"We're going to learn embroidery soon, do you want my cousin to come with us?" After having breakfast at Mrs. Ling's place, Ling Qianqian asked Li Xin.

The Ling family, both male and female, all have to go to school. However, men and women are naturally different, and it is very difficult for men to go to school, but it is much easier for women. In the morning, I learn embroidery, women's manners, rules, etc., and in the afternoon, I learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

These classes are all taken in turns, and they are generally studied stage by stage. If you don't have the talent in this area, or you have no interest, you can simply learn it, at least enter the door, not to mention how powerful it is, you can read and understand, and you can have the minimum ability to appreciate it.

In this world, it is natural to advocate the saying that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", in fact, it is the instinct of men to curb women from becoming stronger, so as to consolidate men's dominance in this world. Therefore, most of the women are illiterate, and occasionally a few talented women appear, which is also inherited from their parents.

Many women from rich and noble families naturally have few talented women, most of them just know a few words, and they have read women's training rules and the like. The average housewife only needs to be able to read the account book and be able to communicate with people easily. You don't need to have much education, and you don't have to take the imperial examination like men.

After all, most of the famous talented women in history have had a rough life, and their lives have not been smooth, and there may not be a few people who want to follow in such footsteps. Besides, no matter how good a woman's talent is, there is no place for it, so why work so hard to learn! Useless things, learning is just a waste, it is better to learn a good embroidery of female workers, in the end there is still some use.

Therefore, several young ladies of the Ling family study relatively easily on weekdays. Especially the older Ling Xixi, who has been studying for many years, almost all of them have been learned, if they haven't learned it for so many years, there is no need to continue learning, compare, Ling Xixi's age, he is already going to say kiss, and the time in this family will not be too long.

After studying for a long time, the rules and manners have been integrated into the bones, and the things that are used every day will generally not make mistakes, and naturally even review can be avoided. However, female embroidery is naturally the more sophisticated the better, so I have been learning, or I have practiced slowly to understand it. There is no need to go to class anymore, that is, when you have occasional questions, you can ask your husband for advice. Or maybe the gentleman has assigned homework, and when it is done, just take it to the gentleman to see.

However, the younger Ling Keke, Ling Qianqian, and Ling Feifei still have to study seriously, although they don't have to go every day, they always have to go often.

"But I haven't learned female embroidery, I don't know if my husband will be willing to accept me!" Li Xin smiled. She didn't even study well as a female worker, so she went to learn embroidery, I don't know what will happen! Although I want to learn it, I don't want to learn embroidery all at once!

"It's okay, although Mr. is occasionally a little strict, he is a very peaceful person on weekdays, as long as my cousin is willing to study hard, Mr. will definitely not accept my cousin." Ling Xixi said with a smile.

"Xin Yao, just follow your sisters to take a look! It's time for your female worker to learn, but don't put it off again and again. In another year or two, you will start talking about kissing, and when the time comes, there will be no time to learn. Old Madam Ling also said with a smile, her face gentle and peaceful.

"Okay, then I'll go over with my cousin and cousin!" Li Xin nodded and agreed. In the Ling family, you must live for a long time, if you have nothing to do, it is really boring. Why don't you just learn what you need to learn? It should also be used to pass the time of boredom.

When I'm busy at home, I'm used to it, and suddenly I'm idle and don't do anything, and it's really boring! Speaking of which, it's still cheap, and when you're too busy, you hope that when you can be completely idle, it's good to do nothing. When I was really free, I felt that I was not comfortable anywhere, as if my body was going to rust.

Li Xin agreed, and it was not too early, so Mrs. Ling asked Haitang to accompany Li Xin and Ling Xixi together. Haitang is Mrs. Ling's eldest maid, and it would be better for Haitang to take Li Xin over.

After leaving Songhe Hall, a few people went to the place where the class was held. The place where Miss Ling's class is called Jijin Building, which is a small two-story building, which is very exquisitely furnished, and it looks like a place where women come.

Entering the Jijin Building, the maids of several young ladies of the Ling family were already waiting in the building with the things they needed for embroidery. The group entered the study place, and learning embroidery is a quiet process, so the place was arranged on the second floor. When I entered the door, it was really quiet inside, without any noise.

Someone was already here, Li Xin looked at it, it was Ling Keke, the second lady of the Ling family. Ling Keke was quietly embroidering a handkerchief by herself, and Ling Xixi, Ling Qianqian, and Ling Feifei all went to their respective positions and sat down.

Haitang took Li Xin to find Mr., who was in a compartment next to him, and he had not yet officially attended classes at this time, so Mr. had not come out yet.

The gentleman who taught embroidery to female workers was a middle-aged woman, surnamed Yan, who was said to be the successor of Su embroidery, and she was hired by the Ling family. The general embroiderer, is to have a good craft, generally will not do a lifetime, after all, embroidery all day is very hurtful to the eyes, people to middle age, the eyes will slowly not work. Some of them are too laborious, and some of them are even blind.

Therefore, the average embroidery lady still relies on her own craftsmanship to earn some money, and in the next few years, she will still be committed to teaching young ladies in rich and noble families. Just teaching is a very easy job, and there can be a lot of money, and many people are still willing.

"Mr. Tong, this is our cousin, who just returned to the house two days ago. Miss Biao has been living in exile and has not studied female workers well, and the old lady wants Mr. Tong to teach Miss Biao as well. Seeing Mr. Yu, Haitang said with a smile.

"Miss Begonia is here in person! Let the old lady rest assured! I will definitely teach Miss Biao well. However, what Miss Biao can learn depends on herself. ”

"Master led the way into the door, and the cultivation was personal. I understand this, as long as my husband is willing to teach, I will definitely study hard, and I ask my husband to give me advice. Li Xin smiled and saluted Mr. Yan.

"Miss Biao doesn't need to be polite, as long as Miss Cousin is willing to learn, I will definitely not hide my selfishness." Mr. Tong also smiled.

"Sir doesn't always need to call me Miss Cousin, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, just call me 'Xin Yao'!"

"Miss Xinyao." Mr. Tong is as good as a stream.

Soon, it was time for the class to start, and Mr. Yu took Xin Yao to the place where the class was held. Comparison is a person with a different foundation, so naturally it is not possible to take classes together, so Mr. Tong has always taught one by one. The main ones to teach are the younger Ling Qianqian and Ling Feifei. For the older Ling Keke and Ling Xixi, just use occasional pointers.

Mr. Yu took Xin Yao into the classroom, and Haitang said goodbye and left. Mr. Yu first checked the homework of some people, and then taught Ling Qianqian and Ling Feifei a few stitches. This is mainly to teach Li Xin, Li Xin has never learned, so Mr. Yu started to teach her from the simplest stitching.

After teaching the needle technique, Mr. Yu also brought her a piece of cloth and asked her to needle on it. At the beginning, I naturally didn't want to embroider anything, just let her embroider straight lines, as long as the stitches are neat and the stitch distance is consistent, it is okay. However, this is not easy, so it is necessary to practice a lot.

Let the students practice separately, and Mr. Yu went to the side to quietly embroider his own embroidery pictures. Li Xin paid attention to it, the embroidered cloth embroidered by Mr. Yu was very large, and it seemed that he should be embroidering a screen.

Just casually glanced at it, and felt that the embroidery picture was extremely exquisite, and the grass and trees, flowers and birds on it were so lifelike, and the embroidery was bright and bright. Before, Li Xin really didn't think about learning embroidery well, but at such a moment, she really felt that Mr. Yu was very powerful. The embroidery work is really good, I don't know when she will be able to learn the skills of Mr. Yicheng!

No matter what, you still have to study seriously, and I just hope that you can embroider a simple embroidery picture alone when you can!

I don't know how long I've been embroidering, my body is a little stiff, and my hands are very sore, so Li Xin has to take a break and rub his shoulders and arms. But suddenly I found that Mr. Yu was standing quietly beside her, so suddenly, I was really startled!

"Miss Xinyao, take a break! Although it is said that you should study seriously, however, you still have to have a rest time, embroidery is such a thing, and it still hurts your body if you don't move for a long time. Mr. Tong smiled.

"Thank you, sir."

"I'll teach you a few stitches, and you can practice them well when you go back. When I come back, bring it to me to check, and if I pass the test, I will continue to learn other stitches. ”

"Okay."

Next, Mr. Yu taught Li Xin a few more stitches. Before I knew it, a morning class was over. Li Xin said goodbye to several young ladies of the Ling family, and was about to go back to Caixia Pavilion.

"Afternoon class, is my cousin coming?" As soon as Li Xin was about to leave, Ling Feifei pulled her sleeve.

"Is everyone still coming to the afternoon class?" Li Xin looked at Ling Xixi a few.

"I'm coming over, cousin too!" Ling Qianqian smiled and nodded. R1152
