Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 240: Difficulty Returning Home (5)
Yueqing was drawing something in front of the case, while Qing'er stood behind her and watched her work.
"Miss, you want this and that, what are you doing?"
Yue Qing raised her head and looked at her: "You'll know when it's done. Where is the tailor Yue Ke called? Is he here?"
"No. It may take a while. Various fabrics have been delivered. Miss, should you look at them now or after you finish painting."
"Look now, I'll draw it later."
"Okay, I'll go and see the deacon right away." Qing'er said and walked out.
Qiaoer put the scented tea in front of Yue Qing, "Miss, you have been busy for so long, drink some tea."
Yue Qing brought it over and smelled it: "Yes, it has a refreshing fragrance. It's quite fresh. Is it newly made here?"
"Yes, Deacon Shen just sent it in."
Yueqing took a sip and sighed.
"What's wrong, miss? Doesn't it taste good?"
"It tastes delicious, fresh and slightly sweet. It's my favorite taste recently."
"Then why are you sighing?"
"I'm thinking, I'm almost getting used to you taking care of me every day."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Of course it's not good. It's not that you are not good, but it may not be good for me."
"Qiaoer doesn't understand."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "I'm worried about what I will do if one day I return to my old life and you are no longer with me. I used to be very good at cooking. I feel that after a while, I won't even be able to cook salt and pepper." I can’t even recognize the candy.”
Qiaoer blamed: "Why can't we tell the difference between salt and sugar? Besides, why are we not with the lady?"
Yue Qing pursed her lips: "Let's not discuss this anymore. Let's focus on the matters in front of us first."
Chang Shen and Qing'er walked in, followed by a group of maids carrying plates.
As soon as they came in, they lined up and saluted: "The maids have seen the young lady. The young lady is well."
Yue Qing first looked at the maids curiously, then asked them to get up. Asked Chang Shen who was standing aside: "Deacon Shen, are these maids from the villa?"
Chang Shen said: "No, this is the maid of the Yue family in this house, not from the villa."
"Oh, let me tell you, I have never seen so many maids before."
"It is the custom of the Li country to have maids serve in the inner courtyard. Most of these women are from poor backgrounds. The head of the Yue family bought some according to local customs and arranged them in this courtyard. He is usually responsible for taking care of this courtyard."
"Oh." Yue Qing walked up to the maids. The maids lowered their heads and held the trays with steady hands. Seeing that the moon was clearing, he lowered his head a little, and never dared to look at the moonlight from the beginning to the end.
Yue Qing sighed in her heart, although she had long known that women in feudal society were pitiful. But the real contact was after entering Li country. There were guards and Zhu guards in the villa, but there were no such human rights issues. What I could feel was loyalty and faith.
These were beyond her control. Yue Qing sorted out her thoughts, looked at the fabric in front of her, and felt uncomfortable when touching it. "This one is a little tough."
I looked at other fabrics and picked out a few soft ones.
"Just these kinds, put them down first, and don't use the others."
The maids left, leaving the fabrics behind.
Several people looked at Yue Qing curiously, Qing'er said: "Miss, what on earth are you going to do?"
"Why are you anxious? It's not done yet. I'm still thinking about how to do it. By the way, how do you usually deal with menstruation? There must be some way to deal with it. San Yuxiao, Deacon Shen, I say don't Listen to us women, please get out."
Qing'er smiled and said: "Miss, what haven't you seen Xiao Lingwei? You are so embarrassed. Our villa is not taboo about this. Except for you, there is no Zhu Wei among other courtyard owners. During menstruation, Lingwei and The Red Guards are taking care of it. Just you..."
Yue Qing interrupted her: "Okay, don't tell me this. We are in Li Country, not a villa. Besides, I am not used to this myself. We are very private. We will encounter this in the future. You men can't come to my room. Get out now."
Chang Yuxiao and Chang Shen looked at each other, turned around and went out.
Qing'er sighed: "Miss, our other courtyards in Qingyue Pavilion are becoming more and more different. It's fine that Lingwei and Chiwei are not allowed to enter the room on weekdays, but now it's better. Not only are they not allowed to enter the room, they are not even allowed to enter this private matter. Let know."
"It's right not to let anyone know." After saying this, Yueqing continued to lie down in front of the case and draw pictures.
Qing'er and Qiao'er stood behind and watched curiously.
"What on earth is this?"
I drew a few pictures. Yue Qing looked at it again and again, then added some things on it, and then started writing with satisfaction.
"It's done, that's it."
Qing'er quickly asked: "Is that it? What is this? It's very simple. Is this clothes?"
"You guessed it, it's the clothes. The little pants you wear underneath."
"Little pants? What are those?"
"Wear it here, like this." Yue Qing gestured.
Qing'er smiled and said, "Miss, why are you wearing something like this?"
"It's convenient."
Qing'er and Qiao'er looked at each other, and Qiao'er said: "It's strange that I have to let you see it. It's really private."
Yue Qing said: "Well, by the way, I haven't seen similar clothes here. How do you deal with menstruation here?"
Qing'er said: "If the menstruation comes for the hospital owners, they will usually have a specially sewn bag with soft cloth inside, and there will be mats in the resting area. They will not go out these days and stay in the room. Wait for your period to pass.”
"Oh. Then this cloth should be thrown away after use."
"Of course. It is usually replaced twice a day. It will burn after each replacement."
"Shouldn't you wash it off?"
"That's what other people do. Of course the hospital owners have to use new ones."
"Do you need to wash the things you use before continuing to use them?"
"Yes, most of the women in our villa do this."
"Then how to fix it?"
"This menstrual belt will have a rope, tie it around your waist."
"That's right." Yue Qing nodded. "In order for me to go out normally, I have to improve it according to our method."
"Is it the one the lady drew just now?"
"Of course it can't be just that, there has to be something else. This is what you see." Yue Qing picked up another painting.
"What are these? Are they also small pants?" Qiaoer asked curiously.
"Of course not, this is similar to your menstrual belt."
"Why does it look like this? How can the two ends be fixed without ropes?"
"There are ropes, all four of them."
"Isn't it too short?" Qing'er asked.
"It's not short. You'll know when you use it. Just wait for the tailor."
Yue Ke was a little slow in doing things this time, and he didn't come back until the sun was almost setting.
As soon as the person arrived, he began to apologize: "Miss, I must be impatient. Yue Ke apologizes."
Yue Qing glanced at the woman standing next to him, and then looked at him funny: "This is the first time you are so slow. What happened?"
"There's definitely something going on."
"It doesn't look too difficult to deal with?"
Yue Ke smiled and said, "It's been dealt with."
"Oh, that's good. Is this the tailor?"
Yue Ke said: "Yes, this is our best cloth shopkeeper in Yishui Town. In terms of clothing making skills, he is not bad."
The woman smiled and said: "It's just so-so. This craftsmanship is much worse than the masters of the Villa's Treasure Pavilion."
Yue Qing said: "It doesn't matter, the things I make are very simple and do not require too delicate craftsmanship. Where is this Treasure Pavilion you are talking about? Is it the Treasure Collection Pavilion?"
The woman said: "No, this treasure pavilion is a gathering place for treasures in the main city of the villa. The masters in the city are the most skilled in our villa's craftsmanship."
Yue Ke said: "When Miss made that necklace, Treasure Pavilion also had a sample, but unfortunately Miss didn't take a fancy to it. Instead, she fell in love with the sample from Treasure Pavilion."
"There's another thing. Well, what should I call you?"
"Back to the director, my name is Yue Wan. Just call me by my name."
"Your surname is Yue? Are you from the Yue family?"
Yue Wan said: "Yes, Yue Chi is my younger brother."
"Ah? You are still the sister of the head of the Yue family."
"The head of the Yue family is not fixed for a long time, but he will take over this period."
"I've already heard about your in-laws' affairs."
Yue Wan nodded, his mature face showing stability and competence, "I wonder what Miss wants to do?"
Yue Qing coughed and glanced at Yue Ke.
Yue Ke understood immediately, "I heard that the young lady did not let Chang Shen and Chang Yuxiao enter the house, saying that they would have private matters from now on and men were not allowed to enter the house. Yue Ke didn't want to make the young lady unhappy. It would be nice for Mrs. Wan to be here. I Wait outside, miss, if anything happens, call me."
"You're smart."
Yue Ke turned around and went out, closing the door.
Yue Wan watched him close the door, then turned around and said, "Miss, you can tell me what you want to do now."
Yue Qing nodded, walked to the case and sat down.
Yue Wan followed and walked over.
Yue Qing showed the painting to her and said, "You see, I just want to make these two things."
Yue Wan took the painting and asked, "What is this?"
Yue Qing explained: "This is called underwear, which is a bit similar to your underwear, worn underneath."
"Xie Yi? Is this Xie Yi?"
"Similar. You can put it on like this. There should be holes on this side. It's best to use soft and flexible fabrics. I have already selected some. You can take a look at it later. If it doesn't work, try each one."
Yue Wan looked at it for a while and said, "This little coat is very simple to make. The hospital master has a very unique idea."
"This is not what I thought. By the way, I asked them to call me Miss, so don't call me Master."
Yue Wan raised her head and covered her mouth with a smile, "I'm used to it, and I haven't changed it for a while. Please forgive me, Miss."
"It's okay. I don't want to explain too much to others. I heard that people in Li country also call me miss, so I asked everyone to call me miss."
"Li Guo does call women who have not left the government "Miss."
"I heard Yue Ke call you Mrs. Wan?"
Yue Wan smiled and said: "Of course I already have a family at my age."
"Oh, yes. They told me that a woman with a family is called a madam. Have you always lived in this city? Or do you often go back to the villa?"
"I basically stay in this city. My husband's family is from Li country."
Yue Qing asked curiously: "Then you only have one husband?"
"No, I have three men."
"Can your husband from Li country agree?"
"Before we got married, we already had one, and he knew all these things. There is nothing to disagree with, otherwise we wouldn't be together."
"Oh, that's amazing. I admire you from the bottom of my heart." Yue Qing said in admiration.
Yue Wan smiled and said: "Miss, why do you need to admire us? The number of men in our courtyard should be the most in our villa."
"I don't think so. If I get married in the future, I will only have one husband. Unless we get divorced, we will have someone else. We won't discuss this issue anymore. Mrs. Wan, please take a look at this again." Yue Qing added Another picture was handed to her.
Yue Wan looked at her and said, "Okay, let me take a look. Well, this is something new."
"There's nothing new. This is similar to a menstrual belt."
"Menstrual belt?"
"Yes, you see, this needs to be divided into many layers. The top two layers should be breathable, water-absorbent, and soft. The middle one can be made of old fabric. Its main function is to absorb water well. Then the bottom layer should be made of waterproof material. Or it can be multi-layered. These four places on the side need to be strapped, and then they will be fixed to the small pants. Then I have marked how big the whole thing needs to be. Then try to make it as thin as possible. , how about it, can you do it?"
"This is not difficult. Miss, do you mean that this thing should be fixed to the clothes?"
"yes."
Yue Wan put the two pictures together and looked at them several times, "Wonderful, this is really comfortable and convenient."
"right."
"Young lady is so smart."
"Stop praising me, it's not what I meant."
"But you are the only one who knows about it now, right?"
"Well, that's right."
"That's right. Okay, I understand, I'll go back to production."
"When will it be ready? I'm still waiting to leave."
"Miss, don't you want to hang out here? There are many interesting places in Yishui Town."
"I don't want to transfer anymore. I'll try again when I get the chance."
"Okay, I'll try to give the coat and menstrual bag to the lady tomorrow morning."
"Well, try to do as much as possible."
"Don't worry, Miss, this is not a difficult thing. Once the sample comes out, Miss will be satisfied. No matter where she goes in the future, as long as there is a cloth shop or embroidery workshop in our in-laws, she can use these at any time."
"Ah? Then there's no need to worry. Hey, Yue Ke and the others are the same. They don't know what to worry about."
Yue Wan smiled and said: "How did they know that the young lady has such a clever trick? The young lady cannot only blame them."
"It's not weird, as long as it's no longer a problem."
Yue Wan looked at her: "Miss, you are the kindest spirit girl I have ever seen, and you are also the most important spirit girl in our villa."
Seeing her serious attitude, Yue Qing was silent for a long time in embarrassment: "Hey, it's not good to deny it too many times. I can only say thank you for your praise. I will try my best to respond to your expectations."
Yue Wan nodded and left after seeing that Yue Qing had nothing else to explain.
Yue Qing walked to the door and saw Chang Yuxiao, Yue Ke, and Chang Shen still standing outside. Also standing waiting outside the door was Mo Xue.
Several people looked over at the same time. Yue Qing looked around and asked Mo Xue: "Mo Xue is here, what's the matter?"
