Chapter 81: Choosing Banquet Clothes for Each Other
After Qiu Yu and Xiangzi arrived at the side hall, as soon as Qiu Yu sat down, Mrs. Qiu handed Qiu Yu a red invitation, "Something happened at home yesterday, I forgot to give you this invitation, this is the invitation to the princess's birthday banquet, and the people invited are high-ranking officials and nobles and families, you can take it, don't forget to prepare gifts to participate when the time comes." ”
After hearing this, Qiu Yu nodded and handed the invitation to Xiangzi beside him, and asked him to help put it away, he planned to meet with Han Bo and Chen Hongsheng in the teahouse in the afternoon, discuss with them what gifts to prepare, and then go to the princess's birthday banquet together.
And Lin Hongwan's side, after she finished breakfast early this morning, she left the Lin Mansion with the jade butterfly ornament and blue sachet that Qiu Yu had given her before, and she planned to go to the jewelry store to modify these two things, so she was not in the Lin Mansion when Master Qiu and Qiu Yu went to the Lin Mansion for help.
Lin Hongwan came to a very famous jewelry store in Hongqing City with her jewelry box, and as soon as she entered the store, the owner came over very enthusiastically and said hello, "This guest officer, are you here to make jewelry?"
"I wanted to change my jewelry. Lin Hongwan said and put the jewelry box on the table in the store, she opened the jewelry box and took out the jade butterfly ornaments and sachets on the face.
The shopkeeper took Lin Hongwan's jewelry and put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, "Girl, what do you want to change this jade butterfly ornament and sachet into?"
"As long as it looks good, you can change it to anything. Lin Hongwan told the shopkeeper with a smile.
"Girl, then I see that this jade butterfly ornament will be changed to a peacock line? I will also change the pattern of the blue sachet for you, can you see it?" After thinking deeply, the shopkeeper gave his own suggestions for modification.
"Well, just do as you say, when will I be able to get it? I'll be going to a birthday party in a few days, and I'd like to wear them to when the time comes. Lin Hongwan felt that Qiu Yu would definitely go to the princess's birthday party, and then he could see that he had changed what he gave him and see how he reacted.
Lin Hongwan was expecting Qiu Yu to notice herself, maybe she would attract his attention by doing so, then her purpose would be achieved, and in Qiu Yu's eyes, she would not be transparent.
"The girl can come to pick up today before we close the shop, and the guys in our store are all skilled and very quick, as long as it is not too difficult and complicated, you can pick it up on the same day. The owner of the store proudly boasted about his own store with Lin Hongwan, and the speed of a store like theirs was not comparable to that of ordinary small shops.
Lin Hongwan was thinking about guessing Qiu Yu's reaction, when she heard the shopkeeper proudly say that she would be able to take it that day, she smiled and nodded with great satisfaction, and then said goodbye to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper saw that Lin Hongwan was leaving, so he hurriedly gave her the slip to change the jewelry, and asked her to take the slip to get the two pieces of jewelry at that time.
After Lin Hongwan left the jewelry store, she planned to go to Sun Yueling, wanting to go with her to buy a dress for the princess's birthday banquet, after all, if she wants to enter the palace, she can't wear it too ordinary and casual.
Lin Hongwan came to the gate of the Sun Mansion, and after letting the doorman pass the word, she was led by the doorman to the side hall of the Sun Mansion, Sun Yueling was sitting on a chair in the hall embroidering a handkerchief, and when she saw Lin Hongwan come in, she immediately put down the things in her hand and greeted her with a smile.
"Hongwan, come in, why are you free to find me today, don't you have to study with Mr. Girl?"
"I want to change my jewelry today, I just came out of the jewelry store, I don't want to come with my sister to choose clothes for the princess's birthday party, my sister should also receive an invitation. Lin Hongwan affectionately took Sun Yueling's arm and explained the purpose of her visit to her.
"Okay, I also want to choose a dress to attend the princess's birthday party, my sister is here, we really have a heart, you wait for me here, I'll clean up and come out, let's go choose clothes together." After Sun Yueling finished explaining, she left the side hall to dress up.
After Lin Hongwan waited for about twenty minutes, Sun Yueling came back again, and the two happily walked out of Sun's mansion together and walked towards the best ready-to-wear store in Hongqing City.
After the two of them came to the ready-to-wear store, the owner of the store was very shrewd after doing this business for a long time, and he knew that the identity of these two girls was not ordinary, and he would definitely be able to buy a large amount of goods today, so he hurriedly ran forward to greet him.
"The two girls came to our store, what kind of clothes do you want to choose, our clothes here are all famous, dignitaries and nobles wear the clothes in our store. ”
The shopkeeper nodded and said, Lin Hongwan and Sun Yueling responded with a smile while walking and looking at the clothes in the store, "Boss, what kind of clothes do you have for the banquet, take them out for us to see." ”
"Okay, wait a minute. So saying, the shopkeeper took out all the clothes suitable for the banquet in the store, put them in front of the two of them, and let them choose.
"Hongwan, I see how the two of us choose each other's clothes today, we pick out all the clothes we like, you help me choose one of them, and I will also help you choose one, so I think the clothes selected can be more suitable for us to go to the banquet, otherwise a person's vision is still limited. ”
Sun Yueling looked at the clothes in front of her, she didn't know what clothes she had to choose, she thought for a while, and came up with such an idea.
"Okay, I think it's a good idea, so that we can all choose the clothes we like, so let's do it, pick what we like, and then choose each other. After saying that, the two of them smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and began to choose their favorite clothes first.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Hongwan chose six of those clothes that she liked very much, and Sun Yueling chose five clothes, and after the two of them handed the selected clothes to each other, each of them picked out one of their favorite clothes from them, and they chose the clothes they were going to wear to the princess's birthday party.
Sun Yueling finally helped Lin Hongwan choose a lilac silk long skirt with yarn, and Lin Hongwan helped Sun Yueling choose a light blue slightly fluffy silk skirt, both of which were very valuable, and when they both brought the selected clothes to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
"Two hundred and thirty taels of silver. The shopkeeper smiled and waited for the two to pay the money, and after hearing this, they each paid their share of the money, and then they took the packaged clothes and planned to leave the ready-to-wear store.
