The old lady smiled and said, "I just saw some pieces of Song brocade. They are really beautiful. I want to ask Master Qing what kind of clothes can be made with them?"

"Madam, you have a good eye. Those pieces of Song brocade are really outstanding!" Master Qing first praised the old lady, and then said: "The characteristics of Song brocade are gorgeous colors and exquisite patterns. But it is gorgeous but not flashy, expensive but not conspicuous. Due to the complex workmanship and small number of products, it has become an extremely precious fabric!"

When everyone in the Wen family heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Its price is also quite expensive. So it is usually worn by old ladies like you: people of a certain status and age. The ones with bright colors are also suitable for young ladies. For girls, making a whole set of Song brocade is too heavy and not very suitable. But making a small skirt, a patchwork skirt, a belt, a purse, or even a pair of shoes would be a very good choice."

After Master Qing finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.

The old lady seemed to be thinking about something, and Wen Yu agreed and nodded slightly.

Wen Jiao disagreed, muttering silently: That's not necessarily true! I look good in it!

She fell in love with the orange-red one with the Pisces pattern at first sight... Wen Huan wore a skirt of this color a few days ago, and it looked beautiful.

If I were to make a piece of Song brocade, I would definitely be better than hers! Ever since her uncle got promoted, she has been secretly competing with Wen Huan...

Old Mrs. Wen nodded: "Master Qing's words make a lot of sense! I didn't know before that it would take so long for Cailuan Pavilion to make a piece of clothing!" She was stunned when Manager Liu said that it would take at least four months to make the Wen family's clothes.

"It is very difficult to find embroiderers in Cailuan Pavilion, and there are not many of them. Moreover, a piece of clothing needs to be measured, patterned, cut, pre-made, tried on, and finalized. Then, it needs to be embroidered, finely embroidered, and finally decorated, which takes a long time. If it is fully embroidered, it may take one or two years to make a piece of clothing!"

"One or two years? Oh, that sounds confusing. When I was a student, my family hired a master to teach me, and I also made clothes, but they were not so complicated. No wonder your clothes are so beautiful!" The old lady gave affirmation.

Master Qing smiled modestly and followed without saying much, "I wonder what kind of clothes the old lady and the girls want to wear for what occasion?"

Occasion? Do you need an occasion to wear clothes?

"The Wen family will be moving to the capital in half a year. I'm afraid we will have to visit some people's homes and entertain them at home. I originally planned to make two sets of clothes for each person for four seasons... but it seems that there is not enough time."

"Master Qing, don't you have ready-made clothes in your store?" Wen Jiao asked.

"We have ready-made clothes, too! Like the ones displayed in front, and..." She turned around and saw Manager Liu and his men taking out a few sets and showing them in front of the girl.

"Things like this are ready-made clothes. They can be modified simply based on the customer's body shape. For example, fat or thin, long or short. In this way, they can be made in a few days! If they fit well, you can take them away on the spot!" Master Qing looked at Wen Jiao secretly, and said this to her.

"I want this one! Hey, this one looks good too!" Wen Jiao pointed at each piece back and forth, her eyes were overwhelmed!

She almost shouted out: One piece of each style and color! "Grandma..." Although Wen Jiao was anxious, she knew she couldn't go too far. "Grandma, how about we make a few sets and buy a few ready-made clothes? Look, these ready-made clothes are so beautiful! Just right, I can wear them to Aunt Song's birthday party!" Thinking of this, she was extremely excited!

She came out today with her own little treasury, in case she met a good-looking grandmother who didn't say anything, so she would use it herself first and then go back to her mother to settle the bill! The old lady saw it and shook her head helplessly, knowing that once this girl came, she would lose control.

Simply ignore her, "Master Qing, do you have any good suggestions for my clothes?"

Master Qing looked at the old lady carefully. "Generally speaking, if something like what's available in the capital city, Cailuan Pavilion will have it within a month. Moreover, the products of Cailuan Pavilion will be improved. So, you don't have to worry about it being out of date when you wear it in the capital city! With your temperament... please follow me."

The old lady stood up involuntarily and followed her.

Master Qing found the fabric from the counter and said, "When we arrive in Beijing in half a year, it will be the Chinese New Year. But by the time you have a rest, it will be spring again. So, my suggestion..." She whispered to the old lady.

Wen Yu felt that Master Qing didn't look like a master or shopkeeper of a clothing store at all, but more like a girlfriend, discussing the current fashion...

After a long time, everyone finally chose the styles and materials, and as expected, Wen Jiao wanted the most.

Wen Wan was unhappy, but she didn't dare to compete with her elder sister.

Wen Su was still young and had a lot of room to grow, so she didn't choose expensive materials. Although she was unhappy, she didn't say anything.

Cousin Hui felt that she was just here to get some clothes, which were quite expensive! So when the old lady asked her to do it, she refused.

Wen Yu, seeing that the old lady didn't want to take care of her granddaughter, didn't care, just treated her like a few younger sisters. She secretly made up her mind: When I take over the business, I will do as many things as I want! Blind you... cough cough...

Master Qing took the old lady to the second floor to measure clothes. As soon as the old lady finished measuring, Wen Jiao went upstairs directly.

After she finished measuring, she started to talk to the old lady again, "Grandma, my cousin's jewelry store is at the corner of the street. Let's go there and take a look? It's just two or three shops away..."

Mrs. Wen said, "Wait until your sisters have finished measuring and then go together!"

"Grandma, they can measure and then go over by themselves! It's just a few steps away! Let's go over and ask them to send someone to pick us up!" She pulled the old lady and walked.

The girls agreed, and the old lady took Wen Jiao away.

At this moment, Wen Yu had made up her mind to get Master Qing! First, get familiar with her, and then find an opportunity. Therefore, she let her sisters measure first.

Cousin Hui wanted to wait for her, but she didn't let her.

Going up to the second floor, in her previous life, she had never been here...

I originally thought that with Chef Qing's taste, this place would definitely be simple and elegant. But I didn't expect...

Oh my god, it’s such a mess… The whole house is filled to the brim with stuff!

There was only a piece of open space in front of the large table where clothes were measured. The rest of the place was covered with bundles even on the ground...

Wen Yu was speechless, but after a closer look, her eyes were not enough. There were all kinds of small paintings, materials, embroidery, embroidery pieces... tassels, jade buttons, etc., each of which had countless shapes. I had never seen them before! When I took them in my hands, I looked at them stupidly, one by one, and then another... I was immersed in them unconsciously.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Master Qing smiled and coughed softly, "Miss Wen?"

Wen Yu finally came to her senses and sat down unceremoniously on the stool in the middle of the bundle. "Oh, now that I'm here, I feel like a mouse in a rice jar. I don't know what to do!"

"Haha, girls also like these?" Master Qing looked at Wen Yu's skirt with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yeah. I like fun stuff!"

"I wonder what kind of clothes the girl likes to wear on a daily basis?

"When I was a kid, I liked to wear brightly colored clothes. Later, I started to like plain clothes. It seems like both are a bit extreme! Now, I want to ask Master Qing for his opinion."

Master Qing smiled, "The girl is born with a natural talent for clothes. She can handle many styles of clothes. Her skin color is also good, she is not picky about colors! She is also beautiful, and she can look good in bright or light colors. As the saying goes, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable!"

Wen Yu actually blushed a little when Master Qing praised her.

"Master Qing praised me."

"Looking at your age... I'd like to ask, are you engaged?" In fact, normally she would not ask too much even if she had an idea. But today, this girl... made her feel good about her for no reason. If she is not engaged, she has to consider what kind of family she will marry into, how her future mother-in-law will see her, and what impression she will give to her future husband...

"Not yet." Wen Yu said frankly.

"Oh!" Master Qing hesitated. After all, they were not familiar with each other, and it would be too presumptuous to say more. "The flower on the girl's skirt..." He changed the subject.

"This? This is what I drew. My girlfriend who grew up with me loves embroidery, so I embroidered it. Compared with what Master Qing has here... it's far worse. Master Qing laughed at me." Wen Yu looked around the room.

"What are you talking about, girl?! The description of this flower painting is beautiful, and the colors are natural, it's quite outstanding. The embroidery is delicate and quite confident. The girl who embroidered it is very smart! It looks like it's really a bit..." She almost said it, but swallowed it back, "It's somewhat similar to my embroidery skills, but it's still lacking a little trick. But it's already quite good!"

"Haha, a little trick is worth a thousand gold!"

"These are just survival skills." Master Qing sighed for no reason. "Oh, look at me... I'm sentimental again. Miss Wen, can I take your measurements?!"

After taking the measurements, Wen Yu said, "My female companion was not able to come with me today and she is mad at me! I want to buy a nice item to comfort her. Master Qing, please recommend one to me."

Master Qing was a little surprised: "It's a blessing to be a friend to a girl."

"Well, if we are going to be friends, let's be good friends for life!" Wen Yu was also very emotional.

"This..." Master Qing reached out and took out a small bag from a pile of messy things. "When I was young, I was not as busy as I am now. I embroidered some small patterns...Girl, take it back and give it to that girl. I'm sure she will like it."

Wen Yu opened it and saw two small embroidery pieces. "Hey, this one seems to be different from the one in your store..."

"No... girl, take it back and have a look!" Master Qing glanced outside.

Wen Yu understood and packed it up easily.

At this time, footsteps were heard, "Master Qing? Have you finished measuring Miss Wen? Jin Yue's staff is asking!" From the voice, it sounded like that of Manager Liu.
