Yun'er can now spare a little time to practice painting, although she can't create, the basic skills of the new painting method she learned from the foreign land and Lan Lan have to be practiced regularly, and she has a firm grasp.

Yun'er was born as a commoner and was used to living a frugal life, although she brought back a lot of rice paper and painting materials, she would not ruin the heavens. To practice basic skills, I am reluctant to use genuine rice paper and tin tube pigments, but to practice paper and advertising pigments. Start by drawing grape grains.

In the era where Yun'er lived, it belonged to the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and most of the paintings of the painters in this period were Gongbi landscapes and Gongbi flowers and birds, and there were not many freehand paintings. The famous painter Bada Shanren painted freehand flowers and birds, but he was a descendant of the Ming Dynasty and had a strong attachment to the mountains and rivers of his homeland, but he did not want to see the rulers of the Qing Dynasty from the heart. Therefore, most of the flowers and birds he painted are white-eyed to the sky.

Throughout the paintings of famous painters before the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, none of them contain the perspective relationship in Western paintings, so the distance and proportion of the characters in the picture are not in place. None of the grapes are high-glossed, and none of the bamboos are three-dimensional.

So Yun'er put a lot of effort into grape grains, not only grapes, but also hawthorn, loquat, bayberry, lychee, cherry and other round fruits are all classified into one category of exercises. There are also exercises with bamboo poles and bamboo leaves. In particular, the thick bamboo pole is painted with a wide brush pen, and due to the different pigments dipped in it, the three-dimensional effect of the bamboo pole is very strong, just like the real thing.

Due to the large size of the painting case, Yun'er's painting case has a row of brush washes, not the kind of flat blue and white porcelain brush washes, but poured out glass cans and bottles, and the pigments on the pen heads are soaked in the brush wash according to the color system, instead of all colors are mixed together, and then it becomes a chaotic soup that is not gray and black and not black. The pigment can continue to be used after the color shabu-shabu, that is, the pen is washed a little more, and the space occupied on the painting case is a little larger.

At this stage, Yun'er has a lot of things, and there is no time to practice drawing, so this method is adopted, and you can pick up a pen at any time to practice a few strokes.

In the west wing, Yu'er Shui Er still continued to practice using the sewing machine, no longer familiar with the use of the method, but made the finished product with cloth. They locked the cut nylon yarn with gold and silver threads, left a small opening for the rope, and turned it over, so that the maids and grandmothers would not notice the traces of the sewing machine threads on it. There are also various handbags that are molded and zippers are closed. The other processes are completed by the maids and grandmothers in the house. These semi-finished products are the first process.

When the maids and grandmothers receive this semi-finished sachet or handbag, they will have a sachet filled with dried flowers mixed with preservatives, and they will sew the small roses that are stacked and sewn on the neck of the roasted wheat bun; He will sew a handle on the bag and cut the thread. It will also wrap out a circle of small flowers wrapped in rubber bands, and can also give a finger-wide white hairpin card that is more beautiful than pearls is light pink, tender green, red and other plastic beads, and will also wear bracelets and necklaces of various colors and materials.

People are curious, and they are strong and weak. The girl's curiosity and gossip were hard to hold: "Mama Lin, have you paid attention?" These sewn nylon yarn stitches are exactly the same size! What can this be? ”

Is it important for you to make money by doing work, or is it important to squeak and scream when you see something? If you shouldn't, ask less. Mama Lin taught this inquisitive little girl a lesson unceremoniously. The little girl stretched out her pink little tongue and closed her mouth.

In the west wing, under the guidance of Ling Juan, Yu'er Shui'er began to practice using a sewing machine to make clothes. Ling Juan has been working as a costume and a puppet in the prison's labor camp for three years, and she has already formed a conditioned reflex for making clothes. From cutting to stitching, ironing, and buttoning, you can't go wrong with your eyes closed. It's so easy to tutor fish and water!

"These are a few pieces of fabric that your master has selected for you, all for your children to make children's clothes, use them boldly. I'll tell you how to cut children's clothes......"

Ling Juan's children's clothes are all in the style of children in the Qing Dynasty, with robes, horse coats and vests. In one morning, the two of them made Rui'er and Tiedan's clothes. There is a cartoon animal with a cloth sticker on the left chest of each dress, which is quite cute, and this is Yun'er sewn the cloth stickers of cartoon characters such as Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Little Flower, Fruit, Goldfish, Elephant, Deer, etc., which children will definitely love with her memory.

Ling Juan herself is responsible for the production of children's clothing for Xuan Shizi, Bake Belle and Qi Gege, as well as the children's clothing production of Xue Gege and the princes and palace maids who enter the palace to accompany him.

Fu Jin got the pink girl's clothes that Ling Juan made for her daughter, and she was very moved and guilty, and she loved it so much. thanked Ling Juan vigorously and gave her a reward of ten taels of silver.

didn't wait for the queen to pick up, Fu Jin brought the children's clothes for his daughters, princes, and princesses into the palace. The first stop when entering the palace was the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, saluting the Queen Mother and then talking about things.

The Queen Mother fell in love with these delicate little clothes as soon as she saw them. I can't wait to wear one myself. Xue'er was asked to try on clothes from class, and jumped up without waiting to put them on: "E-niang, can you dress Xue'er herself?" After saying that, I couldn't wait to put it on my body.

"Baby, why did you become an acute child like your little mother? I haven't taken off my clothes yet. Seeing that his daughter likes it like this, Fujin is very satisfied.

"Embroidery, you have to make more of this kind of clothes, not less than ten taels of silver!" Gotcha, it's mixed up again.

The concubines and the nurses of their children have brought the princes and princesses, and the children, who are as naughty and active as the leather monkeys, are just as eager to wear beautiful clothes as Xue'er.

Seeing that all the ladies are eels, Fujin said goodbye to the Queen Mother and wanted to return to the house.

went directly to Yun'er's Feiyun Building and said to her: "The Queen Mother asked us to make a large number of children's clothes, each of which is ten taels of silver." Yun'er put down the brush in her hand, said to Fujin after greeting him: "If it's okay, just mix it up in our affairs!" ”

"him! Let's sell as much as we want. But if this is what it can be supplied in the Nalan Department Store? ”

"Don't worry, go back and Yun'er will give you a few good things to do, you can prepare more fabrics, and Yun'er will give you some clothing accessories, and you will do it boldly!"

"But ......"

"No, but, you can take this cloth that Yun'er has prepared for you here. Then you find a more private place, and tomorrow let the Tian guards install and debug the sewing machine for you, and Yun'er and Sister Ling will teach you how to use it. ”

"What kind of machine is my sister talking about?"

"A sewing machine is an instrument used to do needlework."

"Needlework equipment? Is there such a thing in the world? Fu Jin didn't believe it at all. But she didn't dare to deny it comprehensively, the things that the three princes brought back were all shocking objects. It has always been women who do needlework, and there are instruments that can also do it?

"Yes, this is an iron tool, and the speed of work is many times faster than that of people sewing with hand needles, and Yun'er and Wang Ye bought it back to prepare to use it to work."

"Hurry up! Hurry up and put it on your sister! But just if it's installed, it won't be used? Will my sister use it? Can we people in the Qing Dynasty learn? ”

"You can rest assured about this, Yun'er has already learned to use a sewing machine over there, Mr. Ling is still an expert in using a sewing machine, and we have already taught fish and water to use it, so it can prove that the Qing people are completely able to accept it. It's just that this device is too extraordinary, I'm afraid it ......"

"Sister understands! Don't worry, my sister won't tell anyone. ”

"It's not your problem alone. If we only buy one or two units, it seems that we won't be able to solve much of a problem, if the people who serve around you also learn, Yun'er can't guarantee that someone will keep their mouths shut. ”

"Sister knows what you mean! The people in my sister's room should let her learn what she should learn, and stand aside if she shouldn't. ”

"No, Fujin, have you thought of it, if you are around...... Can you guarantee that the people up there won't know? When the time comes, no matter how much or how much we want from us, or let us teach them to use it, or borrow it today, use it tomorrow, our time and energy are given to them, and we have to entertain them well, can we do anything yet? ”

"Yikes! My sister thinks too far! In this way, this kind of thing should never be known to anyone. ”

"Yes, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of people in our house."

"What did the prince say?"

"The prince is also the same as Yun'er said, which grandmother sister who can use the sewing machine must ensure that the mouth is repaired to the point of keeping a bottle, if anyone can't do it, they can't set foot in a step!"

"Okay, how many people can use it in my sister's room?"

"You can trust anyone, including a few Jingqi grandmothers, embroidery girls and grandmothers from the palace Shangyi Bureau. You first let the two people next to you, Mama Zheng and Sister Bun'er, take the lead in using it, and then they can accept it and then talk about others. ”

"Sister understands, so can my sister use it?"

"Hey, you can't use anyone more reliable than you? In this way, you first find a safe and reliable place, a place where others can't go, install the sewing machine first, and at the same time, you and Mama Zheng and Sister Wuya come to Yun'er to learn, Yun'er and Sister Ling are responsible for teaching skills, and Yu'er Shui'er can also tutor and tutor. A few of you have learned to teach reliable people. No more than five or six people. ”

"My sister knows, even if my sister risks her life, she can't leak it."

"It's serious, it's up to you."

"My sister believes in my sister so much?"

"If you're not trustworthy, can Yun'er find someone more reliable than you?"

There were tears in Fu Jin's eyes, this was Yun'er's absolute trust in her!

"My sister has a clearer understanding of Mr. Ling! From ancient times to the present, how many people trust others so much? ”

"You and Mama Zheng will go to Yun'er in the backyard tomorrow for a field trip, and Yun'er will be quieter."

"Sister listens to you."

In the evening, when the prince came back from the construction site, he went to Yun'er first and asked her if there was anything she needed to do and he needed his help. Yun'er told the prince about the sewing machine, worried that the stitches of the sewing machine would be discovered by someone with a heart and questioned it.

"Didn't you buy a hundred or so pocket sewing machines? Use it as a shield. ”

"You can do it! A cunning fox worthy of being a cunning fox. ”

"Hahaha......" the prince laughed loudly. The rough maid on night duty at the door had a surprised expression on her face, the number of times the prince laughed like this was too rare, and I don't know what Master Yun said to make the prince so happy. It seems that the prince can't shake off the honor and favor of Master Yun. Master Yun has the honor of the prince, and his current people will also borrow light.

The prince sat in Yun'er's room for a while and then got up to go to the front yard. Before leaving, he took Yun'er in his arms and said, "If you take care of it well, the downstairs of the Suzhou house at No. 1 East Road will be vacated soon." I'll come over when Ling Juan moves over, do you know what I mean? ”

"Yun'er saved, thank you for your care."

"Bring me a few pieces of the work you did with the sewing machine, show them to Fujin, and take a few of the pocket sewing machine."

"Yes, Yun'er will bring it to you."

"My mother, is our cloud master a human? You can learn all these things. Mr. Ling is also so powerful, Master Yun said that she still learned the sewing machine from Mr. Ling. Originally, I thought she was a grandmother who watched the children, and the master brought her over for fear that people would underestimate her, and called her sir, and now I see that people really have two brushes. The explanation is straightforward, patient and kind. It's really great that our master's anxious son can learn this. ”

"The master is also very patient, Shui Er is afraid that he will be as stupid as a pig, and he will annoy the master, but the master is saying over and over again, I will be sorry for the master if I don't study hard. The master didn't start teaching from a few grandmothers in the Fujin room, but from the two of us, this heart will always be remembered. ”

"Yes, these are not the knowledge of our Qing Dynasty, the master and Mr. Ling don't even want to teach us like this, it's really sorry if you don't study hard."

It is said that there will be only a layer of window paper separated from it, but in fact, it is farther away than a layer of mountains. Yu Er Shui Er was more focused on the next day's study, listening almost intently to the two tutors. After passing the familiar and independent stringing assessment, the instructors taught them the specific operation. It is much easier to operate than threading, after sewing the needle, the presser foot presses the edge of the fabric, turns the handwheel, and the fabric moves forward almost automatically.

Yun'er cut the nylon yarn that Tian Liang and Nalan found into seven-inch squares, and then cut them round again, so that Yu'er Shui Er could use them as exercises. The two of them locked the edges with two shiny threads, gold and silver. Wow, that's beautiful! The needle sizes are all the same size, neatly locked, and they are locked on the edges of bright red and rose nylon yarn. Use a hand pin to lock the edge, and you have to use the master's words for at least half an hour to go down in a circle. With the yard edge machine to code a circle, the master looked at the watch on his wrist and said that it only took two minutes, which is one-fifteenth of half an hour, this speed! This is still newly learned, and the biliary protrusion code comes out, and the speed of proficiency is even faster than this. After a while, Shui'er finished the pile of nylon yarn cut out by the master, hugged Yun'er forgetfully, and kept saying: "Thank you master, thank you master!" The slave wants to give you a few kowtows. ”

"Stop, stop! The two of you must be as skilled as you make gowns and soles, to the point where you are handy, to the level where you don't even have to think about it. When I was in a foreign land, I first learned from Sister Han, then from Sister Ling, and later with a girl named Xiaoman, who learned another sewing machine. It's all gradual, that is, all the sewing machines I bought back can be operated, and you will only graduate when you are proficient. ”

"You mean there are other sewing machines that can be used for different purposes? The slave and maid thought that there were only two of them. "The fish are so happy! This is a big skill, and it is the only scorpion tail in the Qing Dynasty!

"Strictly speaking, the sewing machine is not a formal sewing machine, it can only be yard edge, flat edge, fungus edge, density edge, and ruffles, and the sewing machine is used for formal work, making clothes, skirts, cotton clothes, and jackets. And then there are ...... that can be embroidered."

"Huh? And embroidery? "The fish and the water don't believe their ears anymore, how can the ironsmith embroider, just like the gods in the story. The eyes of the two were more than twice as big as usual, and in Yun'er's words, they were shocked.

"You have a lot to learn, there is a long way to go, I hope you must have the spirit of dripping water through stones, not only perseverance, but also the goal is consistent."

"Slaves will, will!" The heads of the two men nodded like chickens pecking rice.

"You two practice first, and Sister Ling and I will go home to deliver milk to Lord Belle and Gege."
