Zhen Wanyi stood between her mother and Aunt Fu, listening to the hidden words of the two, revealing a look of ignorance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn the end, the fourth wife took pity on her daughter and got up to say goodbye first.
The fourth wife, who returned to Hanxiang Courtyard, frowned at Mama Huang and said, "Mama, where did you find your aunt, such an arrogant child, Wan'er is only afraid that she will be offended." ā
Mama Huang smiled shyly on the side, "That Aunt Fu has the skill of handles, and you have also seen the double-sided embroidered screen, can you still see the embroidery work?"
The fourth lady thought for a while and pressed her temperament, "I have nothing to say about that embroidery, but I'm worried that her temperament will lead Sister Wan astray." ā
"Fourth wife, you are concerned about it, the Fu family is the largest embroidery family in the south of the Yangtze River, and those who can give names to walk out are all embroidery girls who have mastered at least eight kinds of stitches, not to mention the family in the south, that is, the palace is heavy on asking the Fu embroidery girl to enter the palace. ā
The fourth lady let out an "oh" and said strangely: "Then this Aunt Fu we invited?"
Mama Huang smiled, "Although this Aunt Fu is not a descendant of the Fu family, she has not produced five clothes, and she is good at embroidery, and she is the best at double-sided embroidery." It's just that this life is not good, he died before he got married, so he became a widow and a cousin, and the tablet of the Yu family's son-in-law worshipped, I heard that her mother-in-law was not a good person, Aunt Fu had to come out to be a husband. ā
When the fourth wife heard this, she felt that this woman was pitiful, and the little estrangement between her and Aunt Fu disappeared, "That Aunt Fu is also a poor person." Since she doesn't want to go back to her mother-in-law's house, she should teach us Sister Wan well. ā
"Mrs. rest assured, the slaves and maids have inquired, Aunt Fu has also taught several ladies in Qinghe City, and the daughter of the prefect's family has learned from Aunt Fu, I heard that the hand embroidery is alive in the husband's house, but it can be greatly exposed. ā
The fourth wife's face turned cloudy and then sunny, and she showed a smile, "That's good, that's good." Tell Xi'er to let her serve Aunt Fu attentively. ā
Mama Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and personally went to Zhilan Courtyard without mentioning it.
said that Zhen Wanyi was here, and after the fourth wife left, Zhen Wanyi smiled and re-made a bowl of tea for Aunt Fu and put it on Aunt Fu's right hand, "Aunt Fu, please drink tea." ā
Aunt Fu smiled, took a sip of the tea bowl, put it down, and asked, "Miss Nine can use needles, what kind of needles do you know?"
Zhen Wanyi shook her head, "I haven't learned." ā
Aunt Fu nodded, walked to the embroidery stand and sat down, "Then let's come to the credit line first." ā
So one afternoon, Zhen Wanyi was learning to open threads and thread needles. Watching Aunt Fu's dexterous hands turn over and pull, and with a few turns of her fingers, a silk thread was divided into four, six, eight, and sixteen strands, and the embroidery needles spread out from thick to thin twelve, the thinnest one was not much thicker than a hair, Zhen Wanyi smashed her tongue again.
One afternoon, Zhen Wanyi was in a monotonous line, drawing lines, splitting lines, breaking, dropping, re-proximity drawing, splitting, breaking and losing, and then continuing. Repeating constantly, Zhen Wanyi's heart became quieter and quieter, and there was only the silk thread in front of her in her eyes, when the first silk thread was divided into four threads, Zhen Wanyi took a long breath, looked at the silk thread in her hand that was fluttering and not weighed a little weight, smiled and dyed the corners of her eyebrows, and looked at Aunt Fu with big eyes.
Aunt Fu couldn't help but smile, what a good boy.
"Alright, let's take a break and learn stringing later. ā
As she spoke, she got up and stood up, and Zhen Wanyi also hurriedly stood up and walked to the door.
"Miss Nine, raise your head and move your neck to look at the scenery around you. ā
Zhen Wanyi did what Aunt Fu said, and kept concentrating on bowing her head and dividing the line, the muscles of her upper body were tense, and she felt that her arms and neck were very sore during this relaxation. Shaking his head, he reached out and bent over for a while before he felt more comfortable.
Aunt Fu looked even more satisfied, she was really a smart and good child.
Zhen Wanyi felt that Aunt Fu looked gentle but quite distant, so she treated her as a teacher, she did whatever she said, and she didn't ask if she didn't want to say it. In this way, it is also the taste of Aunt Fu, she is a quiet person, there is no way to come out to teach her aunt, it is possible to find such a quiet place to stay but it is good.
On the way to Changkang Courtyard together in the evening, Brother Xiu pulled Zhen Wanyi and asked, "What words has my sister learned, how many have you known?" Also, can you embroider? When can I embroider a purse for my brother?"
Zhen Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled: "This embroidery is a simple matter, I only learned to divide four branches in an afternoon, and I can't do anything else." However, when I learn how to make a purse for Brother Xiu'er, what kind of pattern do you like?"
The books I learn are not the same as those of my brothers, and besides, my main purpose is to recognize words, and there is an adult soul here, how can it be slow, but if it comes out, it is also a suspicion, why bother?
Zhen Xiujie was really diverted by Zhen Wanyi's question, and said happily: "I like orchids, butterflies, as well as fish and lotus," after speaking, he glanced at his sister who was smiling, and he was very happy in his heart, and felt that it was really good for his sister to be so close to him, why did he forget his sister before?
"Anyway, I like everything my sister embroiders. ā
Zhen Wanyi's heart was warm, and she looked at her brother who was as tall as herself, "That's okay, when I learn it, I'll embroider a purse for Brother Xiu." ā
"Eighth brother, ninth sister, what are you talking about?"
The dragon and phoenix fetus raised their heads, and Zhen Xiujie took the lead and said, "Sixth brother, my sister said that she would give me a purse." ā
Zhen Mingjie raised his eyebrows, "My sister has learned to embroider purses?"
Zhen Wanyi blushed with shame, she wanted to say an excuse to reveal the embroidered purse, but she didn't expect Brother Xiu'er to speak so quickly, and she shouted out before she had a shadow.
"No, I,"
Zhen Xiujie wrinkled his nose at Zhen Mingjie, his childish voice carried a hint of annoyance, and he was a little angry that his brother didn't believe him. "My sister only started the credit line today, but my sister is so smart, she will be able to embroider purses soon, and I will be the first to get it when the time comes. ā
Zhen Mingjie looked at his shy sister and smiled gently, "Well, my sister is so smart, she will definitely embroider her purse well, and my eldest brother is also waiting." ā
At this moment, Zhen Wanyi felt that a crow flew overhead, and she owed two purses without touching the cloth. But the heavens felt that her debts were not enough, and the fourth master who walked in the front also turned his head, took off the purse around his waist and shook it.
"Wan'er, my father's purse is all raw, so I'm waiting for my good daughter to change it. ā
The emotion in Zhen Wanyi's heart was like the tide surging in fifteen, fluttering over, rippling and rippling, round after circle, continuously.
Obviously, my mother's room was still making purses for my father a few days ago, "Well, when I learn it, everyone will make one." ā
The hard guarantee was cut off by the delicate voice, and only the coquettish remained.
