Chapter 36

Leisurely smile back "this pattern is my own painting, do you want to embroider?" Tingran nodded, "well, it happened that there was no work in the field during this period, so I wanted to do some embroidery work to earn some private money. It takes time to embroider a purse, but it costs less money. It's better to directly embroider a large piece. I think the pattern you embroidered has a very good meaning. The embroidery workshop is willing to accept this kind of festive pattern. "

After that, he took out a picture book from the cupboard at the head of the bed and handed it to his cousin. "I want to keep this picture as a gift. It's not suitable for you. Look, there are several pomegranate embroidered paintings in this book. Do you like any of them? "

Originally tingran heard that she couldn't use the flower, but she was slightly unhappy. But when she opened the picture book leisurely gave her, she was not willing at all. As she looked at it, she asked, "did you draw all the patterns in it?"

Seeing leisurely nodding her head, she tut tut said, "Hey, you've compared all the tricks my mother has saved for decades. Why do you think so? Although I know a few words, I don't know anything about painting. No wonder people say that "it's better to marry a servant girl than a girl from a small family". How nice it is to be a servant girl and learn to read and draw? I want to be a maid. "

Leisurely smile "when the maid who you think so good? When I first went into the mansion, I was a servant girl. I didn't have any foundation in the mansion. I was sent to do the dirtiest and most tiring sweeping work. It's better in summer. I'll get up and sweep the courtyard at dawn in winter. If it snows, it's even worse. Before the master gets up, we should sweep the ground clean. As long as you pull down a little snowflake, you may be scolded and deducted monthly money, or you may be hit by the board, and your hands will freeze. If I had not saved my wife's nephew and been transferred to the inner courtyard, how could I not be sure now? You don't know, although it was in March, the lake was still icy cold. I tried my best to drag master Han out of the lake, and I was very tired. When I went back, I fell ill. I had a high fever for seven or eight days in a row. Others thought I couldn't live. At that time, I didn't have any consciousness at all. Maybe I didn't want to live. Who thought, finally woke up. Later, when I thought about it, it seemed that I met my father in my dream. My father's spirit must have protected me. From then on, I gradually got up smoothly. I became a big servant girl from a small one and had the chance to learn skills. What's the fear of people who have died once? I have the cheek to ask xiuniang for advice. When the young ladies go to school, they learn calligraphy and painting. At least they have learned something. "

Although this experience is original, but leisurely now looking back, I feel sad and hard to bear. Since her return, although the elders are kind to her. But she could feel that several girls of the same age were envious of her, and some of the shallow eyed words about her private room were prevaricated by her. Fortunately, now my younger brother is a scholar in the exam. Most people don't dare to offend her at leisure. When she said these words today, she wanted to let others know that she fought for her life today. No one needs to be jealous.

After hearing this, tingran's eyes are moist. She is the youngest daughter in the family and has been loved since childhood. Although the flood had an impact on tingran's family, she didn't suffer any substantial damage under the protection of her parents and brother. As a little girl who has been pampered and brought up, suddenly she has a cousin who is better than herself, and she is more or less envious in her heart. If it wasn't for her carefree and generous nature, and she didn't care about everything, they wouldn't be able to play together.

Tingran is a little arrogant, but she is kind-hearted. Today, after listening to her cousin's words, she knows how ridiculous she is. Other people's things come in exchange for life. What can she be envious of? She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, took leisurely hand and said, "good sister, it's all my fault that reminds you of sad things‘ If you don't die in great danger, you'll have a happy future. "

Leisurely doesn't want to continue this topic. She points to the picture album in front of her and says, "it's all over. Let's not talk about it. Sister, look at the flowers. Do you like them? " So the two sisters happily talked about the appearance of the flower, and finally tingran chose a picture of the rich flower of Begonia. Although the painting looks magnificent and tacky, it takes a lot of effort to embroider. But it is more suitable for tingran's level, this piece of embroidery as long as the color matching is good, it will be more brilliant.

Others, such as Jiangnan misty rain, red leaves and landscape, are elegant and fresh, but tingran's current level of embroidery can't control it. She was very self-conscious, so she chose this relatively simple pattern. Moreover, patterns like this may feel a little vulgar. But in Baishui Town, there is still a good market. Tingran takes a pen to put away the pattern, and sees leisurely still working hard there. I can't help saying, "good sister, you have a rest too. I've been here for an hour, and I haven't seen you take a rest. Be careful, your eyes will be damaged. Let's go. Let me show you around. "

Leisurely press the sour neck, smile and say "OK, where to go?"

Tingran thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen sister Yulian for a long time. I don't know how her wedding dress is embroidered. Let's go and have a look at her."

So, a little clean up, leisurely lock the door, two people together went to Yulian home. Yulian's home is only a few hundred meters away from leisurely's home, and they arrive after walking for a while.

When they arrived, Yulian's mother, Zhou, was sitting at the gate, taking care of the soles of her shoes while watching her grandson playing at the gate. Seeing them coming, he said warmly, "you two are here. Yulian is in the West Wing room. Go in and play."

Seeing them coming, Yulian was also very happy. She asked them to sit down. She went to the main room to make a pot of tea and brought a plate of fresh peanuts just pulled out of the field. At this time, the peanuts are not very solid, but they are very crisp and tender. Leisurely tasted one, felt some unexpected sweetness, then ate a few more.

Tingran also ate a few, and then asked, "sister Yulian, I heard my mother say that the wedding dress material that my mother had sent someone to bring back from the capital that day was worth two liang silver for a piece three feet long. It's beautiful. You can show it to us. "

Jade lotus side scolds with smile "have no you this wench not curious." While from the cabinet, carefully take out a blue burden, open, shake off a big red silk with twig peony pattern. The fabric is bright in color and beautiful in design. It's placed at the door and shining in the sunlight. Although it can't compare with the rare fabrics such as brocade and damask, it's not vulgar.

Two people praised one time, jade lotus carefully put away again. Tingran said with a smile, "sister Yulian, why don't you start to embroider the wedding dress and put it away?"

After hearing this, Yulian blushed and nodded her head. "You girl, I'm here. I'll see if I can spare you when you make an engagement in the future. "

Tingran quickly grabbed Yulian's hand and said, "good sister, I'm wrong, can't I?" The jade lotus annoys her one eye "come on, lazy and you see the same thing."

Then he said, "you two are just in time. Please help me to think about what kind of patterns this material can embroider. I've been dizzy at the flowers these two days, and I haven't found a suitable one. "
