Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Shopping (8)_1

The group continued walking until they reached the furniture market, where they finally stopped to look around.

Once inside the furniture city, Ruan Jianguo, fearing she might get lost in the crowd, bent down to pick Jiaojiao up. Ruanlin Family also told Xiu Xi to stick closely to them, as times were somewhat chaotic and there were many tricksters around. Their two children were both good-looking, and they feared ill-intentioned people might take an interest in them.

The furniture city they visited was the only one in the city and also the largest, with two floors – the lower floor was for hard furnishings, and the upper floor was for soft furnishings.

They started with the hard furnishings first. Ruanlin Family didn’t understand these things, so it was Ruan Jianguo alone who did the looking.

After a while, Jiaojiao lost interest, so Ruanlin Family took the two children upstairs to look at the soft furnishings.

In the past, most soft furnishings were custom-made, and they looked very good after being painted. But now it was said that city dwellers no longer commissioned custom pieces but rather bought ready-made ones because these soft furnishings were very diversified. They were no longer the few conventional options available in the past. Many had adopted foreign styles and were incredibly attractive.

Ruanlin Family wanted the best for Jiaojiao, so for her room’s dressing table, bed, desk—she wanted to buy the best available, not custom-made and then painted.

Hard furnishings were very important and Ruan Jianguo wanted to look carefully. He instructed Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi to follow Ruanlin Family closely and not to run around, then let them go upstairs.

As soon as they got upstairs, Jiaojiao was dazzled by all the beautiful furniture on display.

It was truly beautiful!

Even Ruanlin Family, who had seen the world as the daughter of a landlord, was momentarily blinded by the sight.

"Goodness, how can it be so beautiful? How do people come up with these ideas?" Ruanlin Family exclaimed, her eyes fixed on a dressing table at first glance.

The dressing table was a light purple color, one that didn’t seem to be painted on but rather intrinsic to the wood. It felt smooth to the touch. An oval mirror with carved flowers stood atop the table, which had two drawers in the middle that could be pulled out. Underneath, one half was empty and next to the right leg, there was a small cabinet with several compartments inside that could hold quite a few things.

Next to it was a matching stool in the same color, which seemed to be part of the set. The stool was covered in leather, and Ruanlin Family pressed it with her hand, feeling its good elasticity, which would likely make it comfortable to sit on.

Ruanlin Family’s clothes were not outstanding. Seeing that, the sales staff hesitated to approach, shuffling among themselves. As they were pushing and shoving each other, a relatively thin salesperson came over with a smile to greet them.

"Auntie, what can I help you with?"

She approached with a smile and glanced at the clothes of Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi. Although she thought Ruanlin Family was dressed plainly, she assumed that someone who would dress their children so well couldn’t be poor. Besides, she knew that truly impoverished families would not come to their store—just the entrance would deter them.

"Big sister, how much is this dressing table? Do you have any other styles?" Ruanlin Family touched the stool again, nodding with satisfaction. She was determined to buy such a dressing table for her little Jiaojiao—it was so beautiful!

"Yes, we have. Please come this way. These are our most recent arrivals. There are two colors available. This purple color gives a sense of nobility, and then there’s this color that people call cream, which feels classy. What do you think?" The salesperson smiled and led her to the side.

Ruanlin Family looked at the cream colored dressing table and thought that, perhaps due to her first impression, the light purple one looked better.

But since it was for Jiaojiao, she turned and asked her, "Jiaojiao, which color do you think is better?"
