After the first greeting, Chang Xia eats honestly, but ye Caixin and Mo Yun chat. What they talk about is something that sounds "tall" like, such as contemporary literary masters, art calligraphy and painting, classical musicals. Anyway, they are boring things that Chang Xia doesn't like at all.
After dinner and preparing for class, ye Caixin solemnly tells Chang Xia that she must study well with Mo Yun. If it wasn't for Qi Qian's face, she would put Chang Xia in the dark room again and be punished today. Anyway, what she meant was that if there was another moth in Chang Xia, she would put Chang Xia in a dark room.
Well, ye Caixin likes to coerce and torture people. On this point, Chang Xia feels helpless but has no way, so he can only honestly nod his head to comply, and expects that nothing will happen.
In the afternoon, there is a unique room in the Qi family. There are a mahogany table and two embroidered chairs. After Chang Xia takes a seat, Mo Yun squints at herself with embroidery in her forehand and says, "today, what my aunt wants me to teach you is embroidery."
"Embroidery..." although Chang Xia is a woman's family, she is not good at this kind of sewing, which tests her patience. She has never mended a garment, let alone embroidery, since she grew up.
Holding a needle and a piece of lucky red cloth with mandarin duck lines, Chang Xia was at a loss. She could only look at Mo Yun with her eyes open: "I don't know how to do this?"
"It's not hard. Just watch me do it." Mo Yun picks up the needle and thread, stabs a small eye on the red cloth, and puts dozens of stitches back and forth along the small eye. The picture of mandarin duck is a bit of a model.
"Just do as I do." In fact, what Mo Yun shows is really simple, that is, holding a needle to prick the red cloth back and forth for dozens of times. However, Chang Xia tried, but it was not like that. When he put the needle through the red cloth, he needed to be very careful. If there was a little bit of misalignment, he would embroider the wrong place. In addition, Chang Xia's fingers are stupid. She is not used to doing these flexible work, so she can stitch her hands several times in the process of embroidery.
Biting his fingers, Chang Xia now looks pitiful, very down and out: "ink rhyme, this thing seems not difficult to do."
"Chang Xia, in fact, it's very simple. As a woman, I don't need to study this for a day."
How does Chang Xia feel uncomfortable when she hears this? As a woman, should she be able to embroider? Is Chang xiade questioning her gender?
However, apart from these, Chang Xia has to learn embroidery quickly. If he can't learn it well, he doesn't know how ye Caixin will deal with himself.
Mo Yun, who is teaching, is very patient at this time. When Chang Xia is learning embroidery, she gives her hands-on guidance. She is very careful and even puts her hand on Chang Xia's wrist. Under her careful guidance, Chang Xia quickly grasps the foundation. Now it took two hours, Chang Xia finally embroidered something.
This task is to embroider mandarin ducks. Although the mandarin ducks have not been embroidered, Chang Xia embroidered a small flower. Compared with her previous beginnings, Chang Xia is now full of confidence. If she is given enough time, she will certainly be able to embroider mandarin ducks.
Mo Yun holds Chang Xia's works in hand and looks at them carefully: "yes, you have made a lot of progress. Although you haven't embroidered mandarin ducks yet, you won't be embarrassed if aunt Qi sees them."
"Yes, I think so." Chang Xia was happy. I thought how difficult the embroidery class was. I didn't expect that it would be so easy to solve. Now holding the newly embroidered little Safflower in hand, Chang Xia looks at it with satisfaction, thinking if Qi Qian comes back, do you want to show it to him.
At this time, Mo Yun said: "Chang Xia, don't you want to make your aunt more satisfied? Auntie will watch your work then. Although you have beautiful red flowers, Auntie Qi will not be satisfied. "
Chang Xia knows how picky Ye Caixin is. She is the kind of person who is very demanding and does everything perfectly. Chang Xia thinks that if ye Caixin is to be satisfied, she can't do it anyway. Even if she really embroiders mandarin ducks, she can still pick out defects.
"Moyun, thank you for your kindness, but let's just forget it today. You can also hand in this red flower work." Chang Xia is not a greedy person. As long as he can plug Ye Caixin's mouth, he can say anything. Besides, ye Xueying has said to herself before, why do the famous families like Qi family need to learn some seemingly "superfluous" skills, such as social dancing, wine tasting, jewelry appreciation, flower arrangement and so on. These things are not for survival, but to distinguish themselves from other inferior people.
According to the logic of Qi family, Chang Xia didn't really want to embroider anything, but to give people an illusion that Chang Xia was good at everything and could match Qi Qian.
Since we know that the effort is for the so-called "face", why does Chang Xia work so hard.
With a little red flower in hand, Chang Xia shows her works to Ye Caixin after the course.
As expected, ye Caixin was not satisfied with his work. His face was gloomy as a dark cloud: "do you rust this thing in an afternoon?"
"I'm sorry, mom. I'm just getting started." Chang Xia sincerely apologizes. No matter what she does, she will be scolded by Ye Caixin, and after that, she will release others. After all, she has a work to hand in, not nothing.
Chang Xia is a "half immortal" to some extent. After living in the Qi family for a long time, she even learned very well. As she thought, ye Caixin let her go after a few words of scolding, and told her to have a good rest and be ready to wait for Qi Qian to come back. Waiting on Qi Qian, you don't have to think much to know what it means. In fact, if you really want to wait, Chang Xia won't wait. On the contrary, Qi Qian is almost the same as himself. Eight o'clock at night is a rare time to rest, and only at this time can chang Xia be liberated from a busy and laborious day. Sitting on the bed, playing with a laptop, Chang Xia is touring TV dramas. Nowadays, TV dramas are more and more interesting. Not only are the leading men and women handsome, but also the plot is particularly charming. It's a little pity that Chang Xia has seen enough handsome guys in the real world. Now when she watches TV series, she can't help shaking her head at the men on the screen and lamenting: "it's not handsome enough, it's not man enough. How come the current TV series don't even choose the leading actor better." If other people say such words, I'm afraid they will be sneered at, but Chang Xia's words are really justified. She is tired of seeing such a handsome guy as Qi Qian in the real world, and her aesthetic view is raised. It's hard for the top handsome guys who are called stars in TV series to get into Chang Xia's eyes.
