15. Chapter 15 Wedding Dress (1)

Mother Liu over there was also dragged away by Liu Lan'er. As she left, she even shouted that the Li family should come to Liu Lan'er to eat wedding candy when she got married.

Iroh thought he had a poor sense of direction and had already lost sight of things when he entered the store. After entering, he only saw a row of satin and cotton fabrics behind the counter on the left, with all kinds of colors. The most surprising thing is that the store is actually divided into left and right, and all are on the right.

Some of the fabrics used for wedding dresses are full of various colors of red, which is very festive.

Mother Li only asked her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to accompany Yiluo to choose the fabric for the wedding dress. She herself picked some quilts and stuff on the left side. She was not going to ask Yiluo's opinion on these things, so she only picked up the festive quilt tops.

Picked.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law sandwiched Yi Luo into the right room. As soon as she walked in, Yi Luo praised the prosperous cloth industry here.

There was also a girl here selecting fabrics accompanied by her family, so the three of them, Yi Luo, also walked over to look through it.

The young man also came over to greet you very enthusiastically: "Girl, congratulations first, just pick out the one you like. I'll cut it for you here."

Iroh nodded with a smile and looked down. There were not only cotton, satin and the like on the fabrics, but also tulle. Some tulles had a harder texture, and some had a softer texture.

Yiluo touched the two types of red gauze and already had the prototype of the wedding dress in mind, thinking that both gauze and cotton should be better. Choose a hard red gauze to make a wide-sleeved and slightly floor-length coat, and then use cotton of the same color.

Make a sleeveless wrap-around skirt.

Yiluo made up his mind and turned to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, how many feet of cloth does it take to make a skirt?"

My eldest sister-in-law, who had never made any clothes before, smiled and replied: "With my sister's height, she is more than eight feet tall. My sister has already chosen it. Do you want silk or satin?"

Yiluo said, "I don't want either. I want this kind of organza and cotton."

The second sister-in-law suggested from the side: "You can also use organza to make a coat, but the wedding dress should be made of silk and satin. Otherwise, be careful what your mother says to you."

Yiluo smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, the clothes I want to make look better with cotton than with satin. I'm not afraid of what my mother will say." Seeing Yiluo's insistence, the two sisters-in-law had no choice but to agree.

I thought if it didn't work, I might try again.

So the three of them chose a red color and asked the clerk to cut the fabric. However, Yiluo, who was wearing organza, asked for ten feet, thinking that there was a lot of fabric for the outer shirt and that it might be used for other purposes.

The clerk wrapped the cloth and handed it to Yi Luo with a smile: "Girl, Shenghui is two taels, the organza one is more expensive."

Yiluo pointed to Mother Li in the other room and said, "We are together, let's figure it out together later."

The waiter looked at it and nodded with a smile, and then said to Yiluo: "Girl, if you don't want to pick some embroidery threads, we have many new colors here." After saying that, he laid out the embroidery threads of various colors, and Yiluo

I took it to look at the embroidery thread.

The second sister-in-law pulled Yi Luo and said with a smile: "Luo'er has to choose another one."

Yiluo was a little confused after hearing this, and suddenly remembered what Liu's mother had just said about the clothes she needed to change for the ceremony. So she asked the second sister-in-law carefully, and only found out after listening to the second sister-in-law's explanation.

It turns out that the status of women here is not that low. On the wedding day, after the wedding ceremony, the husband will lead a toast to some elders in the afternoon.

For those who are fastidious, the bride will usually prepare two sets of clothes, a wedding dress and a simpler dress; for those who are not fastidious, the bride will only wear a wedding dress from beginning to end.

After hearing the explanation, Iroh thought that since he had paid homage, he shouldn't need Zhenghong. No wonder there were so many other reds here.

So Yiluo didn't hesitate and picked out pink soft gauze and cotton of the same color. However, her sister-in-law thought pink was too plain and insisted on replacing the pink cotton with crimson silk. Seeing that, Yiluo didn't argue with her sister-in-law, but insisted.

Just don't replace the pink tulle.

After choosing the fabric, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law discussed with Yiluo what flowers to embroider on the wedding dress. In the end, the two sisters-in-law liked peonies, so they decided to embroider them with peonies.

Yiluo's eyes were dizzy after listening to it. Peony? How long will it take to embroider it? Yiluo thought for a moment and smiled: "Sister-in-law, how about peach blossoms? Peach blossoms are beautiful and have good meanings."

The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law said it was too simple, and Yiluo said helplessly: "I won't be able to embroider peonies well when the time comes."

In the end, they listened to Yi Luo and the three of them chose pink, green, green and brown cotton threads. The boy calculated that they had four liang or four dollars in total.

When they arrived in the left room, Mother Li had already picked out a quilt and several kinds of fabrics for Yiluo to make some home clothes. Seeing Yiluo and the others coming out, Mother Li asked the gang to do the calculations, a total of twelve or three coins.

.

After hearing the boy's report, Yiluo thought that the wedding dress was quite expensive. After paying the bill, the store gave away enough cotton thread for making clothes and quilts, which could be regarded as a way for the store to attract customers.

When Mother Li saw that all the fabrics were bought, she said to her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law: "You and Luo'er, you can go shopping again. I will take these to your elder brother and wait for you."

The sister-in-law said a little worriedly: "Mom, there are so many things, can you take them all by yourself?"

Mother Li replied: "I just made an agreement with the store and I will find someone to help deliver it."

So the three of them no longer refused, just said something and went out. Before leaving the store, Mother Li gave Yi Luo some broken silver.

Although Iroh had already had a deep impression of the prosperity here when he was in the cloth shop, he still couldn't help but be amazed when he walked around the streets.

There are rows of street stalls and numerous shops on both sides of the road.

Yiluo, however, prefers to stay at small stalls. Maybe the surprise will be at the next stall.

Iroh excitedly looked over them one by one, and finally found a good thing. It was a peach-shaped earring, about three or four centimeters long, with two peach blossoms on each end of the earring, which was very cute.

Yi Luo secretly laughed: It was really fate when I saw it. When I go back, I will ask my sister-in-law to embroider peach blossoms on the shoes. I will have a peach blossom theme for my wedding, peach blossoms.

So Yiluo asked the stall owner the price. The sister-in-law on the side negotiated the price with the stall owner and rushed to pay.

After that, the three of them bought some other bits and pieces. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were so exaggerated that they bought Yiluo a new grate, comb, rouge and other girly products.

After buying these odds and ends, it was almost the end of the day, and there were far fewer people on the street than at the beginning.

Seeing that there was nothing left to buy, the three of them prepared to go back with large and small bags. When they turned back from East Street, they bought some pastries for the children.

On the way back, Ilo unexpectedly discovered a spice shop that he hadn't noticed when he went there. Remembering that the bag he had made was still empty, Ilo told his sister-in-law that he was going to buy some spices.

So the three aunts and sisters went to the spice shop. The spices here are also very complete, with all kinds of fragrances. As soon as you enter the shop, you are greeted by the fragrance that fills the room, making it difficult to distinguish what fragrances are there.
