Zhang Wanting was amused by Chen Wen and held her stomach and smiled.

Chen Wen continued: "Aha! If you don't have this kind of history book, you are welcome to study in China, and there are many learning materials in various university libraries, from history textbooks to villain books!

Zhang Wanting happily punched Chen Wen: "Chen Wen, you are too bad!"

After the beating, Zhang Wanting said again: "What you said is quite reasonable, well, I remember it!"

It was Chen Wen's turn to choose the costume, and the difficulties were similar to Zhang Wanting's initials.

For example, Chen Wen took a fancy to Bao Zhengbao Qingtian's black official uniform in Peking Opera, but if this thing wants to be effective, he must paint himself with a big black face, otherwise it will be nondescript.

For another example, he took a fancy to a Monkey King costume, but if he didn't stick to the monkey hair on his face, it wouldn't work.

After choosing for a long time, Chen Wen suddenly saw a row of dragon robes!

Yes, the clothes worn by the emperors in ancient times were just costumes.

The emperor's dragon robe must be very majestic, and in the opera, the emperor does not need to draw a big flower face, Bao Heizi, Sun Monkey, and Dou Erdun are big flower faces.

However, the emperor's dragon robe is also exquisite.

In his previous life, Chen Wen took the initiative to throw away his life ideals, but he was not an uneducated person. He knew that the dragon robes of the emperors of some dynasties could not be worn, such as the Southern Song Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, etc., if they were brought to France to wear to the "New Year's Party", they would be sarcastically ridiculed by those Dongying students who were familiar with Chinese history, and it would be more than worth the loss.

He thought about it for a while, since Zhang Wanting chose a Ming Dynasty skirt, then he chose a Tang Dynasty emperor's dragon robe.

The customer makes a request, and the store owner is busy selecting the goods.

Soon, the costume of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was dressed in red and yellow as a flower, was found by the shopkeeper.

Chen Wen has a tall figure, one meter seven or eight tall, the young man is very handsome, and he is the school grass of Yang Yuying's alma mater. Wearing this dragon robe, Zhang Wanting couldn't pull out her eyes.

The shopkeeper said: "The emperor wears a red dragon robe system in the Tang Dynasty, young man, you are very good at choosing." ”

Chen Wen took off the dragon robe, and the shopkeeper packed the dragon robe and skirt together. Chen Wen advised: "Pack it in two bags." ”

The rental fee for each piece of clothing is 5 yuan per day and the deposit is 100 yuan. The owner asked, "How long do you rent it?"

Chen Wen said: "Rent it for three days for school rehearsals. "For the sake of patriotism, there is no pressure to tell some lies.

The owner of the shop calculated the price, two sets of costumes, including a deposit and rent, a total of 230 yuan.

Zhang Wanting was busy digging out her wallet and said that one person would pay half.

Chen Wen grabbed her hand, smiled and handed over a color, and the corner of his eyes swept to the shopkeeper.

Zhang Wanting realized that if she said too much, she would lose it, and she couldn't let the shopkeeper find out that they didn't plan to return the costumes, so she stopped struggling.

One person carried a bag and walked out of the costume rental shop, Zhang Wanting immediately laughed: "Chen Wen, you."

Sure enough, there is a way to do it! This is how our country's traditional costume is in hand! It looks so good!"

Chen Wen said: "This dress is worn for singing, and it is no problem to attend the orientation party after the start of school, but it is not suitable for participating in more activities." ”

Zhang Wanting asked, "What other activities do you need to wear traditional costumes?"

Chen Wen said: "That's a lot, such as Christmas parties, Halloween carnivals or something. ”

Zhang Wanting followed Chen Wen all the way and got a costume, which formed an inertial dependence on Chen Wen in her brain, and asked casually: "Then what should I do?"

Chen Wen said: "I don't care, but I think you should dress well to go to the event." Well, I'll give you another cheongsam. ”

Zhang Wanting said: "Isn't this okay? The underskirt just now is the money you gave." I still don't want a cheongsam, and I can't wear it a few times after I buy it, it's a waste. ”

Chen Wen stared at Zhang Wanting's eyes and said seriously: "Some clothes are prepared for ceremonies, and for girls, even if they are only worn once, it is worth it to be able to show Chinese culture abroad." Alright, stop the ink, come with me!"

Costumes are not easy to find, but cheongsams are easy to buy, especially in Shanghai in 1992, because the streets are full of tailor shops that can be custom-made everywhere.

Chen Wen led Zhang Wanting and found a tailor shop near the Shanghai Drama Academy, which was lined with various ladies' skirts and a lot of cheongsams.

Chen Wen had never ordered a cheongsam, but he knew how to ask for a price.

The master tailor told them: "A cheongsam, medium fabric, needs to be ordered with 100 pieces of materials, and the construction period is 5 days." ”

The tailor also said: "The first acceptance, the guest needs to try it on, and the inappropriate places need to be modified again, and it takes two days for each modification to be corrected, and then try on the clothes if they are corrected, and they will be changed again if they are not suitable." ”

Chen Wen asked: "Why is it so troublesome, you have made a cheongsam for so many days, and the rent of the shop can't be turned back."

The tailor said, "I want to make dozens of cheongsams at the same time, and I don't just make it for you alone, of course you need to schedule it." ”

Chen Wen asked, "How long does it take you to make a cheongsam?"

The master tailor replied, "On average, it takes about 10 days for the customer to finally be satisfied." ”

Zhang Wanting immediately said: "I don't make cheongsams anymore, there are still 9 days left in the plane ticket time, and it's too late to customize cheongsam." ”

The tailor asked, "Little girl, are you in a hurry? I can expedite it here, you can pay the expedited fee." ”

Zhang Wanting was not too eager for the cheongsam, mainly because the economic conditions did not allow her to consume this kind of clothes that she could not wear a few times, and immediately said: "I don't want to hurry, I don't want to order, I don't want the cheongsam." ”

Chen Wen also felt a little troublesome, and wanted to send something to the girl but couldn't send it, which felt bad.

The tailor said, "Or like this, I have some finished products in my shop, which are former customers."

Ordered but don't want it, if you can see it, I can deal with it cheaper for you. ”

As soon as Chen Wen heard this, he immediately asked Zhang Wanting to pick one.

He said: "Anyway, it is used to participate in festivals in France, as long as it can reflect the Chinese style, and it is not a daily dress to wear every day." ”

The master tailor pointed to a dozen cheongsams on one wall and said that this was all there was to it.

Zhang Wanting chose for a long time and fell in love with a long-sleeved black cheongsam.

As soon as Chen Wen saw the style, he felt that his head was a little big, with a long-sleeved black cheongsam and a big green flower on his chest, I really don't know what kind of woman ordered such a cheongsam before.

With Chen Wen's aesthetics, this cheongsam, Mr. Meng, who is in his 30s, will look old-fashioned when he wears it, and 26-year-old Qin Yang will definitely look freaky when he wears it.

However, Chen Wen substituted a role assumption, if 10 kimonos with different ornaments were placed in front of any Chinese person, would they be able to distinguish which kimono was worn by a Dongying woman of what age and status?

In the same way, all kinds of cheongsams are placed in front of foreigners, and they are also blind.

Chen Wen thought that foreigners didn't know much about cheongsam, so he complied with Zhang Wanting's wishes.

Zhang Wanting tried it on, and the size was two circles larger than her figure.

Chen Wen smiled bitterly, and Zhang Wanting comforted him in turn: "This one is very good, it's a little big." I know how to do needlework myself, and I turned around and walked a few stitches to get smaller. Moreover, this one is long-sleeved, suitable for wearing when the weather is cold, and when the time comes, I will wear a base shirt inside, and the cheongsam should be bigger!"

Anyway, this cheongsam is used to promote Chinese elements, and I don't care too much about whether it fits or not, since Zhang Wanting has no opinion, Chen Wen no longer has an opinion.

bargained, and in the end this cheongsam was bought for 40 yuan.

Zhang Wanting stopped Chen Wen, and this time she paid for it herself.

The shopkeeper wrapped the cheongsam in a piece of yellow paper, tied it with a paper rope, and handed it to Zhang Wanting with both hands.

Zhang Wanting put the cheongsam into the bag of the skirt and said thank you to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen said: "You bought it with your own money, you don't need to thank me." ”

Zhang Wanting said: "Virtue!"

Zhang Wanting declined Chen Wen's suggestion to take a taxi to her and came to the bus stop to board the bus.

Zhang Wanting carried a bag with a skirt and a cheongsam, and said to Chen Wen with a smile: "Chen Wen, it's really fun to be with you, your girlfriend must be amused by you every day." ”

Chen Wen never told Zhang Wanting about him and Su Qianqian. He guessed that this was Zhang Wanting's emotion when she was happy today, or guessed, so he asked, "Where did you see that I have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Wanting said: "You have a very close relationship with the boy Yan in the junior class, I always see you two walking together." Also, the last few times I've been in class, I've seen you two on the side of the road downstairs from the French class, and I guess she should be waiting for you to come to school on the side of the road, right?? ”
