Chapter 608: Strange Costumes
Fu Jin has four embroidery girls and four seamstresses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info embroidery girls have not yet married, they live in the side hall of the Fujin courtyard, the tailors are married, live outside the house, and come to work every day. The embroidery girls are responsible for the embroidery and ornamentation of the clothes of the hostesses. Every year and festivals, they have to make new clothes for the masters, and a "hundred butterflies wearing flower jackets" in Fujin was embroidered for five months. There are other embroidery products, which have to be embroidered stitch by stitch. The prince and the prince no longer wear embroidered clothes, but the shoes and boots they wear have patterns of clouds and scales. The hem, cuffs, and neckline of the clothes also have delicate patterns, which are not as simple as embroidery. So, the embroidery girls are not very idle. Now, Fujin allocates them an embroidery machine, a lace embroidery machine and two sewing machines. These two sewing machines can not only make clothes, but also embroider. But it's not embroidery but flat embroidery, so it also stunned a few embroiderers. The names of the four embroiderers are Ju'er, Zhu'er, Yu'er and Fu'er. Three of them are full-time embroiderers given to Fujin by the Queen Mother the year before last, and Zhu'er is the daughter of Mama Lin, all of whom are skilled. These four embroiderers get up early every day and work frantically to ******** embroidery. I have never seen an embroidery machine, it is much faster than a human hand, and the labor intensity is not as great as before. After a long time of hand needle embroidery, the eyes are generally not good, the neck and back are sore, and the severe ones are accompanied by nausea, which is actually cervical spondylosis. Shui Er divided the embroidery manuscripts he copied to the four embroidery girls, they were the first time to see so many good-looking embroidery drafts and were stunned, and they couldn't wait to start embroidering, and they had rusted out more than a dozen exquisite embroidery works. Mama Zhang, it's Shui'er, and the embroidery drafts they brought are particularly beautiful and lively, much better than the Qing Dynasty embroidery drafts they used before.
Several seamstresses were also very busy, not only to make clothes for their masters, but also to take on clothes for the guests of the house at any time. There are also temporary tasks. When you are busy, you have to work day and night, and when you are idle, your muscles hurt. They also got the work of processing cloth and art, and they were very happy. I haven't had a job for a while, I want to find some extra income, and it just so happens that there is a job in the house, and the monthly routine is still taken, and the work is paid separately, and it is like a pie in the sky.
When they saw the embryo of the sachet that had begun to take shape for the first time, they were shocked: there was a capable person in the house, and the stitches on the purse were exactly the same size, neater than those carved with a knife. Gossip is the nature of many women, and the tailor asks around who makes the purse that embroiders the flowers and the good edges? As a result, he was called by Fu Jin to reprimand: "What are you doing so much inquiring?" If you want to make money, just do your job obediently and worry about it! ā
The trained grandmother has nothing to say, yes, just do the work obediently, and it is serious to earn the silver.
After finding a little time, Yun'er learned how to make high-power sewing machines and quilting sewing machines for cotton clothes, and taught Yu'er, Shui'er and Jing'er. Then let Tian Liang Nalan send the peach to the house to install it together with the code edge machine, and asked Jing'er to teach her mother to use the sewing machine. Momoko didn't understand what was going on, and her daughter began to demonstrate to her. Momoko couldn't believe the scene in front of her, why was this ironsmith so powerful? The thick seven or eight layers of cloth walked over so easily, and the quilted one, as long as it was trampled over according to the drawn line, the work done was particularly smooth, not to mention how beautiful the rolled cushions were, I had never seen them so old! Peaches was pulled by Jing'er to sit down in front of the sewing machine, explaining over and over again how to practice stepping on an empty car, how to turn a handwheel, how to press cloth, and how to do work. Peaches is no longer as old as a young person, and she gradually understands it under Jing'er's repeated explanations.
"Girl, these things are not things with little silver, why did the masters put them on for their mothers?"
"You've done a great job. Except for the two hostesses and the girls and grandmothers in Mrs. Chen's room, who can use the sewing machine, no one else can touch it. Their sewing machines are not like you, they make single clothes and embroidery. Your machine is called a high-power sewing machine, which means that it is strong, right? I can make cotton pants jacket directly. This one is specially quilted, and this one is yard-edged. Jing'er felt that it was already a great favor for the prince to reach out to help us rescue my brother. My brother's affairs are something that others can manage, he is the prince and not an ordinary person, are you qualified to instruct the prince to do things for you? It's good that they didn't knock us out of the door. The prince also left our family of three in the house, and the food and clothing have caught up with the guards. The master still thinks about you when he buys novelties from so far away, and the prince also teaches his brother new methods of growing vegetables, flowers, and herbs, how can Jing'er think that your friendship with the prince is not ordinary. ā
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl! You know that the mother worked as an errand in the palace, and the Zhezhe Fujin at that time sent the mother to serve the prince. Zhezhe Fujin meant to let his mother be a girl in the palace for the prince, but the prince did not agree. If you change to someone else, who won't pick up this cheaper? It can be seen that the prince is a decent person. At that time, he was only eighteen years old, and he was able to control himself. This is the case, there is no personal relationship between the mother and the prince. The fact that the prince can help his mother also shows that others are very kind, and after so many years, he has not become arrogant because of his prominent status. Momoko was moved to tears by her heartfelt words.
"Mother, our family of three must do our best to live up to the kindness of the prince, Fujin and Master Yun to us."
"Yes, my mother thinks so too."
Yun'er re-drew the embroidery patterns on the printed manuscript and the embroidery manuscript on the book according to the size of one to one, and then copied it onto the tensile sandwich rice paper, and handed over the carbon paper, ballpoint pen, paper clip and pattern to Fu Jin, and asked her to send it to the embroiderer to copy it herself. Fujin is not very relieved to hand over to young people, for fear that they will be rough and out of shape, and the original manuscript will be damaged, so it will be handed over to Mama Zheng and Mama Liu to copy the patterns.
Yun'er came to Yiran Tower again, her eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly said to Fujin, and hurriedly went downstairs to pick it up. asked Yun'er for peace, took the burden in Yu'er's hand, and secretly pinched it a few times, but he didn't guess what it was. Yu'er smiled: "Did Sister Fu'er find out what it was?" ā
The mustache also laughed: "Just your sharp eyes, people haven't made a name for a long time." Good sister, tell your sister what it is? ā
The fish didn't say anything, just laughed. The beard and the water set are close: "Sister Shui'er told my sister? What's the matter, you also served in the Fujin room, my sister used to have a place where I couldn't live with you, so you forgave my sister. ā
Shui'er laughed: "Look at what Sister Tou'er said? I still remember how sooner or later. It's not that Shui Er won't tell you, it's really hard to say. ā
"That's weird, there's still something bad to say about Master Yun's things? Master Yun, will you tell you? The Lady of the Decree also took her own name.
Yun'er smiled: "This thing is not good, open it outside." Let's go to the Fujin room and take a look. ā
"It's weird." Puzzled, she took Yun'er's master and servant upstairs.
After saying goodbye, Fu Jin smiled and asked, "What good things did my sister bring today?" Open it up and take a look? ā
"Then please ask the nephew and daughter-in-law to come, the nephew and daughter-in-law are the most anxious." Yun'er smiled at Yan'er.
"Yes! This is the ...... Yo, what is this? It's strange to pinch the soft sac. The mustache seriously picked up something with a strap and two bulges, tilted his head and looked at it carefully.
Yun'er smiled and bent over: "Haven't you seen what it is?" Our prince can see it. It is said that it is a horse manure, but it is smaller, and each depression can only hold three or four horse manure eggs. Aha......"
Fu Jin also smiled, picked up another one, looked at it seriously for a long time, and said, "Horse manure is a little smaller, and you don't need to be so exquisite?" Do you still use embroidery? ā
Yun'er smiled and clutched her stomach: "My mother, everyone is a woman, so you can't see it?" ā
Mama Zheng said bluntly: "The slave can see it, it's a ****!" ā
There was a burst of laughter.
"Yo! My sister didn't think about it! The prince said that this is horse manure? Aha......"
The laughter rang out for a long time before it stopped, and Yun'er said: "This is called a bra, which is the use that Mama Zheng said, this thing for women is very delicate, and she is very afraid of touching it, if there is an accidental impact, it will be very painful and easy to get sick." Therefore, it is still beneficial to protect it with a bra, and secondly, it can also play an aesthetic role. After the age of fifty, the **** begins to sag, some women have more children, and they are breastfeeding in person, so they become like oil bottles, if you use this bra, it will be convenient, at least walking is not in the way, and there is no problem when running. And then there is this layer of sponge, a little touch will not hurt, it looks very solid, and the person looks young. Yun'er can't wear it now, these two pieces of meat are useful. Fujin's body size is almost the same as wearing a medium-sized one, Sister Yu'er, you pick a medium-sized one for Fujin, and if you are comfortable, you can change it immediately. ā
Fu Jin nodded again and again: "It's a good thing!" My sister gave birth to Xue'er and breastfed herself, so she felt that the two pieces of meat on her chest were a little slumped, and it would be much better with this. ā
"Yun'er sent this to you, let Mama Zheng serve you and wear it."
"She didn't wear it again, so it's better for you to help my sister."
"Don't you betray Yun'er?"
"Hey, what's the back? How old are your sisters? We are still a woman with a husband. ā
Yun'er and Fujin went to the inner room and put on the bra that Yu'er brought to Fujin, which was just right.
"How? Lebula panicked? Can't be strangled, it's not good to be too loose, Yun'er has brought several models, and they must be comfortable to wear. ā
"Very comfortable! My sister uses this, thank you sister, I think about my sister in everything. ā
"You're out again! In this way, you wear it for a day first, and if you feel uncomfortable, quickly tell Sister Wei'er and them to find Yun'er, do you say that this thing can be sold in our Daqing? ā
Fu Jin put on his coat under Yun'er's service, pulled Yun'er to sit down and said: "It should be able to be sold, like what the prince said, what concept is different, I am afraid that such a thing will not be sold publicly, there will definitely be people who say that it is a strange costume, if it is worn by a woman from a relative's house, everyone thinks it is good, not only comfortable but also good for the body, it will be spread out, and I quietly bought it and wore it at home." ā
"You're right, Yun'er is also worried that he can't sell it publicly, don't make trouble for the prince, it's bad to say that he has bad morals. Yun'er bought a few boxes of samples, and they came back to try them on for the women in the house, if everyone likes it, Yun'er still has materials for bras, and it is not difficult to make them. The small vest made of stretch cloth used to do a little bit of a good job, but it wasn't as good as this one. Just use that stretch cloth with a little cotton, sponge, and a little lace on the outside to make a beautiful bra. ā
"yes, yes, this one you gave my sister looks good, with lace on it. In this way, after you go back, you will find some materials, and my sister and a few grandmothers in the room will learn to make it, and the bra made will be worn by every woman in the house, so that everyone can feel and feel, how about it? ā
"That's great, Yun'er is very grateful for your great support." Yun'er gave Fu Jin a salute.
"Sister, don't buy it! My sister deserves to support it. Master's mission to the prince is for everyone to work together to complete it, and my sister has no ability, that is, she will help you in manpower. ā
"Fujin, you not only helped the prince and Yun'er in manpower, Yun'er's gratitude is from the heart." He said and gave another salute.
"Oh sister, don't be so outrageous! My sister has always had one thing that I don't understand, why don't you call me sister? ā
"Fujin! Yun'er has always treated you as a mother! Although it doesn't conform to the etiquette law, it's not the age gap, it's just that your personality makes Yun'er very respectful! Take the current business of making cloth art as an example, what you are doing is to open the way for Yun'er to sound the gong and establish prestige for Yun'er. ā
Suddenly, Fu Jin's eyes were full of tears, she pulled Yun'er, hugged her tightly, choked and said, "Those who know me, my sister too." Although there is a huge age difference between us, you are also the prince's woman, and you are the same generation as your sister. You can be so considerate sister, sister is content! Call me sister, okay? ā
"Sister!" Yun'er hugged Fujin and burst into tears.
It took a long time for the two of them to calm down, and Yun'er said, "Yun'er will give you another one to wear, you have to wash and change." ā
"Okay, okay, you girl is thinking more and more thoughtfully, my sister will be ashamed, let's go out."
Bras cannot be sold publicly, nor can they be hung out publicly. The social form of the Qing Dynasty was still a feudal society, which could not be compared with foreign lands. But this thing must be popular with women, and this test sale task of selling bras is handed over to the Commander's wife. In her circle, she came into contact with noble ladies, young grandmothers, and daughters, and she liked the bra with lace at first sight. The bras in the hands of the wife of the big shopkeeper of this "underground sales" have always been in short supply. But this kind of thing really can't be sold in large quantities, and only those who the Commander's wife thinks are credible sell it to her.
The commander's wife has a lot of girlfriends, and they are quietly helping her sell the goods in the house. The commander's wife is open and generous, and whoever helps her sell goods, she will give one percent of the profit to this person, and she will not deduct it at all. For this reason, the reputation of the commander's wife is getting better and better, and she is about to become a chivalrous heroine. (To be continued.) )
