All Hail Cousin Brother Chapter 120 – 120 Another Demon Child

120 Another Demon Child

Yu Youyao looked at them one by one.

After taking a closer look at the style and colors, she was worried that there would be something inappropriate. If the young misses in the residence were to wear it out, they would lose their composure and etiquette. It would be a small matter if they were made a fool of. However, if they lacked etiquette, it would be a disaster.

Immediately after, Yu Youyao saw a loose-fitting shirt with a round collar and large sleeves. There was a seam at the knee of the dress, and a pleated skirt at the bottom. The loose-fitting shirt was made of snow satin, but it didn’t even have a pattern. However, it looked simple and elegant.

Yu Youyao could imagine how elegant and beautiful this set of clothes would look on her. When she moved, there would be a row of pleats at the bottom, gently rolling in the wind like a flower swaying. How elegant and beautiful would that look?

Among all the dresses, this one was particularly eye-catching.

Yu Youyao turned to look at Manager Sun, who quickly said, “This was made by the Third Miss of the residence herself. She also made the design herself.”

Yu Youyao nodded slightly. “According to the ‘Records of the Great Court’ of the previous dynasty, the tunic was made of thin white cloth, with a round collar and large sleeves. Below it was a horizontal robe as an outer garment. At the waist, there was a layer of silk. The scholars and the students of the state and county had to wear it.”

Manager Sun was stunned. He couldn’t help but take a closer look at the clothes. Although these clothes were a little different from the description, he could roughly see many similarities.

At this point, Yu Youyao’s tone changed slightly, revealing a hint of warmth and indifference. “When it came to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was no longer popular. Students and scholars all liked to wear long and deep clothes, but the tradition of wearing the lanshan had not been abolished. Furthermore, on some important occasions, such as the memorial ceremony of the countryside school, the students’ celebration, and the worship of the Confucius Temple, all of them had to wear lanshans to show their respect to Confucius. Is this a precedent?”

When Manager Sun heard this, even his body trembled. He hurriedly said, “It’s all because of the Jinxiu Manor’s negligence. I didn’t expect that the style of this outfit would be made according to the style of the lanshan. The lanshan was not very popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. I only saw that Third Miss looked good, but I almost made a mistake.”

There were also some clothes in the books that looked like the lanshan, but most of them were men’s clothes and were a little different from the real thing. How could the tailors who made the clothes know how to do this? They just followed the looks.

Unexpectedly, when the clothes were made, they looked just like a lanshan.

The Yu Residence was an official’s residence, so they had to be even more careful with their words and actions. A lanshan was nothing much, but if news of this were to spread, it would be inevitable that someone with ulterior motives would take the opportunity to attack the Yu Residence. It would be disrespectful to wear a lanshan.

The Yu Residence was a scholarly family, and they respected Confucius. If word got out that they didn’t respect Confucius, it would really stir up a hornet’s nest for all the scholars in the world.

Just this outfit alone could destroy the scholarly reputation that the Yu Clan had accumulated for generations.

At that time, Jinxiu Manor would also be implicated.

Yu Youyao’s voice became a little calmer. “Every dynasty has extremely strict clothes-making etiquette. If there’s a mistake in the clothes, it’ll be too serious. Even if this lanshan isn’t part of the popular culture, there’s still the etiquette of wearing it. It’s very important. Third Sister is raised in her own room, so she doesn’t know about this. Jinxiu Manor is an old embroidery house that the Yu Residence uses. It’s a place where everything is new and unique. It also has the mentality of a business. Even the Yu Residence feels that the clothes in Jinxiu Manor are new, so they’ve been using it all this time. However, we have to be careful.”

Although Yu Jianjia did not fight for it, she had to be different in every way, so she wanted to make clothes that looked like a lanshan. Lanshans were not popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Confucian school did not have a clear rule that a lanshan was important.

It made sense that Yu Jianjia did not know about this.

Manager Sun’s face turned pale. Other than agreeing repeatedly, she could not say anything else.

Eldest Miss Yu was a formidable person. Her words just now were clear and logical, but she understood the severity of it.

The Third Miss had been raised in ignorance, but the Jinxiu Manor had not been cautious. With just a few words, they had removed the Third Miss from the painting, and the wrong ones had become the Jinxiu Manor.

At such a young age, she already had such knowledge, breadth of mind, and methods.

At the thought of Yu Jianjia, Yu Youyao softened her tone. “This lanshan has to be modified. The round collar will be made into a fashionable round collar. The wide sleeves will remain the same, and the cross between the knees will be moved down a little. The missing material will come from me. Remember to be more cautious in the future.”

Manager Sun heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Thank you, Eldest Miss.”

Although it was Third Miss Yu who had requested for the garment to be made, the stakes involved were the fault of the Jinxiu Manor. Now that the material had been damaged, it was time for the Jinxiu Manor to compensate.

She was the one who had handled the clothes of the Yu Residence, so this responsibility had fallen on her shoulders. Even the Jinxiu Manor had to be calculative, so she probably wouldn’t be able to keep her position as the shopkeeper.

Since Eldest Miss Yu was willing to come up with something herself, even if she did not pursue this matter anymore, she did not have to take responsibility and let others catch her red-handed.

No wonder everyone in the Yu Residence said that Eldest Miss Yu was kind.

Yu Youyao looked at the other clothes one by one. Other than this lanshan, there was nothing wrong with the other clothes. She nodded in satisfaction. “The Jinxiu Manor lives up to its reputation.”

As soon as she said this, Manager Sun finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Eldest Miss, you flatter me. The Jinxiu Manor will definitely work harder on the remaining clothes. Even if we have to push aside the other residences’ requests, we have to make the Yu Residence’s clothes first.”

Yu Youyao smiled and asked Xia Tao to give her the silver. “Thank you, Manager Sun.”

Manager Sun weighed her wallet lightly and her smile deepened. She was about to make a trip to the second house when Yu Youyao said, “It’s getting late. Manager Sun, you should go back first. I’ll make the arrangements to send the clothes to the second house. If there are any problems, I’ll get someone to send them back to the Jinxiu Manor to be changed.”

Manager Sun thanked her profusely.

It was indeed not appropriate to go to the second house now, but since the clothes had already been delivered, there was no reason to take them back. Even if they had made the clothes together, there was no reason to give them to the first house first.

Eldest Miss’s suggestion was very considerate.

After Manager Sun left, Yu Youyao looked at a few more sets of clothes. After confirming that there were no problems, she got someone to send the clothes to the second house. She then pointed at a pomegranate dress. “Send it to Fourth Sister.”

Qiu Xing hurriedly took the clothes and went to the Hanlu Courtyard.

After being taught a lesson by her father, Yu Qingning had become more well-behaved recently.

At this moment, Yu Qingning was carrying five books and learning to walk in the courtyard. She no longer fell all the time like before, but the books on her head were not allowed to fall. Every time they fell, she would be punished with an incense stick.

She had been walking for two hours straight. The blisters on the soles of her feet had yet to heal, but new ones had already appeared. Her legs were sore and numb, and her stomach and legs were trembling.

At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside. Yu Qingning tilted her head to listen. “Jinxiu Manor has sent a set of clothes over. Eldest Miss asked me to bring it over for Fourth Miss quickly.”
