Chapter 9 Seed Embroidery
The top Xiyue girl was in her own Lanting Fang on the third floor of the Tingli Pavilion at this time, and she was waiting for Xiao Qingwen who was summoned to come upstairs quickly.
Looking out according to the window, the willows on the moon, the red lights and shadows flowing on the water, the pavilions and pavilions standing upside down in the water, Suzhou Creek really has a unique style and posture.
Listen to the downstairs of the Oriole Pavilion, the figures of thousands of people, the staggered voices, the tunes of dumb and mocking, and the Jinling dream of drunken fans...... Endlessly, tonight's big drama is about to begin.
"Everyone is so greedy for pleasure and deceiving themselves in peace, who else will remember the old saying of recovering lost land?!" Thinking of this, Xiyue showed a cold and arrogant smile in her thoughts, but this smile was full of the pain of losing the country.
The pain is in my heart, and I can't tell how I can tell it.
"Since the Southern Zhou Dynasty moved its capital to Jinling, it has been many years, and a group of officials of the former Great Zhou Dynasty who went south seem to have regained the feeling of the former Great Zhou Dynasty in supporting the new monarch. Xiyue thought to herself: "It seems that you want to be at peace forever." ”
Although she is a daughter, although she is the top brand of the most glamorous and beautiful place in Jinling, Miss Xiyue "hates that boys don't go out". Xiyue was distracted, Xiao Qingwen came upstairs lightly, and entered the workshop with a curtain, and whispered to the girl, interrupting Xiyue's uneven mood.
Qingwen saw that Miss Xiyue was dressed in a white dress and white dress at this time, the crested jade inlaid with gold hairpins had been inserted into the cloud temples smeared with rose cream, and the purple flower juice on her nails had not yet dried, so she knew that the preparations before going on stage had not yet been completed.
"I wonder what the girl commands?" asked Qingwen.
"Qingwen, there was something wrong with my outfit before I came to the stage, and in a hurry, I searched for someone who could make up for it, but no one was up to the task. In a hurry, somehow, I couldn't help but think of my mother's usual praise for your small hands, being measured, being able to respond to emergencies, and making things work to perfection. Therefore, I specially called someone to summon you over, just to ....." Xiyue said, walked into the inner room, and after a while, took out a silk satin dress.
Qingwen took it with both hands and couldn't help but look at it carefully.
"Huh?" Qingwen's bright eyes flashed with excitement.
"What?" Xiyue asked softly as she looked at Qingwen who was surprised.
"Tell the girl, this dress is a treasure. ”
"Qingwen, although you are small, your knowledge is not necessarily short. Since you think this is a treasure, then, tell this girl what kind of treasure method it is. "Xiyue really wants to take the opportunity to test the ability of this little guy Qingwen, whether it is really as rumored.
"This is the official uniform that Fujin is qualified to wear. Xiao Qingwen replied seriously and clearly: "Cyan-color-satin, beating-seed-embroidery, peony is rich, butterflies flying, and keeping a safe court dress and gown." ”
"Oh, can it be said that this suit is so exquisite?!" Miss Xiyue was silent on her face, but she secretly applauded in her heart.
"Because they are the wives or mothers of adults above the rank of first-class officials, they are qualified to wear such clothes, which are used as ceremonial clothes for festivals and court peace. I collect it on weekdays, so I don't wear it easily. ”
When Qingwen said this, she saw Miss Xiyue smile inscrupulably.
"Because it is an official uniform, it is particularly particular about workmanship. Let's say the seeded embroidery on this one," Qingwen pointed to the embroiderer on the peony flower, and said, "Girl, please see, how realistic this embroidery is, as if a living flower is blooming on satin, fresh and watery." If you wear this satin skirt and walk, because our woman is a three-inch golden lotus, the walking range is small, leisurely swinging, the satin shakes, the peony embroidered on the satin seems to be stretching the petals, fresh blooming, it is really beautiful. When Qingwen said this, a look of intoxication appeared on her little face.
Xiyue was silent, but nodded yes.
"It is precisely because it is an official uniform, it pays special attention to regulation, pays attention to dignity and humility, listen to my father, in the past when the north and the south were unified and a complete Zhou Dynasty was strong, only a first-class official could match such an embroidery method. ”
"What kind of embroidery?"
"It's 'seed embroidery'," Qingwen took out the embroidery bag she carried with her, took out a needle and a small piece of embroidered cloth stretched on the hammer, and wanted to show it to Xiyue, explaining first: "I come from a family in Liyuan, and the troupe rehearses and acts, and there are always a lot of backstage work that needs to be repaired on weekdays, so I have developed the habit of carrying embroidery bags with me and sewing them at any time since I was a child." ”
Xiyue listened to Qingwen's words and fell in love with this girl even more.
Before each needle, the needle must be used to pick the silk thread, tie a knot at the end of the thread, hold it, and the knot is attached to the satin surface, which looks like a "melon seed". Girl, please see, does this seed embroidery look very rich, lively, and full?"
The hammer in Qingwen's hand has been embroidered with a cucumber by her delicate hand, and there is a melon on it, which is really about to come out.
