Chapter 191: Women Always Strive for Beauty

They say it’s rare to find a soulmate, and having one is enough!

And though she came to this world, she didn’t strike it rich, but she gained a couple of friends, which is lucky enough!

Friendship is all about sincerity. Others are good to her, she keeps it in her heart.

Li Xinyue decided not to refuse: “Let’s start!”

The two of them drew and revised, working for a whole day.

In the evening, Li Xinyue made a fish feast for Ma Zhen.

Yearning Pot Fish, Tofu Fish Soup, Spicy Fish Pieces.

Green Pepper Jarred Meat, Hollow Stem Vegetables, Shrimp and Gourd.

There were too many dishes, so Li Xinyue called over Qian Sanni and her daughter. Her husband was on duty and wouldn’t be back today.

Seeing this table of dishes, Ma Zhen was truly amazed: “Sister Xinyue, your cooking skills…are amazing!”

“I never knew there were so many ways to cook fish. I thought it was either braised or steamed.”

“Your husband, Battalion Commander Chen, must be overjoyed!”

“Hahaha…”

Overjoyed? She learned to cook not for him!

Teasingly, Li Xinyue looked at her with a playful expression: “Ma Zhen, do you want to learn?”

“I’ll tell you, if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach!”

“A woman, if she not only has beauty, status, position, and independence, but also has excellent cooking skills, that’s definitely a plus!”

“My life motto is: I can choose not to do it, but I absolutely can’t not know how to do it!”

“Of course, cooking skills, besides pleasing those you love, are also for satisfying your own taste buds!”

“I’m a foodie myself!”

To capture a man’s heart, you have to capture his stomach?

Is that true?

Even though she said she’s let go, if true love were so easy to let go of, then it wouldn’t be true love.

Whether there’s hope or not, being able to learn to cook delicious food is a good thing!

These words stirred something in Ma Zhen’s heart: “Then I’ll come and learn from you when I have time. You have to teach me.”

“No problem!”

Ma Zhen is a girl with a pure heart, and Li Xinyue genuinely likes her.

That relative of Xiao Nan who wants to marry Chen Mingchuan is called Xu Jiajia, and she’s from the capital.

She hasn’t appeared yet.

This person is very familiar with Ma Zhen. If she gets along well with Ma Zhen, then Xu Jiajia will have a hard time causing trouble!

Li Xinyue is never afraid of anything else, but she’s afraid of trouble.

Since the heavens made her transmigrate into the book, it’s to give her a preview. Naturally, she has to plan ahead and take down anyone who will cause trouble for her.

Soon, it was time to eat.

They didn’t buy wine, but Li Xinyue’s pear wine was ready.

Besides giving some pear from the basket to Xu Hongqin and Qian Sanni, she kept the rest to eat and made them into pear wine.

She couldn’t help it, Li Xinyue loves to drink this.

The sweet and sour pear wine won over Ma Zhen again. She kept shouting that she wanted to buy a whole cart of pears and make pear wine.

When she left, she even took a bottle with her.

The next day was National Day. The army had no activities, but Chen Yiheng had a day off.

“Mom, I want to go play with Sister Yifei.”

“Go, go!”

Li Xinyue just wanted to help Ma Zhen make a dress. Silk fabric was really scarce in this era, and the price was ridiculously high.

Only high-ranking officials’ families like Ma Zhen’s could casually bring out a bunch of it.

Li Xinyue really liked silk.

She decided to make a set for herself!

If there was extra, she would make a shirt for her son.

So, she started to get busy.

Luckily, Qian Sanni and Ma Zhen often came over to help.

In three days, the clothes were done.

Ma Zhen made two dresses, both with 21st-century designs. She loved them.

“It’s so beautiful! Sister Xinyue, look!”

The dress looked really good on Ma Zhen.

She already had a good figure, and wearing it made her look graceful and elegant.

Li Xinyue just felt something was still missing.

“Ma Zhen, I’ll make something else for you.”

Ma Zhen was curious: “What are you making?”

Li Xinyue smiled mysteriously: “Just wait, I’ll tell you what it is when I’m done!”

“Okay, okay, okay!”

Two hours later…

“Xinyue, this… this… this thing is so amazing!”

Ma Zhen’s chest wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either, she had a C cup.

A cotton vest could cover her chest but couldn’t shape it.

This bra, however, instantly lifted her chest, highlighting her slender waist!

Li Xinyue was also satisfied: “A woman’s chest lacks a beautiful soul without a bra, it looks so much better with one!”

Indeed!

Ma Zhen wasn’t fat, especially her upper body, not at all.

But because her chest wasn’t prominent, her whole figure lacked a graceful, slender look.

Now, all those shortcomings were gone!

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ma Zhen was truly excited: “I’ll find some fabric tomorrow, and you can make me a few more!”

“No problem!”

“Xinyue, are you wearing one too?”

Li Xinyue nodded with a smile: “Yes, isn’t it stylish?”

“It’s so stylish! You have such a good figure! It’s rare to find someone as thin as you with such a chest!”

Her figure was the original owner’s best asset besides her face.

When she gave birth to Chen Yiheng, the original owner had no milk, so she never breastfed her child.

Although she had given birth, if she didn’t say anything, you wouldn’t be able to tell from her figure.

“Ma Zhen, your figure isn’t bad either.”

“Because you train often, your legs are a bit muscular, but you’re not fat.”

“It’s okay, you’re tall, you can wear long dresses in the future!”

Yes.

This long dress today perfectly concealed her flaws, Ma Zhen was truly overjoyed.

Early the next morning, not only did Ma Zhen come, but she also brought a few young girls.

“Come, come, let me introduce you: Li Xinyue, the wife of Battalion Commander Chen, my sister!”

“The thing you saw last night, she made it!”

Speaking of the bra, the girls were both excited and shy.

“Sister-in-law, my name is Niu Lili, can you please make me a few bras?

“We’ll pay and provide the cloth coupons, you set the price!”

As soon as Niu Lili finished speaking, Liu Xiaojuan immediately stepped forward.

“Sister-in-law, my name is Liu Xiaojuan, what Lili means is what we all mean, can you?”

Niu Lili, Liu Xiaojuan, Wang Yue, Mu Qinglan.

Four girls, eight pairs of eyes looked at Li Xinyue with anticipation…

“I can, but Ma Zhen used silk fabric, I don’t have that, would cotton cloth work?”

Niu Lili blinked: “Sister-in-law, is there any difference?”

“There’s not much difference, just the feel is different, cotton needs to be washed before making.”

Is that so?

At this time, Wang Yue raised her hand: “My family has someone working in a textile factory, we have a few pieces of silk with some flaws at home.”

“But only blue and black, we four will make the same, will it get mixed up?”

Li Xinyue smiled: “No problem, first, you have different sizes, second, I’ll make different styles for you.”

“If you can get some sponge, it would be even better.”

Now Liu Xiaojuan raised her hand: “I can, my family is in a sponge factory.”

“Sister-in-law, what kind of sponge do you want, just tell me!”

That’s great!

Li Xinyue explained her requirements for the sponge: “You provide the materials, I charge for the style and craftsmanship, two yuan each.”

Two yuan each?

So expensive!
