Chapter 16 Dragon Boat Festival Embroidery
Because Ruan Minh Yu didn't have dinner in the courtyard, he could finish work earlier when the kitchen prepared people's meals. Li Jingshan waited for everyone to finish eating, cleaned up the kitchen, and then packed the rest of the food to take home.
Young Master Ruan is particular about eating fresh food every day, and no overnight dishes are left, which is cheaper for the people who help in the kitchen. Sister-in-law Zhang knew that Li Jingshan's family was not good, so she took extra care of her, leaving the work of cleaning up the kitchen to her, which was also convenient for her to help the family from time to time.
In this way, Li Jingshan can finally see some meat on the dining table at home from time to time.
After dinner, Li Jingshan unfolded the drawing book under the lamp, scribbled, and wrote.
Li Jingjue finished her homework according to her mother's request, touched it and looked at it, and smiled happily: "Sister, these zongzi you painted are so cute, I want my mother to help me embroider a Dragon Boat Festival sachet like this!" β
When Mrs. Li heard this, she also put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at it. I couldn't help but smile at a glance, "You should be called a zongzi baby." β
I saw the triangular zongzi on the painting book, the edges and corners were painted round and smooth, looking chubby, and there were eyebrows and eyes on it, with rich expressions, some smiling, some frowning, some squinting, some closed their eyes and drooled, and a zongzi shyly took off half of the brown clothes, revealing the white glutinous inside...... They are all cute and cute.
Li Jingshan said, "Today, Sister Zhang said that she should prepare some embroidery for the Dragon Boat Festival, I think the best thing to sell during the Dragon Boat Festival is purses and sachets. β
She looked at the seven or eight images of zongbao that had been in the picture book, and she also felt interesting, and said with a smile on the corner of her lips: "You can also make a series, a set of five, if you buy the whole set, you can give a preferential price." β
Mrs. Li also smiled, "That's a good idea." In addition to zongzi babies, you can also draw some patterns of five poisons, if you also bring eyebrows and eye expressions, it is also a coincidence. β
"You can also wear them in a string and make different combinations!" Li Jingjue also shouted on the side!
The three of you and I discussed with each other, and Li Jingshan quickly sketched out those cute images. Those anthropomorphic cute image patterns are not difficult to draw, Li Jingshan has ready-made patterns to follow in her mind, and soon drew more than a dozen patterns, and adjusted the color matching, and finally divided into four or five series, some dignified, some witty, and some cute.
Looking at those design drafts, Li Jingshan was vaguely looking forward to seeing the finished product on the market.
The next day, the embroidery lady gave her the embroidery thread ordered by Li Jingshan, and she and Mrs. Li were busy working and made those Dragon Boat Festival embroideries. A few days later, Li Jingshan sent the 30 pieces of Dragon Boat Festival embroidery to Zhang Qiaoyan's embroidery village.
Zhang Qiaoyan saw it and liked it very much, and praised these patterns for being interesting and creative, and it seemed that they were not worried about selling.
"Ordinary sachets are thirty wen each, and I will help you set the price for forty wen. If it sells well, you can embroider more. β
Li Jingshan secretly calculated, excluding the cost and rental commission, each sachet can net twenty yuan. It is twice as much as making embroidery by piecework. I was happy in my heart, and I thanked Zhang Qiaoyan.
Coming out of Xiuzhuang, Li Jingshan walked on the road and felt that the sun was brighter than before.
She even thought that if she saved some more money, she would be able to send her younger brother to study in the school again. Li Jingjue has always wanted to take the imperial examination in the past, to be like the Qingtian lord in the opera, to ask for the people's lives and share worries for the monarch.
Li Jingshan thought about her thoughts, so she walked to the door of Si Zhenfang unconsciously.
Si Zhenfang is actually on the way home in the east of the city. It's just that since the accident, Li Jingshan has always consciously avoided this land, and would rather take a long detour than pass in front of it, so she hasn't come here for some days. As soon as I was relaxed today, I subconsciously walked on the familiar road and came here.
There is some sand piled up in front of the Si Zhen Fang, and the craftsmen are constantly coming and going, and they are actually repairing the faΓ§ade. Before each change of the head of the company, the faΓ§ade will be renovated to show the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
Li Jingshan stood still, looked at the busy and lively storefront coldly, and knew that her nominal second uncle would soon officially take charge of the seal of Si Zhenfang.
She looked at it for a while, turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard that nasty voice calling her behind her, "Isn't this Jingshan's niece?"
It's Li Zhixuan!
Li Jingshan's back straightened, she took a deep breath, and then slowly turned around, trying her best to hold up a decent smile, "My niece hasn't congratulated the second uncle yet." β
Li Zhixuan also said kindly: "I haven't been here for a long time, although you don't care about the business here, it's okay to come back and have a look." β
Before Li Jingshan could reply, Li Jingyao came out of the store and sneered in a sharp voice: "Is she embarrassed to come back?" Come back and see how her father brought shame to the family, and see how their family is down now? β
"Yao'er, don't be rude." Li Zhixuan said in a deep voice, but there was no displeasure on his face, but a faint smile.
Li Jingshan looked at them calmly, and said word by word: "I never believed that my father would disgrace the family, and I am not afraid of the current downfall. My father once told me that where he falls, he will get up! β
The voice is not loud, but it is loud!
Li Zhixuan's face changed, he looked at Li Jingshan carefully, and saw that although she was dressed as a maid, she was neatly dressed, her makeup was neat, and her face was much better than when she was first expelled from the family.
He snorted heavily, "No shame, no repentance!" After that, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and only said to Li Jingyao: "Yao'er, let's go in." β
The corners of Li Jingshan's mouth hooked up a sneer, and she also turned to leave, but someone called her behind her: "Miss." β
Li Jingshan was surprised, on Li Zhixuan's territory, there were still people who dared to take the risk of disapproval and call her a big lady? When she turned her head, it was a tall middle-aged man with a serious expression, with a faint Sichuan character line between his eyebrows, and he seemed to be frowning forever. The man stood under the eaves with his hands in his hands and looked at her.
Li Jingshan had mixed feelings in her heart, and after a moment of silence, she still stepped forward and responded in a low voice, "Master Xie." β
This Master Li's name is Xie Baizi, and he is the master of Lai's jewelry design. It was a proofing and finalizer hired by his father after several setbacks. When my father was in charge, I worked and cooperated with him and had a bit of friendship. When Lai Ching-shan was learning jewelry design from her father, she also had several times of guidance from him. Therefore, Li Jingshan respected him as a master.
Xie Baizi nodded lightly, "You just said that where you fall, you have to get up." In that case, you can come to me if you need it. β
Li Jingshan was puzzled for a while, only saying that she could not help the poor, and when she was in the most difficult time, she couldn't find anyone to help, let alone need it at this time. So he lowered his head and said, "I, I don't need to look for you. β
The Sichuan character lines between Xie Baizi's eyebrows were deeper, and he said angrily: "You have aura, and your artistic perception is not bad." But in this way, you think you can have a place in the jewelry industry? Arrogant! β
Li Jingshan was stunned, and tears almost came out. It turned out that Xie Baizi still thought that she would be able to enter Lai's jewelry again? She can't even be considered free now!
She hurriedly lowered her head to hide the tears in her eyes, and it took a while before she said calmly, "Thank you, master." I...... I will come to you if I have the opportunity in the future. Thank you! β
She bowed to Xie Baizi with a low bow, turned around and hurried away. She turned into a deserted alley, and tears could finally flow uncontrollably.
Li Jingshan crouched against the wall, hugged her knees, buried her face, and cried silently, but the tears were like a flood that burst the embankment.
This is the fiercest and happiest crying since Li Jingshan came to this world. It was as if the hardships and grievances of many days suddenly poured out together, and the little heart could no longer be closed, and it was about to rush out with tears. Even she was amazed why she was so sad all of a sudden, almost crying.
It wasn't until she was tired of crying that she gradually stopped crying, got up and walked slowly home. Li Jingshan's rigorous brain as a scientist only found time to think about what this sudden cry was all about. After careful analysis, Li Jingshan had to admit that although the original owner of the body was no longer there, this body had already recorded her preferences and wishes.
It turned out that Miss Li was a girl full of art and warmth and romance, even in a difficult period of survival, her love for art had already penetrated into every bit of life. And jewelry design may be her lifelong pursuit.
It's just that after Li Jingshan woke up, she struggled to survive, and there was no chance to reconnect with jewelry design, so this desire had to be deeply suppressed in the heart of this body, and there was no way to sprout.
When I met Xie Baizi at Si Zhenfang today, the deep desire in my heart was triggered again, and it came out. And because the deeper the repression, the stronger the outbreak. It was only when she faced Xie Baizi that she almost lost control.
However, it was only at this time that Li Jingshan realized deeply and desperately that due to the loss of her free body, she was no longer able to enter the Si Zhen Fang and had no chance to connect with the jewelry design world.
The body of the original owner subconsciously, taking this opportunity, fiercely vented his hopelessness in the pursuit of jewelry art.
Thinking of this, Li Jingshan calmed down easily. It's always good to have pursuits and dreams, so keep them in your heart in case you realize them in the future.
On the long street, a cocoon figure greeted the sun, slowly walking on the street of the beginning of the summer shade, the long shadow fell behind her, silently accompanied her through the long road, the road is bumpy, but the future is promising.
Only a day later, Sister-in-law Zhang whispered to Li Jingshan excitedly: "My niece asked me to tell you, your Dragon Boat Festival embroidery is very good, and it has been sold out in just half a day, and there are still many customers to order." She asked you to go to the shop after work and tell me about the embroidery. β
Li Jingshan responded with a smile, "I apologize to Sister Zhang, I am on duty today on a night errand, and I will go over immediately after work tomorrow." β
She had expected that those soft and cute Dragon Boat Festival element image designs would be loved by the public, but she didn't expect them to be very popular. It seems that there is no resistance to the soft and cute image.,Ancient and modern are the same.γ
