Noble Lady

Chapter 111: Tailoring New Clothes

When Xue Chenyu came out of the house, she saw two maids, Yuzhu and Yumei, sitting on the newly built swing, one crying loudly and the other running around anxiously.

"What happened?" Xue Chenyu walked over quickly.

Whenever Yuzhu feels any disturbance, she will recall the scene in her previous life where she stood in front of him and had a cold knife pierce her heart, and she will feel terrible.

"Girl, I just..." Yumei felt she had nothing to say. "If I had known, I wouldn't have asked about Litchi. It's all my fault."

When Xue Chenyu heard the word "litchi", she understood and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She took out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe Yuzhu's tears.

"Okay, I know you feel bad for me, but you don't have to cry like this. You're such a beautiful girl, but it wouldn't look good with tears all over your face."

Yuzhu suddenly burst into laughter and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "Miss, why are you teasing me again?"

Xue Chenyu asked her with a smile, "I'm going to the Jinyi Pavilion later to check out the new clothes I made for the guest of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng last time. If you still look like this, I'll take Qiuhua and Yumei with me."

"I'll go wash my face right away!"

Yuzhu shouted and ran away without a trace.

Xue Chenyu couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at her back.

Turning around, he saw the lychees in the small backpack on the ground, and another small basket made of bamboo to hold the lychee shells. He tactfully told Yumei that she could eat more if she liked and there was no need to worry about these.

Yumei could only honestly say that she already knew.

But I couldn't help but think that He Minzhi was simply blind.

"That He Minzhi is such a fool. He missed such a good girl and treated those dead fish eyes as pearls."

"You girl."

Xue Chenyu was amused by her.

"Girl, believe me, he will regret it deeply in the future."

If such a beautiful, rich, kind-hearted and capable girl were to marry her uncle, she would have endless delicious food to eat and beautiful clothes to wear in the future.

Just thinking about it made her laugh so hard that she would wake up from her dreams.

Thinking of this, she looked at Xue Chenyu and smiled foolishly again.

After Yuzhu washed her face and changed into clean clothes, they set off.

Nowadays, Xue Chenyu rarely goes through the He Mansion when traveling.

This yard was originally an independent yard adjacent to the He family. She bought it for her wedding and specially opened a door in the adjacent wall.

That door was temporarily blocked and could not be opened, so she went through the original main door.

Jinyi Pavilion.

The batch of clothes that Manager Wang and Sanniang had personally taken to Lingxin Villa on the outskirts of the city were basically ready.

Xue Chenyu brought Yumei over to ask her to help try on clothes.

The delivery is about to begin, so if there is anything inappropriate, we can change it quickly.

So when they arrived, Shopkeeper Wang warmly entertained Yumei and asked her to try it.

"Girl, can I do this?"

"It's just to help me try out the size of the clothes. It's not difficult at all. Go ahead and try it. If you do a good job, I'll ask Sanniang to make you a set of clothes too."

Yumei's eyes lit up immediately, "Really?"

"Well, I saw it last time. The girl's body shape is quite similar to yours. After loosening up a bit, she's even closer to you, so it's most suitable for you to try it on."

Just like that, Yumei went in reluctantly.

But she felt scared, and because she was not familiar with the tailor Sanniang, she did not dare to take off her clothes in front of her, and forced Yuzhu to accompany her.

After changing into her first pink jacket and skirt, Xue Chenyu said that the dress was half an inch too narrow and would look better if it was a little looser.

Yumei tugged at her sleeves, looking very uncomfortable, and was soon dragged in by Yuzhu to try on the second outfit.

Sanniang quickly came out with two sets of sizes.

"Boss, look."

One group was measured earlier using the timid little girl as a substitute in Lingxin Villa, and then relaxed;

One set was just measured for Yumei.

The two sets of sizes are almost identical, the only difference being that Yumei's waist is half an inch thicker.

Even if it is said that the same person has gained a little weight, no one will doubt it.

Xue Chenyu took a quick look. She was someone who looked at account books all year round, and the two sets of sizes were quickly imprinted in her mind.

"I understand. I'll have to trouble Sanniang to choose a piece of fabric for her to make a summer dress."

"clear."

Sanniang went back again.

Xue Chenyu picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. This girl Yumei was indeed not an ordinary person.

Yumei was pulled by Yuzhu to try on all five sets of clothes.

The conclusion is that the waist can be loosened by half an inch.

However, girls of his age, twelve or thirteen, don't have a waistline, and they still have baby fat, so if the size is a little loose, it will be relatively comfortable to wear.

As for little girls, they are always cute when they are a little round.

Yumei had a bitter face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

When she knew Sanniang said she would take her to choose fabrics, she woke up from her dream, and then she was overjoyed and said happily that she also wanted new clothes.

"This little girl is really..." Yuzhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

In her eyes, Yumei is just an innocent little girl.

It was probably like how Xue Chenyu looked at her.

Xue Chenyu: "You can go and choose some clothes later and make two sets. I see that you have grown a lot taller. The clothes you wore last year are a little small this year."

"Ah?" Yuzhu waved her hands hurriedly. "That's inappropriate, young lady. I, I can do it myself. And, and Jinyi Pavilion..."

The most important thing is that Sanniang is the best tailor in Jinyi Pavilion. There are so many people lining up outside to have Sanniang make a set of clothes for her.

Any set would cost hundreds of taels of silver, and if you wanted her to embroider it herself, it would cost at least a thousand taels of silver.

How could she let Sanniang make clothes for her servant?

"It's not just for you. You see, Yumei chose first, so you can make it too. Then, measure Qiuhua and Dongyue's sizes and make two sets for them both."

Girls aged fifteen or sixteen are in the period of growth.

Not only have I grown taller, my waist has become bigger and smaller, and my body has grown. Last year's clothes no longer fit me.

When working with her, the first thing to do is to dress appropriately.

Seeing Yuzhu was about to talk more nonsense, Xue Chenyu said decisively, "I have the best Jinyi Pavilion in the capital. I can't let my maids wear clothes that don't cover their bodies. If it gets out, people will laugh at me."

Only then did Yuzhu behave herself.

……

He Ruyi's wedding was being prepared in full swing, but soon encountered a bottleneck.

Because the He family has no money!

When we first started planning the wedding, we were already stretched to the limit.

But Zhang was a smart person. She knew what the problem was and would never just let herself suffer. She would just take on the responsibility.

Instead, he would look for He Minzhi whenever he had a problem.

That's right, every failure makes one wiser. After experiencing the "bitter lesson" of crying several times to get back the 100 taels of silver from Liu, she has learned to be smarter.

He bypassed the shrewd old fox Liu and went straight to her naive son.

Scholars have never managed a household, so naturally they don't know how expensive food, oil, salt and firewood are, let alone how much money is spent on preparing for a wedding.

When marrying off a daughter, you need to send out wedding invitations. The fine paper and fine red satin will cost a lot of money.
