Yun'er opened a few more boxes, which is a new content to be taught today: cross-stitch. Cross-stitch is small and simple, and of course the price is different. In general, the price is much higher than other materials, because it is matching, embroidery cloth, flower support, embroidery thread, drawings, are all packed in a plastic bag. Shui'er asked Yun'er: "Master, will the slave and maid call Sister Yu'er?"

Shui'er cares about the fish very much and relies on it, and the two little sisters get along like sisters, who gets what benefits, the first thing that comes to mind is whether the other party gets it.

"Okay, let's talk more about this skill, you go and call her."

When the fish came.

"I heard that I learned a new skill, but I forgot about it?" Yun'er teased Yu'er.

"It's not that I'm sick, I'm slowly hurting, but I can't leave a slave behind when I learn skills."

"The embroidery method of cross-stitch is simple and simple to say, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult, but it is a style of embroidery. For example, Suzhou embroidery has several basic embroidery methods: straight embroidery, disc needle, and set needle. Straight embroidery is divided into different embroidery methods of straight needles and wrapping needles. Cross stitch is completely different from the traditional embroidery method, including full needle embroidery, half needle embroidery, quarter embroidery, three-quarter embroidery, back needle embroidery, knot embroidery, flat petal needle embroidery, etc. The embroidered cloth issued to the two has a lot of mesh on it, and four meshes are counted as a group. First put on from the first mesh, then from the second mesh, then from the third mesh, then from the fourth mesh, then the fifth mesh, then the second mesh, the third mesh, the sixth mesh, and so on, the whole lattice is embroidered. Every fourth mesh is a crossed stitch. Practice for the two of you, don't be in a hurry. This is a new embroidery method, although simple, but there is a rule to talk about. ”

Taking advantage of the time when the fish and water were practicing, Yun'er hurried home to deliver milk to the child. Baby Babe has grown up a lot more than when she came back from a foreign land, not only can she crawl "poo" fast, but she can also stand up by herself against the wall. Sister Babe was brave, standing up and leaning against the wall and taking a tentative step. My mother-in-law, Mr. Tian Da, found the circle car where he practiced walking, put their siblings in the car, and they could walk in front and back of the car, left and right, and if they couldn't walk steadily, they would sit in the middle seat very accurately. No falling, no running away. is moving on the floor leather, the two Jingqi grandmothers are much more relaxed, and the two little meat lumps can't stand anyone's arms all the time.

When Yun'er came back, Yu'er Shui Er was already familiar with the full needle method. For fish and water who have been doing needlework for more than ten years, this skill is simply like playing.

"Let's talk about another stitch, the half-stitch method, the so-called half-stitch embroidery method is to embroider diagonal lines in the four meshes......"

"Diagonal? Master, can you not be so profound? What is a diagonal? ”

"Do you see these four eyelets? It is to thread the line from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. ”

"Ahem, it's just a diagonal insertion for a long time, I see." The fish immediately understood, how could there be such a simple job? It's about turning a square into two triangles.

"I'm using jargon, and that's what you have to say when you give lectures. It's not pretending to be sophisticated, because the technique is getting more and more complex, and in the vernacular it is very verbose. Half needlework is made up of a diagonal line, several halves of full needlework, which can highlight the layering more. ”

This stitching method was also quickly accepted by the fish and water. Then Yun'er taught them one-quarter embroidery and three-quarter embroidery. The so-called quarter embroidery method is composed of half of the diagonal, and the three-quarter embroidery method is composed of a complete diagonal and half of the diagonal line to form the shape of the "person". These two stitches were also quickly accepted by Yu'er Shui'er.

Then Yun'er told them about the needlework method, that is, the embroidery method of the edge thread, so she stopped teaching them for the time being, and then gave each of them a small set of cross-stitch materials, and a cross-stitch was packed in a plastic film bag. There are embroidery needles, embroidery threads, flower bandages, embroidered cloths, and drawings. Yun'er took out more than a dozen cross-stitch materials, and let them choose their favorite and favorite patterns to embroider the drawings inside. The embroidery thread inside is matching and ready-made, and even the cross checkerboard is ready-made, or it would be a bit confusing to let her choose the embroidery thread and calculate the size of the checkerel by herself at the beginning. This cross-stitch is completely different from traditional embroidery, and it is a bit troublesome.

The needle used in cross-stitch is different from the needle used in the usual sewing, it is a blunt needle, the needle is rounder, the pinhole is larger, and the cross-stitch gingham cloth of different sizes is not the same needle size.

The embroidery cloth used in cross-stitch is selected according to different patterns, including large checkered cloth, medium checkered cloth, and small checkered cloth. Yun'er has already prepared everything for the fish and water. Otherwise, after selecting the checkered cloth, the embroidery thread and embroidery needle should be selected according to the specifications of the cloth.

The complete set of cross-stitch materials selected by Yun'er for Yu'er Shui Er are all basic stitches for beginners. Yu'er was driven home to embroider, and Shui'er learned cross-stitch while serving Yun'er, and asked the teacher at any time if she didn't understand. A new skill must have a familiar process, although the fish and water are not embroidered together, but their excitement is the same, they are all after the performance of chicken blood.

Yun'er pondered her album and studied new painting methods. The room was so quiet that even a pin could be heard.

The Fujin courtyard is also very lively, there is no quota processing task in recent days, and the girls and grandmothers are making patchwork. The cloth horns that Yun'er sent over were sent by Fu Jin to the girls and grandmothers in his own courtyard, Rao is in the palace, and he has never seen so many kinds of cloth horns in the world. It's weird, but it's brand new and refreshing. Each girl and grandmother were given two catties of cloth corners, which was also a big pile. The mustache and bun, as well as the four second-class maids, were matched according to the color, and the dark and light colors were all spread, not to mention who was biased. The sisters used their brains to make patchwork, and did what they wanted. But the ugly words are in the front, if any one is hidden, don't blame Fujin for being polite. The thing is not very valuable, but it was exchanged for the life of the three princes, and it was used to make money for the emperor. When it comes to the height of the prince for the sake of the country, it can't be ambiguous. I hope that everyone can make the most of every piece of fabric, even the scraps left over from the cut can not be thrown away, and they are all placed in cardboard boxes and kept for other purposes in the future.

Fu Jin and Wang Ye have been living a simple life until they got married. But in the scene, it is not lost to any palace, that is to say, Fujin's dress and dress are the most decent.

There are girls in every class in the house, Fujin has Xue'er, Tian Liang has Rui'er, Zheng Mama, Liu Mama, Dong Mama, Jiang Mama, Hong Mama These people either have daughters or granddaughters and granddaughters. Of course, Xue'er is not in the house, and all the other girls are assigned to the cloth corner, a girl has a catty, and she can do whatever she wants, and take it to the house. Rui'er got the horn and screamed loudly with joy. Shui'er didn't have a daughter, but Yun'er gave her sister-in-law a cloth corner to carry around. Even Ling Juan, Jiang Mama, Lin Mama, Wang Mama, Song Mama, Jiang Mama, Hong Mama all got it, and those who had girls in the family got it. Liu Er, Yang Er, and Feng Mama also got it. It's that Minqi Gege is small, and she didn't have her share, but under Mrs. Chen's arguments, she also got it, of course, the right to use it belongs to her grandmother.

A few days later, the fish arrived early and late, and the first small cross-stitch was finished. Nervously showed it to Yun'er, and was praised by Yun'er for being incomplete!

"You two stupid girls are amazing! Hurry up and follow me down! Let's learn today...... No, I have to bring food to my son and daughter first, you two wait. "And then the whirlwind went home, and the whirlwind came back.

"Today I learned the two stitches of the French knot and the flat petal needle. I put a needle up in one position and wear it out ......"

"This is a bit more difficult, you have to wrap the thread around the needle, insert the needle in the second position, hold the end of the embroidery thread with your fingers that are not embroidered, pull the knot tight, and then thread the needle through the fabric and hold the thread until it has to be loosened. If you tie a large knot, you can increase the number of strands of the embroidery thread appropriately, but only wrap it once. ”

Of course, it is easy to understand, but it is rarely embroidered in this way. Some people have used it in Suzhou embroidery, but the embroidery thread is not the same, and the stitching method is also different. Of course, it's not very difficult, it's all methods that can be mastered. Yu'er Shui'er met again, and Yun'er took advantage of the victory to pursue, and taught Yu'er Shui'er several other embroidery methods called French knots as well. Tell them:

"There are a lot of rules for cross-stitch, but you can do it as you like." Yun'er also sent each of the fish and water a small set of cross-stitch, and there was a French knot on the drawing.

The third lesson is about flat petal embroidery. The embroidery method is: thread the needle from the position of "one", wrap the thread back, and then thread the needle from "one", thread it from "two", press the winding thread, tighten the thread into a petal shape, and then thread the needle from "two" into the ......

The fish and water are stupid to listen to and look stupid, and the step-by-step lessons are getting more and more interesting. It is just a piece of cloth, a needle, a colored thread, passing under the master's hand, and it becomes a beautiful picture, a beautiful little flower......

"Sister Yu'er is distracted." Seeing the tears that the fish was about to shed, Yun'er hurriedly reminded her. The fish quickly wiped its eyes and straightened its back.

"Hey! What are you doing? The baby in the belly is going to be unbearable, right? Why is there no day and no day? When Tian Liang entered the house, he saw his daughter-in-law busy and sitting beside her.

"Good husband, please, okay? This is a newly learned skill of the fish, and if you don't practice it, you will forget it. Yu'er pleaded and said good things to Tian Liang.

"You can't skip a meal, right? Let's go, I'll be left alone. ”

"Okay." The fish reluctantly put down the needle and thread, and was pulled by the father-in-law to the courtyard of the father-in-law.

"Yu'er, is there something wrong with your master, who has made you a fool?" Mrs. Chen asked.

"Ah, no, mother! It's the fish who likes it too much, don't blame the master! Don't blame your master. ”

"A few of you are cured, and we will not learn from you in the future." Mrs. Chen hugged Min Qi Gege and said. Min Qi Gege's attention was on Grandma's spoon, and the egg custard made by Grandma herself was delicious. Bei Bei was fed by her grandfather. The two grandmothers had already gone home after dinner, and the baby Beibei was in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Chen. Yu'er didn't dare to reveal a word of cross-stitch, Tian Liang obviously saw that she was doing cross-stitch, but his daughter-in-law didn't say it, so he naturally didn't say it. Now Rui'er has more time when she is here with her grandparents, if nothing else, it is the "100,000 Whys" that her aunt bought for Xuan's brother, which firmly attracts Rui'er like a magnet, and of course also attracts Xuan'er. Xuan'er didn't hide anything good from Rui'er, and when she watched it, the two of them leaned close to each other and watched intently. This is a set of coated paper, with color paintings, with pinyin children's popular science books. It attracts the attention of children very much, but fortunately, Xuan'er and Rui'er have learned pinyin. Books attracted them, otherwise, Rui'er would definitely have jumped to ask her mother when she saw cross-stitch.

Seeing that Yu'er Shui'er accepted cross-stitch quickly and solidly, he taught them the reverse embroidery, horizontal embroidery, vertical embroidery, and oblique embroidery of cross-stitch. And send them the corresponding exercise materials.

"Master, these sets of cross-stitch you bought must be very expensive, right?" Shui Er asked.

"This embroidery material is a bit more expensive than others, and many women, including old ladies and men, are embroidering in foreign places."

"Huh? Men also embroider? The eyes of the fish and the water stared at the boss.

"It's not that men love embroidery, it's that the embroidery embroidered by this embroidery method is very valuable. I heard that the large-scale cross-stitch is worth tens of thousands of yuan, of course, it is not the price of our silver, but it is also the price of tens of taels or hundreds of taels. My father has been a county magistrate for ten years, and his annual salary is only forty-five taels, and a big cross-stitch is about three or four months. They learn to make money. In fact, cooking is a woman's business, but no matter what era it is, the best cook is a man; The clothes are all made by women, and the best tailors are also men. Why do you say? Men have strength and courage. So, this cross-stitch I want Jixiang and Lehe to participate. They have no way back, they need to save money and use it when they are old. None of the eunuchs and fathers-in-law in our house are that kind of vicious, haven't you heard that they are harmful? This is the good atmosphere in our house, and in the future, we will take care of them more. ”

"Yes, the slaves and maids also think they are strange and pitiful."

In addition to cross-stitch and knotting, they can also learn the skills of threading beads, making velvet flowers, and pasting paper boxes. If they feel that teaching them openly will give some people a loophole, they teach them behind their backs, and then they do it in their own rooms, taking turns on duty. ”

"Master, you are too kind."

"It's not easy for everyone, help each other a little."

"Yes, the slaves will take care of them."

"Slaves too."
