Chapter 487: 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.

"Yes, I’m really interested in embroidery, but if it’s inconvenient, never mind." Yu Shiyin quickly added after a pause.

"There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Since you want to learn, of course, I’m willing to teach you. However, I must make it clear that embroidery isn’t something that can be learned in just a day or two. It requires patience. If you have that patience and the determination to keep at it, I’m willing to teach you. If you give up after just a few days, it’s better to let me know early on. I don’t want to waste time," Situ Xin responded quite the opposite of what Yu Shiyin had imagined, feeling pleased that someone wanted to learn embroidery. Her skills were of a dying breed, and she was more than happy to pass them on now that an opportunity had presented itself.

"I’m willing, Xiao Xin. Rest assured, I won’t give up halfway." Yu Shiyin showed a delighted expression upon hearing Situ Xin’s agreement to teach her.

Lu Juan, too, was quite interested in embroidery. Hearing Yu Shiyin talking about learning from Situ Xin made Lu Juan itch to join in, but thinking about her current workload gave her pause.

"Auntie, I’ll allow you to sit in while I teach Sister Shiyin," said Situ Xin upon noticing Lu Juan’s expression, knowing full well that Lu Juan’s busyness was her fault for being too lazy and dumping all the work on Lu Juan.

Previously, she had considered giving some of her company’s shares to Lu Juan, but she was refused. Lu Juan insisted that the company’s startup capital, and its rapid development, were largely due to Situ Xin’s contributions and designs.

So, there was no way she could accept Situ Xin’s shares.

"Really? That’s great. If I have time, I will definitely join Shiyin for class. Hehe, once I learn, I’ll show off to my mom." Lu Juan spoke with a touch of excitement.

Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin’s attention was quickly shifted from Situ Xin’s designed clothes to learning embroidery. They didn’t linger long in Situ Xin’s study and soon followed her out.

While walking out, they eagerly discussed the subject of embroidery. If it weren’t for the embroidery taking their attention, Situ Xin was certain the two would have been happy to spend half the day in her study and not want to come out.

"Oh, right, Baby, I came today to tell you we need to leave early for BL," Lu Juan mentioned after they discussed for a while, recalling the main reason for her visit. "As you know, setting up a fashion show takes a lot of preparation. I’ve taken care of some minor things for you, but there are some tasks you need to handle yourself." Lu Juan explained the reason for departing early for BL, concerned that her young mistress might be too lazy.

"I know about it; I’ve already asked for leave in advance from our class advisor," Situ Xin said. After deciding to participate in BL Fashion Week, she had meticulously gone through the list of things to prepare, so she had already made the necessary preparations for leaving early for BL.
