Chapter 244 The Soiled White Cheongsam
Now that the dress was ruined like this, she felt even more sad.
You know, she ordered this dress at the end of last year. It just arrived a few days ago and was ruined when she wore it for the first time today.
"Beautiful auntie, I can make it even more beautiful!" Juanjuan ran in front of the woman without knowing when.
The woman was about to lose her temper when she looked down and saw this little ball of milk. Her anger subsided a little: "How can you become beautiful when you are already like this?"
"Pretty auntie, try it. What if you become even more beautiful?" Juanjuan said in a grandma's voice.
The woman looked at the old man opposite her, then at her own clothes: "What if it doesn't look good?"
"Then I'll ask the tailor to make a new one for my pretty aunt, okay?" Juanjuan looked at her innocently with his big eyes.
"But I didn't bring any spare clothes, and I'm going to a friend's party today." The woman had originally planned to show off her clothes today.
The result was like this, which ruined her good mood.
"Miss, why don't you go to our new clothing store first? If that doesn't work, we can tailor-make it for you. Is that okay with you?" Hu Zi said.
"Well, I can't attend my friend's party in this condition." The woman was helpless.
Hu Zi looked at the old man beside him and said, "Old man, can you come with us?"
"Okay, thank you." The old man followed them with something in his arms.
Si Jinchen looked at the thing in his arms and saw that it had dyed his clothes black, and the smell was not very pleasant.
"Madam, we may need to go to the clothing store first to prepare some clothes for this young lady." Hu Zi walked to Si Ning and said.
Si Ning looked at the children in the orphanage and said, "Why don't you go together? I can ask the tailor to make you some clothes."
"Thank you, ma'am." The children had no objection.
Si Ning now travels with a lot of people, so it is not too difficult to free up some cars for these people to sit.
When they arrived at the New Clothing Store, the woman looked at them in surprise and asked, "Are you from the Governor's Mansion?"
"Yes." Hu Zi admitted generously.
The woman really liked the clothes in their store. Recently, a lot of clothes with new styles were added, and she had ordered them all, but they had not been made yet.
Shopkeeper Lu was also taken aback when he saw her: "Is this lady here to pick up some clothes?"
"No, my clothes were dirty and I happened to meet them. They said they could help me deal with it, so I came." The woman said a little embarrassedly.
"That's a coincidence. The dress that the young lady ordered from our store has been made. I was thinking of calling you tomorrow to ask you to try it on." Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile.
"Then let's try it today. If it fits, I'll wear it." The woman's mood improved a little, and she could go to her friend's party.
"Manager Lu, please ask someone to get some hot water for this lady and find her a room." Si Ning saw that the stains on her body might have stained her body.
"Okay, miss, please follow me." Shopkeeper Lu led the way and asked the female workers in the store to give her hot water and bring her some underwear.
The female worker handed Juanjuan the white cheongsam she had changed out of: "Miss Juanjuan, what are you going to do with this dress?"
Juanjuan took the clothes and spread them on the table. She took out a rose from her bag and squeezed the juice out of it with her little hands.
Si Ning looked at the roses in her hand and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She said that there was one less rose in the vase this morning, leaving only the rose stems.
I asked around and no one knew what happened. Now I finally know where the flowers went.
Si Jinchen looked at the flowers in her hand and blinked his big eyes: "Juanjuan, when did you put the flowers in your bag?"
"Good morning!" Juanjuan's little hands were now full of red juice, and she pressed them on the white cheongsam.
The old man who came with him felt a pang in his heart: This kid must think that the clothes are not dirty enough and now he is making a mess on them!
Si Ning asked Hu Zi to take the children to measure their sizes. She stood up and looked at the red mark that Juanjuan had pressed on the clothes. The more she looked, the brighter her eyes became.
The child actually changed the style of the dress to make it more elegant, which was more suitable for the woman's appearance and temperament.
After washing and changing into her new clothes, the woman was very satisfied. At least she could go out and meet people.
She saw everyone in the hall gathered together, so she walked over and saw the little girl pressing red handprints on her white skirt.
This dress is completely ruined. It turns out that children only say what they want.
Shopkeeper Lu saw her and asked quickly, "Miss, is there anything you need to change about your dress? Madam just told me about it. I will arrange for someone to make two new cheongsams for you right away."
"Is white still okay? But we don't have plain crepe satin in our store. Do you think other fabrics would be okay?"
"Sister, can you help Juanjuan wash it?" Juanjuan looked at the female worker beside her.
"Okay, miss. I'll go wash it for you right away." The female worker said and immediately took the clothes to wash.
Shopkeeper Lu took the woman to select fabrics and discussed the style of the cheongsam with the tailor.
The female worker washed the clothes, dried them with charcoal fire, and then ironed them before handing them to Juanjuan: "Miss, it's done."
Juanjuan ran to find the girl with the clothes in her arms: "Pretty auntie, it's done!"
The woman looked at Juanjuan running towards her with a cheongsam in her hands, a smile on her face.
Although I knew that the clothes were ruined, I still couldn't bear to say harsh words to such a well-behaved child.
She picked up the cheongsam and shook it open, preparing to give her a few fake compliments to cheer her up, but after shaking the cheongsam open, she was completely dumbfounded.
The dark black colors from before disappeared, replaced by a light ink color, while the originally ugly little red handprints were still bright in color.
Like blooming red plum blossoms, it makes the whole dress more colorful.
"it's beautiful."
Shopkeeper Lu had a smile on his face: "Miss, why don't you try it on your body?"
The woman did not refuse and took the clothes to change. When she came out, she felt that this dress suited her better than her moonlight white cheongsam made of plain crepe satin.
"This dress is beautiful, auntie likes it very much." She really liked the dress and looked at herself left and right in the full-length mirror, feeling very satisfied.
"As long as you are satisfied, Miss. I promised to make two cheongsams for you. When they are ready, I will call you and ask you to pick them up." Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile.
"No need. We agreed before that if I'm not satisfied, I'll be compensated. I'm very satisfied with this dress now, and I'll pay for the other two cheongsams myself."
The woman's depressed mood suddenly felt better.
"This is what we have promised. We will not charge you any money. It can be regarded as compensation for wasting your time." Shopkeeper Lu naturally would not ruin his own reputation.
