Chapter 24 (1/2)
Suixi looked at the white silk cloth in her hand, and her scalp was numb with charcoal. It was a soft ink specially used to depict needlework. She thought that her grandmother was going to tell her something about needlework, but she didn't expect to start teaching her needlework.
Other girls began to learn needlework when they were five years old. She didn't come here until she was eight years old In her last life, what she was not good at was needlework. At that time, she couldn't study quietly and didn't have the heart to teach her. Her grandmother only focused on her grandson, and her grandmother was not good. At that time, there was always a shadow at home. Where could she have the heart to learn needlework.
It's always good for you to have a skill! A woman should go to school at the age of ten. In her last life, my father said that a woman's talent is virtue, so she didn't let her go to school. This time, she would never let others decide her life path.
Taking a deep breath, he bowed his head as he liked and carefully depicted the willow leaves. He always had to start from the simplest.
The old lady was leaning on the soft couch near the window, squinting at the serious appearance of her granddaughter, and a faint smile appeared on her stern face. She seemed very satisfied with the learning attitude of Suixi.
”Women have to learn from needlework. If the wedding dress they make for themselves is good in the future, they can also fight for their own face. Usually, those who show shoes and socks to the elders of the family will also be able to get some affection...” The old lady whispered.
Suixi raised his head and squinted, ”when I learn, I'll also embroider socks for my grandmother.”
The old lady laughed like a chrysanthemum. ”OK, I'll wait for your socks.”
I'd like to draw the willow leaves and show it to the old lady.
”Well done.” The old lady nodded, the twigs and willows had some verve, ”embroider it out and have a look.”
Because it's not the first time to draw, the natural technique is more skillful. The old lady always likes intelligent girls. She just wants to please her old people, and she doesn't deliberately hide her clumsy.
As a matter of fact, her level is so good that she can't do anything better. In her previous life, she only learned some fur and could barely embroider a purse.
She twirled the needle and began to embroider.
The old lady closed her eyes and fell asleep. For a quarter of an hour, she embroidered the willow leaves with pleasure. However, the shape did not change. It was just that she lacked some aura and became a little rigid.
The old lady saw the leaf she embroidered I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed?
Suixi looks at the finger that has been pricked by needles several times. It's too rusty. It's more ugly than before. Is it true that she doesn't have any talent in this respect?
”Show me.” The old lady's deep voice rang out.
”Not good.” She moved forward with a shy expression on her face.
The old lady laughed and said, ”the things I embroidered for the first time can't be seen.”
”Really?” Suixi's eyes brightened, and he stretched out his hand behind his back and showed the old lady the silk cloth embroidered with willow leaves.
Chui Bi chuckled at the old lady's back, ”the girl's embroidery is pretty good.”
”Well, it's better than what I did at that time. If you work harder, it will be better in the future.” The old lady nodded with a smile.
He laughed sweetly.
The old lady took her hand and told Cuibi, ”go and get the mint cream.” He also said to Suixi, ”at the beginning of learning, it's common to prick your fingers. After being proficient, you can walk the needle and thread freely.”
”Well, as you like.” Suixi seriously back to the way, this little pain is nothing, the world's most painful she has experienced, but also afraid to hurt the finger this pain?
She is really a good and obedient person. How could she not find out that this granddaughter is actually very considerate before. She has been neglected for so many years. When her family was in financial difficulties, she still had to beat and scold her and think of the past The old lady felt guilty in her heart and felt more and more that she should be nice to her.
The prick on the finger was relieved after applying mint cream. He picked up the soft ink and wanted to continue to paint the pattern.
”Take a break and have some snacks.” I am humane.
Suixi then picked up the red bean cake on the table and took a small bite.
Soon, Guan Niang came.
“…… Zhang xiuniang came over to measure her body and determined the size to make a new dress. ” Guan Niangzi smiles and treats me humanely.
”The old lady jaw head,” to the happy measurement, she is growing, I am an old woman, the size can not be changed. ”
Behind Guan Niang is xiuniang from the embroidery shop. Her surname is Zhang. She is in her thirties. She is white and round. She can't see her teeth when she smiles. When she hears the old lady's words, she immediately laughs and says, ”Oh, old lady is so funny. You look like you were the same as last year. On the contrary, you are getting younger and younger. Today, you need to make several sets of bright colors Just a little bit. ”
”What kind of fresh clothes does the old woman wear?” Women love to hear good words, regardless of age. The smile on the old lady's face was more cordial.
”The color is bright and the people are more energetic. My mother might as well wear more colorful clothes.” Guan Niang Zi proposed beside.
”Grandmother is not old at all. She should be well dressed.”
