Fields of Gold

After a while, Yu Xiaoxue felt her movements were getting stiff. Sister Kang only studied her clothes thoroughly. Sister Jiang sighed slowly and returned to the guest table. She picked up the cup and drank a shallow sip. “Master Yu, I don't know if I can tell the Nu family. Who designed the clothes on you? ”

Yu Xiaograss also took a deep breath, with a stiff smile on his face. “Everyone's welcome, Jiang, you should call me by my name. The word 'Master Yu’ always feels like someone else is calling my father! ”

Sister Jiang smiled softly. “Since Miss Yu is a refreshing person, I won't ask for any favors. How old am I? If Miss Yu doesn't dislike it, call me Sister Kang! ”

“Sister Kang, you don't want any more girls left. If our sisters are right, just call me Little Grass Sister.” Yu Xiaocao smiled sweetly, a delightful expression, not because he was an official, the other party was a businessman, but slightly underestimated.

Sister Kang's heart relaxed completely. It is said that Yu grown-ups started out in business. Indeed, she is not like the general lady of the government. She wants to benefit from her, but she despises the people who do business from her heart. Nor do they think that without the businessmen in this capital, they, the so-called nobles of the officials, would be incapable...

“Sister Kang, how can you teach me how to climb the door?” Yu Xiaocao already had a few guesses, but asked a question.

Sister Jiang smiled with a slight embarrassment. "Sister Grass, let me tell you something, I'm here for the look of your clothes. Such clothes as yours never seem to have appeared in Kyocho. I don't know where you got it. ”

Yu Xiaocao smiled. "My clothes, which were supposed to go with pants, made it easy to walk between the fields. Look at these narrow sleeves. It's easier to work in the field, isn't it? However, it was rude to come out and dress in pants, and people made these pleated skirts. It's narrower up and down and wider, doesn't it? ”

The lady at the side of the house snorted and laughed: "You are a shameless woman. In front of everyone who makes clothes, Ben also dares to axe the door. How can you bring something out and meet someone? ”

Sister Kang hastily said: "Madam, you are too modest! Little Grass sister's clothes, although they don't have large sleeves and large skirts, are simply sophisticated. I should have thought that, when magnificent and complex, it was time to rebut the truth and move in the direction of simplicity. Little Grass opened a new window of design for me, adding a lot of inspiration. My sister is such a princess! I don't know, sister. How did you know to make a dress like this? ”

Looking at the thriving Fourth Lady Kang, Mrs. Fang smiled in her heart: The rumor is true, this Fourth Lady Kang is an idiot. And it's because of this kind of "insanity” that you can fully invest in one side of the world, right?

“You and your sisters are chatting, and I have some business to do behind me, so I'm done.” Madam, if you see the girls talking speculatively, stop standing here on your own. Her daughter made friends with everyone, and she naturally enjoyed seeing them. Not all of them were made for Sister Kang's hand-sewn clothes. More importantly, she wanted to enable Grass to contact more people in Beijing and meet more friends.

The so-called famous doorstep shows in Beijing are blind and arrogant, and look down on the little grass from the farm. Sometimes sarcasm comes into her ears from her daughter's words. For this reason, the wife broke up with several families.

I don't know what those little ladies deserve to be proud of. Bard poetry, vegan, red, nose over your head? They are better merchants like Si Niang! At least people bring her gorgeous clothes with their crafts, their own labor! Why do you look down on other people when you have no contribution to make to them?

The lady was delighted to see her daughter, who was very happy to talk to Sister Kang. Only those who appreciate their daughters' abilities are worthy to interact with them. So, what about the so-called celebrity shows, their words, their senses?

Sister Jiang politely stood up with Xiaograss and escorted the lady into the inner courtyard, then held her hand and couldn't wait to ask: “Tell me! Where did you get that idea? ”

Yu Xiaograss thought about it and said: “My aunt used to marry in the northeastern mountains, where there was a people called Manchu. Most of them wore clothes like mine, called ‘flag clothes', not the ‘riding’ of horses, but the 'flag clothes' of flags. These clothes are not only simple and convenient, they also save fabric! ”

Sister Jiang's face looked like she was talking to herself: “It turns out it's someone else's costume! I heard that in the northwest side of the Hu people, the clothes are very distinctive, the veil is very pretty. Opportunity, I really want to walk around, look at the outside world, not exhaust the inspiration...”

“Yes! Reading 10,000 volumes is not as good as traveling 10,000 miles, that's the truth! I heard that there are people in the southwest, dressed in silver, the clothes on the body are dyed in a special way, very smelly... If I had the chance, I would also like to follow our fleet of Da Ming to the West. People over there are said to have white skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, curly hair on one side, isn't that interesting?” None of Yu Xiaoxue has snuck out of the country, and although there is little hope, she still wants to go out and see it.

Sister Jiang opened her surprised eyes and covered her mouth with her hands. “Blue eyes, yellow hair, or curly hair? How... like a legendary monster. Is there someone like that? ”

“Of course!! The Emperor and the King of Yangshen have both been in the West and have met foreigners. Not only do they have yellow hair, but they also have red hair! They look different from us, and they say different things from us. I don't know how the Emperor and the Yangshen Kings communicate with foreigners! The costumes of foreigners are very different from ours. If you have the chance, you can ask the fleet to get us some foreigners' clothes and refer to their style!” Yu Xiaowei is a little strange.

However, Daming's ocean boats are now under the control of the Yangxian King. As long as she opens her mouth, let alone get some clothes, it is to bring back all the strange things in the West. Zhu Junyang is also willing.

“That's great! I really want to walk around and look around...” Sister Kang's expression at this time, like a young girl full of vision and aspirations, has no so-called feeling of embroidery.

Yu Xiaoxue looked at her and suddenly felt how happy it was to have dreams. What's her dream? Cultivating high-yielding food to feed the population? Too tall, this should be the ideal of the superior, it has nothing to do with her being a sesame officer. Making lots and lots of money to make a good life for your family? Looks like she's not really short of money right now, and her family's life is getting better! What exactly is her ideal? I really need to get this straight!

Sister Kang, pack up your mood and ask for something practical first. She asked herself carefully about the concept of "flag clothing," but herbs also knew half of it, and six tips for making clothes - none.

“Can you paint the impression of the flag in your head and show it to your sister?” Sister Kang found this more intuitive.

Yu Xiaograss was somewhat embarrassed: “I don't know how to draw, I'm afraid to draw by then. He doesn't look like a human being, ghosts don't look like ghosts, make my sister laugh. Well, I'll dictate it, you paint it, it's easier. ”

The two men moved into the garden of Xiaograss, and the pen ink paper yam from the outer courtyard. Si Niang's maid waited for the ink to be ground. Yu Xiaograss slowly introduced her to the style of flag packing she knew.

For Qing Dynasty clothing, it is not unfamiliar to enjoy watching Qing Dynasty film and television dramas such as "A Herald", "XX Surprise" and "XX Month Positive Circle".

Clothes with long, foot tops similar to cheongsams of future generations, plus a shoulder covering. The design of the collar varies, with saddle-shaped cheeks facing each other, round collars, and similar small lapels. Tops come in several different forms, including a walnut, a large flap, and a pair of collars. Skirts or trousers that match them are decorated with techniques such as printing, embroidery and tapestry. The collar, collar and sleeves are decorated with methods such as setting, rolling, embroidery, two to three fake sleeves, and horseshoe sleeves cover hands...

It has to be said that Sister Kang has definitely had something on her costume. As long as Grass can say one or two, she can lift it upside down and draw a brighter blueprint than the heart of Grass. A different shape, not to mention beautiful drawings came out. Sister Kang's eyes were full of pride, and she complained a little arrogantly: “Miss, if you want to paint with our paint, it will work better. ”

Yu Xiaograss pointed to a blouse that was over her knees and was decorated with a large set of rolls. Sometimes she added sixteen to twenty floating strips to her skirt. "This suit will look great on my godmother! It's cold, you can adorn the neck and cuffs with some fox fur, warm and beautiful..."

After months of inspiration, Sister Kang seemed to have a vent, drawing more than a dozen stylish flag drawings in a row. Some of them were drawn according to Little Grass's words, but also her own understanding and thoughts, innovations. Each one is unique, exquisite and exquisite, looking at a picture of clothing, as if it were a novel and distinct set of clothing, presented in front of it.

Looking at a blueprint, Sister Kang felt itchy and couldn't wait to go back and turn these drawings into a beautiful set of clothes.

Sister Kang laughed when she heard Xiaograss say that: “Sister Xiaograss's eyes are truly unique. I designed this dress in the original shape of the lady's body. Xiang, help the lady to measure the size later. In two days, follow the drawings, and my sister will come to visit me again. Then, let the lady try to fit in. ”

Yu Xiaoxue knew that Godmother had long wanted to own a garment made by Sister Kang herself. She hastily agreed and thanked him: “Then there's Sister Lau! ”
