Chapter 49 Embroidery

The second wife was angry about the sixth sister, and the ladies in the house went to Jingxian Study House to go to school after returning to Xue's house. The third sister threw herself on the wedding dress. Even in class, she embroidered some small patterns with a small purse. Mr. Liu did not embarrass the third sister. He only regarded the third sister as air, and became more and more strict with other young masters. Yang Qian did not come back to Xuefu for school.

After class, the fourth sister carefully came to the ninth sister and whispered, "I heard that the sixth sister has committed an accident again. What's the matter this time? She didn't even come to the school. Why did my mother take us home so soon? I haven't played enough yet!"

The ninth sister's heart is not on this, and she doesn't want to mention it again. She said perfunctorily, "May the second aunt wants to polish the sixth sister's character."

The fourth sister listened to reason and saw that the ninth sister was lack of interest, so she stopped disturbing the ninth sister.

The ninth sister looked absent-mindedly at the book, turned her eyes around the room, and occasionally fell on the big red silk in the third sister's hand, and a sense of irritation rose in her heart. Without the sixth sister and Yang Qian in this school, she actually felt dead. Mr. Liu did not sincerely want to teach every young lady to become a talented girl, and Just a little treat the tenth brother and the twelve brothers.

Looking at the third sister becoming more and more indifferent, whether it is for the common daughter or the sixth sister, it is getting better and better. The ninth sister thought that maybe the third sister really just wanted to marry a good husband before giving birth to her. Thinking of her relationship with her sixth sister, who finally couldn't compete with her marriage. She sighed in her heart.

"Maybe it's time for me to make a decision." The ninth sister thought secretly.

After returning from Pudu Temple, Xun Xiuniang can also come to Xuefu, so the ladies studied female red under the guidance of Xun Xiuniang in the afternoon. Brother Ten and Brother Ten will still go to Jingxian Bookstore to study and learn calligraphy.

Xun Xiu Niang is a woman in her thirties. She wears an embroidered woman's clothes without applying fat and powder. Her cheekbones are a little high. With red phoenix eyes, she can be regarded as a great beauty, but she looks very serious.

In the first class, Sister Jiu was scolded once, just because Sister Jiu's needlework was really unsuccessful. Compared with those small jasper, the embroidery of the ninth sister is not bad, but compared with the ladies of Xue's house, it is heaven and earth. Xun Xiuniang couldn't wait to punish the ninth sister to memorize those basic acupuncture tips.

It's a pity that this Xue Mansion is not a brocade pavilion, so that Xun Xiuniang never looked good when she saw the ninth sister.

Sister Jiu was quite helpless, but there was a sense of hardness in her heart. After returning to Dongyuan, she asked Yao's mother to teach her the most basic needlework and formula. As long as Yao's mother began to do embroidery work, she also took out a needle and thread basket and sat with them, occasionally chatted a few words, and life was very fast.

The sixth sister was banned for more than a month, but she still had that nature after coming out, and she didn't change at all. But she listened to it most carefully in the women's red class. The ninth sister frowned and didn't want to lose to the sixth sister. She also knew that her skills were too poor. She just secretly kept what Xun Xiu Niang said in her heart and was not in a hurry to practice it.

She carefully observed when the sixth and fourth sisters were doing embroidery work, from the gesture of holding a needle, to the sitting posture, to the focused look on their faces. Every step is firmly kept in mind. The ninth sister only felt that the sixth sister's girl was better than the fourth sister, and her expression was not only focused and described, but also would not be disturbed by anything outside, which was completely different from her usual.

"It's no wonder she is Xun Xiu Niang's most proud disciple." The ninth sister secretly praised it in her heart.

Xun Xiu Niang spends most of her time embroidering in front of the embroidery rack. Occasionally, I saw Sister Jiu's concentration, and her face softened a lot. The embroidery rack needle and thread here are the best. The third sister simply brought the wedding dress here to embroider, and can also ask Xun Xiu Niang's opinion.

For the third sister, Xun Xiuniang still appreciates it. Although she did not get her true biography, after all, she taught it herself, so she casually guided the third sister several times, which benefited the third sister a lot and applied the newly learned needlework to the embroidery of the wedding dress.

The ninth sister looked at her embroidery becoming more and more delicate, with a satisfied smile on her face. Although it did not reach the level of the fourth sister and the ninth sister, the ninth sister herself felt that she had improved a lot.

"Ninth sister, you have made great progress."

Suddenly, a slight voice came from Sister Jiu's ear, which sounded a little soft.

She raised her head in consternation and saw the seventh sister smile gently at her, but soon, the seventh sister quickly lowered her head and silently embroidered the pattern on the embroidery shelf.

The ninth sister smiled and was also full of joy to hear this kind of praise.

"It's so ugly. Children without a mother really can't do anything. Even the female red is so bad!" The sixth sister glanced at the embroidery in the ninth sister's hand and sneered at it.

The ninth sister smiled indifferently. Compared with the sixth sister's daughter, she was really too bad, but the sixth sister's words were too hurtful. Fortunately, she listened to it a lot before and naturally got used to it.

"Ah, sixth sister, you have begun to learn to embroider landscapes. Isn't this Pudu Temple?" The fourth sister shouted in surprise, and even the eyes of the fifth sister and the seventh sister were attracted.

Sure enough, they are all a little envious, and of course, a little jealous. The sixth sister's talent in the red is really good, and the ninth sister is also a little jealous in her heart.

"We haven't learned to embroider on the embroidery rack yet!" The fourth sister said enviously.

Six sister proudly raised her chin and looked at the exquisite temple on the embroidery rack. Her eyes smiled, and only embroidery was her best.

Xun Xiuniang couldn't help frowning when she heard the noisy voice here, raised her head and said, "If you don't want to learn from the girl, just go out."

Sister Jiu shrank her neck and picked up her "masterpiece" again to continue.

Xun Xiuniang stood up and passed by every lady. When she walked to the sixth sister, she said harshly, "The thread here is really ugly."

The needle in the sixth sister's hand shook, and her cheeks turned red, but she did not refute, but obediently asked Xun Xiuniang.

Xun Xiu Niang picked a light brown and a dark brown thin line from the basket and handed it to the sixth sister. The sixth sister silently took the thin line and compared the two colors with the edge of the temple gate on the picture, and then whispered, "Thank you, master."

Xun Xiu Niang nodded with satisfaction, passed by the third sister, came to the seventh sister, then looked at the fifth sister's embroiderers, and finally walked to the ninth sister.

Sister Jiu stopped her work and looked at Xun Xiu Niang expectantly.

Xun Xiu Niang frowns and said coldly, "I can't even compare with a concubine's daughter. She's so ugly."

The ninth sister gritted her teeth and began to silently remove the thread on the cloth.
