Chapter 123: Sewing a jacket for the king
Brother Yu can finally rest assured.
But fortunately, Yun Yichen has been busy training the soldiers with Wei Qinian in the past two days, and he doesn't care very much about her, the little guard.
And because he has many attendants, he doesn't need Brother Yu to follow him, so Brother Yu's life is not very tiring.
In addition to practicing every day, he helps Yun Yichen's subordinates tidy up the barracks, make the beds for Wuying and Mo Nankai, go to Wei Qinian's barracks when he has time, and chat with Yang Qing, who no longer travels with Wei Qinian, for a while, and occasionally meet Wei Qinian, sit with Wei Qinian for a while and then go back, and the days are peaceful.
King Qi Nan was left in the big tent by Yun Yichen that day, and he didn't come here to find Brother Yu after drinking, and Wei Qinian said that King Qi Nan was helping the army practice a formation that could attack and retreat, and Yun Yichen was holding his troops at the moment in order to wait until the soldiers had almost finished practicing and were going to attack the Minhe estuary.
Therefore, they are very busy, and they are a little too busy to take care of her.
Seeing that autumn is about to pass, the weather is getting colder day by day.
Because of the long distance, only two cotton clothes were brought from Jinling.
And it's all hers.
Although the soldiers had cotton clothes to protect them from the cold, they looked very thin.
Brother Yu was very worried that his father and Uncle Yang would be frozen, so he took advantage of Yun Yichen and their busy practice of the soldiers' formations, and went to a nearby farmer with Yang Qing to buy some cotton and cloth, thinking that he would make a jacket for his father and Uncle Yang, and wear it to keep out the cold.
She learned how to sew clothes with Lan'er's mother in Luofeng Valley, because Lan'er's mother said that even if she was a monk at the moment, she would eventually change into a daughter, and she wouldn't be able to cook or other female workers at that time, but if she couldn't sew clothes by herself, she wouldn't even have anything to wear in the future, so she taught her some of the most basic cutting and sewing methods.
It's finally useful at the moment.
Sewed a jacket for his father, Uncle He Yang, to avoid the cold in winter.
Although the fabrics here are all spun by the farmers themselves, they are very rough and the color is very simple, and cotton is even more scarce, if Yang Qing didn't take out the silver, he wouldn't have been able to buy any cotton at all.
After coming back, Brother Yu took advantage of the gap between Wuying and Mo Nankai to follow Yun Yichen out and secretly took out the fabric. He began to design and tailor, making his first garment after leaving his mother.
Because it was the first time I did it, I was not very skilled, and I hadn't taken a needle and thread for a long time, so I had been figuring out how to cut and sew for the first few days.
Only then did I realize that the simplest jacket I originally thought of was not simple at the moment. At least she didn't know what to cut it into? Where to start was the biggest challenge she faced.
And she didn't know how to measure it yet. Even if she pulled Uncle Yang to look at his clothes and look at his size, she didn't know how to put together the edges and corners of the clothes!
For this reason, he secretly ran to Yun Yichen's room to take out the old jacket he was wearing now to measure and compare, and finally completely figured out how to get those things, and then began to officially cut and sew and mend them.
As a result, it was delayed for several days.
Until this day, she still took out the almost sewn jacket when Wuying and Mo Nankai were not in the tent, and all that was left was to put the cotton wool in the middle, sew both sides together, and the jacket for her father was finally completed!
Uncle Yang also has a little seam work left, and with a flick of cotton and a stitch, my father and Uncle Yang will not be cold this winter.
It's just that he didn't expect that because she was too quiet during this time, she also attracted Mo Nankai's attention, and felt that as a child who was only a teenager, it was a bit unreasonable for him to confine himself in the tent every day, so he returned to the camp early yesterday, and then secretly came to the tent and found that she was secretly sewing clothes inside.
At that time, I felt very curious, because a boy can actually thread a needle? It's really rare.
Just thinking about it, the monks in the temple may have to learn these skills from an early age, otherwise what should they do if their clothes are torn?
There's no way someone can mend their clothes, right?
He must have not changed his clothes like this, right? I saw him only wearing one piece of clothing for many days, maybe he really didn't have anything to wear, so he had to do it, right?
I must not want people to see that I am secretly sewing in the tent!
This little guy really surprised him! But as someone who doesn't have anyone to take care of, these things have to be taken care of by themselves, right? When I think of this, I feel relieved.
Yesterday, I saw that she was too involved and didn't come in to disturb her, but today I chatted with Yun Yichen in my spare time, such as the weather is cold, and when winter is about to arrive, I occasionally mentioned that Brother Yu's little master is secretly sewing clothes by herself, is she already cold at the moment?
Yun Yichen was immediately surprised, because he felt that the soldiers had their own things to protect them from the cold, why did she sew clothes by herself?
What's more, he was also very curious about how this little monk took needles and threads?
In addition to skill, apart from chess skills, what else does he not know?
Therefore, Yun Yichen immediately decided to go back and have a look, and told Wei Qinian that he had something to do when he went back, so he led Mo Nankai back to the tent without a shadow.
Quietly opened the curtain of the tent, and sure enough, I saw a person who was concentrating on being busy threading needles there.
I was really surprised!
In the past few days, in order to avoid him and King Qi Nan from meeting on the school field, he endured the idea of letting him follow him, and let him follow those miscellaneous servants in the big tent to do what he could, who knew that he was actually doing this kind of thing?
He seemed to be so engrossed that they didn't even notice a few of them snooping at the door. The truth made Yun Yichen puzzled.
Of course, there was also the same surprise as Wuying, because they were busy training soldiers all this time, and they came back late in the evening.
In order to sympathize with the young guards like him, the prince did not let him go to the windy and sunny school field with them, but he didn't expect him to do this kind of thing in the tent that only his daughter's family did?
Mo Nankai and Yun Yichen glanced at each other: "The prince is also surprised, isn't he?" Mo Nankai whispered.
Although he said it very quietly, it still alarmed Brother Yu, who had a keen hearing!
Fang Cai is too involved to ignore these unexpected people.
Until Mo Nankai spoke, she was immediately startled.
The eye of the needle in his hand poked into his finger at the right time, and then instinctively threw the needle and the jacket in his hand on the bed, and he stood next to the bed very smartly.
"When did Brother Yu learn to sew clothes? Show me what you sew? Yun Yichen saw his panicked appearance, felt his curiosity aroused, and walked in and asked.
Brother Yu was directly stunned and didn't know what to say.
This is what she sewed for her father with stitches and threads, and let him see it today, how should he explain it?
"Doctor Mo just said that you sew clothes in the tent, this king still doesn't believe it, today I saw it really opened my king's eyes, our Yu brother is really omnipotent! Even this kind of sewing and mending thing will be? Yun Yichen said, picking up the clothes that she had thrown away.
The cotton has been flipped and the buttons are being sewn, and if the buttons are sewn up, it will be a brand new jacket!
"Who did you sew it for? Apparently not for you to sew yourself! So big? You...... Isn't it a jacket sewn for this king? No wonder I ran into the king's tent every day in those days, either looking at the king's clothes or holding the king's jacket, and I was really measuring the size of the king's jacket? Brother Yu, you are really too hearty! Yun Yichen's words, Brother Yu directly wanted to vomit blood!
I really didn't expect this villain to arrange for someone to monitor his every move?
Hearing this, it was obvious that every time she went to his big tent while he was away, the little eunuch who followed behind her ass was a microphone, reporting her every move in the big tent to Yun Yichen.
Really...... I also regarded him as a person who was oppressed by Yun Yichen like myself, and secretly shared with him those delicious things that Uncle Yang sent to him!
I really didn't expect him to be Yun Yichen's eyes and ears left in the tent. Even she reported to him such a trivial matter as seeing him clasp his jacket!
Brother Yu didn't know what to say, so he had to continue to remain silent.
Because there's no way she can say it's for my father, you put it down for me!
"Oh? It really makes sense for the prince to say this, you see that this size is just right for the prince. Mo Nankai also said on the side.
"Sew a jacket for the prince? Brother Yu, who did you say you sewed clothes for? "Wuying knows the relationship between Brother Yu and Yun Yichen, and he will definitely not take the initiative to sew clothes for Yun Yichen, not to mention that Brother Yu's appearance is very awkward, obviously he doesn't want them to see his appearance at the moment. Maybe she has something to hide.
"Brother Yu sewed it for himself, because he didn't know the size, and it was bigger." In the end, Brother Yu was reluctant to give the jacket he had worked so hard to sew to Yun Yichen, so he had to blush and say a word.
"You sewed it for yourself? Don't you have any clothes to wear? Yun Yichen asked obviously a little disappointed.
"Oh, it's cold, I want to make a winter dress in advance, so that the prince can see it." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly snatched the jacket in Yun Yichen's hand, and then prepared to put it away.
It's just that no one expected Yun Yichen's instinctive reaction, seeing that Brother Yu snatched the clothes in his hand and wanted to put them away, he didn't think about it, so he dragged it over and put it on himself: "Since you can sew clothes, this one is so big, you can't hold it up even in winter, it just so happens that the king's jacket is old, and it is very thin, this one will be given to the king, you can make another one for yourself, the king will give you silver and give you time, you can make several pieces for yourself, that is, this dress is worn by the king." After saying that, he had put it on himself.
