Chapter 116 Mandarin ducks are seen as water ducks
Although Xu Yunhua doesn't often touch these female red needles and threads on weekdays, Qing'er, Amber and Midsummer in the room are all skillful, and they always like to embroider two small patterns and play two Yingluo or something when they are fine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, silk threads, embroidery bandages, and fabrics are all ready-made.
Xu Yunhua said, and Amber immediately took out the sewing basket from the house.
Placing the sewing basket flat on her lap, Xu Yunhua lowered her head and picked and chose for a while, but she didn't find a satisfactory one for a long time.
"The appearance of the fabric is too plain, and the color of the silk thread is too dark, and it definitely doesn't look good together."
Xu Yunhua threw the sewing basket on the table, her face full of melancholy.
It is difficult to get rid of the 'smart woman' for the appearance of cooking without rice.
Midsummer moved the basket in front of him and picked out a piece of red brocade from it, "Girl, this piece is very good, it's no problem to make a purse, and the sachet can also be." ”
Xu Yunhua took it, weighed it back and forth in her hand, and finally spit out three words, "I don't like it." ”
"Why don't you go out and buy some?" Midsummer offers.
Good idea.
Xu Yunhua's eyes lit up, "If only I could go out for a trip, go to the embroidery village to have a look, in addition to silk threads and fabrics, I also have to buy some beads for Yingluo, spices and incense powder for sachets." ”
Qing'er was holding the embroidery bandage, and when she heard her master say this, she couldn't help but remind, "Girl, now at home is not as good as in Dingzhou, Mrs. is not so good at talking, she will definitely not allow you to go out, besides, the people of the Gao family are about to come to propose, you are also a daughter to be married, it is better to go out less." ”
This is not without reason.
Qing'er saw that her master's little face was about to collapse again, so she immediately added, "Otherwise, the maid will go and tell the mother-in-law in charge of purchasing in the backyard that the left and right are about adding some silver, and buy everything you want back at one time, how about it?" ”
Xu Yunhua nodded, "Okay, add some silver, let her buy some better." ”
That's all there is to do for now.
Just do it, Xu Yunhua listed the things she needed one by one on the list, Qing'er went to the house to get a few dimes of silver, and went to the backyard in person.
Two days later, the mother-in-law who bought it really sent the things listed on the list to the small cross courtyard.
I don't know if it's because I took kickbacks behind someone's back in private, but the mother-in-law was extremely polite to Xu Yunhua, which was not available before.
Looking at the things sent, there are many patterns of fabric, the color of the silk thread is bright and colorful, the beads used for beating the Yingluo are delicate and translucent, and there are spices, and you can smell the fragrance through the baggage.
This time, Xu Yunhua was satisfied, and immediately started the fight.
Start.
Xu Yunhua understands her own skills, so she didn't choose to eat a big fat man in one bite, but step by step, starting with the simplest embroidered handkerchief.
She chose a single pattern and embroidered it on the corner of the handkerchief first, so that she practiced slowly, and then embroidered other difficult ones after a long time.
The next day, after dinner, Cai Ying came to Xu Yunhua to sit here, and as soon as she walked into the yard, she saw her holding an embroidery bandage, and the embroidery needle in her hand flew up and down.
"At this time, the light is not good, isn't the big girl afraid of hurting her eyes?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Yunhua raised her head, saw that it was Caiying, put down the embroidery bandage with a busy smile, and stood up, "I'm a stupid bird who flies first, since the embroidery is not good, then practice more." ”
As she spoke, she rubbed her neck, bowed her head for a long time, and already felt sour.
Cai Ying walked closer, took the embroidered bandage, and put it in his hand to look at it.
Xu Yunhua knew that she was an expert, so she asked, "How do you see my embroidery?" ”
Xu Yunhua knew in her heart that her strength was limited, and she didn't expect to get any praise, but if she could hear Caiying say 'good', she would be content.
Outcome.
"Well, that's good." Cai Ying nodded first.
Yo, 'good', Xu Yunhua's eyes immediately lit up, complacent.
It's a pity that the joy only lasted for two seconds, and then I heard the second half of Caiying's words, "Big girl, your embroidered water duck is really good, vivid." ”
Water duck !!
When Xu Yunhua heard this, she almost rolled her eyes and fainted, how could a good mandarin duck become a water duck.
Is it really that much worse?
Sheng Xia, who was standing and serving beside her, knew what the master was embroidering, and after hearing Caiying's comment, she couldn't help laughing.
"Miss Caiying, our girl embroiders mandarin ducks."
"Huh?" Cai Ying was a little confused, her expression was obviously incredulous, so she had to lower her head and look again.
Xu Yunhua squirmed and confirmed, "That... What, indeed, is a mandarin duck. ”
Well, the mutant variety of mandarin ducks.
"Mandarin duck... Mandarin ducks? Cai Ying was a little embarrassed, and she was at a loss for a while holding the embroidered bandage.
Seeing this, Xu Yunhua snatched the embroidery bandage, and smiled, "Oh, it's okay, I didn't embroider well, it's normal for you to admit your mistakes, forget it, I won't embroider." ”
Cai Ying showed an apologetic look on her face, and after thinking about it, she said, "Big girl, otherwise, Da Ming'er will teach you how to embroider, and the maid still has some specialties in this regard." ”
Xu Yunhua looked at Caiying's stomach and hesitated, "This... Forget it, you have a body, how tired you are. ”
Cai Ying disagreed, "It's okay, anyway, you're not in a hurry, let's embroider slowly, like playing, and the right to pass the time." ”
That's not bad.
Xu Yunhua nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, you teach me embroidery, and I'll make delicious soup and snacks for you." ”
Deal.
On the afternoon of the second day, Caiying really came as promised, and after washing her hands, she explained some tips for Xu Yunhua about female red needlework.
Xu Yunhua also fulfilled her promise and brought out the dim sum made at noon for Caiying to taste.
Cai Ying was already hungry when she was pregnant, and the snacks made by Xu Yunhua were delicate and delicious, so she was even more appetizing, so she didn't push it, and took one and put it in her mouth.
"Well, it's delicious."
"Eat more if it's delicious."
For three days in a row, Xu Yunhua changed the pattern to make snacks for Caiying, and Caiying also tried her best to teach Xu Yunhua needlework skills.
The teachers are good, the students are also diligent, and finally, this mandarin duck is no longer like a duck.
On the fourth day, Xu Yunhua was preparing the fillings in the kitchen and preparing to make some jujube paste and yam cake, but she never thought that when the dim sum was about to come out of the pot, news came that Cai Ying would not be able to come today.
Xu Yunhua asked carefully and found out that before lunch today, Caiying began to have a stomachache, and vomited everything she ate after lunch.
Hearing this, Xu Yunhua was a little flustered, and hurriedly took Qing'er to find out. (To be continued.) )
