The tailor smiled modestly: "It is because of the support of all the guests that I can persist. By the way, Mr. Qin, do your new clothes fit you well?"
Qin Wenyuan nodded: "It's very suitable. The master's craftsmanship is really superb."
Qin Wenyuan looked around the tailor shop. Although the shop was small, it was neat and tidy. Various fabrics, scissors, rulers and other tools were neatly arranged. He smiled and continued, "This dress not only fits me well, but also reflects the ingenuity of the master."
The tailor showed a satisfied smile on his face, with a proud light in his eyes: "Mr. Qin, you are too kind, but I am worthy of my craftsmanship if I can satisfy you."
At this time, a young man in a blue cloth gown came in. He looked at Qin Wenyuan, then looked at the tailor, and said hesitantly: "Master, I want to make a new set of clothes, but I don't know which kind of fabric to choose."
The tailor came forward enthusiastically, smiling: "Don't worry, sir, I will help you choose."
Qin Wenyuan sat on a wooden chair nearby, watching the tailor selecting fabrics for the young man, and couldn't help but think of his youth. At that time, he also had his clothes made here. At that time, the tailor was still a young assistant, but now he has become the owner of the shop.
The tailor took a few pieces of cloth and showed them to the young man one by one with a focused look: "This is the best silk, soft and smooth, suitable for summer; this is cotton, warm and suitable for winter; this is linen, breathable and suitable for spring and autumn."
After hearing this, the young man frowned, as if he was having trouble choosing. Qin Wenyuan smiled slightly, stood up, walked to the young man, and patted his shoulder: "Sir, don't worry too much. You should be assured of the craftsmanship of the master. He will help you choose the fabric that suits you best."
The tailor looked at Qin Wenyuan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and then continued to select fabric for the young man. He picked up a piece of light blue fabric, gently unfolded it, and said to the young man: "I think this fabric is very suitable for you. The color is elegant and the texture is soft. It is suitable for daily wear and can also be used for some formal occasions."
After hearing this, the young man smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "Then let's take this one."
The tailor handed the cloth to the young man with a smile, then turned to get the scissors and a ruler to prepare to tailor it for him.
At this time, another old man came into the shop. He looked at the tailor with a glimmer of respect in his eyes: "Master, I heard that your craftsmanship is very good, so I came here to ask you, do you have any good suggestions on how to maintain clothes?"
The tailor put down the scissors in his hand, turned around and looked at the old man with a friendly smile on his face: "Sir, you are too kind. As for clothing maintenance, it is actually very simple. First of all, when wearing, try to avoid stains, especially stains such as oil stains and ink that are difficult to clean; secondly, do not expose the clothes to the sun for a long time to avoid damaging the fabric; finally, keep them dry when storing them to avoid moisture that may cause mold."
After hearing this, the old man nodded and praised: "Master, what you said is very good. I will definitely take care of my clothes according to your advice."
Qin Wenyuan looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He recalled his acquaintance with the tailor master. At that time, he was still a young man just starting out, and the tailor master had already opened a shop here. Now, they are both over 50 years old, and time flies.
After the tailor finished measuring the man, he turned to the young man and said, "Sir, your body shape is perfect. This suit will be ready in three days. I will let you know when the time comes to pick it up."
The young man nodded, thanked him, and left. Qin Wenyuan looked at the tailor and said with a smile: "Master, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. I believe your business will become more and more prosperous."
A hint of modesty flashed in the tailor's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, you are too kind. I will continue to work hard to provide better service to you guests."
As night fell, the lights in the tailor shop gradually dimmed. Qin Wenyuan had a pleasant conversation with the tailor master in the shop, as if they had returned to that era full of passion and dreams.
…
Soon, Sheng Yunrong quietly came to Tusu Mansion. She was wearing a lavender silk dress and walked lightly, like a blooming lotus. The mansion was prosperous, with carved beams and painted buildings, and the fragrance was overwhelming. Sheng Yunrong secretly admired in her heart that Tusu Mansion was indeed worthy of its reputation.
As soon as she entered the house, she was led to the living room by a maid in green. Sheng Yunrong looked around and saw that the living room was filled with exquisite furniture and famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls, which looked particularly elegant. After a while, Tu Subo walked in.
Tu Subo was about forty years old, handsome and elegant. When he saw Sheng Yunrong, he smiled kindly: "Miss Sheng, I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and bowed: "Mr. Tu Su, hello. I have always admired your talent. It is a great honor to be able to visit Tu Su's mansion today."
The two sat down as host and guest, and the maid brought them fragrant tea. Sheng Yunrong took a sip and said with a smile, "Master Tu Su, I heard that you have a collection of many ancient books in your house. I wonder if you can let me have a look at them?"
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with pride, and he said, "Miss Sheng, you are too kind. I do have a collection of ancient books, but they are all ordinary things. However, if Miss Sheng is interested, I am willing to take you to the study to have a look."
Sheng Yunrong nodded and smiled, expressing her gratitude. The two of them went to the study together, and saw that the study was full of bookshelves and books. Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but sigh: "Master Tu Su, you are really well-read and admirable."
Tu Subo smiled and said, "Miss Sheng, you are too kind. In fact, these books of mine are just for show. To truly understand the mysteries, you need a talented woman like Miss Sheng."
Sheng Yunrong blushed slightly and said modestly, "Mr. Tu Su, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman, how can I dare to deserve your praise."
At this time, Tu Subo suddenly stopped and turned to look at Sheng Yunrong: "Miss Sheng, what do you think of this study?"
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "The study is very elegantly decorated, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. However, I think there is one thing missing."
Tu Subo looked at Sheng Yunrong curiously: "Oh? Please advise."
Sheng Yunrong gently pointed to a corner of the study: "There is a pot of green plants placed here. Although it is full of vitality, it seems a bit abrupt. I think if it is replaced with a landscape painting, it may be more elegant."
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he smiled and said, "Miss Sheng is really ingenious. I didn't even think of this. It seems that I still need to learn from you."
Sheng Yunrong lowered her head shyly: "No, no, I just said it casually, I didn't expect that you would accept it."
As the sky gradually darkened, Sheng Yunrong stood up to say goodbye. Tu Subo personally saw her off and said, "Miss Sheng, it is a great honor to meet you today. I hope we can have another chance to meet in the future."
Sheng Yunrong looked back and smiled: "Master Tu Su, I also look forward to meeting you again."
