The person who came to the Shen Mansion to deliver the cloth in the afternoon was the owner of Tianxiang Silk and Satin Shop, whose surname was Wu.
Manager Wu was still a little nervous because he almost tricked the young lady of the mansion into being a scammer the day before.
At that time, although the three young masters did not blame him, and the eldest young lady even spoke for him, he was still dependent on others. According to the attitude of the three young masters towards the young lady at that time, if they had whispered something in their ear, his job might be in danger!
Therefore, when he met Liu, Guan and Zhang again, he was particularly respectful.
"Greetings to the Madam and the Young Ladies!"
Madam Shen waved her hand, and he began to lead the servants to place the cloths they brought on the prepared table one by one.
Since the host family wants to make clothes, the fabrics and patterns brought are naturally the most fashionable at the time.
Mrs. Shen glanced at all the fabrics and then turned her gaze to Liu Wanyun.
"You are young and have good taste, go and choose!"
Liu Wanyun understood and knew that Madam Shen wanted her to help her choose, so she pulled Guan and Zhang together and slowly looked at each piece of cloth, touching it carefully and discussing in a low voice what color to choose and what style to make.
They made up their minds that since this was their first time attending a banquet, they must make the women of the Shen family famous.
Especially Mrs. Shen, their aunt must make her look impressive at the banquet!
In this way, she can accept the three of them as soon as possible, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can join forces to make money together!
Shopkeeper Wu carefully accompanied by the side, carefully explaining the effects of various fabrics after they were made.
Liu Wanyun and the other two listened to his explanation with smiles on their faces.
Only after looking at all the fabrics did Liu Wanyun speak, "Shopkeeper Wu, did you bring any clothing samples?"
"Yes, yes, of course!"
Shopkeeper Wu quickly took a booklet from the side.
Liu Wanyun flipped through the clothes and found that the clothes were similar to the ones they were wearing. They were mostly in the Ming Dynasty style. The top was a stand-up collar, double-breasted and longer than the knees, and the bottom was a pleated skirt. At most, some of them had some decorative details like vests.
They all look good!
However, the styles are similar!
If you want to make a splash at a banquet, you have to be unique.
"No other styles?"
Shopkeeper Wu was a little embarrassed, because his clothing sample album had the most styles in Puning City!
"That's all. What style would the young lady like?"
However, he was embarrassed because he felt that the young lady's question made him lose face in front of the lady.
Madam Shen's family owns a silk and satin shop, so she is an expert!
As for these three young ladies of ordinary backgrounds, he didn't believe that they had ever seen such fine fabrics and so many styles of clothes, and he looked down on them in his heart.
Liu Wanyun saw the disdain in his eyes, but she didn't bother with it. She took out a drawing from her sleeve and handed it to him.
The one above is the clothing pattern she drew hastily after not sleeping at noon.
"Look at this, can you do it?"
The style of the clothes was different from all the styles in his booklet. The top was a short and close-fitting dress, paired with a chest-length skirt and a shawl on the outside.
This is Liu Wanyun’s favorite Tang Dynasty Hanfu style.
Shopkeeper Wu took the paper and took a look at it, then looked up at Liu Wanyun, and then shifted his gaze back to the drawing. He was a little bit unbelieving. This style was quite special, but he didn't know what effect it would have when worn. Would the ladies like it?
"Well, it's possible, but..."
He turned his gaze to Madam Shen, after all, this was the one who kept her word.
Mrs. Shen waved and asked him to hand over the drawing.
"What's this weird style? It even exposes a part of the chest. Isn't that embarrassing?"
Mrs. Shen looked disgusted. She thought it was a great style, but it turned out to be so different. She intuitively thought that the daughter-in-law was trying to attract attention and highlight her own extraordinary talents!
"Auntie, we who run a silk and satin shop can't be stubborn in our thinking. We have to be creative and innovative. Only then can we lead the trend!"
Mrs. Shen didn't hear much of this, but Shopkeeper Wu agreed with it deeply, and his eyes changed when he looked at the eldest young lady's wife.
Recently, he has indeed been thinking about how to come up with some new clothing styles so that the silk shop he manages can stand out in Puning City, become the best among the Shen family's shopkeepers this year, and get more dividends.
However, innovation always involves risks.
Although he thought the clothing style drawn by the young lady was novel, he didn't dare to say much!
Madam Shen frowned. She didn't intend to try it on herself first. "There's nothing wrong with what you said, but your style is a bit too extreme. You should pick a few styles from Shopkeeper Wu's catalogue!"
Zhang Xinyue, who was standing by, was getting anxious. "Auntie, you're too old-fashioned. The neckline of this dress is a little revealing. Besides, don't you have a shawl? It can cover it up!"
Madam Shen glared at her. She actually dared to call her old-fashioned in front of outsiders. She needed Madam Rong to teach her the rules for two more days.
But no matter how they persuaded her, Mrs. Shen just didn't agree.
Liu Wanyun had no choice but to pick two styles from Manager Wu's brochure.
One for Mrs. Shen, and one for the three of them.
After choosing the style, you need to decide on the fabric pattern and other factors based on the style.
When it comes to clothing, Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue trust Liu Wanyun's aesthetic taste more. The two of them wandered around the cloth, watching Liu Wanyun compare the various patterns and fabrics.
Zhang Xinyue was bored watching from the side, so she casually asked, "Shopkeeper Wu, how much is this cloth per piece?"
Shopkeeper Wu replied respectfully, "The prices vary, from a few taels for the regular ones to dozens of taels for the expensive ones."
