Chapter 216: Cheongsam Again
Chapter 216: Cheongsam Again
The pedestrian street in the old city can barely be considered an internet-famous street in Shanghai. It is the first choice for shopping for middle- and low-income families in Shanghai. The mall has a wide variety of shops and everything you need.
Tang An Ning held his junior high school sister in one hand and Luo Baozhu in the other, and walked towards Xiexianju.
The younger sister carefully felt the older sister's delicate and soft fingers and her face turned red.
"Little sister, are you and your brother hungry?"
Luo Baozhu suddenly asked.
The younger sister was stunned for a moment, looked at her brother, and then shook her head.
They had just eaten three hours ago, so they were not hungry.
Luo Baozhu said, "Why don't we go shopping for a while? I remember there is a cheongsam shop here that has been open for hundreds of years. My grandmother made cheongsams here."
"cheongsam?"
Tang An Ning thought of the cheongsams she had custom-made before. After her enthusiasm for cheongsams wore off, she never wore them again. She had custom-made more than a dozen cheongsams, but less than half of them had never been worn.
When Luo Baozhu mentioned it today, Tang An Ning actually became interested in cheongsam again.
"Let's go and take a look."
Without saying anything, Tang An Ning pulled her junior high school sister and Luo Baozhu towards the store that Luo Baozhu mentioned.
The younger sister's brother consciously took on the task of carrying the bags, and naturally took over his sister's bag and Tang Anning's bag. Luo Baozhu didn't bring any bag at all, and his cell phone was out of battery, so it was obvious that he was planning to take advantage of Tang Anning's bag.
Tang An Ning was also happy to let her friend take a look. The three of them walked into the store. The name of this cheongsam shop was very interesting, it was called "Qibao". The two gold-plated "Qibao" characters were placed outside the door, which was very conspicuous.
[Ah, I know this store! My mother ordered this cheongsam when she got married! Now I have slightly changed the pattern and it can still be worn everyday! I have worn it for nearly 20 years and it has not deformed or anything like that! The quality is very good! ]
[I know, I know! A certain star wore this brand on the red carpet before! My god, it's so beautiful! It turns out that the store of this brand is here! ]
[People in the northwest are really envious. If they want to wear a good cheongsam, they have to travel all the way to the south! ]
[Uh, my sister-in-law also ordered from this store when she got married, and I plan to order from this store when I get married too. Can I say that this store is really beautiful and of good quality, but the price is also expensive! ]
[In fact, I personally feel that it is pretty good. Some cheongsams from popular online brands are far inferior to this one and are more expensive than this one. ]
While people were discussing curiously in the barrage, Tang An Ning pulled the two of them into the store.
This store is antique and has a special design that allows light from outside to shine in. With the addition of some footlights at the footrests, it does not have the dark feel typical of ancient buildings and appears bright.
As soon as we entered the door, the tall receptionist wearing a water red cheongsam came up to us and asked, "Are you here to see the cheongsam?"
Tang An Ning nodded: "Is there anything ready-made that we can wear?"
The female receptionist took a look at the figures of the three people. Tang Anning, Luo Baozhu and Xiaoxuemei were all tall and slim. The female receptionist knew which ones these three people could wear after just two quick glances.
The female receptionist carefully observed what Tang An Ning and Luo Baozhu were wearing, and she knew what grade of cheongsam to get for the three of them.
So the female receptionist took the four people up to the second floor, and then came in with people pushing a row of cheongsams.
"Three girls, do you like any of these cheongsams?"
The female receptionist asked with a smile.
Tang An Ning swiped her phone, looked up, and pointed: "Pick out the aqua green one for me."
Luo Baozhu fell in love with a rose pink dress at first sight. Junior sister hesitated a little. Tang Anning said, "Why don't you try the light yellow one? It should suit you very well."
The junior high school girl followed the direction of Tang An Ning's finger and saw the light yellow cheongsam. Her eyes almost turned into heart shapes. The three of them took the cheongsams and went to change.
The first one to come out was the junior high school girl.
The junior high school girl looked at herself in the mirror again and again, and felt that this cheongsam was born for her. She planned to ask the price later and buy it if she could afford it.
After a while, Tang Anning and Luo Baozhu also came out.
Tang An Ning is the tallest of the three. The well-cut cheongsam brings out her curves perfectly. Not to mention Luo Baozhu, who is a cat-like beauty. She looks even more like an immortal in the cheongsam.
Tang Anning glanced at Luo Baozhu, then at her junior high school sister, let down her long hair that had been tied into a low ponytail, picked up the comb beside her and simply tidied her hair, then tied it into a high bun. A few strands of hair fell on both sides of her ears, which looked very beautiful.
Tang Anning opened the dressing table beside her with familiarity, simply darkened her eyebrows, and did not put on any makeup anywhere else. She then fumbled inside her dressing box and found a green crystal hairpin, which she simply pinned on the left side.
Luo Baozhu was still fixing her smoky pink curly hair. Tang Anning couldn't bear to see it, so he reached out and fixed Luo Baozhu's hair.
Luo Baozhu's hairstyle is similar to wheat ear curls. Tang An Ning thought about it and just half-tied her hair up and made it into a kitten ear, which looked smart and playful.
After fixing Luo Baozhu's hair with a hairpin beside her, Tang An Ning turned his attention to his junior high school girl.
The younger sister also imitated Tang An Ning and tied her hair into a bun. She looked cute and playful. She turned around and asked her brother, "Brother, does this look good on me?"
My junior high school sister’s brother said that it was beautiful while calculating whether his pocket money and savings were enough to buy the cheongsam.
After admiring them for a while, Tang An Ning and the others changed two more pieces, and finally decided to take the three pieces that they had initially liked.
"Have you three chosen?"
The female receptionist walked in with a smile.
Tang An Ning hummed: "Let's pay the bill."
As he spoke, he took out a card.
The female receptionist took out a card machine with a smile on her face and asked: "Ladies, would you like to take only the cheongsam or the whole set?"
A full set refers to the cheongsam, bag and high heels.
"A full set, help us match it up."
Tang An Ning spoke, then swiped the card.
The receptionist smiled and said, "Okay, ladies, this aqua green outfit you're wearing is 66,000 yuan, this rose pink outfit is 50,000 yuan, and this pale yellow outfit is also 50,000 yuan."
As soon as the words fell, the younger sister and her brother were shocked.
Before the brother and sister could react, Tang An Ning swiped the card and entered the password.
"Ah, no thanks!"
The junior schoolmate quickly stopped Tang An Ning: "I'm sorry, senior sister, I didn't know this cheongsam was so expensive, I don't want it..."
Tang An Ning smiled and pinched her junior's round face: "Don't you like it very much? It's okay, I bought it for you. It's just a cheongsam, it's not something expensive."
Tang Aining finished entering the password.
