Lin Yifeng led Bai Yejin and the other two into Rong En's mother's courtyard. Before Lin Yifeng and the others could explain their purpose, a little child ran out of the room and pointed the way for Lin Yifeng:
"Grandma is upstairs. Follow Qiuqiu upstairs!"
"Good grandma" in Suzhou means grandmother. The girl in front of them was Rong En's granddaughter. She led Lin Yifeng and his group into the house and went straight upstairs.
The main room on the first floor of Rong Enniang's house was very crowded and filled with all sorts of odds and ends, but when a group of people came up to the second floor, the space suddenly became spacious.
Rong Enniang was sitting in the middle of the second-floor hall, doing embroidery.
Rong Enniang is a woman in her sixties.
She hasn't done any heavy work and takes good care of herself; at sixty-four years old, she looks less than fifty.
If Lin Yifeng hadn't noticed the deep frown at the corner of Rong En's eyes, he would have really thought she was over forty years old.
That's true. Even if you get married very young, it's not very common to become a grandmother in your forties.
Rong En's mother is quite fashionable. She has long, wavy hair and is adorned with gold and silver. At first glance, you might mistake her for a gangster boss from a Hong Kong movie.
Seeing Lin Yifeng and his two companions enter the main room, Rong En's mother didn't put down her work. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked Lin Yifeng the purpose of their visit:
"Are you here for Suzhou embroidery or for Suzhou-style cheongsams?"
Suzhou is famous for its Suzhou embroidery, and similarly, Suzhou-style cheongsams are also very famous. Many actors and actresses in later generations wore Suzhou-style cheongsams, and the price of a set of Suzhou-style cheongsams starts at 300,000 yuan.
Suzhou-style cheongsams are expensive, but Suzhou embroidery is not cheap either. Rong Enniang looked at Lin Yifeng and his group of four, and finally her gaze fell on Bai Yejin.
Rong En's mother's eyes lit up.
She actually put down what she was doing, stood up, came to Bai Yejin's side, and carefully looked Bai Yejin over.
"This girl has a very good figure. I recommend she wear a Suzhou-style cheongsam, which will perfectly accentuate her figure!"
Bai Yejin's figure was immediately apparent. Rong Enniang circled around Bai Yejin again and again, scrutinizing the girl.
"This young lady has such a great natural look; she's practically born to wear cheongsams. It would be such a shame if you never wore one in your life."
The cheongsam is the garment that best showcases the figure. Bai Yejin has large breasts and naturally perky buttocks, but her waist is incredibly thin, even thinner than an A4 waist.
This body type was later referred to as a "comic book body".
Simply put, it's a body type that only exists in comics.
Rong En admired this figure since birth. Not content with just circling around Bai Yejin, she also wanted to make some physical contact with Bai Yejin.
"Which of you is this girl's lover?"
Rong Enniang paused for a moment and asked Lin Yifeng and the others. Her gaze lingered on Lin Yifeng for a moment, clearly indicating that Lin Yifeng should be Bai Yejin's lover.
"I am."
"The other two men, get out!"
"Qiuqiu, lock the door from the inside, stand in the doorway and block anyone from coming in!"
Rong Enniang kicked Xu Qingyi and Gangzi out, locked the door, took a ruler, and then came to Bai Yejin's side to measure her bust, waist, and hip measurements.
As she measured, Rong En's mother clicked her tongue in disapproval while glancing at Lin Yifeng.
It seems to be saying...
You're in luck, kid.
“Three feet four (114), one foot eight (62), two feet eight (93)”.
"This size..."
"I've lived this long and this is the first time I've ever seen such a size. Girl, your husband is so lucky!"
Rong En's mother said Bai Yejin's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and Lin Yifeng also looked at Bai Yejin in surprise.
He knew that Bai Yejin had an exceptionally outstanding figure, but he had never measured her measurements before. He never expected that after Rong Enniang took a simple measurement today, the numbers would be so outrageous.
These measurements.
She has the body of a manga character!
A bust of 3 feet 4 inches is approximately 114 cm, a waist of 1 foot 8 inches is only 62 cm, and a hip circumference of 2 feet 8 inches should be 93 cm.
These three numbers are combined.
It's unbelievable.
"Miss, your figure is so rare. I don't have a cheongsam that fits you right here."
"If you're not in a hurry, come back in two days and I'll take your measurements and alter a cheongsam for you so you can try it on."
Bai Yejin's figure was truly rare, considering that cosmetic procedures like fillers and bone removal weren't popular in 1992.
Rong Enniang doesn't have a cheongsam that Bai Yejin can wear.
Although Bai Yejin's cheeks were flushed, she was still very clear-headed. When she heard that Rong Enniang was going to take measurements to alter a cheongsam for her, she immediately became alert.
"Auntie, could you take my measurements and alter a cheongsam for me? If I don't like it, you won't force me to buy it, will you?"
"Look at what you're saying, girl."
"You're really underestimating me, Rong En's mother!"
With her hands on her hips, Rong Enniang spoke softly but with confidence and pride: "In the whole of Suzhou, who doesn't know me, Rong Enniang? People from Beijing and Shanghai even come to me to choose my Suzhou embroidery and Suzhou-style cheongsams."
"Even if it's Old Li, it's only because someone in his family made Suzhou embroidery for the palace. In terms of skill, I'm no worse than Old Li!"
"You're saying I, Rong En's mother, forced you to buy or sell?"
"If this gets out, what will become of my mother Rong En's reputation?"
Although Rong Enniang said that, Bai Yejin was still a little worried. She looked at Lin Yifeng and sought his opinion.
