Chapter 52 Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse; stunning everyone.
They had agreed not to buy ready-made clothes, but Lin Luoxi still picked out some anyway—cotton coats that they had never worn before, and they were obviously very expensive. Lin Wenqian was about to step forward and try to persuade her to stop.
But when he heard the female shopkeeper say, "Girls have delicate skin, so they should take good care of it," he still held back.
In the past, if families didn't have the means, they naturally wouldn't have thought about girls needing to be pampered.
But now, Lin Luoxi has all the money she has, so it's only right that she spends her own money to buy nicer clothes.
As Lin Luoxi's brother, he not only failed to contribute to earning money, but he also had no right to criticize Lin Luoxi.
After figuring this out, Lin Wenqian not only didn't think Lin Luoxi was wasteful, but also felt that she should dress herself up nicely.
Live your life well, and make the Wang family, who once tried to break off the engagement with your family, regret it.
"Big brother, what do you think of this outfit?" Just as Lin Wenqian had come to his senses, Lin Luoxi changed into her cotton dress and came out.
"How is it? Do you think it looks good or not? You should at least give us an answer!" Lin Luoxi walked out and circled around in front of everyone. When she found that no one had said anything, she frowned.
"Beautiful, so beautiful." The female shopkeeper, who was the first to react, circled around Lin Luoxi excitedly, showering her with compliments.
Sure enough, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. This young lady's demeanor completely changed her from the pitiful little beggar she was just now.
The first dress Lin Luoxi tried on was a tea-brown cotton dress personally tailored by the female shopkeeper; she really liked this color of fabric.
However, this dress is very selective in terms of skin tone, so it has been hanging in the store for a month and no one has tried it on.
Today, it was seeing Lin Luoxi's fair skin that made me think of taking it out for her to try.
"Little sister, this dress is really beautiful." Ever since Lin Luoxi came out, Lin Wenqian was amazed by the air of a wealthy young lady that Lin Luoxi exuded.
The tea-brown dress seemed tailor-made for Lin Luoxi. Lin Wenqian almost didn't recognize the girl in front of him; she was the Lin sister he had watched grow up.
"Yes, very beautiful." The girl in front of me, with her slender neck and fair skin accentuated by her tea-brown dress, exuded charm and beauty with every smile and gesture.
Xie Hanchuan desperately suppressed his heart pounding violently because of Lin Luoxi, while pretending to be calm and praising her.
"Yes, I also think this dress suits me very well. I'll try on the next one." Lin Luoxi put on the dress and felt great; it was much more comfortable than the cotton and linen she was wearing.
"Big brother, don't just stand there, pick out a couple of changes too," Lin Luoxi said to Lin Wenqian as she turned to go into the fitting room.
The female shopkeeper followed Lin Luoxi into the fitting room, and her eyes lit up when she heard Lin Luoxi's words.
Wow, she's got a big customer at her shop! Hehe, she's going to make a fortune!
He immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and began to introduce the ready-made clothes in the store to Lin Wenqian.
Lin Wenqian originally wanted to refuse Lin Luoxi's offer, but seeing the female shopkeeper's enthusiastic recommendation, he couldn't refuse and picked out two items for himself as well.
However, he didn't have the habit of changing clothes outside, so he didn't change clothes like Lin Luoxi.
"Hmm, big brother, you've already made your selection so quickly?" Lin Luoxi, who had just changed her clothes, asked curiously when she saw Lin Wenqian still sitting there.
"Yes, I've already picked them out. I measured them, and they fit, so there's no need for the hassle of trying them on." Lin Wenqian patted the two sets of clothes beside him as he saw Lin Luoxi come out.
"Okay, that's good. Big brother, since you have time, why don't you pick out two sets for our parents and younger siblings as well?" Lin Luoxi instructed Lin Wenqian while tidying up her own clothes.
"What? Oh, okay, okay..." Lin Wenqian wanted to scream in surprise when he heard that everyone would be given two sets.
But then he remembered what he had just figured out, and quickly shut his mouth.
"Brother Hanchuan, why don't you pick out a couple of sets too? It's on you." This time, if it weren't for Xie Hanchuan, that tiger probably wouldn't have left Wutong Village so easily, and it wouldn't have sold for such a high price.
"I... I don't need it!" Xie Hanchuan felt he hadn't helped much and was embarrassed to take advantage of others, especially Lin Luoxi.
"Brother Hanchuan, I'm telling you to choose, so choose. You'll never get another chance like this."
"Big brother, you should also help Han Chuan make his choice." Lin Luoxi was afraid that Xie Han Chuan would refuse, so she asked Lin Wenqian to keep an eye on things from the side.
"Okay, little sister, don't worry, I will definitely pick out a couple of outfits for Brother Hanchuan." If it were for himself, he would be a little reluctant, but since it was for Xie Hanchuan, Lin Wenqian didn't feel anything was wrong.
Their family has always been indebted to Xie Hanchuan, and they have been troubling him these past few days, so they should give him a gift in return.
Xie Hanchuan had no elders at home, and his clothes were tattered with patches sewn by himself with such fine stitches that it was obvious he had done it himself.
Now that his younger sister had spoken, letting Xie Hanchuan choose two items, Lin Wenqian was even more serious about choosing clothes than he was about choosing his own.
The female shopkeeper standing nearby was very pleased to hear Lin Luoxi's words. Although the relationship between the three of them was a bit complicated, it didn't stop her from making money.
They also enthusiastically inquired about Lin Wenqian's family situation and recommended suitable sizes.
Finally, at the fabric shop, Lin Luoxi bought two sets of clothes and a pair of shoes for each of her family members and Xie Hanchuan. The price of each set of clothes was different, and the price of the shoes also varied depending on the size.
Since it was summer, the clothes were relatively inexpensive, and the total cost was four taels and eight mace.
When Lin Wenqian heard that it would cost two taels and eight mace, he was so distressed that he almost fainted.
But not wanting others to see his distressed expression, he turned his head away, pretending to look at something else.
Lin Luoxi didn't feel the same way as Lin Wenqian. She thought that buying so many ready-made clothes for just over four ounces wasn't much.
They happily wrapped the new clothes and put them into the basket, which was actually a way of storing them in their space.
Xie Hanchuan looked at Lin Luoxi's basket that was never full and felt very curious. He wanted to ask her something, but he didn't dare, so he could only distract himself.
As Lin Luoxi was leaving the cloth shop, she suddenly remembered something, turned around, and asked the female shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you have any scraps of cloth or anything like that here?"
"Yes, do you want it? If you do, I'll have someone get it for you right now." The female shopkeeper looked at Lin Luoxi with the same adoration she would show a god of wealth, thinking about how she had exceeded her sales target for the day.
The delivery speed has also increased significantly, prompting the store's deliveryman to hurry up and get the scraps of fabric from the material storage area.
"These scraps of fine cotton and coarse linen are for you as a token of my friendship. How about it?"
The female shopkeeper hadn't expected that the girl covered in patches would be so generous; she genuinely wanted Lin Luoxi as a repeat customer.
