Chapter 186: Embroidery Experience
When Li Xin went upstairs, Caiyun and Caixia were tidying up the house they were living in. The house has been unoccupied, and it really needs to be cleaned up, but fortunately it won't be very dirty, because it will be cleaned regularly on weekdays.
When people don't live in it, the doors and windows are naturally closed, and naturally they won't be dirty. Even the dust is not light enough to blow into, so a simple cleaning can be done to live in people.
When I lived in the past, I added a lot of things to the house, that is, beds, tables and chairs, even if I didn't use them, I also added some new bedding, so now these people who live in also have useful things. If there was no addition in front, and now these people suddenly live in, they really can't use things for a while.
"Does the young lady have any orders?" Seeing Li Xin standing outside the door, Caixia hurriedly greeted her.
"I don't have anything to command, it's just that I've been on the road for so long, I'm a little tired, and I want to rest, you guys pack up, and take a rest!" Li Xin smiled and patted Caixia on the shoulder. "You've seen the situation in my house. The environment is a little simple, there must be some grievances to you, if you have anything to add, don't hide it, just sue me. Or just tell Sister-in-law Wu that it's okay, she is more familiar with the town, and she can take you to buy it. β
"Miss is serious, this place is already very good, where is there any grievance! If you really want to buy something, you will definitely tell the young lady. Caixia accompanied Li Xin into the house where Li Xin's sisters lived.
Sister Li Xin's house has always been very simple, there are no identity decorations, at most there is a white porcelain vase, and occasionally some fresh flowers are inserted to decorate the house. Now, that is, some jewelry and rouge gouache have been put in, and the makeup has been replaced by the Ling family. There are landscape paintings on the walls.
Then there are bedding and tents, which are more beautiful, and the previous ones are too simple, and the materials are very average. Since Li Xin's bed has changed, it is natural that Yuexiang and Yueting's beds have also been changed.
There was nothing else to decorate or add anything to it. The main thing is that the area of the house is also limited, so it is difficult to move in too many things.
Therefore, the things brought from the Ling family this time were almost put into the warehouse.
"Miss, take a look? Is there anything inappropriate, and the slave and maid will arrange it again? Driving Li Xin into the house, Caixia asked.
"It's already good, no need to set it up anymore." Li Xin looked around. After a casual arrangement, the style of the room is a little different. All of a sudden, it seemed that the room that used to be very ordinary became much more luxurious. It seems that the rooms are mostly furnished.
"By the way, there are two more things to give to Miss." Caixia said and took something from the bookcase on the side. Below is a box, and above is a book. Caixia first took the book and handed it to Li Xin, "This is given to Miss by Mr. Yu in the school, saying that she has learned some of her experience in embroidery for many years." I was busy packing up! The slave put the book in the big box, and forgot to tell Miss SΓΉ for a while. I just turned it out when I was flipping through something. β
Li Xin took the book and looked at it casually, there were really some experiences in it, as well as a variety of stitches, embroidery patterns, and colors, all of which were very detailed, and there were even various drawings. The book looks old, so it seems that Mr. Yu wrote it down when he was young!
I knew that it was something very important to Mr. Ya, but I didn't expect Mr. Yu to give her such an important thing! Speaking of which, shouldn't such a thing be handed over to a proud disciple, it stands to reason that several young ladies of the Ling family and she do not belong to the category of a proud disciple. Because their identity is destined to be impossible to become an embroiderer, no matter how good the memory is, it will not be carried forward in their hands.
People like them may not even be able to pass it on! After all, the identity is there! Where will you accept disciples to teach! At most, it's passed on to one's daughter or something.
She really didn't expect that Mr. Yu would value her so much! However, what she has learned now is really not much, compared to Mr. Yu, it is simply the difference between thread and large embroidery. She and Mr. Yan will definitely not have much time to get along in the future, and may not even have any. Therefore, she may not be able to learn from Mr. Yu anymore, and she may not make great progress in embroidery.
Since that's the case, Mr. Yu still values her very much!
It seems that in the next few days, she still has to learn female red embroidery well, and she must not embarrass Mr. Yan.
"Mr. Yu is really well-intentioned!" She sighed, holding the book tightly in her hand, such an important thing must be kept well in the future, and it must be read and studied carefully, so as to live up to Mr. Yu's hard work.
"Mr. Tong values Miss very much! Even a few young ladies in the house have never received such a gift from Mr. Yu! According to Mr. Yu, it took her several years to sort out this book, and it really took a lot of effort and energy. I have been looking at Mr. Yu's arrogance, and I thought that no one would really put it in his eyes! I didn't expect to like Miss so much. Caixia smiled.
It's also a rare thing for my own young lady to be liked by Mr. Yan. After all, although Mr. Yu has been teaching several young ladies of the Ling family, he doesn't have much real love in him. In other words, in Mr. Yu's eyes, the young ladies of the Ling family cannot be regarded as real disciples, but are just regarded as little masters.
But it is not tolerated for the young lady, with the sincere teaching of Mr. Yan, I think that the young lady's needlework will definitely be very good in the future.
With such an identity as a young lady, she naturally will not be an embroiderer with a low status, nor will she exchange needles and threads for money. However, if you can learn a good hand of female red embroidery, if you get married in the future, you can do some bright embroidery work for your uncle, and you can compare other women.
"I didn't expect to get Mr. Yan's blue eyes! Speaking of which, I was the last to enter the school, and I was the worst in needlework. Li Xin was really surprised.
"Maybe Mr. Yu looks at the young lady as diligent and serious! Although I said that I was the last to enter the school, I studied very seriously and hard! I didn't study for long, but now the lady's embroidery work is slowly brightening. Although the young lady in the house embroidered brightly, she had been studying for a long time. Except for the fourth lady, who has not studied for a long time, the other three ladies have been studying for many years! β
"That's it! It's a pity that I don't know, and I didn't thank Mr. Yu in person, and Mr. Yan doesn't know what to think! β
"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, and such an important thing has been forgotten." Caixia looked guilty. I was also dizzy when I collected things, and there was such a mistake.
"Don't blame yourself, I didn't blame you. It's just a sigh, you're also busy forgetting jì for a while, what a big deal! Let me write a letter to Mr. Yu to explain! It's okay. Li Xin patted Caixia's hand, "What's going on with that box?" Li Xin's gaze moved to the box in Caixia's hand.
"This box was given by the old lady, and it was given to the young lady when she arrived at the young lady's house. The slave didn't see it either, so she didn't know what was inside. Caixia handed the box to Li Xin and took out a key from her neck. The key is braided and hung around Caixia's neck, it seems that Caixia is really careful, and she hides the key so carefully!
Li Xin opened the box with the key, but there were all kinds of jewelry inside, and she was stunned for a moment. Speaking of jewelry, Mrs. Ling has obviously given her a lot, and even the ladies of the Ling family also have gifts. Wang also gave a box, which was a very thick gift. Among the sisters of the Ling family, it was the heaviest gift from Ling Xixi, and it was not inferior to the one given by the Wang family.
It seems that Ling Xixi always felt sorry for her because of the Li family's family affairs, so she would give such a valuable box of jewelry. Speaking of which, when I came back from the Ling family, I had already brought back a lot of jewelry. And Mrs. Ling not only gave a lot of jewelry, but also gave a whole box of gems and pearls, etc., which was enough to beat I don't know how many jewelry.
Why do you still give jewelry! Isn't that weird? And let Caixia have to come back and give it to her. She looked at it, and the jewelry was more expensive, but there was nothing very unusual.
"Miss thinks it's strange?"
"Don't you think it's strange? My grandmother has already given me a lot of jewelry, and when I came back this time, I received several boxes of jewelry! Why would my grandmother suddenly give me another box and let you come back and give it to me? β
"This is indeed strange, and the slave maid did not expect that there was jewelry inside the box. Could there be something in this box? β
"Possibly!" Li Xin also felt that there might be something strange in the box. She took out all the jewelry in the box, and then looked at it, and there was nothing else in it except jewelry. She knocked on it, and there was no feeling of a mezzanine on the bottom! I think the space of the box is wrong, and it looks like a relatively large box from the outside, but when I look inside, there is not much space!
It always feels weird to look like this.
"Caixia, you don't think that the good show in this box is relatively small. From the outside, it looks bigger! Li Xin asked Caixia. The two of them circled around this box, looking and knocking at the same time, just to see what was going on with this box. Old Madam Ling is like this, she can't just give some more jewelry, right?
It can't be so simple! R1152
