Song looked at the dresses painted vividly on the paper, each one was delicate and gorgeous, she liked it at a glance just to promote Jinyifang, and in her heart, Meng Xiaoran's advantages were added, talented.

"Xiaoran, these clothes are very beautiful, I like them all, you can just choose a few pieces to make for me, you don't have to change them, they all look good."

Meng Xiaoran nodded, and asked again: "Auntie, then do you have any favorite patterns and colors, I will prepare them for you." ”

Song smiled and said: "You see I'm this age, the color is too bright, it's definitely not good, just be plain and elegant, I have always loved plum blossoms, and I choose plum blossoms for the pattern, but the color may be lighter, not too bright." ”

"Okay, Auntie, I've written it down, and I'll have someone send it over when the clothes are ready." Meng Xiaoran wrote down all the requirements put forward by the Song family in the notebook, and then put them away.

Song shook his head, "Why do you want to send it, if I have time, I will often come to see you, and when you are ready, you can send someone to inform you, and I will come and pick it up by the way." ”

Meng Xiaoran smiled and didn't speak, Song patted her hand and said, "It's not early, I should go back too, don't be tired of yourself, pay attention to rest, you know?" ”

"Okay, aunt, thank you for your concern, Xiaoran remembers." Meng Xiaoran sent Song outside the door, and saw her get into the carriage and leave before returning to the courtyard.

Meng Xiaoran knew that Song's clothes must be done well, this was an excellent opportunity for publicity, the banquet she was invited to was either rich or expensive, as long as those noble ladies took a fancy to it, their brocade shop would not worry about business.

She walked back to the house, looked at the ten drawings she had drawn, and after thinking about it, she made up her mind, she wanted to call Nishang to come over, and when she walked to the door, she found the cuckoo and the lily sisters standing outside the door, and then she remembered that now she has a maid who can be called, she sighed, she is really getting more and more accustomed to this strict hierarchy in ancient times, who makes her a vested interest?

"Cuckoo, you go and call Ni Dress, I have something to discuss with her."

"Yes." Du Juan nodded in response, and immediately turned around and went to the kitchen, at this time Nishang was preparing lunch in the kitchen, Meng Xiaoran thought in his heart, if Nishang can really learn to design clothes in the future, maybe this family will have to find a cook to come over.

After Nishang came in, Meng Xiaoran said to her: "Nishang, Aunt Shen's clothes this time are very important, we have to make them ourselves, you accompany me to Jinyifang this afternoon, let's pick up a few pieces of cloth and come back." ”

Nishang nodded, "Well, girl, don't worry, I will do it well, my embroidery work is good, and the embroidery will be handed over to me when the time comes, to ensure that it is no worse than the embroidery girl in our store." ”

Meng Xiaoran smiled, "Naturally, I will hand it over to you, I can't, you have recently learned to draw sketches, what have you gained?" ”

Nishang nodded when she heard this, "Girl, I don't think it's difficult to draw these artworks, the difficult thing is how to come up with different styles, I've been thinking about it all the time these days, and sometimes I'll come up with some, but it's not as good as the ones you draw, girl." ”

Meng Xiaoran was a little surprised when she heard this, in just a few days, Ni Shang had such progress, which showed her talent, "You go and show me the ones you painted." ”

Nishang nodded, and after a while, she came over with a stack of drawings, her face was still a little shy, "Girl, I can't draw well, don't laugh at me." ”

"Don't worry, I won't laugh at you." Meng Xiaoran took the artwork and looked at it, nodding from time to time, although the style inside is not particularly exquisite, but it can also be seen that there are some unique features, but she has such a result in a few days, which is already very good, "Nishang, I should praise you, you can draw such a sketch in just a few days, it's already rare, take your time, I believe you will be able to stand alone soon." ”

"Really?" Nishang was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, "Girl, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"What am I lying to you for? In the future, once you draw a new drawing, send it to me to see, and when I think you can, I will let you draw the sketch of our Jinyifang. ”

"Okay, Nishang knows, thank you girl!" Nishang was really moved, Meng Xiaoran not only saved her life and gave her a chance to be reborn, but now she also taught her such skills, she knew that the kindness she owed would not be repaid in this life, so she could only do things well and repay them.

After lunch, Meng Xiaoran took Ni Shang to Jinyifang, because the road was not close, they rented a carriage, and when the time came, they could bring the cloth back, Du Juan and Lily were not worried that Meng Xiaoran would go out alone, so they insisted on following, and finally Meng Xiaoran had no choice, so he had to bring Lily, and let Du Juan stay to watch Aunt Hu and watch the house by the way.

Considering Song's age, Meng Xiaoran knew that Ruan Yanluo, who she loved to wear, was not suitable for Song, so she set her sights on the best silk, and finally selected the latest brocade shipped from Jiangnan.

Because Meng Xiaoran planned to give Song six of the ten drawings she had just drawn this time, she had to draw a group of these six women's drawings to ensure the next day's order, so that she could make clothes with peace of mind.

After Meng Xiaoran was busy, the two started sewing together, Song's six dresses, Meng Xiaoran spent a lot of effort, just thinking about the color matching for a long time, and then the tailoring, but also very careful, Nishang has been watching from the side, writing down carefully.

After the two of them sewed all six dresses, it was already a few days later, and then the most important embroidery link was the most important part, Meng Xiaoran thought about the clothes for a long time, because Song's identity was special, and too simple patterns could not suppress her identity, so she could only try to be as complicated as possible.

On a black skirt, Meng Xiaoran had a cluster of red plums embroidered around the corners of the skirt, while the pale cyan blouse was embroidered with silver thread around the wide cuffs with many silver-white plum blossoms that extended to the arms.

The Song family came to see Meng Xiaoran from time to time these days to send some soup and pastries, but she never heard her talk about the good clothes, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, thinking about how to do a few clothes these days or not done?

Ten days later, Meng Xiaoran took Du Juan and Lily to the Shen Mansion in Yangchun Lane in the carriage, Song was a little surprised when she heard the report, and then immediately glanced at Shen Qian who was sitting on the side, and saw that there was obvious excitement on his always expressionless face, and she shook her head helplessly.

"Qian'er, I'm going to receive female guests, you better avoid it." Shen Qian looked at his mother with some surprise, he wanted to see Meng Xiaoran countless times in the past ten days, but she stopped him, and now that Meng Xiaoran came to visit, why did she have to avoid herself?

Song Shi received his son's questioning eyes, and said with some amusement: "I didn't say I wanted you to go, go and hide behind the screen for a while, you can look at it however you want, just don't let Xiaoran see you." ”

Shen Qian smiled at this time, "Mother, I'll go behind the screen." So saying, he got up and walked to the screen and sat down.

After a while, the maid led Meng Xiaoran over, followed by six girls, each holding a tray in his hand, all covered with black silk cloth.

The six girls lined up and stood up, and Meng Xiaoran stepped forward to bless the Song family, "Xiaoran to see my aunt." ”

Song immediately stepped forward and took her hand affectionately and pulled her up, "Xiaoran, how many times have I told you, don't see your aunt like this, why are you still disobedient?" ”

Meng Xiaoran just smiled and didn't answer, and then pointed to the trays and said, "Auntie, your clothes are ready, I sent them to you, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Look, of course I want to see it!" Song had long been curious about what the clothes that had been done for more than ten days should look like.

Meng Xiaoran nodded at Du Juan and Lily, and the two of them stepped forward, opened one of the trays, and picked up the neatly folded clothes on it, one of them held a smock, and the other held a skirt and unfolded it, and Song was stunned when he saw the dress in front of him.

She couldn't help but step forward and touched the pattern on it, this set is a light blue blouse with a lotus pink skirt, the skirt is different from the common style, the right side is cut into irregular lace from top to bottom and hangs down to the feet, Song pulled up the lace to see, and found that the inside was sewn, this lace is like a decoration, very unique.

The most special thing is that the red plum blossoms on the foot of this skirt are like real flowers, Song reached out and touched it, and found that these red plums were actually made of red Ruan Yanluo and sewn on, looking at it from a distance, it looks like the real thing.

"It's a pretty good job." Song couldn't help but sigh.

Because the skirt was fancy, Meng Xiaoran did not make much decoration on the blouse, and the neckline was specially trimmed with black satin, and a few plum blossoms were embroidered with gold thread, which was both luxurious and dignified.

"Auntie, why don't you try it?" In fact, you can't see the effect of this dress, and you can more clearly appreciate the beauty of the red plum sewn by the hand after wearing it.

The Song family already loves beauty, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of the juniors, she would have wanted to change it a long time ago, but now Meng Xiaoran said this to her liking, and immediately took the personal maid to the inner room.

After a while, Song came out again, and the maids who were waiting on the side saw her and let out a low exclamation, Song walked slowly, and the red plum on the skirt seemed to fly between actions, like petals falling with the wind on the skirt, which was extremely beautiful.

The agility of the skirt and the nobility of the smock highlighted the beauty and nobility of the Song family to the fullest, and Meng Xiaoran looked at the joy in Song's eyes and knew that his efforts for so many days were worth it.

"Auntie, I gave this dress a name, it's called Red Plum Dance." Meng Xiaoran said to the Song family with a smile, and when the Song family heard it, he pondered the name repeatedly, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, this name is good, it is very vivid." ”
