Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Chapter 140: The Queen of Tailoring, Something Happens to the Jia Family

After all, humans are creatures that love beauty, and women are no exception.

Looking at Qin Huairu's finely crafted, gorgeously embroidered female knight suit, Jiang Yingying's eyes were full of envy. She hugged Li Weijun's arm and began to act coquettishly and beg.

"Wei Jun, I want it too. I have never worn such smooth silk clothes since I was a child. Can you please fulfill my little wish?"

The delicate voice and the charming look between her brows make her look like a clingy little goblin.

Li Weijun thought that he should not favor one over the other. It was really not easy for Jiang Yingying to accompany him and serve him diligently these days, running around for him.

He nodded, and fortunately asked the tailor to measure Jiang Yingying's waist and height. After getting the detailed data, he asked Jiang Yingying to wait for a while.

He pretended to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a piece of cloth, but in fact he took out the remaining silk from the last purchase from the space.

Although these things are expensive and scarce, he doesn't feel sorry for using them on his own woman.

After providing the raw materials, Li Weijun glanced at Jiang Yingying, who was tall, plump, beautiful and cool.

This martial arts suit and the long whip don't seem to suit Jiang Yingying at all.

I really think that uniforms should be tailored to each person, fitting their temperament and appearance, and also having a perfect attack speed effect.

We can't do things in a monotonous way, as that will be counterproductive.

Just like Qin Huairu's tailor-made exotic heroine suit, with a purple tulle face scarf covering her face, Qin Huairu's beauty has a touch of mystery and haziness.

Coupled with the Eight-Section Brocade that she had been teaching for so long, the stunning aura of a chivalrous woman came to the fore.

But it would be a shame if Jiang Yingying didn't wear a cheongsam with such well-proportioned and slender legs.

So Li Weijun’s request to the tailor was simple: the higher the slit, the better.

He even used a pencil to carefully outline his requirements on paper.

The cheongsam designed by Li Weijun is completely depicted with modern vision and aesthetics, although Li Weijun had no professional exposure to fashion design in his previous life.

But even if you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig run?

With so much learning material at my fingertips, designing a few well-fitting cheongsams is a piece of cake for me.

"Comrade, are you sure you want it to be so high? And why is there a gap in the front of the cheongsam? Won't it be cold and draughty? I have been a tailor for decades, serving many rich ladies and dignitaries, but I have never heard of such a request."

This strange and special request made the tailor feel shocked.

"That's right, just follow what I drew on the blueprint. Leave gaps in the front and back so that it can ventilate and dissipate heat. Don't worry about the labor cost. If you can make it to my satisfaction, I'll reward you handsomely!"

"That's fine. Just don't regret it halfway. Come back in half a month to pick it up."

The female tailor wiped her reading glasses, and after confirming again and again that Li Weijun was not wrong, she could only look at Li Weijun with a strange look and said nothing more.

The cheongsam is something that requires no deviation from its essence. Although the new cheongsam designed by Li Weijun has slight differences in color and details, it still generally stays within the same scope.

"No, wait a moment, I'll think about it and see if there are any other tricks."

But Li Weijun still felt unsatisfied. After thinking for a moment, he drew some uniforms of various colors on the drawing that have become popular in later generations.

Sailor uniform, Jk skirt, maid uniform, and even stewardess uniform.

In short, Li Weijun racked his brains and came up with all the suits he could think of.

It is more than enough for Qin Huairu to wear it all year round, 365 days a year.

After finishing all this, Li Weijun breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Master, just do it in this order first. As for the fabric, I will make another trip to deliver it tomorrow. As for the labor fee, I will pay for each set I make. No credit is allowed."

"Ah, so many? Comrade, those on the legs are glass stockings, right? This is a tailor shop, where can I get some glass stockings or something..."

The tailor looked at the various strange clothes in surprise and couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry about that. I have glass stockings here. If you need any materials, just tell me. I'll come here every once in a while. Thank you for your trouble."

After saying this, Li Weijun took Qin Huairu's special female warrior suit and went back to the courtyard with Jiang Yingying.

Only the female tailor was left standing there in a daze, looking at the various shapes and colors of clothes on the draft paper. For the first time, she felt how limited her vision was.

She was known as the best scissor expert in the capital, and relied on the reputation of the old brand. She even customized cheongsam ceremonial dresses for Empress Wanrong. But when she saw Li Weijun's requirements and samples, she suddenly felt a little tricky.

"This guy is really a weirdo. He made good clothes tattered, with holes and holes all over them. He really ruined the clothes."

He squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time.

The old lady shook her head, put the draft paper away, and began to think about how to sew.

The reason why her tailor shop has been able to survive, besides her exquisite skills, is more because she knows how to handle situations and circumstances.

Having run a tailor shop in the capital for decades, she is knowledgeable and has met all kinds of people.

Ask less and do more. As long as the customer is willing to pay, don't eat for free.

She had no objection even if good cloth was made into beggar's clothes.

Little did she know that it was this inconspicuous drawing that would become the winning magic weapon that the old lady was proud of several years later.

It was with these weird-looking suits that she was able to start from scratch again after falling to the bottom and become the undisputed queen of tailoring.

However, these are all later stories. At this time, Li Weijun and Jiang Yingying were back in the courtyard cooking.

Originally, Li Weijun wanted to put the things he bought in the house and then take Jiang Yingying to a restaurant for a meal.

In the afternoon, we went to Beihai Park for boating to conserve our energy.

As a result, the girl was reluctant to spend money, so she decided to use the coal stove to cook a few dishes and just make do with a few bites.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I ran into the second uncle Liu Haizhong who was rushing out.

"Hey, Weijun, I was just about to call your second aunt to join the banquet. It just so happens that this is the Jia family's buffet. Yan Bugui is keeping accounts in the middle courtyard. There is plenty of pork stewed with vermicelli today. I see there will also be fried pork intestines."

"The Jia family's buffet? So soon..."

Li Weijun looked at the bustling courtyard with people coming and going, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Although Sha Zhu had already lit the stove in the morning, Li Weijun thought that he was taking advantage of the holiday when there were many people around, so he prepared it in advance.

Who would have thought? The feast would start so soon!

If I remember correctly, according to the rules, Jia Dongxu has to stay at home for at least two or three days.
