My Magic Age

Chapter 257 57. The story of the clothing store

Central Street is located on the central axis of Ayr City. From here, you can reach the southernmost gate of Ayr City. The northernmost end of Central Street is the City Square, where the City Hall and the War College are located. both sides. The entire street is very wide and can accommodate eight carriages driving side by side. The shops on both sides of the central street are lined up in rows, making it the most prosperous street in Ayr City.

Walking side by side under the shade of the fragrant trees on both sides of the street, Ya concentrated on looking at the various products in the shop windows. Her eyes were particularly bright, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. After being carefully styled, the usual simple ponytail has turned into slightly curly golden curls. There is also a silver butterfly tied to the end of the hair, with a few diamonds inlaid on it, which is very delicate.

Yaba is slightly taller than me by half a head. She is wearing a floral shirt with exquisite lace on the placket and collar. She is also wearing a gray short skirt made by a college assistant teacher, which makes her legs look slender.

Sophie walked on the other side of Ya. She was wearing a white long skirt with floral prints today. This skirt was very simple and elegant. On her feet was a pair of white sheepskin soft shoes. A bright smile filled her beautiful face. Her mood was as good as the weather today, and her eyes were as clear as the water of the Benma River. Wherever she goes, she attracts the attention of passers-by.

I really don’t know why Mo Xiang, Moras’s student, would let such a beautiful creature go and let her live in El City. I know that Sophie obviously has a great affection for the noble magician, but I can't figure out why she didn't stay.

I breathed out secretly. Fortunately, when I went out this morning, Fanny repeatedly dissuaded me from wearing the gray magic apprentice robe. Instead, she turned out the breeches and white sheepskin vest that I usually don't like to wear. Otherwise, walking together with Ya, their rustic magic robes would look ugly against their exquisite clothes.

Obviously, Ya is also very happy that I can attach so much importance to this shopping trip.

I looked at the exquisite bracelet on my left wrist. The entire circular and simple bracelet made of gold was engraved with a shallow row of runes symbolizing lightning. The style was also very exquisite. In addition, on my hand There is also a row of small characters engraved on the inside of the ring: "Dedicated to my dearest Ying Li". The final signature is only one word "Sha".

Ying Li told me that this was also a bracelet given to her by her best friend, and now she gave it to me.

I laughed at her and said you exchanged a gold bracelet for a piece of rotten stone, what a silly girl you are. She held the black stone tightly in her hand and said with a charming smile: "Don't even think about taking back the things you gave away!"

Seeing me staring at the golden bracelet in a daze, Ya looked over curiously, then wrinkled her little nose and asked suspiciously: "Why haven't I seen you wearing a bracelet before? This pattern looks so familiar, why do I feel like I saw it somewhere?" Pass?"

Sophie on the side also stretched her head over with a curious look on her face. She looked at the bracelet repeatedly for a long time before saying suspiciously: "I also think I must have seen it somewhere... But this matter, I should." It was a long time ago…”

"Ying Li gave it to me!" I didn't hide it. I directly raised my hand and showed off the gold bracelet generously.

"That's right, she's the little girl who goes to the library with you all day long! She does wear such a bracelet." Ya's tone did not fluctuate at all. After speaking, she actually asked curiously: "Jia , do you like little girls like that?”

"It's not bad, I feel very relaxed being with her!" I turned my face to one side, and then secretly looked at Ya's expression.

But Ya didn't feel any displeasure because of me. Instead, she asked me, "Then you didn't ask her to attend the dance together?"

She was a little proud when she asked this. I looked at her speechlessly, and then said dullly: "Of course I want to date you, but I haven't had time to say it yet!"

After hearing what I said, the smile on Ya's face became more obvious.

Sophie was quietly listening to the conversation between me and Ya, but never interrupted.

The largest clothing store in El City is located at No. 69 Central Street. The entire masonry building is very grand. There are exquisite dresses hanging on the clothes racks in the glass display windows. This is a store that specializes in selling high-end clothing and all kinds of exquisite products. The dress shop also sells some robes with magical properties. In short, this is a high-end clothing store.

When I walked into this clothing store, I discovered that the maids inside were all wearing uniforms, and each one of them had received professional training. They were well-behaved and smiling. When the three of us walked in, a sweet-looking maid appeared. He quickly took the initiative to greet us and asked, "Do the three guests need anything?"

Ya said directly: "Show me the evening dress!"

I secretly touched the money bag, not sure if the thirty silver coins in it were enough. The clothes in this shop are notoriously expensive. Fanny never comes here to buy clothes, although the clothes here are made well. They are very beautiful, but even Fanny and Lynette, who have a high income, have never thought of buying one or two gorgeous dresses here.

Sophie seemed to be very curious about this place. When she saw the numbers on the price tags, she quietly stuck out her tongue and whispered in Ya's ear: "I didn't expect Ya to be a rich little woman!"

"I'm a wood magician! I stayed in the jungle for more than half a year in an adventure group. We were very lucky that time. Everyone's harvest was very good. By the way, which one do you like? Just give it a try, I've never given you a gift before." Molayar stood in the dress area, flipping through various dresses casually.

"You want to give me such an expensive dress? What gift should I give you in return? Let's forget it. The dress I customized when I graduated is still very new. It's enough for the prom!" Sophie hesitated for a moment and then refused. , made me have a good impression of her. I didn’t expect that this beautiful girl had no vanity at all. After entering such a gorgeous store, she could still restrain her desires and say to her friends soberly: No.

Ya said indifferently: "Hey, Fei'er, are you a magician after all?"

"Yes, I am a water magician with an official certificate!" Sophie was still a little proud of her identity. But then he said weakly: "But I am just a water magician. I have not even participated in outdoor training outside of campus. I have never even set foot in other planes!"

"Do you also want to participate in the plane adventure? Maybe during the summer vacation, I can take you to find a reliable adventure group, and we will go together..." Molayar held a purple dress and was planning to go She gave it a try, but the chat with Sophie made her stop. She stood in front of the row of clothes racks and introduced some face situations to Sophie. Sophie was also very fascinated when she listened.

Maybe it was because the college invited a lot of people to the dance in the evening. There were so many people in the entire clothing store, especially the evening dress area, which was even more crowded. I saw several familiar faces of the young girls in the college. Such dress shops usually take orders for custom-made dresses, and will only buy these ready-made dresses for temporary emergencies.

...beautiful dividing line...

At this time, a group of very luxuriously dressed women came out from inside. They were wearing palace-style long skirts, revealing a large area of ​​white and greasy skin on their chests. It seemed that each of them was showing off their plump breasts, and they wore gorgeous clothes hanging under their snowy necks. jewelry necklace, and kept fanning the small folding fan in his hand as he walked, looking around at the dresses on the hangers.

As I stood behind Ya, I heard a noble lady say with slight dissatisfaction: "What's the matter? I was notified yesterday that I would accompany him to today's ball, and I couldn't even make a custom-made dress."

"Mr. Hawkins is still teaching at the War College? Doesn't that mean he is old enough?" another lady inquired.

When I heard this, I remembered that there really was a deputy director named Hawkins in the Teaching Office of the Junior Warrior Academy. It turned out that this young woman was his wife. But his wife is too young.

The young woman said casually: "I have to serve for another two years! I heard that the dean of the college said that he still needs to bring in a new director. After working for so many years, he is a little reluctant to let go!"

"That's a good thing! It turns out that I was retained by the dean. No wonder I can succeed. However, such a large-scale dance is usually not held by the eldest lady..." Before the other lady could finish her words, she realized that she had I made a mistake and quickly stopped talking. The fan in his other hand gently covered his red lips, and he smiled sheepishly.

The wife of the young dean of the education department gave her a dissatisfied look, but she couldn't avoid talking about it, so she said in a sharp voice: "She has been in poor health recently!"

Another noble lady saw the scene was a little cold, and quickly asked: "Mrs. Hawkins, your cupboard is already full of gorgeous dresses, why don't you just pick one from there? Look at you these days. My figure is not out of shape, still so slim!”

"Everything I have at home has been worn before, how can I wear it again! It seems that in such a hurry, I can only buy ready-made clothes." The young Mrs. Hawkins showed a proud smile again, and her eyes scanned all the clothes. There were clothes racks, but none of them suited her. When she looked at the blue dress in Molayar's hand, her eyes became brighter. She walked over with enchanting steps and squinted at the blue dress. color dress.

When she looked at Molayar again, she looked very careful and attentive. When her eyes glanced at the college skirt and uniform on Molayar's lower body, the corners of her mouth were already slightly curled up. With unique arrogance, he pointed at the blue dress and said to the maid on the side: "Show me that dress!"

The maid standing nearby heard Mrs. Hawkins's words and glanced at Molayar with some embarrassment. It was obvious that the young maid didn't know what to do. At this time, the ubiquitous store manager came out from behind, stood next to Ya very politely, and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss, I would like to ask, do you like this dress? Take a look. , there are some more exquisite ones for you!”

Ya originally wanted to take it and try it on, but she felt that the waist part of the skirt was a bit too thin, and wanted to ask the tailor in the shop to change the waist size, so she said, "This dress is good, but the waist is too thin." , please ask the tailor to put two sizes on for me, okay?”

The store manager could only show an awkward smile, nodded quickly and said: "I am willing to serve you, please wait a moment!"

Although she knew that Mrs. Hawkins was a regular customer, and that her husband was a well-established celebrity in Ayr City, and although the director of the Teaching Office of the War College was just a petty official, his social status was indeed not low, because Almost all the students who walked out from here held important positions in El City, so even if she was just the wife of the director of the teaching office, she still did not dare to neglect her.

However, the store also had its own rules, and she was not too partial to Mrs. Hawkins. However, this young girl, who seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes, obviously had no intention of giving up the dress, so she looked at Hawkins with some embarrassment. Mrs. Si glanced at her, and the meaning in her eyes was very clear, as if to say: Look, I persuaded her, but she also likes this dress very much, and I have no other choice!

The lady standing aside who had said the wrong thing and had retreated to the back hurriedly stepped forward to Molayar's side, stared at her with a noble posture and said: "This lady "Your figure is not suitable for this dress. It happens that my friend likes it very much. Do you think you can give it to us? We might as well make a friend. My husband teaches at the War College. Maybe he knows you."

Ya looked at the lady who rushed forward with some surprise. She didn't know what to say for a moment. As a magician, did she really need to know the faculty members who taught at the Zhan Zhan Academy?

The store manager standing aside immediately understood and said again: "Mrs. Hawkins is a gold member of our store. She has the first right to purchase clothes in the store! You'd better choose other dresses!"

The store manager said this, firstly, he wanted to give Ya a hint, that is, the woman standing in front of her was the wife of Hawkins, the director of the Education Department, and secondly, he also wanted to give Ya a step forward, that is, she was a member customer, which was the store's rule. , and the most important thing is that she wants to curry favor with the wife of the young director of the education department.

But Ya did not give up the blue dress. She directly picked up the black tuxedo suit with a blue tie and turned around to measure it on me. Except that the trouser legs and cuffs seemed a little too long. It fits quite well, because although my body looks like that of a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy, I have not grown up after all. My height is almost a head shorter than that of a normal adult, and my body is slightly thinner. There are only This men's suit also matches me very well.

"I want this one!" Molayar said directly to the store manager without giving up the dress in her hand.

The noble lady couldn't help but come closer again, and said softly to Molayar: "That lady is the wife of Hawkins, the director of your teaching department. Please give it to her quickly! There are so many styles of dresses in the shop, you Why do you have to buy this one?”

At this time, I stepped forward and reached out to take the blue evening dress and said, "Since you like it, let's buy it first!"

Seeing me saying this, Ya knew that I didn't want to make the matter a big deal, and I was still talking for her, so she nodded quickly and said: "Okay, then you choose this set, we agreed to buy a matching set, then Buy this one!”

In fact, Ya has already reached for the magician badge in her pocket. As a magician noble, Ya has certain privileges. At times like this, even if she is the mayor's wife, as long as she is not a noble, she can't get along with her. A real nobleman quarreling, doing so is offending the nobles, which has violated the laws of the Green Empire.

But when I stretched out my hand, the store manager saw the bracelet on my wrist, and it was like a basin of cold water was poured on his head. He stared at the gold bracelet on my wrist with his mouth open, and his expression changed several times. Change, carefully came to my side, quickly took the blue dress in my hand, and then quickly ordered the maid next to him: "Go and invite the master tailor Yamos, there is an evening dress waiting here. Change your waist size!”

"But isn't Yamos rushing to make the dean's wife's dress tonight?" the maid reminded in a low voice with a grimace.

"A simple change of waist size won't take much time, master. Go and do what I want!" The store manager pushed the maid, and the maid turned around and left.

Ya and Sophie and I were led directly into the lounge inside by the store manager.

Before leaving, the store manager saw the displeasure on Mrs. Hawkins's face and whispered a few words in the young Mrs. Hawkins' ear, which immediately made Mrs. Hawkins stunned.

The store manager took us to a small room upstairs in the store and said to me: "You are a distinguished guest of our store. If you come again next time, please just show your bracelet and we will provide you with the best quality products." Serve."

After saying that, I quickly left. When I saw the curved ruler, scissors, cloth ruler, and charcoal pencils placed on the table, I knew that this was a room where tailors specially provided measuring clothes for guests. The room was not too big, but The seats were very comfortable, and there were some exquisite pastries on the table. The three of them sat in the comfortable attic room. Soon the maids brought soft cheese and cold juice. I tasted a piece of cheese. It tastes great.

Not long ago, a middle-aged tailor came over, measured the three of us, and asked about the parts that needed to be changed, and then left in a hurry, taking away the two dresses.

There were only three of us left in the room. Sophie even jokingly said to Ya: "Ya, do you think they will take the dress away and not come back?"

Ya rolled her eyes at her unhappily, and then said to me: "What's the matter with your bracelet?"

I was also confused, shook my head blankly, and said to her: "This is what Yingli gave me this morning."

Ya didn't ask any more questions, just drank the juice silently. Not long after, a maid pushed in two hangers of dresses from outside, saying that we could choose any of them.

Finally, under Ya's instigation, Sophie also chose a light yellow dress, but like her floral dress, the whole dress did not have any extra exquisite lace and patterns, very plain, but when worn on Sophie, it looked like a delicate yellow rose.

Originally, these three sets of dresses would cost at least two gold coins, but they only charged us twenty silver coins for the resizing fee. The store manager personally packed them into a beautiful gift box and sent them to us.

On the way back, we sat in the carriage, Ya was still thinking about this matter, the three of us felt like we were sleepwalking, everything seemed a little unreal, Sophie sat next to Ya and suddenly said: "I remember where I saw this bracelet, this bracelet used to belong to Sally, I must have seen it in her jewelry box..."

Is this the lightning symbol of the Aili family? I feel like my brain is a little confused, could it be that Ying Li and the little princess of the Aili family are friends?

The scenery on both sides of the carriage window kept running backwards, we were on the way to the college, Ya kept urging the coachman to let the horse run faster, we didn't want to miss the opening of the art performance.

My thoughts seemed to be following this carriage, running forward quickly...
