Chapter 74 The man tonight is a little strange

Mei Guerlain said with a smile: "Those who are capable should work harder."

Wu Moyun took a sip of chicken stewed with mushroom soup, raised his head and asked, "Yueya? Are you asking her to come over?"

Mei Guerlain didn't explain much and just said: "Now she is in my room."

Wu Moyun nodded and stopped caring about this matter.

He took a mouthful of glutinous rice porridge with milk sugar, and his eyes suddenly glanced at the embroidery booth placed on the window edge, and asked: "Did you embroider?"

Mei Jiaolan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm thinking of making a coat for Third Master. I don't know if Third Master will dislike my clumsiness."

Wu Moyun was stunned when he heard this, and saw that although Mei Jiaolan's tone was relaxed, her expression was very sincere and did not look like she was joking.

"Why are you looking at me? There's something on my face?" Mei Jiaolan asked.

"No." Wu Moyun lowered his head and continued eating.

"Does that mean that Third Master thinks I'm stupid?" Mei Jiaolan said in an angry tone.

Wu Moyun raised his head and said, "It's not impossible."

Mei Jiaolan deliberately pretended to be unhappy, "Look at what the third master said, how reluctant he is."

"Okay." Wu Moyun was firm this time, "I'm afraid you'll be tired."

Mei Jiaolan thought to herself, as long as I can break through your defense, I am willing to do it!

"Then it's settled. I've already prepared the satin and thread. All I have to do is tailor the clothes for Mr. San," Mei Guerlain said.

"Measure the body..." Wu Moyun was unprepared and almost choked.

Mei Jiaolan covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Don't you have to have your clothes measured first? Especially the middle coat, it needs to fit perfectly. Otherwise, if you feel uncomfortable wearing it, you might as well not wear it at all!"

After saying this last sentence, Mei Guerlain felt a little strange.

Wu Moyun also felt strange.

The room was quiet for a while. Wu Moyun thought of something and said, "Since you are making clothes for me, what kind of embroidery do you do?"

Mei Jiaolan put down her chopsticks, took the embroidery booth in her hand, and explained: "Although men's clothes are not as colorful and gorgeous as women's clothes, they are still very particular. The patterns on them are mainly about wealth and auspiciousness. If the third master doesn't If you like it to be complicated, then I will embroider with fewer stitches and make it simpler and cleaner."

Wu Moyun said "hmm" and said, "Don't use colorful colors." When he said this, he glanced at the half-formed pattern on the embroidery studio and asked, "Is it a unicorn?"

"Exactly." Mei Jiaolan nodded.

"It doesn't look simple. My mother-in-law must have taught you this." Wu Moyun said smoothly.

Mei Jiaolan was slightly shocked.

Mother-in-law?

When chatting with him before, whenever his mother was mentioned, he would always say "your mother", and whenever his brother was mentioned, he would always say "your brother".

Tonight, it seemed that it was the first time that he called her mother mother-in-law.

"My mother once invited many Suzhou embroiderers to make clothes for my father. I watched and learned a little bit."

Wu Moyun looked into Mei Jiaolan's eyes with piercing eyes, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "You are being too modest, that is definitely not superficial."

Mei Jiaolan felt uncomfortable when the man looked at her like this.

The man tonight is a bit strange.

"Third Master, please don't praise me. It's not too late to praise me again when the clothes are finished." Mei Jiaolan's cheeks turned red, she ate a few chopsticks and said, "As the saying goes, auspicious beasts are like lucky flowers. This auspicious beast is mine." I’ve decided to embroider the unicorn, what kind of flowers should I embroider?”

Wu Moyun didn't think twice and gave the answer directly: "Furong."

Mei Jielan asked: "Lotus? Which kind of lotus is it specifically?" "Lingjian lotus is very good." Wu Moyun put down his chopsticks and looked into Mei Jielan's eyes.

Mei Jiaolan smiled when she heard this, "Is it the Lingjian Lotus that my wife mistakenly thought was a night-blooming night-bloom last time?"

Wu Moyun nodded: "Yes."

"That's good." Mei Jielan said, "Some people mistake it for an ominous flower, but they don't know that it is the most auspicious flower in Buddhist words. They admit their mistake because they are unlucky."

Wu Moyun didn't answer Mei Jiaolan's words. He looked out the window and was lost in thought for a while. He turned around and chanted: "In what year did I welcome Nongyu, and today I got Menglan. I am surprised to be able to smile, and the hibiscus should be seen familiarly."

Mei Jiaolan was reading the ancient poems chanted by Wu Moyun and said with a smile: "I was vulgar just now. The hibiscus is noble and pure, emerging from the mud without being stained. It is the most fascinating. However, if I remember correctly, this is a gift from the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. A poem about the beauty in the palace?”

Wu Moyun curled his lips, said nothing, and continued to eat with his head down.

……

The next day, Yue Ya came to greet Mei Guerlain early.

"My slave, please pay my respects to grandma. I wish your grandma good health and good health!"

Mei Jiaolan was being dressed by Camellia. When she turned around and saw Crescent Moon prostrate on the ground, she hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Yingchun stepped forward, helped Yue Ya up, and said with a smile: "We don't have such big rules in grandma's room."

Mei Jiaolan asked: "Yesterday, did Aunt Wan scold you and hit you?"

Yue Ya answered truthfully: "Yesterday, Aunt Wan scolded the slave a few times, but did not hit the slave. On the contrary..."

"I'll let you clean the toilet." Mei Jiaolan finished her unfinished words for her.

Yue Ya still has lingering fear when she heard the word "toilet". She lowered her head and said, "I don't want to touch that toilet again in my life."

Mei Jiaolan laughed and said, "Come here and you won't have to live so hard."

"Thank you, grandma, for your kindness!"

"What do you know?" Mei Guerlain asked.

When Camellia heard this, she clapped her fingers and said, "This slave can sweep the floor, organize boxes, embroider, and sew clothes..."

"You know how to embroider and sew clothes?" Mei Guerlain looked her up and down and asked, "You are only fourteen and you know how to do this?"

Camellia nodded and said: "The conditions in my slave's family are not good and the population is large, so my mother sent her to learn skills from embroiderers and tailors outside early. At that time, a total of twelve girls went to learn skills, and only one of them was slave. After learning the skills, the slaves began to help my mother with housework. Usually, my mother buys fabrics for the clothes of my father, mother, brothers and sisters, and then asks my slaves to sew them."

Mei Jiaolan felt a little sad after hearing this, and just said: "You are a good person."

After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "I just have to make a coat for the third master. I can't do it alone. You can help me and be my deputy."

That Yueya was not humble at all, so she said, "Thank you, grandma, for your love."

……

After lunch at noon, Wu Moyun and Mei Jiaolan went to the inner room where they slept as agreed.

"Third Master, you don't need to take off your clothes. Just stand still. I'll give you the measurements."

Wu Moyun said "hmm" and stood there awkwardly.

"Third Master, don't be nervous, I'll be fine in a moment."

As he spoke, the woman's hands came through from behind.

Wu Moyun's breath tightened, thinking of the conversation he had with the two boys in Qingfeng Pavilion half an hour ago...
