“This will fit you better, and it can only be worn for three months at most before you have to change it. It’s good for your body and is hygienic,” Ye Muyu explained patiently, but she was more concerned about the close-fitting effect.
As for the inner garment from her previous life, it was too modern. If she really made it, it would be noticed when she left it outside to dry. It would also cause a lot of gossip.
Although the dudou was not very effective, it was enough for a married woman like her.
Madam Hu was a little curious about these underwear.
Seeing Ye Muyu looking at her, she smiled amiably.
“Do you want to make a set?” Ye Muyu asked excitedly.
When Madam Hu heard this, she waved her hand and refused. “Madam, this servant is already so old. How can I wear such short clothes?” Ye Muyu was curious about her resistance.
“Madam Hu, haven’t you thought of wearing something more fitting?
“Look at these ordinary underwear. They are more or less not fitting. Don’t you think… it feels uncomfortable?”
Madam Hu replied, “That’s why the underwear should be made of cotton. If it’s made of linen, it’ll be uncomfortable.”
“The fabric used in most people’s underwear is the best.”
“I mean, it’s uncomfortable if it doesn’t fit well enough.” Ye Muyu tried to make it as obvious as possible.
“For example, when you’re on your period, the menstrual belt will fit you very well. Why don’t you make a pair of shorts? It’ll be more convenient to wear them.”
This time, Madam Hu understood, but her face could not help but turn red. Even if her skin was rough. she could still see that her face was red. It could be seen how big this topic was for her.
“Madam, I can’t. It’s so short. If others find out, it’ll be too embarrassing.”
“I’m afraid only women from brothels would dare to dress like this.”
Ye Muyu’s mouth twitched. She felt that her idea of making her own boxers was about to be shattered.
Sure enough, she heard Madam Hu say with some worry, “Madam, if people know what you’ve done, I’m afraid it will tarnish a woman’s reputation.”.
“Madam, this servant is not doubting you, but I have heard of something that happened in the county. That was a man from a good family who went to a brothel, and the man’s wife went to find him.”
“After the incident, it was rumored that the women there were dressed scantily and wore extremely short underwear.”
“After this news spread, everyone thought that extremely short underwear was only used by women in the brothels.”
“We are ordinary women from good families, so we can’t wear those kinds of underwear. It will ruin our reputation.”
Ye Muyu facepalmed. She did not expect that her second-best option of making boxers would become impossible.
“Really?” Ye Muyu still wanted to struggle.
Seeing that she was not angry, Madam Hu boldly shook her head. “Yes, Madam. If this hadn’t happened, everyone would have no problem wearing shorter underwear in private. But now that this has happened, the more virtuous a woman is, the more she won’t accept this.”
Ye Muyu thought about it and agreed. After all, the difference in status in ancient times was deeply engraved in everyone’s mind.
It was not something that could be changed by a single sentence or a single person.
It was better for her not to try to shake the feudal system by herself. It would only increase her troubles.
“Then how about I make it a little longer and level with my knees?” Ye Muyu retreated and asked.
Although Madam Hu did not understand why Ye Muyu was so obsessed with short underwear, she did not shake her head this time.
“This should be possible.”
“Alright, I understand.” Ye Muyu sat down and continued to make underwear..
