Chapter 9: Talent

Su Yanshang said, "It's very expensive, others want it, I won't give it!" ”

Hearing this, some noble ladies who knew what was going on couldn't help but laugh out loud, and some covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, casting unclear glances.

"What, I'm still here." Yang Qiong's anger was ignited instantly.

Bad breath was her sore point, and at this time she forgot the etiquette of the banquet, stood up directly, and scolded loudly.

At this time, the maid was serving the changed tea, Yang Qiong spoke, reached out with a movement, and knocked down the teacup in the maid's hand, and the clothes of a girl next to her were wet, causing a slight chaos in that corner.

Generally, the noble lady will bring an extra set of clothes when she goes out, in case of emergency, and let the little maid take it to the carriage at this time.

But this girl is also unlucky, before she entered the Guogong Mansion today, she encountered a small accident on the road, and was splashed by stagnant water, and now she is wearing today's spare clothes.

There were no more spare clothes in the wagon.

The maid complained, and Su Yansheng, who was not far from them, heard it: "Do you have to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

"Of course, more talent will you?" Yang Qiong rolled her eyes, without the slightest intention of apologizing.

"If you can, why don't you let me make a dress for this girl on the spot?" Su Yanshang turned her head to look at the girl whose clothes were wet, "Would you like to?" ”

The ladies looked at each other.

The girl also looked at Su Yanshang blankly.

Making clothes? Or do it on the spot?

Haven't seen it.

"Of course, please ask the Duchess to arrange the process in the hut next to it, and then time, and I will do it quickly."

This process of tailoring is naturally not good outside, although all the women present are indecent.

It's just that this makes clothes......

The nobles in the capital have to learn housekeeping and cooking since they were young, and most of the women can embroider and tailor, but it is not easy to cut well.

Especially in the Gaomen Guifu, there are special subordinates in charge of the family, because of the professionalism, it is much better than the eldest ladies, plus the professional garment store they are not unable to afford to go, over time, the skill of tailoring in the noble girl, it is a little learned, it will be on the line, the requirements are not so high.

Even embroidered wedding dresses, many noble ladies symbolically sewed a few stitches, even if they were hands-on, they could really do it themselves, and there were not many of them.

Nowadays, if you want to be a talent show, you naturally have to look at the craftsmanship.

"Tailor what you do, it's up to you to do it." Yang Qiong said, her face was full of pride, where is it so easy to tailor? Even I don't have that confidence.

The Duchess of Guo is actually very dissatisfied with Yang Qiong's always grabbing words.

Agree or disagree, when will it be her turn to make a decision in the Guogong Mansion? But she won't be too embarrassed by these young girls, after all, they are all guests.

Besides, the people of the Guogong Mansion spilled tea on the guests, even if it was not all the maid's fault, they were losing the face of the Guogong Mansion, and the Gongfu was not stingy to return a new set of clothes to the other party.

It's just that this face has been lost, and now it is a good thing to be able to use a unique talent show to weaken this matter.

If you do a good job, everyone is happy, the face of the Guogong Mansion is saved, the cousin girl shows her talent, and the wet girl also has new clothes.

"Then take them down." The Duchess ordered the incense to be burned and asked her servants to prepare all kinds of fabrics and tailoring tools.

Su Yanshang thanked the Duchess of Guo, but did not move, looked at the wet girl, and asked again, "Are you willing?" ”

The girl nodded.

She is Rong Anbo's youngest daughter Xie Xinyuan, because she can't control her mouth, her body is fat, and she doesn't look so exquisite.

Her mother, Xie Yu, didn't like her so much, but preferred her eldest sister.

Xie Xinyuan didn't care so much about who made the clothes, anyway, any clothes didn't look so good on her.

After all, she is an unlikable fat person.

The two entered the arranged room in Taoyuan, accompanied by Mama Kang, who was next to the Duchess of Guo, which was a witness and compensation for Xie Xinyuan.

Seeing the dazzling fabrics on the table, Xie Xinyuan was amazed.

"Do you have a favorite color and style?" Su Yanshang asked.

Xie Xinyuan was stunned.

Just now, she felt that this cousin of the Dingning Marquis Mansion was very special.

Everyone else is thinking about making decisions for others, but all the while, she asks her if she wants to, and now she asks if she has a favorite color and style. It's something she's never enjoyed.

In Bofu, she didn't know if her sister had been asked by her mother, but her clothes were always given what to wear.

She didn't even know that she had a choice.

"No, I don't know."

"Then I'll see which one suits you, and I'll choose which, do you think it's good?" Su Yanshang said.

"Okay, okay." Xie Xinyuan nodded and asked, "May I ask the girl's surname?" ”

"My surname is Su, just call me Yanshang, or Ah Yan."

"Ah Yan, then I'll call you Ah Yan, you are really a good girl. My name is Xie Xinyuan, you can call me Ayuan, or Xinyuan, because our names are too similar! ”

Hearing this good girl, Su Yanshang smiled a little lonely.

She used to be a good girl, but no one knew that she was not a good girl now, but some people said she was a good girl.

How ironic!

"Okay, thank you, you too." Su Yanshang smiled sincerely this time.

Feng Jiaxian's operation just now, if it were a different person, he would not be willing to let her make clothes, but would do his best to clear up the relationship with her.

But Xie Xinyuan didn't.

She was simple, kind, and as she had done before, she listened to all the arrangements of the family, including the choice of a piece of clothing.

Su Yanshang thought for a while and asked, "By the way, what talent are you performing in a while?" ”

Xie Xinyuan was stunned when asked, she actually didn't think about performing talents, anyway, she knew that no one looked down on her, so why bother to make a fool of herself.

Su Yanshang saw something, so he said: "I can't make a set of clothes in such a short time, but if you can help me, I think it will be very brilliant." ”

Good clothes also need to be foiled, they need to be expressed.

"Really? How else can I help you? "I am useless, I feel redundant wherever I put it, Xie Xinyuan can't believe her ears.

Su Yanshang was determined: "It's up to you today!" ”

Xie Xinyuan blushed.

"Look at this color, lake blue, it suits you perfectly." Su Yanshang picked up a lake-blue brocade and compared it to the other party.

At this time, Xie Xinyuan had already taken off her wet coat, but fortunately, her underwear was not wet.

Xie Xinyuan has never worn lake blue, and most of her clothes are light pink or light yellow.

But she didn't have a choice.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like to wear blue, but she also had a small expectation in her heart.

What woman doesn't love beauty?

"This ...... Is it really right for me? ”

For some reason, she just believed Su Yanshang, she said that blue was very suitable for her, and she believed it.

Su Yanshang put the lake-blue plain lake silk on Xie Xinyuan's body, only listening to the sound of clattering scissors, and then a quick stitch, a complete piece of cloth, instantly turned into a blouse.

picked up another piece of garnet red scattered branches and green brocade, and it was cut again, and the lower skirt was done.

Mama Kang, who was standing on the side, was not interested in watching it, but after Su Yansheng's operation, she was also so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

The best tailor wouldn't dare to do that!

Su Yanshang quickly tied a belt of the same color as the green flower for her, and the belt was tied on a higher waistline than usual, and the visual sense was immediately different.

All the movements can be completed in a cup of tea.

"How do I think I'm getting thinner?" Xie Xinyuan looked left and right at the bronze mirror.

"You're just a little fat, you can cover up your clothes, and it's easy to be as skinny as those scrawny girls." Su Yanshang said while making a shawl with colorful flowers and birds on a white ground.

The colors on the shawl correspond to the red and green on the skirt and the lake blue on the top, which complement each other.

Xie Xinyuan looked a little stupid.

Is the tall and thin girl in the bronze mirror still her?

"Lake blue and pomegranate are dark colors that make people look thinner, while the light colors you just wore make people look inflated. You wear more dark colors in the future. ”

In recent years, light colors have become popular among the ladies of the capital, but dark colors are still noble and beautiful, and they look more stable.

Xie Xinyuan nodded.

There are not too many taboos in this dynasty, as long as you don't wear bright yellow, other colors can be worn by all classes, as long as you can afford it.

In the end, Su Yanshang did not use other decorations, but directly made a three-dimensional flower pattern with the silk on the skirt, the flowers are very large, standing under the waist on the left side, which not only covers the fatter belly, but also makes this set of skirts noble and ingenious, and even makes the young Xie Xinyuan not look old because the color of the dress is too dark, but adds a bit of liveliness.

"This ...... This is better than the clothes made by the tailors of Yunxiang Pavilion! Xie Xinyuan was excited.

Yunxiang Pavilion has always been the vane of fashion in Beijing, and every new style is robbed by women in Beijing.

The dress her sister is wearing today is Yunxiangge's, which is a new style that came out after the year, and now it is sold out.

Yunxiang Pavilionβ€”β€”

Su Yanshang's eyes flickered.

Outside the room, the pillar of incense used to keep time burned silently to the endβ€”

In fact, most people don't care too much about the two people in the house, but Feng Jiaxian and Yang Qiong are exceptions: who can make a set of clothes with a stick of incense, the best tailor can't!

The exception is that the two also want to see each other make a fool of themselves.

So everyone was eating dessert and continuing to enjoy the performances of other noble ladies.

At this time, it is the time for Xie Xinyuan's sister Xie Xinmin to perform, and her specialty is playing the piano.

is different from Feng Jiaxian, the former is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Xie Xinmin is only good at playing the piano, and her characteristics are different from Feng Jiaxian.

Feng Jiaxian is good at extremely complex tunes, especially those that require a lot of skills, while Xie Xinmin is even more able to set off anger, and she can express all kinds of feelings to the fullest.

"Well, this song, if it is accompanied by a dance, it will be more pleasing to the eye." I don't know who said it.

Those who heard it thought about the picture, and saw a trace of the back behind the water pavilion: the lake-blue Uesugi, the pomegranate-red skirt, the skirt swayed with the sound of the piano, and the white shawl with colorful pictures and texts moved with the wind, like a knife and a sword, soft and strong, full of power.

"It's dancing silk, but the shawl is regarded as silk, wonderful, really wonderful!" There is a noble lady.

One turned around, but he still saw a shadow without a face.

Seeing the sound of the noble ladies making a squirming sound, Xie Xinmin looked up and found that their eyes were all looking at the water pavilion opposite, and she also looked over.
