In the morning, Zhao Keran woke up from his dream.Last night there was no dream, Zhao Keran slept very comfortingly.After waking up, Zhao Keran was in a daze, not knowing where he was.After a while, Zhao Keran slowly woke up.Thinking of what happened last night, Zhao Keran felt hot on his face.

Thinking of crying in Situ Xu's arms last night, and telling Situ Xu her inner grievances, Zhao Keran felt ashamed when she thought of this, and buried her head directly in the bed, her heart kept saying Shen Yin, oh my god , It's embarrassing.I'm just an idiot, and that Situ Xu, I haven't figured out who he is yet, so I confided in him like this, what a lack of understanding!Also, I seem to have promised something, but what exactly is it?Zhao Keran couldn't think of anything at once.Zhao Keran raised his head, thinking hard.

Last night, I was in a bad mood, and then Situ Xu came and confessed to her.Thinking of this, Zhao Keran's face turned even redder.Then, I told Situ Xu how I felt, and then I seemed to cry and fell into his arms.It seems that there is something else, what did I miss.

By the way, maid.Zhao Keran finally remembered, it turned out that before leaving last night, Situ Xu said that he would send some maids to him, and he had already agreed.Thinking of this, Zhao Keran couldn't help calling himself a fool again.He didn't even know the identity of that Situ Xu, yet he had already agreed to accept the maid that he gave him.However, Zhao Keran didn't know why, she still seemed to believe that Situ Xu would not hurt herself.Although I said that I didn't want to believe him, my heart still involuntarily approached him.Not only was she willing to reveal her heart to him, but she was even willing to show her vulnerable side in front of him.Zhao Keran also didn't understand, why did he trust Situ Xu so much?It's really strange.

However, since he couldn't figure it out, Zhao Keran would not waste his brain power thinking about this problem in vain.However, she will still accept the maid sent by Situ Xu, because there is indeed a shortage of people around her.Long'er is too young and not stable enough to do great things. Although Yuegu is shrewd, she is old and can't handle many things.And in this family, besides them, I really have no other confidantes.Now that Zhao Keren is pressing on every step of the way, he really needs manpower very much.In addition, it seems that Situ Xu is not an ordinary person, and the maid he found should be better than ordinary maids.Besides, she believed that Situ Xu would not harm her.

Thinking of this, Zhao Keran felt more at ease.If Situ Xu could hear Zhao Keran's voice now, he would be so happy.

Not long after, Yuegu and Long'er came in to clean up Zhao Keran.

After Zhao Keran finished his breakfast, he came to the pavilion in Chunhui Garden and continued to finish his embroidery.Now there are only about ten days until Mrs. Qin's birthday.Zhao Keran planned to embroider a pair of screens and give them to his grandmother as a birthday gift.Because of the learning in the previous life, Zhao Keran's embroidery skills are not ordinary now.This time she didn't just embroider a screen, she embroidered double-sided embroidery!

The so-called double-sided embroidery is also called double-sided embroidery, which is to embroider the front and back images on the same base material in the same embroidery process.

In fact, to put it bluntly, double-sided embroidery is an embroidery method in which patterns of the same front and back colors are embroidered on one base material at the same time with one stitch.It is different from single-sided embroidery: the single-sided embroidery method only requires the neatness of the front side, and the stitching lines on the reverse side can be ignored; while the double-sided embroidery requires the front and back sides to be equally neat and dense.

Double-sided three-different embroidery is invented on the basis of double-sided different-color embroidery, and it is also a development of double-sided different-color embroidery.Its characteristics are: the front and back sides of the embroidery are different, different needles and different colors.That is, the corresponding parts on the front and back sides have different patterns, different stitching methods, and different colors.It enables viewers to appreciate embroidery art images of different patterns, stitches and colors on a piece of embroidery.

There are several key points in double-sided embroidery. [-]. When embroidering, trim the end of the thread evenly, stab it from the top, and then start the needle two or three threads away from the needle. Press it down, connect the short stitches a few times, and hide the end of the thread so that the front and back are not exposed.[-]. When embroidering, hold the needle vertically so as not to pierce the embroidery thread on the reverse side.[-]. Master the pin arrangement: Arrange the pins very evenly in order, and the two sides can be made equal without improper density.Fourth, the hidden head is to hide the end of the thread in the last stitch, so that the end of the thread cannot be exposed.

These four points are very simple to say, but it is very difficult to actually implement them.Every step must be mastered. If any step is wrong, the double-sided embroidery will become very ugly, even worse than single-sided embroidery.Especially the work of closing the end of the thread in double-sided embroidery is very important.Back then, Zhao Keran barely learned it after studying for a whole month.Later, Zhao Keran practiced more often.Therefore, now Zhao Keran has fully mastered the embroidery method of double-sided embroidery, so it is not very difficult to embroider.In addition, Zhao Keran had already started embroidering a month ago, so he should be able to embroider it before his grandmother's birthday.

One side of this screen is a pattern of cranes celebrating birthdays.In Taoism, the crane is a symbol of longevity, so there is the saying of the crane, and the ancestors of Taoism mostly used the crane or the deer as their seats.The crane mentioned here is actually the red-crowned crane.The red-crowned crane is elegant in temperament and beautiful in shape. It is known for its "three lengths" in beak, neck and legs. When standing upright, it can reach a height of more than one meter.In addition, cranes occupy a very important position in Chinese culture, and they are closely related to immortality and human spiritual character.Grandmother is now nearly 60 years old, so this pattern is very suitable.

On the other side of the screen is a picture of a flat peach presenting a birthday. On it is a chubby child holding a flat peach in his hand.According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West is a fairy who lives in the Kunlun Mountains in western China. Every year on the 3000th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is the Christmas of the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi.There are 6000 peach trees in the peach garden of the Queen Mother.There are 9000 plants in the front, the flowers and fruits are small, and they ripen once in [-] years. People who eat them will become immortals and become immortals.There are [-] plants in the middle, which ripen once in [-] years. People who eat Xiaju will fly up and live forever.There are [-] plants in the back, with purple veins and fine cores, and they are ripe for [-] years. People who eat them can live as long as the world, and the sun and the moon are the same age.And this "Peach Blossom Presenting Longevity Picture" is meant to prolong life.

The patterns on these two sides were decided by Zhao Keran after careful consideration.In fact, both my grandmother and my late grandfather were very kind to me.Especially the late grandfather, when he was young, he actually looked a lot like his grandmother, but later, under Zhao Keren's perennial suppression, he became inferior and cowardly, so he looked less and less like his grandmother up.Regardless of u Guo, his grandfather still loves him very much.What my grandfather liked most during his lifetime was collecting some antique calligraphy and paintings.Later, my grandfather passed away, and most of the antique calligraphy and paintings were left to myself.

The "Spring Songs Stepping on the Snow" borrowed by Zhao Keren before is one of them.That picture was drawn by the late contemporary famous artist Wu Zhouzi.The painting depicts the scene of tourists walking in the countryside in the late winter and early spring, stepping on the newly melted snow.This picture is very precious. It was cheated by Zhao Keren in the previous life, but luckily I was careful this time.She still remembered that in her previous life, since Zhao Keren cheated out of the "Picture of Spring Songs Stepping on the Snow", she cheated a lot of good things from herself.In the previous life, I was foolish enough to be deceived. In this life, I will definitely keep everything my grandfather left me.

In fact, apart from this screen, Zhao Keran specially prepared another gift for his grandmother.However, she would never let anyone know about that gift until the day it was revealed.Thinking of that gift, Zhao Keran couldn't help laughing.

While Zhao Keran was seriously embroidering the screen, Long'er walked into the pavilion, saluted, and said to Zhao Keran,

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss is here, just waiting outside!"

Zhao Keren is here!After Zhao Keran heard the news, he couldn't help frowning. What was Zhao Keren's reason for coming here at this time?

"Go ask her to come in!"

While talking, Zhao Keran put the embroidery on the stone table.

Soon, Zhao Keren walked in.Zhao Keran looked up, Zhao Keren was wearing a goose yellow tulle skirt today, with elegant hem and fluttering sleeves, every movement was elegant.The skin is like snow, the eyebrows are like black, the eyes are like stars, the nose is high, the mouth is like a cherry, and the face is slightly thin.The goose-yellow clothes added a bit of coquettishness to her.

Looking at Zhao Keren who came here generously, even if Zhao Keran didn't like her, he had to admit that Zhao Keren was indeed a natural beauty, no wonder she became one of the "Four Great Beauties" in the capital, even she had to be convinced for her beauty. 13acv.

Thinking of this, Zhao Keran couldn't help laughing at himself, he was like this in his previous life, wasn't he?It's because Zhao Keren is good-looking and treats himself well.At that time, she lacked the care of her parents, so as long as Zhao Keren showed affection to her, she would trust her unconditionally, and told her everything, and never refused her request.In the end, even his own life was lost.However, in this life, I will never be so stupid again.Everything she experienced in her previous life, she will pay back to Zhao Keren in this life.A firm light flashed in Zhao Keran's eyes.

"Sister, why do you look so ugly!" Before entering, Zhao Keren noticed that Zhao Keran's complexion seemed not very good, and asked in a pretended concern, "Are you feeling unwell! Do you want to invite the doctor?" Take a look?" Chen Ke was a disciple last night.

Zhao Keran quickly shook off the thoughts in his mind, then stood up, raised a smile, "I'm fine, but I just didn't sleep well, that's why I don't look good."

"Sister, you should sit down first!" Zhao Keren helped Zhao Keran to sit down, and then took a seat opposite Zhao Keran.

"Long'er, go make another cup of tea, and go to the kitchen to get some egg crisps, the second miss likes to eat them!" Zhao Keran ordered.

Long'er left soon after taking the order.There were only two sisters Zhao Keran and Zhao Keren left in the pavilion.

After Zhao Keran looked at Zhao Keren, he asked strangely, "Keren, why didn't you see Xianyun today? Isn't she by your side every day?"

Zhao Keren smiled and replied, "I have something to do for her, so I'm not here."

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Keran asked again seemingly casually, "What the hell is it that you have your personal servant girl to do it in person? It seems that it is really not a trivial matter!"

Zhao Keren frowned, and a dark light flashed quickly in his eyes, "What's the big deal! It's just that I want to eat cakes from Wangyuelou, so I asked Xianyun to buy them."

Although the dark light in Zhao Keren's eyes only flashed by, Zhao Keran still noticed it.It seems that things are not that simple, and I have to be more careful.

Even though he was thinking this way in his heart, Zhao Keran still had a smile on his face, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"By the way, sister, what were you thinking just now!" Zhao Keren quickly changed the subject, "I saw that you seemed to be troubled by something just now, didn't you?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Keran said, "Sister is really observant! Actually, I just thought of Ling'er."

Hearing Ling'er's name, Zhao Keren showed a trace of unnaturalness on his face, "Really?"

Zhao Keran seemed not to have noticed Zhao Keren's unnaturalness, and continued, "Well, it doesn't matter what you say, Ling'er grew up with me. However, I really didn't expect that Ling'er would be so bold. She even dared to steal that imperial gift, and even sold it off. Even if I wanted to let her go, there's nothing I can do about it!"

Zhao Keren quickly echoed, "That's right! Ling'er deserved to die, sister, don't think too much about it."

Zhao Keran sighed again, "Yes, it's her life! Who told her to be so greedy?"

"That's right, sister, don't think about it anymore." Zhao Keren asked tentatively after thinking about it, "Sister, let me ask you, did Ling'er say anything strange to you before? "

Hearing that Zhao Keran mentioned Ling'er, Zhao Keren seized the opportunity and asked.She was afraid that Ling'er would tell about her before she was alive.

Zhao Keran naturally knew what Zhao Keren wanted to ask, she sneered in her heart, but she put on a puzzled expression on her face, "What is my sister talking about! Does my sister think that Ling'er has something to ask for?" told me?"

"No, what's the matter!" Zhao Keren quickly denied, "I don't know Ling'er well, how could I know!"

Hearing Zhao Keren's words, Zhao Keran said disappointedly, "I thought, sister, you came here to tell me something because you know something!"

Zhao Keren laughed quickly, "How can this be! In fact, I came here today because I just want to ask my sister about something."

Hearing what Zhao Keren said, Zhao Keran knew that Zhao Keren was going to get to the point, so he said with a smile, "Sister, if you have anything to say, just tell me! Sister, I will definitely tell you."

Zhao Keren smiled and shook his head, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask, sister, grandma's birthday is coming up, what birthday gift are you going to give grandma?"

"So that's what happened!" Zhao Keran replied with a smile, "Actually, it's nothing, and I don't have anything to give away. I just plan to embroider a screen and give it to my grandmother."

"The screen, is it?"

Zhao Keren saw the embroidery on the stone table, "Is this the one?"

So, Zhao Keren picked up the embroidery and looked at it, "Sister, what you embroidered is a crane to celebrate your birthday, isn't it?"

Zhao Keren only saw the pattern on the upward side, and she didn't even know that there was another pattern on the other side.Now, they haven't learned embroidery from Nanny Jin, so Zhao Keren didn't expect that Zhao Keran would be able to embroider on both sides, so he didn't notice the other side.

Looking at Zhao Keran's meticulously prepared gifts, Zhao Keren couldn't help laughing in his heart, it's really petty.However, she had an admiring expression on her face, "Sister, you really have a heart!"

Zhao Keran naturally noticed the flash of disdain on Zhao Keren's face, it seems that Zhao Keren really looked down on his gift!However, I will not remind her that this is a double-sided embroidery.She can tell Zhao Keren about this embroidery, but the other gift will not be revealed until the day of grandmother's birthday, and I hope Zhao Keren will not be too surprised.

"Then, sister, what birthday gift are you going to give?" Zhao Keran asked.

Zhao Keren shook his head with a smile, "I haven't thought of it yet! I don't know what to give as a gift. Grandma doesn't need anything. It's hard to imagine!"

Zhao Keren was also thinking about what gift to give.After all, now she is Xiran's fiancée.It was the first time for him to attend a banquet in this capacity, so he must not be careless.The only way to do it better this time is to let Xi Ran and the people in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion know that he is definitely much better than Zhao Keran.

A sly gleam flashed in Zhao Keran's eyes, "Sister, don't worry. Last time at Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet, wasn't the gift my sister gave her very popular? I believe this time, the gift my sister gave will definitely Grandmother will love it too."

Hearing Zhao Keran mention the matter of Mrs. Lin last time, Zhao Keren's expression became very unnatural.Of course she knew how much Aunt Lin liked the present last time.If it weren't for the "Spring Songs Stepping on the Snow", I would have won Aunt Lin's favor so quickly!However, when I think about it, I'm really not reconciled. Even though I and Zhao Keran are both granddaughters of my grandfather, my grandfather left so many antique calligraphy and paintings to Zhao Keran, and I have none.Just like last time, if the "Spring Songs Stepping on the Snow" was his own, then last time, he wouldn't have to bother to deceive Zhao Keran.Now I still have to worry about being discovered by Zhao Keran every day.

However, she had already made up her mind that if Zhao Keran found out, she would insist that Ling'er took the wrong one.Anyway, the painting has been given to Aunt Lin now.Zhao Keran will not run to find Aunt Lin to come back!

"Sister, sister." Seeing that Zhao Keren was completely immersed in his thoughts, Zhao Keran quickly called out.

"Oh, sister, what's the matter?" Hearing Zhao Keran's call, Zhao Keren woke up like a dream.

Zhao Keran shook his head amusedly, and looked at Zhao Keren dotingly, "You're asking me! I'm asking you! What are you thinking? You're so engrossed in thinking."

Although the expression on Zhao Keran's face is doting, but if you look carefully, you can find that in the depths of Zhao Keran's eyes, there is a cold light that is different from the expression!

Zhao Keren quickly concealed his inner thoughts, "Sister, what are you talking about! I can't think too much. I'm just thinking about what birthday gift I want to give my grandmother."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Keran said casually, "Actually, I have considered another thing, but unfortunately it is too expensive, so I can only settle for the next best thing, embroider a pair of screens and give it to my grandmother. "

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Keren's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged, "What the hell is it! Tell me quickly!"

Zhao Keran shook his head, and said in a very embarrassed way, "Sister, you probably want to buy it! That thing is really too expensive."

Zhao Keren was still pestering Zhao Keran, asking her to speak out, "Sister, just tell me! I will think about it carefully, and I will never mess around. If it is too expensive, then I will just go and have a look." .”

Zhao Keran looked embarrassed, "Okay then! Actually, there is a new white jade Guanyin statue in Zhenbaozhai. The whole body is white and flawless, and the sculpture of Guanyin is lifelike. It is a rare treasure. However, the price is very high."

After listening to Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Keren's eyes lit up.

"But man, you don't want to buy it!" Zhao Keran hurriedly persuaded, "It's too expensive, and there is—"

Zhao Keran did not continue.Seeing Zhao Keran's hesitant expression, Zhao Keren quickly asked, "What else!"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Keran said, "I heard that Cousin Yi Miao is also planning to buy this as a birthday present!"

"What, Cousin Yimiao is going to buy this!" Zhao Keren's eyes brightened even more. "

"That's right!" Zhao Keran nodded, "So, don't even think about it.

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Keren not only did not give up the idea of ​​buying the white jade Guanyin, but became more determined.Since cousin Yimiao wants to buy it, it means that it is really a rare treasure, and, all along, cousin Yimiao has been pressing on her head.Qin Yimiao, the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, is already a head above herself in the family world.Moreover, she is also one of the "Four Great Beauties" in Beijing, but the most important thing is that she is also the number one talented woman in Beijing.This time, I must buy this Guanyin statue.You must win Qin Yimiao once.Thinking of this, Zhao Keren secretly made up his mind.
