Chapter 94 Let’s invite the sun and moon to shine together, look at the stars and move forward hand in hand

"An Ji, go out." After waking up in the morning, Sheng Xia called An Ji downstairs not long after he got up.

After hanging up the phone, An Ji raised his eyes and looked out of the window. Sure enough, he saw Sheng Xia's figure. He picked up the things he had prepared and stood up to go out.

"Going to find Sheng Xia?" When An Ji came out of the house, He Yanqing was busy cleaning up everything that was messed up at home. While putting things back in place, he also packed up all the useless things and prepared to clean them out.

Seeing that An Ji had already walked to the door to put on his shoes, picked up the bag on the hook and was about to leave, He Yanqing wiped his hands with the rag in his hand and turned around: "I'll pick you up in midsummer. Why don't you ask someone to come in and sit down?"

sit?"

An Ji still lowered his head to check whether he had everything he needed in the bag, and replied without raising his head: "No, she has something to do today, we have to go there quickly."

"Okay, you should pay attention to your own safety. Don't lose your things and don't be deceived." After receiving the reply, He Yanqing immediately returned to his previous work and wiped the cabinet not far from An Ji.

, "Nowadays, it is often said on the Internet that there are people who take advantage of other people's good intentions to deceive and abduct people. You and Shengxia should be careful."

"Mom, I'm not a teenager anymore. Don't worry. Shengxia and I are old enough to know how to protect ourselves." An Ji knew that his mother was really worried about something going wrong in her life, but she was just overly worried a lot of the time.

, so that you ignore your real needs.

Now He Yanqing was dissatisfied. He threw the rag in his hand on the table, looked at An Ji and said sternly: "You know you are not young, and you are not deceived when you are old? It's better to be careful, two girls.

As a family, there is no guarantee that there will be bad people worrying about you."

"Your attitude is not good. You don't know how to be careful. How can you ensure that nothing will happen?" He Yanqing couldn't stand the way his daughter didn't care about anything. Nowadays, no matter how stable the social security is, there are still bad people. Why don't you know more about it?

Notice?

"Mom, I know, don't worry, Shengxia and I know to be careful." An Ji said, leaning half of his body out of the house, "I'll leave first, let me know on WeChat if you need anything."

"Go ahead, go ahead." He Yanqing just felt that his daughter was really making people anxious, and she was so perfunctory that she couldn't listen to anything she said, "It really doesn't make people worry."

As soon as he met Shengxia, An Ji was immediately aware of what he had just experienced. Unfortunately, the former had no intention of comforting him at all. Instead, he laughed out loud: "Can't you just talk to Aunt He? Why do you have to talk to her every time you go out?

Are you arguing with Aunt He?"

Listening to what Shengxia said, the helplessness on An Ji's face became even worse: "My mother is always overly worried. I know she is doing it for my own good, but sometimes she really goes too far..."

Obviously, An Ji didn't know that these instructions when he went out were also his mother's excessive worries when he was doing things - times are changing, and many past experiences may not be applicable now. If people of his generation cannot let go and have a try,

, is it going to remain stagnant?

"Okay, okay, don't think about it anymore, just accompany me to do things wholeheartedly, and then we can think of a solution when we have some free time."

As Shengxia spoke, she had already driven out of An Ji's community. For the sake of driving safety, the two of them remained silent along the way. The former drove the car quietly, while the latter simply started to watch short videos.

"This is a thought, just..." Looking at the design in the video, An Ji couldn't help but be speechless. It seemed that he had not understood the culture behind it, and the design was made based on his own professionalism, but it was only in form but not in spirit.

"What did you send me again?" Shengxia drove the car and listened to the sound of a message on her phone. She didn't ask the question until she stopped the car and picked up the phone, "Why don't you @ me directly? Download and send them all."

, it just shows that you have a lot of traffic, right?"

"It might not be appropriate to discuss it directly in other people's comment area." Thinking about his complaints, An Ji seemed to have seen how he would be criticized if he posted them.

Although there was no shortage of disdain on his lips, Shengxia's hands and eyes did not stop. He opened An Jifa's video and sighed: "Nowadays, these young people do things too superficially. This kind of design is too straightforward and difficult to wear."

It looks good, and for those who are willing to buy it as a dress, there should be many choices that are more suitable for them.”

"It's good to try, but without innovation and derivatives that combine the values ​​of the times, it will only let people see the old-fashioned side of culture, and the end result may be more than worth the loss." After watching the video, Shengxia couldn't help but sigh, "If we could understand more about the behind-the-scenes

Culture, his creation may be much better."

Seeing that his best friend coincided with him, An Ji gave the former a "you know me" look, but also teased: "Young man? How old are you? The designer in the video is better than us

Two years older."

Sheng Xia was embarrassed, and then broke the jar and said: "Don't be serious with me. You have also seen the creations of those old masters. Even if they are not very in line with modern needs, they seem to have artistic value. Let's

People of this age still need to settle down."

"Culture is not something that can be achieved overnight, but many of us are too eager to get things done. We dare to use our imagination at will without knowing more about it. The end result is that we overshadow the guest."

"Okay, don't read these anymore. Otherwise, I will lead you astray, making you feel that you are good again before you understand it thoroughly." I have to say that it is no wonder that Sheng Xia can talk to An Ji's mother He Yanqing many times. It seems that

It is impossible to do without the two's talkative and never-tired advice.

"Okay." An Ji knew what his best friend was thinking, so he just smiled and started to work with the latter.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the weather in Hangzhou can be said to be pleasant. Although the heat has not really faded away, the wind from the West Lake brings some relief to those who are busy under the sunny sun.

"Won't you come and join us in the fun?" It was precisely in order to arrange the things needed for the garden party in advance that Shengxia asked An Ji to help. He knew that He Yanqing would be on vacation by then, and was afraid that An Ji would conflict with the former because of the previous incident.

, Midsummer wants to bring people out to relax.

"And maybe you can find some useful inspiration?"

While chatting, Shengxia was still rummaging through boxes and cabinets. She didn’t know what she found out, so she jumped directly to other topics: “Hey, this one is out of print. I didn’t expect there was another one. It happened that someone liked it that day. I’ll give it a try.

It’s really fate to ask if you want more...”

"This needs to be ironed and put away. It's the last one. It's too troublesome to ask the manufacturer to produce it again." He folded the clothes and put them aside. He didn't know how Shengxia's mind turned around and switched to just now.

On the topic, "This Song Dynasty piece is selling very well. I came up with it when I saw a bonsai at a previous event."

An Ji looked in the direction of Midsummer and saw a set of Song Dynasty long trousers, tube tops and pleated skirts with very contrasting colors. The red and green colors did not look tacky, but added a bit of wealth to the elegance of the Song Dynasty itself.

.

In the Song Dynasty, this kind of red color was not something ordinary people could wear. Although the people in Lin'an City often wore colors that were very close to each other, it was still three points behind.

"If it's real silk, can it be sold?" Sure enough, it's the same as what Shengxia said. If An Ji looks around more, he can always come up with new ideas. "It feels like now, except for some custom-made merchants with uneven quality, basically

There are not many shops that make silk.”

Even if Shengxia Dang understands An Ji's thoughts, since he is doing business, he cannot ignore the cost and market for the sake of 'revival' and 'innovation'. There are thousands of Hanfus that are relatively difficult to maintain, even if they are drapey,

The skin texture will be much better, but the sales volume will definitely not increase.

"Is it difficult to sell?" It seemed like a question, but when the former was pondering, An Ji already understood the answer.

Although more and more young people now wear Hanfu as a formal dress, they usually attend graduation ceremonies or even participate in various cultural garden parties.

If you don’t attend big occasions, there are very few people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy. They will also chase some big brands that have been in the market for many years. Even if the material of this hot-selling product is changed to Hangzhou in the middle of summer, it will only end up like this.

The sales volume is low and the cost is high. Let alone making a profit, it is good to not lose money.

What's more, if this continues, we will still be trapped in the circle that accepts Hanfu, and this circle itself is facing many difficulties...

"Give it a try." With the support of her parents, Shengxia has always been a daring character. She gives up and boldly tries anything. Even if she fails, she dares to take responsibility for it.

In Shengxia's words, his parents had a smooth life. Even if there were unexpected changes, they met people and things that would benefit them throughout their lives.

At the same time, Shengxia can understand An Ji's mother. Whenever she mentions these things, the former always tries to persuade An Ji: Everyone's experience is different. It is inevitable for our parents to be good to us. We want to live our own lives, but our parents are afraid.

When we are hurt, we would rather not shine brightly than let us be safe and healthy.

It is precisely because of Shengxia's character that almost every attempt by Shengxia ends in success: "Let's give it a try. If it works, at least in Hanfu, more people will know about Hangluo. Let's do something else."

Designs, or people more capable than us, can work with us to overcome these obstacles."

Shengxia made the decision too quickly, even without thinking about it, but An Ji knew that the plans made by the former were carefully considered - Shengxia had accumulated experience from the failures caused by recklessness.

"Although this piece sells very well, there are some parts that may not match Hangluo very well. I will give you the design, and you can see how to modify it yourself." Shengxia felt happy and trusted An Ji, "Wait until the modifications are completed.

Okay, let’s discuss the cost issue again.”

Speaking of which, An Ji is still a little confused. Is this the way a domineering best friend is like: "Okay."

"Then it's settled, don't step back in the middle." Knowing that An Ji's situation is different from his own, Shengxia said this purely to reassure the former. As long as An Ji can change the picture for him, he will definitely do it.

You will produce it as promised, "If you don't give me the manuscript by then, I, the boss, will squeeze you."

The support of friends gave An Ji great encouragement. No matter whether it was successful or not, his first attempt finally came to fruition. Looking at Sheng Xia's firm eyes, An Ji also made up his mind to give it a try based on his current understanding:

"good!"

If it succeeds this time, An Ji can probably discuss it with his mother He Yanqing: "Then you may have to wait for a while."

"I know you want to keep improving, but our current design doesn't need to be so perfect. You have to do it step by step." Shengxia understood what An Ji meant. The latter had never experienced failure, so he was more afraid of failure than himself and worried about his current situation.

The level is not enough.

"One bite won't make you fat. You have to wait until you know Hangluo well before you start designing. Even if you don't mention how old you are at that time, you have to think about it. If you don't try to pave the way again and again, the design will be done by then.

Isn’t it a castle in the air?”

Shengxia and An Ji came together all the way. Shengxia could understand An Ji's thoughts without naming them. These words spoke to An Ji's heart and eliminated the latter's last hesitation.

"Okay, if it works..."

"If it doesn't work well, it won't work. I decided to do it myself. You just help me with the design. If it's done well, we'll be happy together. If it doesn't work well, I'll treat it as a failure of my investment. You don't have to put too much pressure on me."

An Ji knew that if Sheng Xia hadn't been his best friend, no matter how interested he was in a Hanfu store, he wouldn't have decided so easily to support him. Even though the latter said he didn't care, he would still have to put in 100% effort to come.

Repay that trust.

"Okay, you start thinking too much again." Seeing An Ji's expression of "reporting to the emperor on the golden stage, and supporting the jade dragon to die for the emperor", Shengxia knew the former's thoughts, "The market is no longer what it was back then, and there are more and more people."

People are willing to accept high prices to buy high-quality things.”

"I have also wanted to try this aspect during this period, but my thoughts have returned to my original thoughts during my graduation project." Shengxia said this firstly to dispel An Ji's concerns, and secondly.

Confess your thoughts.

"But I found that my understanding of those materials is still limited to the materials." As she said this, Shengxia raised her mobile phone. "It's just like the video you showed me. It's a superficial understanding without a systematic understanding."

The culture behind it.”

Picking up the new era design that combined Chinese elements, Shengxia compared it in front of An Ji: "This one really suits you. I look like a bandit who has been recognized home..."

Putting the clothes on the chair aside, seeing that he was getting taller and tireder, he really wanted to give all the good things to his best friend in midsummer: "So I also thought about Hang Luo. Thinking about it again, you should be better than me.

Understand."

"So I want to talk to you this time. Now we the people are the masters of the country. The uniforms that could not be worn a thousand years ago have become cabbage that ordinary people can pick at will."

"Nowadays, everyone's requirements for the comfort of fabrics are also increasing. It would be best if these two cultural pearls can shine together."

The cool breeze disturbs the clouds on the lake, and the beautiful scenery scatters the waves. The sun hidden in the clouds reflects the West Lake into a giant carp, passing through it, like stars falling into the pond, like wind and mist entering the river.
