Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 11 The Passionate Young Master
The eldest wife of the Zhao family looked like a shrewd and powerful woman, dressed elegantly and luxuriously, with slender and slightly raised eyebrows, her face was rosy white, her smile was half-hearted, and there were a few crow's feet in the corners of her eyes.

Ye Zijin suddenly understood the reason why Mama Yu had the confidence to run rampant in the Zhao family.

"Master Shen is here. I heard that your cheongsam making skills are among the best in Shanghai. I invite you here today and make me a cheongsam too." The eldest lady said politely.

Master Shen said: "Ma'am, you're flattering me. I'm just relying on this skill to make a living. As for being the best in anything, I really don't dare to be the best."

Master Shen took out the tape measure from the box and began to measure the body for the eldest wife, while Ye Zijin recorded the data beside her.There are 36 places to be measured from top to bottom of the whole body, Ye Zijin sighed inwardly for the fine craftsmanship of the cheongsam.

After measuring her body, an old woman came to help the eldest lady sit on the couch to rest.The eldest lady suddenly said: "I just remembered that I have a piece of high-quality material here, and I want to use it to make a cheongsam this time. I don't know if it can catch Master Shen's eyes." Then she said to the old woman beside her, "Mother Yu, Go and get that cloud brocade. By the way, where did Guangyao go? You saw him and asked him to come over."

Mama Yu lowered her eyebrows and said, "Eldest Young Master left early in the morning, and probably won't come back until nightfall."

The eldest lady sighed, and waved to Mama Yu to signal her to go on.

Master Shen made a bow and said: "The brocade is very precious, Mrs. Xie thinks so highly of old people." After speaking, he winked at Ye Zijin, and Zijin immediately agreed to follow Mama Yu to get the brocade.

Mama Yu took Ye Zijin to a storage room, and Ye Zijin politely waited outside the door.

Suddenly, I heard a woman's cry for help from the next room. Although the voice was a bit intermittent, Ye Zijin could hear it clearly standing outside the door!
The more Ye Zijin listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and walked lightly to the door of the next room.I saw that the door was not completely closed, leaving a gap.

Through the crack of the door, Ye Zijin saw a man flirting with Cai'e, the servant girl who bumped into the Second Young Master just now.Cai'e struggled to break free from the man's hand covering her mouth, and just after crying a few times, her mouth was covered again.Most of her blouse had been ripped off, revealing a red bellyband.

The dignified Zhao family has such a dirty beast!Ye Zijin was about to push the door open, but hesitated again, after all, she was not from the Zhao family, so it was not appropriate to break in like this.She could only walk back to the door of the storage room, wandering in her heart.If I don't stop it, I'm afraid my conscience will be disturbed. If I go, I'm afraid it will make it difficult for Master.

Just when Ye Zijin was in conflict, a brightly dressed woman happened to pass by, heard the commotion inside, pushed the door open and entered without thinking.

Then there was a quarrel inside, and there seemed to be a movement of pulling.

Ye Zijin was about to go over to see what was going on, but saw the woman who had just entered was pushed out and fell to the ground, her elbow was scratched and was still bleeding.

Ye Zijin hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, took out a handkerchief and covered her bleeding wound.

This woman doesn't look like a maid, but looks like a young lady of the Zhao family.There seemed to be tears in her eyes, she glanced at Ye Zijin as if she had been wronged, and said softly, "Thank you."

At this time, a man in a silk shirt rushed out from the room just now, his hair was shiny, and before he could button up his chest, he began to curse: "Stinky girl, what's your business, get out of here!"

The girl stood up and did not show weakness, "Brother, Cai'e is your mother's servant girl. People say that rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest. If you do this, Dad will be angry."

The man became more angry when he heard this, and shouted: "Don't use your father to oppress me. Since you are my mother's maid, it's not your turn to do what I want to do. Zhao Zhimei, you'd better shut up and go back." Go to the third aunt, don't let me see you again."

At this time, Mama Yu came out with the brocade and saw that the young master of the Zhao family was getting angry. She glanced at the disheveled and shivering little maid in the room, and hurried over to persuade her, "Oh, my little ancestor, why did you make such a big fuss?" Huo, did some girl make you angry? Don't worry, I will take care of her. Just now, the eldest lady was still talking about you, young master, so follow me up to see your wife."

Eldest Young Master Zhao let out a "bah", spit out a mouthful of saliva, buttoned his chest, and said, "That little bitch Cai'e bumped into me, Mama Yu, you know what to do."

Mama Yu nodded again and again, "I know, I know..."

Before the young master of the Zhao family left, he inadvertently glanced at Ye Zijin beside Zhao Zhimei. Seeing that Ye Zijin was born fair and delicate, with a refined temperament, he couldn't help but take another look.

Ye Zijin also followed Mama Yu back to the eldest wife's room.

As soon as Young Master Zhao entered the room, the eldest wife got up and walked over, pulling him to sit with him, "Guangyao, where have you been, don't always think about playing for a day, go to the company and the factory more, even if It's just to show your father a show and make him happy. Your father is not in good health, so don't keep making him angry."

"I see, mother." Zhao Guangyao became a good son in a second.

Ye Zijin stood next to her master calmly, she noticed that Zhao Guangyao was always looking at her, so she hastily lowered her head.This kind of playboy Ye Zijin has been seen a lot when running the streets, and this one in front of him is even more excellent.

After the master and the eldest wife discussed the style and some details of the cheongsam, Ye Zijin followed the master and left the Zhao family.

On the way, I heard from my master that the Zhao family is a big weaver in Shanghai, and there are two textile factories alone.

Ye Zijin couldn't help recalling that when Aunt Zhou first came to Shanghai, she also worked as a textile worker in a weaving factory of Zhao's. Before she died of illness, Aunt Zhou told Ye Zijin not to work in Zhao's.

Now that he met the people of the Zhao family, Ye Zijin could somewhat guess the reason.But the sensible young lady and the second young master I met at Zhao's house today are very nice people.
