Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Chapter 159: Albizia Julibrissin Hair Crown

Wang Shiyu, who had been staying in her room after breakfast in the morning, finally went out in the evening after planning all the drawings she had designed one by one.

As soon as I went out, I saw Ruirui. He was on the deck holding a small windmill-shaped toy and running back and forth on the deck. While he was running, the wind blew through the small windmill in his hand, and you could see the small windmill slowly turning. It was a very simple little toy, but Ruirui was having a lot of fun playing with it. The smile on his face never faded, and he didn't even feel tired when he was running. Before, he would complain of being tired after writing a long article, but now he is quite happy.

Even when he saw Wang Shiyu coming, Ruirui did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he kept staring at the windmill in his hand and laughed pleasantly with his childish voice.

Yu Xiuming did not ask what Wang Shiyu was doing in the room today. He brought Wang Shiyu lunch at noon and saw the drawings she was drawing in the room. Naturally, he knew what she was going to do. It was also preparation for the wedding. How could he disturb her? He was relaxed on his side. After all, he had started preparing two years in advance, so there was no need to rush now.

Seeing Wang Shiyu coming out, Yu Xiuming stood up from the recliner, took her hand, let her sit on the recliner next to him, and watched the children playing happily.

"Are you done? I saw the blueprint of the hair crown you drew at noon. Do you need me to hire someone to make it for you? I'm afraid there aren't many craftsmen in Jizhou City who can take on your design."

He had seen the first draft of the hair crown designed by Wang Shiyu, especially its exquisite appearance, which simply amazed Yu Xiuming. Such a hair crown might not even be found in Jinling City.

After all, it is very difficult to make the base under such a hair crown. He then thought of the several masters who had been supporting his own silver shop. These masters had superb skills and were all from Jinling City. Yu Xiuming trusted their craftsmanship. When he saw Wang Shiyu drawing such a difficult drawing, he thought of the craftsmen who were retired at home. They should like such things.

These craftsmen have been accustomed to doing all kinds of delicate work all their lives, and they simply look down on the accessories sold in Jizhou City. The reason why their Yu family's silver shop is so popular is its innovation and exquisiteness. You may not be able to buy a hairpin weighing one or two kilograms with three taels of gold, but the exquisite and lively design on it is something you can't buy no matter how much money you spend. As soon as the Yu family launched these exquisite little gadgets, they became popular throughout Jizhou City, and their sales volume was even far ahead. Even though the weight was not equal, many people flocked to them.

Originally, Wang Shiyu was still wondering who to go to to customize this hair crown. This design was indeed difficult to make. It was not like modern times where one could directly use machines to 3D print it. Since Yu Xiuming was willing to help, she was naturally happy to do so. So she handed the drawing to Yu Xiuming and explained the situation to him. This was something she would use when she got married, so naturally she didn't want any defects.

"That's fine. I'm still thinking about which jewelry store to ask to help me make this hair crown. I have a lot of requirements, and I'm worried that if I go to a jewelry store in the city, I'll be driven out, or that they won't be able to meet my requirements.

Look, this is a tiara of Albizia Julibrissin. Because I don’t want it to look like it’s cast, the petals around it are all movable. The jade stones inlaid on it, except for the main one which can be a little bigger, the others should be smaller and more transparent, so that it looks good and doesn’t make the tiara look cheap. Although the inlaid jade stones are smaller, they look good. The stamens inside are all wrapped with very fine gold threads, and the thickness of the threads must be consistent. They should also be more flexible, so that they look good. And I want to insert some velvet flowers around the petals, so there needs to be some holes around them, so that there is no need to insert the velvet flowers directly into the hair...”

Wang Shiyu explained for a while before she felt thirsty. There were two teacups on the table, one was full of tea, and the other was half full. It seemed that it was the water that Yu Xiuming had just poured. So she picked them up and drank the full cup, which relieved her dry throat.

"That's all for now. I'll handle the velvet flowers myself because I know how to make them, so I don't need to buy them. As for the coral tassels next to them, I'll see where I can buy coral beads. I want to buy some tiny rice beads so that the tassels won't be too heavy and won't cause pain in the neck and shoulders. They'll also look better than those big coral beads."

Yu Xiuming listened to Wang Shiyu's words while silently looking at the drawing of the hair crown in his hand. To be honest, such a hair crown was too delicate. It didn't look like something a person would wear only once when getting married. If such a delicate hair crown could be made into a treasure of the silver shop, it would be enough. If he told these requirements to the craftsmen at home, would he be beaten out by them?

If I get beaten up, wouldn't it be embarrassing? ? ?

After all, there are still many wealthy families in Jizhou City, and they are all willing to buy one or two unique treasures for their daughters. If such a hair crown appeared in the world, it is estimated that even the picky ladies in the palace would like it very much.

Wang Shiyu looked at Yu Xiuming's slightly absent-minded eyes and knew that he must be thinking, it would be great if this thing could be sold. In fact, Wang Shiyu didn't have any other ideas. It would be even better if it could be sold. After all, this thing was designed to be used.

"Well, this albizzia tiara can also be used with other flowers, especially peonies or herbaceous peonies, which are more suitable for today's noble ladies. Other styles of flowers can be used directly. If you want to launch it in your jewelry store, this flower shape is also fine, but I hope that this albizzia tiara will not appear again. If you still want albizzia tiara, please wait until we get married before launching it. I don't want anyone to wear this kind of tiara before then."

In fact, the corolla of the Albizia julibrissin has been popular for a long time, but they are all cast using reverse molds and are not purely handmade at all.

There are naturally some differences in the degree of sophistication. Yu Xiuming didn't say a word, but he was very happy that his fiancée could see through him.
