In truth, Pei Lin had no idea whether this matter would succeed. The reason he could speak so confidently was simply because he was thinking of Lu Yinghuai.
Based solely on Lu Yinghuai's affection for this little rascal, no matter how much effort it took, he would persuade Lu Jiamin to lend a helping hand.
Moreover, Cao Shu didn't come out earlier or later, but just at this particular time. I don't believe that he didn't have any intention of guiding others.
Uncle Cao was quite impressed that the Pei family's young master had hit him right where it hurt, firstly capturing the heart of his young master, and secondly targeting Min-jie's fondness for novelties, thus directly interrupting his invitation to Yun-ling to come over for a meal.
“Brother Lin is right, but it still depends on what Sister Min thinks.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Lin was heard shouting outside.
"Oh, isn't that Lu Jiamin?"
Just then, Lu Jiamin also looked in this direction. First she saw Uncle Cao, then she saw Yunling, and she excitedly ran over.
"Lingniang, Lingniang, hey, Pei Lin, why are you sitting in my sister-in-law... Lingniang's carriage?"
Pei Lin didn't miss the word "sister-in-law" that the man said, and his anger immediately flared up. What nonsense! What sister-in-law? This relationship is not even close to being established yet. How can he just casually call a young lady like that? Does he really think Yun Ling is a member of the Lu family?
Pei Lin retorted angrily, "What's it to you?"
This is of course Lu Jiamin's business. In her heart, or rather in the hearts of the Lu family, Yunling has long been regarded as a member of the Lu family. How could she allow someone else to take her away?
Lu Jiamin reached out to grab Pei Lin, but he was like a leech, his whole backside stuck to the deck, and she couldn't budge him no matter how hard she pulled.
Lu Jiamin had no choice but to give up, walk around the horse, and go directly to Yunling's side.
Yunling, seizing the opportunity, quickly asked:
"Uncle Cao told me that Sister Lu is skilled in painting. I'm looking for a female painter to help me create a product catalog. I wonder if Sister Lu is available?"
"Yes, of course, it's available anytime."
Uncle Cao couldn't help but rub his forehead. This silly girl! Why doesn't she think about Huai-ge'er at all? No matter what, she should lure him back first, have a meal, and then discuss things slowly. Why is she in such a hurry, as if she can't wait to go back with Xiao Er Niang right now?
Uncle Cao had his own helplessness, and Yun Chu had her own confusion.
Isn't painting something Yunling excels at?
Bras, panties, menstrual pads, cotton pads, beehives, mixing buckets, etc., weren't they all drawn by Yunling herself stroke by stroke? Why is she now asking someone else to draw them? Could it be that she's up to something?
Yunling was truly wronged. She was good at drawing anything, except for people. When she did draw people, there was always an ugly quality in her paintings that showed no regard for the lives of others. That's why Yunling was unwilling to paint herself.
"Thank you, Sister Lu. How about I come to the Lu family business to pick you up in five days?"
"good."
And that was the end of it.
After sending Yun Chu, Pei Lin and Shen Changliu back to Ren'an Hall, Yun Ling hurried back to Dongtou Village.
Back home, Yunling drank a cup of fragrant beverage to quench her thirst, then went to Granny Fan's house to invite Bingniang over so they could see how the gauze shirt looked on her and have it cut and sewn according to her desired style.
“Auntie, I was thinking of cutting this ankle-length gauze shirt down so that it could be short on top and short on the bottom, or short on top and long on the bottom.”
Bingniang listened and nodded. She picked up a gauze shirt and held it up to her ears. After thinking for a moment, she finally expressed her opinion.
“What you said, Ling’er, is certainly feasible, but it’s only suitable for tall ladies. If it’s for the shorter ladies, the puffy fabric of this gauze dress might seem cumbersome.”
Yunling suddenly realized that she had only thought about tailoring the garment by raising the waistline, but hadn't considered the fabric itself. This was truly inappropriate.
"So, according to Auntie, how should these things be changed?"
Bingniang simply picked up the gauze shirt and walked up to the ten young women to compare them. First, she compared the two tallest ones, then the four who were of average to above-average height, and said:
"Ling-jie, how about this? I think those two tall young ladies don't need any changes. Just let them wear gauze dresses."
"As for these four young ladies, the two who are a little taller have their gauze shirts cut in two. The upper part is short, as you said, to show the waistline, and the lower part is sewn together to form a long skirt. The other two are the same, except that the lower part is sewn together to form a short skirt."
Yunling thought Bingniang's suggestion was very reasonable. In the end, professional matters should be left to professionals in order to achieve good results.
"As for these four petite ladies, I think we must first learn to leave some blank space on their bodies. For example, these two have dimples on their faces, so we can make their upper bodies more relaxed and simply sew a long skirt along their waistline for them to wear."
"As for the remaining two, they can wear a shorter gauze shirt on their upper body. This way, the styles of these young ladies' gauze shirts can be more varied when they walk the runway, so that it won't be too monotonous. What do you think, Ling-jie?"
What else could Yunling think? This is naturally good, a thousand times better!
"Speaking of which, Auntie is the best at it."
After picking the termite mushrooms from the mountain, Yun Ruoxia handed everything over to Zhang Shi and then came over to join in the fun. She picked up the gauze shirt with her left hand to examine it, and then lifted it up with her right hand to hold it up against her body.
"Oh my, Sister Ling, are you planning to have them wear these gauze shirts on the runway? Good heavens, I'm afraid your bras and panties won't be popular, but the gauze shirts will be incredibly popular."
"Auntie, you should spit and say those words again quickly. These unlucky words will all disappear with the wind and dust, leaving only good things behind."
Yun Ruoxia quickly spat a few times to clear her mouth of the filth, and then spoke again:
"This bra and panties are going to be a huge hit, a real sensation, a super hot product."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ling leaned closer and whispered:
"Actually, there's no need to worry about that. Gauze shirts and silk fabrics have always been very popular styles. In the hot summer, not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy families and people in the imperial palace are very afraid of the heat."
"Therefore, in the inner quarters where men are forbidden from entering, the ladies and young women all wear thin gauze or silk blouses, seeking only comfort. As for the style, they prefer simplicity and do not like too many patterns."
With Tang Ling's words, everyone felt relieved and went about their own business.
Bingniang followed Yunling's approved cutting method to take measurements and sew, while Yunling devoted herself to the preparations for setting up the runway.
