Su Jinyue and a few others walked into the mall and went straight to the gold counter.
Wang Meizhen walked to the counter, glanced around inside, and pointed at a bracelet carved with a dragon and a phoenix. "This gold bracelet is nice, Jinyue, come and see if you like it."
Su Jinyue took a look and frowned slightly, "Isn't this too thick?" She didn't like gold jewelry very much, she felt it was a bit tacky, not to mention such a thick bracelet.
"It's not thick. I think it's pretty good." Wang Meizhen turned to look at the waiter at the counter. "Comrade, can you take out this bracelet and let us try it on?"
The waiter nodded, reached out to take the bracelet from the counter and put it on the counter, looked at Su Jinyue and said, "Why don't you try it once? Your skin is so fair, it will look good on you." Among these people, except for the old lady who asked her to take the bracelet, the others looked quite elegant.
"Put it on and try it on." Wang Meizhen said with a smile.
Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan helplessly, picked up the bracelet on the counter and put it on her wrist.
"Oh my! It's really beautiful! What do you think, dear in-laws?" Wang Meizhen looked at Lin Suwen with a smile. In their country, the more gold a bride wears, the more blessed she is, and this gold can also be passed down from generation to generation.
"It looks good, but it would be better if it were thinner." Lin Suwen, like Su Jinyue, didn't like this kind of gold jewelry very much, but this was a gift from Wang Meizhen, so she didn't say anything.
"Mom, why don't we look at something else?" Zhan Yihan said. He felt that Jin Yue's temperament was not suitable for wearing such thick gold jewelry.
"Okay." After hearing Zhan Yihan say this, Wang Meizhen could only nod. After all, he and Jin Yue were getting married.
Su Jinyue took off the bracelet on her hand and chose a bracelet that was half the size of the previous one and put it on her hand. "What do you think of this bracelet?" Although she didn't like gold, it was customary to wear gold at weddings in Shangxin Village. If a family didn't have a piece of gold jewelry at a wedding, people would talk about it. She didn't mind it, but Yihan's parents would definitely care.
In Shangxin Village, some wives marry into families with limited means, but to save face, they often have brass jewelry made for them. Brass has a similar color to gold, and the jeweler adds a metal to the brass, making it look even more like gold. Without careful observation, you can't tell the difference, unless you take it off and drop it on the ground to listen for the sound.
"Okay." Lin Suwen and Zhan Yihan nodded at the same time.
Although Wang Meizhen wasn't entirely satisfied, seeing that Lin Suwen and Zhan Yihan both liked the look, she could only nod helplessly. "I heard wedding rings are all the rage in town right now. Yihan, you and Jinyue should pick out a pair of gold rings. I think this one looks great." She pointed to a pair of polished rings on the counter. This time, if they were suitable, she'd buy them.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan exchanged a wry smile. It seemed like they had no choice but to buy some thicker gold jewelry today.
The two tried it on. Although they didn't like it very much, seeing Wang Meizhen's happy face, they just went along with her. After all, they would only wear it for one day during the wedding.
After buying the jewelry, they headed towards the clothing counter on the second floor.
"What do you think of the clothes in that store? Let's go in and take a look." Wang Meizhen saw a counter selling red coats and happily walked over with a few people. Wearing red clothes is a must for a wedding, and she had just looked at several stores, but only this one had red clothes for sale.
Entering the counter, Wang Meizhen walked to a row of hangers and reached out to pick up a red coat. "Do you think this dress looks good?"
"Aunt Zhan, if you like it, go ahead and try it on," Su Jinyue said. This counter specializes in clothing for middle-aged and elderly people, and it's perfect for her.
"I can't wear this. I'm giving it to you, Jinyue. Try this dress on. It will definitely look good when you wear it at your wedding." Wang Meizhen walked to Su Jinyue with a smile and compared the dress to her.
"Sister Meizhen, this counter specializes in clothing for middle-aged and elderly people," Lin Suwen asked. Sister Meizhen has lived in the countryside for many years and this is her first time in the city, so her vision is definitely limited.
She certainly didn't know that the clothing categories in Beijing's shopping malls are now completely separated. For example, the children's area is dedicated to selling children's clothing, the women's area is mainly for women's clothing, and there is also a men's area, and so on. Jin Yue must have thought that she and Meizhen were going to buy clothes, so she brought them to the middle-aged and elderly clothing area.
"Is this clothing for middle-aged and elderly people?" Wang Meizhen was a little confused. She thought the dress was quite nice, so how could it be considered clothing for middle-aged and elderly people? Did everyone her age in the city wear this?
"Would you like to try on this dress?" A waiter walked up to Wang Meizhen and asked with a smile.
"Comrade, can I really wear this dress?" Wang Meizhen said, still a little unconvinced. She felt that at her age, this kind of dress was a bit too fancy.
"Yes, the clothes in our counter are suitable for people of your age." The waiter nodded with a smile.
"Then can't she wear it?" Wang Meizhen pointed at Su Jinyue beside her.
"This is the clothing area for middle-aged and elderly people. The women's clothing area is on the south side." The waitress pointed to the south, and her meaning was very clear.
"Oh!" Wang Meizhen nodded in understanding. So, there were such strict requirements for clothing in the capital. In her opinion, as long as the clothes were wearable and clean, they were fine. Jin Yue bought her so many clothes, but she just left them lying around. Her own clothes hadn't worn out, so why would she wear all those new ones? Wouldn't that just be a waste of clothes?
Thinking of this, she hung the clothes back on the rack. She was here to buy things for Yi Han and Jin Yue's wedding, not for herself. Besides, she would rather save the money for her own clothes and leave it to the younger generation.
"Let's go to the women's clothing area." Wang Meizhen said to Su Jinyue and the others.
"Aunt Zhan, why don't you try that dress on?" Su Jinyue walked to the clothes rack, took down the dress that Wang Meizhen had just looked at, and handed it to Wang Meizhen. Aunt Zhan must have chosen this dress because she thought it looked good.
"I have a lot of clothes at home. I won't try them on anymore." Wang Meizhen smiled and waved her hand. She didn't want to waste the money.
"Sister Meizhen, why don't you try this one? I'll get one too." Lin Suwen handed Wang Meizhen a hand-length short coat. Meizhen's personality was shaped by her environment; if she went out more often, it would change.
"Mom, go give it a try." Zhan Yihan said. He understood his mother's mentality. She didn't mind spending any amount of money on her children, but she would feel bad if she spent even a penny of her own money.
