The hands of the taker are short, and the mouth of the eater is soft.

After eating the shrimp dumplings brought by Ji Ying, Shi Xiang and the others looked at Ji Ying's eyes a little kindly.

How could he think that Ji Hotaru was indifferent and arrogant and didn't know how to get along with others?

Zhou Shaojin slandered in his heart, spread the moon-white Songjiang Sansuo cloth left by Jiying yesterday on the clothes case, and then took out the painting powder and scissors, and asked Jiying: "What does it look like?" ”

Ji Hotaru was stunned for a moment, and asked her, "What does it look like?" ”

Zhou Shaojin blinked his eyes and said, "You asked me to tell you how to make socks for Uncle Chi, if you don't give me a look, how do I know the size?" ”

Ji Ying's face turned slightly dark, and said, "You wait, I'll go find a pair of old socks." ”

Zhou Shaojin was silent.

Ji Ying quickly went out, but bumped into Shi Xiang, who was coming in with refreshments.

Shi Xiang looked at Ji Ying, who passed by her, and said puzzledly: "What's wrong?" Why did the girl leave when she just came? ”

"Nothing." Zhou Shaojin slowly placed the small box containing the painting powder on the side of the clothes case, and said, "I'll be back soon." ”

Shi Xiang said "um", put the refreshments on the small table next to him, and said, "Second Miss, you drink tea." ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded, took a sip of tea, thinking that he had made soup this morning, and it was estimated that Jiying would come tomorrow morning, so he could only make a birthday gift for Mrs. Guo in the evening. Then there is your own needlework, and it is better to give it to others as a gift. Before, Yuan begged her to help draw a picture of a play baby, and now Ji Ying begged her to help make socks, who knows who will be attracted tomorrow? She's not an embroiderer. And my sister is about to get married. In her previous life, her sister's heirs were difficult. She wanted to embroider a picture of Guanyin sending her son to her sister as a dowry. Such a relatively large embroidery, she has to embroider for at least half a year, if there is a delay, embroidery for a year is not unusual. Do the math, and now you have to prepare.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she didn't have enough time.

simply called Shi Xiang to come in and asked her to prepare a few large pieces of paper for herself: "...... It should be four feet square. ”

Small pieces of paper are cut from large pieces of paper, and this is very simple.

Shi Xiang smiled and left, and bumped into Jiying who entered the house.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but "huh" and said, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

Ji Ying's face was not very good-looking, and she didn't answer her confusion, but threw a pair of shoes that she was carrying with two fingers in front of Zhou Shaojin: "Hey, your Uncle Chi's shoes." ”

Zhou Shaojin looked at the fat shoes embroidered with auspicious clouds on the dark blue muslin on the ground, and said in amazement: "Didn't you ask me to sue you to make socks?" What are you bringing your shoes for? Could it be that Miss Nanping still asked you to help Uncle Chi make shoes? ”

Ji Hotaru was even more surprised than her, and said with wide eyes, "Aren't you going to make socks according to the size of your shoes?" ”

"Who sues you!" Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.

"When I was at home, my grandmother used to make socks from my shoes." Ji Ying's eyes widened wider than Zhou Shaojin's, "You don't make socks according to the size of your shoes, so what size do you make socks according to?" Do you want me to measure your Uncle Chi's feet? She looked disgusted and continued, "If that's the case, I'd rather ask Nanping how big your Uncle Chi's socks are." ”

That's because you're a girl, so your grandma can't take your old socks and show them to others.

Zhou Shaojin didn't know what to say, closed his eyes, and said after a while: "You either find Uncle Shuangchi's old socks, or ask Miss Nanping to draw a sock." ”

Nanping is in charge of the needlework of the Xiaoshan Cong Guiyuan, and she must know the size of Uncle Chi well, and it is easy to draw a sock.

However, Zhou Shaojin estimated that Jiying would not look for her.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a big oolong just now.

But Ji Ying said that when she was at home, her grandmother made socks for her according to her shoes, which is the style of a large family...... Could it be that the Ji Ying family is an official eunuch who has been discredited? No, didn't she say that her parents were farming in their hometown? There are also two older brothers...... So why did she enter the mansion to serve Uncle Chi?

The more Zhou Shaojin thought about it, the more confused she felt.

Ji Hotaru folded back like the wind, carrying a pair of socks with two fingers...... "Hello, here you go!" ”

Zhou Shaojin knew it in his heart with just one glance.

She pointed to the small rattan basket next to the clothes case and said, "Just put it there." ”

Hotaru threw her socks in the rattan basket.

Zhou Shaojin took the painting powder and began to paint socks on the cloth.

Ji Yingqi said: "Don't you even need to measure it?" ”

"Is this enough?" Zhou Shaojin didn't raise his head and said, "When I learned needlework in the past, I don't know how many pairs of socks I made. ”

Ji Hotaru was even more curious, and said, "Why do you want to make socks?" ”

"To practice needlework!" Zhou Shaojin picked up the scissors and began to cut the cloth with a click, "Whether the needle and thread are done well or not, the main thing is to see if the needle is even or uneven, flat or uneven, which requires regular practice." Otherwise, no matter how well your clothes are cut, after sewing, they will be wrinkled because of the different sizes of stitches, and the clothes will not look good. Therefore, novices in embroidery embroidered handkerchiefs, and novices in making clothes made socks. She didn't know anything about the needlework of Jiying, and she was quite interested in the origin of Jiying, so she couldn't help asking, "Didn't you learn needlework when you were young?" ”

Ji Ying said vaguely: "My mother wants me to learn, but my father said that I am like this, it doesn't matter if I don't learn, anyway, more women can do needlework, and when the time comes, just ask someone to make clothes, shoes and socks for me." At this, her face became a little ugly.

Zhou Shaojin looked at it and sighed in his heart.

Ji Ying didn't expect that her family would end up making her Uncle Chi a maid, right?

And to be a maid, needlework is the most basic skill.

If you can't do needlework well, no matter how good you are, it will be difficult to get ahead.

Zhou Shaojin paused.

There is also a situation that some girls are born to settle accounts and can't do needlework, but they can settle accounts, and they can also stand in the owner's house.

"Are you good at math, then?" She asked Ji Hotaru.

"It's better to be better than others naturally." Ji Ying said, a hint of gloom flashed on her face, and said, "Can you compare it with your Uncle Chi...... It's not good. ”

Zhou Shaojin was relieved.

Dare to compare with men, it must be very strong among girls.

didn't blame her father for saying that she wouldn't be a female celebrity and didn't matter, and finally sent her to the Cheng family. It's no wonder that her arrogance is so high, and she is bold!

"That's pretty impressive." She comforted Jiying, "Like my eldest aunt, I have always wanted to find a maid to help her settle accounts, but I haven't found it to this day, so I have to keep pulling my sister to help." A few days ago, my aunt said that when my sister is out of the cabinet, what will she do? You can manage the accounts in Uncle Chi's house, many people are too late to envy it! ”

Ji Ying pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "How can I help your Uncle Chi take care of the accounts in the house?" The accounts in your Uncle Chi's house are all managed by Nanping. Although her arithmetic skills are very ordinary, but her words to your Uncle Chi are like Fenglunyin, as long as it is what your Uncle Chi says, no matter how boring things are, you can never get tired of it, I can't compare to her. ”

Isn't that how it should be?

Zhou Shaojin looked at Ji Ying's disapproving expression, and really had nothing to say.

Fortunately, she quickly cut the socks, and told Sù Jiying which piece of cloth is the sole of the sock and which piece of cloth is the sock tube: "...... Do you understand? Sew these two pieces together, and then connect this one piece, and you're good to go. ”

Ji Hotaru was very smart, almost as soon as she picked up one of them, Ji Hotaru immediately understood the role of the other piece, and she could see that she had cut a total of ten pairs of socks, and said: "Nanping only asked me to make four pairs, what are you doing with so many cuts?" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "The rest is for you to practice." ”

In fact, she stacked the fabric on top of each other, one pair was also three scissors, and two pairs were also three scissors...... Ten pairs are also three scissors, and it doesn't take much effort.

Ji Hotaru also saw it, she let out an "oh" and didn't say anything.

Zhou Shaojin told her how to hold the needle and how to take the thread.

Jihotaru also learns quickly.

It's just that when it was time to sew, she hesitated: "You make a double and I'll take a look first, I always think that I will waste this material." ”

Zhou Shaojin was the same when she first started learning to make women's threads, and she didn't dare to get a needle.

She smiled and let Hotaru look at her, and began to sew socks.

Zhou Shaojin's hands are steady and fast, the stitches are smooth and dense, and they are like embroidery, and they are walking with cross needles, so that although the socks have no patterns, the joints are like embroidered edges, and they are threads of the same color, which looks like a low-key gorgeousness.

Ji Ying couldn't help but praise: "Your needlework is even better than Nanping's!" ”

Zhou Shaojin felt that she was a kind word, and said with a smile: "Nanping girl's needlework is full of praise even for Zhang Niangzi in the needlework room, how can I compare with her?" ”

"I think your needlework is really better than Nanping's." Ji Hotaru said seriously, "She is a maid, and she doesn't know how many things to make every year." You are a young lady, and at most you will make yourself two small clothes, but the stitches are not inferior to Nanping, so I said that your needlework is better than Nanping. ”

Zhou Shaojin decided not to speak again.

Shi Xiang walked in with a smile and said, "Second Miss, Miss Nanping is here." ”

Zhou Shaojin was surprised.

Ji Hotaru frowned and said, "What is she doing here?" ”

"I don't know." Shi Xiang smiled: "Miss Nanping didn't say anything. ”

Ji Ying said to Zhou Shaojin: "If she asks about me, don't say I'm here." ”

Zhou Shaojin saw that there was something wrong between Jiying and Nanping, and she didn't want the two of them to make a fuss in their own place.

"I see." She smiled and agreed to Ji Ying, and went to the small flower hall with Shi Xiang to meet guests.

"I'm sorry!" When Nanping saw her, she was sorry to accompany Zhou Shaojin, "Ji Ying is very arrogant, she doesn't know the rules very well, she came to you so recklessly, and caused you trouble." She said, pointing to the paper box on the table, "This is Qi Fangzhai's dim sum, which is shocking to the second young lady." I also ask the second lady to forgive Ji Hotaru's unintentional mistakes. ”

Ji Ying's shoes and socks for a while, making such a big move, as a big girl in the Guiyuan of the small mountain, she must not be able to hide it from Nanping.
