Chapter 9 Screen
Zhou Ran couldn't help but look a little weird. This mission really made people think too much! But it's always a good thing to have a new chance to extend your life.

But how can I get my embroidery to appear in Dean Meng’s birthday gift?
Zhou Ran frowned and thought hard for a while, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Ye Ximing with burning eyes.

How could she forget that Ye Ximing was a student of Qingfeng College before the accident, and he was still a very outstanding student.

Perhaps because Zhou Ran's gaze was too intense, Ye Ximing looked up and looked at Zhou Ran. Ye Ximing coughed lightly and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "I remember you were studying at Qingfeng Academy, right?"

Although Ye Ximing didn't know why Zhou Ran suddenly mentioned this matter, he still nodded.

"Then you must know Dean Meng, right?" Zhou Ran continued to ask.

Ye Ximing continued to nod: "I know you."

"So how is your relationship? Do you interact a lot?"

Ye Ximing considered it and said: "Dean Meng is very knowledgeable and generous in giving guidance to students. When I was in the academy, I was lucky enough to have Dean Meng give me advice several times."

"Okay, I get it now."

She almost understood what she needed to know. Zhou Ran looked away and continued to frown and think deeply. It would be feasible to give embroidery as a birthday gift to Dean Meng in the name of Ye Ximing. What she should consider now is what kind of embroidery to give.

She only had twenty-eight days, and she had never embroidered anything large before. She would definitely not be able to embroider anything too large in a short while.

As for small items...it seems that only a small and exquisite table screen is most suitable.

But what pattern to embroider? The general tricks seem a bit hard to come by.

Zhou Ran sighed quietly. Her progress was still too slow. It would be great if she could embroider on both sides now.

Ye Ximing saw Zhou Ran frowning for a while and sighing for a while. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Ran suddenly started laughing again.

Ye Ximing shook his head, retracted his gaze, and returned his mind to the book in his hand.

Zhou Ran has already thought about what pattern to embroider. Dean Meng is a scholar, and most scholars like elegant things at heart. Since she is lacking in skills, she might as well find another way to give Dean Meng a wild and interesting reed. The double duck screen is ready.

She had seen the pattern of reeds and double ducks in books, and it was very artistic.

Now that Zhou Ran had thought about it, she stopped delaying and took action immediately.

This embroidery of two reed ducks took Zhou Ran more than half a month to complete. The duck's eyes were covered with a set trocar, the duck's feathers were patterned with a flat-haired trocar, and the down was made with a live-hair trocar. To increase the flexibility of the down, she also used acupuncture. For reed leaves and reed flowers, she used loose needles and seeding needles.

The whole embroidery looks long-lasting and profound in artistic conception.

It's not clear whether Dean Meng likes Zhou Ran, but she is very satisfied.

It happened that Ye Dalang had finished his work with his master during this period, and Zhou Ran was going to ask Ye Dalang to ask him to add a base to the embroidery.

But before that, Zhou Ran had to go to the county town first and hand over the dozen or so embroidery handkerchiefs she had accumulated to Linglong Embroidery Workshop. She would also buy some embroidery threads and find someone to help her find out about Meng Yuan's longevity. Excuse.

Zhou Ran didn't take Ye Erlang's donkey cart when she went to the county seat. Ye Erlang left too early in the morning. She chose to take Old Man Liu's ox cart when she went to the county seat this time.

Unfortunately, she met the woman named Ma again. Zhou Ran now knew about the grudge between the woman named Ma and the Ye family.

It turned out that the woman surnamed Ma's natal family was from the town and her family was relatively wealthy. Her niece had fallen in love with Ye Ximing and wanted to get married to the Ye family. The woman surnamed Ma confidently approached the Ye family and met with the Ye family. When the family mentioned this matter, they thought that the Ye family would happily agree, but Zhang refused on the spot.

Since then, the person surnamed Ma has disliked the Ye family. After Ye Ximing's accident, she often made sarcastic remarks behind his back.

She suffered a loss in front of Mr. Zhang last time. This time Ms. Zhang was away and Zhou Ran was alone. She couldn't help but be mean-mouthed again.

"Hey, isn't this the scholar's wife? Why do you still have time to go to the county seat? Don't you have to take care of Ye Xiucai at home? It seems that your scholar has not shown up for a while. How is his health? Can he still hold on? ?"

Zhou Ran rolled her eyes and said, "Auntie, do you live by the sea?"

The woman surnamed Ma was confused, "What do you mean? Don't you know where my family lives?"

"I just don't understand how you can be so lenient since your family doesn't live by the sea? You can take care of your own family's affairs, so why worry about other people's affairs?"

"You!!!" The woman surnamed Ma gasped in anger at Zhou Ran.

There was a woman in the car who had a good relationship with Zhang and pretended to scold Zhou Ran, "Sanlang's wife, why are you talking to your Aunt Ma?" Then she turned to the woman surnamed Ma and said, "Her Aunt Ma, my child." She is young and speaks more straightforwardly, so don’t get angry with her.”

Another woman also said: "Yes, Aunt Ma, why are you fussing with a child? The dress you are wearing today is newly made, right? The color is really bright."

The woman surnamed Ma originally wanted to have a few more arguments with Zhou Ran, but after hearing what the woman said, she immediately stopped caring about arguing with Zhou Ran. She touched her clothes and raised her chin with a proud look, " Does it look good?"

"I made this from the cloth that my niece paid homage to me. She is very lucky. She got engaged to a family in the county some time ago. The betrothal gift was very generous. She not only gave fifty taels of silver. , and also gave cloth and jewelry.”

"My niece picked out the brightest one and sent it to me. She said it was a good thing she didn't marry into our village before. Otherwise, she would have no place to cry now. How could she be so lucky?"

The woman surnamed Ma finished speaking with a sigh, and looked in Zhou Ran's direction several times.

Zhou Ran snorted coldly and ignored her.

The woman surnamed Ma was a little disappointed when Zhou Ran didn't respond. However, someone in the car enviously asked her about the situation of her niece's fiancé's family. She was busy showing off and did not find trouble with Zhou Ran.

When the oxcart arrived at the county town, Zhou Ran said hello to the two women who were speaking to him on the oxcart, and then went to Linglong Embroidery Workshop.

"Mrs. Zhou is here." The waiter in the embroidery workshop greeted Zhou Ran with a smile and said, "Ms. Zhou is here to deliver embroidery products, right? Our shopkeeper is receiving distinguished guests upstairs right now. Mrs. Zhou It may take a while.”

"Nothing, I just happened to be shopping in the store." Zhou Ran said.

This is her third visit to Linglong Embroidery Workshop, but she has never had a good look at the embroidery in the workshop.

"Mrs. Zhou, please take a look around for now. If you need anything, come to me." said the waiter.

Zhou Ran thanked her and started shopping in the store.

After walking around for a while, Zhou Ran had an idea.

The embroiderers at Linglong Embroidery Studio know only a limited number of stitches. Most of them seem to know only two or three stitches. Only the flower and bird screen in the middle of the shop uses nine stitches.
