Mi Xaing 'er drew a fashionable dress design with just a few strokes.
High collar, slim body, knee-length … a dark green wool dress with a wide belt around the waist.
To be honest, in such a short time, Mi Xiang 'er didn't have the chance to think carefully, let alone create anything. She simply copied a dress from her wardrobe from the 21st century and did some simple processing … Then, it appeared on the paper.
But even so, in Feng Shifeng's eyes, the reaction was different … Although he was famous for making Tang suits, at that time, if he wanted to have a place for himself in Shanghai, he had to integrate some of the trends of western clothing.
He looked at Mi Xaing 'er's design. Whether it was the design of the body or the technique of the shoulder … to him, it was a sudden enlightenment and a new concept.
How could it not be new?
The difference between the 21st century and the 1970s … was half a century of "rapid progress".
His mouth was half open, and his eyes wandered between the design and Mi Xaing 'er's face. He couldn't believe … a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl could have such a "genius" in design.
Feng Xiuzhu whispered submissively, "Dad, this dress is so beautiful!"
Feng Shifeng seemed to wake up from a dream and coughed lightly, "Mm, mm … it's not bad!"
He muttered in his heart … Looking at Mi Xaing 'er's "design concept", she was more than qualified to be his master, not to mention his disciple. But who would dare to wear such avant-garde clothes nowadays?
Mi Xaing 'er seemed to have seen through his doubts, "Master Feng, the reason why I want to make clothes is firstly because it's convenient for me to wear. Secondly, I think this industry will have a bright future! Clothing is the most important thing. In the future, when people's lives get better, they won't dress so monotonously like now, and they won't have to sew and mend clothes for three years like now! If you trust me and follow my path step by step, in time, you will still be the best master in Shanghai! "
"…"
Mi Xaing 'er raised her eyebrows proudly, "I don't have time to do it, but who knows … when I have a sudden impulse, I will create my own brand!"
Huh?
Brand?
Everyone in the room was stunned when she casually said that.
In that era, not many people had even heard of brands, let alone creating their own brands.
Feng Xiuzhu stared at Mi Xaing 'er in a daze.
She was a shy girl. Her thoughts and actions were very introverted. Sometimes, she would tell herself to be braver. She had done a lot of "psychological construction", but it never succeeded. She envied people who were full of confidence the most. Now that she saw Mi Xaing 'er, although she didn't say it out loud, she admired her for having such a heroic spirit at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Then, she looked at herself …
Compare!
He couldn't help but sigh!
She felt closer to Mi Xaing 'er.
Feng Shifeng pondered for a moment. "Alright then! Xiao Mi, I'll say it again … I might not be able to teach you well! However, you were brought here by Young Master Mo and Fifth Young Lady. For their sake, I can only say that I will try my best to teach you. As for how much you can learn, it will depend on your own ability! "
Mi Xaing 'er nodded mildly. "Alright! The master can show you the way, but it's up to you to practice! You don't have to teach me specially. As long as I stay by your side and look at you more often and give me pointers when I have problems, I'll be very grateful! "
After she finished speaking, she took out a small red packet from her pocket and respectfully handed it to Feng Shifeng. "Master Feng, I don't know the rules when you enter the sect. Even so, I can't come empty-handed if I want to trouble you in the future! This is money for your cigarettes and alcohol. It's not much, just a little token of my appreciation. Please accept it! "
Feng Shifeng hurriedly rejected it. "That won't do, that won't do. You were specially recommended by Young Master Mo. After so many years, how many favors do I owe him? I can't even remember them! What orders does he have? Can I not do as he says? How can I still accept money? "
Mi Xaing 'er didn't wait for him to finish speaking. "Your relationship with Brother Mo … has nothing to do with me! That's between the two of you. Let's talk about it alone! If you don't accept my small red packet, does that mean I'm not sincere enough? Alright then! I'll give you a bigger one when we get back! If you don't accept it? I'll give you a bigger one until you're satisfied! "
Since she had already put it this way, Feng Shifeng really didn't know what to do. He turned his head and looked at Mo Dongyang …
To be honest, Mo Dongyang felt pretty good. He felt that Mi Xaing 'er knew how to handle things and gave him and Feng Shifeng enough face.
He knew that Xu Jingya's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't lack money, so he simply nodded at Feng Shifeng. "Old Feng, why don't … you accept it? This also shows that Mi Xaing 'er is sincere to you! You don't have to feel bad about it. Just teach her properly! "
Feng Xiuzhu immediately agreed. "Dad, just accept it!"
He glanced at Mo Dongyang from the corner of his eyes. Jia? Xia tau value dragging aluminum as punishment? Low-grade Naxiao throwing away Qiche alpha forgive
Xu Jingya watched silently from the side. Although she didn't say anything, she was quite impressed with her daughter-in-law's ability to conduct herself.
Mi Xaing 'er was officially learning tailoring from Feng Shifeng …
She was quick-witted and was willing to study hard. At night, she would secretly read at home. During the day, she would do some odd jobs at the Feng residence. When she was free, Feng Xiuzhu would teach her tailoring. In less than two weeks, Feng Xiuzhu had exhausted all his skills and had nothing else to teach her. He taught her everything he knew.
Mi Xaing 'er had questions for her, but she couldn't answer them. She had to ask her father instead … After a few times, Feng Shifeng personally demonstrated tailoring.
When he taught Mi Xaing 'er step by step, he was also shocked …
For a "master" like Feng Shifeng, he naturally had to be picky when it came to accepting disciples. Not only did he require his disciples to have a certain level of foundation, but they also needed to be smart and creative. They also needed to be able to inherit the essence of the nation. In short, after so many years, there were only a few who could meet his standards. Even his daughter couldn't do it.
At this moment, when he saw Mi Xaing 'er … she understood everything immediately. No matter what it was, as long as he said it once, Mi Xaing' er could remember it clearly. Moreover, she didn't seem like a novice when it came to tailoring and designing. She understood the essence of Tang clothing and the advantages of Western clothing. Sometimes, when Feng Shifeng sat down and talked to her about his "vision" for the future of clothing and the market, he would feel a little "admiring" when he heard what Mi Xaing 'er said.
He gradually liked her … and he was more attentive when he taught her.
Three months later …
Mi Xaing 'er started tailoring on her own. Sometimes, she would even make "strange outfits" for customers who were especially "avant-garde". The customers were quite satisfied with her work and even started to introduce her to customers. Feng Shifeng was a businessman. How could he not be happy when he saw money? In front of Mo Dongyang, he praised Mi Xaing 'er a lot.
When this news reached Xu Jingya, she was, of course, especially happy.
That night …
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat at the dining table. She put a big fish head into Mi Xaing 'er's bowl. "Xiang, I think … your stomach has been growing quite fast recently. If you find it difficult, don't go to the tailor shop!"
Mi Xaing 'er shook her head. "I think it's quite good! It's annoying to be idle at home! Now that I can tailor clothes, I can sit there and think about things when I have nothing to do. I can move my hands and do some work so that I don't have to think too much all day! "
Think too much?
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingya understood. She sighed softly. "Xiang, you're almost five months pregnant. I've been there and I understand how you feel now … When a woman is pregnant, she hopes that her husband will be by her side. Even if he doesn't do anything, no one can replace the feeling of lying by the bed at night, touching the belly and talking to the child!"
Mi Xaing 'er put down the chopsticks in her hand and buried her face in the bowl as much as possible … She had been away for a few months and tried her best to avoid talking about Jingting. She was afraid that once she mentioned his name, her heart would break and she would feel terrible.
After being separated for so long, how could she not miss him?
As Xu Jingya said, the bigger her belly, the more she missed him.
Sometimes, she would hug the pillow and talk at night. "Tiger, are you okay now? In a few months, the child will be born. When that time comes … will you be by my side? Have you thought of a name for the child? "
Sometimes, she would take out the wedding photo and look at the man in it with a silly smile. "Tiger, I feel that the child in my belly seems to be moving! Yesterday, when I was sleeping, he kicked me. He was quite strong … so much like you! "
She couldn't say these feelings in front of Xu Jingya … She was afraid that she would worry, so she could only swallow it silently. The more she tried to hold it in, the more twisted the feelings grew under the suppression. Slowly, it grew into a kind of pain that she didn't want to talk about and couldn't touch.
Xu Jingya turned around and took out a small envelope from the drawer. She handed it to Mi Xaing 'er. "I understand how you feel. I can't do anything else. This is all I can do. Take a look and see what this is."
Mi Xaing 'er put down her chopsticks and opened the envelope. Inside was a black and white photo … It was a distant view. A man in a military uniform could be vaguely seen standing in front of an old building and talking to several soldiers in front of him.
Although the person in the photo was a little small, Mi Xaing 'er could still recognize at a glance that the man in the middle was Yun Jingting.
Her hands trembled slightly as she looked up at Xu Jingya. "Mom, this is …"
"I know you must be thinking about Tiger, so I asked someone to find out about his recent situation … and took a photo while I was at it!"
Mi Xaing 'er quickly said, "He … how is he recently?"
"He's fine! He's still working on the construction of the new city on T Mountain! As for your mother's matter, there's still no conclusion. She's missing … After all, it doesn't sound good. Although there's no conclusive evidence, there's still a possibility that she ran away to avoid punishment! Moreover, someone has been writing anonymous letters to the authorities, and Gu Qianxing refuses to let go … "
Mi Xaing 'er interrupted him. "What deep hatred does Gu Qianxing have for me? Why would he do that? "
Xu Jingya smiled bitterly. "In the past, he might have just wanted to make a contribution. Now, it's different. He really hates you!"
"…"
"I heard that ever since you left home, Tiger was so angry that he went to the hospital to beat him up. Gu Qianxing was so anxious that he fell down the stairs. I think … he broke his manhood! Because of this, he refused to let go of you! Firstly, it's for revenge. Secondly, only by proving that your mother is a spy can he appear more innocent and aggrieved! "
This …
Mi Xaing 'er really didn't know what to say.
She lowered her head and looked at Yun Jingting's photo. She seemed to be muttering to herself, "Tiger seems to have lost weight!"
Xu Jingya nodded. "I asked someone to find out more. Ever since you left home, Tiger's mood has been very bad. After returning to the army, he buried himself in work and almost didn't sleep or rest. He led the commando team for half a year and completed the mission in three months. He did make a contribution and was praised by the military, but he lost a lot of weight. I guess … a large part of the reason is because of you!"
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her voice. "Mom, you've been hiding outside for so many years. You didn't see your family and didn't communicate with them … Have you ever regretted it?"
Xu Jingya narrowed her eyes and looked at her. "Why? Do you regret it? "
After a long silence, she walked slowly to the window and looked at the quiet and beautiful moonlight in the courtyard. "Girl, it's going to be the Lunar New Year again. Every festive season, I miss my family. Every year, at this time, I encourage myself: Wait! Wait a little longer! Xu Jingya, you'll be able to see the moon soon! Since you've decided to give up, you have to protect your family until the end! No matter how tough it is, no matter how difficult it is, I have to endure until the end! "
She turned around and looked at Mi Xaing 'er. "But this is my personal opinion after all! Everyone has the right to choose a different life! Girl, I'm only going to ask you one thing … Should I let Tiger know about your situation? If you nod, I'll go and inform him now! This is your life. You have to make your own decisions. You have to taste all the joys and sorrows by yourself! "
