Chapter 6 It's My Delusion
But this little one is different from ordinary people's talent, she only needs to say it once can be firmly remembered, the next day to make exactly the same embroidery, although the line method is jerky but has a special interest.
"Well, sit down! We started from yesterday's broken needle, this embroidery, embroidery scene pay attention to charm, or hook, or twist, oblique needle into the ......" Zheng Xiuniang glanced at the three faces with different expressions, stayed in the palm-sized face for a moment, and then slowly explained the essentials of embroidery.
A morning of time between the needle and the thread, Zheng Xiuniang opened her mouth to say the word "rest", Yu Ruhui, who had long been unaware of where her soul was, was like a bird that opened the cage, and couldn't wait to fly out, leaving the embroidery building without saying hello.
And Yu Ruqing, who is only a pastime but does not value it, behaves like a thing on her face, and she has a formal head on Zheng Xiuniang, she has been sitting for a long time and her waist and legs are a little weak, and she slowly stepped out of the embroidery building with the support of the two girls Yuqiu and Yuqiu, and her small feet walked quite slowly, not fast.
"Third Miss, wait a minute."
"Me?" Yu Rusu pointed to the tip of her nose.
"Your skills are the worst, you can't keep up with the two sisters, I have a basic introduction to embroidery here, I wrote it myself, you take it back and take a look, don't drag down the eldest lady and the second lady's learning." She spoke with disgust, as if she were the worst student she had ever taught.
Miss Yu, who was walking slowly outside the building, paused slightly, and when she heard Zheng Xiuniang's disgust, the corners of her mouth hooked up, holding the girl's hand and continuing to walk forward.
It turned out to be a useless one, and a concubine is a concubine.
"Yes, I'll learn again......" Yu Rusu took over quite suspiciously, and wrote the embroidery entry in a delicate hairpin flower letter, but when she opened the contents, she suddenly opened her apricot eyes and looked at Zheng Xiuniang who was smiling at her in disbelief.
"I'm old, and I'm afraid that my eyes won't be able to wear the eye of a needle in two years, so I want to find a successor and pass on what I've learned all my life to her." Zheng Xiuniang explained quietly. Her children don't want to learn, they feel hard, and they have been practicing their eyesight for half their lives, which hurts their eyes.
"It's ...... The basic starting ...... of double-sided embroidery" Yu Rusu's hand was trembling, and she couldn't believe that the technique of her heart was in her hand.
Zheng Xiuniang stroked her head. "You are a good boy, I am relieved to pass it on to you, I will teach you carefully in the next year, if you don't understand something, ask questions, I will do my best to answer you."
But my sister ...... "I'm afraid I can't hide it."
She smacked. Those two young ladies don't know what embroidery is, you say long needles and short needles in front of them, I don't know if they think about the length of the needle, and they don't think about the length of the silk thread, if it weren't for the generous remuneration given by the lady, I really don't want to take this job. ”
She wants to go back to the countryside to buy a piece of land and build a few brick houses for her children and grandchildren to live in, and then ignore nothing and become a landlord's wife who only cares about her grandchildren.
Mrs. County Ling gave a lot of silver, and she nodded reluctantly because of the division of silver, not asking for a good craft, at least so that a few young ladies could sew single clothes for their husbands in the future.
Who knew that there was an unexpected surprise, pearls came out of the mud, so that she met a good seedling that could be molded, and she wanted to pass on her unique craftsmanship.
"I want to learn, and I'm going to learn the best, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to carry it forward, because I ......can't help myself, after all, I can't help myself.
The identity of the concubine is destined to be unable to do what she wants, and even the major events of her life are at the mercy of others, all she can do is learn double-sided embroidery, and nothing else can be promised.
Zheng Xiuniang raised her hand and snorted. "I teach you double-sided embroidery is to see you pleasing to the eye, you have an uncompromising insistence in your bones, others think you are cowardly and timid, but I see your fearless courage, I teach you not to want this skill to be lost, as for what you will do, I can't control."
"What I want is the heir to the mantle, and I don't want you to open a big embroidery workshop as the owner, whether you learn well depends on your personal understanding, this is fate, don't worry too much."
"Yes, Master, please accept my three prostrations......"
Yu Rusu was just about to kneel down to bow to the teacher, but Zheng Xiuniang hurriedly helped her up with both hands. "If you don't have these false courtesies, if you are seen, you can't tell clearly."
Yu Rusu was right to think about it, so she didn't salute anymore, so as not to cause a fishy body.
"Third Miss, I'll go first, and you will leave later, so as not to go in and out with the same gossip." She wants to avoid suspicion, so it's good for both of them.
Zheng Xiuniang has long wanted to find a successor, but has never met the opportunity, she is also very sorry that there is no successor, this art to be brought into the grave, I didn't expect the peak to turn, a seemingly weak but strong little girl jumped into her eyes, she carefully observed for more than three months to determine that this girl is qualified, she has enough patience to stay on the embroidery frame for a long time, and she also has extraordinary intelligence, flexible eyes hide endless vitality, she is the person she is looking for.
"Okay."
Looking at Zheng Xiuniang's back gradually walking away, Yu Rusu was excited in her heart, she forgot that her father was going to take the school sisters' homework at noon, and walked happily to the small courtyard, she didn't expect that the pie in the sky would fall on her head, and send the good things she thought about day and night to her.
It was even more exciting than picking up gold, and she was able to really learn a craft.
"Su'er, auntie, aunt has something I want to discuss with you......"
Walking on the path back to the side courtyard, when she saw the plain-clothed woman approaching her, Yu Rusu's curved mouth slowly flattened, and she was speechless in the face of the aunt who gave birth to her.
"I didn't borrow money, you know I'm poor." She said the ugly things before, and the same thing was not once or twice, and the same reason made people very impatient.
"But don't you have a way of saving money? Last time, I saw that you took out ten taels of silver and bought a lot of rice. Aunt Xue didn't care about the source of her daughter's silver, she only knew that her quota of rouge gouache had run out, and she would have to wait for a month to apply for it.
"That's my silver, it's gone." The person who abandons her daughter first is not qualified to ask for something in return, she doesn't care for a piece of meat that fell from her body, she actually oppresses her own daughter like an outsider, and she doesn't dare to open her mouth to her man when she lacks use, but repeatedly squeezes and beats her daughter who has lost her biological mother's care since she was a child.
She won't let Aunt Xue ask for it again and again, no matter how high-sounding Aunt Xue's reason is, it is her husband who can really call the shots, if she dares to argue with reason, will the self-proclaimed fair Yusan Master let the main room take advantage of an aunt by improper means?
But Aunt Xue is too accustomed to relying on others, she is not assertive, her ears are soft, and if someone is reliable, she will be public, and once she loses her backer, her back will be bent lower than anyone else.
It's not that she can't fight, but she doesn't dare to fight, she thinks too much and hesitates, always thinking about letting people pave the way forward for her, so she can sit back and enjoy it.
Yu Rusu is very sympathetic to the original owner's birth mother who will die early, and now she comes to this world through other people's bodies, if she is not too demanding, she will take care of one or two more or less, and try to meet the filial piety of others.
But for the rest, sorry it can't be done.
After sending Aunt Xue away with a few simple sentences, Yu Rusu continued to walk on the road to the side courtyard.
"Oops! It hurts......"
What hit her in the head?
Yu Rusu, who was holding a medical book in a daze, looked up and saw only the green fruits the size of copper coins among the emerald green leaves, which were still astringent and could not be eaten.
I don't know when she started, as soon as she had troubles, she went to the peach blossom forest, there was a small clearing in the forest where she laid a platform made of wooden planks as a resting place, she often came here, and sat on it for most of the day without moving, and made a grass shed on it to shade the sun.
According to common sense, it is impossible for the small fruit that falls down to hit her head, there is a grass shed to block it, and at most it will fall to her side.
She straightened up and sat up straight.
Could it be anyone?
Yu Rusu, who was suspicious in her heart, checked again and again, the peach trees full of fruit were full of green, each tree was full of peach leaves, and the branches of the peach trees that were more than thirty years old were thick, and it would not be surprising if someone hid in them, Yu Rusu had hidden behind a peach tree to trick the green jade who came to find her.
"Why is there no one, could it be my delusion?" She muttered to herself, rubbed her sore spot and picked up the medical book to read carefully.
She learns embroidery in the morning, practices calligraphy and reading books in the afternoon, and spends an hour every day on the medical book, she tries to enrich herself, whether she can use it in the future or not, it is better to be prepared than to be at a loss.
As soon as he relaxed, another peach leaf swept by like a gust of wind, and landed impartially in the middle of the open pages, like a butterfly resting to collect honey.
