Chapter 22: Embroidery

The wind was strong at night, and the branches and leaves in the courtyard were trembling.

Jin Yi tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't sleep steadily. Qiao Wei listened outside the house, and put on a dress and came in to see her.

Jinyi was wrapped in an epiphany woven gold brocade quilt, and a green silk hung down on the pillow. Seeing her coming, he said, "You didn't sleep all night last night." So saying, he motioned for her to come up, and covered her with half of the brocade quilt.

The two of them curled up under the quilt and listened to the wind outside.

"Remember that winter? Let's find out all the quilts and clothes and cover them, but our hands and feet are still stiff from the cold......" Jin Yi fell into a deep memory and whispered.

"Later, I was still squeezed under the quilt with the young lady, which was a little warm, and I finally survived the night." Qiao Wei replied with a chuckle.

Shang Xiutang's days are hard, and the quota for each person in winter is not much. That winter was somehow extremely cold, and the two thin girls could only rely on each other's meager body temperature to warm each other.

Under Uncle Cheng's guidance, although the two of them were not beaten and scolded in Shangxiutang, their lives were still very difficult. Jin Yi has never mentioned these things to Uncle Cheng, and in those years, Uncle Cheng has been running around for her, asking for news, which is also difficult, what is it to suffer this little bit.

"Miss, Xiaolou Gongzi, he ......" Qiao Wei said hesitantly.

Jin Yi shook her head and motioned for her not to speak.

Qiao Wei was a little helpless, so she had to stretch out her hand, gently rub her head, and whispered: "Miss, you can sleep quickly, I didn't sleep much last night, and I will start embroidering Buddha pictures tomorrow......"

Qiaowei's fingers are slender and dexterous, and the strength is just right. Sure enough, after a while, Jin Yi's breathing gradually calmed down, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The body began to stiffen again, Jin Yi was startled in a deep dream, her heart seemed to be still clear, knowing that she was dreaming again, but she was still wondering, didn't fifteen just pass......

seems to feel that he is not in the original house, and Qiaowei next to him is nowhere to be found. A figure approached her, and she wanted to turn her head to look, but she couldn't move her neck...... A **-year-old boy was standing beside his bed, staring at himself with dark eyes. After a while, he opened his mouth and said something.

…… Nothing could be heard, there was silence all around, there was no sound, only the boy's mouth opened and closed, as if he were talking. After a long time, the boy saw that she didn't react at all, and the expression on his face was a little deflated. He held a round object in his hand and tucked it into his palm......

Jin Yiyi woke up suddenly, opened his eyes wide, looked at the dust on the top of the tent, and after a while, laughed silently. That was the first time she met Xiao Lou. Later, the master cured her of her illness, and the first feeling in her body after she got better was the roundness of the palm of her hand......

In the early morning of the next day, Jin Ru came over as usual to have breakfast together, and the little maids in Fu Jin Xuan were all excited, and they all saw yesterday's preparations, and they were curious, waiting to see the second lady embroidering Buddha today.

Who knew that Jin closed the door according to the order, and all the subordinates were not allowed to enter the main hall today, and they only reported something outside the door. Only Jinyi and Jinru were left in the house, each with their two maids - Qiaowei, Caijing, Rouge, and Pink Apricot.

Jin Ru was a little puzzled, Jin Yi only smiled and didn't speak. Qiao Wei, who was still on the side, explained: "Our embroidery method looks a little scary, so it's better not to let too many people see it." ”

Jin Yi is explaining the silk thread marking on the embroidery drawing to Cai Jing. Cai Jing was originally a first-class maid in Mrs. Qin's room, and she thought that the young lady would be able to help her embroider the Buddha picture, but after reading the dense annotations on the embroidery picture yesterday afternoon, she was already frightened. Jin Yi lent her the book last night, saying that she would be in charge of handing over the line today.

For a while, Jin Yi and Qiao Wei sat in front of the embroidery frame that had been stretched, Jin Yi embroidered the upper left corner, Qiao Wei embroidered the lower right corner, and the two sat on both sides.

On these two corners of the embroidery map, Jinyi has drawn some outlines yesterday, and Cai Jing is handing the lines according to the marks on the book.

Jin Yi sat in front of the frame, contemplated slightly for a moment, and began to embroider with the needle.

Jinru and the others were stunned on the side, only to see that her hands were like shuttles, flying up and down, and the needles were up and down, which was several times faster than ordinary people.

Jinru finally understood why Jinyi embroidered a Buddha picture to clear the field, this kind of posture is really like a demon.

Qiao Wei began to embroider in the lower right corner, and the speed was no worse than that of Jinyi. Her hands were unusually nimble, and the needles were turning over her fingertips, barely making out the shape.

Jinru originally wanted to help embroider some, but after seeing this scene, he never mentioned it again. Only with Routao and Pink Apricot to help manage the thread.

The shock in Caijing's heart is incomparable. She is a needle maid, and her needlework skills in the house can be regarded as one of the best, but where have she ever seen such embroidery.

Qi needle, set needle, flat gold, poke yarn, stitch method is endless. Gradually, a small piece of outline on the embroidery cloth has been faintly formed, the stitches are fine and neat, and the stitch marks are not exposed at all.

Cai Jing kept handing the thread and changing the needle in her hand, and she was already a little in a hurry. Jin Yi and Qiao Wei looked calm and quiet, so focused on moving the needle like flying, for a while, several people in the room felt that there was a faint light on the faces of the two of them, and they looked solemn and solemn.

Jin Ru looked at Jin Yi fixedly, but a sour feeling suddenly surged in her heart. Can have such dazzling embroidery, who knows the hard work behind it? Jinru seemed to see the thin and small Jinyi, sitting in the cold and damp Shangxiu Hall, stabbing with a needle with difficulty......

After embroidering the scene for about an hour, the two stopped to rest for a while.

took a sip of the teacup handed by Caijing, Jin Yi smiled lightly and looked at the inexplicable expression of adoration on her face, and felt a little funny, and asked Jin Ru, "How is it?" ”

Jinru nodded, shook her head hurriedly, and said with a sigh: "I really don't know what to say." From now on, I'm afraid I'll never take a needle again. After seeing your embroidery today, I realized that I had embroidered those before, and it was just a joke. ”

"You are the name of Shang Xiutang, is it really a false appearance?" Jin Yi smiled noncommittally, "In fact, most of the embroidery girls in the embroidery mansion also have such embroidery skills." It's just that the woman's body is delicate after all, and her strength can't last, so it's too hard to embroider like this. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Qiao Wei and said, "You can rest later, go to the greenhouse and see those flowers." I've been so busy these days that I don't have time to take care of them. ”

Qiao Wei hummed and didn't shirk. Her physique is not as good as Jinyi, and she is not as flexible and endurance as she has practiced martial arts over the years.

Jinru heard that she was going to go, she was detained in the room, and she couldn't help, she was a little depressed, "There is also a greenhouse in my house, but a few pots of camellia are listless, let Qiaowei help me take a look in two days." ”

In recent years, the cultivation of camellia has been very popular in Jianye City, and the ladies and ladies of various provinces have built greenhouses in the house and invited florists to take care of them.

Qiao Wei answered, and looked at Jinyi with some expectation, seeing that she just lowered her head and drank tea and didn't answer, she felt a little helpless.
