Lin Yuan feebly held her forehead, wondering if she could leave a little mystery for them?
The jewelry was stored in a small box on its own. When Lin Yuan opened it, inside were several neatly arranged smaller boxes of varying sizes.
The first small box was opened, revealing a forehead ornant wrapped in soft red velvet cloth.
Nine fluttering butterflies adorned it, each crafted with lifelike detail, especially the two curved antennae which could gently tremble even without any breeze.
Tian Xuan’s eyes lit up, and she reached out her delicate little finger to lightly touch the butterfly wings, exclaiming in surprise, "The wings actually move!"
Indeed, the butterfly wings were crafted to be extraordinarily thin, and with their hollow design, they could quiver slightly with just a light touch, or even sway when worn on the head with the rhythm of walking.
From a distance, they looked like real butterflies resting on the top of one’s head.
These were Lin Yuan’s designs, though bringing them to life was no easy feat.
Thanks must go to Han Huijuan, for without her ticulous skill, many of Lin Yuan’s designs wouldn’t have turned out as desired!
Apart from the butterflies, two long, fine golden tassels hung naturally from each end of the forehead ornant, perfectly accentuating a petite face.
Lately, Lin Yuan had gained so weight, and this design was sothing she purposely added!
The second small box opened to reveal a similar design but obviously smaller hair ornant for the back of the head.
To complent the forehead ornant, the back ornant also shared a similar design concept.
Yet, Lin Yuan skillfully designed the entire accessory in the shape of a double heart, symbolizing Heart to Heart.
The third small box was noticeably smaller, containing six golden hairpins.
Though the hairpins were small, they were crafted with extre intricacy.
Instead of a single butterfly at their tops, there were blooming or budding flowers, each topped with a delicate small golden butterfly.
The golden butterflies varied in appearance; so flapped their wings, while others had their wings slightly closed, crafted with exquisite lifelikeness.
These ornants, along with the golden hairpins, ford the complete headpiece Lin Yuan planned to wear for her wedding tomorrow.
While other brides might wear heavy pure gold headpieces or very expensive purple gold ones, Lin Yuan’s ingeniously designed and distinct headpiece was truly a first sight to behold.
Yan Ruchun and Tian Xuan admired and praised them, each promising Lin Yuan that when they marry, they must invite her to design an exclusive, uniquely crafted headpiece for them too.
"I see that you’ve used very little gold in your pieces, but the design is truly exquisite, and the craftsmanship is excellent. I’ve never seen butterflies that could flap their wings like these before!"
Among everyone present, besides Lin Yuan, Yan Ruchun had the most business acun, quickly seeing more potential in the jewelry.
"How about it? Have you thought about opening a jewelry shop? You can just focus on designing unique jewelry, and I’ll handle everything else!"
Thumping her chest with a loud smack, Yan Ruchun’s guarantee echoed like thunder.
Lin Yuan burst out laughing; truth be told, Yan Ruchun indeed had a knack for business.
The success of her restaurant and the Idle Tea House was partly due to her culinary skills, but also because she borrowed ideas from predecessors like Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West.
In essence, much of her success was borrowed from the wisdom of others.
But Yan Ruchun was different; she genuinely had a knack for business and grasped the trends in the Capital city with precision.
If placed in the modern world, with her mind and ingenuity, Yan Ruchun would definitely be a formidable woman in the business world.
Seeing Lin Yuan laugh, an oblivious Yan Ruchun was slightly confused and had no ti to ask more before Tian Xuan took the lead in laughing.
"Sister Yan, are you so excited that you’ve beco silly? Did you forget that Yuanyuan already has a jewelry shop managed by Miss Han?"
To prevent any sinister motives from the Han family and avoid being sched by Lady Bai, the jewelry shop managed by Han Huijuan was opened under Lin Yuan’s na from the start.
But things were different now; the Han family was completely defeated.
