"Sister Qian, there are people here, could you please not call me like that?"

Cheng Zhimo was really speechless.

Although Sister Qian always called him that in the past.

He didn't refute it either.

But today Zhuang Zhou is here, he is his sworn brother.

Being called little brother by Sister Qian like this again.

It feels like I'm really small.

"Oh, who is this young man?"

Sister Qian also saw Zhuang Zhou at this time, holding a piece of silk in his hand.

"Sister Qian, this is my sworn brother, Zhuang Zhou, the owner of Zhuangji Grocery Store in the West Market."

Sister Qian then looked at Zhuang Zhou and took a closer look.

Just now said:

"I've heard of you. I heard that the underwear that the girl in Kyoto likes recently came from your store. Is that true?"

Zhuang Zhou also looked at Sister Qian carefully.

Sister Qian is about twenty-four or twenty-five years old and looks a little chubby.

Her face is very pretty, and she looks charming in a green long dress.

"Yes, those treasures are all sold from Zhuangji Grocery Store."

Zhuang Zhou did not deny it and nodded directly.

"Oh, what does Mr. Zhuang want to do in my shop?"

Just as Zhuang Zhou was about to speak, Cheng Zhimo said:

"My brother-in-law wanted to make clothes, and I thought that Sister Qian had the best craftsmanship in Chang'an, so I brought her here."

Zhuang Zhou responded:

"Yes, I have some silk that I want to make into clothes, but I want the best embroidery on it. I wonder if Sister Qian can do it?"

Sister Qian didn't reply immediately, but glanced at the silk in Zhuang Zhou's hand:

"Would it be convenient for me to take a look at your silk first?"

"sure!"

Zhuang Zhou handed the silk over and Sister Qian looked at it carefully.

Quick answer:

"Yes! This is top-quality silk, and it's obvious it's a gift from the palace."

"How is it? Can this be done?"

"Of course, but do you want to make it for yourself?"

This was something Zhuang Zhou had not thought of beforehand.

Originally, he just wanted to make a Tang Dynasty costume and take it back with him.

But now I realize that there should be a standard!

After thinking about it, I decided to use myself as the prototype.

"Yes, can you make me a set?"

Sister Qian now showed a face full of confidence:

"It's not difficult, Uncle He, come and help me measure the size of this owner of the village."

At this time, an old man came out with a rope in his hand.

Let Zhuang Zhou cooperate by raising his hands and opening his arms.

Then some of Zhuang Zhou's body measurements were recorded.

No one spoke during the whole process.

Finally, Uncle He took a brush and drew a picture, then handed the recorded data to Sister Qian.

Sister Qian took a look and finally said:

"Okay! I've got the measurements. Now, tell me your specific requirements? For example, what kind of embroidery pattern would you like?"

Zhuang Zhou actually wanted to make a dragon embroidery.

But how could he dare to do this?

So I thought about it and said:

"Can you embroider it to make a dragon robe?"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Zhimo asked first:

"Brother Zhuang, are you talking about the four-clawed dragon?"

Zhuang Zhou hummed, somewhat uncertainly:

"May I?"

"Of course!"

Cheng Zhimo said nonchalantly:

"But it seems that no one has ever done this kind of embroidery on clothes, right, Sister Qian?!"

Sister Qian nodded and said:

"Indeed, no one has ever thought of doing this kind of embroidery on clothes... But why don't you do a cloud dragon embroidery? It looks much better that way."

"Ah? Can you make a cloud dragon?"

"Why not!"

Then, Sister Qian shouted again:

"Uncle He, take out the cloud dragon embroidery I made earlier."

Soon, Uncle He came over with a piece of cloth in his hand.

After Sister Qian took it, she placed it on the table and took Zhuang Zhou to inspect it.

Only then did Zhuang Zhou begin to read it carefully.

The cloth is embroidered with a cloud-patterned dragon pattern. The whole dragon is in a soaring posture, with two horns on its head. The dragon's lips are wide, and the upper part of the lips is comb-shaped and upturned.

The dragon's body is covered with a network of scales, its legs are plump and have three-toed claws, and it has wings on both sides of its body.

The dragon's tail passes through one of its hind legs, forming an S-shaped curve.

It looks very elegant and spiritual.

Especially the exquisite embroidery, which really stunned Zhuang Zhou.

He was sure that if he took this Tang Dynasty cloud-patterned dragon embroidery back.

It will definitely shock the embroidery world.

However, I don't understand how ordinary people can use this cloud dragon pattern.

Shouldn't this be used only by the royal family?

In fact, Zhuang Zhou didn’t understand.

The use of this dragon-patterned clothing was gradually restricted only after the Tang Dynasty.

Especially during the Ming Dynasty, dragon patterns and yellow color became exclusive to the royal family.

It is a royal symbol and cannot be used by common people.

Now seeing such exquisite and gorgeous cloud-patterned dragon embroidery, Zhuang Zhou was even more certain that he had come to the right place.

"Sister Qian, I want to make a cloud dragon pattern like this. How much do you think it would cost?"

"You provided the silk yourself. So, to make the garment and add the cloud and dragon embroidery, it would cost twelve strings of cash."

Costing twelve strings of cash to make a piece of clothing is definitely a sky-high price for ordinary people.

But this one has the best embroidery added.

Purely handmade.

And for Zhuang Zhou, this amount of money is nothing.

Because what he makes is required to be a work of art.

It will be used in other places in the future, and it won’t just be used as clothes.
