Chapter 214 Shopping
The family drove all the way to the largest shopping mall in Beijing. When they arrived at the mall, the three women walked in front, followed closely by Han Chengde and Ye Xi.
In order to deal with Mei Yulan, the few people were not very fast and slowly shuttled through various luxury stores. After a while, Ye Xi and Han Chengde had more than a dozen bags of various sizes in their hands. This was the result of the three women restraining themselves from buying.
Didn’t you say you came here to buy clothes for the party? But the two of them looked at the bags in their hands. It seemed that it was not just clothes, but also shoes, cosmetics, and bags. However, they had not yet chosen a banquet dress that they were satisfied with.
The two looked at the three women in front of them, and it was obvious that the three women at home, old and young, seemed to be getting more and more energetic, and their walking speed was also getting faster.
Ye Xi and Han Chengde looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They watched the three women at home walking towards a high-end custom cheongsam shop called "Feng", and the two of them immediately followed.
In a modern building like a shopping mall, the decoration of this cheongsam shop can be described as antique. The door doesn't look big, it looks like a month-long cave door.
As soon as they walked to the door of the store, a receptionist wearing a cheongsam came over. "Do you want to customize cheongsam?" the receptionist asked softly with a smile.
Mei Yulan nodded, and the receptionist leaned slightly to welcome the group in.
After entering, there is a screen wall blocking the view inside. Several people walked around the screen wall and suddenly saw a walkway, which looked more like an exhibition hall. On both sides of the aisle are exquisite cheongsams displayed, all separated by glass walls. The surrounding light was very dark, with only a few spotlights shining on the cheongsam, making the cheongsam look even more stunning.
Lin Xi had also used Yunwei cloth to make clothes for her family before, using the style of cheongsam. However, the cloth is relatively plain and elegant, and the patterns she embroidered are also very elegant, so the colors and patterns are not as bright as the cheongsams from this store.
But those who are really knowledgeable will exclaim when they see it. Whether it is in terms of fabric or embroidery skills, the clothes made by Lin Xi are so much better.
Looking at these exquisite cheongsams in the display cabinet, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but admired: "It's so beautiful."
When the receptionist leading the way heard Mother Lin's praise, the corners of her already smiling mouth curved even more.
"Madam, our cheongsams are all handmade."
With that said, the group of people had already reached the end of the corridor, and what they saw was a set of bright red wedding dresses, from headgear to costumes. The complete set of phoenix crowns and harems stunned everyone.
Even Lin Xi couldn't help but want to get married after seeing it.
The red satin is embroidered with hundreds of birds and phoenixes embroidered with gold thread, and a phoenix is entrenched in front of the wedding dress. The phoenix raised its slender neck and spread its wings gently, showing off its delicate appearance. Several people could clearly see the texture on each feather, and the entire phoenix was lifelike, as if it was about to fly out.
The receptionist lady was a little stunned when she saw several people, and introduced aloud: "This wedding dress is the treasure of our store. It was made by the famous embroidery master Su Jin and her three disciples, from silkworm raising to It took eight years to complete the weaving, dyeing, cutting, and embroidery work. Someone offered 50 million before, but Master Su didn't sell it."
It's not hard to hear a hint of pride in the receptionist's voice. It is undeniable that this set of phoenix crowns and harems is really eye-catching and belongs to the best among the best.
Lin Xi and others stayed for a while, and the receptionist led a few more people inside. After walking around the store's treasure, the light comes on. This place is not like other stores with glass display cabinets. Rows of cloth racks are arranged in an orderly manner. Fabrics of different materials and patterns are placed on the cloth racks in sequence. On the top, you can see that the fabrics are very complete.
"This is our fabric area." the receptionist introduced. There were very few people in the fabric area, only three or five ladies choosing fabrics.
The receptionist didn't stop and led a few people to a small room next to them.
The decoration of the room was also antique. Lin Xi and others took their seats. The receptionist quickly brought tea and then took out a brochure. "Miss, Madam, this is our family's style brochure. Take a look." What kind of style do you like?”
The three women were flipping through the books, whispering to each other from time to time, and asking Han Chengde and Ye Xi from time to time. However, no matter what they asked, both of them said it looked good. The next three simply stopped asking the two of them, and Han Chengde and Ye Xi were also happy and comfortable.
After a while, the three of them selected the styles they liked, and the receptionist took them to measure the sizes.
This whole process took more than an hour. However, this is not the end, there is still fabric to choose from.
Several people came to the fabric area again, and the receptionist recommended several styles based on the styles they chose. They thought they were pretty good, so they accepted them. The smile on the receptionist's face became slightly brighter.
At checkout, the three cheongsams cost a total of more than 300,000 yuan. The receptionist handed the receipt to Lin Xi, "Miss, the construction period is six months, and I will call you to inform you then."
Lin Xi nodded, not thinking that the construction period would be a little long.
Tiantian knew what Lin Xi was thinking and complained: "Do you think everyone is like you, with inner strength to protect yourself and master-level clothing skills?"
Lin Xi thought: That's right, the rewards you give yourself every day are good things.
In my mind, Tiantian's voice was very arrogant: "The products produced by the system must be high-quality products."
When the family left the cheongsam shop, they were all a little tired, especially Mei Yulan. She didn't feel tired when she just went shopping. After sitting in the cheongsam shop for a while, she gradually felt tired.
Lin Xi supported Mei Yulan and said, "It's been a long time since I came out today. Let's find a place to eat and then go back."
Several people nodded in agreement. Even after shopping for so long, they still couldn't buy the party clothes they wanted. In the end, Han Chengde said that there was no need to worry about the clothes, he would find someone to take care of it. Today's shopping trip has just ended.
After leaving the mall, the family decided to go to a time-honored mutton-shabu restaurant. When they arrived, they saw a queue at the door.
"There are so many people, why don't we find another one?" After shopping all day today, Lin Xi didn't want to wait too long to get married.
"Then let's find another one."
As they spoke, they were about to leave. At this time, an old man walked out of the store, followed by a man in his forties or fifties. The old man's eyes were bright and he was talking to the man next to him. The man didn't speak and just listened quietly.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes looked around, and then fell on Han Chengde and the others.
The old man murmured: "Brother Han?"
The man next to him didn't seem to hear clearly and looked at the old man suspiciously. The old man ignored him and walked straight to Han Chengde.
