my awesome king

Chapter 18

During this period of time, Mu Shuiqing came up with strange ideas from time to time, which is both novel and special in Xixia Kingdom. Zhang Kugua's face suddenly became beaming every day.

However, the other three shopkeepers were all dissatisfied. Seeing that it will arrive in January, their three shops are mediocre, so they are doomed!So, they immediately invited Mu Shuiqing, saying that they want to compete fairly, and asked Mu Shuiqing to give their half-dead shop an idea.

Mu Shuiqing first came to shopkeeper Zhao's cloth village.Buzhuang Buzhuang is really vulgar.Mu Shuiqing decided to come up with a new name first to make Shopkeeper Zhao's cloth shop stand out among the many shops.After much deliberation, I decided to name it Yiyibushe, which is a homonym for "Yiyibushe", which means to make customers reluctant to leave and linger!

In addition to weaving cloth, ancient cloth shops also helped people cut clothes.Xixia's costumes are like Hanfu in ancient China. Mu Shuiqing used to think that it was the most beautiful and the most slender.The original tailors in the cloth shop were very skillful, but the business was flat mainly because all the cloth shops were similar, popular cloth, old-fashioned design, and the same price, so everyone chose the nearest one.

"If the princess has any good idea, just say it. The little one will definitely follow the instructions of the princess! So I hope that the princess will save this cloth shop..."

Regarding Manager Zhao's request, Mu Shuiqing was a little embarrassed.She really doesn't know anything about fashion design. Although she can steal the crystallization of modern wisdom, she can't think of anything if she thinks about it.

One day, Mu Shuiqing felt that the weather was too hot, so she drew a sketch of a short-sleeved skirt and sent it to the cloth shop. After a few days, the tailor made it out, and she happily put it on, feeling refreshed immediately .Mu Shuiqing originally thought that it would be better to use this to bring forth the new, and short sleeves are the best in summer.But on the way out of the house, she was pointed and pointed at all the way, and when she was so embarrassed, she just wanted to show off in front of Ji Xiaomo and spun around twice, Ji Xiaomo already had a sullen face, took off her coat and put it on her body.

He frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "How come the cloth shop is so tight that you can save even a few pieces of cloth! Could it be that you have been greedy for money again?"

Mu Shuiqing was ashamed, she explained for a long time, and saw that Ji Xiaomo still frowned and objected, only to find that it was more difficult for ancient people to get used to women showing their arms and legs.So this big plan died before it was born...

Mu Shuiqing scratched his head and scratched his head, and one day he suddenly thought of a cheongsam!In the Qing Dynasty, the flag dress was wide and straight, without revealing the figure, with long trousers inside, and embroidered trousers can be seen at the slits.Most of the fabrics are thick brocade or other jacquard fabrics, and the decoration is cumbersome.During the period of the Republic of China, the cheongsam was improved, and the cheongsam was opened and waisted to show the figure or feminine curves.Underpants and stockings, legs exposed at the slits.The fabric is lighter and thinner, the number of printed fabrics is increased, and the decoration is simpler.

Since the ancient people were not used to showing their arms and legs, it is better to combine the cheongsams of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China to start making cheongsams with long sleeves, a front, a collar and no slits. The most important thing is to close the waist!

Ancient costumes have always been wide, with wide sleeves and wide hem. Wearing a piece of clothing is complicated and cumbersome, requiring several sets of clothes.Women have always loved beauty, and men also love beauty.Dressed so heavily, wrapped like a rice dumpling.Clothes with a narrow waist can better reflect a woman's beautiful body, which is plump and soft, luxurious and elegant, and can also make a man more sexual.

Mu Shuiqing loved cheongsams before, so he collected a few of them, and he especially likes to wear them during Chinese New Year.I think it is best to wear distinctive clothes during Chinese festivals.Recalling the details of the cheongsam now, although it is difficult, it is not impossible!Thinking of this, Mu Shuiqing acted instantly and began to draw a sketch.

"The advantages of cheongsam are lightness, coolness, beauty and practicality." Mu Shuiqing explained excitedly to the tailor with a sketch.

The pictures drawn by Mu Shuiqing are very abstract, and it took a long time for the tailors to understand.After looking at each other for a few times, they were all very excited, and they had heated discussions with Mu Shuiqing.

It was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured down on the ground. The man reclined on the couch, holding a book in his hand, looked indifferent.If you observe carefully, you can see the man's slightly raised eyebrows and long black hair scattered all over the ground, like an ink scroll painting.

When he heard someone pushing the door open, the corners of his lips slightly raised on his handsome face, but when he raised his head and saw Qing Zhu entering with the medicine, the smile on the corners of his mouth subconsciously subsided.

Qingzhu stayed by his side for more than ten years, how could she not see the slight change in his expression.She sighed softly and said, "The prince is missing?"

Seeing that Ji Xiaomo was silent, she murmured: "That's right, in the past, now is the time for the princess to come back. It's just that the princess has recently become obsessed with making clothes, and she just sent someone to inform that she will be back later tonight."

When Ji Xiaomo heard about it, he said, "Make clothes again? Every time you make some messy clothes, showing your arms and legs, and you still want to wear them now?... Let her take care of everything about the shop. What's the use of those shopkeepers! It's better to withdraw..."

How could Qingzhu fail to hear his subtext, it was because she felt sorry for the concubine who was working outside every day. "If the prince doesn't like it, the servant will send someone to invite the princess back early, so that the prince won't have to wait..."

Ji Xiaomo said angrily: "Qing Zhu, I'm not waiting for her. If you talk too much, I will ask Bai Ye to take you away as soon as possible."

This awkward prince didn't realize what he was thinking, after Qingzhu sighed, he could only shut up obediently.

The first cheongsam was finished two days later, and it was made of relatively high-grade brocade, which cost ten silver for just one piece.Although it was more expensive than ordinary clothes, Mu Shuiqing immediately felt a special difference when he wore them.Soft texture, light and non-sticky, comfortable and cool.She gave it a good review right away.

Seeing her beautiful self in the mirror, the first thing Mu Shuiqing thought of was Ji Xiaomo.His clothes were severely criticized by him in the past few times, but now, his jaw must have dropped in shock.Thinking in this way, she happily rode the carriage and returned to the palace two hours earlier than usual, ready to surprise Ji Xiaomo and praise herself.

When passing by the corridor, Mu Shuiqing was slightly surprised to see Zhuyue holding a medicine bowl at the door of the bedroom with an anxious expression on her face.When she asked, she found out that Zhuyue and Lanyue were originally responsible for the torment, and Qingzhu handed the medicine bowl to the prince. Now Qingzhu is gone, and the prince is in the book pavilion again.There is a special rule in the Book Pavilion, no one else is allowed to enter without the order of the prince, and those who disobey the order will be kicked out of the palace.Seeing that the time for the prince to drink medicine is about to pass, what should I do...

"It's easy, give me the medicine bowl, I'm just looking for the prince." Mu Shuiqing reached out to take the medicine bowl.

"But..." Zhuyue hesitated, "Princess, there is a book pavilion, there is no order from the prince..."

"I'm the princess!" Mu Shuiqing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Without the order of the prince, would I be kicked out of the palace if I went to the Book Pavilion? Okay, okay, I will give the medicine to the prince." Take it, you all rest."

Seeing that Zhuyue was still hesitating, Mu Shuiqing sighed, "What's wrong?"

Zhuyue blushed and said: "Wangfei's clothes are so beautiful, this is the first time I see...is it a gift from the emperor?"

"No, I designed it myself. It's called a cheongsam." Being praised, Mu Shuiqing immediately floated up, "When Yiyibushe is on the track and the cheongsam is launched, I will give you one."

Zhuyue happily said: "Thank you, Princess."

Shuge is located in a remote and quiet place in the Wangfu, with pear trees standing gracefully along the way, with elegant flowers.The breeze blows, overflowing with a light and comfortable fragrance of flowers.Shuge is called Shuge because there are thousands of books in it.And Ji Xiaomo would stay there for a whole day every five days, which shows how much he likes to read.

Mu Shuiqing called several times at the door of the Book Pavilion, but Ji Xiaomo did not come out.She took a few steps forward, pushed the door open and entered, and said, "It's not good for you to miss the medicine...Since you ignore me, I can only come in by myself..."

Mu Shuiqing originally thought that he would see a large number of books and ancient scrolls, but what he saw was a different scene: the room was full of hanging scrolls of a woman, the girl gradually grew into a young girl, or sat quietly, or laughed, or pouted Lips, or angry, or front, or profile, or back... the one facing the door, the girl in the painting is drawn with heavy ink, with colorful clothes, dancing under the pear tree, with blue hair and beautiful face, charming and graceful, There are light-colored petals floating all around, which is too beautiful to behold.The slight smile on the corner of her mouth, like a stunning peony, blooms in the hearts of those who appreciate the painting.

There is a row of small characters on the scroll: peonies are beautiful, Yingluo is floating away - Xiaomo.Xia Ji 35 years.

In the 35th year of Xia Ji, it was the year when the first king died three years ago and the new emperor came to the throne.

Mu Shuiqing restrained his thoughts, took a step inward, and was attracted by the table placed in the corner of the wall. There was a chessboard stained with layers of ash on the table.Mu Shuiqing was attracted to this chessboard because everything in the house was clean, except that the chessboard was covered with dust and cobwebs.That thick layer, let alone a few years.

The chessboard is still lined with the confrontation of the year, black and white twins, it is Go.Although Mu Shuiqing doesn't understand Go, he can also see that the white pieces in the game are pushed to the end.

Mu Shuiqing thought of what Qingzhu said before, that Ji Xiaomo used to be crazy about chess.But what exactly happened that year made him throw his most beloved chessboard into the corner and ignore it.

Mu Shuiqing touched the chess pieces curiously, only to find that the chess pieces were strongly stuck to the board.Why did Ji Xiaomo do this to keep the chessboard as it was back then?What is the meaning of this chess game?

Is it the last game between Ji Xiaomo and his beloved woman?
She raised her head and reached out to caress the lifelike picture scroll. The side face is so beautiful, one can imagine the front.Ji Xiaomo would come to the bookstore every five days, not because he was addicted to the sea of ​​books, but because he was addicted to the memories of the past.

Why did Ji Xiaomo miss such a beautiful woman?Could it be because of Ji Xiaomo's leg disease?
"Who told you to come in!" When Mu Shuiqing was dreaming, an angry shout came from the door, which made her almost lose her grip on the medicine bowl in her hand.
