Chapter 1724: Chapter 1721: One of a Kind

“Young Miss, you look stunning in that dress,” exclaimed the maidservant beside her.

Li Chun’er lifted her skirt and twirled around twice, cautiously, fearing she might ruin such a beautiful dress.

“Please, young miss, there’s a glazed mirror over here,” Shopkeeper Song reminded her.

Li Chun’er was led to a full-length mirror, and as she looked at herself in the glazed mirror, she opened her mouth in surprise. After a moment, she laughed with her hands on her hips, “Hahaha, heaven hasn’t abandoned me, just look at that wretched Zhang Ling’er seethe with envy.”

Shopkeeper Song laughed mysteriously, feeling quite pleased with Li Chun’er’s remark. After all, it’s only through comparison that one can highlight one’s advantages, isn’t it?

Thinking of the silver he was about to earn, his mood improved considerably. He conveniently suggested, “Young Miss, our store has other clothes too. Would you like to take a look?”

“Are there any better than this?” Li Chun’er immediately inquired.

Unperturbed, Shopkeeper Song shook his head with a smile, “No, we have some that are slightly inferior. This skirt took two months to complete, creating a second one would be impossible for our shop.”

Li Chun’er asked cautiously, “No one has ordered something better than mine, right? You must be honest. If there is, I’ll buy them all. If there indeed is, and you don’t speak up, and later sell it to someone else, don’t blame me if I bring people to smash your shop!”

“Young Miss, I never lie, especially when a customer asks explicitly. Our store isn’t very well known, and no noble young miss or lady has made any pre-orders,” Shopkeeper Song calmly assured her, then added, “Of course, if the young miss could help promote our shop today, it might become popular, and many orders might roll in, for which we’d be truly grateful.”

“What was your shop’s name again?” Li Chun’er pondered for a while but couldn’t remember. Truthfully, she was too absorbed in her anger earlier and didn’t pay attention to such details.

“Yonghe Ready-made Clothing Shop,” the little maidservant quickly reminded her, afraid of offending the shopkeeper and that he would refuse to sell to the young miss, which would be maddening.

Shopkeeper Song’s mouth involuntarily twitched, though it wasn’t noticeable, he didn’t take any offense either.

“Oh…” Li Chun’er asked again, “Which family runs this shop?”

The little maidservant, seeing Shopkeeper Song still smiling, felt a bit apprehensive, worried he might be suppressing anger while pretending nothing was wrong.

It was understandable, considering that Bailan Pavilion never slighted Li Chun’er in the past, but today was unlike any other day, offering no face at all. No wonder the young miss was so angry.

If that shopkeeper hadn’t been so vague, not only did he claim there was nothing better in front of her face, even when asked by the young miss, he didn’t admit it. Just this alone, Bailan Pavilion was too excessive.

“Young Miss, it’s the Chu family, the shop run by Miss Chu Ziluo, who saved you before,” the maidservant whispered in her ear, casting a glance at Shopkeeper Song beside her for fear he might turn furious on the spot upon hearing it.

Li Chun’er’s previously indifferent demeanor changed instantly.

Her eyes lit up, “Really? A shop run by Ziluo’s family?”

“Yes.”

“Hahaha, this is wonderful. Only the Chu family could amaze me like this.”

Shopkeeper Song nodded with a sense of pride, wasn’t it the truth?

Li Chun’er looked at him and asked again, “Where’s Ziluo’s skirt?”

“The skirts Miss Chu picked are all quite plain,” Shopkeeper Song replied with a faint smile.
