Chapter 652: Various Costumes (2)
The clothes of the Han girls and daughters-in-law are also quite exquisite, and the women's clothes are embroidered with a little computer effect of small flowers, which does not change the characteristics of any Qing Dynasty clothing, but also adds some fresh content. The women of that era were very sensitive to the quality of embroidery www.biquge.info where had they seen such a three-dimensional, lively, and dense embroidery? I also bought this dress for the little flower on the placket.
Women's clothing decorated with lace, embroidery, crochet and embossing is a favorite of women. That lace is so beautiful! There are those that are connected together, and there are also individual flowers arranged in order, and the lace and tooth hem of the cuffs and neckline are matched and unified in style. The big girl and the little daughter-in-law lingered around the clothing model, and the sound of selection, screaming, and hearing the news came and went, and some people even wanted to buy the clothing model.
A woman's vision is meticulous, and many of the female customers have pointed out that the stitches of the garments of the Yulong Trading House are very strange, and no matter how good the work is, it is impossible for a woman to have such craftsmanship. Moreover, the stitches inside and outside are the same, and I am very interested and want to learn. They were close to the men in the trading houses, and they talked to them. It's a pity that not all the people in the house have seen the sewing machine, let alone the guys in the trading house. They asked Shopkeeper Zhou again, and Shopkeeper Zhou replied very cleverly: "Ladies and ladies, we are just selling goods, how do we know what people do?" I'm really sorry for you. ”
The clothing of the Jade Dragon Trading House became the talk of the capital's eunuchs and wealthy families. In ancient times, women did not have jobs, and of course they were supported by their husbands when they married. In that era, it was also logical, since it was raised by the husband, the waist pole was not so hard, and many people worked the top of the dress and dress, and the beauty could please the husband. Although there are no televisions and billboards on the streets, the speed of human-to-human transmission is fast enough. The clothing of the Jade Dragon Trading House is patronized by more and more people, even if you don't buy it, you can see if the legend is consistent with the real one, and learn from other people's new styles. Although they are all Qing Dynasty clothes, they are not all the same. The clothing of Yulong Commercial House has become a trend-setting leader, even if you don't buy clothes, you can go back and make them yourself. The style can be copied, but all kinds of lace are not. The wives and ladies of these eunuchs are not only the main force in buying clothing, but also the big customers of jewelry and daily necessities. Even if you don't buy it, you can see it fresh, and there is a conversation between each other, so that the news has spread to all corners of the capital. Almost everyone from wealthy families bought their favorite exotic goods, and even women from poor families came to see if there were suitable goods to marry their relatives and daughters.
Among the costumes designed by Fujin, some of them are the Qing Dynasty clothing styles brought back by Yun'er from the Kangxi Dynasty to the Qianlong period, although they are ahead of their time, but they have not yet left the trap of Qing clothing, which is acceptable to Qing Dynasty women. Among them, the clothes, cheongsam, short clothes, etc., borrowed from the styles of aristocratic women in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods.
It can be learned from the records of the "Great Qing Huidian" and the "Great Qing Tongli" that the daily clothing of women in the Great Qing Dynasty had strict regulations and were restricted by law. Fortunately, it is not bound by grades, so there are more types of women's clothing than women's clothing, and it is much more casual to take it. It is only strictly restricted to slaves, excellent lings, and soaps, and it is not allowed to use silk, silk, yarn, silk, satin, luo and other high-grade raw materials to make clothes, nor is it allowed to use fine leather, fine wool and stone blue raw materials to make clothes, and it is not allowed to use precious ornaments such as beads, emeralds, gold, silver, and precious stones, and only low-grade raw materials with coarser textures such as arrowroot cloth, shuttle cloth, wool brown, raccoon dog skin, and sheepskin. People's clothes and makeup are not easily changed, and "fancy clothes" are not allowed to exist. Therefore, Fujin will never go to the "minefield" when designing clothing.
Yun'er's information describes that aristocratic women in the Kangxi period used to wear a brown robe with a black collar and a golden pattern or a piece of gold pattern, plus a light green gown with black trim and gold embroidery. There are also light yellow shirts with pink trim for women in the Qianlong period, covered with black cloud head vests. The skirt or trouser leg is inlaid with black embroidered balustrades, and there is also a vermilion garment, and the sleeves are trimmed with white satin balustrades; There are also collarless royal blue gowns with black trims, a string of incense cards hanging on the placket, and small objects such as hour watches, toothpicks, and incense strings hanging on the buttons. Others have orange straps on the outside of their clothes, which hang down on both sides of the waist and hips, and are flush with the shirt. The end of the strap is embroidered. Some wore white gauze sweatshirts, black pants, red belts, and red belly pockets......
The decorations that Yun'er brought back were enough for Fujin to design clothes. Coupled with the help of the sewing machine, it is like a tiger with wings.
It belongs to the court costume Fu Jin does not get involved at all, for example, the clothing of the queen mother, the queen, and the concubines, that is, the formal official clothing, will not touch a little.
The clothes sold in Ruiqian's store have roughly a few specifications, and they are worn on the plastic models that Yun'er bought back, and they stand in a row in the trading house. People who buy clothes only need to compare their height and fat with models to know how big the clothes they should buy. There are also specially processed clothes that are extra fat, very thin, and very tall. Fortunately, there is a sewing machine in the house, and you can do whatever you want. After the samples were sold, Fu Jin had a good idea of what kind of clothes would be the most popular. After redesigning and processing the samples, Fushang began to produce ready-to-wear garments in large quantities. There are those who are specifically responsible for cutting and measuring the size of the fabric, those who are specifically responsible for each sewing process, and those who are specially responsible for the buckles, sewing buttons, edges, and trouser legs, each performing its own duties and responsibilities.
There are many styles of clothes, but they are all specific styles of the Qing Dynasty, and the quality far exceeds that of the Qing Dynasty. The price is not very high, it is within the range that ordinary people can afford, so a hundred pieces of women's clothing are hung on a hanger or worn on the model's body, and the chime is declared clean in one morning, it seems that the road is on the right track, so continue. It is also necessary to develop new products and new styles, including brocade materials, cotton cloth, and indeed good silk and yarn, and occasionally cotton clothes and shrouds. What's even more brilliant is the several sets of bridal outfits made by Yun'er. It is more exquisite than the one Gu Ruyi bought. From the dirty clothes inside to the bridal clothes outside, jewelry, red hijabs, flower-pot shoes, and gauze handkerchiefs, they are all packed in a finely framed brocade box and tied with ribbons, which is very beautiful and noble! Listed for trial sale, it was sold out before it even arrived at an hour! Nothing else just keep doing it! Not only the bride's outfit but also the groom's outfit, even the groom's waist. For example, the production of sachets, purses, and handbags; wear necklaces, bracelets, step shakes, hairpins; Wear pearl bags, braided rope bags, and small animals; embroidery, cross-stitch, ribbon embroidery, lock embroidery, silk screen flowers; Embossing, embroidery, lace, straw, paste, frame, cooking, etc., etc., no one is idle! When she started to learn art, Yun'er still thought, can so many people use it when they are learning?
Now it seems that there are too few people.
Only some of the girls in the house participated in the production of clothing, and there were other girls and grandmothers who were assigned to other handicraft production positions by the head of the field. For example, sachets, purses, handbags; For example, wishful knots, beads, silk screen flowers, such as embroidery, cross-stitch, ribbon embroidery, such as embossing, crochet flowers; For example, framed calligraphy and paintings, paste brocade boxes; For example, straw weaving, shell painting...... All the girls are smiling and busy.
With the emergence of orders from various mansions, and the number is increasing, all the girls and grandmothers in the mansion are involved in the processing of fabrics. Not only small pieces of fabric such as sachets, purses, handbags, but also clothing and crochet products, each in the quantity of several hundred. Tian Liang came up with an idea for Fujin, numbered each sample garment, and the orderer chose the clothing he liked, just say a number. Don't describe what kind of clothes you look like, that will mess up people's minds. You can say what number it is. But you have to verify it in advance, and don't disagree with it at that time. And then I'll process it for you according to the number you said.
This garment is somewhat wholesale in nature. If you buy a 300 piece or 500 pieces, and it is processed by a sewing machine, you can enjoy the wholesale price. Knowing that he bought it back and sold it, he couldn't help but let go.
"Hey! Let's let it, let it go! Here comes the big buyer! A young man opened the way, followed by several Westerners with high noses and blue eyes. A tall, thin, long-nosed Westerner shouted in stiff Chinese: "Shopkeeper! Where is your treasurer? There was a lot of laughter.
Chen Ruiqian came over with a smile: "This gentleman, what do you want to buy?" ”
"I want to order! Thousands of pieces to decide! And the kind of princess dress with lace, child, and decoration! It seems that this foreigner can't pronounce "er" well. However, it is not easy for him to express the meaning in Chinese.
"Sir, don't worry, please don't be impatient."
"I've drunk coffee, it's not dry!" The foreigner misunderstood, and was laughed at again.
"Sir, what I mean below is that you don't have to worry, we will discuss what you said slowly."
"You people in the Qing Dynasty have never been in a hurry to do things, I can't wait! I'm going to be back to Europe by ship in a month, and I want to order! ”
The whole state of euphoria is in a state of urgency.
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to do it stitch by stitch? How about sitting down and talking? ”
"Okay, okay, sir, what's your surname?"
"Your surname is Chen, what do you call Mr.? What country is it from? ”
"Oh, I'm Taylor, an Irish merchant. I saw your princess dress decorated with lace in your store, I like it so much, I am so happy! You know, our country is richer than you, and the girls and ladies are the most particular about dressing, and if their skirts have your beautiful lace, it will be extremely beautiful! ”
Chen Ruiqian couldn't help laughing and said, "The relatives you want can do it, but you have to discuss it with her." Ask her if she has that kind of fabric and lace. Is that good? You come tomorrow, I reply to you, and then negotiate the price? ”
"Nope! No, no! I didn't have time to negotiate with you, so you said yes or no? ”
"No, you can't! There must be a process for everything, and there must be a process of preparation for others. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry, but I heard that your trading house is for your emperor, haven't you prepared a large amount of goods?"
"I also say I'm sorry, you don't care who opened the firm, everything must have time and process!"
"Alright then, please talk to your emperor as soon as possible."
"You are wrong, our emperor will not be degraded to talk about business, you can just wait for the next news."
Yun'er and Shui'er wore men's clothes, accompanied by Tian Liang and Nalan, and went to Yulong Buzhuang to see the situation and listen to the opinions and suggestions of customers: "Why don't you come a little earlier?" An Irishman was in a hurry to order a princess dress. I told him to come tomorrow and wait for news. ”
"This is good news, the orders are all in large quantities, you didn't tell him the price, right?"
"Where does the eldest brother dare to be the master? Tomorrow, it's better to have our translator, in case he doesn't know what to say, let the translator translate, I can't trust their translation, I'm afraid he will make trouble from it. ”
"That's what you're saying, but where can Yun'er find a ready-made translator? Ah, isn't this Prince Xian? Prince Xian auspicious! How do you have time to visit a store? ”
"Auntie auspicious! Isn't my nephew accompanying Miss Ma? ”
"Are you accompanying Miss Mingyue? You guys? How many people do you know? ”
Miss Ma lowered her head shyly and blushed. Prince Xian was generous: "You don't know that we will enter the cave room." My nephew likes Miss Ma very much, and he has been hired, and next month he will be his nephew's side Fujin. ”
Yun'er arched her hand and smiled: "Congratulations!" Congratulations to both of you for tying the knot! Feel free to do whatever you want. ”
"Auntie's dress is really a beautiful young man."
"What a beautiful boy, I think it's so convenient to come out. If you talk nonsense, I'll tell your second uncle. ”
"Don't bargain! If only the second uncle knew. I don't know how many big bags are going to be beaten out of Fu Shou's head? You are also free. ”
Miss Ma spoke: "Chen Fujin seems to have said something about translation, if you don't dislike it, Mingyue can help you." ”
"Really? That's great! I didn't know if you could speak a foreign language, but now it's good! Can you come here tomorrow? ”
"Yes, you can."
"Hey, I'll tell you the moon girl, how can you talk to the old Maozi? When did you learn it? Isn't that a small skill? Prince Xian gave Lei arrived, tilting his head to look at Mingyue.
"I learned it when I was a kid. It's useless to learn it, it's almost forgotten. ”
Yun'er understands that Miss Ma has learned in her previous life and still retains this memory.
Yun'er understood what was going on with Ma Mingyue's situation, but Ma Mingyue was very confused about many things in the house. The things sold in the shop in the house were all from the world in her previous life, and she knew this best. Including those fabrics and handicrafts, they are all things from the world she once had. But she would never dare to ask, and if she did, it would prove that she knew where these things came from, and she was also an outlier. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty would not allow the existence of aliens. But what she didn't understand was how the emperor could approve of these things so naturally? After asking my father, Lord Yushi, Lord Yushi said, "I'm still confused, I don't understand where the prince got it back." ”
Except for the three princes, Ma Mingyue also knew where these things came from. She didn't think that the prince was a traverser, nor did she think that the lady of the steward was a traverser, so she recognized that the current Xiaoyao Wang Fujin Chen was a traversing person, because she was too familiar with those skills in foreign lands. Even the way of painting is the way of painting. (To be continued.) )
