27. Low-key
Qiu Jing spoke in a slightly louder voice, causing everyone to stare at her, and then shifted their eyes to Tao Zhiyuan's body, and her face was moved for a while, and all of them showed a look of admiration.
Fang Yu was also surprised, but quickly sneered: "What nonsense, lie without blinking." ”
"How could I lie!" Qiu Jing became angry when she saw her, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Tan Siji." ”
Fang Yu wanted to ask, but Tan Sizhi spoke: "Okay, what time is it, Qiu Jing, go and make the palace maid's summer clothes." Fang Yu, didn't you say yesterday that you would design some new tricks? Take it for me to see. ”
Qiu Jing and Fang Yu glared at each other hatefully before they ran to do their own work.
Tan Sizhi sighed, the fine lines on her face deepened, and she said without looking back, "You come in with me." ”
Tao Zhiyuan followed Tan Si into a room, which was well-lit and spacious, and there was an embroidery frame and various silk threads, which seemed to be Tan Si Zhi's personal workshop.
Tan Sizhi closed the door, took out a pair of tea sets, and began to make tea, she took advantage of the time of boiling water, motioned to Tao Zhiyuan to sit down with herself, and then the water boiled, she brewed tea, and after a while, she poured a cup for Tao Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "Let's drink and see, this is sent by the Shangshi Bureau." ”
Tao Zhiyuan took a sip as she said, but it was much better than when she was still a woman, and said: "Mouth is fragrant, good tea." ”
Tan Siji's eyes were burning: "Brewing tea, the first cup is not the best, the first cup of tea has too much bitterness, it is the outermost taste of the tea that washes out, and the best drink is the second cup of tea. ”
Tan Sizhi suddenly spit out these words, so that Tao Zhiyuan couldn't guess her deep meaning, and was still figuring out what she meant, Tan Siji spoke again: "When you first come to the Si Zhi room, you have to be afraid of being too sharp and making others jealous." When you endure some hardships, take off your immaturity, understand the sophistication of human feelings, and you will shine with your own brilliance. ”
Tao Zhiyuan suddenly realized that Tan Sizhi taught himself that although Tan Sizhi was a person of the virtuous concubine, he had repeatedly shirked the task of doing things for the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine had already been dissatisfied with her a lot, but if she was removed, I am afraid that the position of the priest would fall into Fang Yu's hands.
"Thank you, Mr. Tan." Tao Zhiyuan was suddenly touched.
"It's good to have a backer, but some people have to tear down the bridge when they cross it, and it's always good to keep a hand."
Tao Zhiyuan's heart trembled slightly, in this way, Tan Sizhi deliberately kept Fang Yu, but now that she has come to the Si Zhi room, even if Concubine Xian gets rid of Tan Si Si, and she competes with Fang Yu for the position of Si Si, then, will Tan Si Ji get rid of her in order to stabilize her position.
Thinking of this, Tao Zhiyuan inexplicably got goosebumps.
"That'...... The slave maid ......, "Tao Zhiyuan just came to the Si Zhi room, although she has a virtuous concubine as a backer, but Tan Si Ji wants to kill her, it is too easy."
Tan Sizhi looked at her with a somewhat frightened look, suddenly smiled, and said, "You are a rare talent, don't think too much." I'm also old, and the position of the division system is always topped by young people, Fang Yu's craftsmanship is mediocre, her character is delicate, and there is no one in her eyes, so she is really not the best candidate......"
Tan Sizhi said this, and moved her eyes to Tao Zhiyuan, which was quite meaningful, and she continued: "I just want to be able to return to my hometown to retire and enjoy my old age in peace, if Concubine Xian Niangniang can help me, I will definitely do my best for my mother." ”
It turned out that Tan Si had been planning for so many years, just for such a day. The six bureaus of the harem, the most important thing is the number of Shang Gong Bureaus, the concubines' pearl hairpin costumes are all from here, as a division, there must be a lot of oil and water, Tao Zhiyuan smiled secretly in her heart, Tan Divisional is simply a human spirit!
"Tan Si is serious, Niangniang will definitely help you." The first thing Tao Zhiyuan had to do in the division room was to let Tan Division promote himself, and now it seems that Tan Division System wants to use the position of Division System as a bargaining chip in exchange for getting out of the house.
Tan Sizhi had already expected such an answer, she chose to stay in the palace when she was twenty-five years old, firstly, she had already passed the age of marriage, and secondly, her family was poor, and she also suffered hardships when she left the palace. She has worked hard for many years, and now that the time has come, she will take a gamble.
"Then thank you, mother." There was joy in Tan Siji's voice that was difficult to hide.
After Tao Zhiyuan came out of Tan Siji, she and Qiu Jing rushed to make the summer clothes of the palace maids. This is the simplest job, only sewing, no embroidery, but the workload is heavy, which makes Qiu Jing miserable.
Qiu Jing wondered why Tao Zhiyuan couldn't sew clothes for the concubines with her skills, but Tao Zhiyuan knew that she relied on the virtuous concubine to enter the manufacturing room, and if she was too sharp at the beginning, it would be easy to become the target of public criticism, so it was better to keep a low profile. is the so-called low-key life, high-profile work, Tao Zhiyuan has already appreciated the meaning, just like after graduating from modern university, she went to work in a clothing company, she was unknown, and her colleagues thought that her strength was mediocre.
By lunchtime, Qiu Jing was already so tired that she lay down, and Tao Zhiyuan was no better, she was suffering from the fact that there was no sewing machine in ancient times, otherwise, how could the efficiency be so slow.
Press her fingers, it's still winter, and if it weren't for the carbon stove next to her, she's afraid she wouldn't be able to even penetrate the pinhole.
The palace maids have winter and summer clothes all year round, but the number of palace maids in the harem is huge, and often the production room has to be in a hurry, and the clothes of the harem concubines cannot be finished, so how can there be manpower to sew the clothes of the palace maids.
Ancient times are different from modern times, ancient times are long-sleeved clothes, winter clothes and summer clothes are only the difference in the thickness of clothes, winter clothes in addition to a thickened coat, there is also a cotton jacket in the middle, and summer clothes are a thin coat and a thin coat.
Tao Zhiyuan listened to Yingmeng's complaints, the palace maid's winter clothes were not warm enough, it was too hot to wear winter clothes in spring, and summer clothes were too cold. But in this way, it hurt the palace maid.
Tao Zhiyuan meditated for a while, and finally had a little eyebrows. At this time, Qiu Jing said, "Go and eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”
"You go first, I have something to do." Tao Zhiyuan wanted to go back to the room to draw a drawing, and first set a prototype.
"Huh? Don't even eat? ”
Tao Zhiyuan put away all the needle and thread and said, "There is still dry food in the room, I can eat that." ”
After speaking, Tao Zhiyuan left the production room, returned to his room, spread out the rice paper, took out the pen and ink, and began to create. She already had a general idea in her mind, but picking up a brush was not as comfortable as using a charcoal pen when she was studying art, and she hadn't tried to draw with a brush, and after thinking about it for a while, she had a flash of inspiration.
Because it is winter, carbon is everywhere, so I chose a slender and hard carbon, wrapped the back of the carbon with rice paper to fix it, and then used a knife to sharpen the carbon, so that it became a carbon pen.
Accustomed to using a charcoal pen, always a little easier, she draws patterns on rice paper, the palace maid's costume is simple, in addition to the color matching, no embroidery is allowed on any pattern, and the general grade of the palace maid, will be embroidered according to the height of different patterns.
