After opening the door, Lu Jing couldn't help but look at Wen Xiaochuan a few more times, and then asked curiously, "How long did it take you to get dressed like this?"
"Almost all night," Wen Xiaochuan yawned, "and then I worked all morning to cover the new dark circles under my eyes."
"Is it necessary to fight so hard?"
"Of course," Wen Xiaochuan said without hesitation, "Except for me, the rest of our seven sisters are already married. We usually live in our husband's house and may not be able to see each other for several years. This time It's rare to get together again on the occasion of grandma's birthday. At this time, everyone will try their best to show their best side.
"On the one hand, it can reassure the family, but on the other hand, it is inevitable that there will be some comparisons with each other. Forget it before, I was still making rice bugs at home, but now I have decided to go out and work in the world, and then go back. Of course, you can’t be too casual when doing it.”
After listening to Wen Xiaochuan's words, Lu Jing lowered his head and looked at his clothes.
The set of dark clothes he is wearing now is already the best stock in his suitcase. The material is also of high quality. It cost him more than ten taels of silver. It is quite comfortable to wear and looks very generous. It is enough Cope with ordinary living and socializing.
But compared with Wen Xiaochuan's attire at this time, it seemed a bit out of place.
Moreover, before Lu Jinglin set off, he only took a shower and shaved with the new hanging razor that Chi made for him. He generally managed to look like a human being at a glance, but he didn't pay much attention to the details. .
Lu Jing himself didn't care, but seeing Wen Xiaochuan being so serious, he didn't want to hold the girl back.
However, it is too late to buy clothes now. After all, any high-end clothes in this era are basically cut on the spot. In addition, Lu Jing has always tied his hair up casually. If he really tied it up properly, well, he Neither has this ability.
Wen Xiaochuan seemed to see what he was thinking and took the initiative to say, "As for clothes, I have actually prepared three sets for you, Master Lu."
"You bought clothes for me when, but you don't know my size yet, right?" Lu Jing was a little surprised. He recalled his conversation with Wen Xiaochuan and confirmed that he had not revealed anything about this.
Not only Wen Xiaochuan, but also other people in the academy didn't know his specific measurements, because even Lu Jing himself asked the tailor to measure him in advance every time he bought clothes.
Wen Xiaochuan blinked, "I made this by my own visual inspection, but don't worry, my visual inspection is very accurate, and the error is usually only a few hairs."
Lu Jing took a deep breath when he heard this, "Is your eyesight so good?"
"Eye skills? Oh, no, no, no, I only practiced visual inspection of the size of clothes so that I can tailor clothes for my future officials. I am not good at other things." Wen Xiaochuan shook his head.
"…………"
Lu Jing didn't know what to say for a moment. In his opinion, Wen Xiaochuan clearly had good qualifications in all aspects. As long as she was willing to focus on business, even if she wasn't as good as Yan Yun, she could still compete with Zhao Ming and Lu Jing. The screens are almost the same.
But she just clicked all her skill points in very strange places.
However, Lu Jing didn't feel free to comment on other people's life choices. He chose one of the three sets of clothes Wen Xiaochuan brought and changed into them when he returned home.
I don’t know what kind of material this dress is made of. It looks thin, but it has a very good warmth-keeping effect when worn on the body.
And every silk thread is run very neatly, highlighting every detail. It is more like a work of art than a piece of clothing. I don’t know where Wen Xiaochuan bought it. Anyway, Lu Jing went to a tailor shop before, I have never seen clothes made like this.
Maybe there are other purchasing channels for rich women like Wen Xiaochuan. Just like the rich people in Lu Jing's previous life, you never know how much they can do with an ordinary thing.
After Lu Jing got dressed and walked out again, he saw Wen Xiaochuan rolling up his sleeves and stepping on his feet to get water from the well in the courtyard.
She also heated a pot of hot water on the stove on the other side, and on the stone table beside her were a wooden basin, a comb, scissors, eyebrow knives and other odds and ends. .
If Lu Jing hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Lu Jing to believe that Wen Xiaochuan had done so many things in just a short period of time. What's even more amazing was that her clothes were not messy at all, and there was no soot on her clothes.
When Wen Xiaochuan saw Lu Jing coming out, he also raised his head, looked him up and down several times, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and then pointed to the stone bench in front of him.
Now that he had reached this point, Lu Jing did not hesitate and sat on the stone bench.
Wen Xiaochuan picked up the comb, first combed Lu Jing's hair, and then used scissors to trim Lu Jing's sideburns... Her movements were very skillful, and her expression was unprecedentedly focused, as if she were a painter painting with ease. .
It only took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the pruning.
Then she fetched hot water, poured it into the wooden basin in front of Lu Jing, mixed it with well water to cool down, and cleaned up the broken hair on Lu Jing's head.
After all the water on the ends of his hair was wiped dry, Wen Xiaochuan picked up the comb again and began to comb and tie Lu Jing's hair.
At this moment, Lu Jing even had a slight illusion, as if he was really Chen who was preparing to go on a long trip, and Wen Xiaochuan was his wife, tying his hair before leaving.
It wasn't until Wen Xiaochuan took out a red rose that Lu Jing woke up from a dream and waved his hand to signal that he didn't want it.
He had lived in the Chen Dynasty for almost three years, and of course he knew that Chen people, both men and women, had the custom of wearing hairpins, which was especially popular among court officials and literati.
But Lu Jing himself couldn't accept it.
When Wen Xiaochuan saw this, he didn't force himself, so he left the red flower on the stone table, and then handed Lu Jing a bronze mirror.
Lu Jing looked at the person in his glasses. Even with this phone clarity, he could see that he was indeed much more energetic and handsome now than before. Especially the clothes he was wearing seemed to fit him very well. .
Lu Jing sighed, "Miss Wen, your ability to tailor clothes with your eyesight is really amazing."
Wen Xiaochuan wiped his hands and smiled, "It's just a little trick. As long as Mr. Lu doesn't laugh at me, I'll be fine. By the way, Mr. Lu can keep the other two sets of clothes and wear them. After all, those two sets of clothes are cut to your size." Yes, if you don’t want it, no one else can wear it.”
Lu Jing thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he accepted it without any further refusal.
However, he did not take other people's things in vain, and then said to Wen Xiaochuan, "When I harvest the next batch of ginseng, I will also give you a few to make tea."
Speaking of this, Lu Jing thought of Chen Hanqing, who had been helping him collect ginseng for the past two days, and wondered whether he should say something to him before leaving. But after all, Chen Hanqing should at least be there. There was only one more day to go to Jiutian, so Lu Jing gave up the idea.
Anyway, he will be back tomorrow and will not delay Chen Hanqing's work.
