Chapter Twenty-Six: There's a Back Door

The merchant took it personally, and the girls of the merchant followed their father to the outer courtyard like the wind, even Xiao Qi also wanted the eldest sister to hold it, but the eldest sister couldn't hold it for long. Or the nurse hugged it together.

I walked around yesterday, but today I walked out of this place called the inner courtyard, Shang Ruonan still sighed, it's so big. This family is so big, I wanted to rent a house like a small shack for more than a thousand, and I removed almost half of my salary, and now any corridor is bigger than my nest.

There was a merchant with him, and Mrs. Wu didn't dare to stop her. But looking at the large group of people following behind Master Shang, some of them stopped talking. This one young lady has two girls, and the seventh young lady also adds a seventh young lady's nurse. It seems that behind Master Shang is a group of people who are following the flowers.

That Mrs. Wu pouted after everyone had passed the threshold. was unintentionally turned back by Shang Ruonan and saw it. Mrs. Wu was stunned for an instant, how could the eyes of these four young ladies make people feel a little panicked?

When I got out of the door of the inner courtyard, I didn't go straight forward. Because it was the road to the main house in the front hall, Master Shang took his daughters and turned left, and there were some trees planted on both sides of the bluestone path, which looked like it was some years old. These trees are tall and straight, maybe they have blocked the sun for a long time, or it may be that no one usually comes to this small courtyard, and there is some moss on the bluestone slabs.

The door of the courtyard was hidden. As soon as he came in, Shang Ruonan fell in love with this small courtyard. The courtyard is not like other yards that are planted with trees, there are trees outside this yard, but there are no inside, only the left side of the yard against the wall, there is a small flower stand, and the grass grows wildly inside.

The middle of the whole yard is paved with bluestone slabs, which looks very bright. No frills at all. There is a row of houses opposite. Only one side has an ear room. On the other side, there is only a fence. It looks like it's been a long time since there's been a habit.

When this group of people came in, it seemed to disturb the tranquility of this small courtyard.

Shang Dongliang stood in the middle of the courtyard. Take a look around:

"If you want to do it at home, this is the place. You can't see it from the outside. My study at the back of here, and the inner courtyard is connected here. ”

Every time Shang Dongliang said that, Pan Lan ran to take a look, in fact, she was not as high as the wall, and she always felt that she could see through it when she went to see it.

However, when Shang Dongliang said that the inner courtyard was on the left hand side of the door, Shang Ruonan's heart moved: Why don't you open a door here?

I thought so, but I didn't ask. Shang Panlan pulled Ruonan to the house, the hardware furniture in the room was still there, but no one lived in it, so it was not cleaned, and it looked like there was dust everywhere.

Walking out of the main house, the ear room next to it was pushed open, and there was actually a back door here! The sisters went to the back door and looked. It was found that the door was nailed shut. That's a bit weird. But Dad said that it was his study, so it seems that behind this is the courtyard of the study.

After looking around, when he came out of the house, Lilac stepped forward and patted Shang Ruonan on the gray road:

"Miss, there's dust everywhere in there, let's clean it up and go in."

Shang Dongliang looked around and said to his daughters:

"How about you take a look at this place?"

Qi Qi's eyes looked at Ruonan. Ruonan said a little panicked:

"Look at what I do, I just know how to dye it, and I don't know how to do it. If you want to make clothes and dye them first, you have to make them first. If you dye the cloth first, you can do it, so you have to make some flowers yourself. ”

said that, look up at the courtyard wall on all sides:

"However, if you want to dye the cloth, you should put a dye vat under it, and there must be a clothes pole on it to dry the cloth, right? So, the cylinder is wanted, and the bamboo pole is wanted, right? ”

After thinking about it, Shang Ruonan could only think that these were to be prepared, of course, the paint and cloth were already there.

Shang Dongliang thought about it and said:

"Okay, let's get some ready, and you sisters will discuss how to make your new clothes. Let's try on your clothes first, if it succeeds, then we will do a lot of it, this is more than two months before the New Year, it should be too late. ”

The eldest sister looked at a few younger sisters and said;

"Then let's go back and figure out how to make everyone's clothes. Call the nurses and girls in the house to catch up, it should be in time. ”

"I want, I want, I want new clothes!"

The little seventh sister ran over and took the eldest sister's hand and jumped and shouted.

"Well, we all have it, we sisters have it."

"But I won't do it?"

Shang Ruonan blinked.

The eldest sister comforted together:

"Don't worry, it's all there, I'll do it for you."

So, in the end, the matter of making clothes fell to the eldest sister. Shang Ruonan was responsible for what patterns he wanted to print for the sisters and what tools he wanted, and asked Uncle Gen to find someone to do it.

Shang Dongliang took his daughters back to the inner courtyard again. When passing through the inner courtyard, Mrs. Wu seemed to be counting, counting whether the people they went out with had all come back together.

Shang Ruonan didn't go to see her this time, and he was still thinking about how to print and dye.

Entering the inner courtyard, Shang Dongliang picked up the little seventh sister and went straight to the main house. After taking two steps, he looked back at the daughters who were standing in a row and greeted him, and said:

"Little four, you show me the colors you can make, and you can make a handkerchief for each color."

Because it was very fast to watch her make a handkerchief yesterday, so let's ask for a handkerchief for each color.

Shang Ruonan nodded. Then the sisters all went to Shang Ruonan's courtyard together. Once inside, the sisters sat down and discussed how to make clothes.

Shang Ruonan can still make a handkerchief. Because a veil is square. You can fold it up as you want to design.

But a dress is different. If you want to print flowers on a piece of clothing, you have to pay attention to some parts of the clothes that need to be folded and sewn, such as skirts, which are folded and sewn. Therefore, Shang Ruonan believes that he must first understand how clothes are cut. How it is structured!

So, let Lilac go and get a dress out. set it on the table, and then discussed with my sisters how to dye and how to operate.

Because the whole garment does not need to be embroidered, it is all dyed. Then you have to plan how to do it piece by piece. Therefore, Shang Ruonan asked the eldest sister who can make clothes to take yesterday's white cloth, first cut a dress for herself and try to make a one, and see how the flowers in each place should be designed to be suitable, otherwise, the flowers will be dyed. The cloth was cut, but it was crooked.

It's hard to tailor or something, although the eldest sister who is only eleven years old will tailor her own clothes. So, call the girl:

"Pothos, go get my rag basket. I'm going to tailor it. ”
