Lin Youde couldn't believe that Josephine looked so unconventional after putting on traditional Chinese clothes.
Not only did he think of the assertion that often appeared in all kinds of literary youth jokes and young fresh jokes: there are two kinds of beautiful women, anyway, it is the kind of assertion that seems reasonable but actually says nothing.
Before seeing Josephine's current appearance, Lin Youde had always thought that traditional oriental costumes had no requirements on women's body shape, and the focus was on the face and hair. But now it seems that he was very wrong. Qu Ju will indeed be able to do it to a certain extent.
Josephine's small waist was hidden, but her proud breasts were not affected. In addition, the old woman who was responsible for instructing the maids to dress and makeup Josephine made some adjustments to Josephine's figure.
, the girl's graceful curves were vaguely revealed.
This curve is not as obvious as when she wears a dress, but she is holding a pipa to half-cover her face, but it makes people even more imaginative.
In order to match Josephine's skin color, which is paler than that of ordinary Chinese people, and her long golden hair, Lin Youde's tailor chose a sky blue-based dress with a pure white skirt underneath.
and light yellow middle coat, and the belt uses a pattern of baby's breath on a white background. In this way, the collar and cuffs present a triple garment effect of platinum, gold and blue. The two colors of white and gold echo Josephine's hair color and skin color, and the final transition
to sky blue, and the belt is dotted in a sea of blue. The golden starry pattern and white background also correspond to the triple clothing effect at the opening of the clothing.
This dress itself can fully highlight Josephine's beauty, but when dressing, the maids followed the old woman's instructions and deliberately made the skirt tighter than usual to make the dress fit more closely to Josephine's figure, and at the same time,
She also folded part of the belt inward and tied it above Josephine's lower abdomen, which had a breast-supporting effect similar to a corset.
After Lin Youde saw the final effect, he had to admit that decisiveness becomes more difficult when one is old, and the technique was extraordinary, it was too perfect.
Josephine herself was so stunned looking at the mirror that she didn't even notice that Lin Youde entered the dressing room.
When Lin Youde came in, the old lady was playing with Josephine's beautiful hair, and seemed to be thinking about what hairstyle to give her.
"Just let me do this." Lin Youde said, so the old lady bowed to Lin Youde and left.
Josephine looked at Lin Youde. She couldn't understand Chinese, so she didn't know what Lin Youde was going to do. It wasn't until Lin Youde picked up the comb that she asked in English: "Can you do it?"
"Just wait and see."
Lin Youde used to be a top model artist in the country during time travel, and his hands-on skills are not to mention. In fact, he often helped the girls who cosplayed with makeup at comic exhibitions.
Soon, Lin Youde decorated Josephine's head. Instead of adopting the classical Chinese women's hairstyle, he gave Josephine a ponytail and made her a simple hair accessory with a ribbon.
.
"It's not bad." Josephine said with a smile. The girl stood up carefully and stood in front of the full-length mirror next to the dressing table. The girl stared at herself in the mirror. After being silent for a while, she said with sincerity and sincerity.
He said: "I never dreamed that I would be so suitable for wearing Chinese clothes."
"Me too." Lin Youde agreed.
"Moreover, this outfit... is very..." The girl paused, as if thinking about what words to use to describe it, "It's amazing. The design of Chinese clothes should be able to be worn by people with very different body shapes without any problems.
Wearing the same set of clothes without any problem?”
"No, the impact of height is quite obvious. What's more, if you adjust it too much, it will affect the beauty of the clothes themselves. For example, people who are too thin are not suitable for wearing wider skirts, because there will be too much left in the skirt.
."
Since Lin Youde didn't know how to translate "dress" in English, he just transliterated it, so Josephine showed a look of confusion. By the way, Lin Youde directly used "dress" in English and added the prefix "destroy you to death".
A word came out, but this time it seemed to be immediately recognized by the French girl.
"Ring?" Josephine looked curious.
Lin Youde reached out and grabbed her shoulders to turn her sideways, and then pointed out to her in the mirror the swallowtail-shaped corners exposed under the hem of the skirt.
"I like this design." Josephine smiled happily, "I guess this is the extra part when the maids rolled me up with this 'curved train'. The idea of turning this part into decoration is really good.
Great. Well, that’s it. So if a thin person wears a large-sized skirt, the ‘tail’ will become longer, which will affect the appearance. I understand.”….
"However, in general, Chinese classical clothing is indeed much better than your Westerners' traditional clothing in terms of adaptability to people."
"Yes, I have always thought that corsets and corsets are anti-human inventions." Josephine said while using her slender fingers to play with the smooth fabric of the train.
"Miss Xiafei, why are you so slender that you still get headaches?" Lin Youde was a little surprised. His understanding of the "anti-human characteristics" of corsets was limited to those movies of later generations, such as "Titanic" and "Princess Sissi"
"Ah, "Pirates of the Caribbean", so he always thought that that thing was just unfriendly to actresses with more fat. He didn't expect that girls like Josephine, who have fully exercised their bodies and had a tight and elastic waist, would also
Complaining again and again.
Josephine sighed and her shoulders drooped: "It's true that my waist is small. It's precisely because of my small waist that I feel uncomfortable. Those tailors stubbornly believe that only the proportion of waist and chest is beautiful, so they always
I put so much thought into it that I wanted to cut off part of the flesh on my chest."
As if to get rid of some bad memory, the girl shook her head and continued: "There are also bustles. Every time I wear a formal dress, I will secretly hide a force amplifier on my butt, and then use
The ability to make the bustle float so it's less strenuous to move around. I don't understand what these weird things have to do with beauty, so this outfit is awesome, both beautiful and comfortable to wear. Even though it's
It’s a lot more troublesome than wearing a dress.”
It seemed that Josephine really liked the outfit Lin Youde brought out.
"How about I give it to you?" Lin Youde certainly would not miss this opportunity to do a favor.
Josephine was silent, tilted her head and worried seriously for a while before saying, "Forget it, I don't have a servant at home who knows how to handle these clothes."
Lin Youde shrugged and joked casually: "Then why don't you marry me and that's it?"
Josephine smiled: "The effect of the same joke twice in a short period of time will be compromised, Mr. Chinese Gentleman."
"I'm not joking, I'm giving you this advice very seriously."
"Then I will answer you again very seriously. The French government will not allow me to marry you. No matter what, I am one of the top goddesses in Europe."
Lin Youde blinked and asked with an exaggerated expression on purpose: "I...I always thought that the Eight Virtues of Knights included humility. Did I remember it wrong?"
"Humility does not mean belittling oneself..." After saying this, Josephine paused, finally sighed, and showed a self-deprecating smile, "Okay, I just violated the eight virtues of chivalry, please forget what I said. This
It must be because this outfit makes people feel a different kind of comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, that must be it.”
Josephine "complained" in a joking tone.
"This is the difference in cultural atmosphere."
As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Josephine turned back, with a strong desire for knowledge on her face, but the slightly upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her.
"Really? What kind of difference is this?"
Lin Youde was dazzled by this subtle perspective. He ignored the ridicule in Josephine's words and began to talk nonsense: "You see, Chinese culture emphasizes tolerance. As early as thousands of years ago, our elders
The Book of Changes written by our ancestors tried to unify everything in the world into Tai Chi and Bagua. They tried to use this simple pattern to explain everything. So the same is true for our traditional clothing. There is no need for detailed sizes, just a rough look.
If you are tall, short, fat or thin, you can choose the right clothes. The same set of clothes can be compatible with people with very different body shapes. In addition, our culture emphasizes the unity of nature and man, and the coexistence of man and nature, so our clothes are all suitable for wearing
The natural posture of the body should be maintained without forcibly changing it."
Lin Youde was not a great scholar to begin with, he just read a few nonsense books. In addition, the English he spoke at this time, many translations were messed up. The unity of heaven and man was simply called sky_man_in_one, so these words have a lot of meaning.
It is understandable that it is not trustworthy.
Josephine obviously regarded this as a joke, especially when Lin Youde said "Heaven and man are one", she actually giggled out loud. You know, in Lin Youde's memory, when Josephine laughed
Even if there is a sound, it is always very soft. This is the first time that I laugh so loudly and freely.
"Lin," after finally stopping her laughter, Josephine patted Lin Youde on the shoulder and said, "Now that I think about it, I am always happy when I am with you. The strange thing is that every time we are apart, I don't
I feel sad for the passing of happy times, but instead keep my fighting spirit high thinking that I might be an enemy next time we meet.”
"As a result, I was very happy when we met next time."
Josephine didn't answer, just smiled, which was regarded as acquiescence.
After a moment, the girl spoke again: "I sincerely hope that the day when we two will meet each other in battle will not come."
"I think this is quite difficult." Lin Youde was already familiar with this girl's temper, so he told the truth.
But Lin Youde immediately regretted it.
Because the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and depressing.
As long as France still occupies Indochina, and as long as France still wants to gain interests in mainland China, the Nanyang Army and the French Army will have to fight, sooner or later.
Both men knew this very well.
The silence made Lin Youde feel uncomfortable, so he yelled: "Oh, Romeo, why are you Romeo!"
"That, should be the heroine's line?"
"Really? But in China, only girls' names have the word 'mi' in them."
Lin Youde decisively pretended to be stupid.
Thanks to this blessing, the atmosphere in the dressing room finally recovered.
