Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 112: The Phoenix Takes Flight

"Alright, take a look at yourself in the mirror."

After helping her put on the clothes, Yi Chichi pushed her in front of the mirror.

Yu Ritang’s room had a large wardrobe with a big mirror on the door, reflecting her entire body.

Pushed in front of the mirror, she raised her eyes for a look, and her whole face instantly turned red.

This... is this her?

The girl in the mirror was no longer the plain braided girl she used to be, but had instead changed into a loose bun with a hint of laziness.

The silver-red long dress she wore highlighted her skin as white as snow and showcased her graceful figure exquisitely...

No, she couldn’t keep looking, it felt so embarrassing.

She turned her head, wanting to find Yi Chichi, only to discover her staring with admiration, unsure if she was looking at the clothes or something else.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at your figure."

Yi Chichi, touching her chin like a rogue, said, "I always knew your proportions were good when measuring your size, but I didn’t expect the effect when you wore this to be this good."

Better than good.

The elegance she intended to showcase turned into sensuality; her figure could not only catch Yu Ritang’s partner’s heart but even hers.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have the tools for action.

"Try on the coat and see."

Handing the trench coat to her, Yu Ritang took it and put it on, buttoning it up and tying the belt, transforming from a sexy goddess into an elegant beauty.

The trench coat length reached the calf, perfectly overlapping with the edge of the skirt hem.

Silver-red intertwined with bright red, setting her ankle skin like new snow on the branches of winter’s red plum.

Breathtakingly beautiful and eye-catching.

"You could get married in this."

Yu Ritang never expected just adding one piece of clothing would suppress the vividness of the silver-red dress, instead creating a dignified and elegant beauty.

Yi Chichi hummed a response, "Actually, if you want, you can wear the inside piece alone for the wedding, just broaden the measurements a bit."

She made a national-style long dress, aiming for grandeur.

Wearing it alone is possible, just need to adjust the dimensions.

"Broaden?"

Imagining the scene, Yu Ritang shook her head quickly, "No, I like this style."

She had never worn clothes so fitting and slimming before; before wearing them, she didn’t know her figure was so good and looked this stunning.

If she hadn’t seen the effect before wearing, she might have agreed.

But now...

Patting her slightly heated cheeks, she whispered, "I want to wear this dress to show my partner."

The words were full of sweetness, her gaze having the unique sourness of a lovesick puppy.

Yi Chichi firmly denied being envious as she casually pulled out a new wedding gift for her from the bag.

"Made from leftover fabric to wear on the wedding night; guaranteed to mesmerize your partner entirely."

Is there such a good thing?

Curious, Yu Ritang took it and unfolded the fabric, finding two small pieces of clothing.

The style was very bold and daring, with exquisite embroidery.

Blooming, half-opened, blooming two or three petals, each unique shape of peach blossoms interconnected, forming a captivatingly seductive scene.

"The embroidery is so beautiful."

"Do you like it?"

"I like it."

Unhesitatingly and unequivocally.

However--

"I haven’t properly looked at the embroidery on the dress, need a good look."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly took off the trench coat and was dumbfounded. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Where’s my embroidery?"

Admittedly, the dress was beautiful, but the previous designs had embroidery.

Now the embroidery was gone; does it count as not matching the original design?

She turned to Yi Chichi, her smile disappearing.

"Walk a few steps and see again!"

Yi Chichi remained calm and told her to move and watch the effect.

Yu Ritang furrowed her brow, then obediently walked, her eyes glued to the mirror.

Then she saw the clouds spreading from her chest all the way to the hem, with phoenix head and feathers faintly visible within.

She turned her step and discovered the belated surprise.

It was not a complete phoenix; sparse, dazzling phoenix feathers and a complete phoenix head with interconnected clouds formed a vivid image of a phoenix soaring through clouds.

Her mind involuntarily elaborated a scene of the little phoenix frolicking among the clouds.

"Oh my, your composition is absolutely genius, even more stunning than the design on paper..."

Speaking with a conflicted look, "Such beautiful embroidery being obscured feels like such a waste!"

Yi Chichi made no comment.

Instead, with a smile, she suggested, "I think you should show your mother and Aunt Ma."

"I should."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she ran like a butterfly to the door, opened it, and poked her head out, calling Yu Mu and Aunt Ma inside.

Summoned, the two sisters cheerfully responded and ran over excitedly.

Left out, Yu Fu was jealous, asking sourly, "Young lady, can’t I look?"

"You can see it later, Dad."

After showing it to Mom and Aunt Ma, she would put the trench coat on to show Dad.

"Do I look good?"

As Yu Mu and Aunt Ma entered, Yu Ritang mischievously closed the door with a bang, then, like a three-year-old who found treasure, spun around displaying her clothes to her two sisters.

With a flower-like smile, phoenix dancing, stunning the sisters into silence, merely staring dumbly.

The world fell silent.

Not receiving feedback, Yu Ritang wilted like a frostbitten eggplant and threw a questioning glance towards Yi Chichi.

"Do I not look good?"

"You look fantastic; Auntie and Aunt Ma are just dazzled!"

Yi Chichi generously praised her with sincere tone.

Yu Ritang believed her words, waving her hand at Yu Mu and Aunt Ma.

"Mom, Aunt, the sun is up, time to wake up!"

The two sisters snapped out of their daze, their gaze once again sweeping over her face and clothes. After exchanging a glance, they couldn’t help but exclaim together.

"Did you see that, Aunt Ma? Did you see it?" Aunt Ma excitedly grabbed Yu Mu’s arm, whispering, "Our Tangtang just turned into a little phoenix flying, dear, it’s so beautiful! Especially when she smiled at me, I thought she was some celestial maiden."

"I saw it, I saw it."

Yu Mu was also excited but reacted promptly, worrying as she spoke, "Tang, you can’t wear this on your wedding day."

Too eye-catching.

"I can."

She donned the trench coat once more, spinning around showing off again.

"I made two pieces; does it look less eye-catching like this?"

Still eye-catching.

After all, in this era, clothes were mainly gray, white, black, blue, and green. Those that were bright yellow, floral, or bright red were rare due to low production, requiring people to scramble for them.

This also resulted in fewer people wearing bright clothes on the street.

But brides wearing red were not unusual.

Moreover, the trench coat was properly cut, with all buttons fastened tightly covering the entire body securely.
