Capítulo 37: Making Clothes for Him

Editor: Atlas Studios

"That's not it. I was thinking that we should make clothes for Big Brother Xu." Ye Qingshu shook his head and explained.

"Firstly, these clothes would be cheaper. Secondly, it's sincere of us to sew them ourselves. However, if I ask Big sister to make clothes for a man, I'm afraid you won't be willing and the other party will misunderstand."

When Ye Qingyu heard this, she almost instantly understood what Ye Qingshu meant. In the modern world, giving a man clothes that were personally sewn by hand implied some affection.

Moreover, in ancient times, a woman's reputation was greater than the heavens. It was very inappropriate to make clothes for a man. It would even be suspected that they were meeting in private.

Ye Qingyu naturally couldn't say that she didn't mind at all in order to save money. She still had to protect her reputation, so she said,

"This is not a problem. When I'm done, you send it to him. Just say that our mother made it.

You don't have to be afraid that I'll take it to heart. I'll just treat it as doing business. Making clothes for anyone is the same.

I even took on the job of embroidering purses. Perhaps the purses I embroidered have been bought by other men. Do I have to take it to heart?"

Ye Qingshu did not expect his big sister to say this. After being stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face. "Big sister is right!"

"Coincidentally, the embroidery workshop is not far ahead. Let's go there and buy cloth," Ye Qingyu said.

Ye Qingshu naturally had no objections.

When the shopkeeper saw Ye Qingyu and Ye Qingshu enter, he greeted her warmly. "It seems that you've finished your business. This is the first younger brother you mentioned, right? One look and you can tell that he's a scholar."

"Yes, my first younger brother has been studying since he was young and is very smart." Ye Qingyu smiled and praised his brother.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy a few feet of silk cloth to make clothes. What colors do you have? Show me."

This kind of cloth was made of long silk, cotton, or other yarn. It was thick and clear. It was much better than rough cloth and gab.

However, it could not compare to satin silk. It was a medium-grade cloth and was about half a tael of silver for ten feet.

Ye Qingyu had also thought about it carefully when she chose to buy this kind of cloth. It was neither expensive nor cheap, and it was made of cotton to absorb sweat. It was very suitable for Xu Jingnan to wear.

"Wait a moment. Do you want to make clothes for your first younger brother? There are a few green ones that are suitable for students like him," the shopkeeper said with a smile. He turned around and was about to take the goods from the container.

"Shopkeeper, I'm not making it for my first younger brother. I'm giving it to someone else." Ye Qingyu roughly explained Xu Jingnan's height and calm temperament.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at her again and did not say anything else. Instead, he immediately took a few bolts of dark-colored cloth for her.

Ye Qingyu asked her first younger brother for his opinion and finally chose a bolt of dark blue cloth. The texture on it was quite beautiful, and Ye Qingyu was quite satisfied.

Since Xu Jingnan was tall, Ye Qingyu bought ten feet of cloth. She thought that the remaining cloth might be used to make clothes for her second aunt's Xiaobao.

Then, Ye Qingyu spent another 30 copper coins to buy five feet of cloth for her second aunt. Now that she didn't have much money, she could only buy the cheapest cloth.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any scraps of cloth here that you don't want? The kind you completely abandoned." After paying, Ye Qingyu asked again.

"There are, but you won't even be able to do anything to those rags. Moreover, it's not worth it to spend needles and thread on them. Why do you want them?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.
