Chapter 3155: The Dreamy Voice of the Magnificent Cloth Workshop
Chapter 3152 Grey Clothing/Dream Silk Words
Although something happened, during the subsequent dinner, neither Shade, Flora nor Miss Bell showed any abnormalities because of Flora's "apologetically gift".
Shade, Sylvia, Flora, Margaret and Miss Bell, who were asked to sit down, raised their wine glasses to celebrate this brief meeting at Virondale.
The girls were very happy, and even Margaret, who was lost in the afternoon because of her sister's departure, adjusted her mood. During dinner, she was actually having a fierce ideological struggle. When the pudding, which was a dessert, was delivered after dinner, Her Royal Highness had already made ideological construction and prepared to send out that precious "gift" tonight. .
She had always promised Xia De to do this before, but today was her sister's funeral, so she hesitated whether to choose today. But since she knew that Xia De wanted to go back overnight, she urged herself in her heart not to miss this opportunity:
"Otherwise I will not be the first witch apprentice to do this if I keep waiting."
So after dinner, Margaret wanted to invite Shade not to leave immediately. She had arranged a romantic enough occasion to promote the follow-up story. But before His Highness the Princess spoke, Sylvia said to her:
"Margaret, I asked Xia De to stay and read a paper for me. The paper was left in your study in Lengquan Palace. Can you help me pick it up? We are waiting for you to come back in the club. .”
Since it was the teacher's request, Margaret naturally would not refuse, and she didn't have to speak by herself if Xia De was kept. So the blonde princess left with Flora and Miss Bell who were already very satisfied today. When the door closed and there were only two rooms left, the young black-haired witch turned around and looked at Xia De with a smile.
"Margaret will probably take some time to come back, so it's not interesting to wait here. Xia De, please accompany me out for a walk."
It is the middle of winter, and even if you are not afraid of the cold, it is not suitable to wander around the city at night. However, Sylvia has her own excuse:
"It just so happens that there are some things I want to ask for help, so that's not a problem. Margaret will see us after she comes back with her thesis."
But she knew Margaret would definitely not be back.
"Ordinary trouble or trouble related to relics?"
As Xia De said, he went to the hanger to get his coat, but Sylvia took the lead and came to the hanger and signaled her to wear it for Xia De:
"You will know when you arrive, that's not a big trouble."
The daytime in Virondeer is very different from Tobesque. After the citizens returned home and the shops closed, the night view of the Central City was very similar to Tobesque in initially, but carefully It's still a little different to see it.
The streets here are narrower and most of the roads are not straight. Those well-connected road networks connect every corner of the city, and the shape of gas street lamps on both sides of the slightly narrow streets looks more unique and novel than De La Reion - the shape of street lamps along the street in the north is classic and traditional. .
The one who drove was Sylvia's follower. Although the young girl was only at the level of the Fifth Ring Road, her real identity was a graduate student in the mathematics department of "Wilundell University". Most of the followers of the Big Witch in Space were born like this.
The snowflakes that began to fall since the evening were still falling, and the carriage finally stopped in front of the third-floor shop on the southwest side of the intersection, which was probably located in the city center.
The shop itself is an ancient brick and stone building, embedded like a right angle between two crossing streets.
"This is not an intersection, it is a small square. Look, isn't there a small fountain in the middle? There will be quite lively scenes around the fountain during the day, including spice vendors, hawking newspaper boys, performing magicians, and coming and going. Together, people form a bustling street view. This is the core of the Upper Town of Virondale, and it is only two streets from Cold Spring Palace."
Sylvia explained to Shade softly.
The elegant arched window frames and complex iron decoration in the shop in front of you make you feel at a glance that the wallet in this place is not thick and cannot be entered. The gate opposite the square fountain is made of finely carved oak wood, and the door frames and window frames are also inlaid with golden copper strips, shining brightly under the street lights.
In front of the grand double-opening door are three-story curved steps. On the platform on the front door are exquisite stone sculptures depicting gorgeous vines and flowers, making it look like a store but an art gallery of some kind. A golden plaque hung on the side of the gate, saying "Exquisite Cloth Works" and colorful glass inlaid between the letters. Xia De could simply imagine the scene when the sun shines during the day.
"The rent in this place must be not cheap. The third floor covers such a large area, so it is actually very suitable for the site selection of the National Bank."
Xia De couldn't help but sigh.
"This is Margaret's private property. There are not many members of the Anjou royal family. The lion Ryan is not stingy with giving various rewards to his children. I remember this was given to her by Margaret when she was sixteen years old. One of the coming-of-age gifts. Now Margaret rents this place to me to sell goods. It was originally the best cloth shop in the city, but now it has become the most popular store in Virondale. "
Sylvia smiled, and then Xia De said again:
"I thought you would give the store a chic name."
The young witch continued to smile and answer:
"The other products of chemical synthetic fiber have not yet been put into production. At present, we are just using silk wa to collect funds. Selling this kind of product is not suitable for over-promotion. After all, some people have said that we are selling 'love q.u/chen.g people' Now.
So in order not to damage Margaret's reputation, the store name has not changed. The customers entering the main entrance still bought ordinary high-end fabrics. The store also has a semi-public side door that everyone knows, and the one hanging there is the real one. Shop sign. ”
Xia De then asked curiously:
"So what's the real sign? Sylvia's fabric store?"
The witch replied in a low voice:
"A very beautiful name - Dreamweaver Silks."
This store is only responsible for sales, and the production workshop, which is believed by locals to have secret formulas, is located in another place. The young girl was guarding the carriage outside, while the shopkeeper quickly disappeared after opening the door.
Sylvia walked into it with Shade, snapped her fingers and made the gas lights on the wall light up. But compared to the first floor of this large and active store, the gas lights were only three, and they were all lit at the lowest brightness, so the interior still looked dim.
On the surface, it is indeed just a high-end fabric store. The walls are covered with exquisite tapestries and embroidered curtains. The dim light of the gas lights illuminates the exquisite glass windows, which will probably be more beautiful during the day.
The layout of the store is symmetrical, the spacious space is divided into different display areas, and various fabrics are neatly placed on oak shelves with brass signs, which are decorated with complex carvings, full of classical charm.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
Under the feet are marble tiles, and the clever pattern and color match form a complex geometric pattern that changes continuously. This is probably Sylvia's own design. There is a huge and gorgeous crystal chandelier that has not been lit up on the ceiling, and the surrounding ceiling is also painted with exquisite flowers and leaves, perfectly presenting the artist's exquisite painting skills.
In addition to the shelves, the central display area of the store also has carefully folded fabrics placed on the fabric table.
Those fabrics are works of art in themselves, smooth silk, delicate embroidery, exquisite tweed fabrics, and even some silks imported from the Kingdom of Overseas Archipelago, ranging from deep sapphire blue to soft rose pink. Xiade even wanted Bring some back to Dorothy and the others.
Tables with gorgeous velvet fabrics, velvet curtains, lamps and lenses for lighting above the shopping area, antique accessories and ornaments, mirrored walls for appreciation of fabrics, gas lamps specially designed for handmade craftsmen, every detail They all reveal the ultimate sense of luxury.
Take a deep breath and you can smell the scent of lavender and roses in the air. If you use a phonograph to play soft music during the daytime, this is the most luxurious shop of this era that foreigners can imagine.
"More exaggerated than I thought."
"That's all, before my product came out, this was the largest high-end fabric store in the entire city of Virondale. Unfortunately, it's not during the day, otherwise Margaret would have found a store interior designed by professional designers, which is even more so than now. Better be more beautiful.”
Sylvia said, instead of taking Xia De towards the tiled spiral staircase to the upper floor, he led him all the way inward, and after lifting the curtain partition, he came to the rear of the store. The decoration here is no different from the front of the store, except that the items displayed are not fabrics, all of them are the ladies' leg fabrics.
In order to show the lightness and light-transmitting effect of the fabric as much as possible, there are many expensive wax figure models in the rear shop.
Wax figures with only leg fabrics are certainly undecent, so the clerks matched them with some ladies' interior clothing and red/black patent leather heels but even so, all the fabrics on a wax figure add up and there is still no summer There are many coats in Germany.
However, there are also some wax figures wearing evening gowns or thick winter long skirts, which are specially designed to sit down or stand on their legs to show the effect of fabrics and different clothes.
Xia De's eyes were immediately attracted by those models with different clothes and figures. He guessed that it is likely that this place will not be open to male customers.
Sylvia also noticed Xia De's expression, and she pulled his hand while showing a smile on her face:
"What's the fake one? Come with me, the trouble I'm talking about is still here."
