"So, the Chinese and the Western blend," Shi Yi looked down at his dress. "No wonder, all the clothes you send are very special, but also exquisite and scary, unlike ordinary dresses."
Soon after Uncle Lin knocked, someone opened the door.
Seeing that it was Uncle Lin, they all called out respectfully, but didn't recognize Zhou Shengchen.
They followed into the yard, but it was not big. Bluestone floor carvings, stone gate towers, the floors are not high, and they are all hidden in the trees. Fortunately, retro wall lamps have long been used instead of lanterns, otherwise Shiyi would really suspect that a woman in red would walk out of a certain place.
Shi Yi said softly: "This kind of courtyard is also like an old house in Jiangnan."
Zhou Shengchen said: "You mean, my ancestral home is not like it?"
Shi Yi shook his head: "Your house is too big, I can't even count the number of entries."
He nodded: "Sounds like a nouveau riche?"
She shook her head and said solemnly: "It's not a nouveau riche, it's like a filming location for ghost films in Hong Kong movies."
He shook his head and laughed: "There are no people living there, and only when they worship their ancestors do they go back."
"Usually someone takes care of it?"
"Every generation will have them, basically the oldest housekeepers go to provide for the elderly," he said, "half to take care of them, half to support them." As they said, the old mother who came to pick them up had already lifted the soft curtain of embroidery thread. "Mr. Lin, sit here first. I'll call my wife to come." Lin Shu nodded: "Tell my wife that today is the righteous man. You have to choose the clothes yourself."
The old mother answered, and someone would bring tea soon.
Shi Yigang and Zhou Shengchen picked up the tea cups. Before they could take a sip, they saw two men and two women coming. Except for an elderly mother-in-law, the remaining three were all young people. Two men, one in a long gown, the other in a suit and leather shoes, did not know that they thought they were on the set of a certain Republic of China movie. It's a girl, wearing a simple long T-shirt dress and holding a picture album in her hand, which is quite normal.
Only in that era can we see such a mixture of Chinese and Western clothes.
Shi Yi was a little stunned, the eyes in the robe swept away, and fell on Shi Yi: "I guess, this must be Miss Shi Yi." The girl laughed, "Nonsense, only this is a girl, of course it is her. Here, second brother, she is wearing the style of your fight, this time the second brother won."
"You three," the old woman smiled and waved, "respect the guests."
The old woman came over and saw that Uncle Lin was standing on one side, she probably understood Zhou Shengchen’s identity, and nodded with a smile: "Master, I saw you when you were four years old. After so many years, I have made a lot of clothes for you. , But I haven't seen anyone. I didn't expect to see you again. I brought the bride."
Zhou Shengchen wanted to get up, but the old woman took a seat first: "Mother-in-law, my legs are not good, so I have no rules and sit down."
"Mother-in-law, please," he didn't care much. "Sorry for coming so late."
"It's okay, you're a busy person, a scientist," the old woman admired watching him, and said with a smile, "The Zhou family, they are much smarter. So are the older generations, and so are the younger generations."
They talked for a while, and the old woman began to look carefully at the times.
Although Zhou Shengchen had given some sizes earlier, he was not as good as seeing a real person. After all, the clothes had to match people, not only the size, but even the appearance and temperament. After making clothes for a lifetime, it’s really hard to meet Shiyi who is so good in figure and appearance. Naturally, he rejoices. Not only the old women, but those of the grandchildren, also look like treasures, and look at Shiyi’s look like looking at treasures.
I re-measured the size, because it was a girl now. Naturally, the girl in casual clothes was close to her, whispering to her the subtle details of the clothes, and even when it came to rise, he brought in various colors and suggestions one by one.
"It's time, your legs are so long," the girl sighed, "I remember that I had a cousin who was admitted to a dance school and asked that her legs must be 14 cm longer than her upper body. You are probably 2 cm faster than the standard."
She smiled.
From beginning to end, no one really sat down except the mother-in-law with inconvenient legs.
It seems that they all respect Zhou Shengchen.
During the whole process, Zhou Shengchen sat quietly aside.
Very patient. He didn't read a book, and occasionally said a few words with the old woman, and expressed his opinion in the inquiries of several young designers. When I left, it was already two hours later.
It’s not far from Zhenjiang, and it is time to think that she will probably stay in Zhenjiang for one night.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shengchen insisted on sending her back to Shanghai.
When he saw the lights in her room turned on, he sat back in the car.
If it's not an extraordinary period, he doesn't want to travel such a long distance and send her back.
He suddenly said: "I hope she will be safe all the time."
Lin Shu nodded: "Don't worry, young master, now Zhou Sheng's family are waiting for the engagement day. Before this, Miss Shi Yi will not have anything to do, otherwise, everyone will doubt Zhou Shengxing, he will not make such bad decisions."
Zhou Shengxing has been in power for more than 20 years, with careful thoughts and deep calculations.
He really wouldn't do it.
When Zhou Shengchen waited until the light in her bathroom went out and the light in the bedroom turned on, he habitually glanced at his watch.
This time it took 38 minutes. So... the time she is used to should be between 25-38 minutes.
Uncle Lin continued: "Zhou Sheng's family rules are strict, no one dares to break. The eldest master relaxes his heart, Zhou Shengxing dare not deny power."
He put his hand on the edge of the car window and said, "Let's go."
There are no lights in the car, only moonlight shines through the car windows.
very quiet.
Uncle Lin drove the car on the road and drove steadily, "Why did the young master suddenly want to reverse the situation? Adversity in attracting capital and supporting the Jiangnan economy." Zhou Shengchen was tired, speaking slowly, "Within five to ten years, China no longer has the cheapest labor in the world, and inland manufacturing plants are closing one after another. Made in China will become made in Cambodia and made in Vietnam. The huge unemployed population will cause a huge impact, and it must be buffered in advance."
Uncle Lin was silent.
This young master is different from others.
From the time he entered university at the age of fourteen, he was destined to be different from others. 5-10 years of adversity investment requires huge connections and funds. Today, only the foreign surname and a group of staff are present for Zhou Shengchen, but such a long-term project requires his real support, and this move will inevitably violate Zhou Sheng's family rule of not being in business.
If there was no uncle Zhou Shengxing, perhaps, it would be simpler.
Shi Yi thought that he would return to Zhenjiang by day as before and come back late at night. Unexpectedly, she came back from the hotel gym near the apartment the next morning. Zhou Shengchen was already waiting downstairs. She was a little surprised, but he said, "I'll accompany you to breakfast." At 7 o'clock in the morning, someone who appeared suddenly said that he would accompany you to breakfast.
She suddenly felt that this kind of scene was very much like those young men and women who appeared downstairs in the dormitory and at the school cafeteria when they were studying.
Unfortunately, she has already eaten it.
But he was still hungry.
