"It's a century-old shop," Du Xiao said, "and even in the years of war, it's still open." ”

"That's amazing," Liu Qianqian asked, "How?"

Du Xiao said: "I don't know, but if you can buy such a piece of land in this location in the city and keep it in this state, the boss should have his own way." ”

He also said, "Most of the rich and noble families have only come here." ”

Liu Qianqian took a sip of tea: "I can see that the average tailor shop will not be decorated like this, and the tea is very fragrant, it is estimated that it is not cheap." ”

Du Xiao said: "I will taste it too." ”

He sniffed it, picked up the teacup and put it to his lips, and sipped it gently.

Liu Qianqian said, "How?"

"The water used to make tea is not tap water," Du Xiao said, "It doesn't taste like filtered water, but the pot used to boil water is not very good, and it has a bit of a metallic taste, which I don't like very much." ”

He is gradually receptive to foods such as tomatoes or potatoes and chicken, but he is still picky about water.

"I don't know much about tea, only some tea leaves for cooking, like tea at this price, which are generally not used for cooking." ”

The aroma of tea is relatively delicate, almost medium tea is enough, in terms of cuisine, there is a big difference between good tea and bad tea, but the difference between good tea and medium tea is not obvious, and that aroma will be covered by seasonings a lot.

Du Xiao said: "Have you read the pattern album? If you like the style, just come, make a few sets to wear, the fabric and tailoring of this house are considered the top in China, you don't have to go abroad those big brands with high tolerance, it is better to say that it is much better, if you carefully maintain, you can wear it for a long time." ”

Although it doesn't have its own brand, this tailor's shop is still a favorite of the country's gentlemen and ladies.

Liu Qianqian said: "I don't wear cheongsam much, I don't know how to wear it well. ”

"It's not just cheongsams," Du Xiao went to the bookcase and flipped through it, handing her a copy, "There are also dresses." ”

"Western Clothes......" The album in Liu Qianqian's hand also reads 'Western Clothes' in beautiful floral characters, "Good traditional name." ”

She flipped through the atlas in her hand, which was full of basic dresses, which would hardly ever go out of style as long as the fabric pattern was chosen.

Liu Qianqian doesn't particularly like it, she is not attached to clothes, and those at home are enough to wear: "Custom-made clothes today, can't you get them today?"

"Well, I'll have to wait a few days. Du Xiao said, "I ordered my grandmother's cheongsam about a week ago. ”

"That's pretty fast, but I don't need to, just go to the mall and buy ready-to-wear." Liu Qianqian said, "I don't have much energy to semen these clothes." ”

Du Xiao didn't force her, the two of them waited for a while, and the young tailor just now came back with a wooden box: "The clothes you ordered." ”

The young tailor shook out the cheongsam in the wooden box, and after Du Xiao checked it carefully, and after there were no problems, he folded it again and put it back in the wooden box.

There are four pieces in total, one for each of the four seasons, and the thickness also varies.

After the inspection, the young tailor carried the wooden box and sent Du Xiao and them back to the door, Du Xiao put the wooden box in the co-pilot, and sat in the back with Liu Qianqian.

"That's it?"

"It's done," Du Xiao said, "I'll send someone to Feng's house tomorrow." ”

"Why don't you bring it yourself?" Ms. Liu said.

"No, we have to go over a day earlier for such a heavy box," Du Xiao said, "My grandmother only has one daughter, my mother, and I am her only grandson, so I have to go back early." ”

Liu Qianqian was surprised: "No wonder. ”

Du Xiao glanced at her: "Did you think about the kind in the TV series, the banquet has already started, and then we will take the wooden box to celebrate the birthday of the old lady." ”

"Yes. "Jiujiu Library

"It's impossible, only distant relatives will be after the opening," Du Xiao said, "We like us have to accompany the old man early." ”

Liu Qianqian said: "I feel a little nervous. ”

"Don't be nervous," Du Xiao said, "there aren't many people." ”

"I don't believe that there are not many of you rich people, there are always a hundred?" Liu Qianqian raised her eyebrows.

Du Xiao thought about it in his heart: "No, more than fifty is almost, not counting the service staff." ”

The Feng family is not a big family in the city, and it is not comparable to the Du family, but because the daughter married the Du family and is now a serious wife, it is very honorable.

Mrs. Feng doesn't care so much about these, Mr. Feng died more than ten years ago, and the Feng family also has some property, which is considered an inheritance, and it is given to Du's mother, and the rest is Mrs. Feng's.

The old lady lives a more traditional life, and she can't run the company without going out of the door, so she sold it to her younger brother, the relationship between sister and brother is okay, and Brother Feng is not the kind of person who takes the money and pits the old lady, not to mention that Mrs. Feng has Du's son-in-law behind her, Brother Feng also took the initiative to give the old lady some stocks, and the money in his hand plus the dividends of these stocks, as well as the subsidies of his daughter and eldest grandson from time to time, Mrs. Feng can be said to be very comfortable.

She is not a big birthday this year, only seventy-six years old, she had two sons, both of whom died early, and the third child desperately gave birth to Du's mother, which is really a pearl in the palm of her hand, probably because Du's mother was weak when she was born, and her health was not good, so she didn't get pregnant for a long time.

Because of this incident, Mrs. Feng still loves Du Heng very much, at least the appearance of this child has made her daughter's marriage much smoother, not to mention that ten years after Du Heng arrived at the Du family, Du's mother miraculously became pregnant with Du Xiao again.

Du's father's attitude towards Du Heng, Mrs. Feng also heard about it, and she was naturally dissatisfied in her heart, and I heard that Old Man Du still loves this eldest grandson, and can only sigh that when people are always confused, Father Du has no other problems in his life, but he is only unclear about the eldest son's affairs, but she is a traditional woman, and she will not say these words to her son-in-law, so she can only secretly love Du Heng more.

Of course, Du Heng loves him so much, and treats his grandson Du Xiao like a jewel.

The old lady is seventy-six years old, and it is not a whole number of birthdays, so there is really no need to do a big deal, in previous years, she usually received the Du family to have a family banquet together, get together, and live for a few days.

But last winter, Mrs. Feng probably caught a cold, had a fever for a long time, and had been hospitalized intermittently, originally Mrs. Feng was a healthy, some rich old lady, this illness down, people lost weight several times, the spirit is gone, raised at home for more than half a year to ease up, now although she has recovered her health, but at that time took care of her, accompanied by the hospital Du father Du mother, Du Heng Du Xiao heart, there are some unspeakable sadness.

So this year, I said that I would do it a little bit, and I didn't invite many outsiders, the Feng family's Feng family was old and young, and only those who were close to each other came over, the Du family, plus Mrs. Feng's own old sisters, usual friends, there were actually only about 30 people inside and out, and Du Xiao also said more.

It is also because of this psychology that Du Xiao knows that Du Heng wants to send something good to Mrs. Feng, he also thinks so, Du Heng didn't hide this matter from him, after all, the two brothers collided with gifts, and their faces were ugly, no matter how they usually fought in private, in front of the old man, they must not expose their disagreement, even if the old people have some numbers in their hearts, but they must get by on the face and make the old man comfortable.

So Du Heng asked the secretary to inform Du Xiao early that he was going to send jade to Mrs. Feng's birthday this year, so Du Xiao went to order a cheongsam for Mrs. Feng, this set of four cheongsams is not only all hand-embroidered, but also made by that shop, which is enough for Mrs. Feng to compete for face in front of the old sisters.

And they don't give gifts in front of everyone, that's what people on the side do, Du Heng Du Xiao's grandson doesn't have to be so rusty.

Liu Qianqian can understand how much, Xiao Qian also held a large banquet on her birthday, she never gave her mother a birthday gift in front of everyone, the gifts were all given in private, carefully speaking, she almost never participated in Xiao Qian's birthday party, because she didn't like to show up in front of the media, their family of three would celebrate a little the night before their birthday, there were only three people, even Aunt and Uncle Chen They would not participate, Liu Qianqian would cook a big table of dishes, and then bake a small cake, and finally finished eating and handed the gift to Xiao Qian。 And the next day, Xiao Qian will hold another large-scale birthday celebration for her fans.

This kind of intimacy has other particulars, and Liu Qianqian still understands it.

"Then what should I give the old lady?"

Du Xiao thought for a while: "She actually has a lot of hobbies, in addition to cheongsam and jade, she also likes music, that is, vinyl records, ballroom dancing, so her health has always been good, and she also likes to paint. ”

"Oh, I remember," Ms. Liu said, "you also made propaganda and billboards, right?" ”

Because of Du Xiao, the exhibition came to a lot of visitors, and it was lively.

"I have a way of making vinyl records," Liu Qianqian said, "which country does the old lady listen to? I have a senior with whom I have a good relationship, and I have opened a music restaurant, which specializes in vinyl. ”

Du Xiao said: "She likes old singers, Xianglan or Zhou Xuan, it's really not easy to buy in China, and jazz can also be used." ”

"The old lady has a really good taste," Liu Qianqian said, "Then I'll contact the senior and ask." ”

She took out her mobile phone, Du Xiao watched her quickly flip through the address book, and smiled: "There are quite a lot of your seniors." ”

"Beijing University is like this," Liu Qianqian said, "the factions are very deep, there are good and bad, now that the master is here, he can still sit down, at least the students of our master's direct line are very united." It's hard to say what will happen in the future. ”

"It sounds like a problem, too. ”

"Of course," Liu Qianqian said, "where there are people, there are problems, not to mention people standing in line." ”
