Chapter 195: Embroidery

The farm is busy, Zijun and they are going back to school, and the family can be a little more idle for a while.

I took two more silkworm seeds back, thinking that a few of them are now waiting to hatch silkworm seeds, and then continue to raise silkworms, and they can't feed so many mulberry leaves in the early stage, so it's quite easy.

After being busy for a while, she remembered something important, she said earlier that she wanted Xuan's to do embroidery, and then she was busy and didn't care about it, but now it is appropriate.

In the afternoon, Zijun and the others came back from school, and Siqi ran to pester him, "Big brother, can you give me a few pieces of paper?" ”

Zijun glanced at her, "What are you doing with paper?" ”

Siqi smiled, "I want to draw, can you give me some paper?" ”

Ancient papermaking technology is not developed, so paper is a very precious thing, pen, ink, paper and inkstone is a necessity for readers, none of these things are cheap, so it will be said that if you read badly, it is a waste of money.

Usually Siqi and several of them practice calligraphy with wooden sticks to write and draw on the ground, but she wants to draw patterns for Xuan's to see, so she can't draw for Xuan's on the ground, right?

Of course, Zijun is reluctant to take paper to draw, usually they write on the front and on the back, and a piece of paper must be unusable before changing it.

But his sister asked him for it, and he would give it even if he was reluctant, and he wouldn't even say that he was wasting, this is a good brother.

He took three pieces of paper from his schoolbag and gave them to Siqi and asked her, "Is it enough?" ”

Siqi hurriedly nodded, "Enough is enough, big brother, I will definitely save it, don't worry, I will earn a lot of money to buy paper and write for you in the future." ”

Of course she knew that Zijun was distressed, but even so, she still gave her the paper, and Siqi was moved in her heart, he was really a good brother.

She took the paper and pen and hurried back to her room, drawing on it with the pen.

When she was a child, she also took a painting extracurricular interest class, and it was still difficult for her to paint, although she didn't paint well, but it was much better than the average person.

She pondered and pondered, and drew some novel patterns on the paper, which were not seen by people at this time, and also conformed to the aesthetics of this time, in order to save paper, several patterns were drawn on a piece of paper.

Si Yao came in from outside, saw her lying on the table, and smiled, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Sister, do you see if this looks good, if it is made into embroidery and sold, it will definitely sell for a lot of money, right?"

Si Yao picked it up and looked at it seriously, her eyes lit up, "If this is embroidered into a handkerchief and made into a purse, it must look good, it's all you thought of?" ”

Siqi nodded, "I'm just thinking about it myself, I watched you work hard to make embroidery, and I thought about how to make more money, the craft is not practiced overnight, but you can change the pattern." ”

Si Yao said with a smile, "These new patterns are really good-looking, but I can't embroider, show my mother, she and my aunt have good craftsmanship, and they will definitely be able to embroider." ”

Do embroidery also have to cost ah, cloth needlework have to buy their own back, if you are not familiar with the pattern really dare not embroider on the handkerchief.

If this is ruined by embroidery, the handkerchief will also be ruined, so Wanrong and Siyao will not make such a new pattern, they have to have the same craftsmanship as the Xuan's and them.

It's about to be dinner at this time, Xuan's is busy, and Siqi can't bother her, so he said with a smile, "I'll show her tomorrow when my mother is free." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you too, listen to what my mother says, if I learn it, I'll embroider this in the future, okay?"

Siqi nodded, "Of course it's good, my sister should make more money." ”

The next day, Jun and the others went to school, and after the work outside the family was over, Xuan and Liu got together to embroider.

Last time, those embroideries really sold a lot of silver, and the two of them didn't dare to delay now, as long as they had time, they picked up the needle and thread to embroider a few stitches.

Farmers often have work to do, no day is really idle, you have to seize these time to do these odd jobs to earn some money, how good it is to have income at home, it is better than to keep the grain produced by dozens of acres of land to live.

Liu and Xuan have always been together, Siqi can't go over, she is so young, how can she explain to Liu how to draw these patterns?

You don't have to hide so tightly in front of Si Yao, you have to pay attention to it in front of adults.

Halfway through the Liu family went to the thatched house, Siqi found an opportunity, and Si Yao was not there at this time, just right.

She hurriedly went to Xuan's house and shouted with a smile, "Mother, I've drawn all the patterns, you can take a look." ”

When Xuan's saw her coming, he quickly put down the needle and thread in his hand, took it and looked at it, his eyes lit up, "Qi'er, these are all shown to you by the old woman in your dream?" ”

Siqi nodded obediently, "Yes, that's it, I can still remember, mother, I can't draw well, can you understand?" ”

"Understand, of course you can see it, these patterns are really novel enough, and they are also very good-looking, if they are made into embroidery and sold, the price will definitely be high."

Siqi smiled, "That's good, the old woman said, she just wants to help our family live a good life, let me not be afraid of her, just listen to her obediently." ”

Xuan's whispered, "It's good if your son is not afraid, if you are afraid, you will come to find your father, and your father and mother are here." ”

She was afraid that the child would dream of something bad at night, and these things were really uncertain, even if so far, the old woman had not caused any harm to her son, but she was still not at ease.

If she had a choice, she certainly hoped that her children would not go through this, even if the family had been living in poverty, it would be worth it.

Siqi smiled and said, "Mother, I know, I'm not afraid." ”

The Liu family was also about to come back, and Siqi hurriedly left from the Xuan family's room, and it didn't matter to her what happened after that.

Xuan's naturally wouldn't take out these patterns at this time, and it took a few days to do needlework with Liu's before she took out the drawings.

"I pondered it myself, drew a few patterns, sister-in-law to see how it is, if we use these to make embroidery, the price should be better."

Liu took it and looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's really good-looking, brother and sister, it's still your brain that is easy to use, and if you can come up with these novel patterns, I can't, I can only embroider those old patterns." ”

Xuan's smiled, "Sister-in-law just thinks it's good-looking, I'm still worried that this won't work, let's try it, embroider some of this, and sell it next time to see if the price can be higher." ”

Liu nodded, "Okay, just embroider according to your pattern, this is really good-looking, it will definitely sell well." ”
