Xia Jiuyue finally felt at ease. If I bought two pairs for her, she would definitely not want them. She was extremely satisfied with just this pair. In addition, her sister took her with her when she learned that she had bought a cheap bracelet.
She bought a pair of jade bracelets, but she kept them at the bottom of the box and didn't dare to take them out.
When she bought it, it was twenty taels, which scared her. She bought a pair of twenty taels for herself, which made her feel a little distressed. Her eldest sister bought her a pair of twenty taels. How dare she bring it with her?
come out?
So until now, all she wears are the pair of 20-cent bracelets she bought herself.
"My guest, please take it! Here are four pairs of gold earrings, Chenghui twenty taels of silver!"
The waiter gave the earrings to Xia Qiyue and quoted a price.
Without saying a word, Xia Qiyue took out the money and gave it to the waiter in the shop, took away the earrings, and took the opportunity to put them into the space without giving them to her sister first.
Xia Jiuyue was shocked by the price. A pair of such small earrings costs five taels of silver. Why are they so expensive?
"Let's go! Why are you dazed?" Xia Qiyue greeted, knowing that her sister would definitely not want to buy any more, so she was not in a hurry, and just bought a little at a time to slowly save her sister's dowry for her two daughters.
The two little girls didn't know that their mother also bought earrings for them, so they reluctantly came out from packing the mattress.
"Mom, where are we going now?" Xiao Xuan'er waited outside with her uncle and was bored to death. Finally, she waited for her mother to come out and asked impatiently.
"Let's go to the clothing store!" Xia Qiyue looked around for the clothing store and answered her son's question casually.
Xiao Xuan'er's little head drooped. He felt that a clothing store was not a place for men.
"What's wrong? Xuan'er?" Xia Qiyue didn't hear his son's voice after answering, and looked down at his son who was being held by his younger brother's hand in confusion.
Xuan'er was seen hanging his head and looking unhappy, shaking his head in a funny way.
"Mom, brother, I don't want to buy new clothes!" Ke'er immediately answered Xia Qiyue's question to Xuan'er with a smile.
"Ah? Really?" Xia Qiyue thought of teasing her son, and cooperated with her daughter's words, "Then what should I do? You need to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, buy an extra set for Ke'er and Ling'er.
Got it!"
Xuan'er immediately quit and looked up, "Mother, Xuan'er didn't say not to buy new clothes!"
"Then why are you unhappy? You don't want to go shopping in a clothing store anymore?"
Xuan'er waved her hand, "No, no, mother, Xuan'er is so happy! Xuan'er's clothes have become too small when she has grown up. Xuan'er wants to buy new clothes..."
Well, he has grown up and his clothes have become smaller...
Xia Qiyue and Xia Yueyue laughed heartily.
The three children actually have several sets of clothes, including two sets of cotton clothes, but Xia Qiyue is still planning to buy a new set for the three of them. After finally escaping from the famine and settling here, she wants to be better for herself and her children.
So, when I was about to walk out of the market, I saw a clothing store, and I took the children into the store.
The shopkeeper here is very smooth. When he saw Xia Qiyue and his group of well-dressed customers, he dropped what he was doing and ran over to greet them.
"Do you want to buy ready-made clothes? For the children or for yourself? We have them all here!"
Xia Qiyue pointed to a rose-red jacket suit hanging on the table in the center of the store.
The overall rose red dress is hand-embroidered, with a white fox fur-edged jacket on the outside and a cotton-padded long skirt design, which is both beautiful and warm. The main part is the fox fur-edged jacket on the outside, which is dazzlingly white.
"Sir, this is the treasure of our shop. It's just like this. It's all made of fine satin. The flowers and plants on it are all embroidered stitch by stitch by the embroiderer. The fox hemming on the outside of the coat
The hair is the finest white fox hair, and our highly skilled masters handle it personally. You have really good taste!"
"Sister, you will definitely look great in this outfit!" Xia Jiuyue's eyes widened.
Xia Qiyue also fell in love with this outfit at first glance, but she felt that there was really no place to wear it. Not only during the Chinese New Year, everyone from Lao An's family came over, but she also worked after the Chinese New Year, so she wore this outfit to work.
It's not convenient either.
"Girl, you have a natural temperament. Wearing our outfit will definitely make your day even more glorious!" the shopkeeper praised again.
Xia Qiyue also liked it, so she nodded. Even if there was no place to wear it, she was happy to look at it from the bottom of the box, so she asked for the price.
"How much is this set?"
The shopkeeper was so happy when he saw that there was a way. Although this set was really good-looking, it would be difficult to sell it in their shop in this area. But the hostess was stubborn and insisted on keeping it here. She would rather
If you can't sell it, don't take it to a shop in the capital to sell it.
"Girl, this set of clothes took a lot of time to make by hand. Plus, the materials are all good. You can't buy them without fifteen taels!"
After the shopkeeper quoted the price, looking at the expression on Xia Qiyue's face, she was afraid that people would turn around and leave as soon as they heard the price.
Because most of the clothes in her shop cost less than 200 to 300 cents, and the most expensive ones are only one tael of silver. This is the treasure of the shop.
It's been here for so long. It's not that no one likes it. On the contrary, everyone who enters the shop likes it. It's just that it's too expensive and they can't afford it.
Xia Jiuyue was shocked by the price. Although her concept of money had changed a lot after her sister earned money. She couldn't see or touch money like before, but she heard that a set of clothes costs ten dollars.
After five taels, she was still frightened.
I heard grandma say that it didn’t even cost fifteen taels for my second uncle and my third uncle to marry me, which was really too expensive.
Xia Qiyue nodded, "I want it!"
The shopkeeper was stunned in disbelief. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him was so rich. She must be from the capital, right?
Are you here to observe the sentiments of the people?
No wonder the shopkeeper thinks so. Although this clothing store is just a branch in the capital, the shopkeeper is someone found locally, so he has not come into contact with many wealthy people. In addition, the shop is located near this civilian market, so it is like this.
.
"Let's look at the other items!" Xia Qiyue ignored the shopkeeper and took her sister and children inside to look at other ready-made clothes.
Although she bought a fifteen-tael set of ready-made clothes, she couldn't wear them every day, so she still wanted to buy a set of ready-made clothes suitable for daily wear, so she took her sister and the two of them to choose for a long time.
I chose a navy blue cotton robe for Xuan'er and a sky blue cotton robe for Xia Xinghe.
My two daughters wear pink coats and skirts, I also wear purple coats and skirts, and my sister chose a set of green coats and skirts.
The total of the six sets of clothes was less than five taels of silver. Including the most valuable set, it only cost nineteen taels of silver.
But the shopkeeper is extremely happy today. Unexpectedly, this set of sky-high price clothes was actually sold on the last day of business.
The shop will be closed tomorrow and the New Year is coming, but she can still have such a good thing happen.
Xia Xinghe held all the clothes in one hand and held Xuan'er's little hand in the other. After walking down the street, the three children wanted to try everything they saw.
In the end, I bought a lot of snacks, such as honey, candied haws, various pastries, osmanthus cake, cloud cake, and there was a shop selling sour plum soup on the street. Xia Qiyue and her children bought a lot more.
