Chapter 262 Cloak Style
Chapter 262 Cloak Style
It has to be said that Li Zhengde knew Li Mingxia best. As soon as he saw Li Mingxia's expression, he knew that his sister must have thought of some good idea.
"Don't worry, mom is right. There is no evidence to prove that Li Zhengzhan must have done it. Tomorrow, my brother and I will go meet Li Zhengzhan. I will test him and find out what is going on." Li Mingxia lowered his voice and said to Li Zhengde.
Li Zhengde immediately understood that his elder sister did not want Li Sanlang and Zhang to know their plan for the time being.
"Okay, then let's make plans tomorrow when I come back from school." Li Zhengde also lowered his voice.
After Li Mingxia made up her mind about this matter, she stopped discussing it. "Mom, after dinner, Zhengde wants to teach the two little girls to write a few words. This room is warm, so let's stay in this room. I can draw the pattern of the clothes for you."
Zhang's attention was quickly diverted. She nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of clothes you saw that made you so obsessed. Is it difficult? I'm afraid I can't make it."
The two little girls had long been thinking about the little cloak that Li Mingxia mentioned. When they heard Zhang say that they didn't know if it could be made, they immediately went over and said, "Yes! Mom can make anything! Definitely!"
"That's right, mom is the best! Mom makes the most beautiful clothes! I can definitely make it!"
The two little girls hugged Zhang's arms, one on the left and one on the right. After receiving a series of compliments, Zhang no longer said anything that she was afraid of not being able to do it.
"Okay, okay, Mom will definitely do it!" Zhang liked this sweet "burden" very much and agreed repeatedly.
"Oh! Oh! I knew it, mom is the best!" The two little girls were very happy after getting the answers they wanted.
Li Mingxia took this opportunity to say, "Don't be too happy, you two. You asked your brother to teach you how to write. Your brother agreed. If you can't learn well, even if your mother makes new clothes, I won't let you wear them. Do you hear me?"
The two little girls originally wanted to learn to read, and Li Mingxia's request was not difficult for them, so they agreed immediately.
After eating the hot pot, Li Zhengpin and Li Sanlang did not let others move. After they cleaned up the table, they began to deliver charcoal braziers to everyone's room and watched as they smoked the house.
"Brother, I'll come to help you in a moment!" Li Mingxia said.
Li Zhengpin waved his hand, "Dad and I will do this job, you and mom should go get them some new clothes, we don't need you."
Li Mingxia saw that the two of them quickly cleared the things on the table, and knowing that they would not be able to use them, he did not insist.
Li Mingxia drew the cloak style he liked. On the basis of the original style of the dynasty, Li Mingxia drew two "sleeves" inside the cloak for the arms to be inserted into.
"This way you won't be afraid of the cold when playing outside. Just put your hand out here and the rest of your body will be covered tightly to prevent wind from leaking in." Li Mingxia said, pointing to the pattern on the paper.
"And here, Mom, I also bought a lot of small pompoms, which can be nailed here with thread when the time comes." Li Mingxia said, pointing to the place where the straps were tied at the collar.
Zhang looked at the pattern on the paper carefully, and an image of two little girls wearing cloaks appeared in her mind.
Zhang couldn't help but look at Li Mingxia. Her eldest daughter was so beautiful. She would look so beautiful if she wore a bright red cloak.
"And here, mother, you can sew a few pearls here. Use red fabric. It's winter, and red looks warm. Do you want to make one for Zhengde as well? But you can't use red fabric for Zhengde. Stone blue is fine. Here, mother, how about embroidering two cats on the cloaks of the two little girls? And here, what I'm thinking is..."
Li Mingxia sat on the kang, pointing at the cloak pattern on the paper and talking to Zhang, but his voice was very low and did not affect the three siblings' learning to read.
After explaining to Zhang what exactly needed to be done, Li Mingxia felt relieved. She had seen Zhang's needlework before, so she was not worried at all.
Zhang also felt that this cloak was not difficult to make, and was very simple compared to other clothes. As long as she didn't do anything else and focused on making clothes, she could probably make one in a day.
"Mom, you have such a deft hand. It will definitely look great when you make it. The two little girls will be so happy." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
Zhang tapped Li Mingxia's forehead and decided to open the closet and start looking for fabric tomorrow.
"How's the teaching going? Are you two serious about it?" Li Mingxia looked at the happy faces of the three siblings and knew that Li Zhengde was quite satisfied with Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong.
"Sister, we are serious. Just now the little brother said that we are smart." Li Mingqiu raised his head and looked at Li Mingxia seriously.
Li Mingdong also said: "Yes, we have all learned ten words!"
Ten words? They really learned it very quickly. The two little girls must have been very focused.
"Yes, big sister, I feel that I learn much faster than my two younger sisters. If... then, hey..." Li Zhengde sighed, and in the end did not say what he wanted to say as he looked at the innocent faces of the two little girls.
But Li Mingxia still understood what Li Zhengde wanted to say.
It is true. If the two little girls were boys, Li Mingxia would definitely be preparing for them to go to school. Unfortunately, they are two little girls. No matter how smart and studious they are, no school will accept them.
However, Li Zhengde's words also reminded Li Mingxia that the people of this dynasty were simple and honest. When one day he had accumulated enough wealth and had a certain say, could he also open a school for girls to attend?
Thinking of this, Li Mingxia's blood began to boil, but it was a pity that his current strength was too weak. No matter how many ideas he had in his mind, they were just thoughts and there could be no substantial progress.
But now that I have a goal in mind, I just need to work towards it. Li Mingxia didn't know why, but when he looked at his two younger sisters, he suddenly felt full of energy.
"Do you like learning to read?" Li Mingxia touched the little heads of his two sisters and asked in a low voice.
"I like it!" Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong said in unison.
