Chapter 35 Embroidery
Lin Zhixuan smiled faintly, she naturally knew that in the previous life, the fourth sister Lin Yaxuan married Liang Jingzhi, the second son of Lord Liang of Hangzhou Weaving, and once took a card from Mrs. Liang to herself, recommending herself to learn needlework from the embroidery master who had just retired from the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau at that time. And this step master is the top master in the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, and even the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, she is specialized in making dragon robes for the emperor!
Lin Zhixuan once heard Master Bu talk to her about the exquisite skills of making a dragon robe, which can be described as a mastery, a dragon robe, it takes more than 20 needlework masters to do it for a whole year, winter clothes to be made in spring, and summer clothes to start in the autumn of the first year, the subtleties can really be seamless, that is, a fireball on the dragon robe is calculated by the Internal Affairs Office according to the number of warp threads, how many weft lines, how many threads, one line. And because the silk with the season of cold and warm, toughness will also change, so the same auspicious cloud, the number of silk threads used in winter is different from summer, fragments are extremely cumbersome, the weaving bureau of the needlework master does not have a more than 20 years of embroidery, is not afraid to touch the dragon robe.
When Lin Zhixuan was learning embroidery with Master Bu at that time, she was extremely attentive, and she was very liked by Master Bu, and it was rare to almost teach her. Lin Zhixuan thoughtfully stroked the embroidery sample in her hand, picked up the needle and thread and then embroidered the green bird leisurely, while casually asking: "There is still embroidery work outside this splendid workshop?"
The purple kite didn't know very well, and the green bird replied, "Yes." This splendid workshop is very famous, so the girls and young ladies of the big families in Hangzhou are doing the clothes and embroidery of the four seasons there, plus it also sells some small objects such as clothes, embroidered shoes and handkerchiefs, so the work is very much, and the embroidery girl in the embroidery workshop can not catch up with the work at all.
And because some maids and women in various houses also have excellent needlework, in order to subsidize the family, they will take out their embroidery work and sell it, but many people in the market do not know how to do it, and there are always disputes when they sell expensive and cheap. The master of this splendid workshop has a high vision, everyone is convinced, so there are many people who buy embroidery and take it to the splendid workshop to find the master to see, and later, simply the splendid workshop itself put away the embroidery work, the price is very fair.
Later, the splendid workshop slowly put the embroidery work in the embroidery workshop to those embroiderers who often came to sell embroidery to do, and gradually became a scale. The maids and wives in various provinces can also follow the quality of their own embroidery workers and take a few dollars to subsidize chewing. It's just that what embroidery work is put in this splendid workshop to whoever is assigned by the needlework masters, and the girl can only embroider a veil like my mother. Moreover, the rules of this splendid workshop are that you must not miss the time, saying that when you will pay it, you must hand it over, otherwise not only will you not give silver, but also don't think about taking the embroidery work of the splendid workshop in the future, and it is because of this that my mother is so anxious. ”
Lin Zhixuan listened silently, and had already embroidered the remaining half of the handkerchief in her hand and handed it to the green oriole, who took it and looked at it, and was very amazing: "The girl is really a pair of skillful hands, she doesn't even need to dismantle the pile of grass I embroidered, just these few stitches, this flower seems to be alive, but it is ten times better than my mother's embroidery, this is really a little stone into gold!"
Purple Kite and Xia Lan both crowded over to watch, and they were full of praise, but Lin Zhixuan smiled and said: "How can it be so good, look at your open mouth, it's a pity not to tell stories and sing." If the green bird doesn't think I'm talking too much, I have an idea. ”
The green bird hurriedly said, "Girl, let's say." ”
Lin Zhixuan said: "Don't worry, I see that your embroidery is really bad, I think that when the master of the Splendid Workshop collects the embroidery work, he will definitely go to the detailed inspection, you can't make a reason for it here alone, there is an embroidery job in my house is not bad, why don't you let them help you try it...... Don't worry, I know you're embarrassed to trouble people with such a thing, so this time, you also let your mother let go, and the embroidered silver will be scattered to the girl who helps you.
As soon as the green bird heard this, she couldn't wait to kowtow to Lin Zhixuan immediately to thank her, and read with her mouth full of words: "Amitabha, why didn't I expect it, but thank you so much, girl." ”
Lin Zhixuan asked Xia Lan: "Who is the embroiderer in our house who is good?"
Xia Lan also smiled bitterly: "The girl is talking about me, in our house, I can still take out my embroidery work to see, and the others are not on this topic." ”
Lin Zhixuan smiled and said: "Look at my memory, you sit down quickly, embroider two stitches and I'll see." ”
Xia Lan sat down according to her words, re-propped up a handkerchief with a brace, and embroidered two stitches like this, Lin Zhixuan looked at it and praised: "It's really good." ”
He said to the green oriole: "It's better than your mother's embroidery." ”
When the green bird heard this, he also hurriedly got up and bowed to Xia Lan: "Trouble Miss Xia Lan." ”
Xia Lan hurriedly stopped her, and said: "What is my sister doing, that is, my sister doesn't dislike it, it just so happens that I have been living here with the girl for the past two days, and I will do this embroidery for my sister when I am free." ”
Lin Zhixuan covered her mouth and smiled on the side, pulling the purple kite and said: "Look at the two of them thank each other, but no one cares about my idea, I solved this urgent need for the green oriole on the one hand, and found a money-making job for Xia Lan on the other hand, and neither of them even remembered me." ”
Green Oriole and Xia Lan could hear Lin Zhixuan's joke, and they also hurriedly turned their heads to Xie Lin Zhixuan, and Green Oriole said: "Since the girl came up with this idea for Green Oriole, Green Oriole will ask the girl for another time, and let Xia Lan concentrate on doing embroidery work here for me in the past few days, and I will serve the girl for the time being, so how can the girl look good?"
Lin Zhixuan smiled and said to Zi Kite: "Look at it, I, the person who came up with the idea, didn't get half of the benefits, but I took one of my own." At the same time, he turned back to the green bird and said, "Then I am not welcome, I will use you to serve every day, I want to see how thorough the people who have served my mother." ”
Everyone in the room laughed, but Xia Lan hurriedly excused herself: "No, no, I still serve the girl, just take this embroidery work back for me to do at night." ”
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "Xia Lan, you are also sincere, you see that someone has finally taken over your class, you should be able to finish the embroidery for two days in one day, let her work hard for you, you will hide in the house with this brace all day long and sleep lazily, she still has to thank you a thousand times, eat and drink well, and dare not wronged you." ”
The green bird also cried and laughed when she heard it: "Listen, the third girl is really biased." ”
Lin Zhixuan was talking and laughing with them, and suddenly heard a hysterical cry outside the door, the three of them were silent, only to hear the sound seemed to come from Mrs. Wang's room, Lin Zhixuan walked to the door to look, and sure enough, she saw a little maid dressed in green being put out by two strong mothers-in-law, the little maid was extremely wolf, crying and shouting: "Mrs. spare your life! Mrs! Please spare me! I really didn't seduce the second master! It was the second master who asked me to go! Mrs. Please spare me, Mrs. I really didn't seduce the second master!"
