Steward Feng nodded, and then said to everyone, "This time, Prince Qing's Mansion and Hua'erzuo will supervise you together. What is in front of you is the silk molding tool. In the following time, the other two stewards will respectively I’ll teach you how to make silk molds, and the rest of the time is up to you.”

The maid took the words of Manager Feng and said, "Your Majesty Kuanren, I originally wanted to choose one of the ten of you to go directly to Hua'er to participate and make the silk figures used in the ancestor worship ceremony. Now there will be three of you. What happens next?" , it depends on your luck."

We are one person, but everyone wants to give up. After all, ten to one is completely comparable to reaching the sky.But now that the ranking is ranked third, and only seven people have been eliminated, everyone feels that there is a chance, at least the chance is high, and they are eager to try. As a result, this silk sculpture competition will become difficult.

When the other two stewards talked about the method of making silk molds, Du Juan consciously felt that her knowledge was lacking.My method is indeed suitable for the Song Dynasty, but this is just a dream. I should remember the method of silk sculpture. Not only did I learn it from my mother when I was a child, but I also saw it more than once when Li Wei'an in the studio was making molds. Those steps are already familiar to me.But this dream seems to have been forgotten.

The method of making silk sculptures mentioned by the stewards is to pour gelatinous muddy water into the mold that has been made, and then pour it out after it dries. This is somewhat similar to the method of molding silk figures today. Similar, except that the silk sculpture made in this way cannot withstand the tossing.

"The method of molding is to use water to shape the shape. Then carve it out, and then you can depict the facial features on the silk sculpture." After the steward finished speaking simply, he asked the ten ladies to practice on their own, but there were also some Those who didn't understand it often made mistakes in the silk sculptures they made in a hurry.

Manager Feng is serious in nature, but he sees everyone making mistakes frequently.Then he angrily took out the ruler and put it aside, which scared everyone so much that they didn't dare to speak.He was careful with his hands, fearing that he would be punished if he made a mistake.

"If you can't even pass this level, don't even think about getting into flower making. Silk sculpture is the most important step in the silk crafting process. My daughter's handwriting is exquisite. If you all make some female handicrafts in the house, this will It doesn't matter. If you don't practice well, you will stay here all night and no one is allowed to go back." Manager Feng said angrily
When he loses his temper with his disciples, the maid outside the door sees him.Just as he was looking at it carefully, he saw a handsome man wearing a Qianlong robe and long braids walking behind him.His steps were so light that she didn't even notice when he walked behind the maid.

"How are they? Are they okay?"

The maid heard this voice, looked back, and knelt down in panic.But he was stopped by this person and said in a low voice, "No need to salute, don't disturb them."

"Your Majesty...I...I didn't mean to listen to what they were saying." The maid said obediently. The person in front of her was none other than the prince of this mansion.

The prince rarely comes to Zhuziyuan, but he has time to come here today.The maid was not expecting it, and now she is still in shock.The prince did not blame her for this and comforted her, "It doesn't matter. Wouldn't you understand better if you listen? This is a good thing for our ancestor worship ceremony. You don't need to blame yourself."

"Yes." The maid responded, answering the prince's question just now, "Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment. After all, the flowers are carefully selected. Manager Feng is very strict with them. I don't think it will take long. The prince will be able to choose the right person.”

The prince nodded with satisfaction, "Well, this selection is also for Hua'er. Huang Ama has always been very optimistic about Hua'er, and this time is not just to select silk sculpture talents. Huang Ama likes silk people, if this This time she can really choose a lover in Hua'er, and she can enter the palace directly. This time, it is easier to arrange them in the bamboo courtyard." The maid immediately understood the prince's words, "Don't worry, prince, I will always pay attention to you and be ready at any time. Report to the prince."

The prince left, but his true purpose was revealed.Du Juan and others still don't know that the Qing Palace is planning everything. No one knows what the prince's move is for. Is it to please Huang Ama, or for other motives?Who can understand?It's just that the ten ladies selected by Hua'er, under the strict urging of steward Feng, will be able to make some silk sculptures. However, in the next period of time, the temperament of the eldest lady in each house will change. , is completely worn away.

Three days have passed, and Du Juan was confused, but she had finished a few silk sculptures.But she has always been very demanding, and she is very dissatisfied with the current silk sculpture.Maybe he didn't understand the meaning of being in charge, but in the past three days, he only saw that Ling'er could keep his composure and the silk sculptures he made were somewhat better than his own.Here, silk sculpture skills seem to be unable to be used, unlike in Song Meng.It seemed that it was time to lower my head and ask for advice. I started with the people around me and found Ling'er. "Ling'er, did you pay attention to what the manager said? Silk molding is much more difficult than sewing with needle and thread." , I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep a wink these few nights.”

Ling'er listened half-understood and shook her head confusedly, "I don't quite understand what the manager said. I still want to go back and ask my mother for advice? I just don't know if she will agree to teach me. Hey! Let's forget it. She The chance of agreeing is too small, so I’d better keep working hard like you, miss.”

After hearing Ling'er's words, Du Juan made plans to practice.Then he said directly, "I think I should just keep practicing and I should be fine."

"I'll accompany you, miss."

"You don't need to call me Miss from now on. How about we all address each other as sisters? I find it strange to always call me Miss. You and I are the same, so why should we stick to this?" The current title Ling'er calls her, she I couldn't stand listening to it for a long time. How did Ling'er enter the house? Maybe the plot was too jumpy. Du Juan didn't catch up when she first entered this dream. But after the last competition, Du Juan felt that Ling'er was more like a younger sister.

Ling'er couldn't refuse, so she agreed to Du Juan, "Okay, from now on we will be sisters... Actually, it is not difficult for Hua'er to make the silk sculptures we practiced this time. Over the past few days, the silk sculptures we made have become The biggest problem is that it cannot stand, or it will not take shape. There is a secret in this clay embryo."

"The secret?" Du Juan didn't expect that Ling'er, who wanted to learn from her, actually had his own secret?She was lucky that Ling'er told her the secret, but she also thought clearly.From the very beginning, Ling'er wanted to prove that she could be a good silk maker and enter the flower industry. She had been working hard secretly.

Ling'er nodded, "When making the mold, you only need to put a stick inside. At least the silk sculpture can stand. This stick is like the backbone of the silk figure. With it, the silk sculpture can stand So that it doesn’t get loose.”

Du Juan suddenly realized that this was indeed the case after practicing several times.It's just that this time, Du Juan has another sister here. Everyone here recognizes me as their sister. Du Juan's personality is that she doesn't want everything to be unfair.She just wants all relationships to be fair so that she can feel better.This so-called secret was only given to Ling'er by Ling'er after she said that she was worthy of it. Du Juan didn't want to say any more.
