Meet the principal
Act 88. Afternoon Tea Party
Half an hour later, Claire, wearing a long dress, socks and leather shoes, was waiting in the hotel lobby with some anxiety. Her hair had been let down, and only two strands of hair around her ears were tied behind her head. Tie up with a light white ribbon, she looks like one of those dignified and virtuous rich ladies.
Reiner was still wearing a shirt. When he saw Claire's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction and then said.
"let's go."
"Where to go?"
Claire hurriedly followed Reiner's footsteps and saw him calling down a carriage. Only when she sat next to Reiner did she ask.
"You'll know when we get there."
Smiling mysteriously, Reiner didn't explain much.
The carriage was not spacious, so Claire and Reiner had physical contact from time to time. Reiner naturally felt nothing, but Claire felt a thump in her chest and could not calm down.
Toronto is worthy of being the capital of the province of Ammonai. The streets are busy with traffic, and it took the carriage more than half an hour to reach its destination.
As soon as she got off the car, Claire felt the noisy crowd.
This place is completely different from a rural place like Crescent College. The men and women on the street are all wearing trendy clothes and walking in a hurry. Shops and buildings are lined up row upon row. You can see many signboards hanging between the buildings. There is no doubt that this is a trustworthy place. One of the busiest neighborhoods in Toronto.
Van Helm Avenue is a commercial street containing 500 shops of various sizes. More than 70% of the products in Toronto will flow through here. Whether it is ordinary daily necessities or magic props, as long as it is a product that can be circulated in the market , there are traces to be found here.
Claire hasn't come to her senses yet, she doesn't know why Reiner brought her here.
"Are we going to purchase something?"
she asked, but Reiner shook his head.
"No, let's just come here for a stroll, can't we?"
"ah?"
Claire was completely confused about Reiner's intentions, but this doubt was put behind her after Reiner took Claire into a shop full of small skirts, and she could never pick them up again.
Reiner had done some research beforehand. This women's clothing store called Afternoon Tea Party is a famous clothing store in Toronto. It has a history of three hundred years. The high-quality clothes are all handmade. Although a simple skirt costs a lot of money. They cost dozens of silver coins, and the high-end models were even more expensive, but they still couldn't stop the wealthy nobles from buying them.
"Just take a look and tell me if you like it."
Reiner said that he is not short of money at all now, so it is no problem to buy some new clothes for Claire, who usually takes care of school affairs.
After all, Reiner felt that girls of the right age should not wear those old-fashioned robes to cover themselves.
Girls should wear pretty little dresses!
Now that he has changed the school uniforms for Crescent College, he naturally has to start helping Claire improve her living environment.
"Really, really?"
Claire's eyes widened in disbelief. Reiner's sudden generosity made her a little unprepared, fearing that this was some kind of trap or conspiracy.
"You won't be in a position to do something embarrassing at night after buying a skirt, right?"
"...We'd better go."
"Wait, wait, I just said it casually."
Claire grabbed Reiner. As a woman, her nature made her unable to resist these beautiful clothes. Since Reiner let her choose at will, Claire would just risk it. If she encountered any trap in the future, she would have no choice but to accept her fate.
It is better to regret buying than regret not buying!
Immediately, Claire started shopping in this two-story clothing store.
Claire, who is used to being poor, is now a little dazzled by the dazzling array of beautiful clothes. At this time, a young woman wearing a black and white ruffled dress came over and said,
asked very politely.
"Do you need any help?"
Only then did Reiner notice that the woman had a nameplate on her chest. She should be a clerk in this store.
As expected of a professional clothing store, even the clothes of the store employees are consistent with the overall style.
"I would like to help this lady choose some skirts, um, three for daily use and two for formal occasions."
Reiner thought for a while and said, ordinary nobles have many well-made formal dresses, and even in wealthy families, a formal dress will never be worn a second time on formal occasions.
But that was too extravagant. Reiner felt that there was no need to be so flashy, but a proper skirt was still necessary.
"Okay, so what are the production requirements? Long skirts like these are cheap, but the sizes are standard. The hand-made ones will be more expensive, but the size and style can be customized according to requirements."
The clerk explained patiently, which made Claire panic and subconsciously looked at Reiner.
"The dresses are hand-cut, and for everyday clothes just buy the standard ones."
Reiner replied that ordinary clothes are fine as long as they fit relatively well, but clothes for formal occasions cannot be ambiguous.
"I understand, so what are the requirements for the style..."
Next, the clerk asked Claire while he took her to choose clothes, while Reiner waited aside, giving some advice from time to time.
In the end, Claire chose three relatively simple and simple dresses. After confirming the style of the dresses with the clerk, she followed another clerk holding a measuring tape into the measuring room to measure the size.
Reiner sat on the sofa on the first floor, waiting for Claire to come out.
Although women's clothes in this era are still inseparable from the complicated and gorgeous palace style, some simple designs have also appeared. This afternoon tea party clothing store should be one of the stores at the forefront of the trend. The skirts here are no longer that kind of clothing. The bloated design is dominated by numerous patterns, and is closer to the clothing of the Victorian era on earth. It is mainly composed of lace, ruffles, ribbons, bows and other elements. It is a bit less elegant and more girlish. cute.
In fact, most of the customers in the store are young girls. The clerks wearing black and white long skirts are introducing their respective styles of skirts to these girls in detail, and Reiner also overhears a lot of knowledge.
"Danna will probably like it here, right?"
Reiner thought that he could bring the student with design talent here to see him next time he had the opportunity, and maybe he could make friends with the boss here.
While thinking about it, Claire walked out of the measuring room. After determining the style and size, the rest was just waiting for the tailor to make it.
"Your lover has a really good figure, which makes me a little envious."
The previous clerk got the measurement list from his colleague, glanced at it and said with a smile. Reiner was noncommittal, but Claire turned her face away and defended silently.
Reiner followed the clerk to the checkout counter and looked at the price, but it didn't surprise him.
"Since our store does not have delivery service, please kindly come back to pick it up after a week."
The clerk said, then handed the receipt to Reiner for his signature.
So Reiner generously wrote "Reiner Ingle, Crescent Academy" and returned the receipt to the clerk.
But after the clerk got the receipt, his eyes widened suddenly. After confirming it repeatedly, he asked tremblingly.
"Are you the winner of the Hohenheim Gold Cup, Rainer Inglet?"
