Chapter 959: The Fallen Bloodline 3
Versace?!
A mouthful of oatmeal almost didn't squirt, and I wanted to laugh when I heard the name.
To be honest, it was the little girl outside who wanted to see him, and she didn't feel for luxury brands.
Xining finally endured it, swallowed the oats in his mouth, picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped his mouth: "Who is he, what am I looking for him for?" ”
"You didn't see that person in the morning?" The Baroness also looked terribly nervous.
"See, it's so ugly." Hienin had a spoon in her hand and spun it in the bowl.
Ugly? The baroness looked at her with suspicion, and her daughter didn't have an aesthetic problem: "What kind of man is handsome?" ”
Xining raised his chin towards his father: "Daddy, tall and strong, now a little blessed, but still dignified, it is said that he was very handsome when he was young." ”
Good girl, have vision! The baron's spine was straightened, and his eyes were a little bright, as if he were several years younger.
This rainbow sycophant was so bright and fragrant that the Baroness couldn't help but be impressed. Follow the meaning and come along: "Indeed, as long as it is a party, he is always the most conspicuous." When someone came to talk to the matchmaker, I immediately agreed, and I couldn't sleep at night. ”
"Ahem~" The baron was in a happy mood and pretended: "That, the rent of a family in the town should be collected, and it has been delayed for more than a month." It just so happens that old John is going, so you should go with him, and don't forget to wear a necklace. ”
"Oh." Hienin quietly continued to eat breakfast.
The eldest daughter of Baroness Williams and her seven older siblings, only four survived in an era of high child mortality. The two sisters were all married, and they married farther away, and went to the city. One of the two elder brothers is still studying in a school in the city, and the other is starting a business outside, and he only came back to inherit the family business after his father died.
As the youngest and middle-aged daughter, the baroness are naturally more pampered.
Vivien was overjoyed to learn that she was going to town. There is only one town and one manor within a hundred miles here, and the famous hunter must go to the town.
Take out the necklace from the dresser, the pendant is a rose. Every descendant of the family has such a necklace, and as soon as they reach the age of ten, they will find a jeweler to make one. And the original is in the hands of Baron Williams, and when he dies, it will be given to the heirs. When a girl gets married, this is a dowry, and there is only one such thing. It's the equivalent of a family logo.
John Sr. was the old man in the family, and he had been working in the village for generations, and he took his newly grown son, Little John, to drive in front of the carriage.
Xining took the maid into the carriage, and little John couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and dared to covet the young lady, and was slapped on the head by old John.
"I'm looking at Vivien." Little John touched the back of his beaten head and muttered softly.
"It's good to know!" Old John glared and warned: "Stand far away in the future, be careful, be careful that the master gouges out your eyeballs." ”
Twenty kilometers of road, four horses trotted slowly, and it took more than an hour to arrive.
The town is not very large, with a circular parterr in the middle with a marble statue of the Virgin in the center. The whole town has an open layout around this statue, and there are about 50 households.
The circle around the center is the best location, which is the golden business circle, and this circle is either a church or a shop. The houses are all dark and a bit historical. From here, you can see the distant mountains all around, and the mountains are covered with snow. It is this circle of high mountains that makes this place isolated, and if you want to get out, even if you have horses, it will take you two or three days.
On the high hill to the west, you can see a castle in the distance. The minaret is towering, imposing, and also completely black, which feels a bit eerie. That's Dracula's Castle, which is more than 400 years old.
The carriage stopped in front of a two-story tavern, and old John went in with his son to collect the rent, while Vivien followed her to the nearby sewing shop.
The needlework shop sells not only needlework but also tailor shops, and the residents here have a low standard of living, so they will not get dressed if they don't have to.
In the tailor's shop, on the left shelf hung a freshly made suit, and on the right rested a mannequin made of wood and cotton, with a half-made wedding dress on top. The old tailor was wearing reading glasses with spectacle lenses, pinching a pin with his dry hand, fiddling with the model.
And on the welt cabinet, there are neatly folded funeral dresses.
The tailor's daughter-in-law came up to greet her, and when she saw the pendant hanging from her chest, she immediately said: "It turns out to be the little lady of Baron Williams's family, and there are new fabrics that have just arrived, which are the most fashionable and popular in the palace." Do you want to take a look? ”
The owner has been to the town about a few times in his life, and the most recent time was three years ago. This is the identity, which proves that the pendant is also known to everyone here.
Taking out the fabric and looking at it, Xining couldn't help but smile: "This is still the most popular and up-to-date?" Yes, it was a year and a half ago. ”
The tailor's daughter-in-law was also sharp-tongued, and when she couldn't be coaxed, she immediately came out with a kind excuse: "In the end, it is the young lady of the baron's family, and the knowledge is not ordinary." I heard that the eldest son and the second son are both college students and are in the city. The eldest lady and the second lady are also married to nobles in the city, so naturally they have seen a lot of good things. It's a poor and remote place here, these materials are already Shangcheng, if the little lady doesn't dislike it, how about I sell it to you at a discount? ”
I listened comfortably, plus the pocket money given by the baron's parents was enough, and I didn't have a chance to use it in normal times, thinking that the owner would soon be brought to the city to participate in the ball party, and I was going to choose a husband, and I could do it again when I entered the city, but I always had to prepare a set.
Counting the time, looking at the environment and the memory of those in power, it should be in Europe in the late sixteenth century.
The costumes of this period were not as pompous as they had begun in the 17th century, and the corsetics that could be tucked into 40 centimeters were just beginning to take shape, and the princes wore huge and somewhat funny clown collars. Fortunately, in this era, she didn't have to wear tights that could strangle people, and as a low-level aristocrat like a baron, she didn't need to wear a kraft collar and Elizabeth collar that towered to her chin and covered her entire neck.
Today's skirts are mostly white and linen, with embroidery. So the baroness chose a piece of dark red with black dahlia fabric that was modest but still looked quite luxurious, and helped herself choose a piece of apple-green fabric for a long coat, and put a long row of short lace on the placket, so that it could be worn with any skirt, and it could be worn for a party.
The price is still quite cheap, after all, there are not many people who are willing to spend money to make clothes.
After Hienin paid, her dress was agreed to be picked up in three days, and the Baroness's could be slower. In this way, even if she dies, she can at least die in new clothes, and she can be buried more beautifully after death.
Mo Ming: "Death must stink and be beautiful." ”
That's right, it's to stink. How beautiful the world is, she must be beautiful everywhere.
Vivien carefully wrapped the needle and thread she had bought, put it in her purse, and followed her out of the tailor's shop.
As soon as they came out of the store, they saw Versace from afar, and Versace also saw them, so he pulled the brim of his hat and walked over.
