Chapter 19 Exceptions

In the center of Dilud City is a river running north-south.

The source of the river is the Gray Crystal River in the northwest. Although there are other names in history, most people are still used to calling it Gray Crystal.

To the west of the Gray Crystal River is the original business district, including Hunter Street.

No, it should be said to be a half-developed business district.

For some reason, the half-developed business district was moved to the east of the Gray Crystal River, and a new business district was established.

However, this was almost fifteen years ago.

The last property of the Fast family, the clothing store run by Elsa, is located in the middle of the new business district.

Riding in the fully enclosed carriage driven by the old Fanks, which was one of the last respectable pieces of the Fast family, Yago and Elsa sat together in this rather ornate decoration, engraved with silver dots and diffused light traces. The carriage in the style of the family crest, watching the scenery along the way slowly recedes.

As the facade of Diroud City, this new business district is much cleaner than the dirty and muddy areas that appear from time to time in other areas, and, on both sides of the road, there are also colorful creeping flowers mainly roses.

Most of them climb on the black and white wooden fence or hollowed out black iron fence in front of the small yard at the entrance of the building.

Along the concrete road, the carriage slowly moved forward on the street, everything was normal and leisurely, but...

The fog is gradually thickening.

"Ah, is it foggy again?"

Elsa, who was sitting upright in a very ladylike manner, raised her silky silver-gray women's top hat slightly, her Zhan Yin eyes looked at the gradually blurred scenery in the distance:

"It's almost time for the lamplighter to come out."

Following her gaze, Yago also glanced to the side of the road, almost blending with the wooden fence and the iron railing. A gas street lamp that looks like one of the bases of the fence railings.

The copper-black, inverted trapezoidal column frame is incompletely sealed with glass, and the classical wind lamp body looks inconspicuous because it does not light up.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the shop.

The style of the store is similar to other stores, the overall style is tall and thin, with a Gothic feel.

"As usual, Hollande, pick me up at 4pm."

After Yago took Elsa's hand out of the carriage, she gave orders to old Fanks.

"Yes, miss."

Old Fanks bowed respectfully, then got into the carriage, and drove the carriage away slowly under the watchful eyes of the two.

Fast clothing store, a rather unpretentious name, if the signboard didn't have the bright silver decoration. After inserting the key, turning the lock, and grabbing the doorknob, Elsa took Yago into the store.

Walking to the window, Elsa opened the curtains one by one. As the light poured in, Yago also saw the layout of the clothing store clearly.

The wall on the left, the outermost one, is monotonous in color, and various formal clothes and accessories that gentlemen need, white shirt, dark vest, dark trousers and coat, and the middle position is tie, bow tie, hat and walking stick Things like that, the innermost ones are all kinds of leather shoes and boots.

The wall on the right is what the ladies need, with various colors, ornate decorations, and even some rather cumbersome decorations.

The innermost part is the shoes, then the middle part is the small bag, ribbon or already tied bow, as for the outer part

Yago glanced at the various lace, ruffles, skirts with pleats specially emphasizing curves and hard panniers, and he could only sigh that he didn't understand the world of women.

Finally, in the middle of this unusually large clothing store, in front of the counter

On the top, there is a large unlit chandelier, which is more decorative than practical.

Below is a pattern of three leather sofas surrounded by a master, two vices and a white coffee table.

No matter who looks at it, they will think of the upcoming small tea party held by the upper class.

In fact, this is true. The main customers of this clothing store are the upper class, and the main customers they face are at least the middle class and above, who have the needs of display and performance.

As for the reason

"Are you relying on this method to retain the status of aristocrats who are about to disappear?"

Yago couldn't help shaking his head.

It is similar to the background of the Victorian era in England. The colors preferred by gentlemen with status, power and wealth are dark and white, mainly black. The colors are monotonous, as a reflection of class division. Predominantly red, brightly colored clothing.

Women, on the contrary, have all kinds of gorgeous and bright dresses, while female servants can only wear simple and monotonous clothes in black, white and dark colors.

The status quo of the Fast family can be said to be "death to save face and force the upper class".

It is impossible to open a clothing store and make more money without selling popular goods to the public.

Seemingly seeing Yago's thoughts, Elsa said:

"Compared to money, the Fast family needs to maintain ties with the upper class. We need sources related to extraordinary things."

"Those ladies and wives will come here when they have nothing to do, and gather together through the small tea party I hold."

"They are quite 'cheerful', like to show off, and can reveal some trivial information related to extraordinary, but, apart from that, they really have nothing that can be called an advantage."

With a sneer, she seemed to have thought of something interesting. She brushed the ends of her hair, and there was a charming smile on her face that made Yago stunned:

"Although the Fast family has fallen, the beauty of the Fast family can still have an advantage over the royal family." Simply put, the children of the Fast family are all very handsome, right?

Yago complained in his heart.

But it is true.

It's not that he's narcissistic about how he looks now.

And the silver hair and silver eyes have a different kind of charm in themselves, especially the people of the Celestial Dynasty. I don't know if Yago is the per capita white-haired control, but he is anyway.

Turning around, Yago sat down on the soft sofa and glanced at this silver-and-white shop:

"Speak up, Elsa"

Seeing Elsa picking out a new suit for herself, Yago was about to ask.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw Elsa turned her head suddenly, and turned her gaze to the outside of the shop.

"Yago, don't act strangely. Apart from lamenting that the fog is too thick, don't take any actions that can make people suspect that you are a Extraordinary. Let's continue chatting normally."

The sound of splashing water rang directly in Yago's ear, but Elsa didn't speak. Such a situation made Yago immediately vigilant.
