After quite some time, people finally came out from each room.
The men were refreshed and the women were all blushing.
He Jiuniang couldn't help but click her tongue. Was the effect really that obvious?
Sensing that Madam Sun wasn't really looking in her direction, He Jiuniang deliberately moved closer, winking and asking, "Mother, how's the quality of that nightgown? Is it comfortable to wear?"
Sun's eyes darted around, and the other young wives blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this.
Finally, Madam Sun glared at her and said, "Get out of here. Why are you staring at me all day instead of doing anything productive?"
He Jiuniang wouldn't have it, and said in a serious tone, "How is this neglecting my duties? Didn't I have you try them on last night? You definitely need to give me feedback this morning. If there's anything wrong, I'll definitely have the factory workers make alterations! I'm doing all this for our business, how can you say I'm neglecting my duties?"
As she spoke, she wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, looking aggrieved.
Sun: ...
Others: ...
Thinking back to what He Jiuniang had said to them after they put it on yesterday, Sun realized that she had misunderstood. But looking at He Jiuniang's winking and gesturing, she was definitely talking about that kind of thing!
Mrs. Sun was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it.
As the eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Yu quickly stepped forward to mediate, blushing as she smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, I think it looks quite nice on me; the material is soft and gentle on the skin. However, it seems a bit chilly to wear this season. Could you add sleeves?"
The others nodded in agreement, explaining that if their hands were exposed while sleeping, they would wake up in the middle of the night from the cold.
"Of course, you can just add sleeves to other styles. This dress is meant to be worn when the weather gets warmer in a few days, so there's no need to alter it."
He Jiuniang nodded. She had been so focused on being sexy lately that she had forgotten about the temperature.
It's springtime now, so long sleeves and trousers are still appropriate.
So, after breakfast, He Jiuniang hurriedly went back to her room to work on her design.
The women in the room looked at each other, and seeing the blush on each other's faces, they felt embarrassed again.
That dress, that skirt, it really is...
The men hadn't said a word the whole time, but their eyes were filled with an unusual kind of joy.
Well, everything is understood without words.
Two days later, the first batch of underwear was completed, but only about twenty pieces were made, and people still needed to try them on.
Having had the experience of wearing nightgowns before, the young wives of the Lu family were not too resistant, but holding the two pieces of cloth in front of them, they really didn't know how to put them on.
He Jiuniang tried the clothes on herself for them to see, and said, "After you put them on, remember to adjust them. Bend down and move the flesh on both sides. This way they will be more comfortable to wear. Take them back and try them on yourselves, and then give me your feedback."
Lotus was among them this time, and she was the shyest of them all, as she was still an unmarried girl.
But He Jiuniang was very serious, and it was also for the sake of the family business, so she gritted her teeth, blushed, picked up a piece of clothing in her size, and ran away.
Even He Jiuniang herself put it on. After a short while, He Jiuniang waited for them to return, but no one came out.
As usual, He Jiuniang went to Sun's room first.
Sun blushed and scolded her, "What kind of rubbish is this? Who would dare to go out dressed like this?"
As she spoke, she straightened up, deliberately letting He Jiuniang see.
He Jiu Niang's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected Sun Shi to be so capable.
Coming to his senses, he proudly straightened his posture and said, "Everyone has one! Look at me, I've made it through just like that!"
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes arrogantly.
Sun: ...
What she was trying to say was that it was too embarrassing to go out like this, and what was this third son's wife thinking?
If even the Sun family is like this, then others must be too embarrassed to go out for the same reason. He Jiu Niang sighed, realizing how much she had worried about this family.
She proudly showed off in each room, and finally managed to get all the women out. They were all flushed and kept their heads down, too embarrassed to look at He Jiu Niang.
He Jiuniang suddenly felt exhausted. These people were all quite good, so what was there to be ashamed of?
"Third sister-in-law, we feel embarrassed to wear this at home. If we wear it out, people outside will say our family is improper."
Yu's face was flushed, and she stammered as she spoke. She couldn't even imagine how crazy her husband would go if he came home that night and saw her like this.
This is something you should only wear to show your own man; it's really not appropriate to wear it out in public as ordinary clothing!
"How is it indecent? It's a symbol of womanhood. Besides, it's good for your health. Just listen to me, or I'll set an example and wear it out for a few days so everyone can get used to it."
He Jiuniang didn't care in her heart, but on the surface she showed an attitude of "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Sun said, "You've lost your man, what will people say if you go out like this? No, I... I'll wear it..."
She absolutely couldn't bear to let her daughter-in-law and daughter take such a risk; she was too old for that…
Before she could even figure out how to win him over, He Jiuniang rolled her eyes and said, "You're getting on in years, aren't you afraid people will say you're indecent?"
Sun: ...She really wants to hit someone, right now! Immediately!
"Then what do you suggest, third sister-in-law?"
Fearing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would fight, Qin quickly spoke up to defuse the situation.
He Jiuniang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it the same way. Let all the female workers and embroiderers in the workshop wear them. Go and have them make them according to their own sizes now. They can try them on when they get home tonight and wear them to work tomorrow. They can also give us feedback."
"I think this is a good idea! That way, it won't just be the women in our family wearing it, and other people won't be able to say anything!"
Lu Guilan agreed with delight, thinking that this was a really good idea.
Anyway, this thing uses very little material, so it's really not expensive when you consider the cost.
The high price is due to the workmanship and design.
The others also fell silent. There's a saying that goes, "Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone!"
So He Jiuniang went to the workshop with her head held high and gave instructions. Everyone looked at He Jiuniang standing proudly, and then at their own. They felt shy but also excited at the thought of wearing that thing and being like He Jiuniang.
When the female workers finished work in the evening, their faces were flushed with an inexplicable blush. They went home much faster than usual, and the first thing they did when they got home was to hide in their rooms and put on this thing as He Jiuniang had taught them.
Sure enough, it stood up much more upright instantly!
That night, most families in the village turned off their lights and went to bed earlier than usual.
Especially the female workers who had started families, they all came to work early the next morning with dark circles under their eyes.
Fortunately, they hadn't forgotten He Jiu Niang's instructions and had all come wearing underwear. Their eyes revealed shyness and excitement; they hadn't expected that little thing could be so useful.
