Rui Hexiang's ushers received Su Shi politely, neither so enthusiastic, nor cold, neither humble nor arrogant, all words and deeds made the guests feel very comfortable and comfortable.

Su Shi walked around the store very casually, and then walked in front of the customer.

"Childe, do you have a favorite?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "I like that jade brocade." ”

"Childe, how many feet do you need?"

Su Shi said: "Although I like the jade brocade, but I feel too quiet, I want to embroider some flowers and plants on it, do you have a recommendation?" ”

The usher smiled, nodded and said, "What does Childe want to embroider on the jade brocade, you only need to draw the style, and we will naturally arrange embroiderers to relieve Childe's worries." ”

Su Shi said lightly: "But I may not be able to see the skills of ordinary embroiderers." ”

The usherer smiled and said, "What do you need?" ”

"I heard that Tang Xiunu is a personal disciple of the former Shen Needle Hui Niang, and her embroidery skills are naturally higher than others."

"That's nature. It's just ......"

"Just what?"

The usher sighed slightly: "It is precisely because of the embroidery girl's exquisite embroidery skills that there are many people looking for her, if the son wants to find the embroidery girl, I am afraid that it will be three months later." ”

Su Shi smiled: "I can wait." ”

The customer said: "The price of embroidered women's embroidery is also several times higher than that of others. ”

"Money isn't an issue either."

Seeing that Su Shi was so generous, the usher smiled and said: "Then please also ask Gongzi to set a few feet of jade brocade, after making a decision, we will arrange it ourselves, and we will never let Gongzi wait for a long time." ”

Su Shi said: "But I have a small request. ”

"Childe, please speak."

"I want to meet Tang Xiunu first." Su Shi explained: "Because I want to hear her opinion on the style. ”

This is also human nature, and the visitor will naturally not refuse, he replied: "The embroidery girl is in the embroidery room on the third floor, and I will guide the son in front." ”

Su Shi nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

The two of them went to the third floor one after the other.

The third floor is all embroidery rooms, some large and some small, the large is ten people in a room, and the small one is one person in a room.

Tang Xiunu is naturally one person and one room.

The usher led Su Shi to the middle of the third floor, and the door was closed at this time, and the usher stood at the door and shouted softly: "Xiuniang, there is a distinguished guest." ”

I only heard a lazy voice from inside: "Distinguished guests, please come in." ”

Only then did the usher open the door and say to Su Shi, "Childe, please come in." ”

He didn't go in because the embroidery lady didn't tell him to go in.

No one is allowed to enter her room unless she is instructed to do so.

This is the rule set by the embroiderer.

But everyone must follow her rules.

Because she is a personal disciple of Shen Needle Hui Niang. Although her embroidery skills are not yet as good as her master, in the eyes of many people, they are not far behind.

And many people believe that within three years, Xiuniang will definitely surpass Hui Niang.

So no one in Rui and Xiang dared to offend her.

Because the embroidery girl alone made more money than the other seventy-six people combined.

Su Shi stood in the room, which was filled with all kinds of silk, but each piece of silk was absolutely superb.

It's not the best silk, how can it be worth the embroidery.

Xiuniang sat behind the wide table and saw Su Shi come in, but she didn't get up, but just said lightly: "Childe, please take a seat." ”

Su Shi sat down, then looked at the embroidery girl, and was immediately attracted by her hands.

The hands are slender, neat, well-proportioned, and flexible, like a work of art that is unforgettable.

Then Su Shi looked at her face.

Xiuniang is no longer young, about thirty years old, the whole person looks very lazy and casual, but her eyes are very smart and sharp, even if she inadvertently glanced at Su Shi, Su Shi felt as if she was seen through by that gaze.

Perhaps it is precisely because of such a pair of hands and eyes that Tang Xiuniang's embroidery can be superb.

"Childe has a favorite style in his heart?"

The embroidery lady didn't have any polite words, because time was precious to her.

Su Shi nodded and said, "I once saw an embroidery on a handkerchief, and I liked it very much, so I wanted to ask the embroiderer to make one for me." ”

"Did you bring the handkerchief boy?"

Su Shi shook his head. Since he knew that the handkerchief was a royal thing, he naturally would not show it easily.

The embroidery lady said, "Can the boy draw the picture on paper?" ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "I don't know anything about painting. ”

At this time, Su Shi said: "But I can describe the embroidery to the Tang family, maybe the Tang family will understand after hearing it." ”

Xiuniang couldn't help frowning, because she had a very wonderful feeling, and Su Shi saw that she seemed to have another purpose.

"Childe, please speak."

"It was a one-foot-square handkerchief, and a lone plum was drawn on the lower right side of the handkerchief, the trunk zigzagged upward, and a red plum bloomed proudly on the branches."

Su Shi spoke very slowly, and he was observing the embroidery girl's expression as he spoke.

However, what disappointed him was that after he finished speaking, the embroidery girl's expression did not change.

She smiled and said: "I don't know how many people in the world have Lone Mei in the painting, and the son is only afraid that he is embarrassed by the concubine." ”

Su Shi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the skills of the Tang family are unparalleled, I can't admire it yet, how dare I embarrass the Tang family." ”

"But Childe is vague, and how do you tell me to get a needle?"

Su Shi said: "In addition to the lonely plum tree, there is a strange place in that handkerchief?" ”

"Strange place?" The embroidery lady said silently: "I don't know where the strangeness is with that handkerchief?" ”

Su Shi stared at the embroidery lady and said slowly: "There are four peculiar patterns on the handkerchief, each pattern is the size of a fingernail, and the embroidery is simple and elegant, obviously made by the master." I don't know if everyone knows that the embroidery of this handkerchief is the masterpiece of which master? ”

The embroidery girl was silent for a long time, and when she looked up at Su Shi, she no longer had a lazy expression at this time, and her eyes were like torches, as if she wanted to see him through.

Su Shi didn't avoid her gaze, and his expression didn't change at all.

After a long time, the embroidery lady slowly spoke: "I have talked with the son for so long, and I haven't asked the son for his name, but the embroidery girl is not." ”

"My name is Su Shi."

Hearing this name, Xiuniang looked surprised, and she couldn't help but ask, "General Su's second son?" ”

"Yes."

"Mirror Lake Poetry Society?"

Su Shi sighed: "Sort of." ”

"Sort of?" The embroidery girl didn't understand.

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Because strictly speaking, I didn't participate in the poetry club at all, and I don't know why I got this title." ”

"Gongzi is modest, he can write eight poems in a row, and each one is amazing, who else can this Jinghu poetry club poet be if it is not Su Gongzi."

Su Shi didn't expect that he would talk about the Jinghu Poetry Club in such a place, but he didn't come here to talk about the Jinghu Poetry Club, so he couldn't help asking: "Don't you really have a little impression of that handkerchief?" ”
