Chapter 1030 Buying clothes for Shen He and his brother-in-law
At noon, the Fontaine-Lionet district was immersed in warm sunshine.
What a pleasant day...
In the past two days, Shao Yun took Ying, Paimeng, Shen He, who was holding his three-month-old daughter, and his brother-in-law "Kong" to visit several furniture stores in Fontainebleau to buy suitable furniture.
As a result, after shopping in the furniture store for two days, Ying, Paimeng, Shenhe and Kong were all dazzled.
Shao Yun and Paimeng first came out of a shop with a sign that read "Fontainebleau Wood Art".
Paimon drooped his shoulders dejectedly, raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, and even his voice was a little breathy.
"I can't take it anymore... I feel like I've seen more furniture in the past two days than I have in my entire life!"
"A round table, a chest of drawers, and a retractable bed... I'm so confused and dizzy from choosing so many!"
As she spoke, she hadn't yet steady herself and bumped lightly into Shao Yun's arm. She was swayed by the force and managed to keep her direction.
Shen He followed behind, holding Xi, who was more than three months old, in his arms.
The soft little hands were holding the light blue hair that hung on Shen He's shoulders. She was humming "ya" with her mouth, and her round eyes were staring at her curiously.
Shen He raised his hand and gently pulled the ends of Xi's hair, which she was holding too tightly, out of her little hand.
Kong walked beside Shen He and no longer had the interest to choose furniture as he did in the beginning. He simply used his fingers to make a jumping fox gesture in front of Xi, which made the little guy wave his fists around.
(Yuan Shang taught Kong step by step through the Abyss Network.)
Just then, Ying came out of the store with a furniture flyer.
She walked over to Shao Yun and handed him the flyer, frowning slightly, with a hint of concern in her tone:
"I just saw three nice sets of furniture. The wardrobe that can hold a lot of clothes and the desk with bookshelves are both very suitable for us to use in Nata in the future."
"But I'm a little worried... Will the environment in Nata make these furniture uncomfortable?"
She pointed to the label "Fontaine White Ash" on the flyer and explained, "You see, most of Fontaine's furniture is made of local wood."
"You also said that Nata is dry and hot. What if it cracks and warps before long? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
Seeing that Ying didn't want to continue shopping in the furniture store, Shao Yun shrugged helplessly and asked softly, "So, do you still plan to go shopping in the furniture store this afternoon?"
Ying did not answer Shao Yun's question directly. Instead, like a cute cat, she hugged Shao Yun's arm tightly and said tenderly:
"Let's just take a look around this afternoon. As for the furniture, it won't be too late to consider it after the house is built."
"If that doesn't work, can't we just buy furniture from Nata?"
When Shao Yun heard Ying mention the local furniture in Nata, some not-so-pleasant memories suddenly emerged in his mind.
He thought back to the time when he had lived in the Burnout Room in the Holy Flame Arena.
All the furniture there is made of stone, stone beds, stone tables, stone chairs...
While these pieces of furniture appear sturdy and durable, isn't this thing heavy?
"Nata local furniture..." Shao Yun muttered to himself.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Should I buy furniture from the Hanging Wood People tribe? That seems like a good idea...
Yes, the furniture of the Hanging Wood People tribe might be a good choice, after all, they are all wooden buildings!
……
In short, the furniture shopping has come to a temporary end. The midday sun gradually rises higher, and the golden light makes people feel warm. Even the air is filled with an atmosphere that makes people want to find a place to rest.
In that case, let’s go eat first.
"Don't worry about the furniture for now. Now, let's find a place to eat."
"Okay, okay!" Paimon immediately became excited when he heard about food.
"So where are we going? The Gray River Tavern where Aikefei works?"
When she heard the name of Huihe's tavern, Ying frowned and turned to look at Xi in Shenhe's arms.
My daughter is only three months old, so it’s better for her to be quiet.
"The Grey River Tavern is crowded and noisy, and I'm afraid it will disturb my daughter," she suggested.
"The Debo Hotel in Nabonne District has a quieter environment and softer seats, so Shenhe can eat more comfortably while holding the baby."
Shen He hugged Xi and nodded gently, agreeing: "Yes, I think a quiet place is better."
The group walked along the cobblestone road while discussing.
After walking for a while, Paimeng suddenly shouted "Ah" and pointed diagonally ahead.
"Look! Isn't that Chiori?"
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and saw Qianzhi's house not far away.
Qianzhi was standing at the door of the store, her eyes somewhat blank, giving people the impression that she was thinking about something troubling her, and she didn't even notice someone approaching.
"Chizhi!" Paimon sped up and floated in front of her, with a sweet smile on his face and waved his little hand.
"Long time no see! What are you standing here in a daze for?"
Qianzhi finally came back to her senses and saw the group of people in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, then she smiled a slightly forced smile.
"Hmm? Paimeng, Ying, Shao Yun... Long time no see."
Paimon went to the glass of Chiori's shop and looked into the store curiously.
The store was empty, without even a customer in sight.
She retracted her gaze and asked, "Qianzhi, is the clothing store business bad recently? Why is there no one here?"
When business was mentioned, the smile on Qianzhi's face faded a little. She sighed softly, rubbed her temples, and her tone was full of helplessness that was "hard to put into words".
"How should I put it? After all, clothes are not like food that you have to eat every day."
"My customers at Qianzhiwu buy a dress and wear it for a long time. How can the demand be that high? I've only sold two dresses in the past two weeks, and those are regular customers who keep the business going."
The sun was still shining warmly, but the atmosphere at the door of Qianzhi's house was inexplicably heavy.
Paimon blinked and wanted to say something else to comfort her.
Shao Yun gently patted Paimeng's shoulder, looked at Qianzhi, and said in a gentle tone, "Business has its peak and off-seasons, don't worry. Maybe business will pick up after a while."
Qianzhi pulled the corner of her mouth and forced a smile: "Let me borrow your good wishes..."
Afterwards, Qianzhi's eyes swept over Shenhe and Kong. Seeing that they were unfamiliar, she smiled and asked, "By the way, who are these two? I don't think I've seen them together before."
Shao Yun quickly turned sideways to introduce them, pointing his finger first at Shen He who was holding Xi.
"The girl holding my child is Shen He. She is my child's godmother and helps us take care of the child. We are a family!"
Shen He heard that she was holding Xi openly and responded, "Hello, Miss Qianzhi."
Shao Yun turned to Kong beside him. Of course, he couldn't say that his brother-in-law was the prince of the Abyss Cult, so he lied casually:
"This is my uncle Kong, Ying's older brother. He happened to be on vacation recently, so he came with us to stroll around Fontaine and lend a hand."
Sora smiled and nodded in greeting.
"Hello, Miss Qianzhi. I've heard that Qianzhi's clothes are very famous in Fontaine. I even saw the skirts in the window when I passed by before. The styles are very exquisite."
Did Sora really come to Chiori House? Of course not, it was all Funagami who said it.
(Yuan Shang: If this family is gone, I have to leave!)
As Qianzhi listened to the two people's praise, the sadness on her face faded a little.
"You're very kind. I'm just doing some needlework, which I'm good at."
She didn't ask too much about the two people's backgrounds. After all, they just met and chatted casually. There was no need to dig into their details like checking their household registration. It was enough to just know.
……
The group had a brief chat with Qianzhi.
Shao Yun's eyes inadvertently fell on Ying's white skirt.
"Hmm..." Shao Yun thought to himself, "Since I'm here, why not buy Ying a few more sets of clothes?"
The idea flashed through his mind and then quickly took root.
Then, Shao Yun suddenly said, "Well, I'm thinking of something."
Ying scratched her head in confusion when she heard her husband's voice, then looked up at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shao Yun took a deep breath and continued, "Do you want me to buy you a few more sets of clothes or something?"
Ying looked down at the white dress she was wearing and exclaimed "Ah" in confusion.
Seeing this, Shao Yun explained, "Look, you haven't worn the clothes I bought for you much until now."
"Besides, you can't just wear the same outfit every day. It's so monotonous."
Speaking of this, Shao Yun couldn't help but think of what happened three years ago.
At that time, they had just arrived in Liyue, and he happily customized a set of cowgirl clothes for Ying (Ningguang paid for it). He thought she would like it, but he didn't expect that she rarely wore it.
Ying felt helpless when she heard what Shao Yun said.
It wasn't that she didn't like the dress, she just felt that she didn't have many opportunities to wear it.
After all, teleporting to an anchor point is much faster than riding a horse...
However, seeing that Shao Yun cared about her so much, she couldn't refuse directly.
So, Ying rolled her eyes and cleverly turned the topic to Shen He and Kong.
"Actually, I think I have enough clothes now. Shen He and my brother, on the other hand, don't seem to have bought new clothes very often. How about we pick out a few pieces for them too?"
As soon as Shao Yun heard Ying suggest buying clothes for Shen He and Kong, his attention immediately shifted from Ying to the two of them.
"Good idea! Shen He, brother-in-law, what do you two think? Qian Zhi has good craftsmanship, and the clothes she makes will definitely fit well."
"It's just right. We're going to Nata to open a ranch, so getting some new clothes also symbolizes a new beginning!"
When Kong heard that he was going to buy clothes for himself, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Ah? Buy me some clothes?"
As soon as these words came out, Kong's mind flashed back to his previous "dark history".
At that time, Yuanshang brought a large group of members of the Abyss Cult with him, and for some reason, they asked me to wear women's clothes!
He subconsciously shrank back, his tone was a little resistant,
"No need? I don't think it's necessary..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shao Yun wouldn't let him refuse, he strode forward and patted Kong's shoulder with a force that was neither too strong nor too weak.
"We're a family, so what's wrong with buying you some clothes? It's settled! Let Qianzhi take your measurements, and the family should be complete."
"You can not wear it, but you can not live without it!"
Kong was shaken by the slap and could only sigh helplessly.
Okay, as the elder brother-in-law, I should accept the kindness of my brother-in-law.
