my age of magic

Chapter 257 57. The Story of the Clothing Store
Central Avenue is located on the central axis of El City. From here, you can reach the southernmost gate of El City, while the northernmost end of Central Avenue is the city square, where the City Hall and War College are located. sides.The entire street is very wide, enough for eight carriages to drive side by side. The shops on both sides of the central street are lined up one after another, making it the busiest street in El City.

Walking side by side under the shade of Lianxiang trees on both sides of the street, Ya focused on looking at the various products in the shop window. Her eyes were extraordinarily bright, and there was always a vague smile on the corner of her mouth. After careful handling, the usual simple ponytail has turned into slightly curly golden curly hair, and a silver butterfly is tied on the tip of the hair, inlaid with a few broken diamonds, which is very delicate.

Ya is slightly taller than me by half a head, wearing a floral shirt with exquisite lace embroidery on the front and neckline, but she is also wearing a gray standard skirt for assistant teachers of the college on her lower body, making her legs look slender.

Sophie was walking on the other side of Ya. Today, she was wearing a long white dress with floral prints. This skirt was very elegant, and she had a pair of white sheepskin soft shoes on her feet.There is a bright smile on the beautiful pretty face, her mood is as good as today's weather, and her eyes are 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, the student of Moras, would let such a beautiful stunner go, and let her live in El City.I know that Sophie clearly has a crush on that noble magician, but I can't figure out why she didn't stay.

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

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

I looked at the exquisite bracelet on the wrist of my left hand. The round and simple bracelet made of gold was engraved with a shallow row of runes symbolizing lightning. The style was also very exquisite. There is also a row of shallow small characters engraved on the inner side of the ring: "Dedicated to my dearest Yingli", and the last inscribed name has only one word "Sha".

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

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

Seeing me staring at the golden bracelet in a daze, Ya also looked over curiously, then wrinkled her small 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, showing a curious look, looked at the bracelet repeatedly for a long time, and then said suspiciously: "I also think I must have seen it somewhere... But this matter, it should be A long time ago..."

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

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

"It's okay, it feels very relaxed to be with her!" I turned my face to the side, and secretly looked at Ya's expression.

But Ya didn't feel any displeasure because of me, instead she asked me: "Then you didn't invite her to the dance?"

She was a little complacent when she asked this question, I looked at her speechlessly, and then said sullenly: "Of course I really want to make a date, but I haven't had time to say it yet!"

Hearing what I said, the smile on Ya's face became even more obvious.

Sophie quietly listened to my conversation with Ya, but didn't interrupt.

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

When I walked into this clothing store, I found that the maids inside were all wearing uniform clothes, and each of them had received professional training. They behaved decently and smiled. Seeing the three of us walking in, there was a sweet-looking maid Hastily and proactively greeted him and asked, "Do you need anything for the three guests?"

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 store are notoriously expensive. Fanny never comes here to buy clothes, although the clothes here are made It was beautiful, but even Fanny and Lyont, who were well paid, never thought of coming here to buy a gorgeous gown or two.

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

"I'm a wood magician! I spent more than half a year in the jungle with an adventure group. We were very lucky that time, and everyone's harvest was very good. By the way, which one do you like? Just try it, I have never given you a gift before." Morayal stood in the dress area, casually looking through various dresses.

"You want to give me such an expensive dress? What gift should I give you back? Forget it. The dress I ordered when I graduated is still very new. It's enough for the prom!" Sophie hesitated for a while and refused. , let me have some good feelings for her. I didn't expect that this beautiful girl has no vanity at all. After entering such a gorgeous store, she can still restrain her desire and soberly say to her friends: no.

But Ya said indifferently: "Hey, Mayfair, are you a magician after all?"

"I am, 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'm just a water magician. I haven't even participated in field training outside the campus, and I haven't even set foot in other planes!"

"Do you also want to participate in the face adventure? Maybe during the summer vacation, I can take you to find a reliable adventure group, and the two of us will go together..." Morayal was holding a purple dress and was going to go Try it, but the chat with Sophie made her stop, and she stood in front of the row of clothes racks and introduced some face-to-face situations to Sophie, and Sophie was also fascinated by it.

Perhaps it was because many people were invited to the evening ball of the college, and there were so many people in the clothing store, especially in the evening dress area, it was even more crowded. I saw several familiar faces of the young girls in the college.Such dress shops usually accept orders for custom-made dresses, and only buy these ready-made clothes for temporary emergencies.

...beautiful dividing line...

At this time, a group of very luxuriously dressed women came out from the inside. They wore court-style long skirts, and a large piece of white and greasy skin was exposed on their chests. It seemed that each of them was showing their plump breasts. He kept fanning the small folding fan in his hand while walking, and looked around at the dresses on the hangers.

Standing behind Ya, I heard a lady say with a little dissatisfaction: "What's the matter, I was notified to accompany him to today's ball yesterday, even if he wanted a custom-made dress, it was too late."

"Mr. Hawkins is still teaching at the War College? Doesn't it mean that he has reached the limit?" Another lady asked.

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: "There will be another two years! I heard that the dean of the college opened the mouth, saying that he still needs to bring a new director. After working for so many years, he is also a little bit reluctant!"

"That's really a good thing! It turned out that he was retained by the dean, no wonder he was able to succeed, but such a large-scale ball is usually not with the eldest lady..." Before the other lady could finish her sentence, she realized that she A slip of the tongue, quickly shut up.The fan in the other hand gently covered her red lips, and she smiled embarrassedly.

The wife of the young dean of teaching gave her a dissatisfied look, but she couldn't avoid talking about it, so she said sharply, "She's not feeling well recently!"

Seeing the coldness of the scene, another lady hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Hawkins, your cupboard is already full of gorgeous dresses. Why don't you just pick one from there? See how you dress these days." The figure is not out of shape, it is still so slender!"

"The clothes at home are all worn, how can I wear them again! It seems that I can only buy ready-made clothes in such a hurry." The young Mrs. Hawkins smiled smugly again, and her eyes swept over all the clothes. The hangers, but none of them suit her mind. When she looked at the blue dress in Morayal's hand, her eyes became brighter, and she walked over with enchanting steps, squinting at the blue dress. dresses.

When she looked at Morayal again, she seemed very careful and careful. When her eyes swept over the college skirt and uniform on Morayal's lower body, the corners of her mouth were already slightly curled up. With a unique arrogance, he pointed to the blue dress and said to the maid beside him, "Show me that dress!"

The maid standing by the side heard Mrs. Hawkins' words, and looked at Morayal with some embarrassment. Obviously, this young maid didn't know what to do.At this time, the ubiquitous store manager came out from behind, stood beside Ya very politely, and said with a smile: "Hello, miss, I would like to ask, have you seen this dress? Look at it." , 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 too thin, and wanted to ask the tailor in the shop to change the waist size, so she said: "This one is very good, but the waist is too thin , ask the tailor to put two sizes on for me, will you?"

The store manager could only show a distressed 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-known celebrity in the city of Ayr, and although the director of the teaching office of the War College was just a small official, his social status was indeed not low, because Almost all the students who go out from here hold important positions in the city of El, so even if it's just the little wife of the dean of teaching, she still doesn't dare to neglect her.

It's just that the shop also has its own rules, and she doesn't favor Mrs. Hawkins too much, and this seemingly ordinary young girl obviously didn't intend to give up the dress, so she looked at Hawking with some embarrassment. Mrs. Si glanced at her, and the meaning in that look was also obvious, as if to say: Look, I persuaded her, but she also likes this dress very much, and I have no other choice!

Standing at the side had said something wrong originally, the lady who had retreated to the back hastily stepped forward at this time, went to Morayal's side, stared at Ya'er with a noble posture and said: "This lady , your figure is not suitable for this dress, it just so happens that my friend likes it very much, can you give it to us? We might as well make friends, my husband teaches in the War College, maybe he knows you."

Ya looked at this lady who rushed forward in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while. As a magician, do I really need to know those faculty members who teach in Zhanzheng College?
The store manager standing aside immediately understood and said again: "Ms. Hawkins is a gold member in our store. She has the priority to buy the clothes in the store! You should choose other dresses!"

When the store manager said this, he wanted to give Ya a reminder that the woman standing in front of her was the wife of Hawkins, the director of the teaching department, and also wanted to give Ya a higher level, that is, she is a member customer, which is the store's regulation. , and most importantly, she wanted to curry favor with the wife of the young dean of teaching.

But Ya didn't give up on the blue dress, she directly picked up the black tuxedo suit with blue bow tie on the side, turned around and compared it to me, except that the trouser legs and cuffs seemed a little longer, It fits quite well, because although my body looks like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, I haven't grown up after all, and my height is almost a head behind a normal adult, and my body is slightly thin. This men's dress also matches me very well.

"I want this one!" Morayal said directly to the store manager, without giving up the dress in his hand.

The lady couldn't help but approached a little closer again, approaching Morayal and said softly: "That lady is the wife of Hawkins, the director of your teaching department, you should give it to her quickly! There are so many styles of dresses in the shop, you Why don't you buy this one!"

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

Seeing what I said, Ya knew that I didn't want to make a big deal, and I was still helping 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 out to touch the magician badge in her pocket. As a magician nobleman, Ya has certain privileges. At a time like this, even if she is the wife of the mayor, as long as she is not a nobleman, she has no way to get along with her. A real noble contends that doing so offends the nobles, which has violated the laws of the Grimm Empire.

But when I stretched out my hand, the store manager saw the bracelet on my wrist, and it seemed like a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. He stared dumbfounded at the gold bracelet on my wrist, and his expression changed several times. Changed, he approached me cautiously, swiftly took the blue dress in my hand, and then hurriedly told the maid beside him: "Go and invite Your Excellency Amos, the master tailor, here is an evening dress waiting for you." Change your waist size!"

"But isn't Amos rushing to make the dress for the dean's wife tonight?" the maid reminded in a low voice with a bitter face.

"Simply changing the size of your waist won't take much time for Master, so 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 directly led into the lounge inside by the store manager.

Before leaving, the store manager saw Mrs. Hawkins' displeasure, so he whispered a few words in the ear of the young Mrs. Hawkins, 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 valued guest of our store. If you come again next time, please show your bracelet directly, and we will provide you with the best quality products." Serve."

After finishing speaking, I quickly backed out. Looking at the curved ruler, scissors, cloth ruler, and charcoal pencils on the table, I knew that this was a room specially designed for tailors to measure clothes for customers. The room was not too big, but The seats are very comfortable, and there are some exquisite pastries on the table. The three of them sat in the comfortable attic room. After a while, the maids brought soft cheese and cold juice. I tasted a piece of cheese, The taste is very good.

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

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

Ya gave her an angry look, 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 in the morning."

Ya didn't ask any more questions, just drank the juice silently. When time was running out, a maid pushed in two hangers of dresses from the outside, saying that they were for us to choose at will.

In the end, under Ya's instigation, Sophie also chose a light yellow dress, but like her floral dress, the whole dress didn't have any extra delicate lace or patterns, it was very plain, It's just that it looks like a delicate yellow rose when worn on Sophie's body.

Originally, these three dresses cost at least two gold coins, but they only charged us [-] silver coins for resizing. The store manager personally packed them into exquisite gift boxes and delivered them to us.

On the way back, we were sitting in the carriage, Ya was still thinking about this matter, the three of us felt like we were sleepwalking, all this seemed unreal, Sophie sat beside Ya, and suddenly said: "I Thinking about it, where did I see this bracelet, this bracelet used to belong to Sarah Allie, I must have seen it in her jewelry box..."

Is this actually the lightning symbol of the Eri family?I feel like I can't turn my mind around a bit. Could it be that Yingli and the little princess from Aili's family are friends?

The scenery on both sides outside the window of the carriage kept running backwards. We were on our 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 cultural performance.

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