Chapter 324 Beining Mansion 7
The mother reached out and stroked the top of Wang Jinyi's head, watching the girl biting the end of a pencil, and smiled slyly. She didn't understand what the child was thinking.
When Wang Jinyi saw her mother touching her hair habitually, she quickly pressed down the headband she had just put on.
"Mom, please don't touch my hair casually, or the headband will fall off and it won't be pretty!"
The mother saw the girl pouting and holding tightly the strange-shaped thing on her head, and asked in confusion:
"Jin'er designed this thing. What is this? Part of the hair is exposed, and the short hair is not hidden inside."
The hair on Wang Jinyi's head now is so long that it doesn't reach her ears at the longest and is almost as short as a crew cut. It is impossible to take care of it. If it were in her previous life, she might have been able to create a more avant-garde style, but not here!
I can only cover it up obediently and wait for it to grow longer.
This newly made wide headband is a simple headband made by Wang Jinyi and her mother using pink, purple and white silk braids and decorated with pearl flowers.
The special thing is that a tulle ribbon with a bow is added on the left side of the headband.
A wide, brightly colored headband is worn behind the ears, and the few remaining strands of longer black hair are pulled to the forehead to form bangs.
The pink and purple colors added color to Wang Jinyi's pale face, making her daughter look more energetic and also concealing the embarrassing length of her hair.
The novel headband weakens the visual effect of the hair, emphasizes the facial features and decorates the face.
Although it was a temporary measure, the daughter looked even more beautiful with it. The mother suddenly realized that her daughter had grown up. The child seemed to have grown into a little lady in an instant, with dazzling beauty...
"My mother's uncle promised me that he would find someone to weave a few straw hats for me according to the blueprints. Why hasn't he sent them yet?"
The mother's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Jinyi's question.
"You just handed the blueprints to someone yesterday, and you're anxious after a night. If you're anxious, think of some hair accessories we can make ourselves!"
Wang Jinyi suddenly had an idea. Isn’t this easy to handle?
"Zhu Yu."
Zhu Yu heard the young lady calling him and walked into the inner room from the door.
The boudoirs of ancient women were different from ordinary houses. Generally, different rooms for living, learning needlework, and studying poetry, books and etiquette were divided in the same house. The better the conditions of the house, of course, the more partitions the suite had, and there could also be separate rooms for resting, dressing up and other personal activities.
In other words, the real young ladies from noble families in ancient times lived in their own independent villa-like backyards!
The Xunyang Wang family didn't have such conditions! But the Beining Wang family gave such good conditions to Wang Jinyi for treatment, which showed their sincerity. Wang Jinyi should also thank them.
Zhu Yu responded, "Miss, what do you want?"
Wang Jinyi quickly drew a crochet on the white linen paper. Fearing that it would be difficult to understand, she wrote several instructions in pencil next to the crochet. She gave it to Zhu Yu only after she thought that people who saw the drawing for the first time would understand it.
"Take this to Mr. Wu outside and have them give it to my cousin and tell him I want to make a crochet hook like this. Remind them that the hook in front looks like a fishing hook and tell them to use bamboo or wood. I need it urgently!"
After saying that, he quickly marked a few numbers, but was worried about the accuracy of the numbers, so he simply wrote that the actual object was the same size as the picture!
"Zhu Yu, please come back soon."
Since I have to wait for someone from the clan to come and finalize this cooperation, and I have to stay in the Wang family of Bac Ninh for a short period of time, I can’t just recuperate, I have to do something.
Or you can start by yourself and make a few samples for each category, which will be convenient for giving examples in the future.
What is the best thing to do under the current conditions?
Wang Jinyi tilted his head and held his chin, blinking his bright eyes, his brain working rapidly.
Headbands are the simplest and easiest to make, and crocheted hats are also easy to make, but these are just stopgap measures and the condition of the hair does not change.
Suddenly, an idea came to me. I could try making a wig!
In this era, it is almost impossible to buy real hair, let alone synthetic hair made from chemical fibers, so the only option is to use animal hair!
Wang Jinyi slammed the table and stood up, startling everyone in the room.
"Yes!"
It seems that all inventions in the world come from the needs of life.
Wang Jinyi had no experience in making wigs, and had never done it in her previous life, so she could only figure everything out by trial and error.
What kind of hair would be needed to make such a long wig? As I thought about it, I slowly returned to my original point.
The mother was very concerned about her daughter's thoughts. She lowered her head and asked seriously, "Jin'er, what exactly did you think? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
"Mother, what do you think if I could make a wig that looks like human hair and wear it on my head?"
"How can this be?!"
Wang Jinyi thought: Of course it is possible. Not only is it possible, but we can also export it and earn foreign exchange. I just don’t know if people of this era can accept it.
I can accept it, at least I should make one for myself!
"Mother, what animal's fur is very similar to human hair? Mother, do horsetails look similar to human hair?"
"That's so dirty!"
Now that it has been processed and can be used to make violin bow hair, we can see its toughness. So, wouldn't it be possible to just pull the ponytail onto a simple hair cap?
Wang Jinyi hurriedly took out a blank piece of white linen paper and wrote quickly.
The first is to hook a hair cap, the second is to start making simple hair rope decorations, and the third is to prepare to make a wig...
Wang Jinyi stopped writing on making a wig and never lifted it up.
Making wigs requires cooperation from the family. You need a head of the family like your grandfather to help you and fully understand you!
Wang Jinyi regretfully put a big cross on the question "making wigs" and put down the pen.
Then just do what you can do first, and do it right away!
Test the people around you first, then divide them into groups and assign each person to their own responsibilities.
Before Wang Jinyi could make up her mind, a little maid came in with a few things in her arms and called out timidly:
"Miss."
Zhu Yu took it and placed it in front of the young lady. Wang Jinyi looked at the unfamiliar face that came in and asked:
"Zhu Yu is the maid in our room? What's her name?"
"Miss, she was the maid that your uncle bought into the mansion to take care of you when you were injured."
"Then let's call her Yiyi from now on!"
The mother asked, "Which two words?"
"It means to depend on each other for survival. It can also be understood as the first person to come to me for refuge."
The mother shook her head with a smile on her face. Her daughter was trying to be clever and used the naming method of 123. The first one was named Yiyi, the second one was named Aiai, the third one was Shanshan, and the fourth one was named Sisi. Well, they sounded pretty good.
Zhu Yu took advantage of the senior maid's position and gave the younger maid a lecture:
"From today on, you will be called Yiyi. The young lady has given you a name. From now on, you will be someone close to the second young lady of our Xunyang Wang family..."
