Chapter 39: Azure Apprenticeship (II)
Regarding the matter of worshipping the king tailor as a teacher, Xiang Tianqing was asked by the Deng family about the apprenticeship before he got a letter of approval, and of course he couldn't answer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Ah, I, I don't know yet."
Yin Qianhe originally wanted to discuss this matter with him again tonight, but Deng Shi brought it up first. She had no choice but to come forward on his behalf and said: "Tianqing is a newcomer, and he doesn't understand many things in the capital, so please teach him." ”
For women, they have to inquire about anything new in their neighborhood, and then make a conversation after dinner. Therefore, Deng's words made almost everyone present curious. Like a flock of ducks waiting to be fed, everyone looked at Deng in unison, stretching their necks in the hope of getting more "food" from her.
Deng Shi seemed to notice this, so he deliberately cleared his throat and said with a smile: "It's all the old rules, and it's easy to say, it's nothing more than worshipping the ancestor and toasting tea or something." Of course, our craftsmanship is a family heirloom, and there is no ancestral master, so we will worship the ancestors of the Wang family as tailors. Also, I want to send the four-color gift to the master's house. ”
Yin Qianhe thought to himself: "This is the point you have to say." ”
"Which four-color ceremony?"
"They are two pieces of cloth, two colors of meat, two buckets of wine, and two seals of tea. These are the rules. The rest depends on the sincerity of the apprentice. Our head of the family has never apprenticed, nor has he ever had an apprentice, there is no comparison, you are free. ”
Receiving gifts is casual, just like when inviting guests to dinner, the guests say that whatever they eat is a nature. That's what I'm most afraid of, are you embarrassed to do it too badly?
How Yin Qianhe didn't know what Deng said outside his words, he only felt a burst of disgust in his heart, this Deng knew that Xiang Tianqing had no money, and he gave him this problem to make it difficult for him, which was really too much.
When the tailor saw that his woman was saluting in front of her, he was deeply ashamed. But when she said it, it was not good for him to "slap her in the mouth" in front of so many people, so he stood up and said: "It's not easy for Tianqing to be out alone, no other etiquette is needed, and the four-color ceremony can be halved." The apprentice's mind to the master is in the future, not at this time. ”
"But ......"
Deng was dissatisfied with Tailor Wang's resolution and wanted to oppose it, but Tailor Wang stopped him sharply: "Okay, let's talk about private matters later, do your work well, don't be lazy and delay the affairs of the owner." ”
Tailor Wang's words were serious, not like a joke, Deng didn't dare to reply, he muttered a few words and walked away.
"Work and work, who hasn't worked?"
The rest of the people were also busy bowing their heads and doing things, and secretly laughed at Deng. Yin Qianhe almost laughed. Only Xiang Tianqing is still stunned, is this how it happened?
――――――――
On the day of apprenticeship, Xiang Tianqing went to the tailor's house early in the morning with a gift. These gifts were all prepared by the Yin family sisters with him, in order to prevent the Deng family from making irresponsible remarks in the future, Yin Qianhe still asked him to buy all the four-color gifts, not to halve them as Tailor Wang said, so as not to give birth to a discourse.
Xiang Tianqing found the Wang family alone, and at that time, the Wang family had also prepared things for apprenticeship, which was nothing more than tea, soup and a little gift to Xiang Tianqing, which was also the rule.
First they offered an offering to the celestial general, and then the royal tailor sat on it and accepted the prostration. After the ceremony, the tea is changed, which is similar to the newcomer getting married and respecting his parents and changing the tea, and the apprentice should call the master at this time.
At the moment when he called out the master, Xiang Tianqing himself and Tailor Wang actually had a sense of accomplishment at the same time. One is because I finally succeeded in worshipping the teacher, and the other is because I accepted a good apprentice.
Tailor Wang asked Xiang Tianqing to bow twice in the direction of the tomb of his father, the old tailor Wang, which was considered to be a worship to the master.
At the end of the apprenticeship, Xiang Tianqing drank soup, and returned to Yin's workshop with Wang's tailor's family. On the way, Xiang Tianqing called Deng Shi his sister and Wang Shuibi his sister. Deng was still not very happy about the gift, so he didn't pay much attention to him, and Wang Shuibi was embarrassed to talk to him more.
The four of them walked on the road, with different expressions, one with a kind face, one with resentment, one with joy, and one with timidity, forming a very interesting picture.
After apprenticing to Tianqing, the people in the workshop didn't dare to instruct him casually, except for the Deng family. Deng took it for granted that he asked him to help her do things, but sometimes because of the power of the tailor, he didn't dare to do it. The speed of making clothes to Tianqing immediately increased a lot, and Yin Qianhe's goal was basically achieved.
And the original intention of tailor Wang to accept this apprentice was not this, he had paid close attention to this young man before, and found that he not only had real materials in the craft of tailoring, but also was rare to be honest and able to learn with an open mind. Tailor Wang has a good impression of him, and now that the two have become masters and apprentices, Tailor Wang wants to do his duty as a master and teach him something sincerely.
According to his observation, Xiang Tianqing's foundation is very good, and all he lacks is experience and the way to deal with some special fabrics and styles. In order to train him, Tailor Wang began to involve him in the production of samples, and also listened to some of his suggestions by the way.
――――――――
The workshop quickly made a batch of summer clothes, and for the grand reopening of Yun Xiangyi, Yin Qianhe thought of a way, that is, to invite a group of models, and it was free of charge.
On a sunny afternoon, with a newly made summer coat, Yin Qianhe embarked on the road to invite models, and the first destination was naturally Chuyunlou, where beauties gathered. She first sent the clothes to the innermost Banqing Pavilion for Xie Yu to see, because even if she showed the other girls first, they would ask Xie Yu which one he liked.
"Did you make some floral dresses this time? The colors are all beautiful. Xie Yu said as he flipped through the clothes Yin Qianhe brought.
"You call it a flower skirt? I'm called a color-blocked dress. I saw that almost no one wore this kind of dress, so I thought I would make a batch and see if it could be a hot seller. Yin Qianhe replied.
Explained: "This kind of flower skirt is not worn by many people now, but I have read it in the book, and it used to be quite popular with women. ”
"I also know that there was such a skirt, but I don't remember which dynasty it was in, it seems that there are also moonflower skirts and phoenix tail skirts. It turned out that it was popular before this dynasty, so I don't call it avant-garde, but retro.
But it doesn't matter, the style of clothes is similar to the four seasons, and it will be repeated after a certain cycle of changes, and the same is true for people's aesthetics. As long as there are enough influential people to lead the way, the trend will rise. ”
"I haven't heard of the Yuehua skirt and the phoenix tail skirt, you can make two next time. How are you going to push these summer clothes this time?"
Yin Qianhe smiled mysteriously, pretending to sell a pass: "Immortals have their own tricks." ”
Fang Ling laughed out loud and teased: "May I ask which way of the fairy is this?" ”
"Of course I'm a cloth fairy, making clothes for other immortals."
"It seems that your immortal level is not too high, that is, a miscellaneous person."
"Don't take the village chief for not being an official, no matter how young he is, he is an immortal. You little mortal, dare to be so disrespectful to this great immortal, be careful that this great immortal will sin you, so that you will not be able to wear beautiful clothes for the rest of your life. ”
"Come down and see, I want to see it."
"Hey, you girl is becoming more and more lawless, and she is not even afraid of immortals."
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of, the gods have never blessed me, so I don't respect them." Fang Ling became serious as she spoke.
At this time, Xie Yu interrupted the two of them joking: "You guys don't blaspheme the immortals anymore." Qianhe, tell me about your method, I think the method you came up with should be quite interesting. ”
