The Delicate Beauty in the 1980s [Through the Book]

Wen Xin and her best friend had a falling out, turning from close companions to bitter enemies. In an act of revenge, her former best friend wrote her into a cliché-filled period novel as a tragic ...

Chapter 19

Sun Changwei's wife was efficient. She brought up the topic and told Wen Xin the next day that it was settled and they would meet tomorrow. She asked her to get ready in the morning. However, in the eyes of Sun Changwei's wife, this girl looks beautiful in anything she wears and the other party will definitely like her.

Wen Xin has never had a blind date in her life, and she doesn’t know what the process is. Anyway, she is a little curious.

The next morning, she hurriedly ate a meal, drank a cup of plant essence juice extracted by the system, cleaned up the kitchen, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out.

Yan Zeyang came down from upstairs holding a hat and saw that she was wearing a white dress that she had never worn before. She had a thin black leather belt around her waist and her black hair was half gathered behind her head. Against the backdrop of the white fabric, her skin did not appear dark, but instead, it made her look more rosy-cheeked, with white teeth, skin as white as cream, and a body as white as ice.

He frowned slightly and came down from upstairs calmly, "You want to go out?"

Wen Xin turned around and was startled to see it was him. She thought no one was home and was in a hurry to clean up the kitchen so she didn't see him come upstairs.

"Well... Captain Yan, why are you back?" Wen Xin said in surprise, her lips slightly opened. A hint of jade-colored teeth appeared between the slightly upturned red lips.

"Come back to get a document." His eyes swept lightly, down along the clothes to the slender waist that could be held in one hand, and finally landed on her calves and open-toed sandals. The five toes were delicately snow-white and pink.

Then his gaze returned to her face. I didn't look closely just now, but now I saw that she had lipstick on her pink lips? But it’s not very red, but it makes the whole person look delicate and beautiful.

Yan Zeyang put his hat on his head and asked inconspicuously, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, I..." Before she finished, the voice of Sun Xuecheng's wife came from outside, "Wen Xin, Wen Xin! Let's go!"

"Hey!" Wen Xin responded quickly, then picked up a blue handbag from the cabinet and put it on her wrist. The handbag was hand-sewn and designed completely according to her requirements. The main reason was that the bags of this era were too ugly. They were either military-use or shoulder bags, like elementary school students' bags. There was none of them that she liked. But if she didn't buy one, she would have to have something to hold her money, tickets, keys, etc. when she went out.

She could only design a bag for herself and ask the old craftsman who made clothes to make her a small handbag similar to the modern ones, which she could put on her hand when she had nothing to do. It was not conspicuous and was convenient.

"I have something to do today. Well, I've already asked Aunt He for leave. Someone is calling me outside, so I'll leave first. Remember to lock the door. I'll be back in the afternoon." Wen Xin didn't bother to be polite with Yan Zeyang. It was his own home, so if he wasn't allowed to lock the door, who should lock it? After she finished speaking, she hurried out the door.

Sun Xuecheng's wife was waiting for her outside the door. When she saw Wen Xin coming out, her eyes lit up. "This skirt is so beautiful. You really know how to wear clothes. Is it new? The material is pretty good, but the white color doesn't last long..."

Wen Xin looked in several places before she found the thinnest material. A white skirt like this would look like a doctor's white coat if thick material was used, haha.

Before, when she had earned some money, she went to buy cloth, then carefully selected and matched the pieces. Finally, she found a skilled and patient tailor to have it handmade according to her requirements. Of course, the labor cost would be a bit more expensive, but it was worth it.

In this novel, the reform and opening up had already begun in 1979. People were eager to change their ideas and trends, and clothing had changed a lot compared to before. Many people began to dare to wear anything, although fewer people wore red. But when Wenchen went to the shopping mall, he found that the colors and types of fabric counters had increased significantly, and there were more patterns to choose from.

There are also some popular clothing of this era that came from the south.

Some light colors that are different from the dull black, blue and gray are also becoming popular, such as white, light pink and tender yellow. This time is the early stage of the revival of the tide of the times, just like thousands of flowers in bud, waiting to bloom instantly when the time comes.

Wenxin is not unique, it just makes some minor changes based on the retro style.

In short, the clothes she made according to the drawings, shirts were still shirts, skirts were still skirts, but they all looked very elegant. People in the compound would always ask her how she made them. One of her skirts was asked to be made by someone else four or five times according to the drawings, and several people in the compound were wearing them.

"Okay, let's go." Sun Xuecheng's wife looked very happy. She was quite satisfied. After all, if they were to become a couple, both sides would give her a lot of red envelopes for matchmaking. The man's business was from a department store, so he would definitely be generous. The woman had the prescription, so considering her status as a matchmaker, wouldn't it be a matter of giving her a few more boxes of Xinlan Oil in the future? It's a good job anyway.

"Where is Wei Hong? Didn't she say yesterday that she would come along? Why is she gone?" Wen Xin adjusted her hair, feeling that someone was missing, and asked casually.

"She's quick-witted and has no brains. Today is the first time we meet, so don't ruin your chance. Let's go, I won't wait for her anymore."

When Li Weihong rushed to the gate of Yan's house, Wen Xin and Sun Xuecheng's wife had already left the compound. She only saw Yan Motou, who was holding a document in one hand and locking the door with the other.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain Yan, are you going out?" She said something as soft as a mosquito's buzz, then lowered her head shyly, grabbing the pigtail in front of her chest with her hands.

In the past, Yan Motou would just nod in response and basically ignore her, but today, for some reason, he tilted his head and glanced at her.

"Looking for Wen Xin?" He knew that Wen Xin had become familiar with the people in the compound in the past few days, and many people came to look for her. The one in front of him was the one who ran to the gate of the Yan family most frequently. What was her name, Hong? It seems that she is a relative or nanny of Wang Xuebing's family.

"No, don't look for her. She's gone." Li Weihong didn't expect Yan Motou to take the initiative to talk to her. For a moment, her face turned as red as an apple. This had never happened before.

"Oh? Where did she go?" Yama locked the door calmly and asked casually.

"Go on a blind date. Sister-in-law Sun has proposed a marriage to Wen Xin. I went to the man's house today to take a look. I heard that the conditions there are very good. He is the youngest director of a department store, 27 years old, and looks gentle and refined. If the man likes Wen Xin, they can get married next month. Sister-in-law Sun said that once they get married, the man will arrange a job for her, buy her a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a watch. In short, she will give Wen Xin whatever she wants. Maybe I can drink at her wedding next month..."

Li Weihong was very happy to see Yama talking to her, so when he asked her casually, she blurted out everything she knew.

Captain Yan's expression froze for a moment. He immediately turned around and looked at her with eagle-like eyes. "What did you say? Blind date?"
