Chapter 82 Persuading Wu Xiangling
In fact, for birthday celebrations, the complete set of "Hundred Birds Embroidery" is more suitable, but it would take Zhou Ran at least a year and a half to embroider this set of "Hundred Birds Embroidery", so she You can only choose one from them.

Among them, "Wealth and Fortune" contains gorgeous peacocks, blooming peonies, flying butterflies, and birds perched on the branches and trunks, which not only meets Mrs. Wu's requirements, but also has the meaning of auspiciousness and wealth.

On July 20th, Zhou Ran sent the embroidered "Ping Kai Wealth" to the Wu Mansion.

The entire embroidery uses stitching techniques such as flush stitches, connecting stitches, inserting stitches, beating stitches, rolling stitches, and applying stitches. The embroidery skills are exquisite and exquisite. Mrs. Wu was overjoyed when she saw it. "This embroidery is the second one." Uncle will definitely like it, thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Zhou."

"As long as Madam likes it."

Mrs. Wu held the embroidery and admired it for a while, then told the maid to put it away carefully and put it together with the other birthday gifts prepared for Uncle Wu, and then send them to the capital together. Then she had Zhou Ran paid for her hard work, and Zhou Ran was kept here. Dinner at the Wu Mansion.

After dinner, Zhou Ran wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Wu Xiangling left her to talk.

Zhou Ran had no choice but to follow Wu Xiangling to her yard.

Wu Xiangling first asked Zhou Ran about Ye Xiaomei and Wei Yan's marriage. As they talked, Wu Xiangling's topic unknowingly turned to Mr. Fei's apprentice, or to be precise, to Fei Nanxing.

Zhou Ran listened to Wu Xiangling's overt and covert inquiries and smiled: "I don't have much contact with Mr. Fei. I only know that he is the child adopted by Mr. Fei. He was a scholar before and is now studying with Mr. Zou. In the future, he should I will take the imperial examination route."

"Then he should be very knowledgeable, right?" Wu Xiangling said.

"Should." Zhou Ran nodded without confirming.

"Then..." Wu Xiangling hesitated and asked Zhou Ran: "Aran, do you know what Mr. Fei likes?"

Seeing Zhou Ran looking at her with a teasing look, Wu Xiangling said sheepishly: "Aran, don't think too much. Mr. Fei saved me before. Although I gave him a thank-you gift later, they were just vulgar things and cannot express my feelings." From my heart, I want to personally choose something he likes as a thank you gift."

This reason...

Zhou Ran shook her head and didn't want to say anything else.

"If you ask me what Mr. Fei likes, I can tell you, but Mr. Fei, I really don't know."

"Okay." Wu Xiangling lowered his eyes in disappointment.

Seeing this, Zhou Ran sighed and said: "Xiang Ling, as a friend, I have to advise you that you should think clearly about whether you can get into some things before you get into them. I don't want to wait until you get into it deeply before you discover a lot. If you can't make the decision on your own, it will be a waste of time."

In her opinion, although Fei Nanxing does not have a prominent family background, Mr. Fei, who treats him like a father, is also very hard-working and gentle and polite in dealing with others. He can be said to be a very good husband candidate.

But Wu Xiangling is a lady from an official family. Her mother comes from a family of big businessmen, and her father is a second-ranked Jinshi. Although she is only a local seventh-rank official, she is not something that a small scholar can reach, let alone the Wu family. There is also an elder in the court who is of the fourth rank.

In the past, Wu Xiangling was bloated due to poisoning. Magistrate Wu and others chose the Qin family as their betrothal partners. Although Qin Hao was an out-and-out scumbag, the Qin family could be considered a family of officials.

Now that Wu Xiangling has detoxified and his body has regained its slenderness and gracefulness, Mrs. Wu and Magistrate Wu may have higher expectations and will not let Wu Xiangling marry a young scholar without a father or mother.

Wu Xiangling was silent for a while after listening to Zhou Ran's words, and whispered to Zhou Ran: "Thank you, A'ran, I understand." She would first find out the attitudes of her father and mother. If they disagreed...

Wu Xiangling took a breath, with a look of dejection on her face. Her parents loved her so much, and if they really didn't agree, she couldn't ignore their opinions and insist on marrying.

Seeing that Wu Xiangling was in a bad mood, Zhou Ran comforted her for a while, then changed the subject and chatted for a while about snacks that Wu Xiangling was more interested in. Seeing that Wu Xiangling was in a better mood, she left the Wu Mansion.

When she handed the "Screen to Wealth" to Mrs. Wu, the system prompted that the task was completed. After returning home, Zhou Ran clicked on the system to check. The number in the HP column was now: 444.

Zhou Ran's mouth twitched when she looked at this string of 4. This number was a bit too unlucky.

Looking at the two long-term tasks, the task of becoming an intermediate embroiderer is already nearly halfway progressed, but the task of setting up an embroidery skills training institution to teach contemporary women to learn embroidery skills so that embroidery skills can be carried forward in this era is only one step ahead. Dot and Dian indicated that she was just the beginning of this task.

After reading it, Zhou Ran decided to continue practicing embroidery and complete the task of becoming an intermediate embroiderer as soon as possible.

Intermediate embroiderers are required to be proficient in embroidery techniques, expressive in stitching, and able to naturally change techniques according to different themes. Master the styles of two or more schools, skillfully use silk threads of different thicknesses such as 32 silk, 16 silk, 8 silk, 4 silk, etc., and produce and complete at least 100 works, covering flowers and trees, birds and animals, landscapes, fish and insects, portraits, etc. theme.

She has basically been able to meet the previous requirements, but the reason why the mission is not yet halfway through is probably because of the last one.

Therefore, she should hurry up and embroider more works now.

After thinking about what to do next, Zhou Ran turned off the system panel and opened the wallet that Mrs. Wu gave her. There was a thousand taels of silver notes in the wallet, which was not more than what Qian Dongjia and Qin Hao had given her before, but Zhou Ran very satisfied.

The reason why Qian’s boss would give so much money was because double-sided embroidery with different colors had never appeared in this era.

Qin Hao gave so much because she deliberately tricked him.

Based on the size of the "Screen Opening the Wealth" she embroidered, the thousand taels of silver given by Mrs. Wu was already too much.

After putting away the banknotes, Zhou Ran went to the specially arranged embroidery room.

In the room, Da Niu was sitting in front of the embroidery frame and immersed in embroidery. Zhou Ran came closer and saw that it was an embroidery that Da Niu had been embroidering for a while. It was in the final stage and was about to be completed.

The entire embroidery can be used as a Kang screen. The embroidered surface is "Slim and Beautiful", with two blooming lotus flowers, a half-opened bud, and a completely unopened flower bud, plus a few pieces of dark lotus. Leaves, and a dragonfly flying from far away and landing on the flower, the color is very natural and fresh, the stitches are neat, the lines are tightly arranged, and the stitches are not exposed. It is a very excellent embroidery.

After the big girl closed the needle, Zhou Ran praised: "Not bad."

After hearing Zhou Ran's praise, Da Niu turned around and shouted happily: "Master."

"Yeah." Zhou Ran responded and asked the eldest girl: "Where is the little sister? Why don't you see her?"
