Chapter Thirteen One wave just flattened, another wave rose again
The characteristic of clothes in this era is that they are too baggy. One leg of the trousers can be tucked into both legs. Not to mention the waste of fabric, it is really ugly.
It's true that women's clothes are divided into tops and bottoms, but the length of the tops reaches to the knees, and there are two wide trouser legs underneath. This outfit looks like a barrel. How can there be any beauty in ancient costumes?
Chen Yu took advantage of the opportunity to diagnose her pulse and asked Cui Liangxiu seemingly unintentionally: "Liangxiu, do these underwear have a lot of material?"
Cui Liangxiu glanced at Chen Yu: "Are you asking about the material for the lining?"
Chen Yu: "...!!" Is the lining the underwear? Shouldn't it be worn inside the coat and outside the underwear?
But he showed timidity after saying this, so he definitely couldn't just say it, so Chen Yu gave a hum.
Cui Liangxiu smiled and nodded: "More, my second sister-in-law just said that there are two pieces of fine cotton for the lining, so I can make a few more changes for my mother."
"Children should do more." Chen Yu let go of Cui Liangxiu's wrist and picked up the yellowed straw paper. This kind of straw paper is a bit like kraft paper. Although the surface of the paper is rough, it is very strong and looks good when used to make clothes.
suitable.
Cui Liangxiu shook his head: "Mom, the children are still young. Our families are all about the same age. I will make two outfits for Qianxiu and Shao Li. Their old clothes will be altered by Zhuyin. Fangfei will also make two outfits. Fangfei's old clothes will be made.
Just give it to Yu Nuan."
Chen Yu looked at Cui Liangxiu's expression. She was a gentle and gentle person, with a smile on her face and eyes when she spoke. She didn't make new clothes for other people's children at all. She was unwilling to have her own children. This kind of character is really not bad, but
That's not how things work.
Furthermore, Chen Yu deliberately wanted to find more ways to make money, and he would try them all before he knew which one. Practicing medicine could only be used to treat emergencies, and it could not be used as a living for the time being.
"The children should all have new clothes, especially Fang Fei and Yu Nuan. I will draw two clothes later and you can make them." Chen Yu said.
Cui Liangxiu agreed wholeheartedly. At this time, none of the daughters-in-law dared to go against Chen Yu. After all, they were not at ease. A person whose temperament suddenly changed. If he was unhappy and returned to the same way as before, the whole family would be in trouble.
Chen Yu dictated, and Su Sanlang wrote the prescription. These are the medicines Cui Liangxiu will take next. He took some thick pieces of straw paper from this room, and Chen Yu went back to the room to draw clothes.
The two cheap granddaughters are cute when they are cute, so they must be very beautiful when dressed up. Besides, there are many women in the family, so underwear is a must. They are clean and hygienic and will prevent them from getting sick. As for the sons and grandsons, don’t worry too much. Don’t worry too much about the trouser legs.
Just wide is enough.
Su Fu Niang really wanted to learn medicine. She was not very literate but she was still reading the herbal medicine book she took from Su Sanlang. She also had the herbs she had dug up in the past few days and kept mumbling in her mouth.
I accidentally looked up and saw Chen Yu drawing something, and immediately came over: "Mom, what are you drawing? Are you doing needlework?"
Chen Yu raised his eyelids: "Okay, you still know how to move the needle?"
"There's one hanging in De'an Drug Store, the little boy said it." Su Funiang lost her excitement when she saw the clothes drawn on the paper: "Mom, the third sister-in-law is the most decent at doing this. You draw this
That’s not okay.”
"Okay, let's go find Qianxiu and the others." After Chen Yu drove Su Funiang away, he sighed softly. It's not that bad. The imagination is pretty good, but he doesn't know how to design clothes, and the patterns he drew are all...
I couldn't see it, so I had no choice but to find the third daughter-in-law.
After Cui Liangxiu heard what Chen Yu said, he took a charcoal pen and pondered the outline. As expected, he drew it. After the drawing, Cui Liangxiu was confused and looked up at Chen Yu: "Mom, is this like this?"
"Yes!" Chen Yu thought for a while: "The size must be measured correctly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear. Moreover, the belt on the waist cannot be thin, otherwise it will cause pain and make people uncomfortable."
Cui Liangxiu was confused, but Chen Yu was serious about what she said, and she didn't dare to say it or not do it. As long as her mother-in-law was happy, this thing really didn't use much fabric.
Chen Yu was talking about the styles of skirts for the two little girls to Cui Liangxiu, when she heard some children chirping outside and came back.
Children are particularly forgetful, and they have long forgotten the regret of going to the county town and not seeing anything.
"Auntie, we need to send these flowers to grandma." Su Fangfei pulled Su Yunuan, and the two girls each held a bouquet of wild flowers in their hands. They said hello and went to Chen Yu's room.
Su Funiang shouted from behind: "Grandma is in the third uncle's room."
The two little girls responded and entered the west wing. Outside, Su Fu Niang urged Su Qian to wash his hands and face before preparing to eat.
"Grandma, this is for you." Su Fangfei and Su Yunuan ran over and brought the wild flowers to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu took it with a smile: "Look at our two little darlings, they are so good."
Cui Liangxiu: "...!!!" Doesn't the mother-in-law care about baby girls? The sound of the little baby made Cui Liangxiu break into a cold sweat.
Chen Yu looked at the colorful wild flowers and asked: "Which one do you two like? It will look good embroidered on clothes."
"I like pink, grandma." Su Fangfei said.
"What about you? Nuannuan." Chen Yu asked Su Yunuan.
Su Yunuan looked at it for a long time and pointed at the small goose-yellow flower: "This."
"Okay, grandma, remember, go and wash up." After Chen Yu waited for the two children to leave, he took the cloth next to him and made a bow-like shape, and asked Cui Liangxiu to make it, and also put a few streamers on it.
.
Cui Liangxiu became more and more afraid to speak. They were busy eating outside, and Chen Yu went out.
After dinner, Chen Yu called several sons to discuss repairing the house. Cui Liangxiu called Zheng Yuee over and mentioned Chen Yu's attitude towards Fang Fei and Yu Nuan. He couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Zheng Yue'e sighed: "Liangxiu, my mother may be mad at the eldest brother and his family, and the fourth child is too disappointing. We can take good care of her for a few days now. She will do whatever she says. Really
It is a blessing for our family to continue to do well like this."
Cui Liangxiu also understood this truth. Zheng Yue'e called Li Xiuying, and the three sisters-in-law began cutting clothing materials under Cui Liangxiu's guidance.
Outside, Su Sanlang called several children over and started to teach them. Su Funiang sat next to Chen Yu and watched Su Sanlang shaking his head as he taught the children to recite the Three-Character Sutra. She was worried that if she studied like this, she would have to live in a miserable life for ten years if she wanted to succeed.
.
Su Funiang became cruel. When the whole family was sleeping, she also held a book and lit the oil lamp while reading. In addition to the text, there were pictures in the book. Su Funiang had to memorize the diagrams of herbal medicines first, so that she could easily pick them.
medicine.
In the dead of night, a donkey cart came to the door of Su's house. Two people jumped out of the cart and threw a heavy mat at the door. The visitor left quietly again.
After the mat was thrown to the ground, a faint cry for help came out: Help.
When Su Funiang heard the movement, she raised her head and looked outside, and listened again, but there was no movement again...
