I trade in both worlds

Chapter 321 Hair Bun

Xu Xu started making the lucky bag. Similarly, the lucky bag also made a children's version, and the size of the bag and the small golden ball were also reduced accordingly.

"Today, we will start making lucky bags." As soon as Xu Xu finished speaking, the embroiderers stopped their work and gathered around.

The lucky bag, which symbolizes good luck and prosperity, is the style chosen by Xu Xu for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival.

This time she decided to make just one in black, showing elegance through simplicity.

The copper-gilt chain is carefully polished, shining with understated luxury.

One end of the chain is connected to a small gold ball spring buckle, which is not only a clever design for adjusting the length of the shoulder strap, but also a reflection of the ultimate pursuit of details.

With a light press, the golden ball pops open and the shoulder strap can be freely adjusted according to the needs of the wearer, which is both practical and beautiful.

The drawstring of the lucky bag also uses this small and exquisite golden ball spring buckle, which not only maintains the closure of the bag but also adds a sense of agility and fun.

Under the leadership of Xu Xu, the embroiderers began to work intensively, cutting leather or sewing the edges.

Time seems to have frozen at this moment, leaving only the subtle sound of needle and thread, and the occasional whispers and laughter, forming a warm and harmonious picture.

After a few busy days, seeing that the embroiderers had gotten the hang of it and the bags they made were better than his own, Xu Xu let go of the workshop work and went home to do his own thing.

Xu Ziqi's wedding was less than a week away. When Xu Xu saw him appear in Xuzhuang, he looked at him in surprise: "Brother Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Ziqi smiled and said, "The headdress Yuanyuan bought online doesn't match her clothes. I'm going to Guoyue County to buy two sets of headdresses."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the gate.

Hearing this, Xu Xu's heart moved, and he quickly shouted, "Brother Xu, wait a minute."

Ziqi stopped and looked back at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Xu Xu stepped forward quickly and explained, "You need to buy a bun to wear a headdress. Don't forget to buy a bun, otherwise you won't be able to wear it with just the headdress."

The bun is a hairstyle that ancient women wore, and it usually needed to be matched with a headdress.

Xu Ziqi frowned when he heard this, obviously not understanding it: "What bun?"

Seeing this, Xu Xu patiently explained, "A bun is a hairstyle for women. Different buns should be paired with different headwear to complement each other. If you don't understand, I'm afraid the headwear you buy won't be suitable."

Xu Ziqi suddenly realized what was going on, but then he felt a little embarrassed: "This... I'm really not familiar with these, how about you come with me?"

Xu Xu looked at his anxious look, nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

Xu Ziqi heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Let's go."

Xu Xu brought Xu Ziqi to the largest jewelry store in Guoyue County to choose headpieces and buns.

The dazzling array of headgear and buns in the store made Xu Ziqi a little dazzled. He looked at Xu Xu with a look of help in his eyes.

"Brother Xu, look at this set of pure gold headwear. It is simple yet luxurious and very suitable for Yuanyuan." Xu Xu said, pointing to a set of exquisitely designed headwear.

Then he picked up another set and said, "And this set of gold and ruby headpiece is even more dazzling. When she wears it on the wedding day, she will definitely be the focus of the whole audience."

Xu Ziqi examined them carefully, his eyes gradually brightening: "These are the two sets."

On the way back, Xu Ziqi suddenly thought of a question.

He stopped and turned to look at Xu Xu: "Xu'er, I think the makeup artist Shao Yuanyuan hired might not be very good at using makeup, can you help her comb her hair when the time comes?"

Xu Xu's face flashed with hesitation when she heard this. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Xu Ziqi with a complicated look in her eyes.

"Brother Xu, I...my parents are both dead and now divorced. I may not be suitable to help Sister Yuanyuan with her hair. If the makeup artist doesn't know how, I can teach her."

Hearing this, Xu Ziqi looked at Xu Xu firmly and said, "Xu Xu, I don't mind these."

Xu Xu still shook his head: "Brother Xu, some customs are better to be followed. There must be a reason for the preservation of such rules."

Xu Ziqi might not care, but what about Shao Yuanyuan? And if something bad happens in their marriage in the future, she will definitely be blamed.

Xu Ziqi and Xu Xu's concerns and also understood her difficulties.

He thought for a moment and said, "Xuxu, don't rush to refuse. I'll go back and talk to Yuanyuan about it and see what she means. If she doesn't mind, I hope you can come and help her."

Xu Xu smiled but didn't say anything. She felt that the parents of Xu Ziqi and Shao Yuanyuan would not agree.

Sure enough, the next day, she received a call from Xu Ziqi, asking Xu Xu to help teach the makeup artist how to do a bun.

At noon, Xu Ziqi and Shao Yuanyuan came to Baiping Village with a makeup artist.

The makeup artist's name is Lin Xiaoyue, a young and enthusiastic girl who has a strong interest in traditional aesthetics. However, when faced with these ancient skills, she still seems a little at a loss.

"Xiaoyue, don't worry, I'm here." Xu Xu came up to her with a smile: "I'll teach you step by step, it's very simple."

Xu Xu asked Shao Yuanyuan to sit on the chair, and Lin Xiaoyue stood beside her, holding the comb tightly in her hand, with a look of nervousness and excitement in her eyes.

"There are many kinds of hairstyles for ancient women. The more common ones are cloud bun, high bun, phoenix bun, flying fairy bun, etc," Xu Xu said as he picked up the comb and gently brushed Shao Yuanyuan's ink-black long hair.

"Let's just do a simple high bun today, which not only matches the bride's gentle temperament, but also remains dignified and elegant."

Xu Xu's technique was skillful and elegant. She divided Shao Yuanyuan's hair into several strands and carefully coiled each strand.

Lin Xiaoyue was watching intently from the side, occasionally looking up and meeting Xu Xu's eyes. The two smiled knowingly, and the tacit understanding between them needed no words.

"Look, like this, first divide the hair into several strands, and then roll them up one by one. Pay attention to the appropriate tightness. It should be firm but not too tight, otherwise the bride will be uncomfortable." Xu Xu explained as she did it.

The hairpin in her hand gently passed through her hair to secure the bun that was about to take shape: "Finally, secure it with the hairpin. It should be inserted just right, so that it is both stable and soft."

Lin Xiaoyue nodded, her eyes gleaming with eagerness to try.

"Can I try?" she asked softly, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

"Of course, come, I'll teach you." Xu Xu handed the comb to Lin Xiaoyue and gave instructions from the side.

Lin Xiaoyue carefully took the comb and tried it step by step according to Xu Xu's instructions.

Although her movements were a little clumsy, she gradually found the feeling under Xu Xu's patient guidance, and Shao Yuanyuan's bun gradually took shape in her hands.
