Although the characters were still a little distorted, they looked very nice. Gu Zhou was sweating profusely when he wrote these two characters. He was not very familiar with the way his hands moved when writing.

Shen Wu looked at the words he wrote and asked for the first time which dynasty this was: "Gu Zhou, let me ask you, what dynasty is this and who is the emperor?"

Gu Zhou was stunned by her sudden question, put down his pen and said: "Dynasty? Although I don't know what you mean, this is the Eternal Dynasty, the name of the Emperor... cannot be called out with dirty words."

Shen Wu asked again: "Do all of you in Yongchao write in this font?"

Gu Zhou thought about it and nodded even though he was not sure; "It should be. The teacher mentioned occasionally before that his handwriting was learned from the handwriting of the Marquis of Jingcheng, and it should be of this type of font." Gu Zhou didn't know why she was curious about this, but he still cleared up her confusion.

Shen Wu also knew some of the taboos of the ancients. He touched the words he wrote and murmured, "Yongchao?" Then, as if he had learned something despairing, he closed his eyes and sighed.

From the moment she saw the words, she wondered if she had traveled back to the Qin Dynasty.

It is clearly written in history books that small seal script was used to unify the writing system after Qin unified the six kingdoms. If what Gu Zhou said was the same throughout the Yongchao period...she should have been in the Qin Dynasty.

But the dynasties don’t match, and some details are very different from the real thing.

Although the clothing of this dynasty was very similar to the brown clothes, ramie robes, shirts, and jackets of the Qin Dynasty, they were not the same. The hair was tied into a simple bun like in film and television works.

She thought... she must have arrived in an imaginary dynasty. If she really traveled back to the past, would she still be able to understand what these people were saying? Ancient language and modern language can be said to have nothing in common.

She should have realized from the beginning that this was a fictional era.

Gu Zhou saw that she suddenly stopped talking and turned her face to him. When her eyes were open, they reflected the small light of the oil lamp. Her pupils seemed to be suddenly watery, and her face was filled with helplessness and sadness. She looked at the lamp and could cry in a second.

"What? What's wrong?" She was the one who suddenly became like this after she said those words. Gu Zhou quickly reviewed his words and found that there was no problem with what she asked.

Shen Wu came back to his senses, turned to Gu Zhou and smiled: "It's okay, I thought of something."

Gu Zhou could clearly see the expression on her face when she turned around. The smile seemed to be forced, and there was a gleam of tears in her eyes.

"Then I'll go back first." Gu Zhou didn't feel comfortable asking, so he quickly said goodbye and went back to the house.

Shen Wu sent the person away and quickly closed the door. She slumped down on the edge of the bed, her back arched and her hands resting weakly on the bed.

Suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable. How did I end up in this place? It was so far away from home that I couldn't even find the way home.

She also thought that when she made money in the future, she would protect more things from this era, and then preserve them in various ways and bury them in the mountains. When the country had money and the ability to dig them out in the future, she would add more treasures to China's history.

Shen Wu laughed at himself for having a wild imagination. Not to mention the dynasty issue, even if he really went back to China's past dynasties, his mediocre abilities would have been seen through by his ancestors long ago, and he would probably have been swept away by the unstoppable tide of history as soon as he emerged.

Shaking away the random thoughts in his mind, Shen Wu sat back at the table and began cutting the cloth by the light of the oil lamp.

The scissors used by Gu Zhou's mother were very similar to modern scissors, but they were bulky and heavy, and not very sharp. Using them tested one's patience and the quality of the cloth.

Shen Wu cut out the drawn fabric pattern and took out the needle and thread to prepare for sewing.

The needle was very thick, a bit like the largest quilting needle of her time, and the buttonhole was also ridiculously large, making it very easy to thread the needle.

Shen Wu took out a piece of black thread and passed it through the eye of the needle. He tied a knot at the end and began to connect the side seams and sleeves.

After thinking about it, she decided to make a hollow collar. This way, the clothes would be made faster. Although it didn’t look very good, it was convenient and quick.

She planned to make a top imitating a Chinese style with a round collar and a front opening. In order to save some steps and finish it in one night, she added two centimeters to the inner part of the collar. This way, she only had to make a few cloth buttons on the outside and sew a nose on the other side.

Her many years of hand-sewing skills were not fake, and she quickly sewed the side.

After connecting the side seams, I suddenly remembered that women in ancient times were not allowed to expose their arms, so I quickly cut two more pieces of cloth and put them together to extend the sleeves.

She made a drop shoulder design. If you don't look at the sleeves and only look at the whole body, you can see that it reaches the elbows. The sleeves don't need to be too long, just a few dozen centimeters will be enough.

After finishing the sleeves, she had to sew the sleeve base and the body of the garment. She turned the garment over, passed the sleeve through the inside of the garment, and aligned the sleeve base with the cuff of the garment. In less than five minutes, she had sewn an arm.

The other arm was also very fast and was completed in less than five or six minutes.

Shen Wu turned the clothes over to face herself, measured her neck circumference with the cloth strip, and looked at the width of the collar she wanted before she began to draw the neckline on the finished clothes.

She used the ancient round-neck method to make the neckline. She took the midpoint from the bottom and extended the same desired distance on each side as the ideal collar width. She then drew the depth of the neckline downwards, found the midpoint on the neckline depth line and aligned it with the initial midpoint to make sure the left and right neckline depth lines were consistent with the top line.

The last step is to draw a semicircle. Just draw any arc in the lower half of the square, as long as the lines are smooth.

Turn the clothes over to the back, and count down about two centimeters from the width of the neckline as the depth of the back collar. Then you can cut the neckline.

Shen Wu quickly took a pair of scissors to cut out the collar, took off his coat and put it on his head to try out the effect.

This dress is a little big, but it's very good. The material is very comfortable to the touch. It would be better if it was worn close to the body. The collar is not too big according to her taste, which is just right. The sleeves are long because the cuffs have not been rolled up. After that, they will reach the wrists.

The length of the dress is a bit too big for this body, but it is enough to be worn for a long time.

After taking off his clothes, Shen Wu quickly rolled up the cuffs and hem.

These two places are still easy to sew, just use a flat stitch. Although the black stitches are very obvious on the gray and white cloth, she is going to dye it so it is not a problem.

The collar had to be hemmed. Shen Wu estimated the width he wanted, drew the line with a pen, and cut it diagonally.

The hemming was a bit tricky, and it was difficult to shape without an iron. Fortunately, she had sewed clothes by hand before, so using an oil lamp late at night was a little tiring for her eyes. However, she still finished the hemming quickly.

After finishing tying the last knot, Shen Wu mentioned the first dress she made for herself in ancient times. If she was quick enough, she could make it for them tonight! They could take a bath and change clothes tomorrow!!!

She had wanted to take a bath for a long time, but her family was extremely poor, and her clothes had a smell from being worn for a long time, although she could bear it!!!

I am so tired during the day, fall asleep as soon as I lie down at night, and don’t even wash up in the morning! ! But I really can’t stand it anymore! ! !

She needs to take a shower and clean herself up quickly. If she continues like this, she's going to break apart.

Shen Wu had the experience of making clothes for himself, so he immediately cut out the patterns for their clothes and started sewing them overnight, determined to finish them before tomorrow.
