Wang Shiyu, who had been staying in her room since breakfast in the morning, finally went out in the evening after she had planned out all the drawings she had designed.
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. As he ran, 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. He used to feel tired after writing a long character, but now he is quite happy.
Even when he saw Wang Shiyu coming, Ruirui did not stop his actions. Instead, he kept staring at the windmill in his hand and laughed pleasantly in his childish voice.
Yu Xiuming did not ask what Wang Shiyu was doing in the room today. He brought her 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 be so anxious now.
Seeing Wang Shiyu coming out, Yu Xiuming stood up from the recliner, took her hand, and let her sit on the recliner next to him, watching the children playing happily.
"Are you done? I saw the design 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 make it according to your design."
He had seen the first draft of the hair crown designed by Wang Shiyu, especially its exquisite appearance, which made Yu Xiuming feel a little amazed. 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 had more trust in their skills. 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 used to doing all kinds of delicate work all their lives and simply look down on the ornaments sold in Jizhou City. The reason why their Yu family's silver shop is so popular is that it is innovative and exquisite. You may not be able to buy a hairpin weighing one or two kilograms with three taels of gold, but the exquisite design and smart appearance on it are 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 were even far ahead. Even if the weight was not equal, many people flocked to buy 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 kicked out or that they won't be able to meet my requirements.
Look, this is a tiara made of Albizia Julibrissin. I didn't want it to look cast, so the petals around it are all movable. The jade stones inlaid on it, except for the main one which can be a little larger, should be smaller. They also need to be transparent, so that it looks good and doesn't make the tiara look cheap. Although the inlaid jade stones are smaller, they are beautiful. The stamens inside are wrapped with extremely fine gold thread, and the thickness of the thread must be consistent. It should also be flexible, so that it looks good. I'm going to insert some velvet flowers around the petals, so there need to be some holes around them so that I don't have to insert the velvet flowers directly into the hair... "
Wang Shiyu explained for a long time before she felt thirsty. There were two teacups on the table. One was full of tea, while the other was only 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 I need for now. I'll handle the velvet flowers myself, since 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'd like to buy some tiny rice beads. That way, the tassels won't be too heavy, and won't cause pain in the neck and shoulders. Plus, they'll look better than those large coral beads."
Yu Xiuming listened to Wang Shiyu's words and silently looked at the drawing of the hair crown in his hand. To be honest, this kind of hair crown was too delicate. It didn't look like something a person would only wear once at a wedding. 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 appears in the world, it is estimated that even the picky concubines in the palace will like it very much.
Wang Shiyu looked at Yu Xiuming's slightly absent-minded eyes and knew that he was probably 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 Albizia Julibrissin crown can also be used with other flowers, especially peonies or Chinese 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 pattern is also fine, but I hope that this Albizia Julibrissin crown will not appear again. If you still want Albizia Julibrissin crowns, please wait until after we get married. I don't want anyone to wear this kind of crown before then."
In fact, the corolla of the Albizia julibrissin has been popular for a long time, but it is just that they are all cast using molds and are not purely handmade at all.
There were naturally some differences in the level of sophistication. Yu Xiuming didn't say a word, but he was very happy that his fiancée could see through him.
