"Madam, how about wearing this hairpin?"
"A pomegranate flower? It does suit the season, but it's too heavy and tiring to wear. Choose a simpler one." This pomegranate flower hairpin was part of the dowry Ms.Wang had prepared for her. She had bought it two years ago in town. She remembered buying two sets, one for her and one for Yunyun. The people at the shop, upon hearing that Ms.Wang was preparing dowries for her daughters, suggested they get solid ones.
They said, in case something happened in the future, the solid hairpins could be used as silver. Upon hearing this, Ms. Wang agreed and had an entire set of pomegranate flower accessories made solid. They were beautiful, but not very practical.
"What about this one?" It was a jade hairpin. She didn't like wearing jade jewelry; being in the countryside, there were many chances it could be damaged. If it broke, it would be a waste of money, which would be a pity.
