The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat
Chapter 158 Attending the Banquet
Ding Yingzhen asked curiously, "Why don't you buy a few pieces for your mother?"
"Both brands are too formal. My mom likes the relaxed, old money style, preferably a niche European brand."
"Your mother is really good at choosing. The more that kind of thing, the harder it is to buy."
Lu Qing put the clothes she had given away separately, "Isn't it? She keeps going to Europe to buy clothes, and I can't stand it. I was planning to give a few pieces to Xiaoyu and Xinxin, but I've been stupid for three years since I got pregnant, and I can't remember their sizes, so let them choose for themselves."
Ding Yingzhen looked at the pile of newly bought clothes and said, "What are you going to wear tonight? You have a lot at home, so hurry up and pick one."
"That's what I think. Tonight is not a banquet full of celebrities, nor is it an occasion for wealthy people to gather. It's a cocktail party held by a university. The women who attend are probably mostly intellectuals. Intellectuals, after all, can't do without that kind of academic style. If I wear my usual gray and black clothes, I won't stand out."
Ding Yingzhen stared at the boss expressionlessly, "So you just watched me pick a gray one?"
"Yes, I plan not to let you get more attention than me, OK?"
Ding Yingzhen said honestly, "OK."
"Zhao Xinzhi was supposed to have some premiere ceremonies last month, and Zhang Chen prepared a lot of clothes for her, but it kept getting postponed. Didn't the summer schedule become the National Day schedule? One of the cheongsams she prepared is no longer needed. I asked her to borrow it last week. I had planned to wear it when taking family photos with Le Ning. Now it looks perfect with the ruby."
Lu Qing rang the bell, "Who's on the first floor? Ask Huang Dong to come over."
Huang Dong came upstairs quickly, and Lu Qing said to her, "Please take out the cheongsam I want to use for the photo."
Huang Dong quickly brought a lilac-colored Suzhou-style cheongsam from the cloakroom. Ding Yingzhen praised the color as soon as she saw it. "This color is really good, light and not ostentatious, but not as boring as white."
"Yes, I liked it the first time I saw it. It looks a bit like the dried rose color or mallow purple that is popular now. It's really classy."
Ding Yingzhen came closer to take a look and said, "This material is good too. The printed pattern is clear, simple, elegant and fresh."
"This is hand-embroidered! Take a closer look!"
Ding Yingzhen looked at the faint peony carefully, but couldn't really tell it was embroidered. She touched it and found that it was really a pattern embroidered stitch by stitch. "Oh, how much work does it take? It's not easy for people to do this job."
Lu Qing thought about today's inspection. "How can it be easy? Even for the children it's not easy. It was so hot this morning. We must have rehearsed several times to welcome our group of children. And, Weisker said that we won't go to the next few stations. All their preparations have gone to waste."
"Okay, stop sighing and change your clothes! The makeup artist will be here soon."
Lu Qing changed into a cheongsam and came out to look in the mirror.
Huang Dong and Ding Yingzhen kept praising the dress for its beauty. Lu Qing looked at herself in the mirror and thought that everything about the dress, the color, the collar, and the embroidery were good. "You know what, this dress really makes me look good when I wear it. It's worth the 100,000 yuan."
Huang Dong and Ding Yingzhen couldn't help but look at each other. They knew that the dress was good, but they didn't expect that a cheongsam could be worth one hundred thousand yuan.
"I don't plan to return this dress to Zhao Xinzhi. I want to keep it. Dong, go get the ruby set. I've already put it on the table in the cloakroom."
Huang Dong brought out the jewelry box, carefully took out the set of rubies that Weisker had spent five million on, and put them on Lu Qing.
The ruby jewelry itself is very eye-catching, and it complements the low-saturation lilac cheongsam very well.
"Would you like a matching clutch tonight?"
"Get one so you can put your phone in it."
Lu Qing took Ding Yingzhen to look at her wall of bags. "Pick whatever you want! But you have to return them to me after use. I never give my bags to anyone."
Lu Qing picked out a handmade Xiangyunsha purse for herself, which was just the right size to fit a large-screen mobile phone.
Ding Yingzhen picked out an elephant grey clutch bag.
Just as they made their selection, the hairstylist and makeup artist arrived.
Based on the two people's clothes and temperament, the stylist designed two different hairstyles for them, Lu Qing's was more Chinese style, and Ding Yingzhen's was more Western style.
Before six o'clock, Lao Fan brought dinner. The makeup artist told the two of them to just eat and to touch up their makeup before going out.
Chef Fan is very thoughtful. Tonight's meals are all very refreshing, filling and suitable for protecting the stomach. It can be said to be a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine.
The sea cucumber millet porridge is of course great, and one of the bread dishes, honey butter rusks, is perfect to eat before drinking.
Of course, the delicious cold salmon that Lu Qing mentioned last time is indispensable.
Lu Qing smiled in her heart. Lao Fan was just like her mother. As long as Lu Qing said something was delicious, it would be on the table for every meal until they were full.
"Your chef thought we were going out for a drinking contest, so he prepared the dishes to prevent us from getting drunk."
Lu Qing said, "This is exactly what he meant. I'm just holding a glass of wine tonight to show my appreciation. If anyone tries to persuade me, I'll say that my child is too young to drink. What excuse are you going to use?"
Ding Yingzhen said without hesitation, "I was going to say I'll drive for you!"
The two of them had almost finished eating, and Huang Ying and Xiao Feng came up to clean up. "Madam, I just came up and saw that it seemed that the eldest young master had returned at the door."
Sure enough, not long after, Fu Yanheng arrived.
"Why are you back? Aren't you supposed to be gone for two days?"
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Huiske is unpredictable. He looked at one park and thought it was good, but he didn't want to look at the rest." Ding Yingzhen also stood up and greeted Fu Yanheng.
Fu Yanheng nodded to Ding Yingzhen and praised, "This man is decisive in killing, no wonder he has achieved such success."
Lu Qing stood up, told him about the cocktail party, and asked him to comment on her clothes today.
Fu Yanheng likes Lu Qing to wear cheongsam the most. The one she wore today is not Lu Qing’s favorite black, white and gray, but a light pink one, which makes Lu Qing look more dignified and gentle.
"People try on clothes and horses try on saddles. I took a look at this dress Zhao Xinzhi sent over, and I really didn't think it was anything special. When you put it on, you look like a fairy descending from heaven."
Lu Qing was very touched to hear her husband praising her so much. She wanted to tell him about the thrilling flight today and it seemed like it was almost time to set off.
"Hubby, you should go too. Weisker has invited our whole family to go."
"No, they asked you to be their female companion, so why would I go? You two go, I'll let the sea take you there."
"No, let the sea rest tonight. Weisker will send a car over soon."
Before he finished speaking, the car arrived at the door.
It was indeed the consulate’s stretched Lincoln.
The driver opened the door for the two ladies. Lu Qing and Ding Yingzhen, one pink and one gray, got into the car as gracefully as two butterflies.
