Chapter 199: Tailoring



All the women in the family can’t go out and watch the fun?!

In other words, it is impossible for Gu Xi to appear at the lecture.

Yu Tang was immediately overjoyed.

Imagine Gu Xi spending two or three hours to dress up radiantly, finally arriving in Lin'an City, settling down in Zhaoming Temple, preparing to attend the lecture, but being told that she could not go on stage, secretly gritting her teeth in anger...

Yu Tang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

She quickly covered her mouth.

The fourth young lady was still arguing with the second young lady: "If we are not allowed to watch the fun, do we not have to pay our respects to the elders? Do we have to hide in the chamber and not see anyone? Since we have to attend the social event, how can we dress slovenly? I don't care what you wear, second sister, anyway, I want to bring two sets of clothes to change. Maybe they can be used."

Yes!

Regardless of whether Gu Xi could go to the lecture to donate the incense recipe, Buddha's Birthday was the first time Gu Xi appeared in public after he and Pei Tong agreed on their marriage. There must be many people who are curious about Gu Xi, and many people would find excuses to go and see what Gu Xi looks like.

well!

Gu Xi was destined to be in the spotlight that day.

Not being able to go on stage to offer incense would certainly not have been such a big blow to her.

Gu Xi is a person who loves to be the focus of everyone's attention and likes to be in the spotlight without making any noise.

I just don’t know if the first wife will show up?

Will the eldest son of the Pei family participate?

She had never met Pei Tong up close.

I wonder what he looks like? Does he look like Pei Yan?

Yu Tang was thinking wildly here, and her expression was a little absent-minded. Miss Wu looked at her and pulled her collar. Seeing that Yu Tang's attention was on her, she asked again: "Sister Yu, are your clothes ready? Do you want to make some new clothes with us? Grandmother is making winter clothes for Third Uncle, and invited an old tailor from Suzhou City to come over." As she spoke, she looked around and lowered her voice, "The old tailor's craftsmanship is better than that of Lady Wang and the others. We can also take this opportunity to let them make something for us."

Are all the people in the Pei family so particular?

Yu Tang said hurriedly: "No need, I still have new clothes at home that I haven't worn yet, I can just pick out something nice when the time comes."

The Fifth Miss treated Yu Tang as her own and continued to persuade her. She also stretched out the embroidered shoes on her feet and said, "Look! These are the shoes that the master helped me make when I just came back. They are so beautiful."

Yu Tang then discovered that the Fifth Miss was wearing a pair of small and exquisite lake green shoes today. The vines of honeysuckle were embroidered with oil green silk thread, and tiny hostas were embroidered with light pink. Not only were the colors elegant, but the patterns were also very eye-catching. On the small pair of embroidered shoes, there were no less than twenty different kinds of hostas, either in bud or in full bloom, which was a breathtaking sight.

She was immediately struck by the beauty.

The Fifth Miss smiled and said proudly, "Sister Yu, you think it's beautiful too, right? We girls can't just hand over our things to others. However, their embroidery skills are really amazing. I think it's great to let them help embroider a skirt or make some small items."

What Yu Tang was attracted by was the pattern.

If it could be used on the lacquerware in their shops, it would surely be liked by many women.

You know, preparing dowry is the job of your mother and aunts.

Yu Tang was eager to make a move, and said, "Do you know where this shop is? I can't use it right now, but your shoes are embroidered very well. I would like to ask them to help me make something when the time comes."

The Third Miss giggled and said, "It's rare to find clothes that can make Sister Yu excited. However, this shop has always only accepted orders from familiar customers. It is also for my Third Uncle's sake that they can come to our house to make clothes. We do know where his shop is, but if we want to ask his shop to make something, I'm afraid we have to tell the chief steward Man and see if he can use our family's name to make an appointment for you in advance."

Is that so troublesome?

Yu Tang was very surprised.

The Fifth Miss hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay. He also makes clothes for my father. I'll let you know when he comes. You can think about what else to do then."

Yu Tang understood something and asked, "Does their shop only make clothes for men?"

The young ladies of the Pei family all looked hesitant.

The second young lady said, "It doesn't seem so. I asked them to make my wedding dress. But the other clothes were made by Lady Wang's family."

In other words, they only take on big jobs.

Yu Tang felt a little annoyed and complained about Pei Yan again in his mind.

This man is too particular. He used other people's skills of making wedding dresses and turned them into the skills of making Taoist robes.

What's so difficult about making a Taoist robe? She can even make her father's Taoist robe. Is there a need to find a tailor like this?

However, she was very curious about who drew the pattern of this shop and wanted to go and see it. Maybe she really needed to ask Pei Man for help!

A few people were chatting and laughing, and when it was time to light the lamps, the Fifth Miss and others asked Yu Tang to stay overnight - the incense coils as big as the foot pads and the incense sticks as thick as children's arms were not yet completely lit.

Yu Tang suddenly thought of those who went to the temple to light eternal lamps. They would usually light a few incense sticks as big as foot plates, and those incense sticks would usually burn for three days and three nights.

Could she wait for three days and three nights?

Yu Tang asked hurriedly, "How many days can this incense be burned?"

The Miss Peis didn't know and immediately asked someone.

The person who went to ask came back and said, "It can burn for three days and three nights."

Several Miss Pei almost fainted.

The third young lady asked pitifully, "Do we have to wait three days and three nights? I haven't finished writing the small calligraphy that the teacher asked me to write. How about I bring the homework over?"

The second young lady hesitated and asked, "Or should we go back first and come back in two days?"

Yu Tang thought this was a good idea.

The fourth young lady rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Yu should stay at our house for a few days. I haven't finished writing my regular script yet, and we can't take care of the incense making. Sister Yu will have to worry about whether the incense is good this time."

Yu Tang knew at first sight that the Fourth Young Lady had some ulterior motive, but firstly, she didn't know what the Fourth Young Lady was up to, and secondly, this matter really needed someone to keep an eye on it, so she thought about it and agreed.

The second young lady hurriedly sent someone to inform Hu Xing, and asked Hu Xing to arrange someone to go to the Yu family to report the news.

Chen knew why Yu Tang went to the Pei family. Although she was a little surprised when she received the letter, she did not resist.

It was not the first time that Yu Tang stayed at Pei's house. Every time he came back safely and smoothly, she accepted Yu Tang's stay. But as a mother, she was still a little worried. While helping Yu Tang pack some clothes, she repeatedly reminded Shuang Tao to close the doors and windows.

Shuang Tao was used to it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam. When the young lady stayed at the Pei family, the guest room was not far from the fifth young lady of the Pei family. The people who came to serve were all from the room of Mr. Pei, who was more dedicated and responsible than me. Don't worry."

Chen said unhappily, "It is better to be safe than sorry. You are living in someone else's house, so it is never too late to be careful."

Shuang Tao didn't dare to say anything else. She just kept agreeing, took Yu Tang's spare clothes, and went out in the sedan chair sent by the Pei family.

Yu Tang, however, was thinking about the tailor shop pattern.

She thought about it and felt that this matter might not be a big deal for the Pei family at all. Instead of asking Pei Yan for help, she might as well go to Pei Man.

The next morning, Yu Tang went with several Miss Pei to see the incense coils and incense sticks that were still burning. After the Miss Pei went back to class, she asked Shuang Tao to go see Pei Man.

Pei Man has been so busy these days that he doesn't even have time to drink water.

The lecture at Zhaoming Temple on Buddha's Bathing Festival was originally just an idea that Old An had on a whim. Eventually, the news spread, and not only did the Song family prepare to come over to join in the fun, but even the Peng family and the Yin family from Fujian were also preparing to come over to take a look. How to arrange the accommodation, food, and travel for these families was a rather troublesome matter. Moreover, the term of office of Prefect Tang was over. He had not been able to get through the Ministry of Personnel, and to this day he had no idea where he would be appointed. He was so anxious that he was looking for an opportunity to sneak into the Pei family. When he learned about the lecture, he even lost his face and just found excuses to visit the Third Elder these days. Shen Shanyan also kept hanging around in front of the Third Elder for the marriage of the Gu and Pei families... But Yu Tang also had something to ask him, and it was still something that was not serious.

Pei Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Shuang Tao: "Can you wait until I'm done with my work these few days?"

The title of Pei family's chief steward is still quite intimidating in Lin'an.

Shuang Tao didn't dare to force it, and said hurriedly: "Then I will wait until you are done before coming over."

Pei Man nodded.

Shuangtao retreated immediately.

But when she was leaving, she happened to pass by Shu Qing. Seeing a strange face, Shu Qing thought for a long time before he remembered who Shuang Tao was. He couldn't help but ask Pei Man curiously: "Why did the maid next to Miss Yu come to you?"

Pei Man told Shu Qing what had happened.

Shu Qing smiled slyly and said pointedly: "You'd better keep this matter in mind. Even if you can't spare the time for a while, call someone more stable to do it immediately."

He is Pei Yan's aide and not someone who speaks casually, not to mention that there is a strong reminder in his tone.

Pei Man couldn't help but stop what he was doing, thought about it carefully, and asked Shu Qing quietly: "If I encounter anything with Miss Yu in the future, should I put it among the things that need to be solved immediately?"

Shu Qing smiled and didn't answer.

Pei Man already had an idea in his mind.

He turned around and told someone to ask the tailor who made clothes for Pei Yan.

It just so happened that the tailor was trying clothes on Pei Yan, and Pei Yan felt a little unhappy when he heard it.

Although this tailor shop claims that it does not accept easy orders, it is essentially just a business. No matter how good their products are, they are not worth Yu Tang's trouble to plan.

He sent the people in the tailor shop away, called Pei Man over, and asked, "What does Miss Yu want to do with the things in their shop? Doesn't my mother have a shop that specializes in making clothes? Are the clothes made in that shop not good? Or is it that the tailor lady named what is acting arrogantly and neglecting other people in the family?"

Pei Man's mouth twitched.

Others?

This bystander should refer to Miss Yu, right?

Madam Wang would send him a pair of shoes and socks every year. He accepted her kindness, but he couldn't just say nothing for her at the critical moment, right?

Pei Man looked calm and said respectfully, "The woman who made clothes for Mr. An is surnamed Wang. She is very humble and prudent. She has served Mr. An for many years. She should not be that kind of person, right?"

Pei Yan sneered and said, "Many people have two faces. Go check what's going on."
