Chapter 407 Daily life
Before falling asleep, Chen Dongyue suddenly remembered who Mother Han was.
She had been thinking about Liuli so much these past two days that she almost forgot Teacher Xiaoyou's instructions.
So early the next morning, Chen Dongyue went to Mrs. You and asked where Mother Han had gone.
Yes, this sister is so busy that even Aunt Han has no time to arrange her.
Fortunately, Madam You said that the person was placed in the flower garden yard, and he had followed her to the embroidery workshop yesterday.
Madam You also said: "What Aunt Han means is that even if a first-class lady wants to customize a large dress, we can't do it.
Because the required materials and decorative beads are not sold by the private sector at all.
However, we cannot make large formal dresses, but Madam Yipin and the ladies in the palace can still help with fashionable clothing styles. "
"Understood," Chen Dongyue nodded, "In this case, we don't have to force others to make things difficult. In fact, my purpose is very simple, that is, how gorgeous and grand the clothes are, we will adjust them accordingly."
"Then the cost is not low," Mrs. You rubbed her hands twice and said, "The key is that you want us to produce so many sets of clothes in twenty days. It is really difficult to do it."
"Recruit some embroiderers. Let's work with twenty or thirty embroiderers and see if it works. You can also go outside to buy some. If it doesn't work, ask Aunt Han to take you to the capital to have a look. If there are good clothes, you can Just collected it.
As for the budget... you go to Ayun's place and pay five thousand taels first. If you don't have enough, you can ask Ayun for it later. "
Chen Dongyue also worked hard for Teacher You’s Hanfu debut.
"Master, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should ask or not." Madam You heard the budget of five thousand taels, and her heart was pounding.
After all, the embroidery made by the embroidery shop on weekdays, even the jackets and skirts ordered by customers, do not cost more than ten taels of silver.
This time it will cost a full five thousand taels. Madam You is lying if she says she is not panicked.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dongyue still smiled and said: "If you shouldn't ask, you don't need to ask. Anyway, remember, what our customers want is to make people shine."
"Well, that's okay." Madam You agreed a little reluctantly.
But when it came time to buy fabrics and cut patterns, I was still very motivated.
Even Aunt Han praised her for her neatness, which even Shang Gong of the Shangfu Bureau could do.
Because she really liked Lady You, Aunt Han taught Lady You all her housekeeping skills.
Madam You, who is used to teaching, can naturally learn it with just one click.
In just a few days, her embroidery skills have improved a lot.
Thinking that it would be a rare opportunity to have a nun in the palace to teach her, Madam You also encouraged Chen Dongyue to come and learn with her.
Chen Dongyue felt uncomfortable refusing Madam You's warm invitation in front of Grandma Han, so she pretended to learn a little bit about it.
"My boss, this cloth bag is quite well sewn. It looks like it can hold a bucket of rice!"
Madam You, you took Chen Dongyue’s first finished product and praised it sincerely.
"It's really good," Mother Han said bravely, trying her best to find the advantages of Chen Dongyue's work. "Although the stitching is a bit sparse, fortunately~~~Fortunately~~~~this cloth bag is big enough."
"Ah," Chen Dongyue held the cloth bag she had sewn in her hands a little embarrassedly, not daring to speak loudly, "Here, this is a sock..."
"Ouch~~~~"
"Oh~~~~"
Aunt Han and Madam You did not dare to say any more words.
But in the end, Chen Dongyue didn't keep these socks for herself.
She is the person who knows how to repay kindness.
Thinking that Song Ke had sent her so much silver after all, she specially asked Feng Bei to go to the north and gave Song Ke some summer clothes, dried vegetables, eggplants, dried radishes and other things.
Here, there are two pairs of socks and a mandarin jacket sewn by the ingenious Chen Dongyue for Song Ke.
Although the mandarin jacket, in Jun Lan's words, is just a hole dug in the bottom of the sack.
but! !! !!
Etiquette and friendship are important, and Chen Dongyue hopes that Song Ke can understand this truth.
.......
Because Ai Min ordered a large quantity this time, he had to wait for Liulichang to start production in Liaocheng.
Fortunately, Liulichang had hired four workers before, and now they are working overtime. It will take about half a month before this batch of goods is almost ready.
After all, Ai Min has business to do, but he can't leave behind orders made by others.
Ai Min, who was idle and bored, had a great time wandering around Liaocheng, entertaining cats and dogs, under the surveillance or companionship of Ji Chongning.
After hearing that Chen Dongyue had opened an academy, Ai Min's little assistant showed a very strong interest in it.
So, Ji Chongning prepared to take these two people to see what the academy of the Great Rong Dynasty was like.
"Just wait a moment." Seeing that Ji Chongning was going to visit the academy alone with two foreign tourists, Chen Dongyue kindly reminded him, "The road to Qingshan Academy is difficult to find. Wait until Kong Jie comes back and ask him to take you there." .”
"No," Ji Chongning refused: "What should I say? I also lived in Liaocheng for a while. Isn't it just a small riverside alley? I can't find it?"
You go about your business and go home early for dinner. When I went out in the morning, I asked Hu Zhuangtou to catch the old turtle and kill the chicken. Later, I asked the cook to cook a farewell to my concubine. "
"...You really don't regard yourself as an outsider! Do you kill turtles and chickens if I agree?" Chen Dongyue asked while biting her molar teeth.
Ji Chongning fanned himself and said calmly: "I paid!"
"Oh~ That's okay," Chen Dongyue nodded. As long as the money is paid, everything is easy!
But it was hot now, and she couldn't bear to see Ji Chongning wandering around in front of her eyes, so she waved her hand to him, "Go ahead, don't keep wandering around in front of my eyes."
This terrible thing, the more I see him, the hotter I feel.
Ci'an Hall was fed a wave of old mung beans from the granary by Lord Sun a few days ago. Chen Dongyue planned to finish writing the official documents, read the attendance check, and sign the rewards to be distributed, and then go to Ci'an Hall to have a bowl of mung bean soup.
By the way, let’s take a look at how Ci’antang is doing in its heatstroke prevention and cooling work.
So she sped up her hands.
"How come there are so many people with perfect attendance?!?! I am the only one who co-writes the entire inspection department and is not perfect with attendance?"
Just as Chen Dongyue was muttering, Gao Shuwan came back with someone.
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Chen Dongyue asked her to go to Ci'an Hall to drink mung bean soup with him.
However, Gao Shuwan declined, "I can't eat cold food recently."
"Oh~~~~" Chen Dongyue understood instantly, "If you come to Kuishui, I have a menstrual belt to prevent side leakage. Do you want it? I'll give you two new ones."
The so-called menstrual belt that prevents side leakage was actually obtained by Xiaoyou for Chen Dongyue. It is said to be an environmentally friendly and recyclable cotton sanitary napkin.
Anyway, when the quantity is large, this thing is a bit unbearable, but for normal quantities, as long as you change it frequently, you'll be fine.
But Chen Dongyue doesn't need this anymore.
Because she and Teacher Xiaoyou discovered that unpacked tampons can be used here!
As long as you keep the tampons with the cotton cloth of the sterilizer, there will be no problem in using them.
However, thinking that women nowadays may not be able to accept the use of tampons, Chen Dongyue gave the people around her eco-friendly cotton sanitary napkins.
But Gao Shuwan shook her head and said, "No, I'm pregnant."
what?
So fast?
This really surprised Chen Dongyue.
She quickly stood up and gave up her seat to Gao Shuwan, "Sister Gao, you told me earlier! Ask Kong Jie to stop arranging shifts for you starting tomorrow. You can help me handle official documents and other things."
"No," Gao Shuwan refused directly, "I have been traveling all over the country for so many years, and I can't live a leisurely life.
You asked me to handle official documents, and I have to learn to read now. Please let me go.
I'm just pregnant now, and I don't have any reactions or feel tired.
I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that if I told you, you wouldn't let me go out to patrol the streets again.
To be honest, compared to our previous practice, patrolling the streets is not even an appetizer, so don’t worry about it. "
Let her help with official documents? !
Don't be ridiculous! !
Previously, his father was sent to Qingshan Academy to receive cultural influence.
But after only three days of training, the old man couldn't survive.
He said it was really humiliating to have his husband slap his palms in front of the little baby.
They were all wronged by him.
Gao Shuwan did not agree with her father to drop out of school at the moment.
Zhang Cheng did some ideological work for her in the evening, saying that she really couldn't force her father-in-law to study.
Otherwise, Mr. Lu will be beaten by his father-in-law sooner or later.
Judging from the fact that ten teaching sticks were broken in the academy during the three days when his father-in-law was there, Zhang Cheng said that his father-in-law's grievance may be based on the pain of the gentlemen.
In order to avoid personal injury, Gao Shuwan could only agree that his father would no longer study.
Instead, she sent Uncle Rong, the only literate person in their escort agency, to further his studies.
But even Uncle Rong, who wants to be strong, now has to memorize books until midnight every day when he comes home.
Thinking of this, Gao Shuwan felt a chill in her body and couldn't help but shudder.
When Chen Dongyue saw that Gao Shuwan was still shivering on such a hot day, she hurriedly asked Dr. Yao to come.
"Don't be nervous, it's just that you're having a baby." Gao Shuwan still spoke so calmly.
Listening to this sister's tone, those who didn't know would have thought that she had given birth to ten or eight babies.
In fact, this is Gao Shuwan’s first child!
Chen Dongyue has to admire this psychological quality.
But what Gao Shuwan said is that women these days must have a smooth life when giving birth.
Although Chen Dongyue has never given birth to a child in her two lives, she also knows that proper exercise and weight maintenance are conducive to a smooth delivery.
Therefore, Chen Dongyue did not refuse Gao Shuwan's request to continue patrolling.
She just told Gao Shuwan to tell her if she felt uncomfortable immediately and not to hold on.
Gao Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief and responded.
