"Ji Nianqin, I think your history studies are a mess. You should take more classes when you have nothing to do."
"Didn't you ask me to accompany you to build a snowman? Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's true. Don't you think that there are too many hairpins to wear? Otherwise, why does Concubine Wan have so many hairpins, and each one is exquisite? Can you explain it? No way! Tsk tsk, I know you can't do it."
"Wrong! For us men, it doesn't exist. Let's not talk about it. To be frank, isn't it because she's favored? For someone like you, it's absolutely impossible."
"Impossible? Am I being particularly rude? Are you saying that since I can't be favored, I'm definitely not a concubine? Tsk, I'm not interested. It's just a pair of golden hairpins with figures on pavilions and olive-shaped hairpins... surrounded by flowers and plants. There are three people on the lower level, and two servants on either side. What's so great about it?"
"You've memorized it all, and you still say you don't care?"
"I haven't even mentioned the pavilion-figure gold-top hairpin yet. The top of the hairpin is two pavilions, surrounded by flowers and trees. The taller one... is flanked by two maids holding fans. Outside the main entrance, there's another maid, and a crane stands face to face. There's even a crane to the side, and behind the pavilion, a sika deer peers forward. It's truly beautiful."
"Even though the gold hairpins are made with a wide variety of techniques, with exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous craftsmanship, they reflect the superb skills of our Ming Dynasty craftsmen and the luxurious and leisurely lifestyle of the princes. What does it have to do with you? You're not a concubine. Show me the evidence. Don't you often hang out with married men's lawyers? Don't you care about evidence?"
"Okay, wait. At the base of that hairpin is a phoenix standing on a cloud of auspiciousness. Furthermore, the phoenix's mouth is open, and its body is connected to the base of the hairpin. Do you dare to say that this isn't incredibly similar to the one on my head? Do you? Tell the truth."
"Yours is obviously a knockoff. It's definitely one of those 9.9 yuan ones with free shipping online. Not only is the beak broken, but even the feet are ripped off. It's not a phoenix at all, it's a pheasant at best. Don't be too concerned. Anyway, I've seen my mother and many other concubines wearing them in the palace. From my preliminary assessment, I'm certain yours must be fake, or at least very fake. Take it off now, it's awful to look at."
"This is a double-pavilion gold hairpin of mine. The head of the hairpin is three pavilions side by side. The middle pavilion is the highest, while the two sides are slightly lower. And the hairpin unearthed is also high in the middle and low on both sides, with the hairpin foot extending flat downwards. Do you dare to say it is not true? Can you look into my eyes..."
"Okay, Ji Nianqin, it's really not good for you to be so self-deprecating. Come and take a look at the hairpin I put together for you."
"Snowmen don't have hair, so when wearing a hairpin, it's best to use a wig... You, why did you get me a pig? Okay, I'll stuff the snowball directly into your collar."
"Hey, Ji Nianqin, you're in a low academic level right now, and you're under a lot of pressure at work. Otherwise, you could use these snowmen to practice. What do you think? Is that okay?"
"No, although these snowmen are not human, they won't scold me if I don't wear the hairpin properly, but it will melt..."
