Qingtian was the first to react, clapping his hands and saying, "Beautiful! Sister Duan is so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven descending to earth!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else in the room reacted.
Mrs. Duan didn't even bother to change her clothes. She walked up to her daughter and looked her up and down, saying, "She looks beautiful, really beautiful!"
"You've grown up so big in the blink of an eye. I always thought you were still this young!" Madam Duan said, gesturing towards Qingtian beside her. "Now you've grown into a big girl, and you're about to get married."
Before, Miss Duan's clothes were always dressed in a childish way. But when she put on this outfit today, Mrs. Duan suddenly realized that her daughter already had a graceful figure. She was no longer a child, but a grown-up girl.
Mrs. Duan became more and more emotional as she spoke, and she even choked up at the end.
Seeing this, Madam Lu quickly said, "Isn't this what parents are like? When children are young, you look forward to them growing up, but when they really grow up, you think they grow up too fast!
"Look at how Miss Duan looks now. She is just as charming as you were back then!"
Madam Lu said this as if she had known Madam Duan before.
However, when Mrs. Duan looked at her daughter at this moment, she really seemed to see herself when she was young.
She was completely immersed in sadness and memories and didn't care about these details at all.
"Yes, the children grow up and I grow old."
"What are you talking about? How are you old?" Madam Lu said, "If you don't believe me, go put on this dress too. Standing next to Miss Duan, you'll look like a pair of sisters!"
Mrs. Duan then remembered that she had not tried on her clothes yet, so she hurried into the east compartment to change.
Miss Duan couldn't see what she looked like in her overall clothes, but when she saw her mother coming out of the house, she immediately understood why everyone was silent when she came out.
It’s so beautiful!
The materials and styles of the mother and daughter's clothes are different, but the patterns are from the same series. They look different yet somewhat related.
The most important thing is that the reason why the clothes made by Ye Ersao are popular is that her styles are different from those made by others. They are not the kind of stereotyped cuts that only differ in size, but are modified according to the characteristics of each person.
Miss Duan's dress was worn by Ye Ersao with the waistline raised high, which instantly made her look thinner and with longer legs, and her figure looked particularly slender.
As Mrs. Duan got a little older, she inevitably gained some weight, and her waist was not as slim as when she was young.
She usually likes to wear loose clothes to cover up.
But Ye Ersao's dress was not loose at all and fit her perfectly.
When Mrs. Duan put it on, she was worried that it would make her waist look too thick and her belly protrude.
However, Ye Ersao cleverly used diagonal cutting and embroidery to make Mrs. Duan look like she didn't have a protruding belly when she put it on. Instead, she had the beauty of a plump woman.
Mrs. Duan herself didn't know how effective it would be, and she always unconsciously put her hands in front of her body, worried that it would be too close to her body and would highlight her flaws.
"Mom, put your hands down. Don't worry, your belly really doesn't show at all."
Although the maid said the same thing when we were in the room just now.
But Mrs. Duan was always afraid that the maid was deliberately flattering her, so she didn't dare to believe it completely.
Hearing his daughter say the same thing, he half-believingly lowered his hand that was covering his body.
"It's really beautiful and makes me look slimmer."
Mrs. Duan regretted that she couldn't see her whole body. After a moment's thought, she said, "Someone, hurry to the foreign goods store and buy a full-length Western mirror!"
When Qingtian heard this, he suddenly remembered that Linglong Pavilion sold Western goods.
Qin Hexuan helped her sell the blue and white porcelain plate at such a good price, and he refused to accept any compensation.
Qingtian has been thinking about how to repay him recently!
Isn’t this a good opportunity right now!
So Qingtian directly suggested: "Mrs. Duan, why don't we go directly to the store now? Firstly, you two can see the new clothes as soon as possible, and secondly, you can check the quality of the full-length mirror and see if it is clear."
Mrs. Duan was indeed moved after hearing this.
She had only seen this kind of full-length Western mirror in the room of another official's wife. The reflection was as clear as if there was a real person standing in front of her.
She was shocked when she saw it for the first time.
This Western mirror is very expensive. One the size of a palm costs several taels of silver.
So although Mrs. Duan liked it very much, she was reluctant to buy it.
Since I want to buy it this time, it is safer to go to the store and choose it myself.
Seeing that Mrs. Duan's expression had relaxed, Qingtian immediately added, "Let's go directly to the Linglong Pavilion in the Qin Mansion. I know the shopkeeper there. When the time comes, you can look in the mirror to see if there is anything that doesn't fit. My second aunt can help you modify it directly in the store.
"My master said that it was thanks to your promise to postpone the delivery of the clothes that my second aunt was able to get the opportunity to help the queen make clothes.
"So we must repay you and make sure you and Sister Duan are satisfied.
"Originally, my second aunt never personally delivers clothes to your house for alterations, but today, for your satisfaction, I've made an exception!"
Mrs. Duan thought about it and felt that Qingtian’s idea was really good.
Among the foreign goods stores in Beijing, Linglong Pavilion is definitely among the best, even if we cannot say it is the best.
Especially the last point, that she could directly modify the clothes in Linglong Pavilion, made her make up her mind and said, "The little girl is really smart, this is a great idea.
"Come here, prepare the car, let's go to Linglong Pavilion."
When the waiter at Linglong Pavilion saw the Duan family’s emblem on the car, he immediately stepped forward to entertain the guests.
Unexpectedly, before he got close, he saw Qingtian getting out of the car behind.
The clerk immediately turned around and shouted into the store, "Boss, Miss Sunny is here."
The Duan family mother and daughter watched helplessly as the usually aloof owner of Linglong Pavilion came out of the store with a big smile on his face and headed straight for Qingtian.
"What's that wind that brings Miss Sunny here today? What do you want to see?
"The store has some newly arrived down yarn. It's very light and thin, perfect for making clothes for summer."
Qingtian hurriedly said to the shopkeeper, "I'm here with Madam Duan and Miss Duan. They want to see a Western-style full-length mirror."
The shopkeeper immediately understood that Qingtian was helping to attract business for the store!
He immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Duan, Miss Duan, please come in. There are several full-length mirrors of different styles on the second floor. You can take a look and see if you like the style."
The most urgent thing for Mrs. Duan and Miss Duan at this moment was to look in the mirror to see their new clothes, so they immediately followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
