Xu Congyi turned and entered the space. She sat in front of her dressing table and gently untied her long black hair. In the past six months, Xu Congyi has not only grown taller and fatter, but she has also taken good care of her previously frizzy hair, and her silky smooth hair is shining. Because she needs to dress up as a man today, Xu Congyi is particularly careful. She uses a thin hairband to carefully tie up her long black hair and tightly coil it on the top of her head to ensure that her hair will not reveal any flaws. She tries to keep her hair close to her scalp to make it look more natural. Then, she picked a wig that matches the men's outfit from the ancient costume performance wigs she bought on Taobao, and gently put it on her head to completely cover her real hair. The next step is to modify her face. Xu Congyi took out the carbon black eyebrow pencil and gently thickened her eyebrows to make them look thicker and more masculine. She also bought a foundation that is a few shades darker than her skin color to cover up her original tenderness and appear more resolute.
When choosing clothes, Xu Congyi pays great attention to details. She knows the principle of "respecting the clothes first and then respecting the person", especially when she is following Tang Wenhao as a friend, she cannot be careless in dressing up. Xu Congyi carefully selected a high-quality dark green men's robe. The tailoring of this robe is extremely fine, and the color of the robe is calm and majestic, just like the dark green of the night, giving people a sense of majesty and solemnity, but not losing elegance. She knows that the posture of men is completely different from that of women, so before dressing up, she deliberately stood in front of a full-length mirror, carefully observing and imitating the standing posture of men.
She held her head and chest high, and slightly rolled her shoulders back, showing off her masculinity. Her hands drooped naturally, not looking stiff or too casual. She practiced and adjusted repeatedly until her posture looked no different from that of a real man, and was natural enough.
After everything was ready, Xu Congyi put on the dark green men's robe. She stood in front of the mirror again, and saw that she had changed in the mirror. The robe looked so good on her, as if it was tailor-made. She had an upright posture and a confident temperament, just like a gentleman with elegant manners.
After finishing her makeup, Xu Congyi gently opened the door and carefully poked her head out. Fortunately, there was no one at the door, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she swaggered out of the back door with a smug smile on her face.
After leaving the store, Xu Congyi went straight to Tang's. Sure enough, none of the waiters in Tang's recognized this handsome young man as Miss Xu, and they just treated her as an ordinary guest. She wandered around the store, observing the reactions of the waiters from time to time. She was very excited to find that none of the waiters recognized her, but she did not reveal that she was Xu Congyi. There were many people in the store, and the fewer people who knew about her disguise as a man, the better. She was also afraid of causing trouble, so she lowered her voice to make it thicker, and just said that she was here to see Tang Wenhao.
After the servant went upstairs to pass the message, Tang Wenhao understood what was going on when he heard that it was a handsome young man he had never seen before who came to see him. So he asked the servant to invite the young man downstairs in.
When Tang Wenhao saw Xu Congyi, who was dressed as a man, his eyes widened and he looked carefully at the "young man" in front of him. He had to admit that Miss Xu's disguise skills were indeed superb, and had reached the level of perfection. Even he, who claimed to be knowledgeable, almost couldn't tell it.
"What do you think, Mr. Tang? With this outfit, I can pretend to be your friend and others won't recognize that I am a woman!" Xu Congyi blinked proudly, seeming to be quite satisfied with his masterpiece.
Tang Wenhao couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha, I can't recognize him, absolutely not! Shen Xiao will come to me later, don't say anything then, let's tease him together!" He planned to play a tease on Shen Xiao.
Soon, Shen Xiao arrived as promised. He walked into the room, glanced around the room, and finally landed on Xu Congyi. Xu Congyi was sitting quietly, his hands crossed in front of his chest, his expression indifferent, as if he was really a gentleman. Although Shen Xiao was a little confused, he nodded politely when he saw that Xu Congyi did not take the initiative to talk.
"Shen Xiao, this is my new friend." Tang Wenhao pointed at Xu Congyi and introduced him, "He will go to the academy with us later." He deliberately emphasized his tone to attract Shen Xiao's attention.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiao said politely, "Hello, sir. I am Shen Xiao, and I am Wen Hao's classmate."
Xu Congyi was secretly delighted when she heard Shen Xiao's words. She suppressed her smile and tried to keep herself calm. Shen Xiao on the other side seemed a little confused. Seeing that Xu Congyi had not spoken, he turned his head to look at Tang Wenhao standing behind him, wanting to ask something.
Tang Wenhao looked at Shen Xiao's confused expression, and a playful smile appeared on his lips, "Shen Xiao, do you think this young master is a little special?"
Shen Xiao was even more confused by Tang Wenhao's words. He looked at Xu Congyi carefully again, but still didn't see anything unusual. He could only smile helplessly and said, "Wenhao, your new friend is indeed different, but I really can't see what's special about him."
Tang Wenhao deliberately slowed down his speech and spoke word by word: "Shen Xiao, don't underestimate this young man. Let me tell you, he - is actually..." When Tang Wenhao said this, he glanced at Shen Xiao and Xu Congyi cunningly, deliberately lengthening the tone to create a tense atmosphere.
"She - is actually Miss Xu!" Tang Wenhao finally revealed the answer, with a hint of pride in his voice.
