Chapter 113: Ingenious Workmanship

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The piece that Qi Yan had dirtied happened to cover the original pattern.

The embroiderer was considering how to repair the perfected piece while keeping the original painting.

“How is it? Can you fix it?” The old embroiderer on Meng Chuyuan’s side watched on for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement, she stood up and walked over.

“I think it’s going to be a little difficult.”

It was unrealistic to remove the cloth on the spot and wash it because many things on it had not been completed. Coincidentally, it was not easy to fix the dirtied area. If it was not cleaned properly, it might destroy the painting.

The old embroiderer stood at the side and looked at it carefully for a long time.

Coincidentally, there were peach blossoms embroidered on it, so she said to

the embroiderer holding the brush, “Add another peach blossom.”

“But wouldn’t that be too bright?”

Because the peach blossoms were pink, while the dirtied area was a little too red.

Meng Chuyuan sat in her seat and listened to the two embroiderers discussing countermeasures. She said casually, “Why don’t we change it to a flower bud? It wouldn’t matter if the color of the flowers that haven’t bloomed is darker. We can embroider another layer over the area to make it look more vivid.”

She did not walk over to look at the original painting, nor did she know where the dirty piece was. She happened to have such a thought in her heart, so she shared it with the embroiderer.

When the old embroiderer heard Meng Chuyuan’s words, she looked down at the canvas again and suddenly understood.

“The flower bud is indeed fine. This size is just right.”

[Oh my god, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe what Sister

Meng said.]

[The problem is that Sister Meng didn’t even walk over to look at the piece of cloth, but she can give suggestions directly. This is really cool.]

[Old Embroiderer: I suspect that it’s not her first time embroidering. Why does she know everything?]

[Is there still a surprise in Sister Meng’s brain that we don’t know about? We’re in the same world and have such different brains. Sister Meng’s brain works so quickly. Why can’t my brain think at all?]

[It feels like Sister Meng is cleaning up her child’s mess. When something happens to Qi Yan, it seems like Sister Meng is the one cleaning up the mess.

Hahahaha.]

[I’m sighing every day. The director found a hidden treasure and let us get to know Sister Meng. I love her so much.]

“I’ll try.”

The embroiderer took a pen and casually outlined the rough shape of the flower buds on the canvas. Overall, the flaws were no longer so obvious.

After embroidering the thread, the flaw should not be visible.

After Meng Chuyuan finished embroidering the green leaf, she stood up and watched the embroiderer finish the final touches.

“I think you should draw a branch in. It’s quite strange for a flower bud to suddenly appear.”

The drop of blood happened to cover the original peach blossom. Although the embroiderer had drawn a flower bud to patch it up, if one took a closer look, they would notice that the flower bud looked a little strange and did not match the growth pattern of the tree.

The embroiderer felt that what Meng Chuyuan said made sense, so she chose a suitable position to draw the branches and added some peach blossoms and flower buds to the branches.

After finishing the entire painting, it looked much more natural.

[Oh my god, this is too beautiful!! Sister Embroiderer’s hands are really skillful.]

[Sister Meng’s suggestion is really not bad. Not only did it help the embroiderer solve the problem, but it also made the original peach blossoms look even more lush.]

[Although, thank you, Qi Yan, for letting me see Sister Meng’s other skills.] [So cool!! People who learn embroidery. are your hands all as nimble as hers?]

[I feel that Sister Meng has some artistic talent. She seems to know the colors like the back of her hand. I’m really envious.]

The old embroiderer looked at Meng Chuyuan with a gratified expression. “You look young, but you know a lot.”

They mainly studied embroidery. Although they had a foundation in painting, they did not know much about it. Sometimes it was difficult for them to care about the details, but Meng Chuyuan could quickly discover the problem.

Meng Chuyuan said, “I was just giving a suggestion.”

Without seeing it, she was really just giving a casual suggestion.

Coincidentally, the old embroiderer said that she wanted to cover up with a peach blossom and hearing their conversation, Meng Chuyuan thought that peach blossoms and flower buds were the same thing. So she figured that perhaps drawing a flower bud would solve the problem.

The embroiderer who was repairing it couldn’t help but sigh. “Even your casual suggestion is amazing.”

At least Meng Chuyuan had hit the nail on the head.

After Qi Yan’s finger was pricked with a needle, she stopped embroidering and found a quiet corner where there were fewer people.

Lu Jinsen and Ting Jiu had not fought the entire time, but they had heard many embroidery stories about the embroidery workshop from the embroiderer.

After Meng Chuyuan finished learning embroidery, she saw a few embroiderers drawing. She curiously went up to them.

Meng Chuyuan was too embarrassed to disturb them when she saw them drawing seriously.

She watched for a while and was about to leave when an embroiderer suddenly spoke to her. “Do you want to try?”

Meng Chuyuan asked expectantly, “Can I?”

“Yes, you can.”

The embroiderer gave up her seat for Meng Chuyuan and even found a new piece of paper for her.

“Let’s put the drawing on paper first. When we need to embroider it, we’ll copy it onto the cloth. Usually, we’ll draw more flowers and plants. You can think about what you want to draw.”

“Will do.”

Meng Chuyuan majored in drawing, but she had more experience with anime art.

Meng Chuyuan thought about how the painting needed to be embroidered, so she chose to draw a peony.

In her mind, she conceptualized a rough idea of a flowery peony. Then, she drew it on the paper bit by bit according to the peony she imagined.

Half an hour later, Meng Chuyuan’s paper was filled with several peony flowers and two butterflies.

When the embroiderer saw that she had stopped drawing, she specially walked forward to check. Her eyes were immediately filled with surprise. “Is this a peony?”

“Yeah, does it not look like one?”

Meng Chuyuan saw that she was frowning and thought that there was something wrong with her painting.

“It’s too realistic.” The embroiderer did not expect Meng Chuyuan to be able to paint the peony like this without any reference.

[This painting is superb. It will definitely look very good if it’s colored, right?]

[The embroiderer’s shocked expression is also my expression in front of the screen now.]

[Someone, send the word Big Boss to Sister Meng’s public chat.]

[I thought that all flowers were drawn with five semicircles and a middle point.

I’ve finally seen the world.]

[It hasn’t even been colored yet. Just the painting itself already seems like an auctionable piece. After the embroiderer sees this painting, she might even have the thought of retiring, hahahaha.]

[I’m a professional artist. At this moment, looking at the painting on my drawing board and then at Sister Meng’s, I’ve fallen deep in thought.]

[How many years do I have to learn to be able to paint like this? The key point is that I watched the entire process, and Sister Meng did it effortlessly. She seemed so relaxed.]

Judging from the painting, Meng Chuyuan did not make many revisions. There were very few traces of erasure that did not affect the aesthetics of the painting at all..
