Chapter 282

On another Sunday morning, Xu Disheng took Qian Guangyi, who was reluctant, to play golf in accordance with his new rules, and Mrs. Xu proposed that her birthday party would be in a few days. It was necessary to buy new clothes, so he led Qianyi to a Ruixiang cheongsam shop with great interest.

"This is a truly century-old store, and the earliest generation of ancestors can be traced back to the Guangxu period." In the workshop specially prepared for old customers, Mrs. Xu selected fabrics in front of the light, while talking to Qian Qian beside her. Yi talked about the origin of this store.

The cloths of various textures and colors displayed on the cupboard are dazzling. Mrs. Xu never gets tired of it, and discusses it with the staff next to her from time to time, but Qian Yi doesn't know anything about it. Attracted by photos of all kinds of cheongsam beauties.

In fact, it can almost be called a photo wall. Some of the photos embedded in the photo frames are very old, the paper is yellowed, and even the faces are a bit blurred; and some are obviously taken in recent years. , you can even see a few famous ladies in the city that Qian Yi can recognize.

After admiring it for a while, Qian Yi couldn't help sighing that these beauties have different looks and temperaments, but they are all graceful and charming because of their cheongsams.

Seeing that Qian Yi seemed interested in this, Mrs. Xu walked slowly to her side, and said with a smile: "The ladies in these photos are actually regular customers in the store, because they like the craftsmanship of the masters, and then they got married. After making friendship, I would be more than happy to send a photo of myself wearing a cheongsam to the store for collection, and I will accumulate a hundred years of history." Mrs. Xu turned around and asked Mama Wu who followed her to take out her reading glasses, and then Introduce the above characters to Qian Yi one by one.

"Grandma, are you up there too?" Qian Yi asked with a smile after searching for a long time.

Mrs. Xu looked at it carefully for a while, but it was Mama Wu who pointed to one of them and said, "Isn't the old lady here? I saw this picture in the old house. At that time, the old lady was still wearing braids. , about eighteen or nineteen years old, the one next to her must be Mrs. Tai."

"So it's here. I haven't noticed it before. My old lady should have sent this photo over." Mrs. Xu walked to the photo, looked at it carefully for a long time, then stretched out her hand to caress it, and then, His expression gradually became a little sentimental.

"Grandma, are you missing grandma?" Qian Yi stepped forward and supported Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu took the paper towel handed by Madam Wu, wiped her slightly moist eyes, and said with a smile: "Really, we are so old. When we see our old lady, I still can't control my emotions. She is 40 years old. He passed away when he was many years old, that is, not a few years after this photo was taken."

Even though he said so, Mrs. Xu still sighed. Seeing her like this, Qian Yi couldn't help feeling sour, and quickly rubbed Mrs. Xu's back with her hands.

"Okay, it's okay, it all happened five or 60 years ago," Madam Xu sighed, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, but in my heart, I always have some regrets. When the old man was alive, there was no Can you spend more time with her." As he spoke, Mrs. Xu took Qian Yi to look at other photos.

Qian Yi's heart moved, and her eyes touched Mrs. Xu's temples, which were obviously much grayer than six years ago.

After a while, an old man came in, saw Mrs. Xu at a glance, stepped forward with a smile, stretched out his hands to hold Mrs. Xu's hand: "Old lady, you haven't come here these few years!"

"That's right, I'm getting older these days, and I don't like to socialize very much, so I didn't think about adding new clothes. Just in a few days, my grandson wants to make birthday wine for me, so I just thought, I have to come to you Master Feng helped, and even brought my granddaughter-in-law here." Mrs. Xu obviously knew this Master Feng very well.

Master Feng looked at Qian Yi with a smile, then turned around and praised Mrs. Xu: "The old lady's vision is really top-notch. No matter the daughter-in-law or grand-daughter-in-law she chooses, they are all well-mannered and have the look of a lady. family."

These words did not make Qian Yi happy, but rather embarrassed, but it was hard to say anything in front of the elders.

"It's still Xiaofeng who has eyesight," Mrs. Xu laughed amusedly.

Mrs. Xu turned her head and introduced to Qian Yi: "Master Feng is the third generation of Ruixiang, a national-level cheongsam master. The cheongsams I wear these years are all made by him. Thanks to him for saving face, I retired. It’s been many years, and I’m still going out in person today.”

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, the old lady has praised you!" Master Feng said modestly to Mrs. Xu with his palms folded, still looking a little old-fashioned.

Qian Yi hurriedly bent over to the other party: "Master Feng!"

Master Feng raised his palms together at Qian Yi as before, and then asked with a smile: "Look at the old lady and the young lady looking at these photos just now?"

Mrs. Xu nodded and sighed with emotion: "I really can't feel the time passing so fast in other places. It's just when I come to you and see these photos that people sigh. What does it mean that time flies by so quickly?"

Master Feng pointed to a photo in the middle of the wall: "The first one that hung up was my grandmother. I have a grandson now. A few days ago, a friend of mine who is a painter brought students over. Look. Looking at these photos, the children looked stupid, and I didn’t understand what they said about the amazing time, but I always feel that those young girls now don’t have the taste of wearing cheongsam.”

After finishing speaking, Master Feng turned his head and asked his assistant to come forward, and personally helped Mrs. Xu measure up. Qian Yi looked at the side for a while, and then continued to look at the photo.

But Wu Ma suddenly pulled La Qianyi at this moment, and said jokingly: "Young Madam, I really didn't expect that you are also up there!"

Qian Yi was a little surprised, and looked in the direction of Mama Wu's finger.

Master Feng turned his face to the side, and also smiled: "No wonder, I just saw Mrs. Xu for the first time, and I wondered why it was so familiar, but Mama Wu saw Mingtang. I also remembered it now, Mrs. Xu She looks exactly like a lady in there."

"Oh?" Mrs. Xu became curious: "This is interesting, show me?"

Master Feng simply walked over, took off a photo frame, and handed it to Mrs. Xu.

"Isn't this Mrs. Shen?" Mrs. Xu said while holding the photo, and then pointed to a woman standing next to Mrs. Shen, and asked Master Feng: "Who is this lady? I'm the same as my Qianyi." It's kind of like that."

"It is said that she is a niece of Mrs. Shen's natal family. When this photo was taken, I remember that she was about ten years old, with a thin body. She followed Mrs. Shen to make cheongsams." Master Feng looked at Qian Yi, then looked at it again. Look at the photo: "She has come to our store twice, and each time she didn't talk much, she just sat quietly on the side with her head bowed, and she did whatever she was asked to do. , counting the years, she should be over 40 now."

Qian Yi stared at the photo frame in Mrs. Xu's hands. If the photo wasn't so old, she really thought that the person on it was herself. Indeed, this girl's temperament was very similar to her back then, with a timid expression on her face. You could tell by looking at her that she wasn't too happy.

It is unbelievable that there are people who are so similar to her in the world. If it is not for the age difference, Qianyi almost doubts whether the person above is Shen Wan, because so far, the only person she has ever met who is similar to her is Shen Wan. The only woman he resembled was Shen Wan, who gave birth to her.

"Qingzhu has been gone for a long time," Mrs. Xu sighed again: "It's really old. Over the years, many old friends have left one by one."

"The old lady is still young. She looks to be in her fifties, and she looks energetic." Master Feng picked up the measuring tape and re-measured the old man Xu, and said, "Look at your figure. How many changes, it is really well maintained.”

In the end Mrs. Xu chose a piece of dark green su satin for herself, and she decided to choose a pink floral hangluo for Qian Yi, but she didn't care that Qian Yi was stunned and refused, saying that the color was too tender. , I am afraid that I will not be able to support myself.

"Grandma, I'm over thirty, you're trying to make me pretend to be young!" Qian Yi laughed and helped Mrs. Xu into the lobby of the cheongsam shop.

Mrs. Xu didn't take it seriously: "What's the matter at 30 years old, you are now a woman's best age, don't you believe grandma's vision? Remember, on the day of the birthday party, you must wear this cheongsam for grandma."

"Madam, we are really destined!" The grandparents and grandchildren were talking, when someone jumped up from a sofa in the rest area and came forward happily.

Mrs. Xu was in a good mood at this time, and greeted the visitor with a smile: "Mrs. Gao, are you here to make cheongsams today?"

"No, my family, Lan Xing, recommended that this shop is the first one to make cheongsams in this city, so you must come with me." Mrs. Gao nodded with Qian Yi, and continued: "Even the old man Everyone came to patronize, it seems that the girl really agreed, it's done, and I must be here today."

"Miss Gao is here too, why didn't you see anyone?" Mrs. Xu looked behind Mrs. Gao.

"She parked the car, and I'm waiting for her here. Today, my aunt and nephew went shopping, and I was muttering, what kind of dress should I wear on Mrs. Xu's birthday party? It was Lan Xing's suggestion. Since it is the elder's Happy event, of course the cheongsam is the most appropriate."

Qianyi recalled the scene of Mrs. Gao excitedly introducing her niece to her at the foundation laying ceremony a few days ago. It seems that the relationship between the aunt and nephew is really good.

"I haven't seen her for several years, and Mrs. Gao is really not easy. She finally brought up this niece, and she is quite promising." Madam Xu praised at this time.

"Where, I took two sons with me back then, and I had to raise this child who lost his parents. It's not easy to say, and I had a hard time at that time. I just wanted to keep her from starving. How dare I expect Lan to support her?" Promising, it is because this child knows how to make progress, by the way, has Mr. Xu reported to the old lady that Lan Xing has joined the Xu family now?"
