The ten girls looked at each other. After a while, one of them spoke up. "Miss, yesterday, we saw the clothes that you had made for the Provincial Governor's wife. We weren't able to see anything special about it, yet we were afraid that if we asked, you would scold us..."
Mu Yunyao smiled, "You saw that the clothing looked really ordinary, and thought that it was weird that I was giving it to the Provincial Governor's wife?"
"Please forgive us, we just thought really hard but couldn't really find a reason, so..."
"Although we say that these clothes are tailored according to a person's measurements, it does not only depend on those measurements. It also depends on the person that we are making the clothes for. For different people, of course the clothes must be different. There is no point in making heavily decorated clothing for a child, and totally wrong to make bright, colourful and fun clothing for an elderly. No one would want to see that."
"So Miss is saying that you made the clothes according to the Provincial Governor's wife's aura?"
Mu Yunyao smiled, but she did not answer her. "Alright, it's not early anymore. You should all continue with your sewing." In just a few days, there were already three girls who had shown immense improvement, totally surpassing Mu Yunyao's expectations. Soon, they will be of great use to her.
When the Provinicial Governor's wife heard that Lady Jin had brought her clothing, she immediately enthusiastically invited her in. When she saw Lady Jin was about to do her formal greeting, she quickly stopped her. "Don't mind these formalities, it's such a hot day, and yet you had to take the trouble to come here, I am regretful. We have some ice bowls in the kitchen, we can taste them together."
Lady Jin, however, still did her greetings. Then, she went to sit beside the Provincial Governor's wife. "That girl was someone that I had chanced upon. I asked her to make clothes for me, and you happened to like it. These two days, I have been unable to sleep as I am afraid of the possibility that you might have waited so long for nothing."
"Clothes are just an accessory. One more or one less is nothing. If I had known that you have been feeling troubled, I would not have had requested this favour of you." The Provincial Governor's wife was nearly fifty, yet she had taken care of her appearance. Only the sides of her eyes had wrinkles. When she smiled, she seemed warm and kind. "Quick, let me take a look."
"Yin Hong, bring the clothing over here." Yi Hong did as she was told.
When she saw the clothing, the Provincial Governor's wife's expression was a bit unnatural. The clothing was very traditional, nothing too special. The top and bottom were only coloured with different shades of green. It looked quite boring. There were also only dark flowers embroidered onto it, yet if one were not to take a closer look, it would not be so obvious. It was not as eye-catching as the clothing she had bought from Colour Moon Shop.
Lady Jin sipped her tea with her head lowered. When she saw the Provincial Governor's wife's unhappy face, she thought for a moment before speaking up. "At first, when I had that girl make my clothes, the style had been copied by others. I thought that I would be unable to wear it to the banquet, but who knew, there was a secret to it. When I walked, it looked amazing."
The Provincial Governor's wife nodded her head. She studied the clothing another time and could not help but feel disappointed, though she did not show it on her face. She, however, had to give Lady Jin some face and try it on. "You sit here for a while, I will go and try it on, perhaps there might be a surprise to it."
Then, she got her servant to carry the clothing for her.
