Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong nodded, "Jin Hengshu and Li Yanran are both people who love fame. They must want their children to get into the best middle school. Even if they fail, Jin Hengshu, as the deputy director of the Education Bureau, can arrange for them to get in."

"But if your child can get in based on his or her real ability, it's something worth showing off."

The two chatted for a few more sentences. Seeing that there was nothing else worth noting, Ai Shutong gave Yingtao two dollars and said, "The weather is getting warmer. See if there is anything you need to buy. Buy it. Don't be too hard on yourself."

Cherry eyes looked at Ai Shutong with tears in them, "Miss, when can I come back to serve you?"

Ai Shutong sighed helplessly, "Unless we leave here, forget it."

She had no control over her situation in this mansion.

Even if his situation improved and he could make his own decisions, he would not dare to ask Cherry to be by his side, mainly because Li Yanran was still chasing Cherry.

Although things seemed calm around her now, she was sure that Jin Hengsu and Li Yanran were watching.

Watching Yingtao leave, Ai Shutong hurried to Chunyi Pavilion. She came here while Baiguo was out buying fabric.

She has to go back earlier than Baiguo.

Otherwise, if Baiguo found out that I came out alone, she might become more alert.

As soon as March began, Ai Shutong got two sets of New Year clothes.

"It looks so beautiful, Sister Baiguo, you have such a deft hand." Ai Shutong, wearing her New Year outfit, turned left and right in front of the mirror.

"But now it's fashionable to wear dresses, and I don't have any, alas!" He sighed and sat back in his chair.

Bai Guo looked at Ai Shutong with an apologetic look in his eyes, "I don't know how to make dresses."

Ai Shutong lowered her head and moved her eyes left and right. "Sister Baiguo, can you take me to a foreign tailor to make a set?"

"Look, young lady, you go to foreign shops to buy clothes. The clothes in foreign shops are too expensive. I dare not ask for them. But the clothes from foreign tailors are much cheaper. Don't I deserve to have one?"

As he spoke, he pulled Bai Guo's arm with both hands and sighed, "Sister Bai Guo, please, go talk to the master. I promise to listen to you after I get out."

Bai Guo saw that she was a young lady, yet she looked so pitiful. He also remembered that he saw the eldest young lady happily buying many things from the foreign company two days ago. Finally, he could not bear it and nodded.

The next day, when practicing calligraphy, Ai Shutong felt greedy and wanted to eat butter meat pie, so she asked Baiguo to ask the kitchen if it could be made today.

After Baiguo left, Ai Shutong took out a new piece of paper and calmed down to write a letter to Lin's mother.

Four days later, Bai Guo walked in happily, "Miss, Li Shuan, who works for the master, came over and said the master wants to see you."

Then he lowered his head and whispered, "I told the master the day before yesterday that you wanted a dress."

Ai Shutong sat down in front of the dressing table happily, "Bai Guo, quickly comb my hair."

Bai Guo said with a smile: "Miss, you don't need to wear your hair in a bun. Now everyone in our house is following the fashion. The eldest lady will wear two pigtails like you."

"They say it's a student hairstyle. All girls out there wear their hair like this."

Ai Shutong knew it, but she wanted to show the scar on her forehead so that Jin Heng could comb it.

Her face has been disfigured and she is worthless. There is no need for her to stare at me like that.

"Hey! Baiguo, didn't you say, ah... no, the master likes obedient and well-behaved girls? I was thinking that if I had a bun, he might be more..."

Ai Shutong, who had a smile on her face, suddenly lowered her head in frustration when she said this.

Bai Guo quickly stepped forward and said, "Okay, I'll give you a double-bun hairstyle, it will definitely be very beautiful!"

Heng Shu stared at the legitimate daughter in front of him who was lowering her head with complicated eyes.

She has a beautiful oval face and delicate facial features. If it weren't for the glaring scar on her forehead, she would have been such a beautiful lady!

A trace of regret flashed through my mind.

She looks so well-behaved now, a world of difference from the last time we met.

Heng Su sighed helplessly, what a coincidence!

I don’t know how Li Yanran can be a mother. She can’t even raise a child. She is so useless!

"You want a dress?" he asked gently.

Ai Shutong glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that he looked okay, she pretended to be cautious and said, "I want it."

She lowered her head and smiled shyly, "I used to wear dresses, they were beautiful and comfortable."

Heng Shu has always been a big spender. After hearing what Ai Shutong said, he didn't want her to look down on the Jin family. "Here are twenty dollars. Use it to make a dress."

Ai Shutong took it without hesitation. Twenty dollars was definitely a lot of money. She could make several suits of clothes from a foreign tailor.

But if you go to a foreign company to choose, you won’t be able to find any good ones.

But Ai Shutong didn't care, she was not interested in that.

The next day was a sunny day. A servant named Guiman and Baiguo followed Ai Shutong out of the Jin Mansion.

The car left Donghuai Hutong and headed straight for the nearest foreign tailor shop. It only took a dozen minutes to arrive.

After getting off the bus, Ai Shutong looked up and saw the New Ladies' Dress Store. Looking through the two large glass windows, it looked very fashionable.

The cabinet man stood at the door consciously.

Ai Shutong smiled and pulled Baiguo in. The store was quite large and clean inside.

A woman came up to me with a smile and said enthusiastically, "Miss, do you want to make a dress? We have several new styles here. I'll take you to see them."

Ai Shutong was naturally not unhappy about it. She followed the woman through the crowd and the ladies in line.

Ai Shutong looked left and right, her eyes were not enough. The three of them walked to the innermost part, and the woman pulled open a curtain, revealing a small room of about ten square meters. Opposite was a window, and under the window was a wooden couch.

On the left was a row of wooden racks with a lot of cloth hanging on them, and on the right was a large mirror taller than a person.

Ai Shutong liked it as soon as she saw it, "What a big mirror."

This is the first time I have seen such a big mirror since I came here.

She walked quickly forward and started taking pictures, turning left and right.

The woman smiled and said, "We ordered this from a foreign company. You can't buy a mirror this big anywhere else."

Ai Shutong nodded and replied, "Yes! I haven't seen him before. The boss is really generous."

Bai Guo couldn't help but say, "If the young lady likes it, you can go back and tell the master. There is a big peep show in the young lady's room."

The woman next to her raised her eyebrows slightly. She was right. Although the clothes the young lady was wearing were not fashionable, the material was indeed very good. In addition, she had a maid following her, so she was most likely from a wealthy family.

Ai Shutong pretended to be excited and asked, "Will the master agree?"

Bai Guo hesitated, "I think so."

Ai Shutong's excited little face immediately dimmed, and Bai Guo felt distressed again.

"Sister Baiguo, I want to eat golden canary and Ruyi rolls. Can you go buy some for me?"
