Chapter 22 The Benefits of Learning Needlework
Early the next morning, Mama Wei first went to Mrs. Zhou to ask for instructions, and went to Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan to teach needlework.
Mrs. Zhou sent her mother-in-law to Songfeng Yuan to send large and small flower bandages, flower stands, embroidery threads and other things, and collected them at the end of winter and handed them over to Mama Wei, Mama Wei smiled happily, she had long wanted Li Xiaonuan to follow her to learn needlework.
In the afternoon, Li Xiaonuan woke up, and as soon as she washed and combed up, Mama Wei came in with a smile on her face, and said with a smile:
"If it hadn't been the other day...... Alas, the girl should have decided to learn needlework a long time ago! Those books, words, the girl's family recognizes a few words, it's always needlework, cooking, these are the things that the girl's family is around, and when she gets married in the future, these are all to be handled by yourself! ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at the nagging Mama Wei helplessly, and frowned in distress, she hated housework, needlework, and the kitchen!
At the end of winter, he pursed his lips and smiled, and neatly removed the chrysanthemums placed in front of the window, so as to make the couch brighter.
Mama Wei stared at Li Xiaonuan, starting with the bandage, and patiently instructed the clumsy Li Xiaonuan to learn to sew straight lines first.
Li Xiaonuan lowered her head, did needlework for a while, looked up at Mama Wei and asked:
"Mama went to see Madame this morning, did Madame say anything?"
"Madame said, let me concentrate on teaching the three girls to learn needlework in the future, go to the yard of the eldest or second lady in the morning, watch them do needlework, and wait for the girls to finish school in the afternoon, and then come back to watch the girls do needlework."
Mama Wei said carefully, Li Xiaonuan listened carefully, nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice:
"Mama, the ancestor said that the eldest lady and the second lady should go to get the first prize of the beggar meeting in a few years."
Mama Wei was stunned, shook her head and laughed, turned to look at the end of winter, hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice:
"This begging meeting in Shangli Town, the girls of the entire Liangzhejiang Road are going to send embroidery over, this is not easy! ...... year"
Mama Wei put down the flower bandage in her hand and showed a proud smile,
"Back then, the Lian family would pick a few embroideries and send them to this Shangli Town every time, but they didn't compare with other girls."
"Mama's words are strange, send embroidery over, and don't compare with other girls, why is that? I don't understand! ”
Sitting on the edge of the couch at the end of winter, she said curiously, Mama Wei glanced at the end of winter, and said with a proud face:
"Even the girls in the family are all compared to needlework by themselves!"
At the end of winter, she was stunned and was about to speak, Li Xiaonuan tilted her head to look at her, and explained patiently with a smile:
"At the end of winter, my sister didn't know, earlier, the needlework of the family was second to none in the Liangzhejiang Road, when the palace bought embroidery, it was also pointed out that the things that came out of the embroidery workshop of the family, the rules of the family, the girls were going to start learning needlework from walking, and the girls of the general family, this needlework was only afraid that it could not be compared with the girls of the family!"
At the end of winter, he raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands gently, and suddenly said:
"It turns out that Mama is talking about the Lian family, which is known as the splendid everywhere, and it turns out that the girl's mother is the girl of the Lian family! No wonder Mama's needlework is so good! That's it, Lianjia's needlework, and there is no one who can compare with the two Zhejiang roads. ”
Mama Wei had a proud smile on her face,
"That's it, the girl of the Lian family can't use this head to raise her value anymore!"
Li Xiaonuan was stunned, turned her head to look at Mama Wei and asked strangely:
"Can this top spot be worth up? What is the value of the carry? ”
"I know this!"
The end of the winter rushed to say:
"Every begging meeting, I don't know how many people look at the needlework to pick a daughter-in-law, and get this first prize, but there are thousands of women in a family who beg, how many times have I heard my mother say when I was a child, which year which girl came out on top, how many good people ask for relatives, and how can you marry well!"
Li Xiaonuan's eyes flashed with a bright light, he bit his lip and picked up the small flower shed in his hand, carefully looked at the silk threads wrapped around the plain white silk material, sighed, turned his head to look at the end of winter and said:
"Let's not talk about those old things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains, sister, look at this, how can I go to that beggar meeting to win the championship in a few years?!"
The end of winter smiled and came over and looked carefully,
"It's okay, when I first picked up the needle, it was better than this!"
Mama Wei took the flower bandage, looked carefully at the direction of the line in the light, and shook her head with a smile.
"The girl didn't pay attention to Mama's words just now, this line is a mess!"
Li Xiaonuan smiled cheekily, rubbed her side against Mama Wei, and said carelessly:
"Mama say it again, I didn't understand how you can use a needle to walk the thread just now."
At the end of winter, he laughed out loud and sighed:
"The love mama just now talked carefully for a long time, but the girl didn't listen to a word!"
Li Xiaonuan glared at her, and said with a trick:
"I didn't understand, I didn't understand! I'm stupid, and I'm stupid, what's the solution?! ”
At the end of winter, she looked at Li Xiaonuan with wide eyes, was stunned for a moment, and fell on the couch with a smile, Li Xiaonuan glanced at her, turned around and held Mama Wei's sleeve, and her voice was soft and coquettish,
"Mama will teach again, this time Xiao Nuan must be attentive, Xiao Nuan is half of the family, you have to learn needlework hard, and get a head start for Mama!"
Mama Wei put down the flower bandage, picked up Li Xiaonuan, stroked her gently, and said lovingly:
"Teach it a few times! No matter how many times I teach Mama, I don't get bored, the girl is so smart, as long as the girl is willing to learn, how can there be a bad learner?! ”
"The girl is the best at playing tricks with Mama, just here Mama, most like a child!"
At the end of winter, he smiled and quipped, Li Xiaonuan nested in Mama Wei's arms, only smiled and didn't speak, it turned out that the head of the beggar club still has such benefits, marrying someone is a big deal, it should be regarded as the university entrance examination that year, there is a good master like Mama Wei, and after a few years of hard work, when the time comes, I will come back with a first prize, at least I don't have to worry about no one coming to the door to propose......
Li Xiaonuan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line.
Li Xiaonuan's days began to get busy, getting up early every day to go to school, having lunch, taking a nap, getting up to write for half an hour, and then following Mama Wei to learn needlework for an hour, and it was already late.
Gu Xiao came over almost every day, and Li Xiaonuan did window classes together, pointing out Li Xiaonuan's calligraphy with great enthusiasm, Li Xiaonuan was very attentive, but it seemed as if he was inadvertently leading him to endorse and speak, gradually, Li Xiaonuan simply memorized with him, for the two people to endorse, Gu Xiao was extremely interested, and tried his best to be faster than Li Xiaonuan every day, in order to show his age and intelligence.
