Chapter 32: Dressing Up: Mrs. Chu's painstaking efforts

Meng Jinhua made Chu clothes stitch by stitch in the simple room arranged by Mrs. Chu, forgetting the passage of time, and some of the good things in the past gradually emerged in his heart.

She remembered that when she was a child, she stood on tiptoe on her grandmother's sewing machine, wondering what kind of miracle would happen after each blow.

Recalling the first time grandma took her hand and slowly put it on the sewing machine, she taught her how to move her hands and how to step on the pedals below. She felt that making clothes was like playing the piano, an elegant art.

She remembered that her grandma took off the copper thimble that had followed her all her life and put it on her hand on the day she was admitted to the Fashion Institute, hoping that she could continue her dream and become an excellent fashion designer. designer.

She recalled the first time she stepped into the Huanyu Flying Star Building, she was full of high spirits, full of complacency, and full of expectations for her future life.

Even if she was framed, frustrated, and hit afterwards, she had to admit that she never regretted her original choice. She loves fashion design, and every time she sees the clothes she designed by herself wearing on others, the sense of happiness can offset all exhaustion and bitterness.

It is this pure love that has supported her to the present. If she was given another chance to choose, she would still choose to pick up sewing scissors.Because she is Meng Jinhua, this road only belongs to her, not to anyone else.

Before she knew it, tears gradually blurred her eyes, and she was wiping the corners of her eyes with her hands, when the door suddenly opened, and Mrs. Chu appeared at the door with Zhuyu alone.Jinhua hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, got up and saluted: "I have seen Madam."

Mrs. Chu looked at the work in her hand, then at her tear-stained face, frowned slightly and said, "Why, do you feel aggrieved by asking you to do Chufu here?"

"No," Jin Hua said, "it just touched something in my heart."

Zhuyu stepped forward to pick up the half-arm shirt that Jinhua was making, and presented it to Mrs. Chu.Mrs. Chu looked at it, and saw that the tailoring was smooth and the stitches were delicate. It was obvious that she had many years of tailoring skills, and she couldn't help nodding: "It can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into it, but you haven't dealt with me."

"Madam ordered, don't dare to neglect." Jin Hua said, "Madam came late at night, but came to listen to my advice?"

Mrs. Chu sat down before several cases, and said: "The words Fusu asked you to say are just some mysterious and mysterious principles. I don't understand, and I don't want to hear them."

"The lady..." Jin Hua became more and more puzzled.

Mrs. Chu pointed to the seat opposite, ordered Jinhua to sit down, stretched out her hand to slowly caress the half-armed shirt, and said: "Your Majesty and Fusu are thinking about the great affairs of the world and the great Qin's future foundation, while I She's just a harem girl who doesn't understand state affairs and can't think so deeply or so far."

"Ma'am?" Jin Hua sensed a hint of sadness from her expression and voice.

"I asked you to make Chu clothes, but I want you to experience for yourself how beautiful it is. The ancestors of the Chu people went all the way and created the Chu country. This clothes are the imprints left by their ancestors..."

"Ma'am, it's better to speak with caution," Zhuyu reminded Madam Chu carefully, and then said to Jinhua, "The clothes you made are called '碛(di)禂(dāo)', which is what Madam said The "blue wisp" is a unique costume in Chu. According to legend, when the first emperor (Qin Shihuang's father Ying Yiren) visited Mrs. Huayang, he wore such a Chu costume, which made Mrs. Huayang feel the pride of her hometown. Kind, and then called mother and child."

"So that's how it is..." Jin Hua sighed, "I didn't expect such a story behind this dress."

"I don't insist on helping Su wear Chu clothes for the coronation ceremony," Mrs. Chu said leisurely, "It's just because I'm afraid that he will forget that Chu clothes still exist in the world... He said that he will implement a brand-new clothing system. From now on, the world will never see the brilliance of Chu Fu again."

It's a pity that Jinhua doesn't understand ancient costumes like Gao Shiqian, and she doesn't know what kind of clothing system the Qin Dynasty adopted, so she can only comfort her: "Young master is a filial person, and he will definitely understand Madam's heart. Minnv also thinks , Chufu is a very beautiful dress, and it will never be forgotten by the world." The last sentence, she seemed to be saying to herself.

Mrs. Chu smiled and looked at Jinhua: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." She ordered Zhuyu to bring in a set of clothes held by the attendant outside, "I will arrange for you to leave the palace quietly tomorrow morning, When you go back, give this suit to Fusu, and let him take it as...as a souvenir..." After she finished speaking, she was supported by Zhuyu to stand up, and left with a lonely expression.

Jinhua unfolded that gorgeous Chu suit, the reddish-brown silk cloth was embroidered with beautiful patterns of curling cloud patterns, the half-length shirt and short sleeves were what Zhuyu had just mentioned as "碛禂", which belonged to the people of Chu. clothes.In addition to this, there is a lower garment and an exquisitely crafted high crown.

"Gao Yu's crown is in jeopardy, long Yu wears Lu Li." This high crown must be similar to the one worn by Qu Yuan back then. Jin Hua imagined that Fusu would wear this Chu suit with a high crown and a belt. He could be crowned in such attire.

Just as she was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man's figure appeared at the door.Could it be that Gao Shiqian came here?She happily looked at the people who came, but was taken aback.

It was a stranger dressed in black who came, and before she could react, his head was covered with a cloth bag.

"Who are you..." Before she finished speaking, her mouth was covered, her arms were tied, and she was dragged out.As she walked forward in the darkness, she heard two familiar voices beside her.

"Go, don't let Zhuyu find out!"

"Deal with her as soon as possible, so as not to get in the way of my girl!"

It was Miru's two maids.It seems that they and the man in black cooperated inside and outside to make this game, and the man in black was probably sent by Hu Hai.It seemed that she would not be able to escape the palm of that little devil after all. She thought that she could use her own strength to help Gao Shiqian escape this time, but it seemed that she was thinking too much.

Jinhua thought in his heart, being dragged into a chariot by the man in black, he drove towards the unknown front...

Early the next morning, Gao Shiqian, as Fusu's entourage, marched towards Xianyang Palace.

The night before, Fusu monk Yiling, Fengchang, Yufuling and other officials in charge of etiquette and clothing discussed the clothing system, agreed on several sets of plans, drew blueprints, and waited to present it to Qin Shihuang in the hall today.When they reached the gate of the palace, Gao Shichen left Fusu's entourage on the pretext of going to the toilet, and groped all the way to Mrs. Chu's bedroom.

He was really worried about Jinhua's safety. With her behavior as a modern person, coupled with her nasty temper, it would be difficult for her to move forward in the ancient court.

Turning around, he finally found Mrs. Chu's bedroom. He hid behind a tree not far away and observed for a while. Seeing the right moment, he was about to sneak in through the back wall, but was knocked unconscious with a stick from behind.When he woke up again, he found himself locked in a cold and dark dungeon, and a boy was looking at him with an evil smile on his face.

His heart felt cold, the person in front of him was Hu Hai.
