Chapter 42 Study Fujian embroidery

Just as the fish sighed in her heart, Ma Siniang suddenly blushed and asked in a low voice, "Yuer, is my handkerchief really well embroidered? We are good sisters now. Don't fool me. Just tell the truth.

Yuer saw that Ma Siniang's eyes were deeply unconfident, so she put away her play and replied seriously, "I'll tell you the truth -- this veil is really well embroidered! At a glance, you can see that a needle and thread have taken a lot of effort, and these fish and shrimp water plants look more lifelike, as if they will immediately pop out of the veil.

"But Master Lu said that these two veils are not well embroidered," Ma Siniang muttered with some loss, but she soon smiled again: "But I think these two veils are the best thing I embroidered, so I will give them to you. You will keep them first and wait for me to learn more from Master Lu. After a few days, I will re-embroider two pieces for you after learning it.

Ma Siniang's words and the fish only smiled and said nothing, but made Li Erniu, who had been scratching the back of her head, even more anxious. She took the square veil given by Ma Siniang and said awkwardly, "Siniang, I like the square veil you gave me very much. I don't think it's not good at all, but I'm not as smart as fish. Ying can make beads, so there is nothing good to give back to you..."

Li Erniu became more and more twisted when she said this. The fish saw that she was about to scratch her head and didn't squeeze out a complete word. The cute appearance made the fish couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing heartlessly, and almost popped up a sentence--aren't you very tough? Why are there times when you can't speak?

Yuer's gloating made Li Erniu stare at her angrily, and then opened her mouth and said, "Siniang, although I have nothing good to send back to you at the moment, if you are bullied in the future, just call me to help, and I will beat them for you!"

"Put..."

First, Yuer laughed rudely, and then deliberately interrupted: "Yo, it turns out that the veil given by Si Niang to Er Niu can still be used as a protective fee! Second girl, do you want me to send you some protection fee?

"Fish! You know how to make fun of me and see how I deal with you!"

Li Erniu stamped her feet fiercely as she said, and then put down the needle and thread basket and stretched out her hands to tickle the fish rudely. The fish was most afraid of being tickled, so she immediately threw down the needle and thread basket and began to hide in Tibet. When Li Erniu saw it, she was unwilling to show weakness and chased the fish all the way. For a moment, Ma Si Niang was full of joy. The smile made her involuntarily spread her eyebrows and show a heartfelt smile.

So Yuer and Li Erniu became good friends with Ma Si Niang. On that day, as soon as Yuer returned home from the village, he took out the veil given by Ma Si Niang, studied the needle method on it carefully, studied it thoroughly, and then slowly and tried to use it little by little based on the needlework he had learned. Fish, shrimp and water plants are embroidered.

In the process of groping, the fish will keep in mind what she doesn't understand. The next day, when she did needlework under the old locust tree, she quietly observed what she didn't understand and how Ma Siniang embroidered it. Occasionally, when she met Lv Xiuniang and pointed out Ma Siniang, the fish took the opportunity to steal the teacher and Lv Xiuniang. The teaching is silently remembered in my heart.

After such a few months of stealing the teacher, the fish can also embroider the veil given by Ma Si Niang according to the gourd, but because it is self-groping, the needle method is much worse than Ma Si Niang, but the fish is already very satisfied to have such a result. She groped for the door without a master leading her to the door.

After several months of getting along, Yuer, Li Erniu and Ma Siniang have become very good friends. Yuer has also touched Ma Siniang's temperament - this Ma Siniang is really weak and listens to her mother.

Yuer knew only when she was familiar with Ma Si Niang that it turned out that Ma Si Niang didn't want to marry in the city at all. It was Aunt Ma who was the daughter-in-law who wanted her to learn how to be a cityman. Ma Siniang has been an independent person since she was a child. Aunt Ma's second aunt asked her to learn from Nvhong, and she asked her to read and read. At this age, there was nothing Ma Siniang took the initiative to propose.

After learning about Ma Siniang's growth experience, Yuer couldn't help asking, "Siniang, don't you want to do what you want to do?"

Ma Siniang thought hard, and finally shook her head and said, "No, my mother said that girls should not have too many other thoughts. It's a serious matter to learn all kinds of things and wait to get married. My mother has been safe since I was a child, and I don't have to think about it..."

Ma Siniang paused and whispered, "Even if I don't think about it, my mother won't let me do it. My mother detained me very tightly. If it hadn't been for the cool needlework here and Lv Xiuniang looking at me, my mother wouldn't have let me come out for so long."

Li Erniu listened to Ma Siniang's words and suddenly felt that her mother was really extremely tolerant. Although she was also popular, she was still allowed to play in the village freely, otherwise Li Erniu would not be able to play like this.

Ma Siniang saw that Yuer and Li Erniu both showed sympathetic eyes to her and was afraid that they would feel sad for herself, so she quickly added: "I have always thought that there can be two intimate little sisters. At present, I have nothing else to think about."

Yuer really couldn't understand Ma Siniang's strange concept of introducing other people's arrangements, so she asked again, "Didn't you say that people in the city are more powerful than Zhang Meihua and others? You don't like such people, so you actually don't want to marry in the city? In this case, why didn't you tell your mother earlier so that she doesn't have to bother to teach you this and that?

What do you know about the fish's words made Ma Siniang puzzled. She looked at the fish like a monster and asked, "Isn't it all arranged by our mother to help us do what we should learn? Isn't it because your mother forced you to learn these things that fish learned?

Yuer nodded and affirmed Ma Siniang's words. At the same time, she said proudly, "My mother never forced me. I want to learn these jobs. Besides, my mother hasn't thought about kissing me at all. She can't wait to stay with me for a few more years."

Li Erniu listened to the dialogue between Yuer and Ma Siniang and came over with a tilted head and interrupted, "That's right. Although I don't like to learn these female popular tricks, my mother asked me to ask me what I meant first when I was studying. I agreed when I was young and thought it was fun, but I didn't expect that I had to learn this promise to the end!"

Li Erniu had a regretful look on her face. Seeing this, Yuer couldn't help thinking of her equally tough mother. Although Li forced Li Erniu to study red every day, she loved Li Erniu very much.

The fish lives next to Li Erniu. Naturally, he knows that Li has always been very conniving Li Erniu. Those little women have also relaxed their requirements to teach Li Erniu. Otherwise, Li Erniu has learned needlework for more than a year than the fish. How can the current level not be as good as half of the fish? It's not Li's habitual to open one eye and close the other!

Yuer thought about her growth experience, and then thought about Li Erniu, who was also loved by her family. Suddenly, she had some sympathy and Ma Siniang, who couldn't make her own decisions. Yuer knew that Li Erniu and Erniu can be regarded as a special case, and a little woman like Ma Siniang, who has been led by her parents from childhood to marriage, is the most common experience of women in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, after knowing Ma Siniang's growth experience, Yuer became more loving Yang Dazhu and his brothers who also spoiled her than before! Yuer was once again glad that she had crossed into such a warm and loving family, otherwise her fate would only be the same as Ma Siniang, and everything would be arranged by others, and she would not even have any chance to resist.

After that, the fish became more pitiful, and after their relationship became more and more harmonious, the fish dared to ask Ma Siniang about embroidery. Unexpectedly, the fish only asked for advice once. Ma Siniang took the initiative to teach the fish, and did not hesitate to teach Lv Xiuniang's daughter Hong one by one, not at all. I feel that the fish have taken advantage of it.

In addition to being grateful to the kind-hearted Ma Siniang, Yuer took advantage of this rare opportunity to learn female red. So after a month of hard practice, Yuer's embroidery skills immediately improved a lot, and the embroidered things were comparable to those embroidered by Ma Siniang.

The matter of Ma Si Niang teaching the fish was carried out quietly while Lv Xiu Niang was away, so as not to let Lv Xiu Niang know that there were some unnecessary things. Unexpectedly, when the fish was asking Ma Siniang for advice on the needle method, Lv Xiuniang suddenly folded back...

Ma Siniang was originally holding hands to teach the fish to drop the needle. As soon as she saw Lv Xiiniang come back, she immediately withdrew her hands in panic. She trembled and picked up her embroidery shed and shook her fingers to pick up the needle. After pricking for a long time, Lv Xiniang's eyes on Ma Siniang's eyes made Ma Siniang feel more prickly.

After Lv Xiuniang found that Ma Siniang secretly taught fish, she had been looking back and forth without saying a word. Her eyes made Ma Siniang more and more panicked. She was afraid that Lv Xiuniang would secretly teach her craft to others, and she was even more afraid that Lv Xiuniang would go to Aunt Ma to sue... So at present, although Ma Siniang is buried Her head did her job, but the trembling body revealed her panic.

Ma Siniang was worried and afraid, and the fish naturally felt uncomfortable. The fish did not expect that Lv Xiuniang, who had just got up to chat with others, would suddenly fold back in less than a quarter of an hour. It was precisely because Lv Xiuniang came back much faster than usual that the fish had no time to hide the handkerchief she was embroidered in her hand...

Since there is no time to hide, the fish can only continue to embroider and observe Lv Xiuniang's reaction quietly. Her mood turns rapidly and thinks about countermeasures in a hurry.

Yu'er knew that the first rule of the master's brother in the Northern Song Dynasty is that apprentices can't casually pass on the master's skills, which Yu'er can understand - if each one does not pass on other people's family skills according to the rules, that ability will no longer be passed on to the family.

It is also because of this that the master is also very particular about receiving apprentices. Some stunts are only passed on to the family and not to men and not to women. If there is no queen, it can only be passed on to a male apprentice, and the male apprentice will continue to pass on this stunt.

Even if those stunts can be passed on, most of the masters will only accept one or two apprentices. Of course, what she teaches when people like Lv Xiuniang gives money is different, but even if Lv Xiuniang makes money by teaching daughter Hong, the students she teaches can't casually pass on the needles without her consent. There is no need to say that everyone The rules that you know and will abide by.

So at present, Ma Si Niang can be said to have violated the rules. If Lv Xiuniang is unhappy and punish Ma Si Niang, it is also Lv Xiu Niang's reason. Maybe Lv Xiuniang can still hold this little braid and let Ma's second aunt pay a sum of money, even if Lv Xiuniang doesn't let Ma second aunt Ma lose money, if the second aunt Ma know about this matter, She will definitely not despise Ma Si Niang...

This second aunt Ma is not like Ma Siniang. She is not only easy to brag and show off, but also a master who cares and can't tolerate others to take advantage of her own advantage. Therefore, if Lv Xiuniang goes to Aunt Ma to complain, saying that Ma Siniang is not good enough to learn from the female red, but wastes time to teach others what she has learned... Why don't Ma Siniang be cruelly with her second aunt Ma?

Just when the fish and Ma Siniang were uneasy, Lv Xiuniang slowly walked to the fish. First, she glanced at the veil that the fish was embroidered. After looking at it, she simply sat down beside the fish and looked at the needlework and movements of the fish's embroidered handkerchief uns unscrupulously.

Lv Xiuniang just looked at it blankly and did not scold anyone, which made Yuer very puzzled. While pretending to be nothing, she continued to embroider the veil, and quickly turned her brain to think of a way to excuse Ma Siniang. Unexpectedly, she didn't think of a good way. Lv Xiuniang said an unexpected word first...< /P>

"Your needle is wrong. You should go down to this place, and then you can connect it."

Lv Xiuniang not only did not blame Ma Si Niang or scolded the fish. Instead, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the fish's needle method and pointed to the wrong needle under the fish and let her correct it. Lv Xiuniang's kind advice made a moment that the fish and others couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in her gourd...

The fish thought about the meaning of Lv Xiuniang and changed the needle where she pointed. At present, the fish embroidered a picture of "butterfly chasing flowers". The flowers in this picture include peonies, begonias, and roses. It has to use several different colors to embroider these kinds of flowers, so the fish embroidered for a while. I had to change a color thread to embroider, and when the fish changed the color thread, Lv Xiuniang opened her mouth again...

"It's right that this peony flower is embroidered with a big red embroidery thread, but you have to embroider the shadow on the side of the flower with dark red silk thread. The place you embroider now is the shadow of the peony flower, so the red line you are taking now is not suitable. Hurry up and change it!"

This fish had studied art in her previous life, so Lv Xiuniang only opened her mouth and nodded a few words. She immediately realized the mistake she had made, so she picked up the dark red silk thread and slowly embroidered the shadow part of the peony after stringing the needle.

The fish knew that this shadow part could not be unchanged. Although the tone looked like a dark red, there was still a gradual process and excessive place in this dark red. So before Lv Xiuniang reminded her, Yuer changed the line first and used three similar colors in a row, but with subtle differences. The thread slowly embroidered the shadow part of the peony flower.

After this shadow part is embroidered, the fish will slowly embroider the rest of the flower with bright red silk thread. Of course, when embroidering these places, the fish also knows how to draw inferences and change several similar silk threads according to their own sense of color to make them appear a sense of hierarchy. With the background of the shadow part, the final embroidered peony flowers are a little more three-dimensional, which makes people feel lifelike and fragrant.

As soon as the fish embroidered the peony flower, Lv Xiuniang immediately clapped her hands and praised it, "Okay! I didn't expect you to be so talented. You just secretly learned my embroidery skills from Si Niang, and you learned a little better than her!"

Lv Xiuniang's praise surprised the fish. Even Ma Siniang and Li Erniu looked at Lv Xiuniang in a daze. It seemed that they couldn't believe that Lv Xiuniang not only did not investigate theft of the teacher, but also praised the fish! Looking at the expression on Lu Xiuniang's face, there seemed to be no dissatisfaction!

Among the three, Yuer was the first to come to her senses and politely said to Lv Xiuniang, "Thank you for your praise. I just worked more than Si Niang behind my back and worked hard to make up for my shortcomings."

Yu'er's words are not deliberately modest. Starting from learning Fujian embroidery with Ma Siniang, Yuer not only made a female red under the old locust tree in the village all afternoon during the day, but also quietly hid in the stern of the boat at night to think about it until midnight after dinner. Usually, the fish will not stop thinking about going to bed after Liu's urging several times.

This fish spent several times more on embroidery than Ma Si Niang, and the fish itself had some embroidery knowledge obtained from modern times. In addition, the fish first learned ordinary needlework to lay the foundation. With these preconditions, it is naturally easier for the fish to learn than Ma Si Niang.

In addition, the fish itself is very interested in embroidery, so it took more time to study, and also used some color skills learned from painting in his previous life to embroidery. These skills just echo the characteristics of Fujian embroidery, which makes the fish slowly embroider better than Ma Siniang, the "master".

Yuer's intentions and Lv Xiuniang saw it at a glance. Maybe Lv Xiuniang saw that the fish was extremely talented, or Lv Xiuniang had other ideas. After a few modest words with her, she actually said, "From now on, you will come here as usual every day and follow me to learn female red with Si Niang. I will I will accept you as half an apprentice."
