"Sister, you were able to tell I was a man at a glance. That's amazing. Nobody else could tell."
The only person who could be a cross-dressing master in the prefectural government office besides the young master Gu An'an could think of was the man himself.
If this were done by the young master of the Chen family, I believe no one would dare to say, "Young master, your disguise is too rough and you don't look like a woman at all."
Gu An'an came to the prefectural government only to temporarily play the role of a cook; she had no intention of taking on multiple roles as a makeup artist.
"Play with me, play with me, and I'll give you money." The cross-dressing man said as he reached down to touch her.
Seeing him walk down the wrong path, Gu An'an quickly stopped him, "No, no, no, even if you give me more, I won't..."
Upon seeing the stack of silver notes, Gu An'an hesitated slightly.
"for you."
One silver note, five hundred taels.
Gu An'an did the math and realized that Chen Shu was a very generous customer, so she gave her a deposit of one hundred taels plus a final payment of one hundred taels.
However, this pales in comparison to the cross-dressing master who casually throws out five hundred taels of silver.
Gu An'an hesitated slightly.
That's five hundred taels!
"Is it too little?"
The cross-dressing man took out another silver note, "Good sister, I'll give you another one, please help me."
It's impossible for us to be good sisters, but I'll do it for the sake of the money.
Gu An'an nodded. "I'm busy and don't have time to do your makeup, but your fingers are a bit too rough. You should use some perfume to moisturize them. As for clothes, it's not suitable for you to wear pink and tender clothes because you're tall. You can choose bright red or red and black clothes. Don't make it too complicated."
This cross-dressing man is full of flaws; it's a wonder the prefectural officials didn't expose him.
"As for this hairstyle, don't use too many tassels, a few hairpins will do just fine."
"Also, don't walk in a swaying or awkward way, as that will only arouse suspicion."
"Women's clothing is nice, but I think..."
The cross-dressing man interrupted Gu An'an, "I just want to wear Shu'er's pretty clothes and her jewelry."
Every cross-dressing master has an interesting soul deep inside, Gu An'an wholeheartedly agreed, "Hmm, I understand, just do as I say first."
"Thank you, sister. You're so kind. I like you, sister."
Gu An'an: "I dare not accept such praise."
She only gave serious advice because of the money; who would turn down money?
Gu An'an's eyes were filled with the stench of money; she was an extremely vulgar person.
After finally getting rid of this big shot, Gu An'an breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could fully exhale, someone else came over.
"My young lady requests your presence."
Chen Shu was a meticulous person and knew that Gu An'an didn't want to cause any trouble regarding food, so she always had her maid come and hand over the matter to her.
This is also the main reason why Gu An'an was able to recognize at a glance that something was wrong with the cross-dressing man.
The maid, Jin Ying, was a quick-witted and eloquent girl. While eating the fruit made by Gu An'an, she whispered, "My young lady is a very kind person. However, she saw the young master come here just now, so she wanted to say a few words to Madam Gu."
The siblings from the Chen family grew up together since birth, and their names are derived from the Book of Songs.
One is the character "姝" (shū), meaning quiet and beautiful, while the other is "邶" (bì), meaning to take from the Book of Songs, specifically the section on the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, no one expected that Chen Bei, this young master, had always liked to be surrounded by women since childhood. Unlike those other playboys, he always liked to dress up girls and preferred to dress himself up as a girl.
With his youngest son proving so disappointing, Prefect Chen was at a loss. Fortunately, he had an even more promising eldest son.
This strict father was always busy and couldn't discipline his youngest son.
Chen Shu, on the other hand, grew up with her younger brother and had a motherly demeanor, disciplining her brothers regularly.
Of course, this is just an official explanation.
If they had been properly disciplined, they wouldn't be in this state now.
Ultimately, it was because it wasn't managed properly.
Feeling that her youngest son had no responsibility to inherit the family business, she let him run wild.
Another issue is that they can't be disciplined, so the only hope is that the child will grow up and become sensible.
Little do people know that cross-dressing is a psychological problem, and it is very difficult for individuals to correct it on their own without guidance and correction.
This is a matter within the prefectural government's internal affairs, and Gu An'an has no intention of interfering.
As they went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, they saw Chen Shu chatting with Feng Batian and Feng Yue from afar.
The two are best friends and visit each other frequently.
"Yue'er just said this snack is delicious, so I invited you, Madam Gu, to come over. Yue'er, if you have any questions, feel free to ask Madam Gu directly."
Does Feng Batian like desserts?
Gu An'an thought about it and realized something was wrong.
The male protagonist, who is clearly arrogant and domineering, likes to eat desserts. The female protagonist, who is domineering and domineering, even mocked him for it. Later, it developed into a little fun between the two of them. How did he change his taste?
"Madam Gu, is it inconvenient to say?"
Gu An'an suddenly came to her senses and looked at the two sisters who were looking at her. "There's nothing to hide, but I'm wondering where to begin."
Making pastries requires a lot of oil and various kinds of flour. It's too expensive and troublesome, so Gu An'an doesn't like it.
If it weren't for the fact that she was trying to make money off Chen Shu, and that there were already ingredients in the small kitchen, she wouldn't have bothered making all this.
After a moment's thought, Gu An'an quickly explained the process of making the desserts to the two sisters.
Chen Shu, listening from the side, asked curiously, "Yue'er, who are you planning to cook for?"
Gu An'an felt she shouldn't have overheard these private conversations between best friends.
She walked outside, but before she had taken more than a few steps, she saw someone rushing towards her.
People who prioritize safety will instinctively dodge away.
She managed to dodge it, but the person rushing towards her wasn't so lucky.
He plunged headfirst into the lake.
Fortunately, the weather is hot now, so even if I fall into the water, it won't be a big deal.
Gu An'an stared blankly at the head that emerged from the lake, at the colorful face.
"Sister, what do you think of my outfit?"
The person in the lake was Chen Bei, the young master of the Chen family.
I don't know how much makeup I used on my face, but after walking in the water, it suddenly became a dazzling array of colors.
Especially since there are many lotus flowers planted in this lake, people emerging from the water now have a green lotus leaf on their heads, as if they are wearing a green hat.
"Gugua".
Gu An'an then noticed that there was a green frog on the lotus leaf.
"Why don't you come out first?"
Chen Bei climbed out of the lake, her red dress stained with mud and weeds, looking rather disheveled.
Gu An'an tiptoed and reached out to pluck the lotus leaf off his head.
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Feng Yue narrowed her eyes upon seeing this scene. "Does she know your A-Bei?"
