"Shuangshuang, are you going to make clothes for the three kids?"
Ah Ru, seeing Mu Shuangshuang had bought so much fabric, couldn’t make up her mind whether she should help make clothes herself, considering the cost of handmade clothes was not insignificant.
"Yes, I need to. Just follow the style we discussed earlier, one set for each person. I assume you won’t finish them quickly, and I can wait."
Mu Shuangshuang felt the clothes made by herself were quite different from those made by the fabric shop, whether it was the embroidery or the choice of material and craftsmanship. The clothes made at home focused on comfort, while those made outside emphasized aesthetics, though comfort was also important.
Besides, since she had already spent so much silver, she didn’t mind spending a bit more.
The three children were very obedient, standing aside waiting for Ah Ru to help measure their sizes.
"Alright, let’s agree that if I’ve made the clothes by the next time you come, you’ll take them with you."
Ah Ru agreed while taking out the store’s measuring tape, carefully measuring and noting down the sizes, knowing Mu Shuangshuang would still make clothes at home, she deliberately noted the measurements for Mu Shuangshuang to take with her.
As she was about to put away the tape, Mu Shuangshuang quickly spoke up. "Ah Ru, can you help measure Fengzi as well?"
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t think a man could make clothes anyway, since Yu Si Niang at home would make clothes for a few of them, it would be better to include him at once, saving on handiwork costs.
Ah Ru glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, her face instantly turned red.
"My mother is not here, and I’m an unmarried girl, so it’s inappropriate for me to measure him. Shuangshuang, why don’t you wait for my mother to come back to measure?"
Mu Shuangshuang thought measuring next time would be troublesome, and didn’t know when that would be.
So she stepped forward, picked up the measuring tape, and said to Ah Ru and Lu Yuanfeng, "Let me measure Fengzi!"
"But you also..." Ah Ru hesitated and said.
"It’s okay, I’m young, and besides, if you don’t say anything, he doesn’t say anything, who would know?"
With Mu Shuangshuang’s approval, Lu Yuanfeng’s opinion could be overlooked.
Due to the height difference, Mu Shuangshuang had Ah Ru find a stool, and she stood on it to help measure.
Measuring requires measuring shoulder width, waist circumference, and front chest, actually quite similar to choosing clothes online nowadays; in any case, you need to know what size of clothes you wear.
When measuring the shoulders it was fine, Lu Yuanfeng cooperated well, but at the waist, Mu Shuangshuang clearly felt Lu Yuanfeng’s body stiffen a bit.
Lu Yuanfeng suddenly remembered the evening when he and Shuangshuang were catching frogs, the scene when he angrily carried Shuangshuang away; she kept struggling on his shoulder, soft little hands pounding his back...
Lu Yuanfeng felt extremely thirsty, his throat seemed to be scorched by fire, and he kept swallowing hard.
Lu Yuanfeng bowed his head, gazing at Shuangshuang who was close to him, small and thin. From his angle, he could only see the top of her head with silky black hair and her constantly moving shoulders. He suddenly wanted to reach out and touch Shuangshuang’s hair.
Would it be just as smooth as imagined, like silk?
In fact, he really stretched out his hand, but before he could touch her hair, Shuangshuang already looked up, looking dazedly at Lu Yuanfeng, seemingly not understanding why Lu Yuanfeng raised his hand halfway.
"It’s nothing, nothing..." Probably too guilty, Lu Yuanfeng began to explain.
Mu Shuangshuang thought he was a bit nervous, but in her heart, she was somewhat shocked. When she suddenly looked up, she saw something deep and indistinguishable in Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes along with inexplicable expectation.
Maybe, she was mistaken, Mu Shuangshuang comforted herself.
When measuring the chest, both faces turned slightly red and hearts raced, finally finishing the measurements with both covered in sweat.
"Thank you, thank you!" Ah Ru giggled, addressing the two who had just separated.
Lu Yuanfeng took this chance to pull out one silver tael plus 219 copper coins from his money pouch and handed them to Ah Ru.
When Lu Yuanfeng went out, he carried the pigskin pouch Mu Shuangshuang made for him, and although no one around him had seen it before, Lu Yuanfeng already received several curious glances.
Seeing Lu Yuanfeng about to pay the silver, Mu Shuangshuang naturally wouldn’t agree, since her clothes were the main expense, it should be her who paid.
So Mu Shuangshuang also took out a little more than one tael of silver.
"Ah Ru, don’t take his; I’ll pay the silver today, since I’m the one who suggested coming shopping." Mu Shuangshuang rushed to explain.
