Volume 1, Chapter 54: Busy
The hemp embroidery lady generally finished talking about the characteristics and history of Suzhou embroidery, and then began to teach acupuncture, teaching and demonstrating to everyone.
This kind of teaching method is very attractive, and it introduces everyone's interest, and everyone naturally becomes interested. Even Yuebing, who doesn't like embroidery, is involved in it and learns it seriously.
After demonstrating for a while, Ma Xiuniang asked a few girls to do it themselves. However, before doing it, Ma Xiuniang said: "Embroidery is the easiest to hurt the eyes, the eyes have not moved for several hours, and it is easy to see things clearly." Therefore, if you embroider in the future, you must remember that you should take a break after embroidering for half an hour, go out to see the scenery outside, or see the fish in the pool or tank. After saying that, he brought a water tank with four goldfish in it.
Yue Yao couldn't help but smile, this hemp embroidery girl is really interesting. She had heard this method talk about it in the nunnery before, when she had been copying scriptures for a long time, her eyes were tired, and she could see things. Mrs. Shi learned about it and taught her this method.
Two hours passed quickly, and Ma Xiuniang commented that Yueying's basic skills were the best, followed by Yueyao, and the worst was Yuehuan. The moon ring is not embroidery, but a mess of threads.
Yuehuan looked at Yueying and several people looked at her, really embarrassed. In the past two days, she has really arrived home.
Yueyao and the others stayed in the house after they left, and she still had some questions she wanted to ask Ma Xiuniang.
Seeing that Yueyao stayed, Ma Xiuniang asked with a smile: "What questions do you have about the three girls of the novel xstxt read the novel "One ~ Ben"? "She has been teaching for so long, and the people who will stay and ask are all concubines. It's already good for my daughter to listen carefully in class.
Yue Yao nodded: "Sir, I know that among the Su embroideries, 'Gu embroidery' is the most famous." Will the gentleman? The Gu embroidery that Yueyao said is a kind of painting embroidery, and the embroidered flowers, figures, feathers, and landscapes have "splitting silk is too thin to hair, and the needle is like a millimeter." The name of this is famous for a while, and it is valued by people. However, Gu embroidery mainly produces appreciation products, and has won the appreciation and praise of literati.
Ma Xiuniang was surprised: "I didn't expect the girl to know so much about Su Xiu?" ”
Yue Yao said with a smile: "I stayed in Jiangnan, and I also learned needlework from an embroidery girl for a few days, so I also know a little bit about Su embroidery." Sir, if you think I have this talent, I hope that Mr. can teach me a thing or two. If I don't have the talent, I don't force it, sir. "Yueyao meant, just asking for good guidance from Mr., not to learn your housekeeping skills.
Generally, housekeeping skills are not passed on, but it is still okay to give a pointer or two. In fact, embroidery is the same as painting, there is no immutable pattern, and many times it depends on talent and the spirit of study.
Ma Xiuniang glanced at Yue Yao, this girl's behavior is really strange: "I can't see if you have this talent for a day or two, when I confirm that you really have this talent, I will teach you." Ma Xiuniang means that she will take care of embroidery, but whether she can teach it depends not only on talent, but also on whether the two have a master-apprentice relationship.
That's what Yue Yao wants.
Ma Xiuniang had a good impression of Yue Yao for not continuing to ask about Gu Xiu. Don't get to the bottom of it, know how to stop in moderation, it's good. Ma Xiuniang nodded Yueyao's performance: "In terms of embroidery patterns alone, the girl is better than the big girl's, but the big girl is skilled in needlework, far higher than the girl, if the girl really has the heart to learn, she must work hard." ”
Yueyao just wanted to know more, and as for whether embroidery was worth spending more time studying, she still had to weigh it. Of course, there is no time for this: "I know sir, I have worked hard today." ”
Yueyao returned to Lanxi Courtyard and wrote down what Mr. Ma said today. Of course, it is impossible to write down everything, she just writes down the key points, which is also a way to learn, write down the things she can remember the most, and then look at them when she forgets them.
After two days of study, Yueying is the best in all aspects, and even the old lady praised Yueying. Of course, if the moon ring does not have amnesia, the best embroidery is the moon ring, because Aunt Su has a good embroidery, and the moon ring has learned a seven, seven, eighty, eight or eight before, but unfortunately the amnesia can't remember anything.
Yueying was not complacent because of the old lady's praise, obviously Mama, Mr. and Xi Niang's favorite was Yueyao, not her. Just because she's the best now doesn't mean she'll be the best in the future. So she can't be complacent, she has to work harder.
Yue Bing had to be trained by Mama Wang's devil every night. Mo's means that she hopes that Mama Wang can break all the shortcomings of Yuebing and make Yuebing a real lady.
Yue Bing didn't want to learn, but her mother's attitude was tough, and she told her to be unwilling. If she doesn't learn well, Mama Wang's old witch will double the punishment, and the means of punishment make Yue Bing afraid when she thinks about it, so that she doesn't dare to slack off.
Mama Wang's punishment method is very simple, that is, to let Yuebing stand all the time, not even to go to the toilet to drink water, and after a few times, Yuebing will be so well-behaved that she can't be more obedient.
Yuehuan was stimulated by such a pass, and he also studied hard. In the morning, she got up before dawn to practice calligraphy, she must throw away the dog crawling words, and strive to write a word that can be seen as soon as possible. I don't waste lunch or night, and I use all the time I can to study. This momentum for learning made Aunt Su happy and worried, worried that she would burn her body.
I wrote too much, and my hands were blistered with blood. Aunt Su looked teary-eyed, but she didn't say anything to tell Yuehuan not to study. Instead, he picked a blood blister for the moon ring every night and put medicine on it.
The three girls in the big house all studied hard, Yueying tried to stay first, Yuebing tried not to be punished by Mama Wang, and Yuehuan fought not to be embarrassed.
Therefore, even the learning atmosphere in the house is unprecedentedly high, so that several gentlemen are secretly surprised, this is the hardest working and most motivated girls they teach.
The old lady listened to Mr. Mama and said that the four girls were teachable, and the wrinkles on their faces were happy, the only pity was that Yueyao didn't learn piano, chess, and painting.
Mr. Qi and Mr. Yun glanced at each other when they heard this. In fact, the three girls didn't go to study well, if the three girls went, it would not be a stimulus, but a blow.
Yueyao is also not idle at all, except for studying with Mr. Mama, the rest of the time is also full, Yueyao has more things to do than Yuehuan. At least Yuehuan just learned it by herself, and Yueyao not only had to learn it by herself, but also taught Tingzheng.
Ma Xiuniang criticized Yue Yao. Among the three, Yue Yao is the slowest to progress. In the past half a month, Ma Xiuniang can also see that although the second girl and the fourth girl have made rapid progress, but to say that the talent is still the third girl's most talented. The third girl has learned Suzhou embroidery before, and she has skills, and the third girl is very good at color matching. It's a pity that the three girls don't seem to care.
Yueyao is very helpless, she really doesn't have time! As soon as I opened my eyes, I was busy, and I didn't stop until I went to bed, where did I have time to learn embroidery. Not to mention embroidery, even the rules taught by Mama Wang, Yueyao also pays special attention to her daily life, and has no time to practice.
Yue Yao couldn't help but say, "Why is there no news from my uncle!" When is the sir coming. What Yueyao didn't know was that a pie smashed into the Ma family, which also indirectly benefited her.
