Chapter 147 Three Letters (Part [-])
(Second more)

In Yongfu Lane, an unattractive, thin and short half-old man staggered into an old house, and just as he closed the door, Mrs. Lan rushed out from a corner, knocked on the door quickly, and asked He said, "Excuse me, is Mr. Bai there?"

The half-aged man who had just entered the door turned around unexpectedly and found that the servant standing at the door was very strange and he did not know him, so he winked at the apprentice who opened the door and signaled the apprentice to send the strange servant away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Lan quickly inserted her arm into the crack of the door, squeezed her whole body in, and said loudly, "Mr. Bai, I recognize you."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the half-old man known as Bai Laosan couldn't help but frowned unhappily: "Who are you?"

Aunt Lan took out a letter from her bosom and handed it over: "My master asked me to deliver a letter to you, saying that I must deliver it to you by hand."

Bai Laosan looked at Aunt Lan coldly with his hands folded, and was unwilling to accept the letter. Since he became famous, countless people wanted to ask him to help him make clothes, but he only had one pair of hands, how could he handle it?So he was only a regular customer and did not take orders from strangers, but these people always tried their best to please him, and the methods were endless, which was hard to guard against.

I thought it would be easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. Sister Lan asked anxiously, "Mr. Bai, you don't accept letters, but you want to be that ungrateful person?"

"Where did the crazy woman come from?" The apprentices couldn't help being furious when they saw Mrs. Lan attacking their respected master for no reason. They were about to drive Mrs. Lan out when Bai Laosan said calmly, "Bring the letter here."

An apprentice held back his anger and stepped forward to receive the letter, but Mrs. Lan avoided him, strode up to Lao San Bai, and stubbornly handed the letter over.Bai Laosan glanced at her, stretched out his hand to take the letter, and after tearing open the envelope, he didn't look at the front content, but first looked at the signature of the writer.

The delicate pink rouge printed a very beautiful seal script the size of a grain of rice on the paper: "An".There was a breeze blowing, and the faint and quiet rose fragrance came to the nostrils.

Bai Laosan's hands, which were very stable in cutting fabrics and threading needles, couldn't help trembling slightly. He read the contents of the letter from beginning to end calmly, raised his head and looked at Sister Lan with sharp eyes and said: " Your master wants to take away the dress from me?"

Sister Lan didn't know what was in the letter at all, she nodded and shook her head: "I can't read, so whatever is written in my master's letter is what it is."

There was a bit of struggle in Bai Laosan's eyes, after all, he carefully put the letter into his sleeve, turned around and walked into the room.

Sister Lan didn't know whether the matter was completed or not, so she stayed for a while and decided to wait for a reply.

Bai Laosan slowly took out a letter from a locked drawer, carefully unfolded the letter paper, and then took out the new letter he got in his sleeve, and carefully compared the names of the writers of the two letters—both are rouge. The printed seal character "An" the size of a grain of rice is as beautiful as the juice of a crabapple flower inadvertently printed on the paper. It is light and faint, as if it will be wiped off if you are not careful, but Bai Laosan knows that this This kind of special rouge is not for women to dress up, but it is a special thing that is popular privately among ladies of noble families. It is comparable to the most expensive top-quality ink, and it will become newer with time after going through wind and rain.

Finally came, Bai Laosan sighed silently, walked to the big cabinet erected by the south wall, slowly opened the cabinet door, revealing the crimson, primrose, blue, ivory white color schemes hanging inside in sequence. Four dresses in stunning sheer shades, glides on like water with a silk sheen.Seeing these four sets of exquisite dresses that took him a lot of painstaking effort, Bai Laosan's eyes showed a very obsessed look.

It took almost five years for these four sets of skirts to go from cutting to completion, and then being hidden in the cabinet in obscurity.Each set of skirts is a high-quality product, which consumes a lot of his painstaking efforts and energy.Different from other clients whose size he had visually inspected or even personally measured, the client who asked him to make these four dresses only gave him one size from the first contact, and refused to meet him, let alone let him get close Body measurement.Originally, he did not accept this kind of order, because it could not make the most perfect fit clothes, but when he saw this size, he made an exception for the first time, for no other reason, just because the size was too perfect, let alone The price given by the other party is high enough.Since then, the relationship between supply and demand has been very stable until the other party ordered these four sets of dresses.

The clothing material was provided by the other party, which was very precious and rare and beautiful. He had always longed to see the dresses he made on that person one day with his own eyes.But after the skirt was finished, no one came to pick it up. He thought that no one would come to pick it up again. He was both disappointed and delighted. The disappointment was that he would never be able to recognize this perfect natural clothes hanger, and the secret joy was that he would be able to take it These gorgeous and incomparable dresses are collected as masterpieces of his heyday, and will be used as a memory when he is old and dazzled and can no longer do it.

Unfortunately, the owner of the dress finally came.

Bai Laosan sat in front of the cabinet and looked at the four dresses in a daze, even reluctant to reach out and touch them, for fear that his fingertips would be too rough and destroy their perfection.

"Master?" His most beloved disciple looked at the four sets of skirts in amazement, and reluctantly said: "It's so beautiful...the person who took the skirts is here?"

Bai Laosan sighed lightly, as depressed and sad as if he was about to lose his lover: "It's better to wrap it up and send it out, so let Xiao Twelve follow this woman quietly, and see where she goes with the clothes."

They just make clothes, and they have never done anything like following customers to inquire about their privacy.The disciple was inexplicably surprised, but seeing Bai Laosan's distraught appearance, he didn't express any doubts, but responded softly: "Yes."

Mrs. Lan looked at the two camphorwood boxes in surprise, and couldn't help feeling flustered. She knew that Anyi had never paid for this family's products before, and if the family wanted her to pay, she didn't have enough money. .Before she waited for Ai Ai to express her meaning, the apprentices had already carefully loaded the two boxes onto her car parked at the entrance of the alley.

"Let's go. The clothes are already given to you, what are you still doing here?" The apprentice who didn't let Sister Lan in before drove her away impatiently.

Anyway, An Yi is taking care of all the big things, so if it doesn't work, she can go to Xie Mantang.Aunt Lan got into the car and told the driver Gu Da to go towards Baiyun Hutong, but she didn't notice that there was a tail behind her.

Mrs. Wu, who lived in Baiyun Hutong, had finished her day's work. As soon as she sat down and took up her job, she heard someone calling her outside the door: "Mother Wu, Mother Wu, are you home? A sister-in-law is looking for you."
