Chapter 108: Splendid Mandarin Ducks
The next day, Yuxi found the embroidery needle and thread, bought a white silk square scarf in the store, and prepared to start embroidering.
When everything was ready, Yuxi opened a long-collected album and found a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the album page, and then began to embroider the flowers stitch by stitch according to the picture.
Yuxi constructed the outline on the brocade and embroidered it with colorful needles and threads.
She spent a morning embroidering the head of the mandarin duck. This is an orange-red mandarin duck, bright red head feathers, black eyes, blue ingots on the neck, and a slightly closed yellow mouth, looking back at a mandarin duck behind.
After embroidering, Yuxi stopped the needle and thread in her hand, closed her tired eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.
Then Yuxi opened her eyes and looked at the Jinpa in her hand, she kept looking at the mandarin duck that was beginning to show its outline, and a pair of shallow pear vortices appeared on her cheeks.
She smiled slightly, her heart was extremely excited, although this mandarin duck had only embroidered a head, it still looked more delicate.
The mandarin duck's eyes were embroidered brightly, and he was looking at her intently on the brocade.
Yuxi felt interested all of a sudden, she felt full of passion, her beautiful eyes flashed with bright luster, and now she was more confident to finish embroidering this mandarin duck playing in the water.
Yuxi rested for a while, then picked up the needle and thread and embroidered again.
This time she is going to embroider the body of a mandarin duck. Of course, the body of this mandarin duck is bright red feathers, and Yuxi replaced it with a red thin thread and embroidered it stitch by stitch.
Maybe Yuxi hasn't done the work of a female celebrity for too long, and her movements were a little rusty at first, but Yuxi quickly entered the state and became proficient with stitches and threads.
Yuxi stabbed the embroidery needle into the brocade and then flipped her hand to stab the embroidery needle from the back to the top of the brocade pa.
Her left hand clenched the embroidery, and the index finger and thumb of her right hand carefully pinched the gleaming silver needle that was exposed.
Suddenly, Yuxi let out an exclamation, her index finger felt a tingling pain, and the sharp needle tip pierced into Yuxi's index finger, and instantly oozed a bright red blood bead on her white and tender fingertips.
Yuxi couldn't help but be a little flustered, and accidentally pressed her index finger on the bright feathers of the mandarin duck, and in a blink of an eye, the drop of blood slowly seeped on the brocade, rendering the red feathers of the mandarin duck more vivid and transparent, as if dyed with a layer of luster, which was very eye-catching.
Yuxi exhaled: "Fortunately, this drop of blood didn't get touched anywhere else, otherwise it would be difficult to play with it if it fell on the white satin, fortunately, it dripped on the feathers of the mandarin duck, and it was not too conspicuous, but the red feathers of this mandarin duck are even more beautiful, more eye-catching than the red just now, count me lucky, the effort was not in vain." ”
She sucked her index finger on her lips, and soon the bleeding stopped, but there was still a slight tingling.
Yuxi put down the embroidery bandage, grabbed the index finger with her left hand and pinched it a little harder, the faint tingling sensation slowly disappeared, and the wound smaller than the tip of the needle quickly recovered as before, no longer oozing blood stains.
Immediately afterwards, Yuxi pinched the embroidery needle and continued to embroider.
Time passed slowly, and Yuxi embroidered quickly. Slowly, a mandarin duck floating on the surface of the water began to take shape.
It has colorful wings on its back, red feathers on its belly, a long red feather on its head and looks back, and the blue feathers on its neck are very beautiful.
Yuxi looked at the mandarin duck that was beginning to take shape, she was very surprised, she stopped the movement in her hand, inserted the embroidery needle on the brocade handkerchief, and stretched out her white fingers to caress the mandarin duck's feathers.
"It's so beautiful, this mandarin duck looks pretty well embroidered, and it's not in vain that I learned embroidery for so long. ”
Yuxi muttered to herself, she was very happy that she could embroider such a work, although she didn't embroider often, but this time, the embroidered thing looked quite satisfied.
Yuxi became more and more interested, and she planned to continue to embroider again.
Although she had been embroidering with her head hanging down for so long, her neck was slightly sore, and her eyes were tired, since she found that her craftsmanship was still exquisite, she had more reasons to complete this splendid painting.
Yuxi decided to rest for a while, she went to the kitchen, got some food, and planned to fill her stomach first. She didn't want to waste time eating with her family, because it took some time for everyone to eat together, and she had to sit together and eat slowly.
Yuxi plans to save the time for eating for the time being, so that she can finish her embroidery.
She and the servants told them that lunch should be eaten first, and that they should tell their father that they did not have to wait for her to eat with them. Then Yuxi made a bowl of rice, ate a little bit of the dish that was prepared first, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks and went straight to his boudoir.
When she arrived at the boudoir, Yuxi lay on the incense couch and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
After about a quarter of an hour, Yuxi got up and went to the copper basin to wash her face so that she could keep enough energy.
After a while, Yuxi's eyes became brighter, and she continued to sit in the light in front of the window, picked up the embroidery bandage and continued to embroider the flowers.
This time she plans to embroider another mandarin duck.
This mandarin duck still has a long red head feathers, but the neck is embroidered with dark green feathers, and the belly is a pink belly feather.
Yuxi threaded the needle quickly, and her fingers fluttered up and down in Jinpa, like a flying little swallow.
Her movements were very light, not a little stiff as at first, and now Yuxi was fully in shape, engrossed in connecting the embroidery threads on the white brocade hand.
After two hours, the second mandarin duck was embroidered.
Yu Xi was satisfied and stopped what she was doing, staring blankly at the two mandarin ducks that had jumped on top of the Jinpa.
The mandarin duck in the back was staring at the blue mandarin duck in front of him, and a pair of small yellow wings were slightly spread on his back, as if he was extremely excited, echoing the mandarin duck in front.
Yuxi curled the corners of her mouth slightly, staring at the two spiritual creatures floating on the Jinpa, and she whispered excitedly: "Almost, this time I'm finally about to finish embroidering, it looks pretty good, I don't know if Riich will like it." ”
"Well, there seems to be something missing, what more should I embroider?"
Yuxi took her eyes off the brocade and glanced at the album of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and then seemed to have made a new discovery: "Hey! That's right! I should embroider some lotus flowers and water plants or something, that's right! ”
As the sun set in the courtyard, the light that shone into the interior gradually dimmed.
Yuxi raised her head, only to realize that she had spent a whole day embroidering this Jinpa.
