Jinghua Tianjiao

"Others?" Ling'er thought for a while, "There shouldn't be any. The prince can't live here."

That's impossible, Du Juan also thought, what was she thinking? Did she watch too many Qingchuan dramas?After listening to "Er You in Red Mansions" during the day, Du Juan had inspiration. Although there are still some unsolved mysteries in the Bamboo Garden, the most important thing for her right now is to be a good silk figure and strive to get into Hua'er.I don't know where such ambition came from, but now I can't complete my idea alone. Fortunately, Ling'er is here.Ling'er also said that no matter what happens in the future, he will follow him.

"Ling'er, enter Hua'er to make a new silk figure. I have some ideas. Do you want to complete it with me?"

Ling'er happily agreed, "Of course, I have always wanted to learn silk art, if it weren't for you. How could I have followed you in the last competition and benefited from it? If you have any orders, just tell me directly, sister."

Du Juan closed the door. After all, Du Juan was still afraid that the walls had ears when it came to inspiration.After closing the door, Du Juan said to Ling'er, "Now that the Hui Troupe is in Beijing, I learned something from this morning's play. The silk figures we have made now have a single shape and a monotonous cloth color. I want to use Ling'er, what do you think of the idea of ​​wearing the costumes of Peking Opera on silk figures?"

"What my sister is saying is that the ladies in other palaces would never think of doing this. But if you want Peking Opera costumes, you should need high-quality silk."

"Don't worry about this sister." Du Juan had already made plans. She took out two purses from her waist and showed them to Ling'er. "Don't you think this problem will be solved? The fabric and silk of this purse are made for Peking Opera." Good fabric for fancy clothes?”

Ling'er took a look and saw that these two purses were exactly what Du Juan carried with her on weekdays, and the supplies were made of fine silk. It was probably the same as the fabrics worn by Jiao'er who came to Beijing from the Huizhou class at that time.Seeing the purse, Ling'er disagreed, "Sister, how is this possible? This purse is the most precious item on your body, how can it be used as clothes for a silk man?"

Ling'er loves to cherish things, but Du Juan doesn't think so.This is a dream. It’s hard to find such good silk products. You must use them in key places.But you can't say that to Ling'er, "It's okay, Ling'er. We can still do it again if our wallet is gone, but if we lose this opportunity, we're afraid we won't be able to get into Hua'er."

"But...but this is too expensive." Ling'er seemed to know the value of this purse, "Sister, your purse is embroidered with silk, gold and silver threads are threaded through needles, and there are four jade beads on it. This It would be a pity if it was demolished. Sister, why don’t we think of other ways."

Du Juan insisted on her own thoughts, "It's okay, Ling'er. Don't worry about these. Isn't entering Hua'er Zuo what we want?"

"But you can't..." Ling'er was about to say something but was interrupted by Du Juan.

Du Juan said, "Oh, my good sister, everything is fine. Don't worry, my parents will give me a new purse."

"No, sister..." Ling'er said, taking off her purse and handing it to Du Juan, "I am here now because of your help. Now you want to make a new silk man with me, and my sister doesn't even know How can I thank you? My purse is not the best, but sister, you must accept it, so that I can feel at ease." Du Juan pushed Ling'er's purse back, "What are you doing, what are you doing with your purse? Give it to me? Take it back."

"No!" Ling'er also got angry, and kept putting the purse into Du Juan's hands, "Sister, if you don't accept it, then I won't follow you as a silk man, I... I will quit! "

"Ouch! Ling'er, are you threatening me? Why haven't I seen you so naughty on weekdays? Can't I accept it? I also want you to join me in Hua'er Zuo." Back and forth. After pushing and pushing, Du Juan was finally defeated and had no choice but to accept Ling'er's purse.

The two purses were cut and trimmed so that they no longer looked like purses, and all that was left were two pieces of silk fabric.Ling'er still felt pity looking at it.But when they were all busy, both of them forgot about these things.Du Juan had made several decent silk figures in Hua'er Zuo before. Although she just changed into a Peking Opera costume this time, it still took a lot of effort to make them quickly.

Day and night alternated. Du Juan didn't know how long she had been in this dream. She knew that when she woke up, it was just a night's dream.Making Peking Opera costumes is even more convenient for me.In the blink of an eye, a silk figure dressed in Peking Opera costumes stood in front of me.

Why does it look so much inferior to the ones made in Jinghuafang?Is it possible that my silk art has retreated since I got here?Du Juan has always been very demanding of herself, especially in her dreams.But Ling'er didn't see it that way. After staying up for several days and nights, she looked at the silk man in gorgeous clothes in front of her. She thought it was the best, "Sister, this silk man is already very good. Wearing this Peking Opera costume is even more appropriate." , it will definitely pass through my mother’s eyes.”

In the past few days, everyone has been practicing in their own homes, and Manager Feng also gave everyone enough time.When the silk products of the ladies were displayed, Du Juan took out her own silk figure in Peking Opera costumes, which really opened the eyes of Manager Feng.The other ladies were talking and couldn't help but praise her.Du Juan was still puzzled. She remembered that the last time she was doing exercises in Hua'er, she felt like she was in jail, and there were plots everywhere.Why is it so peaceful this time? Everyone's "fighting" mentality seems to be gone?

"I gave you nearly seven days, but the silk products you handed in are still not worth looking at!" Unexpectedly, after looking at all the silk products, Manager Feng actually got angry, "I don't know what you usually do What have you learned! It seems that I, the manager, indulge you too much."

Are others really doing so poorly?Du Juan looked at the silk figures displayed on other tables, and she could still see through them.But why was she so angry?Du Juan asked Ling'er in confusion, "What's wrong with your mother? The silk products we make are much better than last time."

"Of course she knows it's much better. Every time she has difficulty making a choice, she gets angry. Just wait, sister. She has the answer in her heart." That's right, it's my daughter who understands me.

Without even a stick of incense, Manager Feng, who had been lingering in the audience for a long time, finally came on stage.Looking at everyone, he finally named the silk man to be selected, "This time your competition is relatively free. What the silk man should do, what silk ornaments to wear, and what gorgeous clothes to wear are all up to you. Just give me Allowing you freedom does not mean that you have to mix and match randomly. The silk figures made by Hua'er are originally rigorous, but I looked at the silk products you have, and they are really bull-headed horse noodles. I want you to mix and match freely, but I don't let you mix and match randomly. .”

The audience was extremely quiet, and Du Juan was worried: Was Guanshi Feng talking about himself? The way he dressed the silk figures in Peking opera costumes was inspired by modern times.Although the Qing Dynasty was more open than the Song Dynasty, its innovations were too avant-garde.
