Chapter 40: Making Clothes for the Old Lady!
Xu Ruoxue was so depressed in her heart that she simply ignored her, and began to eat by herself.
Shen Chuhan saw that she was angry, and a smile flashed in his dark eyes.
In the end, Xue Ruoxue ate too much without surprise.
She felt as if she had eaten all the food of her life today.
Holding it alone, he walked out of Tianxiangju slowly.
Shen Chuhan followed: "You are sour plum soup, drink some to eliminate food." ”
Xu Ruoxue glared at him angrily, and snorted coldly: "You are so kind?" ”
Shen Chuhan's eyes moved slightly, and finally handed the sour plum soup to her.
Xu Ruoxue wanted to return the things in her hand to him, she was a person with backbone!
But facing Shen Chuhan's eagle-like eyes, Xu Ruoxue instantly changed her mind.
But now she can't drink anything, she can only hold the sour plum soup, and can't help complaining: "It's all your fault, I eat so much." ”
Shen Chuhan's eyebrows frowned slightly: "I just said that it's not good to bring back what you have eaten, and I didn't let you eat it all." ”
Xu Ruoxue said unconvinced: "I am a virtue, not wasted." ”
Then he felt that he couldn't make sense with him, so he waved his hand directly: "Okay, you don't understand it." ”
Shen Chuhan suddenly thought of his lifelike life before.
Presumably, I must have suffered a lot in the countryside before, and there was a trace of pity in my eyes.
Slowly followed behind her: "Walk down the street and eat less." ”
Xu Ruoxue replied lightly.
The two walked unhurriedly on the street, and before they knew it, they came to the Lingxiu ready-to-wear store.
Looking at the scene of people coming and going in front of the door, Xu Ruoxue's face suddenly showed a trace of joy.
Turned to Shen Chuhan and said, "How is it, is my ready-to-wear shop very successful?" ”
Although Shen Chuhan doesn't take care of general affairs, he still knows something about the shops in the general's mansion, and he has also been to Lingxiu Cloth Shop, but it is just an ordinary business.
And now, it has been changed into a Lingxiu ready-to-wear shop, which is obviously very different from before, not to mention how to compare with before, even compared with the adjacent shops, and the flow of people is also very obvious.
"Very good." Shen Chuhan praised sincerely.
"That's it." Xu Ruoxue was very happy to see that her achievements were recognized.
So, he invited Shen Chuhan and said, "If the sixth brother is not busy today, why don't we go and see how today's business is?" ”
"Okay." Shen Chuhan nodded slightly.
Immediately, the two walked into the ready-to-wear store side by side.
Shopkeeper Yang saw Xu Ruoxue and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Miss, you are here!" ”
When he saw Shen Chuhan behind her, he continued to greet: "Sixth Young Master." ”
Shopkeeper Yang is worthy of being a shopkeeper for many years, and he only saw Shen Chuhan once, so he remembered him.
Xu Ruoxue said with a smile: "No need to be polite, how is it today?" ”
Shopkeeper Yang smiled evilly: "Back to the eldest lady, today is the same as before, the orders are full." ”
"Thank you for your hard work, when the time comes, contact the embroidery girl, and you must ensure the quality." Xu Ruoxue patiently admonished.
"The little one understands." The shopkeeper Yang immediately responded.
Shen Chuhan accompanied Xu Ruoxue to look at the account books of the garment shop, and then went to the embroidery workshop to visit.
I admired Xu Ruoxue even more in my heart: "I only thought you would cure diseases, but I didn't expect you to have such means in business." ”
When Xu Ruoxue heard this, she instantly smiled: "I have won awards, but I am a little proficient in everything." ”
"Your ondol has now been used on a large scale in Kyoto, and the response has been very good." Shen Chuhan told her about the fact that he had been in charge of the soil kang recently.
"That's great, it can benefit more people this winter."
"They want to thank you." Shen Chuhan said in a calm tone.
"Thank me?" Xu Ruoxue looked shocked, "Why thank me?" ”
"Because you've helped a lot of people." Shen Chuhan said slowly.
Then his face softened, and his eyes revealed a hint of lightness.
There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice: "The emperor already knows about this matter, and he praises you a lot, and it is estimated that it will not be long before you may be rewarded." ”
"I don't care what I should be." Xu Ruoxue doesn't care about any false name.
"Hmm." Shen Chuhan's eyes drooped slightly, and he faintly agreed.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Xu Ruoxue felt a little tired from walking outside today, and said directly to Shen Chuhan.
"Okay." Shen Chuhan had no objections, and the two returned to the General's Mansion.
Not long after returning to the courtyard, he was called over by Xu Yan.
"Godmother, are you looking for me?" After Xu Ruoxue walked into the room, she looked at Xu Yan and asked.
"Xue'er, you're back, I just have something to discuss with you." Xu Yan said with a smile.
"If you have anything to do, just say it, I will do what I can do." Lifelike snow's eyes are clear and sincere.
Xu Yan said gently: "In half a month it will be your grandmother's birthday, and she wants a new birthday dress, I want to ask you what new tricks are here?" ”
When Xu Ruoxue heard this, she instantly thought of some patterns in her mind, but she didn't reply immediately: "Godmother, since it's the old lady's birthday, I want to choose a good choice for the old lady, and I'll show it to you later." ”
Xu Yan said amiably: "Don't worry, let's go to her old lady and have a look together." ”
"Okay." Lifelike Xue smiled calmly.
In the evening, Xu Yan took Xu Ruoxue to the old lady's yard.
"You're here." The old lady smiled softly and beckoned to them.
Lifelike snow gives; The old lady saluted: "Hello grandma." ”
"Don't have so many rules, come and sit with me." As he spoke, he let Xu Ruoxue sit beside him.
The old lady was very happy and said, "Your mother should have told you that I got a quick meal a few days ago, and my birthday was approaching, so I was thinking about making new clothes." ”
"Thanks to my grandmother's attention, the ready-to-wear shop will definitely tailor it for you." Xu Ruoxue pursed her lips and smiled, "It's my honor to be able to make clothes for my grandmother." ”
After speaking, Jinren said and laughed a few words.
After a while, Xu Ruoxue's heart moved, if she could design and sew a brilliant dress for the old lady, it would be equivalent to making a cost-free advertisement in the top ladies circle in Kyoto.
When even the idea was spoken.
"Grandma, do you mind doing a promotion for Lingxiu Garment Shop, so that more people can see the clothes of the Garment Shop." Xu Ruoxue asked with a light smile.
The old lady smiled and said, "No problem, I will definitely support Xue'er." ”
"Grandma, I'll measure it for you." As he spoke, he got up and prepared to measure her figure.
When the old lady next to her heard this, she directly handed her the size list.
After Xu Ruoxue took the list, she glanced at the old lady's figure and asked, "Is this the new size recently?" ”
The old lady shook her head: "This should be the size of three months ago." ”
Xu Ruoxue roughly compared, and then said: "Grandma, I think this size is a little different from your current one, do you want to measure it again?" ”
The old lady replied softly: "Yes." ”
Then, Xu Ruoxue carefully measured the size of the old lady's figure.
After measuring the size, Xu Ruoxue took the fine brocade from the old lady's personal maid.
After returning to her yard from the old lady, Xu Ruoxue locked herself in the room and did not see her come out until it was time to eat.
Every time Ling Shuang and the others came to look for her, they saw her leaning over the table and drawing sketches.
There are also many discarded patterns on the table and on the floor.
Ling Shuang didn't dare to come forward to disturb him, only when it was time to eat, Ling Shuang dared to step forward and bring people out.
But after a few bites of it hurriedly, Xu Ruoxue went into her hut again and began to study the pattern.
After a few days of designing, Lifelike Snow finally has a pattern that satisfies her.
Next, she took the brocade and planned to go to the embroidery workshop in person to explain some details to the late lady.
This time she brought not only the fabric, but also a very strange machine.
When everyone saw this strange machine, they were at a loss.
It wasn't until Xu Ruoxue personally demonstrated it to everyone, and everyone suddenly realized.
The late lady circled around the sewing machine many times, and looked at Xu Ruoxue with an excited face: "Miss, you are really amazing, with this machine, our efficiency can be greatly improved, and there is no need to worry about making mistakes." ”
The corners of Xu Ruoxue's mouth raised slightly: "I also made this by accident, there is only such a sewing machine at present, and I will let everyone have one in the future." ”
These embroiderers have done embroidery work all their lives, and it is the first time they have seen such a strange machine in so many years, and they are both curious and looking forward to it for a while, looking forward to having such a magical machine soon.
"The eldest lady is mighty!"
"The eldest lady is so powerful, you are our nobleman!"
……
For a while, the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop thanked and praised Xu Ruoxue, which made Xu Ruoxue a little embarrassed.
In the end, it was Mama Lin who came forward to stabilize everyone.
Before leaving, Xu Ruoxue and the late lady talked about the banquet clothes of the old lady
Xu Ruoxue is going to make a sample first, so that the old lady can see if she is satisfied, and there will be a chance to adjust it later.
So in less than three days, the late lady first made a rough dress and skirt for the old lady with plain cloth.
Xu Ruoxue sent the crude sample to the old lady, asked her to look at it, tried it on, and asked for her opinion.
When the old lady saw this skirt, she was very appreciative, and immediately followed Xu Ruoxue's suggestion, and made some modifications in size and details with Xu Ruoxue.
At the same time, the top and bottom of the General's Mansion were busy for the old lady's birthday.
The old lady's dress was finally made two days before the birthday feast.
Xu Ruoxue wore a dress and stood in front of the old lady.
The old lady waited expectantly for Xu Ruoxue to open the brocade box that Ling Shuang was holding in her hand.
I saw Xu Ruoxue take out the birthday banquet dress and gently unfold it.
"It's so beautiful! Xu Yan, who was standing on the side, was sincerely amazed.
The old lady was also very satisfied with the dress: "Try it on the body." ”
