Chapter 31 Pity the world's parents heart
031 Poor parents in the world
Jin smiled: "I am not only good at Su embroidery, I also know Beijing embroidery. After all, Kyoto is in the north, and most of the palace dresses are Beijing embroidery. It's just that you were young before, and mother had to take care of you. You don't have any brothers. Why is mother in Xin's family?" You are also clear about your status.

I was also afraid that if I showed my embroidery skills, I would let down your father's protection.

Your grandma is greedy for profit. If Mom doesn't listen to your father, the Xin family can live a good life relying on my embroidery, but Mom's eyes will probably be blind now as Wan'er said.

That’s why my mother didn’t do much embroidery when making clothes. Your grandma looked down on my poverty and didn’t like me very much. She always made me work in the fields. As my fingers got thicker, I could no longer pick up needlework. "Jin said with some regret.

"But~" Xin Cui thought for a while and said, "Mother, you said that you can sell 50 taels of silver for a screen you embroider, so how can grandpa's family be poor?"

Jin sighed and said: "The reason why your grandma was robbed was because she was very good at embroidery. Back in the palace, she took the credit of her fellow countrymen. Later, she was released from the palace with the kindness of the master, but she was retaliated halfway.

Besides, your grandma hurt her eyes all her life in embroidery in the palace, and even if your grandpa died of poverty, she would not let her take up needlework to earn money to support the family.

Poor people like us have no backing, and if our skills are too high, we will be easily raised by the rich and powerful. If we do so, we will lose our freedom or cause other troubles, so your grandmother taught me secretly, and your grandfather and uncle didn’t know about it. . "

"A mother always gives the best to her children." Xin Wan sighed.

Jin said: "The reason why Mother didn't teach you is because she was afraid."

"I'm afraid that grandma will harm us, so the good ones will be sent to the embroidery factory to be embroiderers; the bad ones will be made by relying on their craftsmanship, and then they will be of no use value, and will be sold off like a big sister!" Xin Wan said solemnly.

Jin felt heartbroken when she mentioned Xin Meng, nodded and shed tears.

"Mother, don't cry, I won't learn anymore. Although my current embroidery skills are ordinary, I don't cause trouble. Anyway, I will make a new pattern later. I earn a few small money, which is enough for us to buy clothes for the winter. How much money do I have on weekdays?" Just a small change." Xin Cui hurried over to comfort Jin.

Mrs. Jin shook her head, and suddenly became firm: "No, mother still wants to teach you, but it's also done secretly. Wan'er will enter the Bai family in the future, and with this skill, she can gain a firm foothold.

The Bai family has a big business now, and you are the young lady of the future who will not know how to do unique skills. It will be troublesome if you are suppressed by the concubines in the mansion in the future. In the past, it was the mother who wanted to go left, and she ignored this point.

When Wan'er enters the Bai family, mother and your sisters have support. Our embroidery can go through the hands of the Bai family. In this way, your sister can not only make money, but also ensure safety and live a good life. , Mom doesn’t want you to live the same miserable life as Mom.

Mom owes you eldest sister. If you have the opportunity, Mom will teach her well and make up for her. "

Xin Wan sighed, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!
Jin is a sensible person. In the past, she was busy surviving and put down her skills.

Now that her mountain has fallen, she doesn't want her daughters to live in a miserable life like her in the future. They can't show off their skills, but they have to learn!
But if I like it, I like it. If I really ask her to learn it, it’s over, she won’t be able to learn it!She has been embroidering leaves for two months, and Xin Cui still doesn't know what she is embroidering.

"I, I don't care. I have my father's true biography. I can draw. In this way, I draw flowers, my sisters embroider, and our sisters cooperate, and we are still invincible in the world!"

"Pfft~" Jin and Xin Cui were both amused.

"You are just being lazy, so I realized that the thing you embroidered is a leaf, and it has caught up with the big tiles in the town!" Xin Cui teased Xin Wan angrily.

"I don't have any talent. Embroidery requires talent. Second sister, you and my mother should study hard, but you are not allowed to embroider it for takeout. Listen to me, we will wait until the situation develops in the future to make a decision. Otherwise, we will make money now." Can't keep it!
As for your mother's hands, I will find a way to remove the cocoons for you this winter. In the future, if you want to embroider, it is fine, but since you all know how to hurt your eyes, you must pay attention to protecting your eyes and your health! "

The mother and daughter nodded seriously, and then Xin Cui took out the cloth and asked Jin Shi to give her advice. Jin thought for a long time and didn't know how to start, after all, she hadn't picked up embroidery for a long time.

Xin Wan said: "Okay, you two don't study it anymore. My pattern is not too complicated. It is small and cute, and it is most suitable for making aprons and sachets, so there are more than three kinds of this piece of cloth.

Besides, my sister’s skills are not that good. Embroidering a bellyband is easy, and a child’s bellyband only needs to be happy. "

Then Xin Wan got carbon strips and drew six pictures of cartoon cats, Lion King Simba, Tom and Jerry, Mickey and Minnie on a piece of white cloth.

Because they don't have money to buy paper and pens, after Xin Cui learns this picture, she can wash it off directly, and the cloth can be reused.

The simple strokes drawn by Xin Wan are clear, the cartoon characters are lively and cute, and then they talk about the color matching with Xin Cui.

Xin Cui is very talented in embroidery, and she was inspired as soon as she mentioned it. Although the stitching method is simple and the embroidery time is short, she also likes this new pattern very much.

The lion king embroidered purse is the most suitable, and cats, cats and mice can all be embroidered into bellybands.

Mickey and Minnie are embroidered on Tang Pozi's coat. These are relatively simple to make, which can maximize the concealment of Xin Cui's weaknesses.

"Oh my God, mother, look at Wan'er. She really knows how to carve flowers?!" Xin Cui looked at Xin Wan's painting skills and was very shocked.

Jin was also a little excited. Xin Zhengfeng often went to build houses for wealthy families, and learned a few skills of beam carving from an old master.

The verandahs of rich families are very particular. Xin Zhengfeng will naturally be able to carve and paint. It is because of his talent that he can always find work.

Now I didn't expect my daughter to learn the skills of my own man, and it seems that the blue is better than the blue!

"Mom, I didn't talk before, but Dad always taught me how to draw to make me happy, so I learned it." In order to cover up her stunt, Xin Wan could only use white lies.

Jin hugged Xin Wan and cried loudly: "Zhengfeng, you are so cruel. Why did you just leave us mother and daughter? Look at your daughters, each one is better than the other. Why didn't you?" Live well”

Xin Wan felt that the Jin family was very pitiful. It was difficult for her to remarry with such a conservative and brainwashed person by feudal ethics after her husband died at such a young age.

After Jin burst into tears, the day went on as usual. During the day, she instructed Xin Cui and Xin Wan to embroider. Although Xin Wan's talent was extremely poor, she also treated it as a pastime to pass the time, and patiently followed suit.

On cloudy days and evenings when the light is not good, the mother and daughter are very conscious and will never do embroidery work.

Xin Wan also taught the two people to do eye exercises and made random excuses to ask them to protect their eyes.

In addition, Xin Wan is not worried about the eyesight problems of a few people as she is always there to serve them.

When she was not embroidering, Jin would give them shoe soles, and Xin Cui would make nets when she was bored, and nets could also make money.

It's a pity that Xin Wan only knows a few modern knots, but she knows simple Chinese knots and heart knots. After teaching Xin Cui, she let her study it on her own.
