Chapter 144: Happy Clothes

Guo'er talked for a long time and felt a little dry. She picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one sip. Then she said: "Losing weight is a protracted battle and it cannot be achieved overnight. As long as you persist for a long time, it will definitely be effective."

Chen Yingying hurriedly asked the little maid to add tea to her.

The two of them talked for a while, and Aunt Mu got up to say goodbye when she saw it was getting late and left with Guoer. Chen Yingying was still feeling a little unfulfilled.

On the carriage back, Aunt Mu said:

"Miss Guoer, the methods you mentioned just now seem to be quite like that. Look, Miss Chen was stunned by you. But in my opinion, Miss Chen may not be able to lose weight. Alas, this It’s really hard to do wedding dress.”

After contacting Chen Yingying, Guoer actually had an idea in her mind, so she said calmly: "Miss Mu, don't be anxious. I'll go back and think about it carefully. After drawing the pattern of the wedding costumes, I will come to find you as soon as possible. ”

Aunt Mu smiled and said, "That's good, I'll work hard for Miss Guoer."

Back to Dongliu Street, Guoer found that there were quite a lot of customers today. Bao and the newly hired women, Xiaohong and Qiuer, were busy greeting each other. Just saw off a few sisters-in-law, and several more came in. The young girl, Guoer did not go over to disturb her.

Just as I was about to pass through the store and go to the backyard, I heard a girl's voice coming: "Why are there no purple leaf clover yet? When I came to buy it last time, didn't you say that the purple leaf clover's flower shapes will be available in two days? ?”

Bao said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, why don't the girl look at other things? You see so many silk flowers, which are very beautiful, right? This crabapple..."

"I just want purple-leaf clover! My elder sister is about to get out of the box, and her favorite flower is purple-leaf clover, so I want to give her two purple-leaf clover silk flowers. I found many shops, only your silk flowers are here It's cheap and beautiful, but it doesn't have purple-leaf clover."

Guo'er walked over gently and saw the girl pouting unhappily after speaking.

Bao was standing there awkwardly with a crabapple silk flower in his hand. The counter in front of several people was filled with all kinds of silk flowers.

These silk flowers are different from those sent to Jinxiufang, both in materials and shapes. Guoer designed them specifically for her own embroidery shop, but she doesn't want to be too similar to those of Jinxiufang. If customers mistakenly think of Yao's embroidery shop The imitation version of Jinxiufang is not what Guoer wants.

So the silk flowers she designed for her shop are to put it bluntly, modern handmade simulated flowers. They are made of ordinary huanxi yarn and thin iron wire, and at most they are decorated below and there is no other embellishment. Suitable for young girls to wear.

The disadvantage of washing spinning yarn is that its texture is relatively hard. Ordinary small households generally use it to make gauze tents, window screens, etc. Rich and wealthy families definitely don’t like this kind of yarn, so the price of washing spinning yarn is very cheap.

However, this yarn is better because of its diverse colors and a transparent and soft surface, which is most suitable for making cheap simulated flowers.

The two female companions who came with the girl were always picking around the pile of silk flowers with great enthusiasm. Seeing that their friends were unhappy, one of them spoke:

"Forget Xiaoyue, if you really don't have purple leaf clover, just buy something else. These silk flowers are pretty beautiful. We have visited so many shops, but they have such silk flowers for sale in their homes, and the price is not expensive."

Another advised: "That is, let's help you choose, how about this one?"

But this girl named Xiaoyue was still unhappy.

The purple-leaf clover that Xiaoyue wanted was actually the modern Phalaenopsis. Guoer's eyes swept through the various silk flowers on the counter, but there was really no Phalaenopsis shape.

Bao also tried to persuade again: "This girl, I'm really sorry. Otherwise, look at these flowers, look at this iris, it looks quite similar to purple-leaf clover, which is better..."

Xiaoyue interrupted her directly and said, "Forget it, I just want the purple-leaf clover."

Bao: "Miss, I know that the silk flowers of purple-leaf clover are not even the most famous Jinxiufang in the city. If you don't believe it, you can go and take a look."

Bao was very confident about this because most of the silk flowers in Jinxiufang came from the small workshop of her daughter, so she naturally knew what the flower shapes were.

Xiaoyue was obviously disappointed and was about to go out.

Guoer called her softly: "Please stay, sister."

Xiaoyue turned around and saw that it was a little girl younger than her, so she asked politely: "Are you calling me?"

Guoer: "This sister, my mother said right just now. The purple leaf clover flower pattern must have it in our store in two days. It's just that the colors are not yet fully equipped, so I've been delayed for a few days this time. I don't know my sister likes it.

Which color is it?”

Xiaoyue didn't believe it very much: "Really?"

Guoer nodded affirmatively.

Xiaoyue was skeptical, but she still told her: "The purple-leaf clover blue is of course the best. In addition to blue, my sister also likes light purple ones. Do you have one?"

Guoer and Grape Bone were circling around and said, "Of course there is, if you come here again in two days, the purple-leaf clover flower shape will definitely arrive."

Xiaoyue hesitated and said, "Then I will come back in two days, can't I be disappointed again?"

Guoer smiled sweetly at her: "Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint you."

The other two girls picked two silk flowers each and bought a few colorful ropes for braiding, and the three girls left together.

Bao walked out of the counter and said to Guoer: "You can't say that there are so many embroidery items in our shop, so silk flowers are the best sold. But recently, there are imitations in other shops. It's really unauthentic, hum!



Bao was not worried about what his daughter said to Xiaoyue just now. She knew that her daughter could tell the shape of purple-leaf clover, and she would definitely make it in two days. What she felt uncomfortable now is that there were already silk flowers on the market that were the same as theirs.

.

Guoer comforted her: "Mom, it's not difficult for us to make this kind of silk flower. As long as an expert gets it in his hands, he can do it accordingly after thinking about it a few more times. It's not uncommon to have imitations.

Therefore, we must work hard on service and improve the quality of service so that we can retain customers.”

Bao Shi nodded deeply and asked again: "Miss Mu's affairs can be completed? When will you go back to the village?"

Guoer shook her head: "I haven't finished it. I haven't gone back these days. I want to design a new wedding dress for Jinxiufang. This is the wedding dress that the county magistrate's daughter wants to wear when she is out of the house. I have to think about it carefully.

.”

What? When designing wedding clothes for the county magistrate's daughter, Bao was overjoyed when he heard this: "God, my daughter is getting more and more prosperous. She is all connected with the county magistrate's daughter. Then why don't we...

...”

Guo'er hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, if you have time, please help me cut the wattle and cut each color together, and then help me buy some fine wire from the shop next door."

Bao: "You want to make the flower shape of purple-leaf clover yourself?"

Guoer nodded: "Of course, I am very familiar with the purple-leaf clover and it can be made very quickly."

"Okay, okay, mom, let's prepare it for you now."

After saying that, Bao turned around and shouted to Xiaohong and Qiuer who were busy at the counter:

"Xiaohong, go and take down the Huanxisha and cut a few pieces and send them to the girl to the house; Qiu'er, go to the iron shop on East Street and buy a handful of thin iron wire, the thinnest type wrapped around silk flowers. Yes, go and go back quickly.”

Xiaohong and Qiu'er put down their work and started working as Bao's instructions. Guo'er went back to her own room in the backyard. She wanted to think carefully about how to design Chen Yingying's wedding dress.

Guoer's thoughts were naturally Tang Dynasty clothing. Women in the Tang Dynasty regarded fat as beauty, and their clothes had obvious characteristics compared to other dynasties.

The most traditional Tang Dynasty women dressed in dresses, all wearing robes on top and skirts on bottom. The robe is short and small, and the skirt is fat and long. The skirt is tied to the chest with a high waist, and the skin on the neck and chest is exposed. Such clothing is for people. A sense of elegance, slenderness and elegance.

The wedding dress that Guoer planned to design for Chen Yingying was to combine the characteristics of the women's outfits of the Tang Dynasty, raise her waist to her chest, and combine it with the modern fat man skirt design. The wedding dress made in this way should be suitable for Chen Yingying's figure. Features.

Of course, this dynasty did not popularize the chest, so it was impossible to copy the Tang Dynasty clothes completely.

Two days later, Guo'er went to Jinxiufang and took out the wedding costume patterns she designed for Aunt Mu to show. Aunt Mu had never seen this kind of wedding costume style without a waist, and her eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Miss Guoer, can this work? Why do you look weird?"

Aunt Mu really felt that it was not safe. Seeing that Miss Chen’s day of joy was not far away, the wedding dress could not be delayed anymore, but the style of Miss Guoer always felt...yes, it was like a nightgown.

Seeing Aunt Mu's worried expression, Guoer said indifferently: "So does Aunt Mu have a better style?"

Aunt Mu: "..."

Guoer said again: "It's better for Aunt Mu to believe me once. Sometimes, only by wearing it on your body can you tell whether it fits or not."

Aunt Mu still frowned: "But this seems to be too fat, and Miss Chen is still losing weight. What if Miss Chen loses weight again after it is done, wouldn't she have to change it?"

Guo'er smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Aunt Mu, even if Miss Chen is really thin, she will not be much thinner."

Guoer definitely believes that even if she can strictly follow the method she taught last time, she will never lose dozens of pounds in a short period of time.

In the end, Aunt Mu chose to believe Guoer. Anyway, she had wasted a lot of good materials. At worst, she would take the last modification and try it together.

After solving the problem of wedding costumes, Guoer seized the time to make a bunch of purple-leaf clover-shaped silk flowers. Since she promised Miss Xiaoyue, she naturally had to trust her words.

After returning to the village, she would hand over the newly released purple-leaf clover and silk flowers to Zaoer, and she would arrange for people to make more to sell.

Half a month later, Aunt Mu and Guoer went to meet Miss Chen with the wedding dress carefully made by the embroiderers.

This time, the county magistrate’s wife Wu was also there. The impression she gave was very different from Miss Chen. Wu had the majesty of an official wife. Sitting there quietly on her face without laughing, which made people feel a sense of oppression.

Chen Yingying went up like last time, and took Guo'er's hand leisurely and walked around in front of her leisurely.

"Guaer, see if I have lost weight. I think the clothes on me are much looser than before. These days, I have strictly followed the methods you said. Please take a look at it. Lose weight, huh?"

After saying that, Chen Yingying turned around again and looked down at her waist.

Guoer nodded at her waist: "I'm a little thinner than last time, so let's try the wedding dress first."
Chapter completed!
