Chapter 234: Tailor Shop with Superb Craftsmanship
Xu Hui wanted to say something else.
She was interrupted by Old Man Shou. He glanced at her and asked, "Why, do you want others to think that your daughter is an ungrateful person?"
As soon as these words came out.
How could Xu Hui dare to refuse?
He was caught directly.
The only one left is Old Lady Zhu.
I thought Mrs. Zhu would continue to refuse, but she smiled and said, "Brother Shou is right. Sui Sui has a promising future. Let's just follow Sui Sui's arrangements."
After all, this is the old city, not a happy place.
Anyone walking by was dressed appropriately.
Why should Mrs. Zhu still put on a stern face and reject her granddaughter's kindness? She knows her granddaughter well.
If it was really the Lu family's money, Zhu Suisui would definitely not dare to say that, so she spent the money she earned herself.
Since it's her granddaughter's money, there's nothing wrong with her enjoying it.
What's more, people wearing ragged clothes will always make people laugh.
Although Mrs. Zhu does not think that clothing can reflect a person's character, clothing can avoid a lot of trouble.
After all, it is the filial piety of the granddaughter.
She can bear it.
Old Man Shou glanced at Old Lady Zhu and was somewhat surprised.
This old lady is a wise person in life.
Maybe that's why we wish for family unity.
After only knowing the Zhu family for two days, Old Man Shou was able to see through everything.
It is true that having an old person in the family is like a treasure.
The Zhu family has such character, which is definitely related to Grandma Zhu.
Even Zhu Lechen is rough but meticulous.
This morning, fearing that his room was not warm enough, he secretly added some coal cakes to the room. He did good things quietly.
Living with such a family, Old Man Shou just feels warm in his heart.
Even Wu Wenrou could feel the difference.
When Zhu Sui saw the old man taking the initiative to talk to him, he wanted to have a conversation with him.
She smiled and said, "Grandpa Shou, you've been here for a long time, why don't you recommend a good tailor shop so that I don't have to go through the trouble of getting custom-made clothes."
In the past, Old Man Shou would never have cared about such trivial matters.
He knows a lot, but he's not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business.
Now my attitude and ideas have changed.
He said, "You've asked the right person. There's a tailor shop in Dazhalan. The craftsman there is a master craftsman. His ancestors were once very successful. Many dignitaries would come with a large sum of money to ask for a piece of work, but they couldn't always get a chance. Although it's deserted now, the craftsmanship is still passed down. There's a small curtain in the ancestral house. You can just go there and ask them to make it for you according to your requirements."
Upon hearing this.
Xu Hui subconsciously asked, "Wouldn't that be very expensive?"
Old Man Shou patiently explained: "Just say that it was recommended by Old Man Shou, and I will make it for you. As for the price, it is not too expensive to support a family these days."
But there is one thing that Old Man Shou didn’t say.
The other party also had a strange temper. He usually walked his birds and played with crickets, and made clothes by picking out the pieces. He did not expect to develop his skills, but just wanted to make a living. He mentioned his name so that people would give him face and agree to take the order.
I heard someone say that.
Zhu Suisui seemed to be somewhat interested.
It seems that he is a hidden master.
Since we are making clothes, naturally the whole family will make them.
Before leaving, he asked Wu Wenrou if she wanted to go with him.
Wu Wenrou quickly refused, "No, no, I don't need it."
I haven't done anything yet.
Why do I always get all the good things?
Seeing her like this, Zhu Suisui laughed and said, "I'll have to trouble you to help my parents later. After all, I don't live as close as you do. Everyone makes these clothes, so it's not a big deal to make one for you. Just think of it as work clothes."
Wu Wenrou still refused.
She looked very serious. "It's a waste to wear good clothes for me. They're not as good as the cheap clothes on the stalls. I'm a martial artist. I won't feel comfortable wearing materials that are too good."
Zhu Suisui treats Wu Wenrou as his younger sister and is nice to her subconsciously, but this is also because Wu Wenrou is clear-headed, sensible and obedient and never complains.
This is mutual.
It's hard to say whether they are compatible or not, but the two of them just got along very well.
But since Wu Wenrou had already said so, Zhu Suisui really couldn't force it.
After all, she had only been with him for a short time, and some good things needed to be done in moderation. Once the time was over, it would either bring pressure to others or backfire.
Either way, it's not a healthy relationship.
Zhu Suisui didn't insist anymore.
Wait until all the Zhu family members have left the house and then walk to the location found by Old Man Shou.
Old Lady Zhu said, "Wenrou is a good girl. I don't know how old she is this year. She has been educated to be so sensible at home. What's rare is that she has a carefree personality. She is neither humble nor arrogant. She is likable just by looking at her."
Hearing this.
Zhu Suisui smiled and said, "One year younger than me."
"She is in Beijing now. Is her family at ease? It's not easy for a little girl to come out and make a living. But is there anyone at home who bullies her?" Old Lady Zhu asked again.
Zhu Suisui told her about Wu Wenrou's situation.
Although she had never met the Wu family, from what Wu Wenrou said and what Yao Yu said, they should be good.
The Wu family was poor, so Wu Wenrou's brother joined the army and sent all the money back home. They were the kind of family that worked together as a team.
If you favor boys over girls.
Although this is mostly the case in this era.
Because of the great demand for labor, women are naturally not as strong as men. Moreover, in a family at that time, if there is no boy, it is easy for the family to be left alone.
However, Wu Wenrou is a person who is naturally strong. She is quite special. If female soldiers were not recruited, she would probably be a good candidate for the military.
In the Wu family, men and women are treated the same.
After Mrs. Zhu had learned the truth, she smiled and said, "Then we should be nicer to the girls, especially Le Chen. You should take better care of her and don't bully her."
Zhu Lechen nodded.
He's not the type to bully lesbians.
The few of them chatted along the way and finally arrived at the tailor shop.
The so-called tailor shop is a very small curtain shop. Just as Old Man Shou said, it is located behind the house facing the street.
If you don't look carefully, you won't find it.
Zhu Suisui knocked on the window.
The wooden window opened.
A man who looked to be about 40 years old appeared, with messy hair and looked like he had just woken up. He was a little impatient and said, "I'm not in the mood today. I won't make clothes."
I wish the family looked at each other in surprise.
I didn't expect to be rejected.
Zhu Suisui quickly put forward the name of Shou Laotou.
Upon hearing this.
The middle-aged man was startled and muttered, "How rare! Uncle Shou actually has friends?"
That's what I said, but I didn't expect anyone to answer.
The middle-aged man scratched his head and said with a sour face: "Then go to the front door and I will open it for you."
