Chapter 288: Embroidery
"Brother!" Jiang Xi walked in with a smile and greeted Qin Hao, Li Xuemei followed behind, looking a little embarrassed, and whispered shyly, "Watch...... Cousin. ”
Qin Hao nodded slightly, put down the book in his hand, and as soon as he beckoned, a little servant came up with a plate of fruit. Seeing this, Jiang Qian hugged Niuniu to eat the fruit, leaving the space for the three of them.
"Sit down."
Jiang Xi sat down directly, but Li Xuemei was much more sluggish, and it took a long time to react, and she sat down after a sigh.
Jiang Xi snickered on the side, don't look at Li Xuemei as if she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but when she encounters a scholar like Qin Hao, she will naturally be a little shorter. Before, Li Xuemei was still talking to Jiangxi that every time she saw Qin Hao, it was always like facing a mountain, and she was more scared than seeing her father and grandfather.
"Come to me to ask for something." Qin Hao said as he opened a small leather case placed on the side. This box is made of sheepskin that Jiang Xi brought from the northwest before, waterproof, Qin Hao has always been more precious, and many of his favorite books are packed in it.
Later, Jiang Xi and the Li family made two more such boxes, one was taken by Qin Hao and given to the old gentleman, and the other was used by Qin Hao to store books. This time he set off for the south, and he took the box with him.
Seeing him open the suitcase, Jiang Xi's eyes lit up. The things that can be packed in it are definitely not ordinary, and Qin Hao's vision is high, and he can't look at ordinary objects.
The suitcase was finally opened, and a beautiful satin appeared in front of Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei.
"This ...... This is? Jiang Xi stretched out his hand and touched it gently, he had heard it before, the embroidery in the south was extremely famous, especially the embroidery in Jiangnan and Shu, which was famous throughout the country, and was also paid tribute to the royal family.
In the 21st century, her knowledge of embroidery was only the ones on cross-stitch and TV movies. I really saw it with my own eyes, only to find that what I knew before were floating clouds, and the shock of this thing was too great.
Whether it is embroidered flowers or fish and insects, they are all lifelike and look vivid. What's more, both the front and back are just as beautiful, and those messy threads can't be found at all.
Jiangxi couldn't help but admire those embroiderers, Li just asked her to embroider a few handkerchiefs on one side, she felt tired, those embroiderers can show off such exquisite embroidery, I don't know how much effort it takes.
No wonder, since ancient times, it has been heard that good embroidery is more expensive than gold, where is this embroidery, is the hard work of countless embroiderers.
"Oh my God, this is so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful satin, is this their embroidery over there?" Li Xuemei stretched out her hand, wanting to touch it but was a little afraid of it, not afraid of Qin Hao, but simply thinking that such a beautiful embroidery was touched as if it had been defiled.
Qin Hao had already expected their reaction, and chuckled: "It is indeed the embroidery over there in Jiangnan, this is the double-sided embroidery of Suzhou embroidery, which was given to the teacher by a local old embroiderer who has been specializing in embroidery for more than 20 years, and the teacher only took a section, saying that it was to make a small screen, and the rest was given to me."
It's useless for me to take it with a big man, so I'll bring it all back to you. There are only two of these satins in total, and if you take them and divide them, it is estimated that you will make two or three sets of clothes at most, and there will be no more. ”
Jiang Xi looked at Qin Hao with a smile, and then tilted his chin towards Jiang Qian, and asked, "Brother, you really don't want it?" ”
Qin Hao shook his head lightly, Jiang Qian's current identity is still a girl, even if there is no girl with a higher status than her in this family, it is still not suitable for these precious things.
Wait for the future, when they are together in the future, he will personally take her to Jiangnan and let her choose by herself.
"No need, you can take it."
Li Xuemei suddenly pinched Jiang Xi's arm, and her excited expression made Jiang Xi almost laugh.
Then, Qin Hao took out some Jiangnan gadgets, as well as two white porcelain bottles. Except for the porcelain vase that attracted Jiang Xi's attention, she wasn't very interested in anything else.
The porcelain vase Jiangxi didn't ask for it, but let Qin Hao keep it for himself, so as to decorate his study, and with the gadgets and embroidery, she and Li Xuemei walked out.
Jiang Qian took Niuniu to play outside, children will always become active when they are full, Jiang Xi is too lazy to care, there are girls watching at home left and right, there will be no accidents. What she wants to do most now is to bring the embroidery back, and then make some good things and distribute them to her family.
Li Xuemei still didn't suppress her excitement, and when she came out, she still held Jiangxi's arm.
"Oh my God, such a beautiful embroidery, I really opened my eyes. Jiangxi, how many things do you say we can make! Like Jiang Xi's thoughts, Li Xuemei didn't plan to make it into clothes, it was too wasteful to wear it on her body, in case she accidentally got dirty, she didn't know what it would look like if she was distressed.
"Come on, look at your saliva, it's dripping. I'm telling you, if it drips on the embroidery, I'm not done with you! Jiang Xi saw that Li Xuemei was so excited, and deliberately teased her.
Then Li Xuemei heard this, and subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, as if she was really afraid that it would drip onto the embroidery.
"Poof" Jiang Xi laughed, and Li Xuemei, who touched the corner of her mouth and found that there was nothing, also found that she was deceived by Jiang Xi at this moment, and hurriedly chased her and fought.
Jiang Xi reacted quickly, and shot out like an arrow the moment Li Xuemei raised her hand. Li Xuemei chased after her, feeling that she would not give up if she couldn't catch up.
After running for a while, seeing that he was about to reach his yard, Jiang Xi immediately slowed down, worried that he would collide with the girl who entered by holding the embroidery. If you meet a girl with soup, it's all over today.
"Stop, stop, don't chase, don't look back, really stain the embroidery, the two of us are really going to be punished."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xuemei came behind her. However, after hearing this, Li Xuemei didn't take any other actions, just said cruel words on her lips. "When you put your things away, I'll settle accounts with you!"
I gasped for breath twice, I hadn't run for a long time, and both of them were a little tired. Before entering the yard, Jiang Xi still thought that he must get up early tomorrow and run around the yard in the future, striving to exercise his body well.
Seeing such exquisite embroidery, Qing Huan and the other girls couldn't feel the praise, and they all gathered in the Jiangxi house, and they couldn't see enough.
"Qingle, I remember that your family used to be in Jiangnan, have you ever seen such embroidery?" Qing Huan opened her mouth and asked the other girl. This Qingle is a second-class girl in Jiangxi's house, responsible for serving Jiangxi's grooming and holding the lamp. Because he and Qinghuan are the same people who came in, the relationship between the two is also very good.
Hearing Qing Huan's words, everyone looked towards Qing Le. At the beginning, this girl was still a little embarrassed, maybe she had been stared at for a long time, so she blushed and said very shyly: "I am from Suzhou, and my mother used to be an embroiderer, but such a good embroidery is all from our people, and only those old embroiderers who have the ability can embroider." This is the first time I have seen such exquisite embroidery, and I have never had that blessing before. ”
The other girls sighed twice, it seemed that it was impossible for them to have such exquisite embroidery. However, now that the master's family has it, it is good that they can see it all the time.
Jiang Xi said in her heart Sure enough, she said that the things that Qin Hao brought would not be everywhere over there, and the old embroidery lady who gave the embroidery was also a great character. I don't know how such a person and the old gentleman met, and how many emotional entanglements there were.
A group of people were discussing what to do with embroidery, when suddenly there was a commotion in the courtyard next door, and many people poured in, so that they heard the movement in the courtyard on their side.
Jiang Xi immediately put away the embroidery, glanced at Li Xuemei, and planned to go over to take a look. As soon as I got out of the house, I came to the courtyard, and I saw a little girl running at the gate of the courtyard, and she was about to cry when she saw them.
"Girl, cousin, go and see, the old lady was so angry with Mrs. Zhang that she almost vomited blood, and now everyone has fallen, Madame asked the slave to come and call you over."
Jiang Xi's eyes suddenly trembled, and his whole body froze.
Li Chunlan was angry with her grandmother, which reminded her of last year's incident, and the old man was also killed by anger. It was as if the situation had repeated itself, and the first thing that came to her mind was that grandma must not have an accident!
She has lost her grandparents, and if something happens to her grandma again, then she will have fewer and fewer relatives in this world.
Let go of Li Xuemei's hand, Jiang Xi rushed out, she wanted to go to the yard to have a look, no one could stop her!
"Xi'er!" Li Xuemei was also shocked, but she didn't expect Jiang Xi's reaction to be so big, and when Jiang Xi let go of her hand, she sensed that something was wrong, and as soon as she looked up, Jiang Xi's people were gone. She also ran out, but fortunately she was also bigfooted, otherwise there was really nothing she could do at this time.
"Mother!" Jiang Xi rushed into the Li family's courtyard, saw the Li family in a hurry at a glance, and hurriedly spoke, "Mother, grandma is fine, what happened!" ”
Li Shi was anxious, she was more afraid than Jiangxi. At the beginning, the old man didn't have it like this, she saw this scene with her own eyes on the side, it was only more than a year later, and the same scene appeared, she was more frightened than anyone else, worried that Grandma Jiangxi would be like their old man and disappear like this.
Hearing Jiangxi's voice, the Li family found a little bit of the backbone, and was about to speak, when he saw Qin Hao also come to the courtyard. The arrival of the two children finally made Li no longer so panicked.
"Mother, did you go to the doctor?" Qin Hao spoke calmly, and seeing that the Li family was still stunned, he immediately waved his hand and sent the little servants around him to the town to immediately find Doctor Yuan and them.
