Chapter 144: What the hell is this?
As Wu Zetian's messenger, Shangguan Wan'er set off early in the morning.
When I arrived in Mengxi, I saw that camellia and mulberry trees were planted everywhere in the vast expanse of light.
Many of these camellia and mulberry trees were transplanted from other places, and there were people who supervised the work, and the farmers played with them according to the rules.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the strangeness, and saw that someone had built a big shed in the distance, and the shed was made of giant wood as a beam, but it was piled up with some bricks and stones, pasted with mud, and it was impermeable, she didn't know what to do, but she just wanted to find Qin Shaoyou, so she didn't stay, and when she arrived at the Mengxi camp, she saw that the camp was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was already several miles away, relying on the river like a long snake to occupy the upstream and downstream.
There must be water at the edge of the camp, this is common sense, and although this method of building a camp is not easy to defend, it is very convenient in life, obviously, Qin Shaoyou's camp is intended to be permanent.
In the camp, the horns of the bulls whined, and the hooves and shouts of horses were incessant, and the atmosphere of the drill was very heavy.
A ranger came from afar, shouting, "Who is coming?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er sat in the car, lifted the curtain, and revealed star-like eyes: "This official is ordered to see your captain Qin Shaoyou, please come out to meet him." ”
The ranger relaxed his guard a little, but scratched his head and said, "The captain is not in the camp. ”
"Where's that?"
"...... in the Women's Red Square"
"What......" Shangguan Wan'er was slightly stunned.
Female Red ...... What the hell is this?
She hesitated slightly.
The ranger said: "It's not far away, just after that slope, let's take a female officer." ”
He beat his horse in front of him and slowly moved forward, and Shangguan Wan'er had to lower the curtain and let the car follow in unison.
After a hillside, the ranger pointed to a large stone shed in front of him, and said, "There it is, but there are rules here, and men are not allowed to approach it easily." Whoever disobeys the order will be whipped up. So-and-so can only be sent here. ”
Men are not allowed to approach ......
But why is Qin Shaoyou there...... He's not a man?
Shangguan Wan'er was full of doubts, so she simply got out of the car, ordered the coachman and the guards to wait here, and then went downhill.
When I got close to the big shed, I heard many women's voices coming from inside.
"Captain Qin, you think this is a good ......"
"Aunt Liu...... You can't do this, we have to follow the rules. Look at me. ”
"This is not a skill, Qin Duwei, my female celebrity has always been good......"
"Liu Niangzi, the problem is not in the craftsmanship, there must be rules, you look at me, you have to use needles like this, the emphasis is on convenience and speed......"
Shangguan Wan'er frowned, this Qin Shaoyou really didn't grow up. I'm really full of food......
She was about to raise her legs to go in, but she heard Li Lingyue's voice, Li Lingyue shouted: "Look at how my embroidery ......"
"Your Highness is well embroidered. Sure enough, he is smart and benevolent, and he can understand it at one point. ”
"That'...... Can this be sold for money? ”
Qin Shaoyou's voice seemed very hesitant: "Your Highness, let's keep it for yourself." As a souvenir. ”
Li Lingyue said in a slightly dissatisfied voice: "This palace is to sell for money......"
"Uh......"
"This palace knows that you don't think I'm good at embroidery, right? It's really duplicitous, I knew you weren't something. ”
Princess Taiping is here again......
Recently, Princess Taiping and Qin Shaoyou have been very close.
Shangguan Wan'er kept her thoughts, but her face was calm, but her bright eyes slightly skipped a hint of displeasure, she raised her legs and went in, but she found that there were many people inside, most of them were sitting behind the case, and the most important thing is. It's mostly all women, old and young.
And Qin Shaoyou was demonstrating the use of needles with a middle-aged woman. He pinched the embroidery needle, looking very serious, pinching the needle and flying on a piece of cloth, the woman looked intently at Qin Shaoyou's needle, and was still reading in her mouth: "So that's it, it's too simple...... It's so easy......"
Li Lingyue was sitting on the side, probably because Qin Shaoyou had offended her, and was looking at Qin Shaoyou coldly.
There is an embroidery in front of her case, and as for the workmanship, it is naturally miserable if Shangguan Wan'er takes a closer look.
Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward and coughed.
Qin Shaoyou was alarmed by the sound, panicked for a while, and sighed, but he pierced his finger, so he hurriedly lost the needle, put his finger in his mouth and sucked it, squeezed his eyebrows for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Shangguan waits for the edict, you really scared me." ”
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Qin Shaoyou expressionlessly, and said, "Qin Duwei is really elegant. ”
"Where, where, Shangguan waited for the edict to smile." Qin Shaoyou looked very modest: "Isn't this serving the imperial court." ”
Shangguan Wan'er raised her eyebrows: "Oh, it turns out that Du Wei embroidered for the imperial court?" ”
Qin Shaoyou coughed and said, "This is nature. ”
Shangguan Wan'er picked up a piece of cloth for embroidery, but she couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but say, "What is this?" ”
Everyone understands embroidery, even Shangguan Wan'er, how much she knows a little bit of female red, it is nothing more than embroidering on a piece of cloth, but when she picked up this cloth, she found something different, this cloth is a little rough, the texture is relatively thick, and what is even more strange is that on this cloth, flowers and birds have been painted, and the painting style of flowers and birds is very new.
Qin Shaoyou said with a smile: "This is a new thing called cross-stitch, which is different from ordinary embroidery, come, come, come, let's go inside and talk about it in detail." ”
Li Lingyue on the side looked a little dissatisfied, but she pretended not to hear it, and just buried her head in playing with the embroidery needle.
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Li Lingyue meaningfully, but pretended not to see Li Lingyue, moved her legs, and went to the back room separated by a felt cloth first. ”
Shangguan Wan'er pinched the embroidered cloth in her hand and said, "This, don't ask, I want to ask you, what is this cross-stitch?" ”
"This ......" Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly and said: "Cross-stitch is nothing more than drawing flowers and birds on my kind of cloth in advance, and then using a needle according to the pattern on this painting, whatever color is painted on it, what color of thread is used, you see, it is probably like this, it is very simple." ”
"It's just...... You are a captain, and you don't train for a long time, but you are thinking about what to do? ”
Qin Shaoyou said: "Make money." ”
"Earn money...... Of course, this can make money, but ...... How many can you earn? ”
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and sighed: "Do you know how many eaters I have here, and how many eaters are there in the Henan Provincial Unity Camp?" Most of these people have wives and daughters, if they are allowed to sit at home, of course, they can also be popular, but after all, it is just a little bit of money to subsidize the family, but I called them all together, in the past, they embroidered, oh, it is ordinary embroidery, and they can't embroider a few pieces all year round, and they can sell for a few dollars, there are three reasons here, do you want to listen? ”
Shangguan Wan'er had no choice but to say, "Tell me about it." ”
Qin Shaoyou said: "First, they are not full-time, and it is difficult to be familiar with them if they are not full-time, so they are usually busy, occasionally idle, and then stab a few times, Shangguan waits for the edict to think about it, the things in this world are probably practice makes perfect, and the skills of full-time and idle are completely different." Just like the former solidarity battalion, if you don't practice in normal times, you can have some combat power if you cram, but once you practice full-time, you can't talk about it. In the past, they could only embroider a few pieces a year, and sometimes they could be used for their own use, and the excess could not be sold, but now, when they are gathered, embroidered day after day, this skill and speed can be very different, the kind of embroidery in the past, a year, can be pierced more than 30 pieces, and the output can be increased tenfold. ”
Zai Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "There is more." ”
Qin Shaoyou said again: "But this alone is not enough, so I drummed up this cross-stitch, cross-stitch is different from ordinary embroidery, ordinary embroidery, is your freewheeling embroidery, and cross-stitch, but according to the pattern on the cloth to embroider, do not need to consider the layout, do not need to consider what to embroider, do not need to think about what thread to use, what embroidery method to use, just need to follow the step-by-step can, in this way, the output can be increased several times, the same is a pair of embroidery, the previous embroidery day and night rush to embroider thirty pieces a year, and this cross-stitch, One person can embroider hundreds. What do you think of the edict? ”
Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but nodded: "It seems that there is some truth, this cross-stitch is indeed much simpler." ”
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said: "This third point is the most important, usually a woman nests in her own home, relying on her own imagination to be a female celebrity, their vision is very limited after all, I have seen many women's embroidery, how to say, the pattern on this is really nothing new, and even many are ridiculous, can this alone be sold for a price?" After all, most of the people who buy embroidery are big families, and the things in the pictures of people are the patterns drawn by your villagers? This cross-stitch is different, I specially invited a painter to conceive the most up-to-date pattern, and then asked the painter to paint it on this cross-stitch, so that the women can thread the needle and thread step by step. ”
What Qin Shaoyou reveals is a very simple truth, which is nothing more than that these women are in a closed environment, both their vision and imagination are limited, and the people who consume embroidery are often big families, and people can look up to you? This is like, in the later generations, let a group of people in the mountains cut clothes, and these people, who have never been out of the mountains, still expect the style of their clothes to be favored by the rich? If you make a pair of liberation shoes, do you want to sell them for a lot of money?
