Ruan Mianmian reached out and touched her hair.
She braided her hair into a bun at the back of her head today, and then inserted a rosewood hairpin that she made last night into the bun.
The color of rosewood is not conspicuous in the hair, but Ruan Mianmian hung a teardrop-shaped freshwater pearl on the hairpin.
If you are not someone who pays special attention to details, it would be easy to overlook it.
However, for those who like pearls, the restrained luster of pearls shining brightly in the hair has a fatal attraction.
It was obvious that Lady Susan liked it very much.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped them after just one glance.
Ruan Mianmian pulled out the hairpin, and her hair bun instantly fell apart because it was no longer held in place by the hairpin.
The sunlight shines on the scattered hair, giving them a layer of golden light.
Not only Qin Zheng was stunned by this scene, but even Mrs. Susan was mesmerized.
It was really beautiful. She had only seen this feeling in the ancient Chinese paintings collected at home.
Is this the mysterious oriental charm?
Seeing Mrs. Susan's expression, Ruan Mianmian felt relieved. It seemed that her luck was back.
"Are you talking about this?" Ruan Mianmian handed the hairpin to Mrs. Susan and said.
She learned English from the Internet in her previous life, and her accent is a bit Chinese, not as smooth and proficient as Qin Zheng's.
But it's much better than most people nowadays.
When Qin Zheng heard Ruan Mianmian speaking English, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he remained silent and didn't say a word.
Mrs. Susan took the red sandalwood hairpin very happily and said with a smile, "Yes, this is it. It is really beautiful!"
Mrs. Susan's family is a very old family in Europe. They have a collection of many antiques and calligraphy and paintings about China.
Mrs. Susan grew up watching these things, and she developed a strong interest in this mysterious and ancient oriental country.
Her dream is to come here and see it for herself.
Finally, she got what she wanted last year.
She followed her husband to this oriental kingdom that she had longed for since childhood.
However, after arriving here, she was a little disappointed.
Everything here was different from what she had imagined.
In her imagination, the place where so many gorgeous and mysterious works of art were created should be open, free and full of vitality. But the reality is that it is dull, backward and ignorant.
She didn't understand whether there was something wrong with her imagination or with the country.
She wanted to go back, but because of her husband's work, she couldn't go back for the time being.
So, she had no choice but to change from a lady who loved shopping, dressing up and drinking afternoon tea to a foreign friend who could only visit the Friendship Store once a month to buy some handicrafts.
Yesterday was originally her monthly shopping day, but she was delayed by some trivial matters and had to change it to today.
Unfortunately, the translator was not available today, and she was ready to go back empty-handed.
However, she didn't expect that she would be attracted by a ray of pearly light just by passing by.
Looking closely, she saw jewelry that she had never seen since coming to China.
She had only seen such things in ancient paintings collected at home, and this was the first time she had seen the real thing.
So she called the person without thinking.
Mrs. Susan looked at the rosewood hairpin over and over again for a long time. Ruan Mianmian and Qin Zheng stood quietly by and did not urge her.
"My beautiful lady, can you sell this to me?" Although she was a little embarrassed, Mrs. Susan really liked it, so she asked even though it was very presumptuous.
Fearing that Ruan Mianmian would disagree, she added, "I can pay double the price."
Ruan Mianmian looked at Mrs. Susan and replied with a smile, "No need. Since you saw this hairpin at first sight and liked it so much, it proves that you have a connection with it. You don't have to pay me. I'll give you this hairpin as a gift for making friends."
As she spoke, Ruan Mianmian took the hairpin from Mrs. Susan's hand, and helped her put it into her bun, saying admiringly, "Well, it suits you very well. It looks very good."
Ruan Mianmian was not complimenting. Mrs. Susan's hair color was golden yellow, and a little bit white.
The rosewood hairpin is very eye-catching on her hair, and the luster of the pearls is very harmonious with her skin tone, making her temperament suddenly become gentler.
The sharpness of that European and American appearance was instantly weakened.
Mrs. Susan was a little flattered. She didn't expect to get something she liked so easily without spending a penny.
She followed Ruan Mianmian's example and also put her hands on
"How can this be possible?!" Lady Susan was unwilling to take advantage of this.
She has lived in China for almost a year. During this period, she also went to some other places with her husband. She knows that many people in China now have problems with food and clothing.
Most Chinese people are not rich, and this thing is not cheap. She has a pair of earrings of similar quality pearls, which she bought for a thousand dollars.
"Why not?" Ruan Mianmian still had a smile on her face. "There is an old Chinese saying, 'It is a great pleasure to have friends from afar.' It means that when you meet someone from afar, even if it is the first time you meet, you can become friends because of each other's sincerity and feel happy about it. Isn't that what we are like?"
