Chapter Twenty-Five: The Tailor's Shop, Teach the Rich Lady a Lesson
Liu Ruxue carried a basket with embroidery on her back and walked towards the tailor's shop. Along the way, I occasionally met a few strange eyes, after all, she was a widow, and there were always some good deeds, and she said some gossip behind the boredom of idleness. In addition, Liu Ruxue is as beautiful as a flower, which has made some people covet it for a long time.
1. Tailor shop
The owners of several tailor shops on the street all know Liu Ruxue, Miss Liu's embroidery is finely handmade, the pattern is exquisite, and it is used on clothes, and the grade is immediately improved a lot, and it is the favorite and sought-after clothing of dignitaries. However, Liu Ruxue's favorite place to go is the old tailor shop of the Yang family on the street corner, the owner of the shop is an old tailor, he is honest, he will not steal and play tricks, all Liu girls go every time, they don't have to worry about the price.
"Miss Liu, I'm a little late today," said the old tailor Yang
"Well, yes, it's almost autumn, and I've collected the vegetables in the courtyard at home," said Miss Liu
"I didn't bring much embroidery today," said the old tailor, looking at the embroidery patterns in the basket
"It's been a busy month, so I don't have much time to embroider," says Ms. Liu
"But your embroidery skills have gone to a new level, this workmanship is more delicate than the previous one, and the color of the thread is also very beautiful", the old man stroked the embroidery and said seriously
"Oh, don't praise me, old man, it's just some rough manual work that women often do," said Miss Liu
"No, no, no, you are modest, the flowers, birds, insects and fish embroidered on you here are lifelike, the color is bright, and it must be of the highest quality when used on clothes", the old man muttered to himself
"How did the embroidery work last time in clothes?" Liu Ruxue said
"The mandarin duck playing in the water you made last time was bought by the county lady, and his son got married, and it happened to be made into the clothes of the bride and groom, which is very good-looking," the old man said
"That's good, I'm still worried that no one will buy it, mandarin ducks playing in the water, after all, it is not a dress that can be worn by an everyday person, and it can only be worn on the occasion of newlyweds and birthdays", Liu Ruxue said, when I did that embroidery, it was also my own whim, and I followed the pattern embroidered by feeling, as for why, I don't know, anyway, the feeling is coming, then embroider.
"Haha, Miss Liu, you can rest assured to embroider, as long as it is a high-grade embroidery, in my place, I am not afraid of uselessness, and the matter of matching clothes will be handed over to the old man", the tailor Yang said proudly
"With your words, I am relieved", Liu Ruxue said modestly
"It's not early today, I'll go back first, the dishes at home are still soaking in water", Liu Ruxue said, it's getting dark, and there is still someone sitting outside at home, so you can't tell the old man that there is still a sick number at home.
"Okay, you see I just talk, give you the money for this embroidery, this workmanship is very exquisite, this time it's 1 tael of silver", the old man said, the last time the pattern of the mandarin duck playing in the water, brought himself an income of ten taels of silver, Miss Liu's embroidery is definitely worth the price.
Liu Ruxue didn't speak, took the silver and turned around and wanted to leave, but was called back by the old man. Because Miss Liu's embroidery is fine, it is very popular in the circle of the rich, and several rich daughters specially came to customize clothes, which accounted for a large proportion, so the old man asked Miss Liu to customize some patterns to match the clothes he made.
"What's wrong, Master Yang? Anything else? Liu Ruxue asked suspiciously
"That's right, I have a few sets of clothes here, you need to embroider a few embroidery patterns to match, these sets of clothes are still very important for the small shop," said the old man
"Yes, no problem, you say," Liu Ruxue said
The old man described to Miss Liu the embroidery patterns that the rich ladies wanted, and they wanted to use the slim lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond as materials, and also embroider the peach blossoms that were about to bloom, so as to give people a feeling of cleanliness and elegance.
2. Meet a rich girl
The hit pattern described by the old man is not difficult for Liu Ruxue, there are a few peach trees in his small yard, and there is also a small pond with a few lotus leaves. The effect that the old man wanted, Liu Ruxue instantly had a prototype in her mind, and if she thought about it, she would definitely be able to embroider a beautiful picture.
"Okay, I probably know what kind of pattern they want", Liu Ruxue wanted to leave after speaking
Just as he was about to go out, a group of people came to the tailor shop, and a few maids walked in with a little girl in their arms. At first glance, it is the rich daughter of a family, otherwise there will not be such a big pomp, and a few maids are needed to serve.
But this little girl is well-read and reasonable, and she doesn't have the kind of problems that a rich lady has. But a few maids around me were menacing and noisy.
"Old man Yang, have you started to make the clothes that my young lady wanted?" A girl asked loudly
"Oh, my aunt, I said it would take at least half a month, and you've only been here for a few days, so I'll come and urge," the old man said helplessly
"This dress is very important to our young lady," said the girl
"Abi, don't be rude to Master Yang, Master Yang, you don't have to worry, we just came over to have a look", the little girl said
"It's still Miss Empathetic, Miss Liu introduced you, this is the fourth lady of the vest, and the embroidery of the lotus flower just now is custom-made by this young lady", Old Man Yang said with a smile
Liu Ruxue looked at the fourth lady of the Ma family, and smiled faintly at the little girl to say hello politely. Liu Ruxue is quite disgusted with the maid next to Miss, and she looks like a fox and a fake tiger, which makes people look very uncomfortable.
"This is our young lady, why don't you say hello" The girl named Abi called out to Liu Ruxue
"Do you have to say hello?" Liu Ruxue asked rhetorically
"You ......," Abi said, pointing at Liu Ruxue
"What's wrong with me? Questions? You don't have any young ladies, how many things do you do as a maid? I don't understand the rules at all. Liu Ruxue said
"Who do you think doesn't have rules? This is the fourth lady of the Ma family," Abi said
"I know, what's wrong with the fourth miss of the Ma family? Could it be that the rule of the Ma family is to let you subordinates come out and be arrogant? Liu Ruxue said lightly, Miss Liu has a special dislike for this kind of person, the old lady doesn't eat you, don't drink yours, your family's wealth has a woolen relationship with the old lady.
"You're too presumptuous," Abi called
"Okay, Abi, you don't say a few words, I'm sorry, Sister Liu, my maids have caused you trouble, don't be surprised, they are usually spoiled by their grandmothers", said the fourth miss of the Ma family
"Learn from your young lady, and then look at you, you will only smear your young lady's face in the future", Liu Ruxue said
The old man Yang of the tailor shop looked at the group of women in front of him, and spoke in a weird manner, and he didn't dare to provoke. One is an embroidery master in his own shop, the other is his own customer, and he is also a rich lady who can't be messed with, it is troublesome to help anyone talk, and the smartest way is to keep silent......
