Chapter 124 I Want to Be a Matchmaker Too
Hong Lizhen smiled and let the matter go: "My boy asked me to ask you to go to the Qian family and ask about the day he will come to visit."
Hearing this.
Lin Su'e nodded immediately: "No problem."
Hong Lizhen: "Thank you for your help."
Lin Su'e waved her hands hastily: "Of course, of course."
After finishing her business, Lin Su'e found something to talk about and praised the cheongsam: "Sister Hong, your cheongsam looks very good. I wonder what material it is made of?"
Hong Lizhen smiled and gestured: "Try and see if you can feel it out."
Lin Su'e took action.
"The material is so smooth, real silk? Not like it, silk? Not like it either..."
After a while, she gave up: "Sister Hong, I really can't guess."
"Haha, this is Xiangyunsha." Hong Lizhen didn't keep it a secret any longer: "I wonder if you've heard of it?"
"Xiangyunsha?"
Hong Lizhen continued, "Well, it uses mulberry silk as the raw material, and uses the ancient method of dyeing to make it look old. The process is very complicated and requires..."
Lin Su'e listened carefully and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "It takes a lot of time and effort to make a Xiangyunsha."
"Sister Hong, do you work in the cotton mill?"
Hong Lizhen smiled and shook her head: "No, I teach American music in the county choir. I know these things only because my ancestors on my mother's side ran a cloth shop."
Lin Su'e suddenly realized.
"Then did you make this material yourself, Sister Hong?"
"Well, I am the only daughter in my family, so naturally I learned the family craft. As the situation improved in recent years, I opened a tailor shop."
At this point, Hong Lizhen sighed: "It's a pity that I gave birth to four sons, and none of them is willing to learn this craft. The craft of our ancestors cannot be lost in me, otherwise how can I face my ancestors after I die? It really worries me to death."
Lin Su'e couldn't help but ask, "Can't you accept a disciple?"
Hong Lizhen shook her head: "I did accept one before, but the apprentice my grandfather accepted almost ruined our family, so my father would never accept another one, and he also wouldn't allow me to teach outsiders."
Hearing this, Lin Su'e suddenly had an idea and without thinking too much, she replied, "Can't we teach it to outsiders? Then is my daughter-in-law considered an outsider?"
"Daughter-in-law?"
Hong Lizhen was startled, then looked thoughtful: "I haven't thought about that."
Lin Su'e waved her hand quickly: "I was just saying it casually, Sister Hong, you don't have to take it seriously."
Hearing this.
Hong Lizhen said seriously, "That's a good idea. My father originally planned to pass it on to his grandchildren, but it will take many years, and I don't know if it will last. If it can be passed on to his daughter-in-law, he will feel at ease knowing that there is someone to carry on his legacy..."
Lin Su'e couldn't respond to this.
Fortunately.
Hong Lizhen didn't want her to give an answer either.
The two chatted for a while.
Lin Su'e looked at her watch and it was almost 11 o'clock, so she stood up and said goodbye: "Sister Hong, I'm going back now."
Hong Lizhen persuaded him to stay: "Stay and have lunch before leaving."
Although she is dressed elegantly, she still has a traditional Chinese character at heart - warm and hospitable.
Lin Su'e waved her hand: "No, no, the children are still waiting for me at home."
Having children is good, it’s a universal excuse.
This trick of the child will still be useful decades later.
The granddaughter in her previous life complained to her that the older sisters in the company always used excuses such as picking up their children from work, their children being sick, having things to do at school, or their children having to attend tutoring classes to throw jobs to single young women like them.
That's going too far.
Hong Lizhen stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you some coffee."
Lin Su'e nodded.
Hong Lizhen entered the room and came out again with not only two tightly packed bags of coffee beans in her hands, but also a piece of clothing.
"Su'e, this is a long dress made of Xiangyun silk that was ordered by a customer of my tailor shop. Later, she didn't want it for some reason, and I can't wear it. Your figure is similar to hers. If you don't mind, take it back and wear it for fun."
Lin Su'e looked at the skirt. It was not a cheongsam type, but a long-sleeved skirt. The color was a dark green with pink and green peach blossom branches. It was unique and charming, and indeed suitable for her age.
"How could I dislike such a pretty girl?"
"It's just that this is too expensive. I really can't accept it..."
"I made it myself, it's just a little laborious." Hong Lizhen didn't care: "You'll have to run errands for my family later, so just take it."
Lin Su'e: "This..."
Hong Lizhen said in a domineering tone, not allowing any arguments: "Weren't you quite cool just now? Why are you so shy? Take it now!"
"All right."
Lin Su'e finally nodded: "Thank you, Sister Hong."
Hong Lizhen smiled: "That's right!"
"Sister Hong, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road, and come again next time."
"good."
Walk out of the family building.
Lin Su'e put the coffee beans in the basket on the front of the car, then looked at the clothes and sighed again: "I said Sister Hong is a friend worth making~"
There is give and take.
Next time, she has to bring some gifts.
…
After returning home and finishing her meal, Lin Su'e immediately tried on her new clothes.
In her previous life, she was not interested in clothes when she got older, but after she became younger, her mentality seemed to become younger as well.
This is not.
Change your clothes.
She couldn't wait to open the door.
The first person who saw Zhao Chunlan immediately called her: "Chunlan, do you think this skirt suits me?"
Zhao Chunlan looked over, immediately stepped forward, and looked carefully: "Mom, turn around so I can see."
Lin Su'e turned around obediently.
Zhao Zhenyi, Zhao Zhenli, Zhao Fenglan, Zhao Zhenxin, Zhao Yulan and Xiao Baozhu all came over.
Zhao Zhenli: “Wow!”
Zhao Yulan's eyes sparkled: "Mom, your skirt is so beautiful~"
Being praised, Lin Su'e couldn't help but smile: "Really?"
Zhao Yulan nodded heavily.
Zhao Zhenli and Zhao Zhenxin nodded heavily.
Zhao Chunlan also praised: "It looks good, Mom, this color suits you very well."
Zhao Zhenyi agreed: "Mom should wear more bright colors, and less black, dark blue, and gray."
Zhao Baozhu said in a baby voice: "Grandma is so pretty!"
Lin Su'e was overjoyed and pinched her little cheek: "Our Baozhu is so sweet~"
Zhao Fenglan touched it and asked curiously, "What kind of material is this?"
Lin Su'e replied: "Xiang Yunsha, I went to see Wang Xinyuan's mother today, and she gave it to me."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was surprised.
Zhao Fenglan: "Mom, those fruits and other things from the day before yesterday were also given by her, right?"
Lin Su'e nodded: "That's right."
"Hiss, hiss, so generous!"
“So rich!”
“…”
Zhao Zhenli suddenly looked at her seriously and said loudly, "Mom, I've decided. I want to take over your job and be a matchmaker."
Everyone was stunned.
The next moment, everyone burst into laughter.
Zhao Fenglan laughed so hard that she covered her stomach: "Silly boy, you are a man, you should call him Matchmaker!"
Zhao Zhenyi laughed and shook his head: "I think you don't want to be a matchmaker, you want to receive gifts!"
Zhao Zhenli was a little shy: "Second brother, you guessed it~"
Hearing this, Lin Su'e was both angry and amused, and poked his forehead with her index finger: "Stinky boy!"
