Volume 1, Chapter 53: Embroidered Girl

Yueyao studied hard and worked hard. Yuehuan also began to study hard. And Yue Bing is also devoted to the dire study.

It's just that Yue Bing is forced, unlike Yue Huan and Yue Yao, who are voluntary. In order to make Yue Bing correct his temperament, Mo asked the old lady to open a small stove for Yue Bing and continue to teach Yue Bing at night. Of course, these are at an additional cost.

Yue Bing was tossed by Mama Wang for a night. It was almost midnight when Mama Wang finally said, "Second girl, you have to practice hard in the future." "Daughters are too pampered, and it is harm, not love, for them. The second girl may not have the qualifications and talents of the third girl, but as long as she is taught well, she will be a good housewife. Because she not only has a good foundation, but also has a good life.

The old lady heard that Yueyao didn't write willow characters or practice plum blossom fonts, but practiced "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast" and said to herself: "What is this girl going to do?" "Give up the willow font, it can be said that you have learned it well. But she has just learned the plum blossom calligraphy, and no matter how talented she is, it is impossible to learn it in such a short period of time, not to mention that the plum blossom font is bitter and difficult to learn. But this girl is now practicing another font, and the old lady can't feel Yueyao's pulse at once.

Although Zheng's mother can't read and write, she also knows a truth, she can't chew it badly: "Old lady, shouldn't you remind the third girl!" "A hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, when the time comes, you will learn half a bucket of water, and it will be ugly.

The old lady shook her head and said: "Yueyao is not a child who has no sense of proportion@δΈ€@本@read-novelxstxt, she must have her own plans to do this, let her go!" "The girl doesn't have to take the imperial examination, there is no need to force her to learn which font, just be happy.

The old lady was actually very worried, according to Mama Wang's words, the old lady felt that Yueyao had a tendency to separate from the Lian family. The old lady sometimes even wonders what the second daughter-in-law Tuomeng said to Yueyao to make this child change so much, and the change is so big that she begins to feel uneasy. cough, she has to worry about the child's heart, the child has a heart and eyes and worries, and the old man has an inexhaustible heart for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

Yueyao returned to Lanxi Courtyard and began to teach Brother Zheng to learn calligraphy. All the way up to dinner. After dinner, Yueyao asked Hua Bud to search for the flap. The so-called placket step is to wear jade ornaments with thread, and often wear them on the waist in combination. When walking, if you don't make a sound when you walk, it proves that you have learned the rules and are ready to become a teacher.

Hua Bud found the account book and found that there was no jade step on it as Yue Yao said, and whispered: "Xu is lost." "It's normal to lose one or two small pendants for so long.

Yueyao's face was not good, and that thing was also something she remembered on a whim today, but she didn't expect to lose it. It doesn't matter if you lose something, I'm afraid that you won't know if you lose many things.

Hua Bud guessed what Yue Yao thought: "Girl, don't worry, when I sorted out the warehouse before, I registered all the things in the warehouse, and I won't lose anything anymore." ”

Yue Yao didn't say anything more: "I'll practice calligraphy again." Yueyao didn't practice plum blossom calligraphy for long, and was coaxed to bed by Deng's mother after only half an hour.

Mother Deng saw that Yueyao was busy during the day and busy at night, and she was so busy that she was dizzy, and the girl was pampered in the palm of her hand before, and everything was arranged by the old lady. Now the girl is studying hard, and according to Mother Deng's thoughts, Yueyao is evading.

Mo was surprised why Yueyao suddenly changed a font: "That maid willow font is well written, and she started to practice plum blossom font again, why did she change the font again?" ”

Bise said she didn't know: "The slave thinks there may be other reasons. "Mr. Yun can't figure it out, and neither can anyone else.

Aunt Su was a little shocked when she heard this: "The third girl not only practiced willow and plum style, but now she also has to practice a font, what do the three girls think." "Aunt Su doesn't think that Yueyao is a whim, for Aunt Su, the current Yueyao is a very elusive person. Most of the changes frightened her, and she didn't know if Madame knew the consequences of such changes.

Aunt Su hesitated whether she should remind her husband or not. But in the end, Tinglun, who looked at the sleeping sound, still put this mind down. In case the old lady knew that she provoked the relationship between the lady and the third girl, she would not have the fruit to eat, endure, endure. Madame is enduring, she needs people more.

The next day, just after dawn, Yueyao got up. Yueyao's clothes in the cupboard are all plain now, at most a few small flowers with a little color on the clothes.

Yue Yao watched Yue Bing walk much better than yesterday, and then looked at Yue Huan's walking. , I understood what was going on right away, but she didn't pay attention to it. Mama Wang is just a guide. This kind of thing must be accumulated over time, and it must be integrated into daily life to truly pass; Otherwise, it's generally okay. However, under normal circumstances, it is enough to get by in general, and it is not to enter the palace or marry into the royal family, and no one will be harsh on the general situation.

Mama Wang nodded: "Well, the children can be taught." "I won't say that Yuebing is her opening a small stove, but Yuehuan is really worthy of praise, and it can be seen that she has made such a big progress in one night.

Mama Wang is very satisfied with Yuehuan's attitude, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, the most important thing is to be willing to learn and learn seriously. Mama Wang nodded secretly, even the girls in the family are all good.

Yueying is under pressure now.

Mama Wang didn't say anything else: "Yesterday you learned calligraphy with Mr., I won't talk about how to practice the characters well." However, the posture of writing is also a university question, how many words can you write for me now? Today, Mama Wang corrected them on how to hold a pen and write.

Yuehuan muttered in her heart that she would have to teach her to write with a pen, as for it? But when I watched Mama Wang raise her pen and write beautifully, I didn't dare to say anything anymore.

In this class, among the four people, the best one to learn was Yue Bing, followed by Yue Ying, and the worst one was Yue Yao.

Mama Wang shook her head and said, "Third girl, it's not wrong that you hold the pen in this posture, but without the softness of a woman, the sun is just now." The girl's house should hold a pen like this......" Mama Wang gave Yueyao a demonstration.

Yueyao taught her to write hand-in-hand with Lian Dongbo, and naturally she didn't have the soft feeling of Mama Wang's writing. Yueyao also knew her own shortcomings, but she said to Mama Wang sincerely: "Mama, I can't change this. "First, this has been a habit for 30 years, and it is very difficult to change it now; Second, Yueyao didn't want to change, not only did she learn from her father that day, but more importantly, Yueyao didn't think it was necessary.

When she shows her writing in front of people, she is very small, and even if she does, her posture is not ugly, but she lacks a woman's softness. If it takes so much effort to correct this habit, Yueyao doesn't think it's worth it.

Mama Wang was stunned: "You haven't changed it, how do you know that you can't change it?" "It's the first time she's been in such a situation when she's taught so many girls.

Yue Yao still shook her head: "I will definitely change it if I can change it, but I know that if I can't change it, I have to waste time and energy to do it, which is stupid." Mama, I really can't change it, I don't want to lie to you. "Instead of talking about it later, it's better to make it clear to Mama now.

Mama Wang looked at the firmness in Yueyao's eyes, and only nodded. What can the student do if he doesn't cooperate, so he can only compromise: "Okay, in fact, your current writing posture is actually not bad, but pay attention to the details." "Details often reveal a lot of things, so details should never be overlooked.

Yue Yao said gratefully: "Mama Xie." ”

Yuehuan was a little surprised by Yueyao's behavior. The arrogant and domineering second girl in the past was honest in front of Mama Wang, why did the third girl who looked at Wen Wen and Jing so different dared to refuse Mama Wang's guidance in court.

Yuehuan came back to her senses under Mama Wang's scolding, and continued to pose with a bitter melon face and began to write, coughing, sad society. If only she could be as good as the third girl.

I spent the morning practicing my writing posture. In the afternoon, the four girls followed Mr. Ma to learn embroidery.

Mother Deng was a little flustered, others didn't know if she could know, her own girl hadn't even touched the needle: "Girl, or don't go." Anyway, the girl will not need to do needlework in the future. "Madame was going to let her girl learn embroidery. But the old man said that the time to learn painting is not enough, where is there time to learn embroidery, and the family is not without embroidery, this matter is finally over. Now I am learning embroidery with a few girls in the big house, and the girls will not be at the bottom by then.

Yue Yao smiled slightly: "Mom, I have to learn to be a good girl." Not to mention the rest, at least the clothes and purses in your own have to be embroidered by yourself. "It's a shame to not even embroider a purse. There is another sentence that Yueyao didn't say, it's one thing not to do it yourself, it's another thing to not do it yourself, no one will say anything if you can't do it, and if you don't do it, then there will be discussions.

Ma Xiuniang had already been reminded by her mother to take care of the second and third girls, because the two girls were concubines and had never touched the needle and thread before.

As soon as the hemp embroidery girl came, she didn't tell the girls how to embroider. But first said the history of embroidery: "Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery and Shu embroidery are called the 'four famous embroidery', in addition to Beijing embroidery, Lu embroidery, Bian embroidery and many other kinds. What I teach you is Suzhou embroidery, Suzhou embroidery in the embroidery skills of most of the needle-based, embroidery thread socket does not show stitches, commonly used three or four different similar color threads or adjacent colors matching, set embroidery out of the color effect of blending freely. At the same time, when expressing the image of the object, it is good to leave the "waterway", that is, in the change of the depth of the object, leave a line empty, so that the layers are clear, and the pattern outline is neat. ”

After the embroidery lady finished speaking, she took out an embroidery that had been embroidered a long time ago, explained the characteristics of Su embroidery to the four girls, and then told a few girls how to match different color threads in order to embroider the effect they wanted.

Yueyao listened with relish, but she didn't expect that this Mr. Ma explaining embroidery was like explaining a beautiful work of art, which was really rare.

After Ma Xiuniang spoke again, she asked the four people: "Do you understand?" If she understood, she continued. If you don't understand, I'll explain it again.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yue Yao said on her own: "Mr. Ma, I understand." "In fact, the essence of color matching is the same as that of painting, and it is the color that you want to call out the difference, but everything is inseparable from its origin, and it is inseparable from the essence.

Ma Xiuniang asked the three of Yueying, and none of the three of them were embarrassed to say that they knew nothing, and saying it didn't mean that they thought they were stupid.

Moon Ring was interested, but he was also worried. She has never even touched a simple cross-stitch in modern times, and she can learn how to horse such a complex Suzhou embroidery? So for Yueyao to say that she understands, Yuehuan said that she was very resentful, sister, you understand, I don't understand!

Ma embroidery Niang saw that everyone did not object to continue to say, she just now is mainly to deepen the influence of everyone on Su embroidery, whether you can understand or not is not a big problem, the focus is still on the embroidery kung fu: "Su embroidery has its own unique style, Suzhou embroidery pattern beautiful, ingenious conception, meticulous embroidery, lively stitching, elegant color, embroidery skills are "flat, Qi, and, light, smooth, even" characteristics. After a pause, he said, "Do you know what is "flat, qi, harmonious, light, smooth, and even"? ”

If I knew, I still need you to say it.

Seeing that the three girls were silent, Yueyao replied: "'Ping' means that the embroidery surface is flat; "Qi" means that the edges of the pattern are neat; "Fine" refers to the delicate use of needles and fine embroidery threads; "Dense" means that the lines are arranged compactly and do not show stitches; "And" means that the color is appropriate; "Light" means dazzling and bright color; "Shun" refers to the smooth rotation of the silk circle; "Even" means that the lines are fine and even, and the density is consistent. Sir, am I right? ”

Ma Xiuniang was a little surprised: "The third girl has learned Su embroidery? "If you haven't learned how to understand Su embroidery.

Yue Yao smiled lightly: "When I was in Jiangnan, I studied for a few days, and I was also interested in Su embroidery, and I knew a little, but all I knew was fur." ”

Ma Xiuniang nodded slightly, she was a modest child: "What the third girl said is right." In addition, Suzhou embroidery has a complete range of embroidery: according to the variety, there are double-sided embroidery and single-sided embroidery. The commonly used stitching methods of Suzhou embroidery are: Qi needle, loose set, needle, virtual and real needle, chaotic needle, dotting, poking yarn, needle, needle, needle, needle, button, set set, robbery, anti-robbery, etc.......

Yueying and the three of them listened to it in a fog, but Yueyao listened to it with relish.

Ma Xiuniang smiled and said, "These will be taught to you the same in the future." "Tell them what they want to learn first, and teach them slowly and the same way, which is her teaching style.

After Yueyao waited for the embroidery lady to finish speaking, she asked, "Sir, some people with superb embroidery skills can embroider the scenery on the painting, and the embroidery is exactly the same." Sir has seen horses? "Yueyao had heard before that some embroiderers embroidered those famous paintings into embroidery, and the embroidery was the same as the real thing, so when she heard that, she moved the scenery on the painting to the embroidery.

Ma Xiuniang smiled: "It's true." Jiangnan has been engaged in embroidery for more than 30 years, she can paint and copy into embroidery, embroidered embroidery landscape can distinguish the interest of far and near; The pavilion embodies a deep body; The characters can have vivid feelings; Flowers and birds can reciprocate the state of intimacy. "Of course, the things embroidered by this embroidery girl have become masterpieces, let alone bought, you can't look at it, because it has been collected.

Yue Yao nodded frequently when she heard this. Yue Bing looked at her beside her, she knew that Yue Yao had never done needlework, but now she looked as if she knew it very well.
