Chapter 302 Can't Afford It



The white clothes were taken off the mannequin by the sales assistant, who simply tied a rope to the clothes, with the other end of the rope held by the sales assistant.

The sales assistant took a fan from the official and fanned herself gently.

The white clothes on the counter looked ethereal, as if they were fluttering in the wind.

The wind wasn't strong, just a slight gust, yet the clothes seemed as light as feathers, fluttering dramatically.

Logically speaking, such a wind shouldn't be able to stir up a piece of clothing.

Everyone's eyes lit up—

"Could this clothing really lift people into the air?"

"To say it can fly is a bit of an exaggeration. It's probably just that the fabric of this garment is quite thin, like a feather, and it can't withstand the wind."

"No matter what, they didn't lie, did they?"

"I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it can lift people into the air. Didn't that red dress just now not catch fire?"

Xue Qingluan stared at the ethereal, flowing robes, her eyes sparkling, brighter than ever before.

Wei Jingyue saw it all, but the price was beyond his means, so he could only watch helplessly as Xue Qingluan liked it.

Wei Jingyue remained unmoved, but Helsin picked up his pen again, wrote down another number on the paper, and handed it to the sales assistant.

The sales assistant glanced at it, then shook her head with a smile.

Helsing frowned and didn't continue.

He originally intended to take a picture of that red dress and give it to his mother.

However, the price range is really hard to bear. If they won't sell it for 100,000 taels of silver, what price do they want to sell it for?

Of course, it wasn't that he thought the garment wasn't worth the price, but rather that he only had 200,000 taels of his own savings.

If he were to use all his savings to buy this dress, he wouldn't be able to make ends meet. It wouldn't just be a matter of being strapped for cash; he'd be eating dirt.

However, if he couldn't even remove these clothes, then probably no one in this area could either.

It's not too late to collect it when we have the money later.

Just as Helsing had expected, no one could take the two garments down at all, and they remained hanging properly in the shop window.

Just as Anle had initially planned, the entire first floor was filled with luxury goods.

Even those without money would feel blinded by the sheer brilliance. Especially the ten sets of jewelry displayed in the window—they drove the female customers wild with excitement.

Because it is so exquisite, luxurious, and dazzling.

One of the outfits, featuring a pair of blood-red ruby ​​earrings the size of pigeon eggs, truly made all the young girls and ladies present scream.

“This floral crown looks familiar, like I’ve seen this pattern before,” Wei Jingran murmured, staring at the red spider lily crown.

Xue Jinluan stared at the flower crown for a moment, then, as if realizing something, suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah, I remember now, isn't this the same pattern as that red dress I saw earlier? The flowers embroidered on that dress are just like this crown."

The sales assistant nodded with a smile.

"What this young lady says is correct. This floral crown is a set with that red dress, and the floral crown and the red dress can only be purchased together. We do not sell them separately."

Helsin, who was passing by, paused and glanced in this direction, his eyes filled with amazement.

That's the same eye you use to examine goods.

Such a pair of rubies, with their vibrant and beautiful colors, and of such large size, are truly exceptional.

Helsing stopped and walked towards the shop window, where he heard the sales assistant intently introducing the products.

"The earrings in this headdress set are made of top-grade pigeon blood rubies, as is the necklace, which is inlaid with high-quality silver."

It matched that red dress, making her look magnificent, luxurious, noble, and mysterious.

The group of women listened with a mixture of amazement and regret.

"Such beautiful jewelry, it's such a shame it's not sold separately!"

"I wonder who is so lucky to be able to wear such a beautiful and luxurious headdress and that outfit. The headdress and the outfit are a perfect match."

"Even if I can't wear it, it would be nice to try it on," Lin Yuyan sighed, her eyes fixed on the pigeon blood ruby, unable to look away.

Xue Jinluan bit her lip, "If someone can afford to buy me a set of clothes and headdress like this, I'll marry him."

Xue Qingluan glanced at the headdress with a slight flicker in her eyes.

Even she, who doesn't particularly like glamorous things, thought this headdress was absolutely gorgeous.

Simple and elegant, luxurious and sophisticated.

Honestly, I've never seen anything more stunning than this headdress.

However, the price is simply prohibitive.

This wasn't the only set that amazed the ladies and noblewomen. The remaining nine sets of jewelry were all unique, with novel and distinctive designs, and all priced so high that they were beyond the reach of most people.

You get what you pay for. The jewelry sold inside this castle is significantly more exquisite than that sold in the shops outside. It's like comparing heaven and earth.

Compared to the jewelry here, the jewelry sold in the shops outside really pales in comparison.

Especially the one I was wearing on my head, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed to show it off.

Xue Qingluan silently removed a silver lotus hairpin from her hair and tucked it into her sleeve.

Standing in front of these pieces of jewelry, I couldn't help but feel a little inferior. I'd rather not wear them at all than wear these cheap things on my head and be compared to others.

Compared to the silver hairpins here, her lotus hairpin seemed as cheap as those little trinkets bought from a street stall for a few coins.

The silver tassel hairpin displayed in the shop window is adorned with long tassels, with a few white pearls simply hanging from the tassels. At the top of the hairpin is a three-dimensional blooming lotus flower, with a round little pearl hanging from each of the three-dimensional petals.

The lotus flower is made of silver openwork crocheting, which looks somewhat complicated, but at first glance it is simple and elegant, and the style is refreshing.

It was far superior to his lotus hairpin.

This novel design was unmatched not only by her hairpin, but all the noble ladies present who wore lotus headdresses unconsciously touched their lotus ornaments.

Wei Jingyue took in Xue Qingluan's little actions and chuckled softly.

"Qingluan likes these lotus hairpins? How about I buy them for you?"

These lotus hair ornaments are not just two individual ornaments; they also include a pair of lotus tassel earrings and an intricate silver-thread woven necklace.
