Chapter 359: Peep Show and Chiffon Skirt

The night before the new goods were put on the shop, Cui Chaoyong went to see his wife specifically.

He encouraged his wife to take the female family members to buy ready-made clothes.

"If you think the size is not right, you can ask the children to pick some suitable ones..."

"I am now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the court's business is also the responsibility of my Ministry of Revenue."

"Your willingness to wear those clothes is also the attitude of my Cui family."

Mrs. Cui Chaoyong glared at Cui Chaoyong and said, "Why do you need to personally tell me this?"

Cui Chaoyong laughed out loud at this look: "It was I who underestimated Madam..."

The women of the Cui family left in a mighty procession, with the mistress's instructions churning in their hearts, and they felt a sense of heroism.

If they find the clothes ugly after a while, they will definitely show a satisfied look.

I want everyone to pick a few pieces, so they don’t have to wear them out later…

When they were mentally prepared and arrived at a state-owned street, what they saw was a scene of old women queuing on behalf of their masters.

The long procession and the carriages that pulled up to the side in a flash made the Cui family women suddenly feel that things were not as they had imagined...

Many women had already come out from the front.

Looking at their expressions, they are all filled with satisfaction and joy.

Looking at them again, the women of the Cui family were all stunned.

The clear and flowing fabric, the intricate and exquisite patterns, the pleasing colors...all make people feel bright when looking at them!

So beautiful!

The young bastard was envious and afraid: "A dress like this is not cheap, is it?"

The young lady who had just come out looked over when she heard this, and smiled when she found that it was a member of the Cui family.

"So it's Miss Cui! Don't worry, you can definitely afford it!"

Not only Miss Cui heard this, but all the other young ladies and ladies who came before and after her also heard it.

If even a concubine's daughter can afford it, then the price must not be too expensive? !

Everyone couldn't help but look forward to it even more!

Finally it was the turn of the young ladies and wives of the Cui family to go in. Looking at the matching dresses on the wall, they were all amazed: "These are so beautiful..."

The shop was full of female shopkeepers and female shop assistants greeting customers.

Not only can these clothes be taken down and viewed, but a try-on service is also provided.

There are many small rooms inside, which provide tea and snacks. Each room has a dedicated female manager to serve.

The female shopkeeper brought some clothes and fabrics for the ladies to choose from according to their needs, figure, skin color and temperament.

The dressing mirror as tall as a person amazed them.

They knew there was a mirror this big: there was one in the palace.

But the noble families don’t have such a big one.

Looking at their own figures and appearances in the mirror, the ladies of the Cui family all showed their desire.

Apart from anything else, the height of this dressing mirror needs to be adjusted! ?

They pointed at the dressing mirror and asked, "How much is a peep show like this?"

The female shopkeeper smiled and replied: "Ladies and ladies, you have good taste. This peep show is bigger, clearer, and not distorted than the ones we sold before..."

"This mirror has a support, so it can be placed directly on the ground and moved at will. It's really good..."

The shopkeeper smiled and replied, "A mirror like this costs three thousand taels of silver, and it needs to be pre-ordered."

As soon as these words were spoken, several gasps were heard in the room.

Three thousand taels of silver? !

Even if all the assets of an ordinary family were added together, they wouldn’t amount to this much!

No wonder only the palace can afford it...

Mrs. Cui Chaoyong tried to keep her expression calm, but she was still curious: "Have many people reserved this mirror?"

The female shopkeeper smiled and replied, "Four or five have already been booked this morning..."

Five?

That’s more than ten thousand taels of silver!

The women of the Cui family gasped again.

Mrs. Cui weighed the pros and cons in her mind: "Then let's also order one..."

Everyone showed a look of longing: Just one? They all wanted one...

But they also knew that their status was not worthy of such an expensive mirror.

Mrs. Cui took in the gazes of all the female family members and a faint smile flashed across her eyes.

"After you take the mirror home, put it in Chunjing Pavilion. If you want to look in the mirror in the future, go to Chunjing Pavilion."

Chunjing Pavilion is where the Cui family conducts daily activities and entertains female family members.

If a mirror was placed there, the women would go to Chunjing Pavilion more often to meet their sisters and sisters-in-law in order to look in the mirror.

When we meet, we always have to exchange a few pleasantries, right?

Over time, it will help enhance communication and harmony among family members.

"Thank you ma'am."

"Thank you, mother..."

As soon as I entered the house, I spent three thousand taels before buying any clothes...

With this luxurious mirror as a backdrop, when they looked at the prices of the clothes, they felt that they were simply dirt cheap!

Such a beautiful and flowing dress only costs fifteen taels of silver?

Isn’t this too cheap?

Mrs. Cui looked at the women who were eager to try and waved her hand: "Go ahead and buy! You won't be restricted today..."

The women who had extra money immediately started clamoring.

"I want to see this set."

"I want to see that set..."

How can a female shopkeeper give orders?

There were two female waiters in each room who were responsible for picking up the goods and taking the clothes...

Fortunately, the prints were rich enough and the colors were varied enough, so soon everyone picked out a nice dress.

When they stood in front of the dressing mirror in beautiful flowing skirts and turned around, looking left and right, they were also attracted by their own appearance...

This skirt is so pretty - it makes me look so pink and tender.

The Cui family's granddaughter was only thirteen years old, just the age when girls should be coquettish.

She was very satisfied with the dress she was wearing. She looked at it again and again in front of the mirror and couldn't help asking, "Do you have the same style and pattern of this dress?"

The female shopkeeper smiled and explained: "This skirt is not expensive. It is impossible to have only this one in the capital..."

"If you want something unique, you can ask your needlework lady to embroider it."

“That’s unique.”

"Of course, if there is no modification, Miss Cui has outstanding appearance and temperament, so she is not afraid of comparison..."

When the little girl heard this, she raised her chin proudly and said, "Of course!"

Imagining the scene of other wealthy daughters wearing such clothes, the little girl nodded confidently: "Grandma, I want this one..."

Mrs. Cui smiled and nodded: "Okay. You can pick one too..."

There is no need to save such a cheap dress for important banquets.

The ladies of noble status came out of the small room directly in beautiful dresses.

Facing all kinds of envious looks, the women of the Cui family finally understood the feelings of those young ladies.

Too proud.

Our new clothes can be worn even when we are not meeting guests!

There is no other way. We have money, so we don’t have to be so cautious…

Of course, they also bought a second set, and they will wear it when they meet guests in the future...

If it were normal, Xiao Yingchun would definitely go to the shop to take a look.

But with the danger warning, she didn't dare to go, and could only feel the popularity of the store from the reports.

"...We've ordered 20 floor-standing peep shows. The clothing store's revenue today is over 132,000 taels..."

Xiao Yingchun looked at the guard who was reporting in surprise: "Why are there so many?"

"Didn't they say it was sold very cheaply?"

The guards were also surprised by this question and asked the female shop owner.

"The shopkeeper said that it was because the clothes were cheap and ordinary people and rich families could afford them..."

Clothes cost hundreds of taels of silver, and ordinary wealthy people would not be willing to buy them even if they had the money.

They had no pressure to buy clothes worth a dozen taels of silver...

The wealthiest families, however, are more casual in their purchases because the items are cheap: as long as they like them, they don’t have to worry about buying too much.
