Chapter 553: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (92)
Not long after they arrived at the VIP room, they saw a female clerk from a store walk in with a tray.
The tray was covered with a red silk cloth.
The female clerk first bowed to a few people, then placed the tray on a high platform on the side, and then carefully unveiled the red silk.
The red silk is also red underneath.
The female clerk introduced solemnly: "This dragon and phoenix skirt is usually made of red silk with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on it, which symbolizes good luck and a happy marriage."
Su Xiang blushed when she heard this, but she didn't let the salesgirl continue. Instead, she quickly stepped forward, picked up the wedding dress from the tray and said, "I'd better try it myself!"
Before the female clerk entered the store, the boss had already told her which of these people was the owner of the wedding dress, so she nodded and said, "Miss, please follow me to the fitting room next door. I will help you change your clothes. This dress is a bit cumbersome to put on."
Su Xiangran did not reject the other party's kindness, but accepted it gladly and followed her into the next room.
The changing process took quite a long time, but apart from Song Seung-kyung who seemed a little nervous and expectant, no one else seemed to have any special feelings.
Finally, when Su Xiangran reappeared in front of everyone in gorgeous clothes, Song Chengjing instantly understood why she chose the traditional dragon and phoenix cheongsam as her wedding dress.
The skirt is well-cut and wide, perfectly outlining Su Xiangran's graceful figure.
The jacket on the upper body is of double-breasted style with wide cuffs and exquisite auspicious patterns embroidered on it.
The most eye-catching core pattern of this cheongsam - the auspicious dragon and phoenix - is embroidered with gold and silver threads. The details of the dragon scales and phoenix feathers are clearly visible, making it look lifelike as if it were a living thing.
Not only that, this dress is also inlaid with pearls, gems and other dazzling accessories in many places, making the whole dress even more dazzling.
Only a beauty like Su Xiangran can match such a gorgeous wedding dress.
In comparison, those so-called trendy and fashionable wedding dresses will pale in comparison and appear too bland at this moment.
Wu Wenyue was the first to come back to her senses. She smacked her lips and said, "Master Song, the jewels on this wedding dress must be worth a lot of money! Is it necessary to hang these things on a piece of clothing?"
"It's not that bad actually." Song Chengjing said nonchalantly, "These things have been in my private vault for a long time. I didn't have much use for them before. Xiaoran happened to need them for her wedding room, so I took them here. Actually, I just paid for the labor."
"Tsk tsk! You are so careless to put so many good things in your clothing store." Wu Wenyue lectured in the tone of an elder.
The female clerk frowned slightly, but still explained in a dignified manner: "Madam, please rest assured. Our store often customizes skirts for customers. Many of these jewelry are brought by customers themselves. We have to complete the handover procedures when you come in and out."
Upon hearing this, Wu Wenyue became unhappy. A small clerk dared to refute her, and her face immediately became even uglier.
"Okay, sister-in-law! My son-in-law is not worried, so you can put your mind at ease!" Cao Wanning saw Wu Wenyue being humiliated by the clerk and was willing to help her, "What's your name?
We need to make some clothes for a party, what can you recommend?
"My name is Xiaofang." The saleswoman said quickly when she heard that she had a job. "Please wait a moment. I will go get the fabric and style book."
Su Xiangran felt helpless. This man left her behind as soon as he saw that there was business. She was about to get up and go to the next room to change out of her wedding dress, but Song Chengjing stopped her: "Wear it for a while! It looks good."
Although Cao Wanning was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of his daughter and future son-in-law, he felt that there were "other people" after all, so he deliberately coughed a few times as if to remind them to pay attention to the impact.
Su Xiangran's face turned even redder at the cough, because Song Chengjing not only did not restrain himself, but even grabbed her hand and symbolically "encircled" her in his arms.
However, this sweet atmosphere did not last long, because the clerk came in soon, accompanied by two other female clerks.
They not only had fabrics and booklets, but also some samples that had already been made.
"Sir, I'm so sorry. I forgot to take you to change clothes first." Xiaofang realized her mistake and apologized awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's the same whether we go now or not." Su Xiangran withdrew her hand and asked Xiaofang to take her to the next room to change out of her wedding dress.
Xiaofang folded the wedding dress and put it back on the tray, then covered it with red silk again.
Then several shop assistants took turns showing the people some of the more popular dress styles and some of the better-selling fabrics.
As in the past, Su Xiangran still chose a cheongsam, but this time the cheongsam was made of velvet and was a tight-fitting style.
Xie Wanru always chooses white gauze Western-style dresses.
Wu Wenyue and Cao Wanning also chose cheongsams, but theirs were the loose kind.
After the clothes were decided, several people left the clothing store.
Wu Wenyue watched her sister-in-law and her group leave the store, then returned to the store and ordered a cheongsam that was exactly the same as Su Xiangran's in size, style and color.
Of course, this matter was done behind the back of her daughter-in-law Xie Wanru. At that time, she asked the other party to wait for her in the car, saying that she had left something behind and had to go back to the store.
