Chapter 490: Cannot be reimbursed
Madam Wei smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, and she thought to herself:
Wow, so many people came to look at the ready-made clothes at once, it looks like this must be a big deal. If I’m lucky, maybe I can buy all the ready-made clothes in the shop!
So he quickly responded:
“Yes, yes, our men’s clothing is in the next room, but we don’t use the same door.
How about going over and taking a look now?"
Li Jingshu waved his hand and replied, "That's not necessary. Let my boys go and look at men's clothing by themselves. I just don't know if there are any styles suitable for children."
Madam Wei nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the clothes for the boys and girls are all here, in the inner room."
Hearing this, Li Jingshu first called Da Hu over and asked him to lead the other boys to the next room to choose men's clothes by themselves, and then come back here to pay together after they were done.
Then, she briefly introduced the hospitable Madam Wei to her sisters-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law, and then turned around and invited everyone to watch.
She took her son and daughter and walked straight towards a set of exquisite Hanfu with a clear goal.
She fell in love with this dress as soon as she entered the door.
The upper body is a two-piece suit, a deep red embroidered satin jacket, and a moon-white waistcoat. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with soft white rabbit fur, and the chest is embroidered with exquisite patterns.
The lower body is a dark red horse-faced skirt with a wide hem, showing the beauty of elegance.
The skirt is also embroidered with intricate butterfly patterns, which echo the upper body. It must be particularly festive when worn by this girl.
"Hey, try this one on. It will go perfectly with your red embroidered sports shoes. It will definitely look good on you."
The embroidered sports shoes were made by Sister Daya and Sister Taohua according to the drawings she drew. It just so happened that the color of the shoes was similar to that of the skirt.
After Shen Youyou tried the clothes on, she found that they were indeed suitable, except that they were a little too wide around the waist. The shopkeeper immediately sent someone to make alterations to them.
But the price is really not cheap, nearly twenty taels of silver for one set.
However, since the money was given by her mother, she didn't feel bad about not spending her own money, and Li Jingshu was not stingy when buying clothes for her daughter.
I chose another one.
The upper body is a moon-white satin gown with a high neckline and lotus patterns embroidered on the edges. There are two ties on the lapels, which are also embroidered with delicate patterns and have small tassels hanging at the ends.
The sleeves are wide, with lotus patterns on the cuffs, and underneath is a pink horse-faced skirt.
It is embroidered with floral patterns, with pink lotus flowers half-hidden among the green branches and leaves, and blue water waves with distinct layers.
It does look good, but Shen Youyou feels that it does not suit her temperament at all. Moreover, this dress is more expensive, costing twenty-five taels.
In fact, she didn't want to buy this, but her mother wanted it, and she even brought out her milk and said to her mother:
"My grandma only gave me ten taels of silver. You spent so much, but no one reimbursed you."
As a result, the woman's mother rolled her eyes at her and said, "Who asked you to reimburse me? You can buy whatever you want with the ten taels of silver. I will pay for the clothes, but you must wear them."
In order to let Shen Youyou wear women's clothes, Li Jingshu really went all out. The two sets of clothes together cost almost fifty taels.
Since she could buy whatever she wanted with the money her grandmother gave her, she went straight to the men's clothing section. She had already bought two sets of women's clothing, so it wouldn't be too much to use the ten taels to buy a set of men's clothing!
As a result, she fell in love with the whole outfit as soon as she entered, it was really beautiful.
This outfit is similar to the Tang Dynasty's long robe and outer shirt style. The top is a red robe with a high neckline and the overall look is very slim.
Wear a double-sided gown on the outside. I don't know how these ancient embroiderers made it. The gown can be worn on both sides, and there are no visible threads.
One side is still moon white, while the other side is decorated with blue and red patterns, adding a sense of layering and sophistication.
A black belt is tied around the waist. The design of the belt is simple and elegant, which plays a good tightening role and makes the overall shape more neat.
Even Shen Youyou, who has watched countless costume TV dramas, was impressed by it and could imagine how beautiful it was.
Unfortunately, she can't wear it because of her body shape.
But if I buy this piece of clothing for my dad, wouldn’t it be a bit too flashy?
When I asked the price, it was more expensive than the women's dress.
But her two dresses were expensive because they were intricately embroidered, but this one had no embroidery at all, and the pattern was made of the silk itself.
She looked at her brothers and said, "Hey guys, can you please stop living like this?"
"Brothers, the New Year is coming soon, don't look at those cotton clothes, buy some satin clothes so you can wear them when you go out."
Her elder brother Dabao was the first to say, "Sister, the cheapest silk costs less than ten taels."
Shen Youyou was speechless: "Didn't I give each of you fifty taels, and the wages for making plastic bottles, plastic bags, and plastic tents, add up to nearly a hundred taels, right?"
Erbao also grumbled, "You can't spend even one tenth of it all at once, right?"
"Brother Erbao, it's okay for you to be frugal at your age, but Brother Dabao, you guys are all about to get married. Clothes make the man, and how can you get married if you don't spend money on clothes?"
This made them blush again, but after she persuaded them with her eloquence for nearly a quarter of an hour, everyone bought a silk one this time.
Money is a bastard, you can earn more after spending it, this has always been her life motto, so she bought that expensive dress.
She also chose a blue satin robe with dark patterns for her. When the time comes, her father can match these three pieces of clothing to make four sets of clothes. It cost a total of forty taels.
It’s equivalent to ten taels for a set of clothes, which is a good deal.
This time in the ready-made clothing shop, I basically bought satin, but some people were reluctant to buy ready-made clothes, so they bought silk and planned to make them themselves at home.
However, Sister Daya, Sister Erya, and Sister Taohua were very considerate. They each bought a dress with a similar style to Shen Youyou's, but without so many embroidery. The dress weighed about 13 or 14 taels.
Li Jingshu also selected two children's robes for Shen Luming, which were also matched with black belts in the middle.
Of course, her husband Shen Youyou bought it with her own money, and she also picked out one for Li Quan, Old Lady Hua, and Old Man Shen.
The one worn by old lady Hua is the most expensive, because it comes with a satin cape, and the whole outfit is dark green, which is particularly dignified and elegant.
The outfit she chose for herself and the one Shen Youyou chose for Shen Zhiqiu looked like couple outfits, as they were both moon-white robes and red horse-faced skirts.
When the group came out of the clothing store, Madam Wei's face almost froze with laughter. It really happened as she had guessed before.
We had originally decided to open one more day tomorrow, but now there is no need to open it and we can just give the waiters an early holiday.
Then move to Yuzhitang.
Ever since she entered Yuzhitang, regardless of other people's expressions, Shen Youyou's eyes have been sparkling, and she is very curious about all kinds of fancy bottles and jars.
