Shuning hurriedly said: "This is the Xiangsheng flower that my sister of the Zhou family gave me, and it is something she brought from Jinan, Shandong, which is expensive and cannot be used." ”

Chunxing was a little disappointed: "Grow flowers? Is it a head flower? It looks so good, it sticks to the surface of the box just right, but it can't be used. ”

"It's what I wear on my head, I'm not that old yet, so I'm taking it for nothing. Sister Zhou has a box there, and it is easy not to give it away, I heard that it is a silk yarn flower from a time-honored brand, and even the palace asks his family to pay tribute. ”

Chunxing listened, and immediately stood in awe, and hurriedly took the two flowers that she had carried in her hand, put them back in the box on the shelf, and then came back and said: "I've found it, I see how I have to get a flower or something to put it on to look good, but unfortunately I didn't find a suitable one, otherwise, the silk bow that the girl made on weekdays or something, can you use it first?" ”

Shuning didn't understand why Chunxing thought it would be better to decorate the Nanmu box with flowers, was it because the carvings on it were also flowers? But her words reminded her of one thing: isn't there a ready-made way to decorate the box with flowers made of silk and satin yarn?

Ribbon embroidered !!

In her previous life, she had been obsessed with cross-stitch for a while, and when she accidentally saw a more ornate ribbon embroidery, she immediately shifted her goal. It's a pity that I can only look at other people's exquisite works on the Internet, and I haven't had the opportunity to buy enough materials to try it myself, but she has seen the basic tutorial video of ribbon embroidery, and she still barely remembers several basic stitches, among which the most impressive is the embroidery of roses, and I have already wanted to try it, why not try it now?

Do what you think! These days, in order to make small flower bows or something, she has a lot of silk ribbons and other things on hand, and some commonly used fabrics are also available, including a white material, the cloth body is thicker and harder, but the density is moderate, which can be used as a base cloth. As for the needle, she found a needle with a slender eye from her second sister-in-law and used it directly. She thought about the patterns, drew the sketch, put on the embroidery shed, and began the adventure of the new embroidery method.

To get started, let's embroider some simple patterns. Shuning embroidered a ju flower first, that is, embroidered with chrysanthemum leaves, and then embroidered a flower core with a bean needle in the middle, which looked simple, but if she recalled the tutorial she had read a few years ago, a lot of brain cells had died. But once the embroidery is smooth, things become simpler. After embroidering the leaves and stems with a few brushes, she began to challenge the multi-layer rose embroidery she had been thinking about for a long time!

The first time, I didn't grasp the interval length of the next needle, and it didn't look good, and the second one began to look like a dot. In modern times, she always wanted to try but didn't have the opportunity to do ribbon embroidery, but she did it after traveling back to ancient times, life is really wonderful!

After embroidering for a few days, I felt that it was good, so I officially made a purse and showed it to my mother. Tong liked it very much, and said: "Everything else is okay, except for these roses, and those few flowers that I don't know what to call, they are really beautiful, and the whole one is erected, as if the real flowers are sewn up." Our girl is really capable, at such a young age, she came up with such a fresh and unique new embroidery method. ”

Shuning couldn't help blushing a little, she was so ashamed, she just copied the ribbon embroidery that she had seen in modern times, this embroidery method seemed to be circulated in the French court, I don't know if this embroidery method has appeared in France now? If not, it's a mess.

Tong praised his daughter, then changed his tone and said, "But although this method is fresh, except for those few flowers, the other stitches are too rough." E-Niang often says that you are impatient, you have to be more patient, but you always don't listen. Look, if you weren't impatient enough and thought about being lazy, how would you have come up with this idea? Don't be unconvinced, for example, if this leaf is made of silk thread, the stitches must be fine and even, the thread surface must be smooth, and the cloth surface must not be wrinkled, how much effort do you have to spend? And you embroidered with this silk ribbon, and it only took five or six stitches to embroider it, isn't it a trick? ”

Shuning was a little unconvinced, she admitted that she wanted to save time and effort when she embroidered the ribbon, but then she completely forgot about it, and just thought about making it as beautiful and gorgeous as possible, and spent a lot of thought. Besides, the two embroidery methods are not the same thing at all, how can my mother say that she is clever? She didn't embroider silk threads with ribbons!

Tong Shi then said: "Okay, this purse looks pretty good, just stay, and occasionally play with your ...... What is it called? Ribbon embroidery? It's okay to play occasionally, but to practice female celebrity on weekdays, you still have to focus on 'needlework'. Are you still needlework? The needle belt is alive. "Choked Shuning so much that she didn't change her breath for a long time.

How is this not needlework?! Needle or needle, it's just a ribbon ribbon as a thread, isn't it beautiful and beautiful? It would be nice to be able to use it as a decoration. Regardless of whether the cat is black or white, the one that can catch mice is a good cat, does anyone care if the cat grew up eating fish or cat food?

Shu Ning indignantly returned to the room with her purse, rummaged through the cabinets, and found a few balls of various colored velvet threads. Since my mother said that she had to use "needle" and "thread" to call needlework, she would do a "needlework" job to show her!

Choosing a piece of flannel with a smooth surface as the base, she put up the shed and embroidered a simple floral picture with the velvet thread. Speaking of this "velvet embroidery" practice and the ordinary embroidery method is almost the same, but the thread is several times thicker, which can save some time and effort at the same time, but also pay attention to keeping the thread surface flat and the stitches evenly proportioned. Fortunately, her basic skills are passable, and the embroidery is decent, but it takes a lot more time than ribbon embroidery.

Chun Xing saw her quietly embroidering in the room, and she also let go of her worries, she was afraid that Shuning would be depressed because of the blow. She quietly walked out and went to the upper room to report the matter to Tong, who nodded and told her to go back. When I went out, I happened to pass by my second sister-in-law.

When Tong saw the second sister-in-law come in, he watched Chunxing's figure disappear, and hurriedly called the second sister-in-law to his side and asked, "How is it?" Did you hear from that girl? ”

The second sister-in-law nodded: "Although the girl's mouth is very tight, she still heard about it after the slave knocked on the side." ”

Tong's eyes lit up: "Say it quickly!" ”

Most of what she said that day was true, but it was a little ominous. Brother Qing of the big house said that the house wanted to book a good family affair for him a few years ago, and he had not yet decided whether to choose Zhaojia's or Niu Hulu's young lady, and Brother Qing was pestering people because he liked Concubine Min's sister-in-law. In the spring, the young lady was promised, the man's family is the hereditary Guogong Mansion, because he heard about Brother Qing'er, the young master called someone to beat Brother Qing'er, and the city was full of storms. The old man and the uncle were afraid that Brother Qing would cause trouble outside again, so under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, he was not allowed to go out at home, and he was not allowed to go out until Miss Zhang passed the door. This matter is a bit big, but as a result, Zhaojia's and Niu Hulu's families both pushed off the marriage, and *** asked her mother's family to say that she had ordered an official lady surnamed Li for Qing Ge'er, and her father was a staff leader of the Han Army Banner. When this young lady heard that she didn't look good, Brother Qing was reluctant, so she locked herself in the room and didn't see anyone. Qiu Ju was originally a rough girl in the needlework room, because she looked a little like Miss Zhang's family between her eyebrows and eyes, Brother Qing accidentally met her, and she was going to her room to summon, and within half a month, she was going to officially accept the room. At that time, the house was exchanging Geng stickers with the Li family, and they were afraid that there would be extraneous branches, so they didn't allow it, but Brother Qing refused to eat. The milk was annoyed, so she locked him up directly, went back to his wife, and called the companion room to send Qiu Ju to us quietly. ”

After listening to the tirade, Tong Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it is not the fox who was sent to make trouble, I am relieved, how to say that I am also a nephew in the house, and I, as an aunt, will help Qingning take care of his sweetheart." ”

The second sister-in-law said: "Although grandma is kind, but Brother Qing may not be sincere to this girl, after a long time, when he marries, I am afraid that he will have a new person and forget the old one." Let the new daughter-in-law know in the future, I'm afraid that grandma will be difficult to behave. ”

"What about being a hard person? Does she dare to do anything to me as a junior? Besides, it's not that I want to help my nephew take care of Qiu Ju, it's my sister-in-law who personally sent someone to 'send' her over to call me, your third grandmother and I have always been the most merciful and merciful, and never treat people badly, not to mention the person sent by the eldest sister-in-law? ”

The two women looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

The conversation between her mother and the wet nurse, Shuning naturally didn't know that she was still fighting for the velvet embroidery in her hand. The mother is to be a housekeeper; The second sister-in-law is busy with other things now, and she has no time to pay attention to her; Xiao Tao got married and left home; Xiaomei has to wait for her brother's life, and she is a person who doesn't like to talk; Chun Xing has to take care of the kitchen, and she can't be in front of her all the time. She found that the people who could have given her guidance in needlework were busy, and as a last resort, she turned to the newcomer Qiu Ju for help.

Qiu Ju was taken aback at first, probably for the first time when she met a young lady who asked Yahuan for advice, and she was a little moved, so she taught with more snacks. She also has strengths in needlework, and with her help, Shuning successfully completed a "Dish Love Flower" picture that would have been embroidered for at least a month if she used ordinary silk thread, although it was a little out of shape, but at least the lines of butterflies and flowers were very clear.

Now Tong Shi can't say that she is not doing "needlework", but she still thinks that these new methods are too tricky. She gently persuaded her daughter: "Embroidery is also like practicing big characters, peace of mind is the most important, and impatience in the heart can't embroider good patterns." E-Niang hopes that you will be patient in embroidery, and also hope that you will sharpen your own temperament. You yourself will say that you are anxious, and practicing calligraphy is to cultivate your mind, how can you forget this in learning embroidery? ”

Shuning was a little ashamed, she also knew that her patience was insufficient. However, Tong's words changed and he praised her again: "But the two new embroidery methods you have made recently are still quite fresh, and it is hard for you to think of them." It's also good to play occasionally on weekdays as a spice. My daughter is so smart, she is much better than others. ”

Is this a slap in the face and a sweet date? The "other's" mentioned in this sentence can't be the one she thinks in her heart, right? It seems that in recent months, the Tong family has been very dissatisfied with the niece of Wanning, who is famous for her beauty and intelligence.
