Chapter 1688: Li Qingcang Was Amazed by Tianxin!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Qingcang visited the retired master three times to invite him to return.
Li Qingcang’s sincerity finally convinced the old master to come back and make wedding clothes for Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin.
However, because the master was old, the dress still took nearly a year to make, even with the help of his apprentices.
“Tianxin, Qingcang is so nice to you.”
Qie Yiyan was rather moved when Yan Ge told him about Li Qingcang’s design for the dress.
Among all of them, only Li Qingcang treated love so innocently.
His sincere and pure heart really moved and envied them.
Li Qingcang said, “Drive carefully.”
Qie Yiyan snorted. “Fine. I’ll let the matter go, but only because you’re the groom.”
Li Qingcang bluntly told Qie Yiyan, “You can also get married if you want, you know.”
Qie Yiyan wiggled his index finger in the air. Well, you’re good.
The car stopped in front of a century-old shop, and Li Qingcang helped Ye Tianxin get out of the car.
There were no other customers in the shop today.
This, of course, was also for Ye Tianxin’s safety.
“Master Zhu, you’ve been working so hard.”
Master Zhu shook his head and said, “Well, I must thank you for allowing me to exchange skills with someone who knows about Jiameng embroidery.”
Grandma smiled softly and said, “Mr. Zhu, I’m embarrassed by your praise.”
“The folk craftsmanship can only be improved through competition and research.”
Grandma and Master Zhu thought the same way. They both started honing their skills when they were very young.
Their paths in life were also somewhat similar, so they naturally got along so well.
Ye Tianxin then said, “Grandma.”
Grandma stretched out her hands and smiled kindly. She said, “My little Tianxin is about to get married.”
“Grandma.”
Ye Tianxin looked bashful based on her facial expression.
Grandma said, “You’re shy. Let’s go, I will show you your wedding dress.”
Both Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang’s wedding clothes were made with the traditional red fabric, with colored silk threads embroidered onto the clothes in beautiful lifelike patterns.
Ye Tianxin said, “It’s so beautiful.”
Master Zhu, who made the dress, said, “Of course, these are the national treasures. Some people nowadays who only regard foreign clothing as high-end goods. Our ancestors’ stuff is so much more sophisticated than theirs!”
Ye Tianxin pursed her lips and nodded when she heard Master Zhu.
It was true. Some people just worshiped all things foreign.
They thought everything foreign was good, but those same people also forgot that traditional things were the best.
Grandma began to say, “Master Zhu, that’s not true. Everything runs on machines nowadays, even embroidery...”
Master Zhu said with a nod, “Yes. People are becoming lazy nowadays. One day, they’ll end up losing everything that our ancestors had left behind for them.”
“No, they won’t,” Ye Tianxin said to Master Zhu, “No, they won’t. Look at how many people are studying in my grandma’s embroidery school. They’re keeping it alive.”
One day these students would be scattered all over the place and the Jiameng embroidery would be inherited and promoted between generations.
“True, but it is hard to learn embroidery. Not many people would want to learn it nowadays.”
“All right, that’s enough. Let’s try on the dress first.”
Ye Tianxin’s dress consisted of eight layers.
Ye Tianxin didn’t know how to wear it at all. Fortunately, she had her grandma and others to help.
Ye Tianxin was stunned when she turned around in the dress and looked at herself in the mirror.
