Chapter 107: Clothes reflect the person
After dinner, Wang packed up her things.
She was going to send the clothes her mother and sister had brought to Aunt Zhao. She didn't want anyone to look down on the Mo family!
Just then, Mo Wen came.
"Wenwen, I didn't tell you about the clothes... right?" Wang asked cautiously.
"What are you telling me? It's not mine! I'm not jealous." Mo Wen's attitude was not good.
"Mother knows you don't care about these things...but she is worried that you were in that room and saw it with your own eyes, and you would feel uncomfortable."
"Everyone has his own destiny. To be honest, I am very satisfied to be able to take classes with Aunt Zhao."
Wang was as happy as a rat stealing oil: "Isn't she better than Mrs. Chen?"
"It's more than just strong, it's a world of difference. What Zhao Ma said before was not wrong. The etiquette she taught was not outstanding. But the etiquette in the palace, the hosting and characteristics of banquets, the ways of the world, and some of the errands that the ladies have done are the most important. Madam Chen may also be able to say something, but she is definitely not at this level. By the way, mother, please push Madam Chen away! There is no need to invite her again!"
"But...if you marry into the Xu family and say you learned from Madam Chen, they will look at you with more respect."
"You really are... If my daughter says that she learned this from Aunt Zhao, how much more respect will the Xu family give me?"
"Oh, it's true! Mother didn't even think of this!"
"What's so unexpected? Isn't this the fact?" The tone was even more unpleasant.
"Wenwen..." Wang had no temper at all with her.
"No more words! Don't worry, if my daughter can't handle all this, she won't have a good life in the Xu family!"
In the past two days, the three sisters of the Mo family have broadened their horizons beyond their original family background. As smart as Mo Wen is, she deeply feels that what Madam Zhao said was not in vain. In just a few days, she found that she was thinking about things differently from the past.
This change made her both happy and nervous.
After breakfast the next day, Aunt Zhao said, "They will bring a lot of fabrics and clothing styles. I hope you can decide on your own clothing based on your insights from the classes over the past few days.
There is a saying: clothes reflect who you are. That is to say, your choice of clothes is actually a reflection of your inner self. So, who are you, what are you doing, and why do you choose to dress like this? These are things that girls need to consider. "
In fact, she decided to teach like this later because she found that Mo Yi was a pragmatic and sober girl, a talent that could be cultivated. No matter what the future holds, she is willing to give her advice and cultivate her.
"Girls can choose boldly. Just have your own reasons. Don't be afraid of making the wrong choice. In the end, I will help you check."
This is another test for me... Mo Yi nodded silently. Aunt Zhao's teaching is not only about teaching and correcting, but also about letting me realize and think for myself countless times...
"Also, remember that no matter what kind of clothing you wear, it will only add color to you if you can control it. Otherwise, it will only look pretentious and pretentious. Once you encounter any unexpected situation, you will be nervous and at a loss, and finally become a joke!"
Mo Yi deeply agreed with these principles, so when she went to Dajue Temple last time, she was determined not to wear the clothes that Mo Wen brought.
Mo Wen was deeply touched: Mo Yuan, she loves to pursue the style of clothes, and she will add some changes to the clothes she has made. She will wear a piece of good jewelry even if there is no occasion, and she will show off endlessly. She is just shallow and impetuous at heart.
But Mo Yi was too petty. She didn't understand that even if she didn't go out, dressing up also represented a person's spirit! Over time, it would affect the whole state. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It would be great if she could discuss it with Aunt Zhao!
Mo Yuan blinked her seductive eyes, she was also examining herself... and at the same time, she despised and envied Mo Wen... and looked down on Mo Yi.
While the three people were thinking about their own things, the tailors arrived.
Several people came in noisily, the first one being a short old man with a white beard, followed by two women and a waiter. Hongyan and Lvyi were also there.
Buxiao said that the Mo family was standing outside watching the fun again.
"Madam!" The old man must be enjoying the food, his face was shiny and he was smiling with his eyes narrowed.
Aunt Zhao said, "Miss Mo, this is Master Jiang!"
"Master Jiang!"
"Time is limited, take out everything!" ordered Nanny Zhao.
The old man bowed in response, nodded to the person next to him, and immediately got busy.
Watching them working, it was just like the maids working last time. Four words can be used to describe them: orderly.
All I could hear was a rustling sound. After a while, several sets of ready-made clothes were hung up, the material was spread out, and a few pairs of shoes were brought. Hongyan was arranging jewelry on the table next to her...
Looking at these clothes, everyone was filled with surprise.
Even Mo Yi grinned: I want to wear this?
The girls of the Mo family, especially Mo Wen, cannot be said to have no clothes, but there is really no such thing. It's not just one piece of clothing, but a set!
Inside, outside. Up, down. I don't know how many floors there are.
The colors, patterns, and styles all complement each other, making it hard to understand.
"Introduce me to the girl!"
"Let me introduce the styles to you first..." The old man spoke in a very gentle voice, "The two sets on the left are spring styles that have been around for many years and have never been out of fashion. Generally speaking, you can't go wrong wearing them. The two in the middle are the latest spring styles, which came from the Tianyi Pavilion in Jiangnan. Now, many people are ordering this style.
This one is said to have originated from the dress that our Imperial Concubine wore for the first time during the Chinese New Year. Everyone was amazed by it, so they came back and imitated it. It is also the most popular style of spring clothes. In my opinion, it was made by Master Hu in the palace. He has a unique insight into clothing... and has introduced several trends."
Mo Yi's eyes were not enough to see, she was nervous, she couldn't drive in such clothes, right? If she put it on, she would probably laugh, and then she wouldn't be able to walk. What should she do?
The way the Imperial Concubine looked was just what Mo Yuan wanted. Her eyes sparkled as she sighed softly, "The Imperial Concubine must be as beautiful as a fairy!"
Nanny Zhao smiled indifferently and said nothing.
"The two sets on the far right are new products from our own store!"
One of the skirts, which was made of dark-flowered crepe satin with a gauze outer layer, caught Mo Yi's eye at first sight.
The collar is high and the shoulders are relatively tight, while the gauze is loose but not too flowing, which resolves the restraint of the above without being too exaggerated.
It was conservative yet casual, not too feminine. She intuitively felt that this was the style that suited her best.
After talking about styles, they began to introduce fabrics. It seemed that Aunt Zhao also knew a lot about these things. The two of them looked and talked, and it was more like they were chatting.
The atmosphere was casual, and Sister Mo listened with great interest, touching it with her hands.
When you touch those fabrics, whether thin or thick, luxurious or simple, you will feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure in your heart.
"This piece of fabric is for the outer layer of this dress. It is a new variety that came out last year, called Xiangluo. It is made of Xiangyunsha and Luo. Even though it is silk, feel it. It is very thick, warm and heat-insulating. It can be worn as an outer layer in this weather. The texture is good, and the luster is stable and not floating. This piece..."
He kept talking and would pick it up and use it on the girls.
It should have been selected specifically for Mo Yi before, so every piece of fabric is suitable for her.
The girls listened for a long time, and then saw Mo Wen carefully looking at a piece of white, cotton-like, silk-like, very thin material. Zhao Ma Ma whispered, "Why did he bring this one as well? This was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is specially made for the masters in the palace to make underwear. You can't buy it outside!"
"No wonder it feels so good..." Mo Wen sighed.
"Well, it's soft, sweat-wicking, and breathable. It's not cheaper than those fancy fabrics! The girl has a good eye!"
Mo Wen's face turned red with excitement when he was praised.
"Miss Mo, I'm going to make four sets of clothes for you this time, and finally select two sets. Because sometimes, beautiful clothes don't look good when they are worn."
Four sets?! Choose two? What about the other two?
Is it so wasteful?
"On the day you enter the palace, you wear one set of clothes and bring another! Oh, generally speaking, for important occasions, you will bring an extra set of clothes. This is to prevent accidents and it would be disrespectful to wear dirty clothes."
Mo Yi can do manual labor, so she has a rough idea of how long it takes to make a piece of clothing.
This dress is so complicated, and it has embroidery. It’s only been two days since I entered the palace. How could someone make it?
"Mammy, is there enough time? Even if there are many masters, I'm afraid it will take several days to finish these embroidery works if they rush the work."
"Don't worry, young lady. These clothes are all half-finished. We can make some modifications according to your size. Master Jiang has many skilled craftsmen under his command!"
Master Jiang nodded happily.
“Clothes can be done this way!?
"As long as the girl decides on the style, we can try it on tomorrow. If there are no changes, it will be ready the next day! Look at these shoes, they are ready in all sizes! Very convenient!"
"Okay, Miss Mo, please come this way!" Nanny Zhao stood in front of the table where the jewelry was placed.
