Chapter 22: Splendid

If you want to sew the uniqueness of this golden lotus, it is not enough to have exquisite craftsmanship.

The choice of material should not be underestimated.

In the ancient civilization of the country, it has created a brilliant and splendid clothing culture.

People often use embroidery to decorate clothes, skirts, jackets, pillows and other daily necessities to beautify life.

And since ancient times, embroidery has a long history, until the present day.

In the embroidery industry, they are the four famous embroideries of Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Shu embroidery and Guangdong embroidery, which are well-known at home and abroad.

In addition, there are Beijing embroidery, Ou embroidery, Gu embroidery, Miao embroidery, card embroidery, Rong embroidery, Han embroidery, hair embroidery, machine embroidery, velvet embroidery, cut velvet embroidery, raffia embroidery and so on, all of which are in their own school.

The origins of embroidery date back more than 3,000 years. Legend has it that there was a bright and beautiful girl in ancient Suzhou who was rushing to make a new dowry before getting married, and accidentally poked a hole in the placket during the production process.

She was in a hurry to embroider a small flower with colored velvet, which not only covered up the hole, but also looked extraordinarily beautiful, which played the icing on the cake.

Inspired for the first time, the smart Suzhou people began to like to wear embroidered clothes. According to the record of "Shuo Yuan" written by Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Wu people began to apply embroidery techniques to beautify life.

Until the Three Kingdoms period, Suzhou embroidery has developed to a high level.

It is said that Mrs. Zhao during the Three Kingdoms period used her expertise in both painting and embroidering to make a "painting embroidery" for Sun Quan, which was called "needle mastery" by the people of the time, so Mrs. Zhao became the originator of "painting and embroidery".

However, although there are many embroidery techniques, Mu Bangting's favorite embroidery technique is the craft of double-sided embroidery.

This double-sided embroidery is not only about the accuracy of the needle, but also about the color and silk thread. The embroidery embodied must not only reach the professional level, but also have strength, and the selection of silk threads also has a deep relationship.

It's not easy.

Regarding the silk thread of this material, Mu Bangting has already thought about it.

If you want to embody the brilliance and splendor of the golden lotus, it is impossible to accomplish it with this ordinary silk thread level alone.

So Mu Bangting decided to use milled gold as the material, although it made her a little painful; But in order to embroider this golden lotus, I had to let it out.

When the gold is crushed into powder, a little stain can be applied to the thread.

In this way, the dazzling golden lotus can not only be perfectly reflected, but also can be a good light of the golden lotus.

After Mu Bangting sewed for a long time, she finally sewed this double-sided golden lotus.

Although the process of sewing was very tiring, when Mu Bangting saw the golden lotus that was sewn into life, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

The woman was pierced into her eyes by a burst of light, and walked over with a light lotus step.

When he saw this golden lotus that radiated brilliance, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart.

In her lifetime, she had never seen such gorgeous embroidery skills, and even though she had learned embroidery techniques for more than ten years, in front of this golden lotus, it seemed insignificant.

"It's... This is what you embroidered? ”

Mu Wangting raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly a little unhappy.

The thread was still in her hand, if she hadn't embroidered it, or had the ghost embroidered it for her?

Then, Mu Wangting nodded slightly.

The woman's eyes were full of incredulity, and she slowly came back to her senses after looking at Jin Lian for a long time.

"It's well embroidered, I'll take a look at it."

Mu Wangting cut the silk thread and tied it with a buckle and handed it over.

When the woman took the golden lotus, she was surprised when one hand touched the texture underneath.

She slowly flipped Jin Lian's back. But I was surprised to find that there was also such a golden lotus embroidered behind the embroidered embroidery support.

couldn't help but sigh and admire:

"It's really wonderful, I, Feng Qi Niang, have never seen this magical embroidery technique in my life for dozens of years. Dare to ask the eldest lady what this embroidery technique is called. ”

Mu Wangting slightly hooked the corners of her lips, as if she was very satisfied with Feng Qiniang's praise.

"I call it double-sided embroidery"

After Feng Qiniang heard this, she nodded unexpectedly.

After Mu Wanxin glanced at Jin Lian, she couldn't help but clench her fists deeply and insert her nails into her flesh under the cover of her sleeves.

But her eyes were full of jealousy!

Pain? It seemed that she had long since lost her feelings.

Although the peony is also one of the kings of flowers, she thinks she has done a good job in terms of silk thread and sewing.

But picking up the golden lotus and comparing it with the peony in front of him is not worth mentioning at all.

After all, she was still slightly inferior to Mu Bangting.

As soon as she thought of this, Mu Wanxin couldn't help but grit her teeth, and glanced at Mu Bangting angrily:

Since you want to shine in front of the Dou clan so much, I Mu Wanxin will not let you get your wish.

Thinking of this, Mu Wanxin suddenly pulled up a weird smile.

......

The next day, Mu Bangting went to ask the old lady for peace as usual, but she was stopped halfway.

"Isn't this Ting's girl?" A voice rang out in the air.

After seeing the girls who came over and Xiao Shi, Bi Qian couldn't help but hide sideways behind Mu Bangting.

Mu Wangting looked over and saw several girls striding over.

The gorgeous and charming woman who walked at the forefront was her good second sister Mu Bangxin.

Mu Wanxin's eyes narrowed slightly. Then he made a slight and elegant gesture:

"Bang Xin said hello to the eldest sister."

It stands to reason that Mu Bangting's seniority is one level higher than Mu Bangxin.

But I have never seen Mu Wanxin salute her so ceremoniously.

She only nodded faintly, and then said:

"Second sister, get up. The eldest sister can't stand your worship. ”

Mu Wanxin smiled dignified at the moment:

"What did the eldest sister say, as the only concubine of Shangshu Mansion, the eldest sister naturally received the worship of Bang Xin."

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

Mu Bangxin will have this kind of enlightenment. Unless the water of the West Lake flows backwards and the sun rises in the west.

Otherwise, with this personality of Mu Bangxin; is the master who will never admit defeat so easily.

"You and I are both sisters from the same Mu Mansion, so how can you say that you are a concubine? If the two sisters go together to greet the old lady, they will stop by together. ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Mu Wanxin's eyes.

Then they followed Mu Bangting together.

"Erniang also has this intention, that is, let's go together..."

After Mu Wangting smiled faintly, she was expressionless.

At this moment, Mu Wanxin sneered in her heart: I'm afraid that at this time, what she ordered to go down should have been done.
