Hua Jin smiled slightly and looked at Mother Du, "Then it will bother Mother Du." ”

"The fifth girl said this, but it was a pain in the old slave." After speaking, he retreated without raising his head.

When he went to Zhaohui Courtyard to ask An to come back, Hua Jin still chose to read in the study.

After lunch, the main house sent a little maid to invite, saying that the embroidery girl had entered the house to Hongxun Courtyard.

Hua Jin got up, let Bai Tao stay in the house, and took Lingxiang and Yanran to the west room where Hua Wei lived.

Although this place was empty, there was still a little maid guarding it, and when she saw her come in, she hurriedly bent over and saluted and said inside: "The fifth girl is here." ”

Hua Jin couldn't help asking, "Who is inside?" ”

Before the little maid could reply, a voice like a lark rang out: "The fifth sister is here." ”

The curtain was raised high, Hua Wei walked out, and took her hand again, "Sister, come and meet Du Niangzi." ”

Du Niangzi? Embroidery?

Hua Wei pulled Hua Jin into the room, and whispered in her ear: "Fifth sister, this Du lady is so powerful, she used to embroider royal tribute in the embroidery village in Jiangnan." ”

As he was talking, a young woman with a letter was coming out, but Hua Jin didn't expect this Du lady to be so young and graceful.

"Fifth sister, this is Du Niangzi, teach us needlework and embroidery in the future."

Hua Jin couldn't help but raise his eyes to look, only to see that Du Niangzi was wearing a blue-collared placket and a white red plum blossom horse-faced skirt. Although the fabrics are very ordinary, the plum blossoms embroidered on the skirt make Hua Jin seem to smell the fragrance of plums.

"Say hello to the fifth girl." Du Niangzi stepped forward and saluted, her tone was not far away, and her tone was soft and tenacious.

It wasn't until this Du Niangzi got up that Hua Jin saw her appearance clearly, although she did not have an outstanding posture, but there was a bit of charm hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Bringing this kind of young woman with mature charm and demagogy into the inner courtyard, I don't know what kind of heart Luo Shi'an has?

Just thinking about it, the voice of the little maid outside the house came again: "The sixth girl is here." ”

Hua Jin turned around and saw Hua Rui walking in with the maid forsythia, and when he saw that everyone in the room was there, he actually showed a panicked look, "Fifth sister, seventh sister, I'...... I'm late. ”

"No, I just entered the house." Hua Jin let her in and laughed, "And the embroidery of the sixth sister is already very good, even if the seventh sister and I steal the study for a long time, we still can't catch up with you." ”

"Nope! No! Hua Rui waved her hand again and again, "My sister is not talented." "Even the little face is a little white.

Hua Jin was a little helpless, a little joke scared her like this, what a sensitive and fragile little girl in her inner world!

"Okay, let's stop laughing, now that everyone is here, let's get started." After speaking, she took the lead in sitting in the center of the three embroidery shelves, and the opposite position was Du Niangzi.

Seeing her seated, Hua Wei sat on her right hand, and Hua Rui was on the far left.

Du Niangzi Shi Shiran walked in front of the three girls, but moved the embroidery frame in front of her to the side, "I know that the three girls are all famous ladies, and they must have certain attainments in needlework and embroidery." But ......," she smiled lightly, "if I teach today, then I will start with the basics." ”

Hua Jin, Hua Rui, and Hua Wei all nodded, and the maids who were waiting in the room came over and moved the embroidery frame in front of them to the side.

After that, Du Niangzi took out the embroidery bandage and embroidery needle from the embroidery basket, fixed a piece of common silk cloth larger than the handkerchief on the embroidery bandage, and said with a smile: "Embroidery requires the stitch method to be smooth, qi, flat, even, and clean." No matter what complex stitches are used to embroider how difficult the pattern is, it is inseparable from a stitch and a thread. ”

"Makes sense." Hua Wei echoed, and her voice was crisp and pleasant.

Coincidentally, at this time, the silver frost charcoal in the charcoal basin in the house also made a "crackling" sound.

Hua Jin also learned from Du Niangzi and stretched the prepared silk cloth on the embroidery bandage.

It's just that she feels that the fabric is very slippery, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for stitching.

Seeing that the two younger sisters were silent, she, an embroidery layman, naturally wouldn't say anything, how Du Niangzi taught, she learned.

Seeing that the three girls were ready, Du Niangzi said: "Now let's take a few stitches, and use the simplest stitch method of flat embroidery." After speaking, he picked out the embroidery thread and threaded the needle, and his long fingers flew over, and he simply embroidered a few stitches on the embroidery cloth.

Flat embroidery is the easiest embroidery method, and Lingxiang also taught her when Hua Jin was in the room.

She picked out her favorite lake blue embroidery thread, threaded the needle and began to stitch the cloth.

But the cloth ...... Although the tip of the needle does not slip on it, it still makes the needle a little unstable.

Du Niangzi smiled lightly, "I know that this is difficult for a few masters, but since the second lady spent money to invite me here, I will teach you to do it." ”

Hua Jin had no objection to Du Niangzi's idea, but he heard Hua Wei beside him ask: "Will Du Niangzi teach us double-sided embroidery in the future?" ”

Du Niangzi still smiled lightly, "Then it also depends on the attainments of the masters." ”

Hua Jin felt Hua Rui on the other side of her side, her body tightened a little tighter, it seemed that she wanted to learn double-sided embroidery.

Don't think about these first, Hua Jin began to deal with the line in his hand, and found that it would take a lot of trouble to achieve the smoothness, qi, flatness, evenness, and cleanliness that Du Niangzi said on this piece of fabric.

However, embroidery is also a matter of practice makes perfect, embroidered to the second piece of cloth when Hua Jin has felt that the needle is much smoother, to the third piece of cloth stitches are also a lot smoother. But it is still a little short of the smoothness, qi, flatness, evenness, and cleanliness required by Du Niangzi.

Hua Jin unconsciously looked at the two younger sisters beside him, and saw that Hua Wei and her speed needles were about the same.

Hua Rui has already embroidered six pieces of cloth, and the stitches on the first piece of cloth from the very beginning are very smooth and dense.

"The six girls embroidered well." Even Du Niangzi nodded approvingly to her.

Hua Rui's face, which had been cautious, unconsciously had a faint smile.

Du Niangzi put away the embroidery tools she brought and saluted to the three girls, "Today's two hours have passed, and I will teach a few girls these today." ”

Hua Jin got up, Bai Tao had already brought the cloak over, and the three girls dispersed.

As soon as she returned to the house, Bai Tao asked nervously: "The fifth girl is tired, is it okay for the slave to help the girl rub her fingers?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Hua Jin looked at Bai Tao with a worried face and smiled slightly, "Let people go to the second gate to keep an eye on it, if my brother's carriage enters the courtyard, come and inform me immediately." ”

Bai Tao responded, and as soon as she turned around and went out, Ling Xiang came in with hot tea, "Girl, take a sip of tea and rest." ”

Hua Jin sat on the big kang near the window, picked up the Ruyao tea cup on the kang table, she lifted the lid, skimmed the tea leaves on it, and just saw Yanran running out to inquire about the news.
