027 Xu's flowers
After returning from studying at Pan's house in the afternoon, Lin Meiyi began to prepare for a new batch of hairpins.
She is still ready to make semi-finished products, because there is no condition at home to prepare copper hairpins for her, and hairpins without a base are always semi-finished products, but as long as the embroidery room can be fully collected, she can also save a lot of time for sales.
Thinking like this, taking advantage of the time before dinner, Lin Meiyi stayed alone in the embroidery room and began to cut colored cloth.
This time, she has to make a large amount of hairpins, so after all the cuts are completed, the color matching and modeling will be carried out.
There are so many basic shapes of Japanese hairpins, so the main highlight is the color scheme and some ingenious design inspiration.
For example, you can add a butterfly with hollow embroidery to the flower, which can not only add interest, but also look different.
And Lin Meiyi was pleasantly surprised to find that there has not been a hollow embroidery in her current era, maybe there is, but it may only be presented in a small circle, and she has not seen it in the clothes of the general public.
In this way, the openwork embroidery has become her unique killer feature.
Thinking of the craze that will be caused when this batch of hairpins comes out, the corners of Lin Meiyi's mouth subconsciously curled, and she is looking forward to the arrival of that day.
However, when it was time for dinner, a guest's arrival shattered her newly rising dream.
"Good sister, have you eaten?"
Xu walked in with a smile, and the clothes on his body changed to a cyan one, although it was linen, but he knew the newly made clothes at a glance.
But her new dress was not what Lin Meiyi paid attention to, from the moment Xu entered the door, she saw the blue and white Japanese-style hairpin flower pinned to her head.
Blue flowers, yellow stamens, white and blue tassels hanging down in the hair, this is a unique style that Liu has never seen.
"Sister Xu, you hairpin ......" Liu got up and greeted her, standing on the side of Xu and looking at the hairpin on her head, her eyes were full of amazement.
Xu came here to show off the newly bought hairpin, and when he saw Liu come forward to take a look, he deliberately looked at her carefully, and then said happily:
"The county recently came out with a new one of these fine hairpins, I looked at the chic, itchy in my heart, I couldn't hold back my hand, bought one back, how about it, is it different from the previous silk flowers, especially good-looking?"
Liu nodded violently, who doesn't love new styles among women? And it's still such a good-looking style?
"Sister Xu, this hairpin is not cheap, is it?" Liu asked tentatively, she was a little moved.
At this moment, Liu only knew that her eldest daughter was going to make hairpins, but she had never seen the style of hairpins, so she didn't associate the hairpins on Xu's head with what her daughter was going to do.
Xu nodded, "It's really not cheap, the big silk flowers in the past, the most expensive is only three or five hundred yuan, but guess how about this new hairpin?" I heard that when the first pair first came out a few days ago, it actually sold for five taels. ”
"Five taels! It's something made of rags, and I heard that the materials are only satin, and it's still a copper hairpin, which can be sold for five taels, which is really expensive! Xu complained.
At the same time, she secretly looked at Liu's expression, and saw that she showed a shocked look, obviously misunderstood something, so she quickly explained:
"But there are also cheap ones, and I only need five hundred wen for this."
"Five hundred wen?!" Liu was so frightened by this price that he took a step back, and secretly said that he couldn't afford it.
Don't say 500 wen, even if it's 100 wen, she can't afford it.
Xu wanted this effect, took Liu's hand and walked into the house, saw the Lin family eating in the house, and didn't feel that he had disturbed others, so he said to Lin Meiyi:
"Yiyi, this batch of hairpins was snatched up as soon as they came out, and it took a lot of effort to grab two of them, and I couldn't bear to wear this one, and there was a small one left, you can wear it and play with it."
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve and handed her to Lin Meiyi.
Lin Meiyi hurriedly stood up, there was not much joy on her face, and under the envious gaze of Erya, she opened the cloth bag, and inside was a small single hairpin, pink, although it looked very cute, but it was far inferior to the tassel hairpin flower on Xu's head.
But even so, it was enough for Erya to envy for a long time, she looked at Lin Meiyi, hoping that her sister would accept it, so that she would have the opportunity to wear it.
Liu watched from the sidelines, and for some reason, he always felt that this little hairpin flower was good-looking, but it looked shabby.
As if her daughter was only worthy of this.
Liu was a little uncomfortable, but people were well-intentioned, and she didn't want to speculate maliciously, maybe this thing was too expensive, and this little flower also cost dozens of dollars.
Liu still thinks of her good sister too well, Lin Meiyi glanced at the blue and white hairpin on Xu's head, and guessed that the one in her hand was matched with the blue and white hairpin, it was a set.
Blue and white contrast pink, the color match looks more youthful.
It's just that ordinary women like Liu have never seen such a contrasting color matching, so they think that these are two separate hairpins.
Lin Meiyi frowned slightly, Xu saw it, and asked suspiciously, "What?" Don't like it? This is my aunt I queued for a long time to grab it, don't you know that those people are like crazy when they see this hairpin, and they almost have to fight for a hairpin......"
"Auntie, this gift is too precious, I can't accept it." Xu's hard confession was interrupted by Lin Meiyi, and she paused for a moment, only then did she realize that people didn't want their gifts.
"What's wrong? Still polite to your aunt? Xu raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lin Meiyi was going to pretend to be reserved.
Lin Meiyi immediately looked at Liu, her daughter knew it, seeing her frowning, there was no surprise in her eyes, although Liu felt strange, but she also understood the idea that her daughter didn't like it, and stepped forward to help.
"Sister, take it back, it's so precious, she can't stand it as a little girl, you quickly put it away and wear it yourself, this pink color is also very suitable for you."
Xu was embarrassed, glanced at Lin Meiyi, the little girl had an embarrassed and polite smile on her face, and she didn't look at the pink hairpin at all, did she not like it?
Wouldn't it?
With such a novel and delicate hair ornament, can a little girl who has never seen the world be picky?
"This ......" Xu couldn't believe that Lin Meiyi didn't like it, and when he wanted to persuade him again, Zhang, who had been silent, suddenly got up, coughed lightly twice, and ordered:
"The two girls cleaned up the table."
As soon as Erya heard it, she knew that grandma was helping the eldest sister to excuse herself, although she didn't understand why the eldest sister just didn't want Xu's hairpins, but she naturally stood aside with her family, and hurriedly responded, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with Lin Meiyi.
