Chapter 166 Double-sided Embroidery

After seeing a good embroidery shop, the quality of the embroidery there was good, so Ye Hui bought seven pieces in one go.These embroideries are exquisite in workmanship and have auspicious meanings. Whether they are hung in your apartment or given to everyone, they are excellent.

The current price of such fine embroidery is basically the price of cabbage, even if you bought seven pieces, Ye Hui felt that it was too little!

Five of the larger ones were put into the space, and the remaining two were smaller. She and Li Zhiheng each took one in their hands. It's always a lie, isn't it? !
As soon as he entered the door, he ran into Yuqian who was about to go out.

"It turns out that the two of you went out to buy embroidery, no wonder you can't be found anywhere."

"Yes, you are busy, so we can only have fun by ourselves." Ye Hui joked.

It's just that the speaker has no intention, but the hearer is interested.Even though Yu Qiandang was a little embarrassed, she had been busy with her grandma these days, but left the two of them aside in the cold, which was really wrong.

Li Zhiheng saw that Yuqian was apologetic, so he hurried out to smooth things over, "We also like these embroideries. When Xiaohui was making wedding dresses, I saw Aunt Shen show off her embroidery skills. Now that I am in the hometown of Suzhou embroidery, I can't let it go." If you have such a good opportunity, you must return with a rewarding experience!"

Yuqian cast a grateful look at Li Zhiheng, and then said: "When it comes to Suzhou embroidery, you can be regarded as looking far away. If you are far away, you dare not say, at least in this small town, in terms of Suzhou embroidery technology, if my little aunt is second , then no one dares to be number one!"

"Really?!" Ye Hui was surprised.

When I learned embroidery from Shen Qing before, I heard her say something about it.Generally speaking, grandma's Suzhou embroidery was a masterpiece back then, but Shen Qing never liked it, so naturally she didn't learn much. At that time, Ye Hui sighed and sighed for a long time.

"Of course it's true!" Yuqian said seriously, "If you don't believe me, come and take a look with me. At this time, the little aunt must be embroidering, so you can watch it when you go!"

Ye Hui would never refuse, and followed Yu Qian to see Shen Dan's embroidery.

Sure enough, when they arrived.Shen Dan was sitting in the room embroidering, when he saw them coming in, he greeted them again.

Ye Hui leaned over to look at the embroidery she was working on. She had already completed a part of it, which was a half-embroidered carp.Although it is only half of it, it is enough to see Shen Dan's superb embroidery skills.The pattern is light and dark, making it even more vivid. Every scale seems to be shining in the sunlight. It really is a boutique, even catching up with the embroidery in her space!
"It's so beautiful!" Ye Hui couldn't help admiring.

Yuqian, on the other hand, was full of pride, "Let me just say, little auntie's embroidery is definitely the best in this small town!"

"Xiaoqian!" Shen Dan glared at Ye Huiyuqian with feinted anger, and then said with a shy smile, "Don't listen to her, she has been exaggerating since she was a child."

Ye Hui took this sentence seriously.only…

"Little aunt, your embroidery is really exquisite! But it is much better than the ones we bought in those shops. If I had known, I would have come to you!" Some regrets.

Shen Dan blushed a little, and then said: "It's rare that you like it, I still have some embroidery that I embroidered before. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you!"

As he spoke, he opened the cabinet next to him and took out a stack of embroidery from it.

Ye Hui was very happy. Shen Dan's embroidery was really the best of the best, and it could be said that it was precious.Ye Hui couldn't help thinking secretly, what should she give back.

Over there, Yuqian looked in the open cabinet and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Wow, little aunt, your dowry is ready to be embroidered?! Can you show us?"

Shen Dan's face turned red suddenly, very much like a little girl in the south of the Yangtze River.Pushing Yu Qian to close the cabinet again, she said angrily, "What are you talking about? Get up and open it, I'll cover the cabinet!"

Ye Hui and Li Zhiheng could hear clearly, but their faces were full of astonishment.Li Zhiheng even blurted out: "Auntie, did you embroider the dowry yourself?!"

Shen Dan nodded shyly and explained: "Yes! There is such a custom in our small town that when a daughter's family gets married, the dowry must be embroidered by herself!"

"Eh?!" Yu Qian interjected, "Why didn't I see that my mother had this dowry embroidered with flowers?!"

Hearing this, Shen Dan tapped on Yuqian's forehead all the time, glared at her and said: "But this is not absolute. Some girls are not good at embroidery or find it troublesome, so they only embroider one or two pieces of clothing. That's all. How do you know that your mother doesn't have that dowry? It's just that the time is too short, but there are also a pair of pillowcases embroidered on it, and there is also a quilt cover embroidered by me and your grandmother!"

Yuqian sighed, and said: "Little aunt, you don't have to help my mother round, I know her embroidery skills are not good!"

Shen Dan really has nothing to do with this poor niece.

"Little aunt, can you show us the dowry you embroidered? We have never seen the dowry embroidered by ourselves!" Ye Hui's eyes were full of hope.

Shen Dan nodded, then turned around and took out the dowry from the cabinet.

It was the first time for the three of them to see this kind of embroidery as a dowry, and they were both surprised and delighted.On the bright red satin surface, the embroidered phoenixes and phoenixes are lifelike, and there are also clusters of flowers, matching each other.The complicated patterns, bright colors and bright red colors make the whole room red.

Ye Hui caressed the flat but three-dimensional pattern, and couldn't help sighing, the love of Jiangnan children, embroidering her own dowry with her own hands is also a different kind of wonderful feeling!In some costume dramas that I have occasionally seen before, the daughter's family prepares their own dowry by themselves.Unexpectedly, she actually saw an example now!
Li Zhiheng was even more amazed when he saw this huge project.How much painstaking effort it takes to complete such a vivid and colorful work stitch by stitch!
In fact, most of Shen Dan's embroideries are pillowcases and quilt covers, and there are also some other shapes of covers, which are probably covers for tables or sewing machines.Just because it is used as a dowry, they are all bright red.

Flipping through the stack of embroidery, a corner of the pale pink gauze is exposed underneath, which is really eye-catching in the mass of bright red.Pulling out the pink gauze in twos and threes, it was embroidered with elegant patterns, but it turned out to be double-sided, double-sided embroidery!
Seeing Ye Hui holding the pink gauze and looking at it, she explained: "That one is for a screen, and it is double-sided embroidery."

It can be seen that this double-sided embroidery is naturally good, but compared with her single-sided embroidery skills, it is much worse.

"Your double-sided embroidery skills seem to be inferior to this single-sided embroidery." Ye Hui said comparing the two.

Shen Dan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Ye Hui, a layman, to see it so thoroughly.He nodded and said: "Indeed, not only me, but even my mother's double-sided embroidery skills are much worse than single-sided embroidery skills. My skills are completely learned from my mother, although I have also studied it myself. This double-sided embroidery is just immature, and there is no guidance from a master, and there is no high-quality reference for me to study and study, so my double-sided embroidery is still like this."

It can be seen that Shen Dan is quite sorry for this.Thinking of the space, there are still a few double-sided embroidery of Suzhou embroidery, so why not give one to Shen Dan, it can be regarded as a gift for yourself!
Thinking of this, he used the bag as a cover to take out a piece of double-sided embroidery to Shen Dan and said, "This is a piece of double-sided embroidery we found, and it is said to be a fine Suzhou embroidery in the Qing Dynasty. Give it to little aunt?!"

With Shen Dan's eyesight, he can naturally see the preciousness of this double-sided embroidery. Looking carefully at the stitches in it, he even realizes that it is a stitch technique that he has never seen before. It is really extraordinary!Immediately, she was a little excited, "Here, where did you get it?" If it was an embroidery sold in a shop in this town, it was impossible for her not to know about it.

"We brought this from the capital, just to use it to compare the quality of the embroidery sold in these shops. But it is quite useful. Compared with this, we can also see that the embroidery The product is good or bad." Ye Hui explained.

"Indeed, this is the best double-sided embroidery, and the stitching method on it is indeed something I have never seen before. It is probably a stitching technique that has been lost for many years. It is so precious!" Shen Dan murmured read.

Ye Hui smiled and said, "It's fine if you like it, I was thinking of giving you something in return!"

"How is this possible?" Shen Dan frowned, "This gift is too precious, I can't accept it!"

"Little aunt, that's not what I said. Not to mention that we have taken so many embroidery products from you, even if I give this embroidery product to you, I will not lose money! This is just one picture. When you learn how to embroider on both sides The stitching method above, I will take two or three of yours by then! I have earned it!"

Shen Dan also really liked this double-sided embroidery, so he didn't refuse anymore, carefully put away this double-sided embroidery, and said: "Okay! When I learn it later, I'll embroider for you as much as you want!"

Since they are going to Bai's house, they can't stay here for too long.In the last few days, Yuqian finally found time to take Ye Hui and Li Zhiheng around the streets and alleys of this small town.

Yuqian is different from Ye Hui, she is not interested in those artistic embroidery.Her way of hospitality is naturally to take Ye Hui and Li Zhiheng to eat all kinds of authentic snacks hidden in the streets and alleys.

There are all kinds of snacks like chicken feet, smoked roast meat, smoked roast duck, smoked roast chicken, and dried tofu.Even Li Zhiheng, who doesn't like heavy flavors, can't put it down for the fragrant and spicy dried tofu.This is the same as Ye Hui, she likes spicy food the most, especially dried tofu!

There are other kinds of snacks, needless to say.

After the past two days, I dare not say anything else, but they absolutely ate all kinds of snacks here, and this trip was quite satisfactory.

　There is no class in the afternoon, and I wanted to save some more essays, but I still hesitated. . . . . . . . . . . .
