Chapter 3 Embroidery is a must
After a while, the monk and Wuyunzhu left, and Fan Xixi also went home with a bag of what he had gotten home to the old lady.
"The E-family, the E-family" Fan Xixi crossed Erlang's legs at home, chattering while clasping the table with his fingers, as if he was a ruffian.
"You sit down for me, girls' families, standing or not, sitting or not, what do you look like!" The old lady muttered while kicking off the leg of Erlang that Fan Xixi was knocking on.
"Mother" Suddenly, Fan Xixi hugged the old lady as if she had thought of something, and said excitedly, "I want to sell myself into the Ejia family"
The old lady glanced deeply, "You can sell it if you want to, don't you know that you are a sinner now, and you still want to enter the Hu family, don't you know that the Hu family is a relative of the emperor, and the most famous family in the local area is what you want to enter?" ”
"Hmm," Fan Xixi sighed deeply, and sat down again, "I really have to think of a way."
Outside the door, the old lady was in a hurry to clean up all the affairs of the house, and Fan Xixi sat in the house for a whole afternoon, muttering to herself from time to time, "You have to think of an identity" and "Where did the identity come from?" Fan Xixi sighed unwillingly.
Fan Heedy was very unwilling in his heart. She hated the bleak ending of her 8 years of court life, and she was very aggrieved.
She wanted to know how her queen mother was doing, could she still live in the cold palace, and she wanted to know who pierced the last layer of tissue paper between the queen and the emperor so that the last face was ignored, and what role did her brother Li play in this?
Zhang Xiuniang entered the house and watched her daughter not eat oil and salt all afternoon, and she was very distressed lying on the table with a frown.
Zhang Xiuniang is not small this year, and the embroidery needle is almost unclear, it is said that it is time to enjoy the world in peace. The eldest son moved out after getting married and had his own life, her daughter of 8 years in the palace was covered with injuries when she finally came back, and the high fever did not go away, she secretly wiped her tears several times, and no mother was really willing to let her little daughter go out for a walk.
She knows her daughter's ability, but the environment she faces is too dangerous, only at home, she Zhang Xiuniang can safely protect her daughter in her arms from being bullied by others.
Zhang Xiuniang was holding the meal for her daughter outside the door, secretly looked at her daughter, shed a few tears, took a few breaths hard, wiped away her tears and replaced them with a smiling face, and pushed the door open.
"I'm thinking about it all day, eat first, and after eating, I'll go to the embroidery room to find you some materials."
Zhang Xiuniang put the rice and dishes on the small square table in front of Fan Xixi, and said while fiddling with chopsticks, "You don't know, in the past two days, the Hubei family just wants an embroidery girl, and the embroidery required is qualified. ”
Fan Xixi jumped up from the stool all of a sudden, and kissed the old lady on the face, "Thank you, Mom!" ”
Her embroidery is speechless, when she entered the queen's palace is because she can embroider double-sided embroidery with the thinnest thread, so that the queen's court dress is gorgeous, unique and eye-catching, and she was appreciated by the queen's mother into the Yikun Palace to make clothes for her. She eats with her embroidery.
This time, it seems that God is going to let her enter the E's house.
Fan Xixi locked himself in his room for three days, eating when he was hungry, sleeping when he was sleepy, and did not communicate with his family, concentrating on his own embroidery.
Every time Zhang Xiuniang entered the house, she saw her daughter hooking a needle and thread on a piece of cloth the size of a palm.
Zhang Xiuniang is strange, you say that this palm-sized cloth, what good embroidery can be made, she has been doing embroidery for so many years, and she has seen the best embroidery is a big embroidery, majestic, this palm-sized cloth is too small.
She instantly felt that her daughter's embroidery seemed to be just the same, and in three days, she Zhang Xiuniang could also embroider the whole work on a piece of cloth the size of a palm.
"Girl, your embroidery is average, can you come out on top? The embroiderers who want to enter the Efu Mansion are all first-class, and everyone wants to get in."
Fan Xixi hurriedly looked up at the old lady, "What I want is this effect", and smiled in her heart, what is the kung fu of the top embroiderer, which is reflected in this subtlety.
Her good kung fu back then was that even the flowers on the cuffs of the queen mother could show the whole process of blooming at different times.
Good embroidery pays attention to the combination of the color of the thread and the color of the light, and the people who know the goods will naturally understand, of course, the embroidery lady of ordinary people like her wife has not seen, but she believes that the Hu family must have people who can recognize the goods.
。。。。。。
Efu is one of the largest households in Hangzhou. The gate courtyard pays attention to the gate courtyard covered bridge, high mountains and flowing water.
The whole mansion is located in the center of Hangzhou City, two majestic lion towns guard the gate of the mansion, the whole mansion is wrapped by a high wall, the red wall is high and the tile can not be seen at a glance, and the guards at the door have more than a dozen middle-aged men, majestic. It is worthy of being a relative of the emperor and a high-ranking compound.
On the day of the selection of embroidered girls, Fan Xixi and several other embroidered girls who came to participate in the selection followed the aunt in charge and lowered their eyebrows and entered the Efu from the side door.
The aunt in charge crossed her waist, her body was rich, and her appearance was very kind, with a crooked smiling face, looking at the girls who came in to send to others, her face was still smiling, but she was very irritable in her heart, and her Aunt Wang hated training newcomers the most.
Aunt Wang was originally the eldest maid next to the old lady, and after she got married, she began to be in charge of everything in the house.
Although she is an aunt, she feels that it is better to be the big girl next to the old woman. The old lady is the most powerful person in the E family, although the old man has a status in the court, but he is actually afraid of his wife.
The old lady is the daughter of the Zhenguo family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has followed her father to lead the troops to fight since she was a child.
But after getting married, Aunt Wang was replaced by the new daughter-in-law of the old lady's maternal cousin, and she was still not as close as the old lady's own family as an outsider, and suddenly felt a lot of powerlessness.
Don't look at this little girl with a beautiful appearance, some of them can provoke trouble, not to mention that there are many who want to climb the young master and the old man's bed every year. These little girls relied on their youth and a bunch of flowery intestines in their hearts, thinking about how to climb the high branches as if they could become phoenixes.
Compared with Aunt Wang's anxiety and the nervousness of the little girls, Fan Xixi was leisurely as if the life of walking in the garden was incompatible with the crowd, and the other embroidery girls lowered their heads in a panic, and nervousness was written all over their faces; Fan Xixi looked around like a countryman who had come to the mansion to see the world.
Fan Xixi looked at the pavilions and pavilions of this Hubei Mansion, and thought in his heart that it was really no worse than in the palace.
After all, it has only been more than 20 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China at this time, and everything in the palace is a little tight, and the renovation of the palace is always good and bad.
It is completely inferior to these big families in the south of the Yangtze River, who eat the old money accumulated by the previous dynasty. The refreshing style of this small bridge and flowing water is also missing in the palace, and Fan Xixi is about to be dazzled here.
