Chapter 2472 The new life of female naturalized people ([-])

Many years later, He Xiaoyue is still unforgettable for a long time, the moment she stood on the display stand wearing the clothes she designed.

She doesn't quite remember what the two elders asked, but she only remembers that the window was half open, and there was a breeze blowing up her skirt, the gauze hanging down fluttered, and the coolness on her skin made her nervous, but it was a disguised form. It seems that if you take this step, there will be no obstacles you can't pass.

"What was the inspiration for your suit?"

She tried her best to maintain a smile, imitating the "manners" Guo Xier taught her, trying to make herself look taller.

"I once read the seven-character law of Bai Yuchan, a talented scholar in the Song Dynasty, in which "light rain brings smoke and weaves snow, and cold wind blows water and moon sifts plum blossoms." "One sentence inspired me. The shape of the clothes refers to the old system of the Tang Dynasty..."

Sun Ying nodded in satisfaction. This girl is fine. There are many women who have read books these days, and not many can apply what they have learned and show it. It is really worthwhile for her to make a special trip.Just about to express his affirmation, Fang Fei on the side suddenly said: "The clothes are really good, but I can't figure it out. The design department has received a lot of submissions from naturalized people, and this is the first time I have seen skirts." So short."

Sun Ying glanced at Fang Fei in dissatisfaction, and then turned her attention to He Xiaoyue. In fact, she herself was also puzzled. She knew that this woman had just been rescued from Guangzhou for less than a year, and she was born as a young lady. It's more conservative.

He Xiaoyue said: "I designed the skirt like this only from an aesthetic point of view. The skirt above the knee looks long and good-looking. Moreover, from the design point of view, this dress is not suitable for making a mid-size dress."

"Then don't you think it's too... bold?" Fang Fei was overjoyed, he really was a good seed.

Seeing sweat on He Xiaoyue's forehead, she took a deep breath: "In the past, I would rather die than wear such clothes, and even feel ashamed to look at them, but now it's different."

"I was originally a concubine at home, and I only hoped to marry a good man for life. I never thought that my husband would die before I got married. My husband's family sent me to Qingjieyuan to be a widow for the sake of 'family reputation'. My natal family ignored me , I haven’t even visited once, I’m no different than a dead person.”

"Later, I had the good fortune to leave the Qingjieyuan, and I was blinded by lard, and I didn't know anyone, so I was trafficked and sold into the Fangchunyuan." Speaking of this, He Xiaoyue deliberately kept a careful eye and didn't mention Liu San. I really experienced the suffering of being a woman in the Ming Dynasty, I don’t know how much I have endured, if it weren’t for the Senate, I would already be a prostitute!”

"People in the Ming Dynasty often say that Australians are promiscuous, rebellious and rude, and women wear short skirts and short clothes when they show their heads outside, but the women here are much more chic than those in Daming! Even if they are penniless, they can support themselves. You don't have to sell yourself like a cow or sheep, what does it matter if your skirt is a few inches shorter?"

The clothing designed by He Xiaoyue finally passed the final review and went into production.Of course, the output of short models is much less than that of long models—no matter how advanced the concept is, there must be a problem of market acceptance.And she herself got her wish and became the designer of Wanzi Pavilion.

On the day when she received the official notice, He Xiaoyue bought herself a beautiful "fashion"—after becoming a designer, she no longer had to wear work clothes.She wears whatever she likes.

After packing up personal belongings on the second floor and coming to the third floor, I was filled with joy when I saw the design desk assigned to her—even the design desk was bigger than downstairs, and there was a separate turning desk for her. to do text work.

She decorated her workstation carefully, and in order to celebrate her promotion, Guo Xi'er specially gave her a Ru Kiln beauty spandrel vase as a vase--this is a trophy purchased by Liu Xiang.There is also a bouquet of flowers in the vase.

"This is a congratulatory gift."

"Sister, you are too polite!" He Xiaoyue said gratefully, "I am today thanks to my sister's support."

"What are you talking about? It's not because of your ability!" Guo Xi'er said, "My sister said that you are a talented person, and you will definitely be able to help me in the future. She wants me to get along well with you."

"Yes, yes, I can't wait to ask for it." He Xiaoyue thought to herself, no wonder people said that this designer Guo was outspoken and even said such private things.

"Let's get to work. This is a new project..."

The fashion designer of Wanzi Pavilion is a rare white-collar occupation in Hainan, a large industrial machinery that rumbles.Today's He Xiaoyue no longer has to wake up at 05:30 every day to wash and catch the commuter train, work non-stop for ten hours, and then return to the dormitory exhausted.

The designer's working hours are from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. Although the working hours have only been shortened by one hour, the disposable time has increased significantly.

She wakes up at six o'clock in the morning to wash up, cook breakfast for herself, and then slowly go back to her room to dress up and choose the clothes she will wear today. 07:30 Go out and walk for 10 minutes to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.Her treatment is the same as that of an "executive" of a state-owned enterprise in Dongmen City, and she can live in a single room of eight square meters in the dormitory area, which is a very luxurious thing in Lingao, especially in Dongmen City, where land is very expensive.

Before eight o'clock, He Xiaoyue would use the time before going to work to learn professional knowledge by herself. When Guo Xi'er hurried over from the veteran's dormitory area by car, she would immediately greet her, chat with her, and "consult" many questions.Let Guo Xier fully feel her "respect".

He Xiaoyue is the daughter of a concubine, and she was a smart girl who was squeezed out when she was a child in a wealthy family.Knowing that Guo Xi'er is her biggest backer, and sparing no effort to flatter her well, she can stay here for a long time and comfortably.

Of course, she still has practical uses for Guo Xier.The designers of Wanzi Pavilion not only design clothing, but are also "key account managers" in essence.Because each high-end set must be fully communicated with the customer before production to understand the other party's preferences and taboos.It is a test of people's communication skills.Guo Xi'er is quite lacking in this aspect. Although she is a familiar character, her background in a small family makes it difficult for her to understand the needs of big families, so she serves more of the family members of veterans and senior naturalized officials.The local indigenous big family customers rarely care about it.

After He Xiaoyue came, it was like helping her.All of a sudden, she felt that it was very difficult to "get it done" with the big aboriginal family.

"Xiaoyue, the guest on the 36th is here to pick up the ready-made clothes today, right?" Guo Xier fiddled with the high-end tailor-made clothes in the closet with a thin green bamboo. , to adjust the dry humidity and prevent clothes from being damaged by moisture.

"Yes, yes. The first guest is No. 36." He Xiaoyue opened the record book, and the guest's information was registered on it: "Name Zhou Suniang, female, 21 years old, non-naturalized settler, no occupation, home address is Green Rose Garden..." He Xiaoyue knew that this place was the most expensive residential area in the area.It is full of big families who moved from the mainland.The notes indicate that she is the concubine of the Qu family, and she is very favored now.

"It's Zhou Su Niang."

"It's the concubine of Master Qu's family."

"Yes."

"Favorites, I don't think she's happy at all." Guo Xi'er shook her head.

He Xiaoyue frowned when recalling the day Zhou Su Niang came to Wanzi Pavilion a few days ago.Usually, ladies and ladies come to Wanzi Pavilion to make clothes, that is, a sedan chair, with a few family members and maids, and after entering the shop, they wander around, laugh, sit down and have some refreshments, and gossip with the shop assistants and designers. For them, it is more of a rare outing.

Apart from several male servants and women, Zhou Suniang also had two servant girls who were always by her side. Except for tailoring the clothes and choosing materials to talk about some clothes, and telling the maids around her a few words from time to time, there was no unnecessary gossip. Never mention anything about yourself.

"Well, it seems that there is always something on my mind."

"And her family watched her so closely! Even when the body was measured, a maid was sent to watch."

"She is so beautiful, it's normal for the master to look closely..." Zhou Su Niang has a beautiful appearance, and a tear mole at the corner of her eye is very charming, and the beautiful He Xiaoyue deeply remembers it just by looking at it.

"Oh, you don't know that. Before you came to Wanzi Pavilion, Zhou Su Niang came to us to order clothes. The Zhou Su Niang at that time was completely different from now. She only brought a man and a woman with her when she went out. A servant. Although she didn't talk much at first, her expression was still very lively. Why did she become like this now..."

"Maybe there is something unhappy in the family. Even if you are favored, I heard that there are many wives and concubines in the Qu family, and I'm afraid it's not easy to get along with. Maybe someone said something bad about her in front of Master Qu, which made Master Qu suspicious..."

"That's right." Guo Xi'er nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly:
"Speaking of the Qu family, there was a joke a few days ago." Guo Xier's gossip soul began to burn.

"What joke?"

"His sister Lian ran away. In broad daylight, she took the opportunity to buy something and ran away."

"Sister Lian?" He Xiaoyue vaguely remembered seeing this name in the ledger.

"That's right. It's her. She is not favored in the Qu family, and it is rare for her to make a dress here." Guo Xi'er became more and more excited as she talked, "Let me tell you, this sister Lian didn't have a chance to go out. But the Qu family The eldest wife of the old lady looked down on the craftsmanship of the local tailor and insisted on her own maid and concubine to do it. Sister Lian is a good female celebrity, so the whole family's female family members have to make clothes. It was heard a few days ago that it was because of the elders of the Qu family. My wife is going to celebrate her birthday, and the eldest wife of the Qu family is going to make some new clothes, so she ran away from the shop on the pretext of seeing the materials! By the way, you must know this shop!"

"what?"

"It's Rui Hexiang."

Ruihexiang is one of the suppliers of Wanzi Pavilion, and they have a lot of contacts with each other.Shopkeeper An of Ruihexiang and the others not only know each other well, but are also very familiar with them.
