Chapter 265: You damn girl! See how I deal with you
Yang Xiao frowned and said: "Jingbei——"
Seeing the impatience in Yang Xiao's eyes, Qu Jingbei immediately shut up, snorted at the warm wine, and sat down by himself. He even poured himself a cup of tea in a familiar manner, but as soon as he drank it, he spurted it out in an exaggerated manner.
"Wen Xiaojiu, you wouldn't do that, would you?"
"Your Wen family is broke? Is this tea drinkable? Not only does it taste bad, it also smells like swill."
Wen Jiu looked at him in shock, "Brother Qu, have you ever drunk swill?"
"You farted!"
"Who drank swill?"
"Then how do you know it smells like swill?"
Qu Jingbei was speechless after being rebuked. He glared at Wenjiu, stood up, kicked the chair over with his foot, and walked away angrily.
Yang Xiao looked helpless, walked up to Wen Jiu and said to her: "Sister Jiu, Jingbei is just like this, don't be surprised."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Why are you surprised? Isn't it always like this between me and Brother Qu?"
"Hurry up and sit down!"
"Try this swill-flavored tea that my brother Qu mentioned and see what it tastes like."
As she spoke, she poured tea for several people.
Yang Mei burst out laughing, "After hearing what you said, I don't dare to eat anything."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Only by having the courage to try can you gain new things."
“That’s what you said.”
After hearing Wenjiu say this, Yang Mei felt that the resentment in her heart finally dissipated a little. Her legs were thin from running so much today, but in the end she didn't even see a suitable piece.
Yang Xiao introduced them, "Ajiu, this is my sister Yang Mei and brother-in-law Zhang Xiaocheng. They are getting married soon. We came here today to ask you to help us customize wedding dresses."
Wen Jiu nodded, "It can be done. You look a little tired. You must have traveled a lot, right?"
Yang Mei nodded gloomily. "We've visited almost every store in the city, but they all said they couldn't make what I wanted."
"What kind of dress do you want?"
“A combination of East and West.”
Her answer was within Wenjiu's expectations, because from the way she was dressed, one could tell that she must like foreign culture.
Tailors of this era are all accepting old ideas and making old styles. It is difficult to get them to make Western products.
It's normal not to be able to do it.
Wen Jiu nodded in understanding and asked, "Then let me get a pen and paper so we can talk. I want to hear your ideas."
"sure!"
"Go get it!"
Soon Wenjiu came out with paper and pen, and the two of them sat at the tea table.
Wen Jiu looked up and asked, "Sister, the style of the dress should be based on your ideas, right? Does my brother-in-law have any ideas?"
If you ask clearly in advance, you won't have to worry about other things popping up later.
Less hassle.
Zhang Xiaocheng said: "Just listen to her."
He didn't want a wedding that combined Chinese and Western styles, he wanted a purely Chinese style, but Yang Mei liked it, so he had to compromise.
Wen Jiu praised, "Brother-in-law is so nice."
Yang Mei smiled shyly, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She was unwilling to be with Zhang Xiaocheng at first because she thought Zhang Xiaocheng was dull and boring, a wild and uneducated man, but after getting to know him, she liked him more and more.
Although he was methodical, he always put her thoughts and feelings first.
If she said one thing, he would never say another.
Even this wedding.
She knew that he hated Western-style weddings, but she still insisted on having one, and he compromised.
Thinking of this, Yang Mei suddenly felt that he had compromised for her so many times, and she should compromise for him once.
So he said to Wen Jiu, "I suddenly feel that it is better to follow our tradition. We cannot throw away the things passed down by our ancestors. Can you help me design a Chinese dress?"
Zhang Xiaocheng and Yang Xiao looked at Yang Mei in surprise when they heard what she said.
Why did you change your mind out of the blue?
Yang Mei turned around and said proudly, "Why are you looking at me like that? If no one can do it, can't I change? You can't not get married, right?"
Wen Jiu couldn't help but complain after hearing this, who said no one can do it?
Isn't she a human?
She was a little confused about changing to a pure Chinese style dress. How should she make this pure Chinese style dress?
In this era, when ordinary families get married, the bride can just buy a new red dress. Those from better-off families may wear a small suit or wedding gown. The original owner wore a cheongsam when she got married. When Yang Mei suddenly mentioned Chinese formal wear, she really had no idea.
Zhang Xiaocheng rarely smiled, and said firmly, "It must be done."
Fool!
Yang Mei couldn't help but give him a blank look.
Wen Jiu thought about it and decided to follow Yang Mei's wishes, so he asked, "Sister, when will your wedding be held? What kind of clothes do you want to wear?"
"Early February."
"As for clothes, let me think..." Yang Mei frowned and said, "I want to wear a cheongsam, but I might freeze to death if I wear it at that time."
Wen Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Almost. You can wear stockings inside."
Yang Mei said: "That's fine."
The two of them finalized all the details one by one. Wen Jiu raised his eyes and suddenly saw Zhang Xiaocheng in military uniform next to him.
Cheongsam x military uniform.
It would be nice to have a similar style to that of military officers and concubines during the Republic of China.
She continued, "Sister, will my brother-in-law wear a military uniform when he gets married? Do you want me to design him a piece of clothing to match you? I'll draw the design for you and I'll start making it if you're satisfied."
"no problem."
"How long will it take you to come up with the design?" Yang Mei was quite looking forward to the clothes she was going to wear at the wedding. After all, she was going to marry someone she, her parents and her friends were all satisfied with.
"Seven or eight days at the earliest!"
Wen Jiu gave himself enough time, "Come and take a look when you are free. If you are not satisfied, I will revise it for you."
"Okay!"
"I'm waiting for you, please don't let me down!"
Seeing Yang Mei's frown relax, Zhang Xiaocheng's mood also improved. He stood up, took out his wallet and asked Wen Jiu, "How much is the deposit, sister?"
Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Don't be polite. It's the amount that should be paid. Although we have a good relationship, we must settle the bill clearly to avoid the trouble of arguing back and forth."
He is the one who fears trouble the most.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Of course, I really want to collect the money, haha, but the deposit can only be calculated after the design drawings are finalized, so don't worry for now."
She is familiar with all fabrics on the market. Only after confirming the design and deciding on the fabrics to be used can she calculate the cost price and collect the deposit.
Yang Mei asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that you will work for nothing and not get paid if you do this?"
What should she do if someone plays tricks on her on purpose?
There are many bad people in this world today.
When Qu Jingbei heard Yang Mei's words outside, his eyes lit up instantly. This was a good idea. He could just find some people to do it, and he wouldn't have to confront Wenjiu himself.
He grinned smugly.
You damn girl!
Just wait and see how I deal with you!
