Chapter 982: Omnivorous
It didn't take long for Ophelia to get into Doolin's car, and they needed to get some things ready for next week's engagement ceremony, such as an engagement ring.
In fact, the frequency of engagement rings in this society is not high, and the spending power of the working class limits their spending on engagement, and most of them will use wedding rings at the engagement ceremony instead of engagement rings to use first, and then wear them again at the wedding ceremony.
But the aristocracy is a rigid group, they always don't know how to be flexible in many things, of course, it is also possible that this immutability is one of the ways they show themselves to be different in this society where there is no aristocracy and no class, so some things in the engagement ceremony are particularly important.
For example, this engagement ring, which is not used in most engagements.
There were many jewelry shops in the imperial capital, some of which were only open to the aristocracy, and most of the operators of these jewelry shops were dedicated to serving the aristocracy for several generations, and even longer, they became a special service class that was not considered an aristocratic class, but was higher than the commoner class.
Serving the aristocracy improved their social status, which was also the foundation of their survival, so even if they entered a new era and a new society, they would still not be open to ordinary people.
This time they went to such a jewelry store, the door is not large, hanging the statue and signboard of the founder, and after pushing the door in, it is not necessarily as luxurious as those jewelry stores open to the public, but it looks a little simple.
There were display cases hanging on three walls, and there were not many special jewelry displays in them, and an old craftsman sat behind the counter, and when the doorbell rang, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Dear guests, welcome to the Ospel jewelry store, what kind of service do you two need?"
After Durin and Ophelia sat down in the room, Dohrin said, "We needed an engagement ring for the engagement ceremony, and they said I could get what I needed here." โ
The old man bowed slightly, the weather was already very hot at this time, even if there was a cold circulation system in the room, the temperature of the room was twenty-three, four-five degrees, but he was wearing a full set of regular clothes, there were four sets inside and out, his hair was also meticulously combed, and the shiny scalp outside the hairline of the great retreat could reflect the golden decoration on the ceiling.
"This is the recognition of my distinguished guests, Mr. Dulin, Miss Ophelia, please take a look at this ......album first", he took out two albums from the cabinet on the side and handed them to the two, now the entire imperial capital to buy a central and northern part of the empire is discussing this marriage, it is impossible not to know these two people, not to mention that Doulin spent 10 million to get an angel charity fund, which made Ophelia the most jealous object of many girls in the empire in an instant.
Dรผhrin opened the catalogue that the shopkeeper had given him, and there were many different engagement rings of all kinds, each with different bodies, the only similarity being the huge gems.
The word enormous is very accurate, and the smallest of the books has a gem the size of a quail egg, and it is also famous on that page, which is the ring used by a Viscount of the Empire and a certain noble lady on a certain day, month, and year.
If you look at it bigger, there are also some rings ordered by the dukes, each of which is the size of an egg, and Durin is a little curious and wears this thing...... Won't you get tired?
He glanced at Ophelia, who was in high spirits, and thought that he should not be tired.
The two of them put down the album after reading many pages, and to be honest, the things on it are very beautiful, but almost most of them are ordered by others, which is not very good, and it also makes the two a little strange why they came up with such a picture album.
At this time, the shopkeeper who had been waiting quietly for a long time explained, "The engagement rings in these albums are from our store, and while letting you know the history of the store, it is also to give you a deep understanding of the engagement ring, and then we will tailor a most suitable engagement ring for the beautiful lady according to your needs." โ
What followed was a drawing lesson, with Durin and Ophelia making requests, and the shopkeeper quickly sketching them out and making changes. Finally, after about forty minutes of revisions, the style of the engagement ring was finally decided.
The body of the ring will be made of white gold and gold to form the outline of the leaves of the Love Tree, a plant endemic to the southern part of the Empire, which is not actually "one" or "one", but is naturally developed from two completely different plants.
Some biologists have revealed the essence of the love tree - it is an ordinary plant and a parasitic plant that cannot be associated with love.
However, the market does not accept this truth, people prefer to believe that this is a special plant that can only exist in both places, and that the other will wither quickly without either side, and are willing to believe that people's love will be like this love tree, forever entwined, regardless of each other.
In the ring, a multicolored gemstone is set with six different colored gemstones that are bonded and polished by a special process, and in the words of the owner, this engagement ring symbolizes the beauty of love.
For this reason, Du Lin needs to pay a custom fee of 30,000 yuan, love is a real luxury!
Since engagement rings are made here, wedding rings and a series of matching accessories are also made here.
More than an hour later, Du Lin stood at the door of the store and couldn't help but look back, in less than two hours, this jewelry store snatched almost 200,000 yuan from his hands in the name of love, he had a delusion, was he robbed?
Of course, this money was not too deep for Ophelia, because the dignity of the nobles was often reflected in the details, and it was impossible for them to hang a gold chain of three or five gold to show off in the market.
However, in some details that are often overlooked, there are trinkets worth dozens of catties of gold that low-key highlight the wearer's noble identity.
As the owner said, wedding rings need to be low-key luxury, and married life is like that, closer to the essence. In order to wear a wedding ring on different occasions without looking too obtrusive, it is natural to wear a series of accessories that can complement the wedding ring on your finger.
As big as a corsage, as small as a cufflink, the same style, the same style, the same artistic source, every trinket requires a terrible design fee.
Why is there always so many people in the Royal Academy, because knowledge can really sell money!
The rest of the day became happy and laid-back, and Durin took Ophelia on a trip to an amusement park.
Since Durin became popular at the movie theme park in the 8th arrondissement, amusement parks everywhere have added the "theme" thing, from car theme amusement parks to call theme amusement parks, in short, tourists are very addicted to this set now.
In the imperial capital, there is also a theme amusement park, but it does not have a serious theme, on the contrary, it is very joyful, because this amusement park is controlled by Doolin.
After the success of the movie theme amusement park in the eighth district, he immediately bought a piece of land outside the imperial capital for the construction of an amusement park, which has nothing to do with the heavy weight, it is all some light things.
It was Ophelia's first time at the amusement park, and just standing at the door already made her impatient, and Durin looked at her with some sympathy, being born in a big family is not necessarily all good things, and there are sad things.
"We ...... Can you go in and play for a while?", Ophelia thought that Durin was just passing by, and she begged pitifully, "just for a while!"
The aristocracy was very strict with girls who did not reach adulthood, and for the commoners the children were considered adults when they were sixteen, but the girls in the nobility were not considered true adults until they were twenty years old, even if they had completed the rite of passage at the age of sixteen.
In fact, this strict attitude can be said to be impersonal, because there are always a few noble ladies with few brains and commoners in history who ran away, and this kind of "ugly thing" that corrupts the style of the door seriously damages the dignity and image of the nobles, so before the age of twenty, you want to go to a crowded place to play with the commoners?
Hehe!
Durin looked at his watch, then nodded, "Of course, it is the duty of every gentleman to make a beautiful girl happy." โ
"Great, you're the best!", Ophelia waved her forearm excitedly, she pulled Durin and broke into the amusement park, and then shuttled through the various large amusement machines, watching the crowd scream excitedly......
If someone asks you if you want to get excited, it doesn't mean that you're rude, or that the other person wants to beat you up, they just want to ask you if you want to go to an amusement park.
You tell him, "Yes, that's what I think, do you want to be thrilled too" so that the other party can understand your true intentions and avoid misunderstandings.
Spending money to find excitement is the most attractive part of the amusement park, from the beginning of entering the park there are screams everywhere, which makes Ophelia nervously hold Durin's hand, like a little squirrel sticking her head out to look around, looking at this and that.
After experiencing a pirate ship with a bloodless face, Ophelia felt that this place might not be as fun as she imagined, it was terrifying!
"You know what? my hair was flying just now, it's horrible, why is there such a game here?", she patted her throbbing chest, "My heart is about to jump out!"
Durin said with some regret, "Your clothes are in the way, I can't see it." โ
Ophelia was stunned for a moment, glared at Durin angrily with the girl's amorous charm, and ran out ...... laughing.
