Chapter 359 Peep Show and Chiffon Skirt
The night before the new goods were put on the shop, Cui Chaoyong went out of his way to find his wife.
He is encouraging his wife to take her family members to buy ready-made clothes.
"If you think the size is not suitable, you can ask the children to pick some suitable ones..."
"I am now in charge of the Household Department, and the court's business is also my Household Department's business."
"The fact that you are willing to wear those clothes is also the attitude of my Cui family."
Mrs. Cui Chaoyong gave Cui Chaoyong an angry look: "In this case, why do you need your personal instructions?"
Cui Chaoyong was so angry at this look that he laughed: "It's true that I underestimated Madam..."
The female members of the Cui family left in a majestic manner, with the mistress's instructions swirling in their hearts, giving them a sense of heroism.
If they look at the clothes for a while and they don't look good, they must show a satisfied look.
Everyone needs to pick a few pieces, and then they can go out without wearing them...
When they prepared themselves mentally and arrived at a state-run street, what they saw was the scene of women queuing in place of their masters.
The long queue and the carriages parked at the side made the Cui family members suddenly feel: things are different from what they imagined...
There were already many female relatives coming out from the front.
Looking at their expressions, they are all satisfied and excited.
Looking at them again, the Cui family members were all shocked.
The clear and elegant fabrics, complex and exquisite patterns, and pleasing colors... all make people's eyes light up when they look at it!
So pretty!
The young concubine was envious and afraid: "A set of clothes like this isn't cheap, is it?"
The young lady who had just come out looked over after hearing this, and smiled when she realized that it was a female member of the Cui family.
"It turns out to be Miss Cui! Don't worry, you will definitely be able to afford it!"
Not only Miss Cui heard this, but also the other ladies and ladies before and after her.
Even a concubine can afford it, so the price must not be too expensive? !
Everyone couldn’t help but look forward to it even more!
When it was finally the Cui family's turn to go in, they looked at the matching sets of skirts on the wall, and their eyes flashed with surprise: "This is so beautiful..."
There are female shopkeepers and female waiters in the shop greeting customers.
Not only can these clothes be taken down and looked at, but a try-on service is also provided.
There are many small rooms inside, which provide tea and snacks. Each room is served by a dedicated female shopkeeper.
The female shopkeeper brought some clothes and fabrics to the ladies to select based on their needs, body shape, skin color, and temperament.
They admired the full-length mirror as tall as a person.
They knew such a big mirror: there was one in the palace.
But the aristocratic family is not that big.
Looking at their own figures and looks in the mirror, the ladies and ladies of the Cui family all showed longing.
Not to mention anything else, the height of the full-length mirror needs to be adjusted! ?
They pointed to the full-length mirror and asked: "How much does a peep mirror like this cost?"
The female shopkeeper smiled and replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have good taste. This kind of diorama is bigger, clearer and not deformed than the ones sold before..."
"This mirror also has supports. It can be placed directly on the ground and moved at will. It's really good..."
The shopkeeper smiled and replied: "A mirror like this costs three thousand taels of silver, and it requires a reservation."
As soon as he said this, there were several gasps in the room.
Three thousand taels of silver? !
The combined wealth of ordinary people does not amount to this amount!
No wonder only the palace can afford it...
Mrs. Cui Chaoyong tried to keep her expression calm, but she was still curious in her heart: "Are many people booking this mirror?"
The female shopkeeper smiled and replied: "This morning, four or five people have already booked to go out..."
Five?
That’s more than ten thousand taels of silver!
The female members of the Cui family took a breath of cold air again.
Mrs. Cui weighed it in her mind: "Then let's decide on one..."
Everyone looked eager: Only one? They all want one...
But they also know that such an expensive mirror is not worthy of their status. Mrs. Cui's wife looked into the eyes of all the female family members, and a slight smile flashed in her eyes.
"After taking the mirror home, put it in Chunjing Pavilion. If everyone wants to look in the mirror, they will go to Chunjing Pavilion."
Chunjing Pavilion is the place where the Cui family conducts daily activities and entertains their female relatives.
If the mirror is placed there, the female relatives will often go to Chunjing Pavilion to meet their sisters and sisters-in-law in order to look in the mirror.
When we meet, we have to exchange a few words, right?
Over time, it will help enhance communication and harmony among family members.
"Thank you, madam."
"Thank you, mother..."
As soon as I walked in, I didn’t even buy any clothes, I spent three thousand taels first...
With this luxurious mirror base, and looking at the price of the clothes, they feel - it's just a bargain!
Such an elegant and beautiful dress only costs fifteen taels of silver?
Isn't this too cheap?
Mrs. Cui glanced at the eager female relatives and waved her hand: "You can just buy it! You are not restricted today..."
The female relatives who had extra money immediately started shouting.
"I want to see this set."
"I want to see that one..."
How can a female shopkeeper be able to give orders?
One room is also equipped with two female waiters responsible for picking up goods and clothes...
Fortunately, the prints were rich enough and the colors were plenty, and soon everyone picked out a good-looking skirt.
When they stood in front of the full-length mirror wearing beautiful and flowing skirts and turned around, looking around, they were also attracted by their own appearance...
This skirt is so beautiful - it makes me look pink and tender.
The Cui family's granddaughter is only thirteen years old, which is the age when her sister loves to be pretty.
She was very satisfied with the skirt she was wearing. She looked at it again and again in front of the mirror and couldn't help but ask: "Does this skirt have the same style and color?"
The female shopkeeper explained with a smile: "The price of this skirt is not high, so there is no way it is the only one in Beijing..."
"If you want to be more unique, you can ask your needlework lady to embroider on it."
"That would be unique."
"Of course, if you don't make any modifications and your appearance and temperament are as outstanding as Miss Cui's, you won't be afraid of comparison..."
When the little girl heard this, she raised her chin proudly: "That's natural!"
After imagining the scene where the daughter of aristocratic family wearing such clothes, the little girl nodded confidently: "Grandma, I want this one..."
Mrs. Cui smiled and nodded: "Okay. You all have a choice..."
If such a cheap dress is reserved for a major banquet, there is no need.
The noble ladies and ladies walked out of the small room directly in their beautiful dresses.
Facing all kinds of envious looks, the Cui family members finally felt the mood of those young ladies and ladies just now.
So proud.
Our new clothes can be worn even when visiting guests!
There is no way, we have money, so we don’t have to be so cautious...
Of course, they also bought a second set, and they will just wear it when meeting guests in the future...
If it were normal, Xiao Yingchun would go to the shop to have a look.
But with the danger warning, she didn't dare to go. She could only feel the popularity of the store from the report.
"...I have ordered twenty floor-standing dioramas, and the clothing shop's income today is more than 132,000 taels..."
Xiao Yingchun looked at the guard who reported the report in surprise: "Why are there so many?"
"Didn't you say it was sold very cheaply?"
The personal guard was also surprised by this question and asked the female shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper said it's because the clothes are cheap and ordinary people can afford them at home..."
Clothes cost several hundred taels, and ordinary rich people would be reluctant to buy them even if they had a little money.
They have no pressure to buy clothes worth more than ten taels of silver...
As for the richest families, because they are cheap, they can buy more casually: as long as they like it, they don’t have to worry about buying too much.
