Chapter 1122: Chapter 1120: Changping Requests a Hairpin
By noon, Yuxing Tower was already packed, leaving no choice but to turn to the equally renowned Zhenxiu Restaurant. According to Princess Changping, this place had several excellent snacks.
The two found a private room to sit in, ordered a pot of top-grade Longjing tea and a basket of chicken soup dumplings to start with, and then Changping looked at Wufu with great curiosity.
"If you have sothing to ask, just ask. Staring at
like that is quite creepy, and I really cannot handle it," Wufu said helplessly.
"Just now at the Hundred Treasures Silver Building, they ntioned you were so kind of craftsman? That bracelet, was it truly designed by you?" Changping asked curiously.
Wufu nodded: "In my leisure ti, I carve for fun. I don’t often design other jewelry, but I do jade carving."
"Really? Did you also win so awards? Was it a competition? You can even participate in competitions? You’re amazing!"
Wufu thought for a mont and then briefly described a competition held in Chengdu Prefecture, and of course, she also ntioned a little about the stone gambling.
Changping looked at the Peach Blossom Hairpin in Wufu’s hair. It seed like both tis she t her, she was wearing this hairpin, so she asked, "Was that carved by you too?"
Wufu removed the hairpin and handed it over: "This is a Peach Blossom Hairpin carved by the Peach Blossom Spring. I wore it when I was reaching the age of marriage."
Changping examined it closely. The craftsmanship was intricate, and the design was simple and elegant. The peach blossoms were vivid and lifelike, no wonder from a distance it looked like a small cluster of peach flowers was pinned there.
The curious Qing Xin, standing behind her, also smiled and said she wanted to admire it as well. She took it over and looked at it repeatedly, exclaiming in admiration.
Changping took the hairpin back from Qing Xin and placed it in Wufu’s hair, blinking innocently: "Wufu, we can consider ourselves friends now, can’t we?"
Hearing this, Wufu’s mind buzzed. Could she say they weren’t? They had only t twice. Talking about being friends seed too fast!
"I actually won’t reach the age of marriage until July. Could you carve
a jade hairpin too?" Changping asked with a smile.
Wufu was surprised and asked, "You haven’t reached the age of marriage yet?"
Changping looked a bit bashful: "Still about two months to go. Because I often practice martial arts, I’ve grown tall, which makes
look a bit older."
Wufu hesitated upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Changping was slightly disappointed: "Is it not possible?"
"It’s not that it’s not possible!" Wufu said, "But I usually have many things to take care of and am very busy. Sotis I have to travel out of Changan, so if you want to use it for your hairpin ceremony, I can’t guarantee I can carve it in ti."
Things were different now, her schedule was getting more and more packed, and she had many affairs to manage, leaving less ti for carving. So she couldn’t promise to have it done.
"I’m not in a hurry. My mother already prepared a hairpin for the ceremony," Changping said imdiately.
Since everything had been said like this, it would be impolite to refuse, especially since the other party had already given her clothes and jewelry. It was not in her nature to accept gifts without reciprocating.
"Alright then, I can only promise that you’ll receive it once it’s carved!" Wufu agreed, then asked, "What design do you have in mind?"
"I’ll leave the design to Wufu!"
Wufu nodded, knowing she also needed to find the right jade, and it must be the top-grade jade, otherwise, it wouldn’t be presentable as a gift.
Having secured the promise of a hairpin, Changping felt very satisfied, and asked more about the carving and the scenery of the Shu region. Just at that mont, the dishes were served, and both of them were hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and ate heartily, chatting as they ate, in a harmonious atmosphere.
