Volume 2 Chapter 81
was introduced by the old housekeeper to the door, and Xing Shengbin and the two maids went towards the backyard.
Although the Shen Mansion is also a courtyard with three entrances, but the courtyard of these three entrances is much larger than the courtyard of the criminal family, passing through the flower hall and passing the moon gate, Xing Shengbin came to the backyard of the Shen family.
There is not only one courtyard in the backyard, the four sons and three women of the Shen family, each of them has a courtyard, so there are still a few empty courtyards in the backyard, but most of them are used to accommodate the guests and their dependents.
After passing the courtyard gate, Xing Shengbin directly took the maid to the main room of the East Cross Courtyard.
In the winter, no one wants to be frozen outside, basically they are guarding the stove in the room, reading books and eating melon seeds.
Just about to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside, and a little maid saw Xing Shengbin who was about to knock on the door at the same time, and hurriedly shouted inside with a small face:
"Miss, Miss Xin'er is here, sister hurry up and come in to warm up. ”
With that, the little maid let Xing Shengbin and the two maids into the room.
There were two stoves in the room, and the fifth miss was guarding the stove, drinking tea and eating snacks.
The woman in the boudoir has nothing to relieve her boredom, especially in the cold winter wax moon, in addition to melon seeds, there are all kinds of pastries in the room.
Miss Five said with a smile:
"Miss Xin'er is finally here, come in quickly. ”
Under the twitching of his cheeks, Xing Shengbin started the life of a woman.
The topic of women is always inseparable from appearance, and in the chatter of the fifth lady, the two of them began to study the embroidery on the clothes, after all, this is the main reason why Xing Shengbin came here.
"Miss Xin'er, how is this pattern? My father just got two colored satin from the palace, and it is absolutely beautiful to embroider this. ”
Xing Shengbin said with a smile:
"No matter how beautiful the pattern is, it depends on what color of colored satin it is matched, Miss Fifth may wish to take out the two colored satin, let's look at the color, and then match the pattern. ”
Miss Five said with a smile:
"It's still my sister's thoughtfulness, Xiao Yue'er~ Take away the two colored satin horses sent by my father, and let Miss Xin'er take a look. ”
The little maid went away in response, and before long, she came back with two colored satins in her arms.
A big red colored satin, a beige, these are really two extreme colors, as a crossing personnel, Xing Shengbin actually doesn't know much about colors, but the most basic cold and warm colors still know.
Modern people have a very detailed name for color, but as a man, he only knows two colors, cool and warm.
Dark colors are called warm colors, light colors are called cool colors, red, black, blue, and so on are warm colors, and pink, yellow, and blue are cold colors.
The smooth material of colored satin is smoother than a woman's skin, and such a material is actually the most suitable for doing, which is the cheongsam, and only the cheongsam can show the beauty of a woman.
It's just that in such a world. When a cheongsam appears, I'm afraid only people in Qinglou will wear it, so it's better not to show it up.
Xing Shengbin stroked the colored satin and said:
"Big red, such a material is the most suitable for gorgeous patterns, the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang is the best, but it doesn't seem to be very suitable, Miss Five, how about making a hundred flowers to compete for beauty." ”
Miss Five, blinking her eyes, asked:
"A hundred flowers are vibrant, what does it look like, is there one in it? ”
Xing Shengbin said with a smile:
"Naturally not, later, I will draw for the young lady, as for this yellow material, I don't know if the fifth young lady has ever seen an epiphyllum in full bloom. ”
The fifth lady shook her head slightly and said:
"I've seen a lot of orchids, and there are a lot of chrysanthemums in the garden, but I haven't seen them before. ”
Xing Shengbin said with a smile:
"Since I haven't seen it before, I'll draw it for Miss Fifth in a while! ”
Ink painting, Xing Shengbin is not too familiar, after coming here, he has written a lot of calligraphy, just painting, maybe almost a little hot.
Next to the stove, a piece of charcoal was removed, wrapped in a handkerchief, and Xing Shengbin began to draw on it.
In fact, there are not more than 100 flowers, but there are only a few kinds of flowers, but all of them are peonies, the national flower of China.
A hundred flowers draw peonies in various states, with buds to be released, and the flowers are full of flowers, delicate and gorgeous. Although it is only a black and white painting drawn by charcoal, it still looks exceptionally beautiful, after all, Xing Shengbin has used it, and he only has sketching skills.
Later, Xing Shengbin drew a blooming epiphany on another piece of white paper, and the patterns he saw made the whole white paper a kind of epiphany foil.
Miss Five said with a smile:
"Miss Xin'er, that's all there is to it, I didn't expect the paintings drawn by the girl to be so beautiful, how did you come up with the idea of painting with charcoal!"
Xing Shengbin showed an embarrassed expression and said with a smile:
"Flowers are not red for a hundred days, dragon and phoenix blood embroidery has experienced a period of hard days, I can't eat enough, how can I have money to buy paper, ink, pen and inkstone, I can only use some burnt branches to practice painting techniques, and over time I will get used to it, Miss likes these two patterns. ”
The fifth lady is very happy about this, but because it needs to be made into clothes, and it also needs to be embroidered, for this reason, Xing Shengbin can only say a little longer, first complete the embroidery part, and then cut and make clothes.
This is also something that can't be helped, the fake Comrade Liu Xin'er has been sent back to his hometown for the New Year, unless there is an order from the seventeenth prince, don't think about returning to Kyoto easily, which is why the dragon and phoenix blood embroidery is the reason why Xing Shengbin is informed.
Since she is a woman, she has to do what a woman should do, and female celebrity has become a skill that Xing Shengbin needs to master at this stage.
Xing Shengbin stayed in the Shen Mansion for nearly a day, chose the right pattern, and had to choose the style of clothes.
On the carriage on the way back, Xing Shengbin looked at the two pieces of cloth on the seat, the corners of his eyes twitched a little, and he really wanted to raise his slap to slap himself twice.
Beautiful things, of course, everyone likes them, but who does this score! Find a few simple patterns and perfunctory it! Why do you want to paint a hundred flowers, this amount of work, a set of clothes, to say a month or two, is it really a month or two of female popularity!
How many pieces of cloth are there, ten zhang, one zhang of cloth is 3.33 meters, infinite circulation, one piece of cloth is 33.3 meters.
Looking at the two maids, fixing the colored satin on the embroidery shelf, Xing Shengbin's heart was about to break, more than 30 meters of fabric is no problem to make ten sets of eight sets, isn't this funny!
Looking at the cloth on the shelf, Xing Shengbin twitched the corners of his mouth and said:
"Chunmei, first cut two pieces of cloth, each one foot down, and I have to make a sample for Miss Fifth to send it over, so as not to get it, I can't change it casually, and people don't like it. ”
With Xing Shengbin's instructions, the two maids began to get busy, and Xing Shengbin took the opportunity to look through the basic skills of embroidery.
As soon as the embroidery thing was opened, Xing Shengbin had the heart to die, and the female red was too damn troublesome.
In addition to the method of blood embroidery, there are also some ways to line the embroidery, double leaf embroidery, double side embroidery and so on.
The way of blood embroidery is based on these foundations, and if you want to make a qualified blood embroidery, Xing Shengbin has to learn from scratch.
And more importantly, why blood embroidery is called blood embroidery, that is, because there is blood on the needle, every stitch embroidered, every thread is embroidered with human blood, only in this way will the embroidered thing have a vivid illusion.
Looking at the whole two pieces of cloth, Xing Shengbin suddenly felt that there was no need for the eldest prince to look for him, he might have died in these two pieces of cloth.
