Chapter 6: The Clever Apprentice
The convoy passed through the lively street market, and the bustling flow of people finally stopped in front of the Zilang Embroidery Workshop.
Lin Jiaoxi got off the station and greeted on the steps: "Embroidery girls, get off the train, take a roll call in front of the door." ”
Just when the embroidery girls were cramped or excited to get out of the car, the two walked out of the embroidery workshop.
The man was handsome, holding a folding fan, the woman was dignified and beautiful, and at a glance she knew that it was everyone's ladies.
The woman's gaze swept over and stopped looking closely, while the man's gaze lingered on each embroiderer in turn, as if he was discerning.
Finally, when he saw the blue moon, his originally cold eyes lit up, and the folding fan in his hand was closed, and his eyes were thoughtful.
"Pan Xiaoyue!" Lin Jiaoxi clicked on Blue Moon, and when he heard this name, the corners of the man's mouth hooked slightly.
The embroidery girls who were named answered one by one, and after the head count was completed, they all arrived safely, and Lin Jiaoxi, who picked up the people, also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to the man: "Lord Lin, the embroidery girls of Linjiazhuang have been picked up." ”
Lord Lin nodded and said to Li Ying: "Let them rest first today, and then familiarize themselves with the embroidery workshop and division of labor tomorrow, I will leave first." ”
Li Ying replied respectfully: "Yes!" ”
The embroidery girls standing at the foot of the stairs peeked up one by one, and this handsome and dashing Lord Lin didn't know how many times they had been praised in their hearts.
Blue Moon grew up in Yanyun Palace, and there are not a few beautiful men I have seen since I was a child, but ...... The ...... in front of you It still made her heart beat a beat more.
Master Lin went down the steps and walked slowly along the queue of embroidered girls, I don't know if it was the illusion of the blue moon, when he passed by him, his steps seemed to be sluggish.
After all, it is a government-run embroidery workshop, a residence for four people, Chunlan looked at the futon, and then looked at the furniture in the house, very excited.
Seeing that the blue moon was still faint, Chunlan whispered: "Sister Xiaoyue, what do you want?" ”
Lan Yue came back to her senses and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm wondering if my mother-in-law will be lonely at night alone!" ”
Hearing this, Chunlan's high interest suddenly decreased, the night when she was alone outside was the easiest time to feel homesick, Lan Yue was used to it, but Chunlan left the house for the first time.
On the second day, just after the hour, the teacher came to call.
Yesterday, the car and horses were tired all day, or excited, or homesick, or choose a seat, the embroidery girls who fell asleep very late last night struggled to get out of bed and began their life in the Zilang embroidery workshop.
"I heard that today will be divided according to the level of embroidery, and people with good skills can directly get their hands on valuable embroidery!"
"The embroidery here was originally going to be sent to Yanyun Palace, and the precious embroidery may be used by the queen and princess!"
"We have the best craftsmanship here!" Yufen said proudly.
An embroidery girl said with a light in her eyes: "By the way, will Lord Lin come, if you can see him every day, it's worth it even if you don't have a salary!" ”
Everyone laughed, "It's useless, let's see what's the use, Lord Lin can still marry you?" ”
Lan Yue listened to these people's discussions, raised her hand and touched her nose, and pulled Chunlan away.
They were the first batch of embroiderers to arrive, Jiao Xing was unsurprisingly assigned to embroider valuables, and Yufen and Chunlan were assigned to embroider ordinary items.
It's finally Blue Moon's turn......
The supervisor asked a few questions about her masterpiece, and finally took her hand, looked at the fingers covered with needle eyes, sighed and shook his head, and had to reluctantly list Blue Moon as an apprentice.
I don't know if she understands what she will face when she becomes an apprentice, in Chunlan's worried expression, in the gloating of Jiao Xing and Yufen, and under the sympathetic gaze of the other embroiderers, Lan Yue doesn't seem to be worried at all.
Three days after Lan Yue entered the embroidery workshop, she saw this Lord Lin again, who had always been indifferent.
The embroidery girls moved in one after another, and the embroidery workshop was sprinkled and cleaned in front of the door, and it was obvious that there was vitality.
Lord Lin walked into the Weeping Flower Gate with his personal guard Qingshuang, and walked straight through the atrium to the main hall.
Li Ying was burying her head in the book, when she heard someone else respectfully calling: "Lord Lin! ”
She looked up and smiled, because there were still people in the main hall, but she said respectfully: "You are here, so early!" ”
Li Ying shouted outward: "Xiaoyue, serve tea!" ”
Master Lin paused, glanced at Li Ying, lifted his clothes and turned around to take a seat.
Lan Yue hurriedly agreed to come in from outside, she was not wearing the uniform dress of an embroidered girl, but wearing a set of maidservant clothes.
Lan Yuejing went to get the tea set after passing her hand, and the sencha technique was quite skillful.
Finally, the tea was fried, Lan Yue respectfully served tea to the two of them, the etiquette was very thorough, Lord Lin took the tea cup and bowed her slightly.
For some reason, Lord Lin's gaze made Lan Yue's heart tremble, and after serving the tea, she hurriedly went back to the tea case to bury her head and get busy.
Lord Lin turned to Li Ying and said with some surprise: "I remember that she is also from Linjiazhuang, why is she doing these things?" ”
Li Ying smiled, "Lin Jiaoxi said that you have instructed you to choose some clever ones to teach first, this girl is very smart, but she is not a female celebrity at all, she can only be an apprentice at the beginning, and start with these miscellaneous things." ”
Li Ying tasted a sip of tea and sighed: "I only taught her once, and I can already fry tea like this, it is said that her mother-in-law is still an embroidery master in Linjiazhuang, and her granddaughter is not a female celebrity at all!" ”
Lord Lin pinched the teacup in his hand and bowed his head silently, Li Ying called him a little strangely, "Lord Lin...... What are you thinking? ”
Master Lin replied: "I see! I wonder how many such apprentices there are in the embroidery workshop? ”
Li Ying thought for a moment and said, "Plus those who haven't come yet, there should be five apprentices." ”
Lord Lin nodded, stopped talking, just picked up the teacup and took a sip.
