Chapter 327: Material Selection

The tricks of the Song Sect are still quite useful. Xie Mulin didn't plan to become famous with his female celebrity skills, and he didn't really want to spend a lot of time practicing needlework and weaving, which made the cervical spine uncomfortable, his eyesight affected, and he was tired, and he couldn't create any economic value.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that even if her family was completely defeated one day, and the family would have a problem even eating, and she had to find a way to support her family, she didn't have to rely on needlework and weaving to make a living, and some had ways to make money. It's not that you can't endure hardship, but from the perspective of cost performance, it is really inefficient to make money in ancient society with the skills of female celebrities on the bad street.

Xie Mulin would rather spend more time reading, practicing calligraphy, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., than spending too much energy on female celebrities.

However, considering the current mainstream of society, the requirements for women's female celebrity skills are still a bit high, and Xie Mulin doesn't want to be ridiculed for his shortcomings in this regard, so he can only put a shell of "needlework is okay" for himself, and strive to improve his female celebrity level. As long as you can reach the average level of the average boudoir woman and don't be laughed at, it's almost the same. She didn't expect that she would become a famous embroiderer or anything, and she brushed her presence in female red. Even if she had been skilled in cross-stitch and ribbon embroidery, she did not think that she could make a name for herself in ancient times.

Wen's skills in female celebrity are very good, embroidery, weaving, brocade, silk, tailoring, all proficient, but it is just a high level of ordinary people in the boudoir, far from everyone's level. Her style of embroidery is also biased towards the common type of world, and the fat powder is heavy, and only the needlework for her husband Xie Pu will bring a little literati atmosphere. She taught her daughter embroidery and needlework since she was a child, and they all followed this path. If Xie Mulin wants to learn from her, he can only spend time to make all kinds of embroidery, big and small, and practice day after day.

Xie Mulin didn't want to take this path, but now Song gave her another choice.

This choice does not mean that she can be lazy from now on, because embroidering some calligraphy and painting with a literati atmosphere, if she does not pass the basic skills, she will also be laughed at. But as long as her embroidery level is raised, and then she embroiders some different works, shows off in front of people, and proves that her female celebrity kung fu is not worse than others, then she can save a lot of effort!

She could spend a year and a half embroidering just one picture. When others urged her, she said that this kind of work needs to be carefully carved and not impatient, which is different from handkerchiefs and sachets on the bad street. As long as the results are good in the end, who can force her to do all kinds of common little needlework?

Moreover, as long as she is stained with a bit of literati atmosphere, even if she embroiders a single flower, the whole cloth is empty, it is also blank, subtle, and elegant, who is like the Cao family, I can't wait to embroider the whole cloth full of flowers and birds, saying that it is rich and noble, but it is actually vulgar!

When Xie Mulin thought of this, he couldn't help but smile secretly, feeling that he still had hope to be lazy.

Li'er whispered to her, "Girl, you get up and stand forward a little." ”

Xie Mulin got up and walked a few steps forward, only to know that Li'er didn't know what to fiddle with behind her, and she didn't pay attention, and she thought about what kind of pattern she should embroider.

There are too many literati paintings, she can't learn from other people's Gu embroidery, and really embroider the embroidery paintings that have been handed down from generation to generation, right? She doesn't have that ability. In modern times, she really didn't learn a little bit of Chinese embroidery techniques, even if she wanted to borrow the new techniques created by the "future" embroidery masters, she couldn't learn from them. And the Xie family has no famous calligraphers and painters, and her own level of Chinese painting, that is, the foundation of the interest class in elementary school, is difficult to get into the elegant hall. Among the four brothers, there may be one or two people who have a little talent in this area, but God knows how many years it will take until they are fully painted?

Be conservative, like your grandmother Song, she worked the theme of the four gentlemen of "Meilan Juzhu"? But the four kinds of flowers also take time...... Actually, it's good to specialize in one type of flower. Throughout the ages, painting a single theme can become a famous painter, and there are many of them!

Plum blossom? Well...... Song's only daughter, Xie Meijun, with the word "plum" in her name, her favorite in her life is also plum blossoms, she usually loves to paint plum blossoms, embroiders and loves to embroider plum blossoms, and her clothes and jewelry often bring plum blossom factors, even if she eats a snack, she also likes to make plum blossom shapes. Xie Mulin felt that if he chose this theme, he would collide with Xie Meijun, which didn't seem to be very good......

Orchids are good, but the Xie family doesn't have any good orchids, and if you can't see real orchids, how can you draw the essence of orchids? Moreover, among the literati paintings, there are quite a few orchids as the theme, and there is no foundation, Xie Mulin is really not confident that he can embroider amazing embroidery paintings.

Chrysanthemum...... In fact, it's okay, but the painting and embroidery are more complicated, and there are seasonal restrictions. If she can plant chrysanthemums in the future and make some achievements, she can consider it.

Bamboo is very good, both profound and relatively common, and can be used for four festivals a year. Xie Mulin stared at the phoenix-tailed bamboo that crossed over from the courtyard of his brother Xie Jinzhi next door on the wall outside the window, thinking that his family was very qualified and put more effort into bamboo painting. In the textbook of the Chinese painting interest class in her study space, there is also a whole bamboo album, which is selected from the bamboo paintings of famous artists in the past, although the album is a little thin, but it is enough for her to imitate for a long time.

Lotus flowers are also good, but they are usually only suitable in summer and autumn, and they are too limited.

The pine and cypress imply evergreen, and it is good to give it to the elderly, and it can also be used to make needlework for his father and brother, but the color change is relatively monotonous, and there are few materials for reference.

Speaking of which, it's okay to embroider calligraphy. She may not be able to practice calligraphy herself to the point of entering the house, but she has a lot of calligraphy masters, and she can't write it, can't she embroider it?! She can not choose those difficult lines of calligraphy, cursive, only in the seal, subordinate, Kai can also work.

The more Xie Mulin thought about it, the more he felt that he had a bright future, and he didn't have to practice how to embroider flowers and grass embroidered birds every day, she just learned how to weave, and she didn't need to study too deeply!

Xie Mulin couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, and Li'er's voice came from behind him: "What is the girl thinking?" So happy all of a sudden? ”

Xie Mulin coughed and put away his smile: "It's nothing...... What are you doing? ”

Li'er handed the skirt in her hand to Cuijiao beside her, took another skirt, and gestured to Xie Mulin's waist: "The girl is going to change into autumn clothes, these are a few sets of old autumn clothes made when I was in Beijing last year." The girl has grown a lot taller this year, and her old skirts are a little shorter. I'll compare the girl to see how much I want to grow. ”

"Oh, I don't go out very often on weekdays, and a few changes of clothes are pretty much enough. If there are many, not too old ones, give a few to the sisters in the clan who are from poorer families. Xie Mulin didn't ask much, turned his head and continued to think about his female celebrity plan.

Li'er agreed, and took a skirt and gestured it to Xie Mulin's waist, feeling a little reluctant. The skirts made by the girl in the capital are made of good materials, which are rare in Huyin, and the embroidery on the top is also made by a very good embroiderer, so it will be a pity to give it away? Can a girl still wear it......

The three of them were busy working, and they saw Xie Xianzhi's girl Calamus running in from outside the courtyard gate in a hurry, and shouted to Xie Mulin: "Second girl, our young master has received a letter from the eldest lady again, tell you to go and see it quickly!" ”
