Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 221 Luxury Goods in China

The following day, Lin Yifeng, Bai Yejin, and their group arrived at Rong Enniang's courtyard on time.

It's still the same as always.

Rong En's mother first chased Xu Qingyi and Gangzi out of the main room, then closed the door, leaving Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin inside.

"These past two days, I've done almost nothing but alter your cheongsam."

“Since the Republic of China era, Suzhou-style cheongsams have emphasized private customization. I originally thought that since you are new here, you could try on the cheongsams here directly.”

"But unfortunately, your figure is so rare. I think even Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guifei back in the day couldn't have been this good."

Rong En's mother first took credit for herself, then chuckled and praised Bai Yejin. Lin Yifeng, standing beside her, echoed her with a smile:

“Rong En’s mother, you’re absolutely right.”

“When Xiao Jin was in school, she had a nickname called Yu Huan.”

The nickname "White Leaf Hibiscus White Jade Ring" wasn't given to Bai Yejin by Lin Yifeng. This nickname had existed for a long time, and people called it "Steamed Bun Jade Ring."

Bai Yejin blushed slightly.

For her, the nickname Bai Yuhuan is a bit of a dark chapter in her past.

"Haha, it seems that my taste is the same as everyone else's."

Rong En's mother smiled. She checked the room again to make sure the doors and windows were locked before gracefully walking into the side bedroom.

In less than ten seconds, Rong Enniang came out with a Suzhou-style cheongsam.

There are four styles of cheongsam: Beijing style, Shanghai style, Suzhou style, and Cantonese style.

Among them, the Suzhou-style cheongsam is known for its gentleness, delicacy, elegance, and grace.

The cheongsam is made using the Suzhou embroidery technique. The cheongsam that Rong Enniang is holding is white in color and has many plum blossom and snowflake patterns embroidered on it, making the cheongsam more Chinese in style.

Bai Yejin's eyes lit up when she saw the cheongsam in Rong Enniang's hands. She quickly stepped forward, her eyes darting around as she looked at the cheongsam.

This white Suzhou-style cheongsam is very beautiful. Before Rong Enniang could speak, Bai Yejin couldn't wait to ask, "Enniang, may I try it on?"

"Of course, this cheongsam was custom-made for you."

With a smile, Rong Enniang handed the cheongsam to Bai Yejin, then pointed to another room and said, "That's the dressing room. You can go in and try on my plum blossom and snow-covered cheongsam."

"By the way, you should have your partner come in with you, help you, or give you a hand."

As Rong Enniang spoke, she looked at Lin Yifeng. Before Lin Yifeng could reply, Bai Yejin hurriedly waved her hand, blushing, "No need, no need, I... I... my love, I can change my clothes myself."

Changing clothes, not to say completely naked, but close enough.

Bai Yejin was naturally embarrassed to let Lin Yifeng come along, after all, Rong Enniang was an outsider here.

Lin Yifeng shrugged and didn't reply, while Rong Enniang laughed: "Miss, this must be your first time wearing a Suzhou-style cheongsam."

"Among the four major types of cheongsam, the Suzhou-style cheongsam is the delicate kind, like a woman from Jiangnan. If a person wears a Suzhou-style cheongsam, there may be some problems."

Rong En's mother gave a simple explanation and continued, "Why don't you let your husband go in and help you?"

Bai Yejin was still a little hesitant. Holding the "Plum Blossom Reflecting Snow" cheongsam, she looked at Rong Enniang and tentatively asked, "How about... Enniang, could you help me?"

Rong Enniang smiled without saying a word, so Bai Yejin could only turn to Lin Yifeng with a smile and apology: "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."

Lin Yifeng didn't hold a grudge against Bai Yejin over this matter. He nodded and followed Bai Yejin into the changing room.

The changing room was very simple, with nothing fancy or fancy.

Seeing that Lin Yifeng had locked the door, Bai Yejin was no longer as hesitant as before. She first handed the Suzhou-style cheongsam to Lin Yifeng, then turned her back and began to undress.

In front of outsiders, Bai Yejin was still quite shy and hesitant.

But she didn't care so much in front of Lin Yifeng.

The two are now just waiting to get their marriage certificate and have children.

With her fair shoulders exposed, Bai Yejin turned around and asked Lin Yifeng for a cheongsam. Even though he had enjoyed it countless times, seeing Bai Yejin like this, Lin Yifeng still felt a little passionate.

"Xiao Jin".

Lin Yifeng chuckled mischievously. Bai Yejin understood his meaning perfectly. She shook her head and whispered, "Brother, no!"

This is indeed unacceptable.

They were in Rong En's dressing room, not in the hotel.

Although Uniqlo's changing rooms are famous worldwide in later generations, in this era, especially given Bai Yejin's emotional outburst just yesterday, such a place is absolutely unacceptable.

Lin Yifeng nodded and handed the cheongsam to Bai Yejin.

The Suzhou-style cheongsam was made of very soft silk, and felt very comfortable to the touch. Bai Yejin took the cheongsam and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Brother, the fabric of this cheongsam feels so comfortable. It's in a completely different league from the fabric of other clothes."

"That's natural. Suzhou-style cheongsams are made of silk or crepe satin. In ancient times, these were high-quality silks. Even if they weren't imperial tribute, they were something only high-ranking officials and nobles could afford."

Lin Yifeng came to Bai Yejin and helped her put on the Suzhou-style cheongsam.

The cheongsam itself is not easy to wear because of its fitted design, and the Suzhou-style cheongsam is even more "fragile". If a person wears a Suzhou-style cheongsam, it is easy to get it snagged by the iron hooks inside.
