Chapter 234 Tailor-made
Qianzhi's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she said, "Oh? It's an honor for me that the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family came to me personally to make clothes. However, I must first explain that my designs always follow my inner inspiration and may not completely follow conventional styles."
Linghua smiled lightly and responded affectionately, "Well, I've heard about this a long time ago. This dress will be worn during the Lantern Festival, and we don't want to see the same old style."
After listening to Linghua's explanation, Qianzhi nodded thoughtfully, expressing her understanding. She then stared at Linghua, her eyes revealing a look of serious thought, and slowly asked, "So, may I ask, is this dress tailored specifically for you? Or is it actually a gift for your husband?"
Linghua lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "It's neither for me nor for him. It's for my master."
Qianzhi was slightly stunned. "Are they your teachers at Inazuma? They are old and stubborn. They definitely can't understand my design. I'm sorry, I don't have that ability."
Linghua shook her head repeatedly: "No, Qianzhi, my master is from Liyue. Unlike those rigid teachers in Inazuma, her ideas are very open-minded. She has taught me many new things and can be said to be my family."
Qian Zhi's expression softened slightly, and she asked with a hint of curiosity, "I'm sorry for being rude. Since you're Liyue's master, I can boldly incorporate more Liyue elements. What's the size of the dress?"
Linghua scratched her head. "This... I haven't looked into it. She's taller than me and has a great figure, but I'm not sure of her exact measurements. What should I do?"
Qianzhi was not in a hurry. "Why don't you take me to see him, so that I can see him in person. It will also be convenient for me to tailor clothes later. By the way, let me see what kind of teacher can make you care so much."
Linghua thought about it carefully and said, "This is also an idea. Do you have time now?"
Qianzhi nodded and said, "Yes, after cleaning up some garbage, we have a lot more time left. Let's go."
Linghua's face showed a hint of joy, and she took Qianzhi's hand and said, "Let's go. We opened a milk tea shop in Liyue. Master should still be helping out in the shop. She really likes chatting with people and always gets along well with the customers. You will definitely like her too."
When Qianzhi heard this, a look of curiosity and anticipation appeared on her face, and she followed Linghua towards Bailu Shuanghua.
Along the way, Linghua continued to share various interesting stories about her master in the milk tea shop, saying that her master could always cleverly remember the taste preferences of regular customers, and would also enthusiastically recommend special drinks to first-time customers, creating an exceptionally warm and lively atmosphere in the store.
It wasn't long before the two arrived at Bailu Shuanghua. It was peak season, and the shop was bustling with activity. Customers came and went, and from time to time bursts of cheerful laughter and joyful conversation could be heard.
Linghua smiled and held Qianzhi's hand tightly as she walked into the store.
Seeing Linghua leading Qianzhi over, Xinyang quickly came over with a warm smile on his face, "Qianzhi, long time no see! Do you remember me?"
Qianzhi looked up at the voice and after a closer look, asked uncertainly, "Are you... Xinyang? You're here too. Has your company's executive switched jobs and opened a shop in Liyue?"
Xinyang shook his head, his eyes full of smiles, then naturally reached out and held Linghua's hand, "Didn't Linghua tell you? The owners of this store are the two of us." As he said, he gently shook his hand which was interlocked with Linghua's.
Qianzhi followed their movements and her eyes fell on the rings they were wearing. Suddenly, she understood and a delighted smile appeared on her face. "I see, that's how it is. I hadn't thought of that. It looks like you guys are living a very fulfilling life, and this store looks like it's doing pretty good business!"
Xinyang's face was full of pride: "Haha, it's all thanks to everyone's support. By the way, didn't Linghua come to you to make clothes? How come you're back so soon?"
Linghua lowered her head with some guilt: "It's my fault. I've been with Master for so long, but I didn't know Master's clothing size. I just found out after I told Qianzhi about this, so I planned to bring her here to see Master and measure her size."
Xinyang patted Linghua's head and comforted her, "It's not your fault. We haven't paid much attention to this matter on weekdays. Now just bring Qianzhi here to be measured."
"But, Master never asked us what size clothes we should wear, yet the clothes he made fit us perfectly." Linghua's voice became smaller and smaller.
"So she is our master. These seemingly insignificant details precisely reflect that the master's abilities and experience far exceed ours. And this is where we are inferior to the master. This also shows that we still need to work harder. Okay, don't feel guilty. Let's go and measure the master's size." Xinyang said as he pulled Linghua and took Qianzhi to the front desk.
As they walked, Linghua's mood relaxed a little. She nodded slightly and replied, "You're right. Master always has many things we admire and can learn from. This time, I must ask Qianzhi to take the exact measurements and make a piece of clothing that will satisfy Master."
Qianzhi also echoed, "Listening to what you said, I feel more and more that your master is not a simple person."
As they were talking, several people had already arrived at the front desk.
Xianyun thought Qianzhi was a guest, so he came over with a warm smile and said, "Welcome. This girl doesn't look familiar. What would you like to drink? I'd like to recommend something to you."
Xin Yang knew that Ling Hua was too embarrassed to speak, so he spoke first, "Master, this is Qian Zhi, an old friend of ours. She is a very professional seamstress. She came here today to take your measurements."
Xianyun nodded in realization, "So that's how it is. Oh, I told you long ago that there's no need to bother with this. Now I have to trouble others."
Although he said this, Xianyun's body was very honest and he had already walked up to the few people.
Qianzhi was a little surprised. "You are Linghua's master. You look really young. From what Linghua said before, I thought you were a respected old man."
Xianyun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Haha, age doesn't mean anything. What matters is knowledge and ability. But thank you for the compliment. It's always a pleasure to look young. Did Linghua say anything else to you?"
Qianzhi responded with a smile: "She said that you are an easy-going person, and now it seems that it is true."
Xianyun's smile deepened. "Linghua is a child who knows how to say nice things. I also like chatting with people because I have experienced a lot."
"Master," Xin Yang interrupted Xian Yun, "why don't you guys measure the size first? There are a lot of people here. Go inside and tell Qian Zhi if you have any ideas. We'll be watching here."
"Yes, I forgot about the important matter. Come on, I'll take you there."
Xianyun led Qianzhi to the inner room and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Qianzhi. Let's get started. I'm also curious about what kind of clothes you can make."
Qianzhi took out a tape measure and carefully observed Xianyun's standing posture. Then she said softly, "I'll measure from the shoulders first. Just relax a little."
As he spoke, he gently placed the tape measure on Xianyun's shoulder. While measuring, he carefully wrote down the size. He was also thinking about the design of the shoulder. He thought of slightly improving the exquisite cloud shoulder style of Liyue's traditional clothing and incorporating some auspicious floral embroidery to make the overall look more charming and elegant.
After measuring the shoulders, Qianzhi then measured Xianyun's arms, saying, "Your arms are long and well-proportioned. I thought I could embroider some lively crane designs on the cuffs with silk thread. It would match the overall style and would definitely look great."
Xianyun listened with a smile and responded, "Your idea is quite interesting. It sounds like it would be a very beautiful dress."
Afterwards, Qianzhi measured Xianyun's chest, waist, hips and other dimensions one by one. Every time she measured one, her idea of the dress became more complete in her mind.
