At the market
Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Si Niang stopped at a place selling women's silk flowers and handkerchiefs, as well as women's jewelry.
The peddler's basket was filled with pretty, fresh items.
A crowd of young women and wives surrounded the peddler, all asking about the prices.
Mu Shuangshuang picked a hairpin and compared it against Yu Si Niang's head.
"Mom, what do you think of this hairpin?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Yu Si Niang naturally shook her head.
"Shuangshuang, Mom doesn't like these flashy things, let's not buy them. You buy whatever you like for yourself; Mom's okay."
Yu Si Niang didn't even look at the hairpin, immediately saying she didn't like it.
Not for any reason other than not wanting to spend the money.
Mu Shuangshuang ignored her and turned to ask Lu Yuanfeng.
"Fengzi, does this hairpin look good on my mom?"
"It looks good. This blue hairpin really compliments Aunt Si's skin."
Lu Yuanfeng answered truthfully.
