On the first day of the embroidery workshop, there was no fatigue or busyness in the phenomenon of childlike appearance.

The steward took a look at the embroidery workshop with a childish face. The embroidery workshop in the east is mainly Suzhou embroidery products, the master of drawing, the apprentice and the embroidery girl are divided into two courtyards to work, the apprentice is assigned to the three rooms in the same courtyard according to the stage of learning embroidery, the beginner is mainly to learn the introductory techniques of embroidery, and embroider some small things such as handkerchiefs, after a period of introductory learning, will enter the middle room, begin to embroider some fan or something, and so on, will enter the highest level of apprenticeship room, start to embroider some satin or something, until after passing the assessment, You will enter the courtyard of the embroidered girl and officially begin to make a living from embroidery.

After becoming an embroidery girl, you can enter the courtyard of the embroidery girl, and each person has their own compartment to concentrate on embroidery. The painter of the embroidery drawings also created samples in this courtyard, and once these patterns were shown, they were put into the warehouse under special care and no longer circulated in the community.

Therefore, the embroidery of the Su family is always unique and can be favored by the royal family, and Su Hao's Yunshang Xuan also refers to the model of the Su embroidery workshop, plus the excellent embroidery and silk of the Su family, so that it can gain a foothold in the capital in a short period of time and be accepted by the eunuchs and nobles.

After taking Tong Yan to visit and understand, the steward took Tong Yan back to the front hall of the embroidery workshop, and Xiao Si quickly served fragrant tea.

Shopkeeper Qiu greeted the steward yesterday, and the girl Tong who came today came to Donglin with Su Hao, so that the steward could take care of it. Seeing Tong Yan today, this girl is also well-behaved, and she seems to be quite interested in embroidery, but she doesn't know what kind of kung fu she has in her hands.

"Miss Tong, is there anything else you would like to know?" The steward asked Tong Yan politely.

Tong Yan was a little embarrassed, the steward's attitude towards her was very polite, if it was just an ordinary girl who came to the embroidery workshop, I believe that there would be absolutely no chance to visit the embroidery workshop, and it was impossible to sit here and drink tea leisurely.

"Boy girl?" The steward greeted Tong Yan again.

"Uh...... Oh, steward, that ...... How much does an apprentice get paid per month? "Well, get straight to the point, straight to the point.

"Apprentice? The third-class apprentice is not paid, the second-class apprentice has a monthly salary of five silver dollars, and the first-class apprentice has a monthly salary of one or two silver. "The steward told the truth.

In this case, even if you can be a first-class apprentice, the monthly silver will not be enough to pay Su Hao even if you cover the daily expenses.

"That'...... What about embroidered women? ”

"If you embroider a girl, you will be paid one tael of silver a month, and for each pair of embroidered goods, according to the quality of the embroidery and the size of the embroidery, there will be another salary."

In other words, when you can be an embroiderer, you can support yourself and your grandparents. Tong Yan clenched his palms. The Su family's embroidery workshop is not an embroidery girl that anyone can do, and I don't know if I have this foundation.

"Miss Tong, if it's convenient, can you let me see your previous embroidery?" The steward still asked Tong Yan very politely.

Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, and didn't say that he wanted her to bring embroidery.

When the steward saw Tong Yan's appearance, he knew that Tong Yan had not brought embroidery over, but it was not the first time that the steward had encountered such a thing, so he beckoned a Xiao Si.

"Miss Tong, could you please go to the side hall with this Xiao Si to embroider a small work?"

Tong Yan nodded, stood up and entered the side hall with Xiao Si.

The side hall is small, with only a table and a stool, on which is placed an embroidery bandage and silk thread. This is to try her embroidery skills, Tong Yan took a deep breath.

Xiao Si asked Tong Yan to sit down, lit an incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner by the window, and then said to Tong Yan: "Tong girl, you can embroider some familiar patterns at will, and after the incense is burned, I will come here again." With that, Xiao Si Shili withdrew.

Tong Yan calmed down, he rarely did embroidery work, only when he was in the capital, he was bored all day long, and he did more, and now he can only try to recall the embroidery patterns in the capital.

Tong Yan silently drew a pattern of bluegrass in his heart, and embroidered it carefully with stitches and threads.

The kung fu of a stick of incense soon arrived, and the steward and Xiao Si entered the side hall together, and what they saw was a childish face burying his head and doing embroidery seriously. The steward nodded, this serious attitude is the heart of hatred, and I don't know what the embroidered thing looks like.

The steward coughed, Tong Yan was startled, pricked a needle on his finger, and came back to his senses.

"Steward, you're here." Tong Yan said and handed over the embroidery bandage on his hand, his face flushed.

The steward nodded again, took the embroidered bandage, and carefully looked at the pattern on the embroidered bandage.

The steward kept looking at the picture on the embroidery bandage, and kept looking at the ......

The steward felt that his eyes were a little uncomfortable, and he always felt that these pieces of bamboo leaves on the embroidery did not look like bamboo leaves......

The steward felt that his face was a little uncontrollable, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little......

Xiao Si on the side looked at the steward's reaction and felt strange. It stands to reason that the steward should have seen any exquisite embroidery, and he shouldn't be so out of shape, so Xiao Si also leaned over to look at the pattern on the embroidery.

Well, Xiao Si felt like he was covered with black lines all over his head......

Looking at the reactions of the two people in front of him, Tong Yan felt a little ashamed, blaming himself for never thinking about learning embroidery before, and only after arriving in the capital did he start making these female celebrities.

The steward was indeed the steward, but after a moment, he came back to his senses, and accurately identified what Tong Yan was embroidering: "Tong girl, although this bluegrass is not so exquisitely embroidered, it ...... Ahem...... Well...... It can still be seen that Tong Girl also has some skills. ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan's jaw almost fell. What kind of eyes is this!

The steward raised his eyes to look at Tong Yan, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, committed to getting out of the way, and continued: "Tong girl, please." ”

When he followed the steward back to the front hall and sat down, Tong Yan's face was still like a boiled river shrimp, and the whole person looked a little restless.

The steward had already asked Xiao Si to put away the embroidery of the child's face. Looking at the appearance of the child's face, the steward was also muttering in his heart, why did you say that the second young man agreed to let this girl come to the embroidery workshop? What do you think he wants to do with this girl's hands? If you don't arrange it, what will happen to the offended Ershao? But if it is arranged, this, this, such embroidery, what should I do?

Tong Yan also seemed to see the embarrassment of the steward, after all, her embroidery skills were placed there, these delicate work, she really didn't have this talent, so she took the initiative to speak: "Steward, don't be embarrassed, I don't have to be an embroidery girl...... " The implication is that I can be an apprentice. In short, now we have to find something first, or even my grandfather's medicine money has to reach out to Su Hao, which is not good.

The steward laughed twice, and an idea popped into his head, but he had to go to the shopkeeper Qiu to discuss. The person was brought by the shopkeeper Qiu, so it is better to ask the shopkeeper Qiu for clarification.

"Miss Tong, don't worry, it's not that you don't embroider well, whether this is an apprentice or an embroidery girl, let me think about it." The steward smiled a little embarrassed, if it was someone else, did you still need to think about it, "Miss Tong will go back to rest today, and then invite Miss Tong to work in the workshop tomorrow." ”

That's it? Tong Yan was stunned, this is it?

Although he knew in his heart that this steward accepted her, more or less looking at Su Hao's face, Tong Yan couldn't manage so much at this time, even if he was only an apprentice, a few dollars of silver per month, it was better than staying and eating white rice.
