Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 34 Want to choose a daughter-in-law
Sang Yu nodded lightly and said hello, "Miss Ji, what a coincidence, you are also coming to Su City."

"I'm here to see Jin Bai." Ji Mingzhu said with a smile: "Don't call me Miss Ji. I'll call you by your name. You can also call me Mingzhu."

Sang Yu doesn't think their relationship can allow them to call each other by their first names, so it's better to be polite and keep a distance.

But Ji Mingzhu obviously did not have such awareness, and continued to ask: "Are you here to play?"

Sang Yu had no choice but to find an excuse to end the greeting, "Well, my friend is waiting for me to eat, so we'll leave first."

Ji Mingzhu nodded, "Okay, see you next time."

Sang Yu took Tong Tong and left.

After walking for a while, Tong Tong asked, "Did she just talk about Xi Jinbai?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you and Xi Jinbai together? Then what is their relationship?"

"Be friends."

"Friends? Are they just ordinary friends who scream so loudly?"

Women's intuition is usually very accurate. When Tong Tong saw the woman at first glance, she felt that she was not a good person.

Sang Yu pursed his lips and said, "I believe Xi Jinbai."

She didn't believe Ji Mingzhu, but she believed Xi Jinbai wouldn't do that kind of thing.

Tong Tong pouted, "Okay, Bai Yueguang is the best in your heart, but you should be more careful."

"It's impossible for Xi Jinbai and I to be separated sooner or later." Sang Yu suddenly felt powerless.

Tong Tong knew her too well and immediately asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Sang Yu confessed: "My mother found out."

Tong Tong opened her mouth in surprise, "Ah? How do you know?"

Sang Yu sighed softly, "The neighbor saw me and Xi Jinbai together, and the news reached my mother's ears, which caused her to have a heart attack on the spot."

"Damn, who is so loud? Is it your neighbor? Whose name is Qian?" Tong Tong was indignant.

Sang Yu didn't want to pursue it, "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. I'm already looking for a house. I'll take my mother out after a while and find a place to live closer to the hospital and company."

Tong Tong comforted her: "That's fine. Where there are a lot of people, there's a lot of trouble. Those people are so idle. What's bothering them!"

Didi arrived, and after getting in the car, Tong Tong asked: "Then the aunt forced you to separate?"

Sang Yu said "Hmm" softly, "I still don't know how to talk to Xi Jinbai."

Tong Tong put it bluntly: "It's not that you don't know how to speak, it's that you can't bear to be separated from him."

How could I let it go so easily after loving it for so many years?

Sang Yu fell silent, that was indeed the case.

Tong Tong changed the topic, "Forget it, I don't want to be unhappy. Your main task in coming to Sioux City this time is to finish the embroidery of the cheongsam and then have some fun. The weather forecast says it will snow again in a few days!"

Sang Yu curled his lips, "That's great."

The next morning, Sang Yu made an appointment with teacher Yang Liwen and went to a Suzhou embroidery and textile shop.

Many precious Suzhou embroidery exhibits are displayed here. The person in charge is Mr. Li, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. With his skillful hands, he embroidered countless exquisite works one stitch at a time.

This teacher Li is an old friend of Yang Liwen. He personally entertained them and led them to understand the history and style characteristics of Su embroidery.

Sang Yu was very interested and was amazed by several landscape embroidery pictures, "It turns out that landscapes can distinguish distance from near, and the pavilions can express the depth of the body like this. It's so smart!"

Teacher Li smiled and said, "It seems that you have done your homework."

Sang Yu said sheepishly: "A little bit." "Su embroidery is about meticulous embroidery work, ingenious conception, and elegant colors." Teacher Li asked: "What kind of patterns do you want to embroider?"

Sang Yu quickly took out his drawing from the tote bag and handed it over, "This is it."

Teacher Li put on his glasses and looked at it carefully.

What Sang Yu designed is a new Chinese style cheongsam, which has its own unique innovation. Conventional cheongsams are slim and tight, but what she designed is an open skirt, like the rippling water waves in a lotus pond, full of vitality and life every step of the way. Lotus, the color levels are perfectly grasped.

A phoenix totem, which symbolizes auspiciousness, is painted on the lower part of the chest, instantly adding a soulful touch to the work.

Teacher Li praised: "The painting is indeed very delicate and innovative."

Sang Yu said modestly: "It was Teacher Yang who gave me a lot of guidance."

Yang Liwen smiled and said, "Others dare not take credit, but I feel like I have dug a treasure."

"You always have a good eye for people."

Teacher Li readily agreed to help because she also wanted Su embroidery to be seen by more people.

Sang Yu was very grateful: "Thank you!"

The subsequent communication was also smooth. Because the embroidery pattern is not large, the construction period is not long and can be completed in about half a month.

In the past two days, Sang Yu learned a little bit about embroidery and spinning with a studious spirit. At the same time, he also deeply realized that this kind of delicate and ingenious handwork is really not something ordinary people can do.

After the embroidery matter was resolved, Yang Liwen asked Sang Yu when he planned to return to Hong Kong Island.

"My best friend is also here, so I want to play for two days and then go back."

Yang Liwen mentioned to her: "There will be a dinner party tomorrow night. A master who specializes in designing cheongsam will also attend. If you have time, I will take you with me?"

Sang Yu could only dream of such an opportunity.

"But I didn't prepare a dress."

"Don't worry about this. The most important thing in my house is a dress. Come to my house tomorrow afternoon to pick one out and do some makeup on the way."

"Would that be too much trouble for you?"

Yang Liwen patted her shoulder, "No, it's no trouble. You don't have to be so outspoken with me. Helping you is also helping myself. If you can win the award, then I can also make money as your recommender and mentor." Fame.”

Sang Yu stopped being polite and said, "Okay."

Yang Liwen really liked her and felt that they were in love, so she asked about a more personal topic: "You said last time that you also have a crush, are you together?"

Sang Yu narrowed his eyes and whispered: "It should be impossible for us."

Yang Liwen advised her: "Actually, sometimes it's not good to be too obsessed. If liking someone makes you suffer, then you should learn to let go."

"Ah."

Sang Yu understands that this is the truth, but feelings are often uncontrollable.

Yang Liwen said lively: "When you figure it out and come out, tell me and I will introduce it to you. It is absolutely reliable."

"Okay." Sang Yu arched his eyebrows and smiled, "By the way, Teacher Yang, what kind of dinner is it?"

Yang Liwen explained: "She was a previous customer of mine. I heard that her son was coming back soon to take over the family business, so I specially held a dinner to let everyone get to know each other in advance. She probably also wanted to choose a daughter-in-law. I heard her mention it last time. "

Sang Yu understood and didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, Tong Tong took him to nearby attractions for most of the day. The weather was pretty good these days.

Strangely enough, it stopped snowing as soon as Sang Yu came to Sioux City.
