"That is to say, the design drawings I gave Fang Lan today are based on other people's achievements." He explained: "It's not what you think."
Hearing what he said, Ye Sheng's eyelashes trembled, and the awkwardness and anger in his heart gradually disappeared.
At first, he was too surprised, so he couldn't help but think about it.After all, ordinary men either disdain or are ashamed to see women's things, especially those that are most close-fitting.And Lu Mingyuan drew it so smoothly.
He almost didn't know anything about his husband's past.
He is a Shuang'er, and he looks no different from ordinary men in appearance. Most men like girls who are good-looking, and they don't like Shuang'er, so seeing that Lu Mingyuan knows women so well, he unconsciously feels a little worried.
But after thinking about it carefully, they have been together for a few months, and he understands Lu Mingyuan's behavior.
Since he once refused to take a concubine and said that he would only live with him as two people in the future, he didn't have to think about it anymore.
So what if he doesn't know about his past?He can't manage the previous things, but in the future, he will take care of and accompany him in his life, it's fine if he doesn't.
Anyway, such a good husband is his, and they will always be together in the future!
Ye Sheng, who quickly figured things out, smiled easily and said, "What do you think I am thinking?"
Hearing Ye Sheng's teasing tone, Lu Mingyuan was slightly taken aback, and then gently pinched his husband's cheek with his still wet hand.
He smiled and said slowly in a slightly serious tone: "No matter what you think of, just forget it. Ye Sheng, I married you, and I also said that I will only want you alone in the future. You still can't be completely relieved, can you?" ?”
Ye Sheng lowered his eyes halfway, his expression faltered for a while, and he felt like he had done something wrong, "Actually..."
As he spoke, he felt that his husband's hand that was still touching his face was a little cold, so he raised his hand to try to take his husband's hand away, but Lu Mingyuan shook his hand back, and the cool touch wrapped half of his palm.
After a momentary pause, he continued: "Actually, I believe in you! It's just...maybe a little... a little...be jealous!"
Ye Sheng's expression was tangled, and his voice was like a mosquito at the end.He believed it, otherwise he wouldn't have been so sure that Xianggong would not agree to take Ye Rou as his concubine.
Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan had a clear smile in his eyes, but he still said seriously: "Don't think about those illusory things in the future!"
And asked him if he knew women well?Where did Ye Sheng think it was? Would he still not be able to guess?The events of his previous life were too far away, not to mention that he had almost forgotten them, and he didn't want to mention them again.
However, his little husband seems to be very curious about his past.
Ye Sheng, who had always followed his father's order, heard the seriousness in Lu Mingyuan's mouth, and immediately agreed with a smile, "Then I won't think about it in the future."
It seemed that he really wanted to understand, so he was relieved.Xiao Yesheng's emotions came and went quickly.
"Also." Lu Mingyuan said again, "Remember, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust."
"I remember." Ye Sheng smiled.
After speaking, he got up and walked to the kitchen.
The laundry was almost done, so Lu Mingyuan hung the clothes on the bamboo poles in the yard, poured out the water, and went into the kitchen.
Ye Sheng was still chopping vegetables on the chopping board, the kitchen knife was chopping loudly.If it wasn't for the fact that Ye Sheng had already thought about it, he would have suspected that his husband was venting his anger with vegetables.
However, no matter what Ye Sheng thought.He suddenly felt that it wasn't teasing, and it would be nice to have some serious affection once in a while.
Lu Mingyuan walked over and embraced Ye Sheng from behind. After feeling the person in his arms stiffen for a moment, he lightly knelt his head on Ye Sheng's shoulder, and whispered softly in his ear: "Would you like me?" Cut so many vegetables?"
"You..." With Lu Mingyuan's voice, the warm breath lingered around Ye Sheng's ears and neck, causing a pang of itching, which made him want to dodge.
No matter how long they've been together, Ye Sheng can't help but blush and heartbeat for such intimacy, and although his husband likes to tease him occasionally, such gentle intimacy is rare in broad daylight.
"...Didn't you say that you want to eat dumplings?" The kitchen knife in Ye Sheng's hand stopped for a moment and then moved again.
"Is it."
"Ah."
"Ye Sheng... I like you." He hugged his husband and whispered.After being together for so long, it was the first time for him to speak such words so bluntly, and he couldn't help but feel hot.
"..." Ye Sheng paused for a moment and froze again.
……
According to his wishes, Fang Lan hastily started selling the new Ruqun.
Choose women of different ages and classes to try on for a show, from girls about ten years old to middle-aged women who are already mothers, from ordinary women in common clothes to luxurious rich ladies.
It seems that overnight, people passing and going on the street wear a different style of clothes. Such an abrupt appearance is not unacceptable. On the contrary, it should be worn like this, no matter who it is It's still brocade, such clothes are really unusual and beautiful to wear.
So, women from ordinary families began to inquire about how such clothes are made, and what should be paid attention to when tailoring them.
And the ladies with a little more wealth began to pay attention to where such clothes were spread and which embroiderers made them.And the answer they all got was the same, the newly opened splendid silk and satin shop.
At this time, Fang Lan asked people to hang the new chest-length skirts that had been prepared a long time ago in the shop one by one. There were cotton ones, silk ones, simple and elegant ones, and gorgeous ones. From low to low, there is a wide range of clothes available.
Whether it's a girl from an ordinary family or a lady from a wealthy family, they can't help but go into the store to take a look.The ready-to-wear business, which had been sluggish at first, suddenly became hot, and of course it was just their sales that were booming.
The orders came one by one as scheduled, and Fang Lan was beaming with joy when reporting to him.
Fang Lan told him that she met the mother of Baihualou, and the two coincided with each other. It happened that the other party wanted the girls in her building to catch up with the popularity of this new style of skirt. Not only did she agree to the deal, but she also agreed. He took the opportunity to recommend the style of the woman's underwear he drew to the madam, who was amazed for a long time.
The procuress took a few pieces back for the girl to try, but the next morning he couldn't wait to sign a contract with her to order underwear. His eagerness even surpassed the order for the skirt. In this case, Fang Lan and Baihualou has confirmed a long-term cooperation in the future.
You know, women who are prostitutes are either busy with customers or practicing their talents, and rarely have the time and patience to make clothes by themselves.
Therefore, the business with the brothel is a major income of the cloth village embroidery workshop, and it is also a favorite of the merchants in the cloth industry in the city.
"It's just that the girls in the building are bold enough to wear such...clothes." Fang Lan blushed when she said this, as if she was embarrassed to say it, but she couldn't help being excited to say it.
"Baihualou, this is really the right place! Seeing how happy the old bustard is, I think that if I give that...clothes to other buildings, I'm sure the people there will like it too. "
Lu Mingyuan listened quietly, compared to the joy of the woman in front of him, he seemed much calmer.
Although Fang Lan was ashamed to speak and didn't explain what clothes it was, it was obvious that what she was talking about was the kind of women's underwear with a modern style that he drew on the drawings.
"I started a business in Baihualou, and I plan to try it in a few other buildings in this town... It's a little small, not as good as Baihualou, but it's a piece of meat after all."
She was eager to try, but Lu Mingyuan said coldly: "The Baihualou you mentioned, who provided the clothes before?"
Fang Lan suppressed her smile, and thought about it seriously, "It seems to be with Liuyun Forging Workshop all the time."
He noticed the word 'always' in her words, and asked, "So, all the business in the brothel is done by regular merchants?"
"It's usually like this." Fang Lan nodded, and then said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter who it is in the past. Business matters are all about competing with each other, and each depends on his own ability."
He was silent, and after a while he said: "Don't be too aggressive, do business well with Baihualou, but let's forget about going to other buildings as you said."
Fang Lan was taken aback, puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Isn't the more business the better?Why even hold back.
"being targeted."
Even on the day the shop first opened, someone was instigated to provoke trouble on purpose.Now, within a few days of their opening, they are ostentatiously grabbing meat from other old merchants, which is undoubtedly to attract people's hatred.
He had just arrived here, and his foundation was not stable, and he couldn't compare with those old shops with deep family background.Business must be done little by little, but it should not be too ostentatious now, otherwise it will cause trouble.
He is not afraid of trouble, and doing business will inevitably offend people in the competition, but he doesn't want to cause trouble right now!
Fang Lan probably understood what he meant, and gave up the idea of going to other brothels to talk, and began to concentrate on selling in the shop. In her spare time, she thought about what kind of clothes look better, and how the colors and materials should be matched.
She found designing clothes to be a very interesting and useful thing to do.She originally wanted to sell dresses with more novel designs, but was also denied by Lu Mingyuan, saying that it was too late.
The business of Jinxiu Silk and Satin Village began to decline slowly after the initial enthusiasm.
The reason is that some girls learned to do it by themselves after careful research after buying it. The most important thing is that seeing the popularity of his ready-made clothes, other cloth merchants in the city began to imitate the trend and launched styles similar to those in their shops. The same jacket.
Fang Lan was indignant about this, "It's only been a few days, and you steal our things and compete with us for customers."
Lu Mingyuan is very calm, what can he do, can he not let other merchants follow suit?There is no such thing as patent law in this world.
And this result can be said to be within his expectations.
Just like the hot pot launched in his restaurant, although no one knew the recipe at the beginning, their family sold it very well, but after seeing this, other merchants immediately started to find ways to ask for the recipe.
Some people wanted to discuss the price with him and formally buy it, but he refused.Some of them started from the chef buddies in his shop. Fortunately, the people in the shop were all carefully selected by him and signed the relevant contracts. In the end, no one leaked the recipe.
But if one road fails, go the other way. If you can't get the formula from them, you will search for it yourself.About a month after he was selling hot pot, another restaurant also found chili peppers, and soon most restaurants learned to use chili peppers in stir-fry.
However, other people's imitations are still inferior to his family's in terms of taste.It took a while to find chili, and it took some work to find other spices.So although the number of customers has decreased, it has also stabilized, and the reputation and foundation have been laid.
The business changes of silk and satin villages are similar to those of restaurants. The difference is that the decline of restaurants is faster than before, because clothes can be made the same after buying a piece and looking at it. This research process is much simpler than looking for hot pot accessories. up.
At this time, Lu Mingyuan asked Fang Lan to introduce a new style that was modified from the current popular chest-length skirt.Didn’t the jacket also have narrow sleeves and wide sleeves, cross-collar and double-breasted, etc. If you put on a jacket, you can have another visual effect.
As a result, the number of customers in the shop increased, and within a few days, other shops continued to follow suit.He came and went like this, and the number of guests increased and decreased, but he still didn't care much about it.
What he wanted was not a momentary excitement, and he didn't expect to make a lot of money just by relying on a few new clothes, and he was far ahead in this industry.What he wants is that when everything is stable in the end, they still have business to do, so that they won't be squeezed by the old shops, and they won't be left behind.
Ancient times are not compared to modern times, and it is not a fast-paced era. When various factors add up, doing business has to be done step by step and progress little by little.
Just like in the restaurant before, Lu Ming is far from looking at the ancient and traditional single-entry bookkeeping.He taught Fang Lan how to make tables and how to write simple and understandable Arabic numerals.
As far as those few numbers were concerned, Fang Lan learned quickly, and at the same time expressed her admiration for her employer from the bottom of her heart.
Using this method to keep accounts is really simpler and clearer than the one she had painstakingly learned before. You can know the direction of the property and the change in income at a glance, and it is not easy for the people below to be greedy.
Putting what she learned into practice, Fang Lan quickly applied the numbers to other places in the store.For example, custom-made clothes for customers are packed when they come to pick them up, for the sake of beauty and convenience for customers to take away.
But how to distinguish which piece of clothing is whose, you have to mark it on the package, then record it in the book, and compare it when someone comes to pick up the item.
Fang Lan just changed this kind of logo from complicated Chinese characters to numbers that can be formed in one stroke.Everything was going on in an orderly manner, but occasionally, there was a little deviation.
That day, Ye Sheng went to his family's Jinxiu satin shop to pick up clothes.There are two pieces, one is his and the other is Lu Mingyuan's.Spring is here, and it's time for them to change their clothes.I heard from his husband-in-law that the style and color of these two clothes were chosen by him himself.
And although he was trying to make clothes for the two of them by himself, his time was limited and he was not proficient. It would take several days to make a piece of clothing, let alone the two of them.
When we arrived at the silk and satin village, there were quite a lot of people inside.Fang Lan was busy in front of the counter getting clothes for the people who came to pick up the clothes. When she saw Ye Sheng, she called enthusiastically, "Ma'am."
"...I'll get the clothes." Ye Sheng said.
"Okay." Fang Lan answered him with a smile while taking out a stack of packed clothes from the cabinet below.
There was a young girl beside her urging: "Can you hurry up? I'm here to pick up the young lady's clothes, and I'm going back within the stipulated time."
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you right away." Fang Lan rummaged through the stack of square packages she took out by number, and quickly found the clothes that the little girl wanted to take and handed them to her.
A man next to him said impatiently: "Didn't I come before her? Why did you get it for her first?"
Fang Lan spread out the clothes she brought out on the counter, glanced at them briefly, and gave him a dress wrapped in a square shape, and said with a smile: "Brother, I remember you and that girl came together of."
"Nonsense, obviously I was one step ahead of her!" the man said angrily.
Another young man sneered at him: "What is there to argue with a little girl?"
"What did you say? I obviously came here earlier than her!" The man was instantly furious after being told, "You dare to make irresponsible remarks to me, ah?" He looked at Fang Lan and shouted, "Tell him Clearly, the one that came first should be given to me first.”
"Stop arguing, aren't you here to get clothes?" Fang Lan immediately comforted her when she saw that her posture was wrong.If you want to quarrel, you can go out to quarrel, don't stay with her, there are still guests.
From time to time, customers would ask her how much this piece of cloth cost and how to sell that piece of cloth, and Fang Lan responded one by one.
An old woman smacked her lips again and muttered: "If you want to get clothes, don't waste time talking here."
People are always impatient with waiting.
Fang Lan was one head and two big, and usually there were not so many people, so why did they catch up at this time.Ye Sheng is still standing there next to him, is it really okay to keep him waiting?
Searching with the fastest speed, Fang Lan finally found the clothes of the three people present and gave them to each other. After they all left, she apologized to Ye Sheng: "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."
Ye Sheng felt that it didn't matter, so he just waited for a while, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's okay, I was late in the first place."
"Need to get...two pieces of clothes, right?" Fang Lan asked while looking for them, the original order was broken by a flurry of fuss just now.
"Yes, two pieces." Ye Sheng replied immediately.
"No. [-] and No. [-]..." she murmured to herself after comparing the brochures.
After getting the clothes, Ye Sheng looked at the two things wrapped in a square shape in his hand, and asked doubtfully, "Which one is his? Which one is mine?"
Fang Lan said with a smile, "The green ones belong to my wife, and the blue ones belong to my boss."
"Oh." Ye Sheng continued, "Is he here?"
It's obvious who this 'he' is, Fang Lan thought for a while and said, "No, it probably won't come..."
That is to go to the small restaurant on South Street or the restaurant on East Street.
After coming out of the shop, Ye Sheng strolled around the street again, bought some oil and salt that was almost out of home, and went back.
In the evening, after they finished their meal, Ye Sheng said casually, "I went to get those two clothes back today."
"You went out? Alone?"
"Well, the weather is fine today, and the street is quite lively." Ye Sheng was walking towards the bathroom, turned around and said to him, "The clothes are on the small table in the bedroom, and I haven't unpacked them yet."
Lu Mingyuan walked towards the inner bed without paying much attention. The things on the table were packaged in their shop.
He opened one of them in twos and twos, and inside was a light blue dress, which was the one he ordered for Ye Sheng.After taking it out and looking at it carefully, he slightly hooked his lips, which was not bad.
After he casually opened another box, he froze.
Inside is a translucent white gauze.
He took it out from the inside and looked at it. It was all made of gauze from top to bottom. The front placket was wide open, and occasionally there were one or two pieces of pure white lining inside, but it was definitely something that should be hidden or exposed when worn. dew.
Judging by the style and figure, this is still a man's clothes, and there is a pair of white silk pants inside, similar to bloomers, which are tightened from the ankle, but are all cut from the side of the thigh down.
In all fairness, this dress is exquisitely designed and definitely very attractive to wear, especially the bright red silk belt in the middle, just this bright color abruptly changes the whole dress from its original plainness to its taste.
But, who the hell would wear these clothes? !
Lu Mingyuan wanted to laugh, if he took the wrong one, he would have taken it wrong, and he even brought back such a dress!
He casually glanced at the logo on the wrapping paper, a number that looked more like a nine than a six, did Fang Lan read it backwards, or did he not learn how to write numbers?I just brought him the clothes of the young lady in the building.
After Ye Sheng came out wearing a white cotton undershirt after taking a shower, Lu Mingyuan looked at him, and suddenly thought of something and said with a half-smile: "Ye Sheng, did you buy this dress?"
Ye Sheng didn't care about the difference between the word 'buy' and the word 'take' in his mouth, and replied casually: "Well, what's wrong?"
So he took out the whole dress from the box again and showed it to Ye Sheng.
For a moment, Ye Sheng was stunned, unable to speak.
After a while, he said, "Where did you get it from?"
He wondered: "Didn't you buy it? You just admitted it!"
"I... I didn't buy it, I just went to get it." Ye Sheng stammered as he looked at the remaining wrapping paper.
How can there be such clothes?
Lu Mingyuan smiled, and said to himself: "I just bought it, I didn't know that Xiao Yesheng still liked this tune... Well, it tastes good."
"I didn't!" Ye Sheng retorted anxiously, "How could I..."
"Do you think it's for day or night?" Lu Mingyuan smiled deeper, "...Is it for wearing inside or outside?"
day or night?Inside or outside?
Ye Sheng blushed when he asked, "You...don't take that...put it down!"
Lu Mingyuan still held the dress indifferently, and asked again: "Ye Sheng, do you want to wear it for me or for you?"
This question instantly made Ye Sheng's face redder, what to wear for me or for him?
Can this kind of clothes be worn?
Whether it's him or Lu Mingyuan, if he wants to wear such clothes, he doesn't even dare to think about it!
Ye Sheng collected himself, looked up and saw the playfulness in his husband's smile, walked over quickly angrily, and tried to grab it, "Throw it away!"
"Ye Sheng's clothes are over there, so the rest is for me?" He easily dodged Ye Sheng's hand to snatch the clothes, and said again: "So Ye Sheng wanted to see..."
"Throw it away!"
"Actually, we can discuss it." He raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and replied calmly.
"give me!"
"You want to wear it? That's fine!"
"..."
After fighting for a while, Ye Sheng finally snatched the clothes from his husband-in-law, and then walked out the door.
Lu Mingyuan withdrew his smile, followed him, and said sternly behind him: "Don't really throw it away, you have to change it tomorrow."
Hearing what he said, Ye Sheng's eyelashes trembled, and the awkwardness and anger in his heart gradually disappeared.
At first, he was too surprised, so he couldn't help but think about it.After all, ordinary men either disdain or are ashamed to see women's things, especially those that are most close-fitting.And Lu Mingyuan drew it so smoothly.
He almost didn't know anything about his husband's past.
He is a Shuang'er, and he looks no different from ordinary men in appearance. Most men like girls who are good-looking, and they don't like Shuang'er, so seeing that Lu Mingyuan knows women so well, he unconsciously feels a little worried.
But after thinking about it carefully, they have been together for a few months, and he understands Lu Mingyuan's behavior.
Since he once refused to take a concubine and said that he would only live with him as two people in the future, he didn't have to think about it anymore.
So what if he doesn't know about his past?He can't manage the previous things, but in the future, he will take care of and accompany him in his life, it's fine if he doesn't.
Anyway, such a good husband is his, and they will always be together in the future!
Ye Sheng, who quickly figured things out, smiled easily and said, "What do you think I am thinking?"
Hearing Ye Sheng's teasing tone, Lu Mingyuan was slightly taken aback, and then gently pinched his husband's cheek with his still wet hand.
He smiled and said slowly in a slightly serious tone: "No matter what you think of, just forget it. Ye Sheng, I married you, and I also said that I will only want you alone in the future. You still can't be completely relieved, can you?" ?”
Ye Sheng lowered his eyes halfway, his expression faltered for a while, and he felt like he had done something wrong, "Actually..."
As he spoke, he felt that his husband's hand that was still touching his face was a little cold, so he raised his hand to try to take his husband's hand away, but Lu Mingyuan shook his hand back, and the cool touch wrapped half of his palm.

Ye Sheng's expression was tangled, and his voice was like a mosquito at the end.He believed it, otherwise he wouldn't have been so sure that Xianggong would not agree to take Ye Rou as his concubine.
Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan had a clear smile in his eyes, but he still said seriously: "Don't think about those illusory things in the future!"
And asked him if he knew women well?Where did Ye Sheng think it was? Would he still not be able to guess?The events of his previous life were too far away, not to mention that he had almost forgotten them, and he didn't want to mention them again.
However, his little husband seems to be very curious about his past.

It seemed that he really wanted to understand, so he was relieved.Xiao Yesheng's emotions came and went quickly.
"Also." Lu Mingyuan said again, "Remember, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust."
"I remember." Ye Sheng smiled.
After speaking, he got up and walked to the kitchen.
The laundry was almost done, so Lu Mingyuan hung the clothes on the bamboo poles in the yard, poured out the water, and went into the kitchen.
Ye Sheng was still chopping vegetables on the chopping board, the kitchen knife was chopping loudly.If it wasn't for the fact that Ye Sheng had already thought about it, he would have suspected that his husband was venting his anger with vegetables.
However, no matter what Ye Sheng thought.He suddenly felt that it wasn't teasing, and it would be nice to have some serious affection once in a while.

"..." Ye Sheng paused for a moment and froze again.
……
According to his wishes, Fang Lan hastily started selling the new Ruqun.
Choose women of different ages and classes to try on for a show, from girls about ten years old to middle-aged women who are already mothers, from ordinary women in common clothes to luxurious rich ladies.
It seems that overnight, people passing and going on the street wear a different style of clothes. Such an abrupt appearance is not unacceptable. On the contrary, it should be worn like this, no matter who it is It's still brocade, such clothes are really unusual and beautiful to wear.

Just like the hot pot launched in his restaurant, although no one knew the recipe at the beginning, their family sold it very well, but after seeing this, other merchants immediately started to find ways to ask for the recipe.
Some people wanted to discuss the price with him and formally buy it, but he refused.Some of them started from the chef buddies in his shop. Fortunately, the people in the shop were all carefully selected by him and signed the relevant contracts. In the end, no one leaked the recipe.
But if one road fails, go the other way. If you can't get the formula from them, you will search for it yourself.About a month after he was selling hot pot, another restaurant also found chili peppers, and soon most restaurants learned to use chili peppers in stir-fry.
However, other people's imitations are still inferior to his family's in terms of taste.It took a while to find chili, and it took some work to find other spices.So although the number of customers has decreased, it has also stabilized, and the reputation and foundation have been laid.
The business changes of silk and satin villages are similar to those of restaurants. The difference is that the decline of restaurants is faster than before, because clothes can be made the same after buying a piece and looking at it. This research process is much simpler than looking for hot pot accessories. up.
At this time, Lu Mingyuan asked Fang Lan to introduce a new style that was modified from the current popular chest-length skirt.Didn’t the jacket also have narrow sleeves and wide sleeves, cross-collar and double-breasted, etc. If you put on a jacket, you can have another visual effect.
As a result, the number of customers in the shop increased, and within a few days, other shops continued to follow suit.He came and went like this, and the number of guests increased and decreased, but he still didn't care much about it.
What he wanted was not a momentary excitement, and he didn't expect to make a lot of money just by relying on a few new clothes, and he was far ahead in this industry.What he wants is that when everything is stable in the end, they still have business to do, so that they won't be squeezed by the old shops, and they won't be left behind.
Ancient times are not compared to modern times, and it is not a fast-paced era. When various factors add up, doing business has to be done step by step and progress little by little.
Just like in the restaurant before, Lu Ming is far from looking at the ancient and traditional single-entry bookkeeping.He taught Fang Lan how to make tables and how to write simple and understandable Arabic numerals.
As far as those few numbers were concerned, Fang Lan learned quickly, and at the same time expressed her admiration for her employer from the bottom of her heart.
Using this method to keep accounts is really simpler and clearer than the one she had painstakingly learned before. You can know the direction of the property and the change in income at a glance, and it is not easy for the people below to be greedy.
Putting what she learned into practice, Fang Lan quickly applied the numbers to other places in the store.For example, custom-made clothes for customers are packed when they come to pick them up, for the sake of beauty and convenience for customers to take away.
But how to distinguish which piece of clothing is whose, you have to mark it on the package, then record it in the book, and compare it when someone comes to pick up the item.
Fang Lan just changed this kind of logo from complicated Chinese characters to numbers that can be formed in one stroke.Everything was going on in an orderly manner, but occasionally, there was a little deviation.
That day, Ye Sheng went to his family's Jinxiu satin shop to pick up clothes.There are two pieces, one is his and the other is Lu Mingyuan's.Spring is here, and it's time for them to change their clothes.I heard from his husband-in-law that the style and color of these two clothes were chosen by him himself.
And although he was trying to make clothes for the two of them by himself, his time was limited and he was not proficient. It would take several days to make a piece of clothing, let alone the two of them.
When we arrived at the silk and satin village, there were quite a lot of people inside.Fang Lan was busy in front of the counter getting clothes for the people who came to pick up the clothes. When she saw Ye Sheng, she called enthusiastically, "Ma'am."
"...I'll get the clothes." Ye Sheng said.
"Okay." Fang Lan answered him with a smile while taking out a stack of packed clothes from the cabinet below.
There was a young girl beside her urging: "Can you hurry up? I'm here to pick up the young lady's clothes, and I'm going back within the stipulated time."
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you right away." Fang Lan rummaged through the stack of square packages she took out by number, and quickly found the clothes that the little girl wanted to take and handed them to her.
A man next to him said impatiently: "Didn't I come before her? Why did you get it for her first?"
Fang Lan spread out the clothes she brought out on the counter, glanced at them briefly, and gave him a dress wrapped in a square shape, and said with a smile: "Brother, I remember you and that girl came together of."
"Nonsense, obviously I was one step ahead of her!" the man said angrily.
Another young man sneered at him: "What is there to argue with a little girl?"
"What did you say? I obviously came here earlier than her!" The man was instantly furious after being told, "You dare to make irresponsible remarks to me, ah?" He looked at Fang Lan and shouted, "Tell him Clearly, the one that came first should be given to me first.”
"Stop arguing, aren't you here to get clothes?" Fang Lan immediately comforted her when she saw that her posture was wrong.If you want to quarrel, you can go out to quarrel, don't stay with her, there are still guests.
From time to time, customers would ask her how much this piece of cloth cost and how to sell that piece of cloth, and Fang Lan responded one by one.
An old woman smacked her lips again and muttered: "If you want to get clothes, don't waste time talking here."
People are always impatient with waiting.
Fang Lan was one head and two big, and usually there were not so many people, so why did they catch up at this time.Ye Sheng is still standing there next to him, is it really okay to keep him waiting?
Searching with the fastest speed, Fang Lan finally found the clothes of the three people present and gave them to each other. After they all left, she apologized to Ye Sheng: "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."
Ye Sheng felt that it didn't matter, so he just waited for a while, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's okay, I was late in the first place."
"Need to get...two pieces of clothes, right?" Fang Lan asked while looking for them, the original order was broken by a flurry of fuss just now.
"Yes, two pieces." Ye Sheng replied immediately.
"No. [-] and No. [-]..." she murmured to herself after comparing the brochures.
After getting the clothes, Ye Sheng looked at the two things wrapped in a square shape in his hand, and asked doubtfully, "Which one is his? Which one is mine?"
Fang Lan said with a smile, "The green ones belong to my wife, and the blue ones belong to my boss."
"Oh." Ye Sheng continued, "Is he here?"
It's obvious who this 'he' is, Fang Lan thought for a while and said, "No, it probably won't come..."
That is to go to the small restaurant on South Street or the restaurant on East Street.
After coming out of the shop, Ye Sheng strolled around the street again, bought some oil and salt that was almost out of home, and went back.
In the evening, after they finished their meal, Ye Sheng said casually, "I went to get those two clothes back today."
"You went out? Alone?"
"Well, the weather is fine today, and the street is quite lively." Ye Sheng was walking towards the bathroom, turned around and said to him, "The clothes are on the small table in the bedroom, and I haven't unpacked them yet."
Lu Mingyuan walked towards the inner bed without paying much attention. The things on the table were packaged in their shop.
He opened one of them in twos and twos, and inside was a light blue dress, which was the one he ordered for Ye Sheng.After taking it out and looking at it carefully, he slightly hooked his lips, which was not bad.
After he casually opened another box, he froze.
Inside is a translucent white gauze.
He took it out from the inside and looked at it. It was all made of gauze from top to bottom. The front placket was wide open, and occasionally there were one or two pieces of pure white lining inside, but it was definitely something that should be hidden or exposed when worn. dew.
Judging by the style and figure, this is still a man's clothes, and there is a pair of white silk pants inside, similar to bloomers, which are tightened from the ankle, but are all cut from the side of the thigh down.
In all fairness, this dress is exquisitely designed and definitely very attractive to wear, especially the bright red silk belt in the middle, just this bright color abruptly changes the whole dress from its original plainness to its taste.
But, who the hell would wear these clothes? !
Lu Mingyuan wanted to laugh, if he took the wrong one, he would have taken it wrong, and he even brought back such a dress!
He casually glanced at the logo on the wrapping paper, a number that looked more like a nine than a six, did Fang Lan read it backwards, or did he not learn how to write numbers?I just brought him the clothes of the young lady in the building.
After Ye Sheng came out wearing a white cotton undershirt after taking a shower, Lu Mingyuan looked at him, and suddenly thought of something and said with a half-smile: "Ye Sheng, did you buy this dress?"
Ye Sheng didn't care about the difference between the word 'buy' and the word 'take' in his mouth, and replied casually: "Well, what's wrong?"
So he took out the whole dress from the box again and showed it to Ye Sheng.
For a moment, Ye Sheng was stunned, unable to speak.
After a while, he said, "Where did you get it from?"
He wondered: "Didn't you buy it? You just admitted it!"
"I... I didn't buy it, I just went to get it." Ye Sheng stammered as he looked at the remaining wrapping paper.
How can there be such clothes?
Lu Mingyuan smiled, and said to himself: "I just bought it, I didn't know that Xiao Yesheng still liked this tune... Well, it tastes good."
"I didn't!" Ye Sheng retorted anxiously, "How could I..."
"Do you think it's for day or night?" Lu Mingyuan smiled deeper, "...Is it for wearing inside or outside?"
day or night?Inside or outside?
Ye Sheng blushed when he asked, "You...don't take that...put it down!"
Lu Mingyuan still held the dress indifferently, and asked again: "Ye Sheng, do you want to wear it for me or for you?"
This question instantly made Ye Sheng's face redder, what to wear for me or for him?
Can this kind of clothes be worn?
Whether it's him or Lu Mingyuan, if he wants to wear such clothes, he doesn't even dare to think about it!
Ye Sheng collected himself, looked up and saw the playfulness in his husband's smile, walked over quickly angrily, and tried to grab it, "Throw it away!"
"Ye Sheng's clothes are over there, so the rest is for me?" He easily dodged Ye Sheng's hand to snatch the clothes, and said again: "So Ye Sheng wanted to see..."
"Throw it away!"
"Actually, we can discuss it." He raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and replied calmly.
"give me!"
"You want to wear it? That's fine!"
"..."
After fighting for a while, Ye Sheng finally snatched the clothes from his husband-in-law, and then walked out the door.
Lu Mingyuan withdrew his smile, followed him, and said sternly behind him: "Don't really throw it away, you have to change it tomorrow."
