23 CHAPTER XXIII
The author has something to say: the attack has appeared in the previous chapter
Good night turned to look at the visitor, Ning Xuan showed a big smile, "Erin." For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit wΓ¨n. β
"Hello, Mr. Ning." Erin got out of a carriage pulled by a unicorn, and while greeting Ning Xuan, she turned around and reached out to help the girl who got off the carriage.
"Hello." Ning Xuan smiled and nodded, his eyes focused on the girl who Erin was supporting, and glanced at Erin with questioning eyes.
Erin smiled at Ning Xuan, "Let's go in first." β
"Okay." Ning Xuan said and opened the door sideways, waiting until the girls went in first, Ning Xuan was the last to enter the door.
As soon as he walked into the house, Ning Xuan heard Ansel's voice coming from far and near, "Ah Xuan, you finally remembered that your dear boss was alone in the shop, and it doesn't seem too unconscionableβ" But before he finished speaking, Anse El who walked to the store from behind stopped abruptly because he saw the people in the store, and only respoke after a while, "Miss Field?" β
The girl, who had not spoken since she got out of the carriage, looked very quiet, and had a feeling of weakness, and was called 'Miss Field' by Anse El when she heard Anse El 'Miss Field', shrank when she heard Anse El 'Lady' voice, looked up timidly, and then curtsied, "Hello, Mr. Dupont." β
"Hello." Although Ansel was a little surprised when he saw Field, he quickly put a polite and polite smile on his face, "It's rare to see Miss Field going out, did you come here today to buy clothes?" β
Field glanced at Ansel and then at Ning Xuan, then quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and whispered, "Hmm......"
And Ansel didn't seem to notice Field's seemingly petty behavior at all, but took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "I don't know what style of material Miss Field has her eye on and what kind of clothes she wants to make?" β
This time, Field didn't speak again, but turned to look at Erin.
Erin stepped forward and stopped in front of Field after receiving Field's gesture and said heartily, "Hello, Mr. Dupont, I accompanied our young lady here today mainly to customize the dress that Miss needs to wear during the coming-of-age ceremony, and at the same time, Miss also hopes that her coming-of-age dress can be made by Mr. Ning Xuan, is it okay?" β
Erin's words made Anse El glance at Ning Xuan, and then nodded without thinking, "Of course, we try our best to meet the needs of our customers. In this way, please Miss Field first choose the material you want to use to make the zuΓ² dress, I need Ning Xuan to accompany me to the back to move the newly made zuΓ² clothes to the front, and let Ning Xuan talk to you in detail later, okay? β
"Of course." Erin nodded in agreement.
With Erin's permission, Ansel gestured to Ning Xuan, and then took the lead in walking towards the back, while Ning Xuan also smiled apologetically at Erin and Field, and followed Ansel in.
There are indeed a few horses in the back fabric, but it is not to the point that it takes two people to be able to afford it, Ning Xuan knew that Anse Air had something to say to him, so he asked, "What's the matter, Ansai?" β
Anse El didn't answer Ning Xuan's question and asked separately, "Do you know how the little lady of the Field family would ask you to make clothes?" β
Ning Xuan thought for a moment and replied with an inquiring look at Ansel, "Because...... Erin's wedding dress? β
"Oops, my little fellow is so smart." Ning Xuan's answer made Anse El bloom into a peerless smile, and stretched out his slender fingers and pinched Ning Xuan's double chin, "A little bit is thorough." β
Before Ning Xuan could speak, Anse El continued, "I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be accepted by the aristocracy so quickly, although Erin, as the maid of the youngest daughter of the Field family, it is understandable that her dress was seen by Field, but sometimes, there is always an invisible boundary between nobles and commoners, and it is more difficult for nobles and civilians to use the same thing than to ascend to the sky!" However," Ansel said as he changed his words, "Ning Xuan, with your talent and ability, it is only a matter of time before you become the object of courtesy of the nobles." For the youngest daughter of the Field family, her temper is not as arrogant as that of other noble ladies, but sometimes, arrogance has the advantages of arrogance, and there are disadvantages of not being arrogant. Arrogant girls can easily find the trick to satisfying them, which is to be skillfully submissive and get them to agree with you when they don't know it, and not arrogant girls......" Anse El said with a chuckle, "You don't think there's a place to start......
Actually...... I think it's hard for you to say it. Ning Xuan said something in his heart and asked, "That's ...... Miss Field, ...... she? Ning Xuan already understood at this time that Anse El had brought himself to the back room in order to give himself a science about Miss Field's character, so as not to make a fuss when he received it later.
"She? She was probably the most grumpy lady in the entire aristocracy. Ning Xuan felt that Ansel was not complimented when he said this, and Ansel's next words proved his guess, "Because her temper is too good, basically no one knows what she is really satisfied with, and when anything is sent to her, she will neither say she likes nor say she likes it, she will always have such a silent and timid expression, like a rabbit that will be scared and faint anytime and anywhere." Speaking of which...... The Field family also has a headache for this little girl! Anse El shook his head, and then stretched out his hand to put it on Ning Xuan's shoulder, "However, since she came to you when she saw Erin's dress, at least, the clothes you made zuΓ² matched her appetite, so, a good start is a success, my dear young man, do a good job, boss, I'm very optimistic about you~"
What does Ning Xuan think of how Anse El looks like a fox who treacherously sold his little guy, but who called the other party the employer, Ning Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Please rest assured, boss, I will definitely live up to your expectations." β
So sometimes it's difficult to serve a moody person, Ning Xuan's answer couldn't satisfy Ansel, he made a heartbroken posture, "Ah, my dear young man, why are you so insincere, your expression betrays your heart......"
Before Ansel finished speaking, Ning Xuan had already gone to the front with the pile of clothes - it was really unaffordable to meet a boss who was addicted to drama, okay!
Miss Field, who had been together with Erin to carefully look at the fabric, stiffened when she heard the movement behind her, and involuntarily ducked behind Erin like a frightened rabbit.
Really...... A timid person, Ning Xuan sighed in his heart, put the fabric on the table and showed a gentle and harmless smile to Erin and Field, "Do you have any fancy?" After saying this, Ning Xuan walked up to Field and kept a distance that would not make the girl feel uneasy, "Miss Field, I think Erin must have talked to you about me, but now allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ning Xuan, I am a tailor in Mr. Dupont's clothing store, it is a pleasure to meet you." β
Perhaps for a person who is introverted and sensitive by nature, a white and soft fat man standing in front of him with a smile can always make him relax a little, Field showed a rare smile, and said in a small inattentive and almost inaudible voice, "Hello, Mr. Ning Xuan, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Elizabeth Field." β
Ning Xuan looked at Elizabeth Field as if he were looking at a person he had known for a long time, "So, Elizabeth, do you fancy any material?" Or do you have any ideas in your mind about your dress? β
Elizabeth looked at the man in front of him who was neither too cold to himself nor too flattering to himself, and spoke to him in a cordial tone like a little sister, and didn't feel that it was rude for him to call him by his first name, maybe Ning Xuan was born with a kind of affinity, Elizabeth actually stepped forward and looked at the parchment and charcoal in Ning Xuan's hand curiously, and then shook her head and said, "I've seen Irene's dress, it's beautiful, so...... I'd like to ask you to design one for me as well. β
Erin on the side was both surprised by Ning Xuan's self-familiar attitude and surprised that her young lady was not as timid and sensitive as usual, but she also opened her mouth at this time as a caring maid, "Yes, when I showed my dress to Miss, she praised me for finding the right person to do it, I don't think anyone in the whole city can think of Mr. Ning doing such beautiful clothes like this, so you will definitely not disappoint Miss, right?" β
Looking at Erin, who was talking to herself with her hands folded playfully and pleadingly, Ning Xuan's smile became a little thicker, "I'll work hard." Saying that, Ning Xuan gestured to the parchment in his hand, "But...... Before that, I thought we could sit down and talk about Elizabeth's vision for her dress. Perhaps, would you like a cup of tea? β
Elizabeth nodded, while Erin was much more lively, "Ah, I've been a little thirsty after walking for so long, it would be great if I could have a cup of tea~"
Ning Xuan was quite grateful to Erin for her efforts to liven up the atmosphere, smiled gratefully at her, and left a message to wait a while before going back to the back room to prepare tea.
As the owner of this shop, as soon as Ning Xuan came back, Anse Air became the shopkeeper and took Aji to the backyard to share the grilled squid - this is probably something that Ning Xuan never expected, one person and one dragon actually have an inexplicable love for this kind of food at the same time, and only at this time, Aji can live in harmony with Ansel.
After setting up the tea and leading Elizabeth and Erin to sit down at the round table and chairs that Ning Xuan specially asked Anse El to prepare, Ning Xuan started the topic in a relaxed tone, "Speaking of which, I don't know when Elizabeth's coming-of-age ceremony will be held." β
Perhaps it was the atmosphere that made Elizabeth feel relaxed, and she answered the question herself again, "It's midsummer this year. β
Ning Xuan thought in his heart, there were still about two months left, if he made a dress, he needed to repair and modify, and the time was a little tight, but his face was still not obvious, and he continued to smile and smile, "So, have you ever thought about what your dress should look like?" β
Such a question made Elizabeth silent, and Ning Xuan was not in a hurry, but said in an encouraging tone, "I think every girl will fantasize about one of their dreams in their hearts, maybe there is a long skirt, maybe there are beautiful patterns, maybe there are puff sleeves...... And so on and so forth, all these dreams of the clothes of my dreams, I think it's a very beautiful thing, and of course, there's nothing better than putting the details of your imagination into reality, so, Elizabeth, would you like to talk to me about it? β
Perhaps Ning Xuan's words were too demagogic, Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and then said, "I hope ...... My dress can be different, unlike anything I've seen before. After saying this, she glanced at Ning Xuan again, and when she touched the other party's gentle and encouraging eyes, she relieved her heart and mustered up the courage to go down, "The skirt doesn't need to be too long, and it shouldn't be too short, it's probably enough to love it this long." Elizabeth gestured, "I like white, so...... I want my dress to be white......"
It may have been difficult at first, but when she was really engaged, Elizabeth was not as reticent as she had been at first, but began to gush, because it was the dress of her dreams that she had thought of so many times, and her face shone with a different kind of brilliance. And Ning Xuan was also a good listener, listening patiently all the time, and then throwing out a few questions at the right time to guide Elizabeth to continue to talk and get the answers he wanted.
And Erin on the side looked at Ning Xuan with admiration on her face, feeling that the other party was really powerful, her young lady had never said so many words in one breath!
When Elizabeth finally finished the idea in her mind, the water in the teacup had already bottomed out, perhaps for the first time when she found that she had said so much, Elizabeth's face turned red, and she became the cautious girl before, "Of course, this is just my own thoughts, and I respect your opinion." β
"You have to make clothes that you like, Elizabeth, your opinion is very valuable, it gives me the right direction to think, which is a good thing for me, because it allows me to avoid detours." Ning Xuan smiled and said, "I have written down all your opinions, wait for me to sort them out." So, just now, did you have any fancy for making your dress? If you have one, you can sue me, and when I make the sketch, I can take into account the material of the garment you have chosen. β
Elizabeth shook her head, "No...... Perhaps, could you please help me choose the dress you made for Erin so good and beautiful, I trust your vision. β
Since Elizabeth said so, Ning Xuan was not reluctant, nodded and said, "Okay, I will choose carefully and carefully for you." So, when the sketches come out, will I send them to you or will I? β
At this time, Erin spoke, "If Mr. Ning has something, you can send someone to my house to leave a message, my father will inform me and then I will inform Miss, so there is no need to trouble Mr. Ning to make a special trip." β
"Okay, I got it." Ning Xuan felt that Erin had made a bit of an underground party like this, but he didn't ask too much, and only agreed with Erin's opinion.
And Elizabeth stood up at this time, "It's not early, I think I have to leave, thank you Mr. Ning for listening to me so patiently, I think the dress you made must be the most perfect." β
Erin playfully added a sentence, "Please Mr. Ning as soon as you are ready~"
"I'll do my best." Ning Xuan nodded, he didn't take care of everything, he was very conservative, he stood up and sent Erin and Elizabeth out of the door, turned around and went back to the store, only to find that he didn't know when Ansel came back from behind and looked at his notebook with relish.
Seeing Ning Xuan turn around, Anse El didn't feel uncomfortable peeking at the captured bag at all, but tapped a little parchment with his finger, "If you make clothes according to the idea of the youngest daughter of the Field family, you will have to wrap her into a ball with clothing in the end, tsk, some ideas are really cumbersome and cumbersome!" β
"She doesn't know how to make clothes, but she just says what she thinks." Ning Xuan walked over to Ansel and sat down, then glanced towards the back of the house, "Where's Aji?" β
"When you're full, you go to bed." Anse El replied, then touched his chin again, "So...... Do you have any ideas now? β
Ning Xuan shook his head, "Not yet, wait until I sort out the collected information first, there will be a coming-of-age ceremony in about two months, I will hurry up." β
"Then you do have to hurry, but it doesn't matter if you don't." Ansel said this sentence without a clue.
"What does that mean?" Ning Xuan didn't understand.
Anse El patted Ning Xuan, not feeling guilty at all, "My dear young man, you have to understand one thing, for a woman, there are two days that are the most important days in their lives, one is a coming-of-age ceremony and the other is a wedding. Regardless of whether they are nobles or commoners, they treat these two days carefully and carefully. Needless to say, even the usual thrifty commoners will take out their long-time savings and continue to dress their daughters beautifully to welcome the coming-of-age ceremony. But the aristocracy, it is even more grand, because ...... When you become an adult, you can get married, the age of budding, a good time to get married......"
Anse El didn't finish his words, but Ning Xuan understood the relationship, frowned and said, "According to what you said, Field is also a nobleman, so how could they allow Miss Field to customize the coming-of-age dress alone?" β
"Gee, my little guy really knows a little bit." Anse El snapped his fingers and looked appreciative, "Actually...... The Field family had already placed an order with me to make their little daughter's coming-of-age dress. β
"So?" Ning Xuan was a little puzzled, and he also understood why Anse El didn't say this matter just now, but let himself take the order.
"It seems that our honorable Miss Field is not very satisfied with the arrangements at home, and it is also that at such an age, even if she is as weak as a white rabbit, she will want to rebel. For those arrogant aristocrats, even if you were a tailor in my shop, they would not have entrusted such an important order to a man who seemed to them inexperienced. What I think is, since there is this opportunity of Miss Field, then don't give up, after all, what is the use of making clothes for commoners, it is better to take this opportunity to break into the aristocratic circle in one fell swoop, that is your best world. When the time comes, my clothes will be done, don't put them down, and when the finished product comes out, it will naturally be your best pass. Seeing that Ning Xuan opened his mouth to say something, Anse El waved his hand and said, "Besides, aristocratic family, do you think the girls' coming-of-age ceremony is just a short ceremony?" It's a great opportunity for the nobles to interact with each other, so the coming-of-age ceremony takes place for a day, and the girls change into several dresses in a row, so don't worry, you're just one of them. Otherwise, even if Miss Field, who was rarely rebellious, a hundred daring, she would not dare to come out alone and find someone to make her a dress. β
Ning Xuan digested Ansel's words, and finally didn't say anything else, just nodded, "I know, I'll work hard, thank you, Ansai." β
Anse El waved his hand, stood up and staggered to the back of the house as if he had no bones, "Thank you, you're my most important little buddy, and my amazing soldier, do a good job, but the best way to show your gratitude now is to close the door and go home now and make me a good meal!" My stomach was growling with hunger. β
Ning Xuan laughed when he heard this, and he put away the things on the table and followed.
