Chapter 58 Embroidery
One day later, Master Zhang came to the study early to wait for the young ladies.
After everyone was seated, Master Zhang asked, "Second Miss, I don't know how the task assigned last time was completed?"
Xiahou Jing embarrassedly took out a silk handkerchief, embroidered with a few unknown flowers, looking at one side alone, the stitching method was smooth and the embroidery was excellent, but when it was turned over, the other side was crooked and twisted.
Zhang Fuzi held it in his hand and pointed out a few places that should be paid attention to.
Because Xiahou Yu is young, she only needs to hand in one piece of work according to herself every time.
The embroidery brought today is a few bees, and the small bees embroidered on the brocade cloth are also full of grace, this age is already rare, Zhang Fuzi did not hesitate to praise a few words, Xiahou Yu grinned happily.
After a circle, Zhang Fuzi walked up to Xiahoushuang and said, "What about the eldest lady's work?"
Xiahou Shuang did not hurry to take out a piece of white silk cloth, which was embroidered with more than ten strands of silk thread such as gold and crimson, the outline of the front and back sides was exactly the same, and the pattern was equally exquisite, even if it was meticulous in the slightest part of the scales and whiskers.
The two koi fish are vividly walking on the brocade cloth, as if they want to come back to life, looking at this needle, it is impossible to have this achievement without more than ten years of practice.
Holding it in his hand in disbelief, Master Zhang asked in disbelief: "This ...... No way, how did you do that?"
Xiahou Jing was also shocked in her heart, she couldn't believe that this was her eldest sister's work, Xiahou Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch it and said in surprise: "Big sister is so amazing, the embroidery is so good." ”
Xiahou Shuang stood quietly, the sun outside the house shone on her face, flickering bright and dark, and her expression was calm.
Looking at Master Zhang's gaffe expression, he said in a cold tone: "Naturally, I embroidered it, does Master think that there is a fake." ”
Zhang Fuzi held the embroidery in his hand and looked at it again and again, still in disbelief. Xiahou Shuang is just a young lady in her teens, how can she have such skills? Even dozens of years old herself does not have such a level.
Xiahou Shuang stood there calmly, two lives, although he had never practiced embroidery hard in this life, but in the previous life, he followed the original Qi Fuzi in the house for a period of time, and later Qi Fuzi returned home due to illness. But he didn't leave the embroidery in his hands behind, and often took it out to practice.
This double-sided embroidery has been practiced perfectly, this time it is obvious that Master Zhang intends to make things difficult, if he does not succeed in the class, what he is waiting for may be punished by the master.
Thinking of the news that Hongxia brought back, the hand in the few words he heard probably meant that his hand was injured, and he naturally couldn't go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet set up by the queen's mother.
Lin's mother and daughter are really a good plan!
Xiahou Shuang glanced at this master, this person actually aided in the abuse! It's a pity that he still missed out on how to embroider on both sides, and this time he was going to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
Zhang Fuzi was immersed in his shock and did not come back to his senses for a long time, when he heard the voice of a maid outside the study, it turned out to be the old lady coming.
The old lady entered the study and said with a smile: "The weather is very good today, I came out and went to the vicinity of the study, and I stopped by to see how a few girls were learning." ”
After saluting the old lady, Zhang Fuzi said: "A few days ago, I assigned tasks to several young ladies, asking the eldest lady and the second young lady to hand in a double-sided embroidery work, and today the two young ladies handed it in as scheduled. ”
After finishing speaking, his brows furrowed, and he said, "It's just that the eldest lady ...... this work."
"Why, but can't you see the frost girl's embroidery?" the old lady lifted her eyelids in displeasure.
The old lady didn't like it in her heart, how long did Master Zhang come, and let her granddaughter come up with such an embroidery that was difficult to complete, isn't this obviously embarrassing?
But when he asked the master to come to the door and put the granddaughters in the hands of the master to study, there was no reason for him to interfere, although he was unhappy in his heart, he only asked casually.
Zhang Fuzi shook his head and denied after listening to the old lady's words: "No, it's the eldest lady's work that is too good." ”
As she spoke, she handed over the embroidery in her hand, and the old lady took it and took it in her hand and looked at it in surprise and said, "Frost girl, is this what you embroidered?"
"Doesn't grandmother believe in her granddaughter anymore?" Xiahou Shuang relieved her usual indifference to her grandmother, and listened to the old lady's words.
"Of course not, my granddaughter is proficient in everything, but grandmother doesn't know when you practiced so exquisitely. The old lady smiled heartily.
Xiahou Jing glanced at her eldest sister, and at this moment, Xiahou Shuang rarely showed a smile, as bright and dazzling as a pearl.
There is an indescribable feeling in her heart, there is jealousy and unwillingness to look up and a trace of unspeakable envy, the eldest sister does everything perfectly, but she can't do anything well, Xiahou Jing has a faint sense of inferiority and loss in her heart.
Zhang Fuzi waited for the old lady and the two to talk about it and said, "Old lady, I still have a few words to ask the eldest lady." ”
The old lady stopped laughing, nodded and said to Master Zhang: "Master, don't be polite, you can ask if you have anything." ”
Zhang Fuzi didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Since the eldest lady said that this embroidery was done by herself, I still have doubts in my heart, so please answer truthfully." ”
Xiahou Shuang glanced at Master Zhang, and said coldly: "You ask." ”
Master Zhang was bitter in his heart, but he had already offended the eldest lady at this point, so he could only continue, and he couldn't mess up the things assigned by Mrs. Xiahou.
He opened his mouth and asked: "I think this embroidery is difficult to complete without more than ten years of exercises, I don't know how the eldest lady did it?"
Xiahou Shuang pulled her face, smiled slightly, and said, "The exercises of more than ten years are just what the master thinks, and it only takes one year to do it with me." ”
"Impossible!" Zhang Fuzi said in a lost voice.
Xiahou Shuang smiled and said, "Master doesn't believe it, I'm embroidering a pair on the spot." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Zhang Fuzi to answer, he sat directly in front of the embroidery frame, threaded the needle and thread, and began to get busy.
Mama Chen helped the old lady to sit down beside her. Zhang Fuzi and Xiahou Jing stood on both sides of the embroidery frame, watching Xiahou Shuang's hand pinching the needle fly up and down.
Only Xia Houyu was a little dazed, and he didn't know what was going on at all, but seeing that everyone didn't speak, he bit his fingers and sat on the stool and didn't dare to come out.
The room was silent, only the sound of a needle passing through the brocade cloth sounded a "snort".
Without letting everyone wait, a nameless little flower appeared on the embroidery frame, Xiahou Shuang took off the bandage and handed it to Master Zhang.
In fact, when Xiahoushuang began to embroider, Zhang Fuzi was already surprised when he saw that the needlework was so skillful, and he believed half of what Xiahoushuang said.
Now I hold it in my hand, turn it over and look at it a few times, and then I sigh secretly, it turns out that there is really a genius, but I am lonely and unheard.
