Chapter Twenty-Four
Tang Jiao went to sleep when she returned to her yard, and woke up early the next morning until noon.
Thinking of the agreement with her uncle yesterday, she quickly got up and washed, and only ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast before going to the courtyard where Nullah Cheng lived.
Unexpectedly, the courtyard was quite lively, Tang Jiude and Tang Shi'an were there, even Tang Min was by his side, and several people were drinking tea.
Tang Jiao entered the room to salute and greet her, and was reprimanded by Tang Jiude.
"What's the longer the lazier? I'm just here to say hello to your uncle. ”
"It's okay, I was a little late talking to Jiaojiao last night," Nullah Cheng looked at Tang Jiao lovingly, "It's still too late, Jiaojiao will take me to your weaving workshop to have a look." ”
"Yes."
Tang Jiao led Nullah Cheng out, and Tang Jiude and Tang Shi'an followed.
"Don't keep up with the two Tang family brothers, you've worked hard with me this morning, I'll just go over with Jiaojiao." Nullah enlightenment.
"It's okay, I'm also idle, accompany Brother Ming......"
Before Tang Jiude finished speaking, Ming Qucheng said again: "Jiaojiao and I have some things to talk about silk, after all, it is a craft that is not passed on, and I ask the two brothers to forgive me." ”
Obviously didn't want to take them with them.
Tang Jiude was stunned for a moment, and he was embarrassed.
Nullah Cheng took Tang Jiao away, and Tang Jiude smiled on his face.
"What do you mean by this big brother of the Ming family? Isn't it just some kind of broken silk, as if we want to learn? Tang Shi'an muttered.
Tang Jiude glared at him.
"You know the, have you ever seen that thing? That's something that only the nobles in the capital can afford, and it's worth a lot! ”
Before Tang Shi'an could speak, Tang Min was full of calculations, "The uncle of the Ming family is so good to his cousin, he actually taught her such a craft, that is, in the future, my cousin will make a lot of money, but don't forget our Tang family." ”
Tang Jiude snorted, "Tang Jiao is my Tang Jiude's daughter, and what she learned is our Tang family." ”
"But uncle, my cousin will marry in the future, and sooner or later this craft will be brought to her mother-in-law's house." Tang Min said.
Tang Jiude's face sank instantly, "I am her Laozi, I don't allow her to marry, who does she dare to marry?" ”
"Uncle, if you spread this, I'm afraid it won't be a joke, and if you don't let your cousin get married, it's better to let her teach this craft to our Tang family, she teaches those outsiders to teach, and teaches our Tang family to teach."
Tang Min has not forgotten Tang Jiao's awesomeness, if she is allowed to stay in the Tang family, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out in the second room for the rest of their lives.
Craftsmanship is important, but Tang Jiao still has to leave the Tang Mansion to have a chance to control the Tang family.
Tang Jiude's expression was obviously moved by what he said.
Tang Jiao took the nullah to the weaving workshop at this time.
Originally, I was quite happy to show the things I had made to Nullah Cheng, but who knew that Nullah Cheng looked at it and didn't speak.
Tang Jiao looked very worried when she saw him like this, "Uncle......"
Ming Qucheng glanced at her and said, "You haven't studied for a long time, and it's already amazing to be able to do this, but if such a work is placed in front of your grandmother, it will definitely not be able to pass the eye." ”
Tang Jiao's heart instantly lifted, "Uncle may give you some advice?" ”
"You sit."
Tang Jiao sat down in front of the loom as instructed.
"The silk skills are ever-changing, the color is the most complicated, and you have done a good job of several common colors, but this phoenix tail, what do you think?"
As he spoke, Nullah Cheng pointed to the silk that Tang Jiao was making.
This is a painting "Bright Moon on the Sea", the color of the tide alternates between light and dark, and she uses a phoenix tail.
She learned silk from her grandmother when she was very young in Jiangnan, but she was naughty when she was a child, and often followed her cousin to play in the mountains, so much so that she missed her grandmother's class.
This was the case when I was learning this phoenix tail.
It's not that she can't learn this skill, it's just that this extremely ornamental skill is always a little stiff when she makes it.
"Please also ask my uncle for advice."
Nulvar Cheng was very patient to explain to her from the beginning, from how to wear the weft and how to choose the overlapping weft.
Tang Jiao has a strong comprehension ability, and she does have a talent for silk, and she already understands it after listening to it, so she immediately subtracted the part she had already made and started to do it again.
Nullah Cheng watched from the side, "Your cousins and cousins have been taught by your grandmother all the year round, but none of them have such talent as you, if you stayed in front of your grandmother back then, you are the one who inherits her mantle now." ”
Hearing his words really flattered Tang Jiao, "Uncle, you are serious, how can I tarnish my grandmother's high name with this trick." ”
Nullah Cheng shook his head with a smile, "You girl has even learned to be humble." ”
Looking at the silk that Tang Jiao was making, Nullah Cheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Tang Jiao, "Jiaojiao, your grandmother has figured out a new skill recently, do you want to learn it?" ”
Tang Jiao was stunned, "Is it okay?" ”
"Naturally," Nullah Cheng smiled softly, "Your grandmother used to say that skill lies in inheritance, in integration, and never for selfishness. ”
"My grandmother understands righteousness."
Nullah Cheng knocked her on the head, changed a loom, and started to tell Tang Jiao about the scriptures.
"Different face silk is different from ordinary silk, and it tests various techniques, you look at it well and learn it carefully."
Tang Jiao didn't even blink her eyes, and listened carefully to Nullah's explanation.
Lunch was sent by the fat girl, and the two of them ate some briefly, and continued to study in the afternoon.
Tang Jiao and Nullah Cheng stayed here all day, and only left when they were in charge of the lamp.
first sent Nullah Cheng back to his yard to rest, and Tang Jiao took the fat girl back.
was about to walk to her yard, and the fat girl told Tang Jiao that Chen Peiyao was sick.
Tang Jiao paused and turned around and walked directly to Chen Peiyao's yard, "Why did you only tell me now?" ”
The fat girl pouted when she saw Tang Jiao's worried appearance, "Isn't the young lady learning things from the uncle, and besides, the eldest young master has called the doctor, so it's useless for you to go over." ”
Tang Jiao's footsteps did not slow and entered Chen Peiyao's courtyard.
In her heart, Chen Peiyao was already her brother and friend, and she should go to see him.
When she entered the house, she didn't see Chen Peiyao outside, she shouted and there was movement inside, and Zou Niang walked out.
"Miss is here."
"How's my brother doing? What did the doctor say? ”
Zou Niang smiled, "Childe is fine, it's just a slight cold, I took medicine in the morning, and now I'm much better, I'm going to change my clothes and go to the front hall to eat." ”
Zou Niang said this, then it was fine.
"Then let my brother wait for me for a while, and I will go back to the yard to change my clothes."
Throwing down the words and running out, Chen Peiyao got dressed and came out, only to see the shaking door curtain.
"Slow down, watch your step." He raised his voice to prompt.
"Got it."
Through the window, Chen Peiyao didn't see her slow down at all, his eyes were full of helplessness.
Zou Niang looked at it from the side and said with a smile: "The young master has been waiting for Miss for a long time." ”
In the past, the young master hated seeing the doctor the most, but this morning he took the initiative to ask her to invite her, and asked the eldest lady several times throughout the day.
Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Chen Peiyao's mouth froze for a moment, and he looked away a little unnaturally.
