Chapter 39

The embroidered living things brought by Xicui are a pair of two meter square hide color silk brocade and a golden embroidered picture aiming at the Phoenix seeking a mate. As for the embroidery thread and needle, they have to be prepared by the embroidering mother herself. The embroidering building does not provide them.

"Sister Shui." Xicui lowered her head and called her in a low, ashamed voice.

"It's OK. Three days should be enough. Come into the embroidering room. Hurry up and clean your hands. " Su Shuizhen, holding Xi Cui's hand, put the embroidery basket she brought on the edge of the embroidery frame, and took her to the kitchen to clean her hands.

When Xi Cui sees Su Shuizhen, she doesn't blame her at all. She also cleans up her mood, dresses and cleans her hands. Follow Su Shuifu back to the embroidery room.

Wait for Su Shuifu to burn a column of sandalwood and open the embroidery work brought by Xicui.

"Look at this embroidered pattern. The Phoenix is the master of the golden thread, and the silver thread is attached to the bottom. The rest are green twigs and clear blue lake, while the curved moon is dominated by silver thread, with gold thread attached to the bottom. "

Su Shuifu put the silk and brocade on the embroidery frame, and said that he picked out the silk threads that he needed later. He divided the work with Xi Cui and said, "Xi Cui, I started to embroider from Phoenix, and you started from twirling, so that the two would not cross."

Hi Cui listens, nods and agrees, at the same time, she picks up the needle and wants to start.

"Take your time and try not to make mistakes." Su shuibi sees the appearance and soothes the way with a soft voice. Once embroidered, if there is a mistake, it will be slower than the slow one. Besides, it will also affect the overall beauty.

Although she didn't ask how much money Auntie Lao's family should pay for the unfinished embroidery or the quality of the finished embroidery is not up to standard, we can guess from the look of Auntie Lao and Xi Cui. There must be a lot of money lost.

…………

This is her first real contact with large embroidery since she came to Dahui.

In the past, the mandarin ducks embroidered on the quilt, pillow case, pillow towel, and cover were good at playing in the water, and the four gentlemen embroidered on the clothes of Lin siyao and her two, Mei Lan Zhu Ju, were good at playing in the water. The most complicated needlework used was just one-sided double set embroidery. For her, there is almost no pressure, it's all at her fingertips.

But this time it's different. Don't say that what the Phoenix asks for is double-sided embroidery, which is more difficult than single-sided embroidery. According to the embroidered pattern, we have to embroider the long and fluffy wings of the Phoenix, which are hovering under the moon, beside the branches and on the lake. Therefore, we have to use the partial wool cover of Suzhou embroidery.

Holding the needle and thinking for a while, Xi Cui began to embroider the green twigs with straight needles. Wan'er, at the corner of her mouth, suggested: "Xi Cui, if she embroidered the twigs with rotating needles or long and short needles, the color would be more realistic." After all, the embroidered pattern is a very realistic ink painting. If the Embroidered Brocade is just like the shape but does not have verve, it will be seized by the embroidering building and deducted from the wages.

When Xi Cui heard this, she seemed to be a little shy on her face. "Sister Shui, I I'm afraid it's too late... "

"In time. We'll be able to work out. " Su Shuifu nodded to Xicui, "if you can't hurry, I'll pay for your money. But now that we have agreed, we should do our best. " Su Shuifu has inexplicable respect and persistence for Su embroidery. If she just deals with it, she would rather lose money than embroider. Therefore, Su shuikai always said that she was stubborn and didn't know how to change.

Flexible? She does not know. Before a freehand and comfortable splash ink painting, how to make her stick to embroidering needles, on the large and expensive satin surface, lazily use simple and easy embroidery method to deal with the complicated but realistic embroidery method. She disdains to do such a thing. As a result, she, Su Shuifu, has been able to become an embroidery mother who has won the title of "chief of Suzhou embroidery family" for five consecutive years. But Su shuikan couldn't do it. But now, it's shuikan who will take part in the famous international Suzhou embroidery competition on behalf of the Su family.

Su Shuifu shook his head, calmed down, and began to fly the needle lead on the silk brocade.

After listening to Su Shuifu's words, Xi Cui was determined to remove the straight needle which had not been used for several stitches. She chose the complicated but lifelike spinning needle. She tried to walk several stitches, just wanted to look up at the embroidery sample, but was attracted by Su Shuifu, who focused on embroidery in that box.

The beautiful but not gorgeous face, the calm expression, and the quick but not impatient needlework on the hand are more moving under the noon sun that sprinkles into the room through the rolling curtain. Don't say that the man saw her. Even her daughter, who had never been out of the cabinet, was deeply shocked to see this scene. No wonder my mother-in-law and aunt Tian are envious. Such a woman, who else would not like to marry to rest on the tip of the heart in pain and pet?

Xi Cuixin praises her, unconsciously straightens out her waist and unconsciously imitates Su Shuifu's embroidering posture. In my heart, I made up my mind that before I married, I must make more contact with Su Shuizhen, learn her skillful and delicate needlework, learn her elegant posture, and make sure that my future men will take care of me as well as Nalin Shiyao does to her.

"Ah Yao, I've brought food. Are they still busy? " Auntie Lao hurried into the house with a rice basket. Seeing Lin siyao loosening the soil and watering in the flower bed, she said with a smile.

Lin siyao put down the wooden kettle in his hand, got up, nodded to Aunt Lao, "take it back. They only eat steamed bread at noon." Lin siyao conveyed Su Shuigui's order before entering the embroidered room.

"Ah? How can it be? Eat some rice and vegetables. Look, I also asked his father cui'er to come back from killing a jin of meat in the city and stew the braised pork Auntie Lao raised the basket in her hand. She didn't notice that the two wolf cubs at her feet had meat, and they had long been circling around her legs and belly with a long slouch.

"This is the meaning of Shui Fu. I'm afraid it's a waste of time to eat in the middle of the meal." Lin Si is indifferent on the face, but impatient in the heart. It's still the first few days of my new marriage, and I'm upset by these good women. Although aunt Lao's help to him and Su Shuizhen is not small, he would rather throw three liang of silver on it, so that they don't toss about Shuizhen. It's a pity that he is penniless now, and all the expenses he spends are his own. He had to swallow his displeasure.

"Waves waste time? So they're going to skip lunch? " Aunt Lao listened to the meaning of Lin Si Yao's words and couldn't help repeating her low voice.

Lin Sixiao nodded, and then he was ready to go into the kitchen, intending to steam a few steamed buns for them.

"Then Ah Yao, you'll have the food. When they come out, let them have some. Don't be hungry, huh? " Auntie Lao handed Lin siyao the rice basket in her arm. She didn't plan to take it away, so she thrust it into his arms and said, "I'll go back first. What Come and see them in the afternoon. " He hurried out of the yard.

In my heart, I was puzzled. Thinking about it, she was reckless after all. Seeing that Lin Si Yao's body is still cold, he must be blaming himself. It's also true that they are still newly married. Before they even get home, they are disturbed by the troubles caused by their daughter. Who is in a good mood.

Ouch! It's really a brainless person. Auntie Lao slapped her forehead hard and went home with her mouth broken.
