Qin Chuxue did not live in the big courtyard of the embroidery workshop, but in an independent small courtyard next to the north of the embroidery workshop, the yard is not big, but for some reason, the first feeling to Zeng Rong is deserted, followed by old.

The mottled brick walls, the dead grass swaying in the wind between the brick walls, the painted door frames and windows, the yellowed window paper, and the dilapidated curtains hanging on the doors, if he didn't know where he was standing, Zeng Rong wouldn't have been able to hang this house and the palace anyway, this was obviously more broken than where they embroidered girls lived.

What is the identity of this Aunt Qin, and why is she so wronged by herself?

Also, when I heard Zeng Rong say the word "sad" that day, why did he have such a big reaction.

"Let's go, let's go inside." Liu Chunmiao saw Zeng Rong looking at the scene in the courtyard, sighed slightly, and said.

Zeng Rong followed her to the door, Liu Chunmiao did not directly lift the curtain and went in, but stood outside and asked loudly: "Qin Si, I brought Zeng Rong here." ”

"Come in." This voice sounded calm, without sorrow or joy, but Zeng Rong inexplicably felt a sour tip of his nose.

As for entering the house, because of the door curtain, the light of the hall is a little dim, Rao is so, Zeng Rong also saw the simplicity of this room, the north wall is an offering table, on which a sitting statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined, there is a stove at the corner of the east and west walls, which is used for cooking and burning the kang, one is piled up next to a firewood, next to the firewood is a water tank, and the other is a cabinet next to the stove, which should be used to put dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Chunmiao did not linger in the hall, and opened the curtain of the east room, and Zeng Rong had to follow her in.

This room is obviously brighter than the hall house because of the window, and there is also a big kang under the window, Qin Chuxue is sitting cross-legged on the kang, and is bowing his head to draw patterns.

Seeing Liu Chunmiao and Zeng Rong coming in, she didn't even raise her head, and said directly: "Come and sit on the kang, I still have two strokes." ”

"Yes." After Liu Chunmiao finished speaking, she motioned Zeng Rong to go to the kang, she reached out and touched the teapot with a cloth pocket on the other kang table, and when she saw that it was empty, she touched the kang mat again, and turned around and went outside.

Zeng Rong was embarrassed to sit down, and also went outside, seeing that Liu Chunmiao took a few sticks and stuffed firewood into the stove, Zeng Rong took the initiative to take over the job.

Liu Chunmiao was not polite to Zeng Rong, turned around and took a scoop to the water tank, scooped some water into the pot and poured it into the pot.

Because there was not much water, it was quickly opened, and Liu Chunmiao went into the house again to bring out the porcelain pot, and I don't know where she found some tea, and soon smelled a smell of tea.

"Alright, you can come in too." Liu Chunmiao carried the teapot into the east room.

Smelling the fragrance of tea, Qin Chuxue raised her head and glanced at Liu Chunmiao, "You don't have to do this work, Xiaocui should come back." ”

"It doesn't matter, whoever does it doesn't do it." Liu Chunmiao said as she handed Qin Chuxue a cup of hot tea, and then poured a cup for herself and Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong took the tea and took a sip, she tasted it, this tea is like green tea in southern Fujian, one bite in, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, the aftertaste is sweet and fresh, if you are not mistaken, it should have reached the tribute level.

This is really strange, the person in front of him obviously looks so defeated, but there is a majesty in his words, the utensils in the room are obviously very vulgar, and the tea drinks are so high-end.

Also, in terms of status, Liu Chunmiao is only one level lower than Qin Chuxue, but Liu Chunmiao is actually willing to put down the shelf and do all kinds of rough work here, and judging by his proficiency, Su Ri must have done a lot of it.

Who is this Qin Chuxue?

"Come up and sit down, I have something to say to you." Qin Chuxue saw Zeng Rong standing stupidly in front of the edge of the kang and said.

Zeng Rong saw that Liu Chunmiao was on the kang, hesitated for a moment, and sat down sideways next to her on the edge of the kang, without getting on the kang.

"I've seen the uppers you embroidered, and they're really good, and you came up with those patterns yourself?" Qin Chuxue didn't persuade her again, she took a sip of hot tea with a cup and asked.

"Aunt Huiqin, yes."

"Embroidered before?"

Zeng Rong nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"I heard you talk that day, it seems that I have read a lot of books?"

"Back to my aunt, I don't have much, I just like to read."

Qin Chuxue smiled and handed the pattern she had just drawn to Zeng Rong, "Come and see, is there anything wrong with this pattern?" ”

"This?" Zeng Rong was a little frightened, and it was not that he didn't pick it up.

Let's not talk about whether she can see what the problem is, just ask her if she has the courage to evaluate?

"It's okay, your Aunt Qin must have been unable to find inspiration for a while, you can help her, if you have any ideas, just say it." Liu Chunmiao said gently.

She was afraid that Zeng Rong would not tell the truth.

Zeng Rong heard her say this, so he had to pick up this pattern, this is a pattern of a phoenix wearing a peony, several red and pink peonies compete for beauty, the head of the phoenix falls in the peony bush, the tail has a total of nine tails, the nine tails are different, depending on the size of the pattern, it should be embroidered on the clothes.

Zeng Rong took a closer look, but he really couldn't find any problems, "Back to the two aunts, this trick is very good, I really don't see anything wrong." ”

At this time, she vaguely guessed that these patterns were prepared for the queen, and they should be the daily regular dress patterns, and the serious court clothes were said to be made from the Jiangnan area and sent directly, those patterns were too complicated, and they also had their own unique embroidery methods, and the general embroidery girl would not be at all.

"Have you ever painted a phoenix wearing a peony?" Qin Chuxue changed the topic.

Zeng Rong hesitated.

She did paint, but she didn't dare to say that she could paint, for fear that the other party would not be able to tell if she asked; But on the other hand, she wanted to leave a good impression on the other party, and she had a faint feeling that the identity of this Aunt Qin was not simple.

Not only is the identity not simple, but the person is not simple, no, Zeng Rong only hesitated for a moment, and the other party saw through it at once, "That's it, you come up to the kang and draw a picture and I'll take a look." ”

When Liu Chunmiao heard this, she didn't wait for Zeng Rong to speak, so she got off the kang first, "I'm afraid that the painting will not be good for a while, I have to go to the workshop, and the workshop will start urging the goods again." ”

"It's okay, if you're busy, you don't have to come over, I'll ask Xiaocui to send her back when I go back." Qin Chuxue nodded.

After Liu Chunmiao left, Zeng Rong sat in her place, the pen and paper were ready-made, Zeng Rong took the things to his side, and when he was concentrating on the idea, Qin Chuxue took the book and leaned on the kang to read it.

I don't know how long it took, when Zeng Rongzheng was halfway through the painting, there was a sudden movement outside, and then a palace maid in her twenties wearing a bean-green cotton robe came in, the palace maid held a particularly delicate and small hand stove in her hand, and was just about to open her mouth after entering the door, when she saw that there was an outsider in the room, she quickly closed her mouth, walked directly to the kang, and stuffed the hand stove to Qin Chuxue.
