Lin Wan frowned and asked, "How many sewing masters do we have in our shop now?How old are the jewelry craftsmen?Are there any apprentices?"

Shopkeeper Tang replied respectfully: "Miss Hui, there are now four sewing masters and four jewelry craftsmen in our shop, all of whom are about forty or fifty years old, and have been working in the store for more than 20 years, each with an apprentice. ”

Lin Wan nodded, and then asked, "Do you know who among these apprentices has a talent for clothing design?"

Shopkeeper Tang pondered for a moment, glanced at Lin Wan, and said with some hesitation: "My subordinate daughter Tang Ying, who is thirteen years old this year, because she lost her mother at a young age, depends on her subordinates, and has followed me to live in the store since she was a child.

Lin Wan smiled and nodded, "Okay, let her bring me the drawings that have been drawn in between." ”

Shopkeeper Tang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the maid at the door to call Tang Ying over.

After a while, a slender and fair-skinned girl wearing a long green dress walked in, and curtsy to Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen generously: "Ying'er has seen Miss and Childe. ”

Lin Ruichen nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

Lin Wan smiled slightly and looked at Tang Ying carefully. Tang Ying's appearance is not outstanding, she can only be regarded as delicate, and she dresses differently, but it makes people feel very comfortable and appropriate.

Tang Ying's long skirt is very exquisitely cut, without a belt, the long skirt naturally hangs down closely, and there are layers of irregular lace embellishments around the waist, which covers up her overly slender waist, and it is very novel and good-looking. Covered with a light light green gauze coat, long to the waist, you can faintly see some delicate patterns on the long skirt, the cuffs only reach the wrists, not wide, but very fluffy, revealing the slender half of the wrist and slender fingers. This is the first time Lin Wan has seen nine-quarter sleeves in this era, and he is excited.

Lin Wan nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Tang, did you design this dress yourself?"

Tang Ying raised her head, looked directly at Lin Wan, nodded slightly, and replied, "Yes, Miss." Not only did I design it, but I made it myself. ”

"Well, I really like your design. Lin Wan paused for a moment and asked the shopkeeper Tang: "I want to hire Miss Tang to be the designer of the Shadow Fragrance Pavilion, I wonder if your father and daughter are willing?" After all, Miss Tang is not young, and she may get married soon, I don't know what your plans are?"

Tang Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, she opened her mouth to answer, and then looked back at the shopkeeper Tang, her eyes darkened, and she lowered her head.

Shopkeeper Tang sighed, took a step forward, and replied: "Miss Hui's words, the little girl has reached the age of marriage, but her subordinates have not remarried, and there are no female elders in the family to help each other, so the family affairs have not yet been settled." Shopkeeper Tang hesitated for a moment and continued: "Ying'er has been very assertive since she was a child, saying that there is no suitable candidate, and she is willing to help her subordinates run the Liying Xiang Pavilion together for life. But the subordinates refused to agree, and the subordinates were presumptuous and wanted to ask the young lady to help with an idea. ”

Lin Wan was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this! I don't have to worry about family affairs, I like Ying'er very much, let her always follow me, and wait until she meets the right person." Lin Wan turned to Tang Ying and said: "There is no conflict between family affairs and running the Shadow Fragrance Pavilion, if you have this ability, and your future in-laws have no opinions, I can hand over the Shadow Fragrance Pavilion to you to take care of." ”

Tang Ying raised her head suddenly, looked at Lin Wan with big bright eyes, and blurted out, "Really?"

Lin Wan glanced back at the shopkeeper Tang, and saw that he was also very happy, and did not object, smiled slightly, nodded to Tang Ying and said, "Of course." ”

Tang Ying stabilized her emotions and explained with a smile: "I grew up in the Shadow Pavilion since I was a child, this place is like my home, I don't want to leave this home, I will definitely prove my ability to the young lady." ”

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Okay." Now there is a good opportunity, the Qixi banquet invited most of the noble ladies and ladies in the capital, you have to design a few sets of banquet costumes that can make people shine as soon as possible, but not rude, we Liying Xiangge will be in the Qixi banquet to wipe out the upper class of the capital. Do you have faith?"

Tang Ying nodded firmly and said, "I have confidence." ”

Lin Wan Zhengse said: "But there is not much time for you, ten days to design, ten days to make it, is it okay?"

Tang Ying hesitated a little and said embarrassedly: "Miss, these are not difficult, but the design is different from person to person, can I meet the person who wants to wear these clothes first?"

Lin Wan nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, you can follow me from now on." I'll let you see them as soon as I can. ”

Tang Ying was full of confidence, nodded and said, "Yes, Miss." ”

"You go and get ready, take what you need and wait for me in the carriage outside. Lin Wan commanded.

Tang Ying did not hesitate, curtsied and said goodbye, and withdrew.

Lin Wan instructed the shopkeeper Tang again: "Let the masters in the store prepare, temporarily put down the less important work in their hands, prepare the materials, and have a good rest, and when Ying'er's design drawings come out, they may need to rush to work day and night." ”

Shopkeeper Tang replied: "Yes, Miss, the subordinates will arrange everything." ”

Lin Wan nodded and said no more. When he turned around, he saw that Lin Ruichen was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he had fallen asleep, but as soon as Lin Wan looked over, he slowly opened his eyes.

Lin Wan smiled and asked, "Brother, are you still satisfied with my plan?"

Lin Ruichen smiled slightly, nodded and said, "The plan is good, but I'll wait and see how it works!" Saying that, Lin Ruichen stood up and continued: "It's not too early, let's go." ”

Lin Wan nodded, and followed Lin Ruichen out of the Shadow Fragrance Pavilion.

Outside the gate, Tang Ying stood by the carriage with a homemade floral bag hanging on her arm. Fluttershy was looking at Tang Ying's clothes and baggage in amazement, and when she saw Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen coming out, she hurriedly ran over and helped Lin Wan into the carriage.

The four of them sat in the carriage and went all the way to Tianxiang Tower.

At the time of unitary, Tianxianglou, as in the past, was already full of people. Shopkeeper Ji greeted the door, led Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen upstairs, and said as he walked: "Changfeng Gongzi and Jin Gongzi are in room No. 1 of Tianzi, and Gongzi Feng and Gongzi Wu are in room No. 2. ”

Lin Wan smiled and said to Lin Ruichen: "Brother, let's eat our own food first, and when you're over there, come and meet my friend, how about it?"

Lin Ruichen glanced at Lin Wan and nodded slightly jealously: "Well, I also want to meet the eldest brother you recognize, and see how you compare to my own brother." ”

Lin Wan hugged Lin Ruichen's arm and said with a flattering smile: "Brother, how can Wan'er say that you are compared to others, no one can compare to you, you are the best." ”

Lin Ruichen shuddered when he heard this, shivered exaggeratedly, pulled out his arm in disgust, took two quick steps, and pretended not to know her. Lin Wan didn't care, smiled, and followed closely.
