Chapter 7: Metamorphosis
The next day, Boss Wang of the Jewelry Zhai brought several boxes of jewelry and brocade silk to the mansion. "Miss, Boss Wang is here!" Qiu Yue looked excited, as if she had won millions, Yu Wei couldn't help but feel funny, sure enough, it was a little girl, and she was coaxed away by giving a candy.
"Hurry up and invite Boss Wang in, Xia He, take out the pre-rain Longjing you received yesterday and entertain your guests."
I heard that most of the jewelry designs in the jewelry house are from the hands of Boss Wang, and his jewelry is not only beautiful but also unique in design. How many thousands of gold in the capital want to buy jewelry from the jewelry house, but they can only move to the shops. Presumably it was on his grandmother's face that Boss Wang arrived at the house. It is the wish of all dignitaries in the capital to let Boss Wang personally come forward to serve.
Usually Yuwei has the habit of collecting jewelry in modern times, South African pink diamonds, superb jade pendants, thousand-year-old beeswax, agate jade. Therefore, there are a lot of valuable jewelry, and there are not many jewelry that can get into Yuwei's eyes.
As soon as Qiu Yue's voice fell, a polite middle-aged man appeared at the door, although he was middle-aged, his skin was still well maintained, and his face was kind, which made people feel the urge to get closer. king
The boss was wearing a brown satin, which looked low-key and stable at a glance, but when he looked closely, the dress was actually embroidered with dark lines, which were different brown from every angle. The beauty of this embroidery process can't help but make Yu Wei look forward to this tailoring.
"The little one has seen the big lady." Although this boss Wang has a lot of status in the capital, he has no shelf at all. Although he claims to be small, Boss Wang is neither humble nor arrogant, and his attitude of not being arrogant or impatient has to let Yu Weigao take a look.
"Boss Wang, you are very polite, please take a seat! Today, I have to rely on you to help me design a good outfit and enter the palace in the New Year. Boss Wang didn't shirk it, and sat down on the pear chair closest to Yuwei.
Yuwei loves to exchange gifts, if you respect me an inch, I will naturally respect you a foot.
Boss Wang looked at the eldest lady sitting on it, and rarely appeared at the banquet of dignitaries and nobles in his memory. The legendary eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion is the most unfavored, mediocre in appearance, without talent and virtue.
But when I see it today, it's different from the legend. Her skin is better than snow, elegant and vulgar, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, when she looks forward to it, she has a light and spiritual aura, her demeanor is leisurely, her peach cheeks are smiling, and her breath is like a quiet orchid. For a while, Boss Wang actually saw some of the gods.
Yu Wei had no choice but to speak out to break this embarrassment, "I heard that Boss Wang's jewelry house is famous in the Three Kingdoms. When I saw it today, Boss Wang's hidden needle alone today opened my eyes. The colors are light and dark, and the feeling of seeing them is different from different angles. “
A layman can see the beauty and ugliness of needlework, but only an insider who knows the goods can accurately tell how to embroider a garment at a glance.
Boss Wang showed a surprised expression in his eyes, but it was fleeting. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady in front of me is not only not as incompetent as rumored, but has more knowledge than the average lady.
"I didn't expect the eldest lady to be an expert, Wang is really a class today!" Boss Wang's attitude is more cordial than just now, as if he has met a confidant.
Yuwei's company has a clothing brand, and last year's main model was embroidered cheongsam, so Yuwei was fortunate to study with several internationally famous fashion designers when planning, and she knew a little about embroidery.
"Boss Wang has won the award, but I saw it by chance, so I just remember it. Boss Wang, you are a professional, I have to rely on you to help me design a body today, after all, it is a palace banquet, and I can't lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yu Wei saw that Boss Wang was a real person, so she didn't plan to beat around the bush, and directly made a request.
Boss Wang is a smart person and knows the importance of it.
The emperor's banquet for the New Year is well known, and the emperor's intention is obvious, that is, to find a good match for the two princes. The two princes are dragons and phoenixes among people, and everyone in the country of Furong is of the right age to dream of this palace banquet. However, those who can participate in the palace banquet must be people of a certain rank, and of course, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him is also one of the candidates considered by the emperor.
How many people across the country are waiting to see her jokes, and it is said that this Miss Yan is incompetent and talentless, and she is not as good as the second lady in the house. If it weren't for the fact that he had a deep friendship with the old lady, and the old lady loved this granddaughter very much, Boss Wang wouldn't want to wade into this troubled water.
In terms of clothing and headdress, it can neither overshadow the demeanor of the queen princess, nor can it look too ordinary. Otherwise, he would lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion and smash his own signboard. This was really a bit embarrassing, and Boss Wang had to ask Yu Wei what she meant: "I don't know if the eldest lady has any special requirements?"
"Low-key luxury has connotations, and I pay more attention to the small details. There are some places where I want to change the tradition, and I hope Boss Wang will help me take a look. Yu Wei felt that some ancient clothes were either too wide or too narrow, and Yu Wei was thinking about adding some modern clothing elements.
It took an afternoon, and in the end, Yuwei chose a flower skirt with a hundred flowers and butterflies.
Change the sleeves to slightly flared sleeves, and the collar edge is edged with gold wire waves. From the materials used in the clothing, the design of the pattern to the matching of the headdress and shoes, Boss Wang is hands-on, and comprehensive, Yu Wei appreciates Boss Wang's serious and dedicated attitude at work, if it is in modern times, it will definitely become the left arm and right arm of Yu Wei company.
Unknowingly, when it was time for dinner, Boss Wang thanked Yuwei for her kindness and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to instruct a few words: "The flowers and butterflies on this dress are all made by 88 embroidery girls, and it will take a month to complete." The New Year is approaching, and I hope that the eldest lady will keep her diet light. ”
Xia He's cooking skills are good, so Yu Wei has recently begun to show signs of fortune, and at this time, touching her slightly bulging belly, Yu Wei couldn't help but blush, isn't this Boss Wang hinting that she is fat.
Yu Wei quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile: "Boss Wang is so careful, I will pay attention." Seeing that Yuwei understood what she meant, Boss Wang left the Prime Minister's Mansion with confidence.
During the meal, Yuwei looked at the delicious food on the table, but she didn't dare to start, and Xia He on the side was anxious: "Miss, is today's dish not appetizing?" Whatever the young lady wants to eat, the slave maid will do it now. ”
Yu Wei smiled and said: "No, the dishes are all I like, but it should be light recently, you can eat whatever you want in the future, as long as you cook porridge every day, I will eat it." ”
Xia He didn't ask much, but just answered. In fact, the four girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter are also clever, and they didn't say much about what they shouldn't ask, which made Yuwei feel very comfortable getting along.
"Second Miss, our young lady is resting, you wait for me to pass it on before you go in!" I only heard the noise outside, and after a while, Zhang Liyun rushed in with a group of maids and Qiu Yue's obstruction.
