Cui Sanning supported her grandmother: "Have you forgotten what I saw?"

"I just haven't tried it."

The old lady patted her head: "Yes, I showed it to you when I was making the pattern."

"But you haven't seen the finished product either."

This is true, Cui Sanning cannot deny it.

Grandma patted her hand and said, "I just wanted to show you."

"Besides me, there are several other embroiderers who have also gotten started."

"They are all the best embroiderers in Suzhou."

As they talked, the two of them arrived at the door of a room on the second floor. The old lady took out the key from her pocket and smiled kindly: "I carried the key with me specially to prevent your grandpa from causing trouble."

"Normally he can't get in even if it's locked."

Cui Sanning was amused. Grandpa and grandma were really cute.

The trouble that grandma said was that when the clothes were first made, grandpa was thinking that she would get married in the future and was unhappy. He stayed up in the middle of the night and hid the things.

From then on, grandma never let him enter the house again.

The door to the room was opened by grandma, and the two of them turned on the lights and walked in.

The room is large, with sewing machines, an embroidery booth, colorful embroidery threads, and rolls of carefully collected silk fabrics.

Half of the room was separated by white gauze, one on the left and one on the right. The gauze hanging from the beams made it difficult to see what was inside, and one could only vaguely see that it was a skirt.

Grandma did not rush to see what was inside the gauze tent. Instead, she turned around first and opened the curtains. The sunlight instantly filled the whole room and fell on the wooden floor from the gaps in the embroidery shed.

Because his eyes were hurt by embroidery, my grandfather specially asked people to convert this room into a room for my grandmother to use.

The room became brighter, and grandma came over and said, "Let's take a look at your sister's first."

As he spoke, he went to pull the curtain of the gauze tent on the left. With a clattering sound, a blue wedding dress and a white suit came into view.

Cui Sanning's eyes were filled with unabashed amazement. She knew that after making the pattern, her sister said she wanted blue. At that time, she said she had never seen a blue wedding dress.

Now it was presented in front of her so stunningly.

On the wedding dress were white butterflies embroidered by my grandmother, flying gracefully on the blue silk.

The so-called embroidery uses cloth as paper, needle as pen, and thread as ink.

It is a butterfly love flower pattern commonly used in Suzhou embroidery.

Paired with blue silk, my sister's wedding dress looks like a landscape painting in the deep blue sea.

Next to it is a white suit that echoes the wedding dress. Compared with the tediousness of the wedding dress, the suit is much simpler but still exquisite.

White is the background color, with a little light blue water wave and cloud texture on the front, and blue lotus flowers are embroidered on the cuffs and collar, echoing the wedding dress.

Cui Sanning carefully admired the embroidery on the wedding dress and found that the butterfly love flowers on it were different from the usual traditional ones.

She wondered: "This pattern is so special."

Grandma said: "The pattern was given by your brother."

"He said he and Xiaobai drew it together before and asked me to embroider it according to it."

Cui Sanning looked at this unique pattern and thought calmly.

Grandma often said that people and clothes are inseparable. The clothes made by grandma may not necessarily be the most beautiful, but they must be the most suitable.

She seemed to understand the meaning of the embroidery on it.

Maybe others would think that Su Mubai is the lotus flower, the jade in the clear ocean, polite and lawful.

But it's not. He is the bottomless sea, and the clear blue is where he lets others see him.

As for the abyss and whirlpool inside, only Song Shoushuang could glimpse it.

To Su Mubai, she was a free and unrestrained butterfly, while he was a beast trapped in a cage, a completely different person from her. Perhaps this was why he didn't like her when they first met.

He didn't like the way she looked at him, or the way she smiled. In fact, he understood that it wasn't dislike, but jealousy.

And that lotus was a gift from Song Shoushuang. To Su Mubai, during his darkest and most embarrassing time, Song Shoushuang was like his own Bodhisattva, holding the white lotus into his dark world.

Cui Sanning suddenly remembered her sister's overwhelming love that night: "I feel sorry for him."

So she relied on that love to weave lotus for him alone.

She doesn't just love him, what shows love more than love is heartache.

Cui Sanning looked at the wedding dress and asked, "When was my brother's suit made?"

Grandma said: "Two years ago, I did it one after another for a year."

"Our daughter prepares clothes for her coming-of-age ceremony before she turns eighteen."

"You start preparing for your wedding ceremony when you turn eighteen. You and your sister started preparing for your wedding when you were eighteen."

"It takes many years. From the selection of silk and brocade materials to the meticulous craftsmanship of each stitch."

"As for the man's wedding attire, I won't start preparing it until after we get engaged."

Speaking of which, grandma smiled: "But your sister and your brother are not engaged either."

Pointing to the white suit: "Your sister asked me to make it."

Patting Cui Sanning's hand on her arm: "When she told me two years ago, you were the same as you are today."

"So, your brother is stupid and keeps talking about when your sister will get married every day."

"Actually, Xiaobai, I've already prepared it."

Her wrinkled brows and eyes were filled with relief as she said, "Grandma, even if you and your sister are engaged, if you and your sister don't agree, then I won't make their clothes."

"Even if it's my grandson."

Thinking of something, she joked: "The grannies who contributed to your wedding have asked me several times when they would make the other one."

Deliberately teasing her: "Now we can inform them."

Cui Sanning coquettishly said: "Grandma."

Grandma smiled and patted Cui Sanning's hand, and said lovingly: "Girl, go and see yours."

"It's been so many years and you haven't seen ready-made clothes."

Cui Sanning nodded, stepped forward and grabbed a corner of the gauze tent, and slowly opened it.

The pure red classical wedding dress perfectly blends traditional and modern aesthetics. The lifelike phoenix embroidery and gorgeous and upright phoenix crown fully display the beauty of traditional Chinese culture.

The collar reveals the delicate collarbone and neck, and the skirt abandons the straight skirt of the traditional dragon and phoenix gown and the pleats of the Xiuhe suit.

Instead, it was made into a trailing princess skirt.

Because she was afraid of compromising her height, grandma did not make the tail very long, but there were many jewels and jade on both the phoenix embroidery and the tail of the skirt. Compared with my sister’s fresh and refined look, this one is full of dignity, luxury and grandeur. .

The embellished gemstone beads sparkle in the sun, and you can imagine how beautiful and agile it will be when walking without wearing it.

It was so beautiful, beyond Cui Sanning's expectations.

Because unlike her sister's wedding dress, she was involved in both the design and material selection of her sister's wedding dress, so she had expectations for what it would look like in the end.

But Cui Sanning's is different. She didn't even choose the color herself.
