Cypress Boat Floating

After leaving the Lin residence, Lin Ruoyun walked briskly towards the clothing store. Along the way, she was immersed in her vision of future life. The cozy little house that would soon belong to her and her sister kept appearing in her mind, and she was thinking about how to decorate it carefully.

She planned to buy a small and exquisite house with three rooms. One of them would be her sister's cozy boudoir, where she could put her favorite things; another would be Lin Ruoyun's bedroom, which would be simple and comfortable; and the last one was envisioned as a study room for the two sisters, which would be filled with the fragrance of books.

Although the kitchen is not big, it should be just right for daily cooking. Lin Ruoyun imagined herself busy in this small world, cooking delicious meals for her sister, and her heart was filled with happiness.

After the house is properly decorated, she can not only get more work from the owner of the clothing store, but also take the finished clothes home for processing. This way, her income will definitely increase a lot. If she works hard to save some money, when her skills are more skilled, she will have the confidence to try to open her own small shop and run her own small business.

Thinking that her sister might meet someone she likes in the future, and that she would be able to prepare a more generous dowry for her sister when she gets married, Lin Ruoyun couldn't help but smile with relief. The future is bright and full of infinite possibilities. Just these beautiful fantasies made Lin Ruoyun so excited that she felt like she was floating.

When Lin Ruoyun arrived at the clothing store, Lu Ciqiu and Ye Jianqing had not arrived yet, but she was not in a hurry. After she put away the things she brought, she sat down in front of the counter and watched the shopkeeper busy doing business.

Just when the shopkeeper had just completed a business deal, Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing walked into the store together.

"Sir, Madam." Seeing them coming in, Lin Ruoyun hurriedly stood up to greet them. Perhaps because of the urgent matter of moving out of the Lin Mansion, she lost some of her usual composure at the moment, and almost bumped into the cabinet when she walked out from the counter.

Ye Jianqing smiled and nodded at her, reaching out to gently support her, and said with concern: "Be careful."

Ye Jianqing's gentle behavior made Lin Ruoyun's affection for her doubled, and the faint fragrance emanating from her body made Lin Ruoyun feel extremely warm.

"Thank you, ma'am." Lin Ruoyun said gratefully.

"Miss Gu, are the clothes ready?" Lu Ci Qiu didn't look at the current environment and asked directly as if he was a blind person, causing Ye Jianqing to roll his eyes at him.

"It's ready." Lin Ruoyun replied, taking the clothes out of the package on the counter.

Ye Jianqing gave her a piece of black cloth. The style of clothing she wanted was simple and easy to move. Therefore, Lin Ruoyun resolutely abandoned the wide cuffs commonly seen in women's clothing in the past, changed the sleeves to be narrower, and added a cufflink at the wrist, so that the sleeves can be buttoned at will and rolled up easily. This change greatly facilitated various activities, and there was no need to worry about dirtying the sleeves.

In addition, pure black may be a bit dull and boring. In order to add a bit of vitality and liveliness, Lin Ruoyun carefully embroidered several bamboo sections at the hem with light green silk threads based on her initial impression of Ye Jianqing, and decorated the top with a row of bamboo leaves accordingly. The whole picture was instantly filled with vigorous vitality.

"This dress is really beautiful." Ye Jianqing unfolded the clothes, looked at them again and again, his heart filled with joy.

"Madam, I'm glad you like it." Seeing that the clothes she made were loved by others, Lin Ruoyun was also sincerely happy: "Madam, do you need to go to the backyard to try them on? It's a good opportunity to see if there is anything that doesn't fit, and I can help you modify it."

"Okay." Ye Jianqing responded and walked towards the room in the backyard where he had measured the dimensions last time.

The dress fits her body perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for Ye Jianqing. Although the color is deep black, it does not look old-fashioned at all; on the contrary, the bamboo joints and leaves dotted on the dress add a touch of vitality and energy to her originally calm temperament, making her look younger and more energetic.

"Very good!" Lu Ci Qiu walked around Ye Jianqing who had changed clothes for several times, with a satisfied look on his face, and immediately paid the remaining silver to Lin Ruoyun. Ye Jianqing also liked this new dress very much, especially the design of the sleeves, which reminded her of modern shirts. This unique style made her particularly excited. So, she secretly wondered whether she could ask Lin Ruoyun to help make a few sets of modern clothes so that she could try them out.

Ancient clothes are indeed exquisite and comfortable to wear, but as summer approaches and the weather gets hotter, these clothes sometimes make people feel a little stuffy and unbearable. In addition, sometimes they are indeed not convenient and practical. At this moment, Lin Ruoyun has received the remaining money and is happily planning the house she is going to buy next. She has no time to stay here any longer. Ye Jianqing and Lu Ciqiu ordered another set of clothes and paid part of the deposit before leaving together.

Lin Ruoyun received more silver than she expected and was very happy, but after all, they had to borrow the shopkeeper's place to make this business, so she gave the shopkeeper some silver as a thank you.
