There are several brochures on the first floor, which have various styles of ready-made clothes. You can choose the fabric and then hand them over to the tailors in the shop. However, the ready-made clothes on the second floor are not for money, they are only sold to people who are destined .
"A related person?"
Li Haitang took a sip of the tea, and she couldn't find suitable clothes even if she was pregnant, so she might as well buy some fabric and let the first floor make ready-made clothes.
The first floor is highly respected by the wives and young ladies of the noble families in Kyoto. I am afraid that it is not just because of mystification. No one's money is blown by strong winds, especially those smart people.
Li Haitang rested for a while, and walked around with Zhen Shi, she saw a bright yellow dress in the corner. The cuffs of the skirt, the neckline and the seam at the waist are inlaid with a circle of fox fur.
She walked closer, observed carefully, and found that the embroidery on the clothes was not so obvious that it could only emerge when walking.
Leaving aside the style, this dress is handmade by an experienced master craftsman, and it takes at least a month to complete it. It is low-key and luxurious.
In October of the lunar calendar, Kyoto is also considered warm, and a layer of soft fur is added to the cuffs, which lifts people's temperament a bit.
Li Haitang closed her eyes, imagining that she was wearing this dress, bright and beautiful, mixed with cuteness.
She was not very interested in these ready-made clothes at first, but now she is also tempted.
"I'll just say it!"
Mrs. Zhen pulled Li Haitang aside, and said in a low voice, "Don't look at what the first floor said, it's something for those who are destined to get it. I've inquired about it, but I haven't heard of anyone getting the dress from the first floor."
Every once in a while, part of the dress will disappear and part will be replenished, giving the illusion that it has been sold.
Zhen was not reconciled, so she asked the wives she knew well around her. Everyone was eyeing the ready-to-wear on the first floor, but no one got it.
Otherwise, according to their temperament, it would have been spread out to show off.
She guessed that the owner on the first floor was a woman with a twisted heart, and she liked to use this method to tease the cat with mice, but the cat couldn't eat the mice.
I heard that a lady thought of a bad idea to steal the ready-made clothes on the first floor and resell them at a high price. Unfortunately, before she succeeded, she was captured by two female buddies who appeared from the secret and threw them into the Jingzhaoyi Yamen .
"Then how do you know if you are destined?"
Li Haitang hesitated, but she still didn't want to give up the opportunity. When she was rejected, she gave up.
It's not her style to take a fancy to a dress and give it up without trying.
"It's enough to find female buddies, they have good eyes, and you can tell if it fits the size at a glance."
Zhen Shi explained patiently, but she was not hopeful about it. So many ladies and ladies have been rejected, and I have never heard of anyone getting the ready-to-wear on the first floor.
The two were talking, and an elderly woman came out from the corner. The woman's face was covered with a black veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but her voice was like a trickle, making people listen Comfortable.
"Madam, do you have a favorite style?"
The visitor took the initiative to ask.
Li Haitang was startled by the voice, looked back, and saw the strange woman, not only covering her face, but also standing in a backlit corner of the shop, making her appearance even more unclear.
"I like this one, dunno..."
For some reason, Li Haitang had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the person in front of him. The person was extravagant, and he didn't look like an ordinary female buddy no matter what.
Mrs. Zhen was also surprised, and said in a low voice that she never knew that there was such a person on the first floor, and she was covering it up.
"This one suits you very well. You are pregnant now. You can wear this dress before the first four months."
The woman lowered her head, resisting the turmoil in her heart. After she finished speaking, she turned and entered a room in the corner, and then disappeared.
Then, a female clerk went out and packed the dress that Li Haitang had photographed, and also brought a very beautiful cloth pocket with embroidery as a gift.
"Begonia, isn't it?"
Zhen's mouth opened wide, and she couldn't believe what she saw. The female clerk really gave that dress to Li Haitang?
She pinched herself, and before she could react, the ladies on the second floor had already exploded.
I have never heard of anyone getting a ready-made garment, but they don't give up and always want to try their luck. This time, a pregnant lady got it!
Could it be that they are not because of predestined relationship, but because they have no stomach?
"Although I am not pregnant, but there is a layer of flesh on my stomach, why am I not a predestined person?"
A fat lady with big ears patted her round belly and said depressedly.
"That's right, I have a stomach too!"
The ladies and ladies present began to have bigger stomachs than anyone else, and then looked sad.
The female receptionist was speechless when asked, and they didn't know, it's normal, and they still got a negative answer, because this is the gimmick on the first floor.
The woman just now was not a buddy, but the boss on the first floor.
The owner has spoken, of course they have to be obedient, as to why Li Haitang makes an exception, no one knows.
When Li Haitang left, he harvested two sets of ready-made clothes and one bolt of the best cotton material without spending a single copper coin.
It was the first time to take advantage of this, which made her very uncomfortable.
In the afternoon, the sky became darker and darker, and the dark clouds in the distance became one piece, and it was going to rain soon.
The air was damp and cold, and it penetrated into the clothes, making people shiver unconsciously.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Haitang was still thinking about this question. It could be seen that Mrs. Zhen hadn't lied to anyone, so it didn't seem so simple for her to become a predestined person today.
Kyoto, does she have acquaintances? Or, does the original owner have any acquaintances?
Except for the Ruan family and the Yu family, the rest basically had nothing to do with it.
The woman covered with black cloth must not be young anymore. Standing in the corner with a straight body, it can be seen that she has learned good etiquette.
For some reason, Li Haitang could feel that the woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her body was trembling, and she restrained herself as much as possible.
What is the relationship between this person and her?
"Lady, put on your thick clothes, it's raining."
The cold raindrops slapped Xiao Lingchuan's face, he tightened the reins, whipped the horse's back, and hurried back to Zhuangzi.
The courtyard in the city has been repaired, but it is noisy in the city, which is not conducive to confinement, so my family has been living in Zhuangzi.
"Then I'll put on the newly bought ready-made clothes."
After Li Haitang finished speaking, she couldn't wait to open the ready-to-wear suit. She touched the soft fur around the neckline, rubbed her cheeks, and then put it on, and found that it was tailor-made for her now.
What the mysterious woman said was right, there was still a gap at the belly, that is, this dress could be worn until four months into pregnancy. It will be even colder in Kyoto in the eleventh and twelve months of the lunar calendar. At that time, she has a big belly, and it is obviously inappropriate to wear this dress.
