Chapter 219 The Lady is also a Butcher 17
Colleagues can visit each other's shops, but saying it this way still makes people feel a little subtle. Mrs. Wang didn't know if she really had such an intention, and she became angry and embarrassed.
"Don't talk nonsense. I am better than a butcher like you. You better keep an eye on her, or the lard on her hands won't stain your clothes."
After saying this, Mrs. Wang left without even making clothes.
"laugh--"
Ming Huaixi felt that this person really had no memory. When had they been treated well by her before, they still came to provoke her. They really had no memory. They always used the same excuses. Enough. Killing pigs? What's wrong with killing pigs? They didn't kill anyone.
Ming Huaixi took Yun Qinglian and the others directly in. Liushang Pavilion was indeed very good. The best batch of clothes looked comparable to those embroidered by the beautiful ladies in the palace.
Ming Huaixi took a fancy to a dress made of moon-white flowing brocade hanging high in the air. The dress matched Yun Qinglian's face very well. As long as Yun Qinglian didn't say anything and stood far away, she would look like a fairy who had descended to the earth.
"Please take down that dress and alter it to the right size for my child."
Yun Qinglian was looking at a light blue dress that was very suitable for her sister-in-law. She was thinking about saying something when she saw Ming Huaixi pointing at her. She then looked at the price tag and said, "Auntie, oh my god, this one thousand eight hundred taels."
Yun Qinglian felt weak in the knees at the thought of wearing such expensive clothes, so she secretly pulled at the corner of Ming Huaixi's clothes.
"Sister-in-law, this is too expensive, should we not wear it? I think there are other nice clothes, and I'm growing fast now, so I won't be able to wear it after a while."
"Don't worry, our family is rich. We will have more beautiful clothes in the future. Of course, you can wear them if you can. You may not be able to wear them when you grow up. Don't worry."
Ming Huaixi went to pay after she finished speaking. In her opinion, saying that children don't need expensive clothes, that children grow fast and don't need too many clothes, and so on, are all adults' ideas.
Think about it, if you have sufficient means, other people's children get new clothes every once in a while, but your child doesn't, how huge the psychological gap would be for the child? This is not about comparison or anything, it's just that if you have sufficient means, why can't you satisfy your child?
Since the conditions are met for the child, why should the child have that kind of gap? Of course, if the conditions are not met, then forget it. Ming Huaixi doesn't want to be that kind of adult. Besides, Yun Qinglian and this dress are indeed a good match. Who doesn't like beautiful things?
It was just a piece of clothing, and she didn't need any money. However, it was also a great thing for a child to be considerate of his family. Ming Huaixi decided to buy Yun Qinglian another piece of clothing later.
The clothes hung high in Liushang Pavilion are all of only one version. Once someone likes a piece of clothing, Liushang Pavilion will be responsible for changing the size. After that, Liushang Pavilion will no longer sell clothes of this style. It can be considered an alternative limited edition.
Of course, the price of this kind of clothes is also very attractive. Liushang Pavilion has clearly marked prices. This dress made of moon-white flowing brocade is priced at one thousand eight hundred taels, and this does not include the labor cost.
This moon-white flowing brocade dress has been on the shelf for three months, but it has not been sold yet. One reason is that this flowing brocade dress is expensive, and the other is that it is very picky about who wears it, so most people will choose clothes that are more suitable for them.
"Okay, follow me."
The embroiderer from Liushang Pavilion came over and led Ming Huaixi and the others to a private room nearby, where they could try on and measure clothes.
Oh, the clothes at Liushang Pavilion require payment first and then alterations, because what if some customers want all the clothes altered and then don’t want them anymore? This is not acceptable.
Ming Huaixi also paid the money first before being taken to the box.
After measuring the clothes, Ming Huaixi bought a piece of clothing for each of Yunsheng and his brother at Liushang Pavilion. Their clothes were not hung high, but they were not cheap either, costing two hundred taels of silver per piece of clothing.
Yun Qinglian also pointed out the dress that she had just picked out for her sister-in-law. Ming Huaixi also liked it, so he bought it. Later, Ming Huaixi bought Yun Qinglian a light blue dress.
He bought a light yellow dress for Xiao Jinglan. This trip cost him a total of three thousand taels of silver. He became a big customer of Liushang Pavilion, which directly took care of the alteration and door-to-door delivery services of the clothes.
"Let's go to Chunxianglou for dinner tonight. I've asked someone to reserve a private room. We didn't enjoy the meal very much last time, so we can go again today. It's very close to Chunxianglou, and we can get there in two steps."
Ming Huaixi decided to go out and buy clothes today and asked Chunxianglou to look for her. It turned out that there was actually a private room. This was really an unexpected surprise.
"Yeah, sister-in-law, we can eat again. I want to eat the green sauce grilled chicken. I didn't order that last time. I miss it so much."
This is one of Yun Haocheng’s favorite dishes, but this green sauce roast chicken is a little special. Those who don’t like it especially don’t like it, and those who like it especially like it. Before, the princess didn’t know whether she liked it or not, so she didn’t order this controversial dish.
"Okay, we have everything. Just order whatever you want this time. The princess is busy moving house these days and doesn't have time to share the table with us."
There weren't any strange people coming to Chunxianglou this time. They ordered all their favorite dishes, and with Xiao Jinglan around, they wouldn't have left without finishing the food.
Three days later is the day when Princess Chun'an will host a banquet for everyone, and it is said that there will be people coming from the palace this time.
Ming Huaixi arrived early on the day of the banquet. Their status was lower than that of others, so they could not be late. This was an unspoken rule among everyone.
The more honorable a person is, the later he or she will come; the lower the status a person is, the earlier he or she will come. If the person who breaks the rules is an honorable person, then it's nothing, but if it's a person of status, then it's a different matter.
Sometimes Ming Huaixi feels that such rules are a bit boring, but the rules of this world are set by a few people in order to highlight their differences, and this is not easy to change.
When there is change, there will be new rules. The upper class has no shortage of rules. They break one and then another, as if they have nothing else to highlight their status except rules.
When Ming Huaixi brought Yunsheng and the others over, someone led them in and then left. Ming Huaixi took them to find a place to wait. After everyone who should have come arrived and they exchanged a few words, they were free to move around.
Ming Huaixi understood this process, after all, she had once been one of them.
Unexpectedly, another maid came after a while.
"Madam Princess Ming asked me to invite you over."
Ming Huaixi looked at the maid and said, "Can my sisters follow?"
"Of course you can. The princess has told you to take whoever you want."
Yun Sheng and Yun Haocheng were assigned to the male guests as soon as they entered the venue. Now that they are not here, Ming Huaixi naturally has to take Yun Qinglian and Xiao Jinglan with them when they go out, so as to avoid being bullied.
