Chapter 1740: On the Ball 1
Having arrived in this era for over ten years, the initial years were either spent in my hometown or living with the military on the frontier. By the time Lu Jiang’s rank increased, Feng Qingxue also had her own job. During this period, she also had to take care of the child and was so busy every day that she felt like she was being pulled in all directions. Moreover, due to the special circumstances, all government units and military bases had long since canceled dances, so she had never attended one.
Suddenly having such an opportunity to appear with Lu Jiang and even dance together, Feng Qingxue naturally didn’t want to miss it. To be honest, she was very curious about dances.
Upon learning that the dress code was casual, Feng Qingxue began to prepare for the dance.
There was no possibility of changing her hairstyle or wearing makeup, so she focused on her attire.
It needed to look good, while the style couldn’t exceed this era’s norms.
Feng Qingxue thought it over carefully and made herself a pearl-white cotton and linen shirt, along with a pair of grey-green work pants, also made of cotton and linen. The straight-leg pants were quite baggy, resembling wide-leg pants from a later era.
The work pants were actually overalls, a fairly fashionable style at the time, mostly made using labor cloth.
After washing and ironing the two pieces, Feng Qingxue tried them on the night before the dance. Not only did they not obscure her graceful and slender figure, but instead, they highlighted her outstanding temperament, exuding an elegant and dignified beauty.
Lu Jiang’s eyes were filled with affection as he nodded continuously and said, "It looks stunning!"
He surveyed her for a moment, feeling something was missing. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, got up, rummaged through his luggage, and pulled out a very ordinary small wooden box. From it, he took out a pair of jade bracelets.
