In the Qi family boudoir, Qi Zhaoning sat in front of the mirror, while Qi Zhenzhu stood behind her gently bundling her hair.
The mirror was a rare glass one, and the comb was made of rhinoceros horn. The comb, as smooth as black jade, plowed through Qi Zhaoning's hair, making it as sleek as satin.
Qi Zhenzhu tied up her hair: "Which hairpin will you wear today, Miss?"
Qi Zhaoning took out two hairpins from the left-hand drawer of the dressing box, one was a Dian Cui velvet flower pin, and the other was a white jade pin like mutton fat. She looked at herself in the mirror: "The one on the left is a new piece by Master Li, and the one on the right is finely carved by Master Zhou. Which do you think suits me better? It's said that Master Zhou also made a white jade pin embedded with east pearl, which was his two months of effort specially prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The east pearl is as round as the moon, but unfortunately, someone took it a step ahead..."
