It didn't take Xie Mulin two days to make a thick cotton shirt from that extremely simple paper plate, which is just right to wear this season, as long as it is paired with a half-sleeved armor.

Even for the half-sleeved armor, Xie Mulin will also use this set of paper plates, and only need to adjust the size when cutting.

It may not be appropriate to make a large coat, but for a general home-style top, this set of paper plates is enough. She takes care to leave room when making patterns, so the clothes she makes fit well and don't look cramped.

She told her family about this method, and Wen praised it. In this way, the clothes not only fit, but also save cloth, and for girls who have just learned tailoring, it is less likely to make mistakes.

Xie Yingfen learned it immediately, and according to this method, she cut a single shirt for herself, although because the stitches are not very good-looking, she only dares to keep it for sleeping, but she still feels beautiful. Among the little girls in the class, before she could make a one-piece single skirt, she learned to make a single shirt first, and she was the first one.

Because she wanted to show off too much, after Xie Yingfen cut out a thick cloth autumn coat again, she asked the Jiang Pu who was waiting in Xie Xianzhi's house to help sew it up, and made a very fitting and finely stitched autumn shirt, and when the next time she went to school, she would wear it to school. Because she was dressed well, she naturally attracted the attention of her classmates and sisters, who came to ask if this was her new autumn clothes.

Xie Yingfen told them "honestly" that the clothes were cut by herself, and she just asked the girl at home to sew them, but they were also clothes made by herself. The girls immediately chattered around her.

There is nothing difficult about stitching, it's just water grinding kung fu, and it is enough to practice seriously for a few more years, but tailoring has always been a test of talent. Some of them are good at needlework, but they are not good at tailoring, and some of them can cope with tailoring, but they can't fit so well, so they naturally want to know what Xie Yingfen's secret is here.

After all, when she was in class last time, Xie Yingfen didn't even cut a skirt. Where can a normal person progress so fast?

Xie Mulin didn't care about these little tricks, so Xie Yingfen didn't hide it from his classmates. When the little sisters in the clan heard that there was such a trick, as long as they cut out paper patterns from old clothes, and then cut cloth according to the paper patterns, they didn't have to worry about making clothes with long sleeves on one side and short sleeves on the other, or crooked clothes. Xie Mulin taught them cheerfully.

Although this method is a bit tricky, as long as you think about it, it's not that no one uses old clothes to make patterns when learning tailoring, and now it's just an extra piece of paper, but it's more convenient and convenient, and you don't have to take out the clothes every time to compare, even the gentlemen in the boudoir don't say much. They just extra told the girls not to forget to practice the basics just because they had a trick. Because when they want to make new clothes in the future, they may not always have suitable old clothes to use as a reference, and they have to work hard to master the ability to tailor clothes.

The gentlemen's teachings, Xie Mulin and the others naturally agreed to it. As for which method will be used to make clothes in the future, it depends on each person's opinion. If you can take a shortcut, why not?

Xie Mulin learned to make skirts and single shirts, and his learning progress was a little ahead of his sisters. The gentleman told her to stop first, consolidate what she had learned, practice the basic skills more, and wait until the progress of the other girls caught up, and then continued to learn.

Xie Mulin didn't care, so he began to study how to make various styles of single shirts, wide-sleeved, narrow-sleeved, half-sleeved, and even men's clothing, there are many things to learn!

She even asked her brother Xie Jinzhi privately to borrow an old dress to see if she could also make a paper version. If you use this method, you can also make clothes for your brothers, and it will be much easier to make new clothes for everyone at home before each season. The Xie family has now greatly reduced the number of people, and they don't want to spend a high price to find a professional tailor to make clothes every time, so every time the season changes, the Wen family has to take the female dependents of the family to work for a long time, and Xie Mulin and Xie Yingfen's little sisters also have to help. If there is a way to ease everyone's burden, why not?

Just when Xie Mulin and others were busy learning tailoring, Xie Yinghui from Beijing wrote again.

Xie Yinghui has received a letter from her father Xie Pu from Beiping to Jinling. In the past, she didn't have a good impression of her father, but now she feels like crying when she sees all the comfort and encouragement his father gave her in his letter home. She really misunderstood her biological father too much before. In fact, my father is really a sensible person, and his character is also upright, and he does not approve of many of the Cao family's methods. Knowing that she was separated from the Cao family's life, he was also very relieved, which showed that he had never had the idea of relying on the Cao family.

The people around her mother Cao's family used to say so many things to her that did not conform to the facts, which made her have so many misunderstandings about her father, what kind of idea did she have?!

Xie Yinghui added another crime to the foreign family in her heart, but her perception of her father has changed greatly. She doesn't trust the people around her very much now, and she doesn't dare to mention anything to the people around her, so she can only confide in her brother in a letter to her family.

Xie Yinghui also mentioned Xie Yingrong in the family letter, saying that after she received her father's letter, because it was late that day, she waited until the next day to go to the door of Bian's house to pick up her sister. But for some reason, Xie Yingrong actually had a fever in the middle of the night and was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed. The people of the Bian family blamed themselves very much, saying that it was Miss Bian's carelessness that caused Xie Yingrong to get sick. Although he knew that Xie Pu ordered someone to pick up his daughter, he was worried that if Xie Yingrong's condition worsened during the transfer, Miss Bian's sin would be great. So the Bian family politely begged Xie Yinghui to let them keep Xie Yingrong at home to take care of her, and when she recovered, they would send her back to the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge.

Xie Yinghui couldn't refute the request of the Bian family, she saw that Xie Yingrong was indeed burned badly, if there was really something wrong on the road, wouldn't it be her responsibility? Besides, Xie Yingrong seems to have just suddenly contracted a cold, and if he takes medicine for a few days, it is estimated that he will be fine, and he will go home a few days later and a few days earlier, and the difference is not big. Xie Yinghui herself hasn't decided whether to go back to her hometown in Huyin to reunite with her family, she can afford to drag it out these days.

Xie Yinghui went home empty-handed, but when she heard from Cai Laotian that last night, Aunt Jin had called a teenager at the gate who was running errands for people at the gate on the grounds that she had run out of ointment and urgently needed to buy a new one, sent him to the market to buy ointment, and specially paid one or two silver for running errands, she felt that something was wrong.

Cai Laotian and his wife thought that the errand fee for the two silver was very suspicious. For the few young people who were hired to help people run errands nearby, the price of running errands was only ten or twenty wen at a time, which was very cheap, and even if the reward was given, it was only one or two hundred wen. Aunt Jin can use a flower or two? Besides, she is not sick or in pain, what kind of ointment is so important, and she has to buy it overnight, and she can't wait all night? And since it is such an important ointment, why didn't Aunt Jin buy it as soon as possible?

Xie Yinghui then suspected that Aunt Jin might have gotten the news and knew that Xie Pu was going to send someone to take Xie Yingrong home, so she called the errand boy to send a letter to the latter overnight. So, Xie Yingrong happened to have a fever in the middle of the night, and the responsibility was still on Miss Bian.

Xie Yinghui was about to laugh angrily, she had seen how the doctor invited by the Bian family diagnosed Xie Yingrong, and knew that the latter was really sick, not pretending. She really couldn't understand why Xie Yingrong had to stay at Bian's house and not leave? Is it really worth paying such a big price to make yourself so sick, and you don't know how long it will take to get better, and whether it will leave future troubles?
