Chapter 55: A Trip to Embroidered Accord
The embroidery workshop that Zhou Zheng's daughter-in-law went to was called Embroidery Age. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The scale of embroidered Accord is not small, and the store is also open on Qianlou Street.
Jiang Huijia followed Zhou Zheng's daughter-in-law into the door of the embroidered pavilion, and a female man in her early twenties came out, and smiled at Zhou Zheng's daughter-in-law: "Wu Sanniang has always been good?
Jiang Huijia may not be as familiar with Zhou Zheng's daughter-in-law as this female guy, and it was only after listening to this female guy's name that she knew that Zhou Zheng's daughter-in-law's original surname was Wu.
Wu Sanniang looks five big and three thick, but because she often has to do embroidery, her hands are delicate and round, although the hand shape is slightly larger, but the ten fingers are slender, and they are still very beautiful.
She was carrying a bamboo basket behind her back, and when she heard the female guy's question, she grabbed the strap of the basket tightly with her hand, and asked without answering, "Is Mrs. Zhao there?"
The female guy said: "I just came here this morning, and the shopkeeper is doing inventory in the backyard." Said and laughed, "It seems that there is really a big item today, Wu Niangzi will wait a while, I will go to the backyard and talk to the shopkeeper." ”
Wu Sanniang was busy talking about her work, and Zhou Dalang's daughter-in-law whispered to Jiang Huijia: "My mother got a large embroidery sample last time, so I finally embroidered a screen to save face." I must find the shopkeeper Zhao and get a good price. ”
It turns out that Wu Sanniang can still embroider screens, it seems that her embroidery skills are really good.
Jiang Huijia nodded, looking at the furnishings in the embroidered pavilion. I saw that there were three doors of this shop, and the whole was divided into two parts. The left part is mainly decorated with silk and satin cloths, and the right part is decorated with various embroidery pieces.
From small purses, handkerchiefs, book bags, fans, headscarves, forehead wipes, to quilts, pillowcases, embroidery paintings, screens, etc., the varieties are rich and colorful.
Jiang Huijia only felt dazzled when she saw it, as if she had suddenly walked from the prosperous floating world into a classical scene.
Because Baoqing Mansion is located in Sanxiang, most of the local embroidery products are Hunan embroidery. Hunan embroidery is often known for being realistic and expressive, and Jiang Huijia doesn't know much about this, but because the original owner's embroidery skills are lit up, she also has some appreciation ability.
The quality of the embroidery products of the embroidered Accord is not bad, at least in Jiang Huijia's opinion, according to the level of the original owner, embroidering a purse or something may be able to barely put it on this counter, but if it is a screen embroidery painting and other things, the things she embroiders are significantly different from what this embroidered Accord sells.
And Jiang Huijia, a handicapped party, even if she has the memory of the original owner, if she embroiders, I am afraid that the embroidered things will be miserable.
She wanted to buy something, these little things are so beautiful, it is not easy to see such embroidery in modern times. Although Jiang Huijia lived to be twenty-seven years old in her last life, because she has always been single, she has always felt that she still has a soft girl with a girl's heart living in her heart. Everything that is beautiful and girls will like, she also likes it very much.
There was still a female guy behind the counter, and when she saw Jiang Huijia's eyes lingering on some small embroideries, she came over and asked diligently: "Does this lady have a fancy to it? All the objects we embroider Accord are high-quality, and the embroidery samples are specially painted by painters, which are not comparable to ordinary embroidery pieces." Lady, look at it, I'll get it for you. ”
Jiang Huijia was a little surprised when she heard her mention the painter, and then reacted, isn't it? Not a master of embroidery, and how many ordinary embroiderers can embroider out of thin air without embroidery samples? Some simple and common patterns may also have the possibility of blind embroidery that makes perfect with practice, but if you want to embroider a boutique with certain characteristics, embroidery samples are still essential.
After all, ancient times are no better than modern times, and no matter how complex the pattern is, as long as there is a draft, countless copies can be printed. In today's era, if you want to make fine embroidery patterns, don't you have to ask a painter to paint them?
Jiang Huijia was moved, she was handicapped when she did handicrafts, but her calligraphy and painting skills were not bad. She started learning to draw and practice calligraphy when she was a child, and this is also the origin of family learning. Later, she followed Mr. Jiang to worship several masters, and learned Gongbi Chinese painting seriously. After more than 20 years, I dare not say how high my artistic achievements can be, but at least I have a solid foundation and are above the level.
However, in all dynasties, no matter what kind of painter they are, whether their level is high or low, the value of their paintings in the eyes of the world always depends on their reputation. Famous, is to draw a mess of grass out of some people say that this is freehand, not famous, even if you can paint the smile of the Mona Lisa, the world can still criticize it as craftsmanship, and then depreciate it worthless.
The buying and selling price of a work of art is often sought after, but its true value is easily overlooked.
Therefore, since Jiang Huijia came to the Dajing Dynasty, even if she wanted to copy books to make money, she never thought about buying and selling calligraphy and paintings.
Not to mention that she hasn't been able to reach the level where a painting can astonish the world, and even if she can reach that level, she may not be able to meet the discerning person who is willing to bid for her.
Don't you see how many artists in the world became famous after their deaths?
It's not just about painting, such as Pu Songling. He had a difficult life during his lifetime, and failed to succeed in scientific research for more than 40 years, so he could only make a living by ghostwriting. And this is such Pu Songling, but he wrote "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", which represents the highest achievement of Chinese literary short stories. He was penniless during his lifetime, and he will be famous in history after his death!
Not only in the East, the Dutch painter Van Gogh was depressed during his lifetime, and even had a nervous breakdown because of the hardships he experienced. The only painting sold during his lifetime was only four hundred francs, but after his death, his paintings shocked the world. After being sought after by the world several times, Van Gogh's paintings have even been put on sky-high price tags and stand among the world's artworks.
It can be seen that the fluctuation of the value of artworks sometimes makes sense, but sometimes it is not reasonable at all!
Of course, real works of art should not be measured by money, but Jiang Huijia is a layman, and he can't reach that level.
She only knew that if she wanted to sell her paintings as works of art, it was simply impossible for her to be nameless. Instead of selling your paintings as cheap ornaments, it is better to draw some large embroidery patterns and sell them in the embroidery workshop, and maybe sell them for some price.
This is another way to make money, anyway, the family has been separated, and now is the time to make money openly.
After all, if her medical skills want to be used, it is not an overnight thing. However, painting embroidery patterns is different, the original owner is also literate and can draw some simple patterns. She is now married, as long as she doesn't take out her calligraphy and paintings in front of her mother's family, even if she paints embroidery samples to sell, no one will doubt anything. And after a while, she has a new reason to say that the "growth" of her calligraphy and painting level has passed.
Jiang Huijia was thinking about things, and she was not so keen on buying embroidery. She casually pointed to a belt embroidered with lotus flowers, and was about to ask the female fellow to take it out, when a slightly noisy whisper suddenly came from the door of the embroidered accord.
But it was a group of six or seven female passengers, who got off at the door of the embroidered Accord in a carriage.
