Chapter 487 Embroidery (1)_1
Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin, following Situ Xin’s gesture, pushed open the door of the study and walked in. Situ Xin followed them shortly after.
As soon as Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin entered the study, they were captivated by the various evening gowns hanging there. "Oh my God, they’re so beautiful." Yu Shiyin was instantly attracted to the gifts in the room, involuntarily exclaiming as she carefully reached out to touch an improved cheongsam evening gown, the hem of which was embroidered with lifelike peonies that blossomed upward.
"It is beautiful. I’ve never seen such pretty clothes before, especially the embroidery; it’s just so exquisite." Lu Juan also approached a gown embroidered with butterflies and reached out to touch the stitching. The Lu Family, an aristocratic family with a long history in commerce, placed great value on heirlooms passed down by ancestors. Embroidery, although a skill that had been lost by Lu Juan’s generation, with nobody in the family remaining who could do it, was still preserved in the family as precious pieces handed down from the ancestors for the younger generations to admire.
Lu Juan had seen those pieces of embroidery from the Lu Family ancestries when she was little, and she had fallen in love with the beautiful work. Unknowing and insistent at the time, she had even bothered her parents to turn those exquisitely embroidered fabrics into pretty clothes. For that, she got a spanking from her father.
Lu Juan, feeling the embroidery on the clothes in front of her, marveled inwardly at how it was even more exquisite than the pieces treasured by the Lu Family. If she weren’t still rational, knowing that these gowns were to be used for the BL Fashion Week, she would have been tempted to drape them over herself without hesitation.
"Baby, when will you make me a dress with embroidery too?" Lu Juan approached Situ Xin directly with a pleading look on her face.
"Alright, once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll make you one." In fact, Situ Xin had already planned to make such embroidered clothes for her family after she was done with the current workload. Now that Lu Juan mentioned it, Situ Xin generously agreed.
"Xiao Xin, could you teach me how to embroider?" Yu Shiyin’s heart was also set on possessing a gorgeously embroidered gown, but since she had no actual kinship with Situ Xin, and she owed her current lifestyle to Situ Xin’s fortune, she couldn’t just ask for one like Lu Juan. However, she was very interested in the embroidery itself, so she ventured to ask.
Yu Shiyin was very nervous when she spoke to Situ Xin about wanting to learn the craft because she could tell that Situ Xin’s embroidery skills were of a nearly lost art. Such knowledge was usually passed down within the family, not to outsiders. After she asked, she felt a bit of regret.
"You want to learn?" Situ Xin was surprised to hear that Yu Shiyin wanted to learn embroidery, so she was quite taken aback initially.
