Jiang Miao prepared all the needlework, fabric and cotton. She planned to make dolls of different sizes to put in the Yuhua Building as decorations or gifts. This idea came to her after seeing the guests' love for the mirror.
Glass mirrors are rare items. Except for the first day when you buy clothes, you will get them as a gift. After that, you need to redeem them with points.
But the gift can't just be a mirror, so cute and exquisite dolls are another magic weapon. There are few little ladies who don't like such cute little things, so she went to the capital this time to buy a lot of fabrics.
The fabric Jiang Miao bought was a bit like modern coral velvet, except that the fabric was not as soft and the color was very single. The resulting clothes were bloated and fat, which would be looked down upon by noble ladies from aristocratic families.
Only ordinary people are willing to buy them home and use them as linings for winter clothes, which are much warmer than ordinary single clothes.
However, Jiang Miao would not let others go if they did not know the goods. Although such materials do not look good when used as outerwear, they are suitable for pajamas and bedding. However, the colors need to be improved and the patterns should be enriched. When the weather gets cold, they can be used in the shop again.
New products inside.
But putting aside these plans for the time being, she is now making a few dolls with limited supplies to see how the customers respond. If the customers like it, this will be another income, and the dolls are the only things in Yuhua Building.
It can also attract more customers for her.
Jiang Miao did what she said. She first drew a few popular modern patterns, whether they were cute pandas, white bears, pink pigs and rabbits, each one was addictive.
"Wow, aunt, what kind of doll is this?"
Daya and Zhou Ling were attracted to the dolls on the bed. The two young ladies couldn't move their eyes away. They lay next to them and stretched out their hands to touch them carefully. They had also played with dolls, and Daya also had Shen Laoer to make them.
There is no shortage of toys for Barbie dolls, but I have never seen one so cute.
"This is a stuffed toy, do you two like it?"
Jiang Miao stuffed the last rabbit with cotton, sewed it up with needle and thread, held its two ears and shook it in front of them. The rabbit's legs swayed, and Zhou Ling and Daya's eyes followed it.
The person nodded heavily and responded crisply.
"like!"
"like!"
Who wouldn't like such a cute thing?
Jiang Miao was amused by them, rubbed their heads, and pointed to several dolls on the bed for them to choose from.
"Take whichever one you like."
Anyway, she had a template and it wouldn't take long to make a doll, but the two little ones shook their heads sensibly. If it weren't for the love in their eyes that couldn't deceive others, Jiang Miao would have thought they were lying to her just now.
"What, you don't want it?"
"Mom said, Ling'er won't be allowed to ask for my aunt's things casually..."
Zhou Ling wrung her fingers and said sternly, the little lady who is only three years old has been brought up to be very well-behaved. She has raised meat in the Shen family in the past six months. She is white and fat like a dumpling, and is more lovable than Jiang Miao's doll.
, the baby fat on her face tempted her to poke it.
"Auntie likes Ling'er so she wants to give you something. And Da Ya, just take what auntie gives you."
It's not like she didn't see the desire in their eyes, and she didn't have any reason to wrong the child.
Zhou Ling and Daya were persuaded by her, and then they happily took it.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, auntie!"
"Are you asking Miaoya what you want again?"
Shen Yingxue heard the two thanking each other before she entered the door. When she came in, she saw the dolls in their hands and looked at Jiang Miao with disapproval.
"Ling'er already has enough toys. My second brother has made many for her. Ling'er has all kinds of toys. She can't finish playing with them even if they are kept in the box. What else are you going to give her?"
After being told by her mother, Zhou Ling lowered her head and hugged the rabbit tightly in her arms, feeling a little reluctant. Jiang Miao looked at her pitiful appearance and quickly changed the subject.
"If you make too much, they can play with it if they like. Brother Guo will send you away?"
Today is the day when Guo Zhao joins the army. Guo's mother and Shen Yingxue went to see him off early in the morning and came back at noon.
"Well, let's send it off."
Speaking of Guo Zhao, Shen Yingxue forced a smile.
He has been away for two years. It would be great if he could gain fame.
But the battlefield is dangerous, and if something unexpected happens, it will be fatal. Although Shen Yingxue believes that he will protect herself, there have been too many changes in the past two years. No one can guarantee whether Guo Zhao can come back safely. Both she and Guo's mother I have to worry about it all day long.
"Brother Guo is very skilled and has experience as a head catcher. He can also make achievements on the battlefield."
Jiang Miao comforted her a few words, but it was up to Shen Yingxue to adjust whether she could calm down. In the evening, when Shen Yanqing cleared her mind, Jiang Miao talked about it with him.
"Although the border seems to be stable now, several neighboring countries are ready to attack. I don't know if Brother Guo will be in danger if he goes there."
Shen Yanqing was half lying on the bed, with her black hair hanging behind her head, and her white middle coat slightly open, revealing her sexy Adam's apple and delicate collarbone.
After changing into regular clothes, he lost the coldness of the day and became softer. He opened his eyes slightly when he heard Jiang Miao's words. He frowned and pulled up Jiang Miao's quilt without rushing to reply to her. , holding her cold hands in his palms to warm them.
Jiang Miao leaned in his arms and listened to his heartbeat. The man's body became a little stiff. He was silent for a moment and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Since he has chosen to go to the battlefield to gain fame, he is already prepared to encounter danger."
Guo Zhao is not a fool. He knows what he wants and has already made a plan. Unlike Jiang Miao and Shen Yingxue's worries, Shen Yanqing is very relieved about him.
"Well, I'm just afraid that if something happens to him, my eldest sister will be sad..."
Jiang Miao said dullly, but she thought that in the original book, the Yan Dynasty had not encountered any wars in the past few years, and it would only be three years before neighboring countries attacked.
But by that time, Shen Yanqing had already entered the capital. The enemy wanted to invade, but he and the emperor used tactics to repel the enemy. This battle also made Shen Yanqing become the emperor's confidant, paving the way for him to become the chief minister of the dynasty later.
Moreover, there was General Jiang sitting in the court. Jiang Zhe's figure flashed before Jiang Miao's eyes. She only recently figured out who this person was.
There is not much in the original book, except that he is the husband of the eldest princess, he is brave and warlike, and he died in the battle between Chu and Yan three years later.
Jiang Miao's heart ached a little when she thought of this. She bit her lip, wondering what the sudden emotion was about. Shen Yanqing saw her pale face and felt a little panicked, so he reached out and touched her forehead.
"Miaoya, where do you feel pain?"
She looked like she was menstruating a few days ago. Shen Yan calculated that the time had not come yet, but he couldn't guess the cause of the disease, which made him even more flustered.
Jiang Miao calmed down and waited for the pain in her heart to pass. Jiang Miao frowned and could only barely shake her head at the man.
"I guess he was angry thinking about what happened to Brother Guo. If it weren't for Song Lian, he wouldn't have taken the risk and went to the battlefield. In the end, the Song family was unscathed, but Brother Guo and his eldest sister had to live apart because of this..."
She originally wanted to change the topic, but she was really angry when she brought it up. The paleness on her face was replaced by flushing. Shen Yanqing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and her eyes were as dark as ink.
