Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yuehuan pulled out a book from the stack she was holding and handed it to Yueyao, saying, "Third Sister, this is the clothing design I’ve drawn. My drawing skills aren’t great, and I can’t produce the result I want, but I’ve included detailed explanations. With your excellent drawing skills, if you redraw it according to my instructions, it will look much more beautiful." Yuehuan had only a basic knowledge of comics combined with a few days of learning traditional painting from a teacher, and these skills weren’t enough to bring the ideas in her mind to life, so she resorted to this cumbersome method.

Yueyao knew that Yuehuan had many novel ideas. She wasn’t pretentious and took the book straightaway, "In addition to the Ready-to-Wear Shop, my cousin-in-law is also planning to open a Cosmetic Shop. If you have any good ideas, you can tell me." Then, frowning, she added, "Never mind, if my cousin-in-law’s shop comes out with something new, they will definitely suspect you."

Yuehuan shared this concern; she had been working on cosmetics, and any new product would surely arouse suspicion towards her. Yuehuan apologized and said, "Third Sister, I can’t give you more in terms of cosmetic products, but if there’s anything else good, I will tell you. Also, I will draw more clothing styles for you."

Yueyao said with a smile, "Alright. Don’t worry, I won’t let you work in vain. I’ll give you a tenth of the clothes’ price for each design. How does that sound?"

Initially, Yuehuan wanted to decline but seeing Yueyao’s expression, she understood that Yueyao wasn’t one to take advantage of others. If she refused, Yueyao might not want her things in the future, "Let’s do as you suggest, Third Sister. Whether it’s the clothing store or the cosmetic shop, every shop needs its own unique features. Without unique features, it’s impossible to make money."

Yueyao laughed, "That’s also what my cousin-in-law thinks. Yuehuan, you have a wide range of knowledge; if you have any good suggestions, tell me."

Yuehuan shouldn’t stay in Lanxi Courtyard too long, so she stood up and said, "Third Sister, I will think it over carefully when I return, and when I’ve thought it through, I’ll have Hong Ling give the things to Ruo Xiao. Do you think that’s appropriate?"

Yuehuan visited Lanxi Courtyard every so often, even if Yueyao wasn’t there, she would come to borrow books. Lady Mo and Maternal Aunt Su never suspected anything, because on the surface, Yueyao and Yuehuan didn’t get along well.

Before leaving, Yuehuan thought for a moment and then said, "Third Sister, I hope you won’t let others know that these clothes are my doing, okay?" To say they were her designs, she felt ashamed.
