Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

Seven or eight years ago, Lan was still young, and there was only the eldest wife in the family. She didn't know much about fashion. The design draft of Peony, although it seems like a lifetime away, she still remembers the joy of the moment when Feng Chuan Peony was born. Now that she is facing a new challenge, the eager pride in her blood was aroused by his words, and she replied: "Okay, I will learn."

"Official work is very hard." Mu Qing gave her a vaccination first, "It's not as free as when you were studying drawing alone at home."

"It's even more painful to waste your time." Zhi Lan made up her mind and would not waver.The day she decided to leave the Li family's mansion, she had already thought of the cheap days when she would no longer have clothes to eat and mouth to eat, and she had already prepared in her heart.

Thanks to "Timely Rain" Zhou Muqing, he is the lighthouse in her life, and he guides her direction every time.

"Then we've decided, it's too late to regret it?" Mu Qing grinned and teased, he hadn't been so happy in a long time, only in front of her.

Zhilan smiled lightly.

I don’t know who is playing a phonograph nearby, and a piece of "Peach Blossom Red" came intermittently: "Yingling valley, people are in the spring breeze. In the green waves of the boat, the water is splashing and the powder is smiling..."

The female voice was soft and brisk, and the melody made people unable to control themselves. Mu Qing stared at Zhi Lan, and there was an inexplicable ambiguous atmosphere circulating in the hall.

He pulled her up, pretending to dance with the music, turned her lightly, and took her into his arms. He liked her moving eyes, which contained love for him, and so did he.

Accompanied by the singing, he gently took her chin, and kissed her softly for a while, as if he smashed the colored glass figure in front of him with more effort.

Yan Cui was fetching water from the patio and ready to bring it into the room for scrubbing. Looking up at the window, the silhouette of the lovers embracing upstairs was reflected.

She was surprised, it turned out that the young lady had secretly communicated with the second young master a long time ago, and many things that the Li family could not figure out were connected back and forth. No wonder the young master of the Li family couldn't ask for it.She stared blankly for a while, then came back to her senses, and entered the room with the basin.

"It's getting late, it's time for you to go back." Although Zhilan was reluctant to let go, she absolutely couldn't keep him.Mu Qing understood what she meant, her eyes darkened.

"Okay, then I'll go back, you have a good rest, tomorrow I'll take you to Qi's tailor-made clothing store, I'll take care of posting the news." Mu Qing kissed her promise, "Lan'er Good night."

She watched him pull up his coat on the armchair and go downstairs.The wooden stairs creaked as soon as they were stepped on, the footsteps stopped, and the music that floated in did not know when to dissipate in the air.In the living room, her heart suddenly became empty, and she couldn't help but ran to open the window on the second floor and watched him off.

"Go and rest, you'll be busy tomorrow." Mu Qing seemed to have a feeling, he looked back at the person standing by the window again, waved to her, and got into the car at the gate of the courtyard.

Qi Mei was sitting in the living room of the Zhou mansion waiting for him, Mu Qing was taken aback when she saw her, and said, "Are you still asleep?"

Qi Meiting walked over gracefully, took his coat: "Where have you been?"

"Before I received a call saying that the firm was in a hurry. I have a headache, go and rest by yourself first." After speaking, Mu Qing went straight to the study.

Qi Mei had his woolen coat on her arm, and the place next to her arm was warmed by her body temperature. She was a little sad. Tonight, she specially changed into a new pink, blue and silver cheongsam with flowers for him to admire. , but the other side turned a blind eye.

Early in the morning, Mu Qing called the local "Jiangcheng Daily" and asked reporter Wang, whom he had known before, to meet in the reception room of Wande Commercial Bank.

After talking with reporter Wang, Mu Qing came to Yong'anli non-stop, and Zhi Lan got dressed and waited for him.When he saw her, his eyes lit up. She was wearing light suspender trousers, a white nylon long-sleeved shirt, and a long sweater casually. She had short hair and light makeup. She was young and beautiful, how could she tell? She was once married.

He recalled how haggard she was at his wedding, with heavy makeup that couldn't cover it, and she was completely different from the girly girl in front of him.

"I'm ready, let's go." She stepped forward and took his arm naturally and generously, and walked out of the hospital with a smile and got into the car.

"Towards my new life, let's go!" Zhilan encouraged herself and made a cheering gesture.Mu Qing tilted her head and looked at her with a smile, it's great to be back!
Mu Qing first took Zhilan to see the Qi family's property, visited the cloth shop and the silk shop, introduced them to her, and finally went back to the tailor shop.

Shopkeeper Cai in the shop glanced at Mu Qing and the two getting out of the car, and Uncle Zhou brought a woman in, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhou, please." With real power, Shopkeeper Cai treats him respectfully.

"Miss Zhou Zhilan, she will work in the shop. Shopkeeper Cai, the best craftsman in the shop, Mr. Li, can you show us?"

"Since you ordered, Mr. Zhou, I will take you there." Shopkeeper Cai led the way and walked to the back of the shop.

"This is Old Master Li." Shopkeeper Cai brought the two of them to the door of the innermost workshop, pointing to the old master who was using a tape measure to measure the body for female customers, and said to Mu Qing.

"Okay, go get busy." Mu Qing said to shopkeeper Cai.

Zhilan looked curiously. In the workshop, there was a large workbench and a pedal sewing machine made by Xiechang. On the workbench were a tape measure, a wooden ruler, cotton thread, chalk, scissors and other things. paper.

While taking measurements for the female customers, Mr. Li used the pencil in his ear to write and draw on the paper.The large cabinets in his room are full of bolts of cloth, colorful, and the satin is shining in the sky, very beautiful.

Mu Qing and Zhi Lan looked at each other, they had a good understanding, and waited at the door calmly.

Master Li measured the size, drew the sketch, and asked the female customer, and finally showed her the picture, explaining where to tighten the waist, where to hem, where to decorate, and where to hollow out... It took him a long time Time to talk carefully, the female guest nodded again and again, and said, then I will leave it all to you, old master Li!Satisfied and went out the door.

"You two, what's the matter?" He raised his head and asked. He had noticed that the two people at the door were introduced by the shopkeeper Cai who was nodding and bowing.

"Old Master Li, I am Zhou Muqing who is in charge of the new shop, and she is my friend Zhou Zhilan. She is new to the shop and wants to learn the art of making clothes from you. Please give me some pointers."

"Her? No, no!" Zhou Muqing, a young man, sounded polite and pleasing to the ear, turned his head to look at Zhi Lan up and down, and shook his head, "How can she suffer so much for a young lady like her? Persistence is what counts, I don't Dare to accept the charming young lady as an apprentice, when the time comes, the temper will come up to pick and choose, and you will be unhappy in every way. You are not an apprentice, but an ancestor. I think Mr. Zhou, you speak modestly, so I will explain it to you, otherwise, I will just reject it. of."

"Old Master Li, I'm not a young lady!" Zhi Lan didn't wait for Mu Qing to answer, and rushed to say, "I'm a woman who was divorced by my husband's family to make a living. Mr. Zhou kindly let me learn the craft of making a living. Old Li Master, I am not afraid of hard work, I am sincerely studying art, please accept me."

Zhi Lan's look of suffering from misfortune and her pleading tone made Mu Qing look at her in surprise.Maybe Zhilan's words had an effect on Old Master Li, he looked at her again, it turned out to be a poor person.He pondered: O man!So what about wealth, if you exhaust those rich and noble auras, you will be lost to everyone, and you will also need to go out to make a living.What's more, the ladies and wives of the rich family originally hid in the shade of the family. When the wind and rain came, they were like fragile flowers. They should learn some self-reliance skills.

"Okay, you stay here and have a try. Ugly words are in the head. I have always been picky about accepting apprentices. If you can't do what I tell you, don't say I don't give face to Uncle Zhou! My old Li has always disliked understanding. Work with bad people."

"Thank you, thank you, master!" Zhilan said with a smile that changed from cloudy to sunny, and bowed to old master Li while saying that.Looking at her, Mu Qing was infected by her simple joy, he loves her sweet smile the most, it nourishes his heart like a clear stream.

"Girl! Come and help me pull the cloth!" Old Master Li had no expression on his face, but his tone of voice was much softer.

"Yes! Master!" Zhilan rushed in.Seeing that she was busy, Mu Qing walked out slowly by herself.Lan'er's temperament is very different from when she was idle at home before, she learned from others' appearances, how to speak tactfully and decently, plus she was originally intelligent, and she has made great progress in the Li family, Mu Qing felt relieved a lot.

Zhilan worked with [-]% energy.When she came to the shop early every day, she first helped the master to clean the workshop. She collected all the rags, and according to the size of each customer, she helped the master measure the size of the required clothing materials, and finally sorted them out.Old master Li is worthy of being the leading master chef in Qi's tailor-made garment shop. He can't take care of himself every day when he receives customers. Since he has Zhilan as his helper, old master Li only feels that he can get twice the result with half the effort.

A few days passed in a flash, and he looked at Zhi Lan who was holding a ruler to measure the fabric. This girl is now proficient enough to measure a few feet and inches with a gesture, and she is also familiar with the characteristics of various materials. In just a few days, she Taking notes, asking questions, doing things, and thinking, Mr. Li's first impression of her has changed a lot.

"Old Li, is this your new apprentice? Yo, you're still a pretty girl, you're a prodigy!" Old Yu from the next-door workshop half teased and half ridiculed him. Old Master Li never accepted apprentices. Good workmanship naturally has high spirits, even shopkeeper Cai enthusiastically supports him, it is not surprising that there are some jealous people in the shop.

"You don't understand Lao Yu? This girl is a nepotism of Uncle Zhou. Can Lao Li provoke her? There is no way!" Hearing Lao Yu's words, several other masters gathered around.

"However, I think that girl is much smarter than your apprentice who is older. That guy Ah Fa is rough in his work and has no mind. How can he compare with Lao Li's apprentice?" someone said.

"You're still talking about me! Isn't your apprentice the same? You put the wrong size last time, so you can't apologize to him personally and do it again!" Lao Yu retorted.

"It's better to rely on one's own ability, rather than relying on Mr. Zhou's nepotism. You can't say it, you can't scold it, you can't take it seriously! Have you ever heard a doggerel? Let me read it to you: A pink skirt, A nephew is tied to one end, and a brother-in-law is tied to the other, the nephew is pulling the fourth nephew, and the brother-in-law is pulling the puppy, and there is a knot in the middle, strangling Xiaomin's thin neck." Another person shook his head and recited poems, Everyone except Mr. Li was laughing.
