Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 801 Enter Liao City! (4)
"It's not too late."

"Tomorrow, there will definitely be many ladies and ladies from Liaocheng who will come to greet you. This time, you are the only one answering the house. Are you sure you will not be tired tomorrow?"

Qian Xia sighed helplessly, "Actually, if I say that dealing with these ladies and ladies is more tiring than practicing swords, you definitely won't believe it."

Mu Liu smiled young, "Believe it, why don't you believe it? It's okay. You are the imperial concubine, if you want to see it, you can see it, and if you don't want to see it, just send it away. Don't really tire yourself out."

"It's true to say so, but how can I really do this? We are new to Liaocheng. And, think about your plan again? Through these ladies and ladies, maybe we can get some unexpected things information."

"That's true, then it's up to you."

"At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, if there were an army of [-], would we be able to resist it?"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it. Besides, doesn't Liao City still have some soldiers and horses? Don't worry, I will integrate them as soon as possible. Even if they can't be integrated into the Mu family army, at least they can't delay us. Moreover, we are next to Yangzhou, and once Liaocheng is in trouble, it is impossible for Yangzhou to sit idly by."

Although Qian Xia was still a little worried, she felt much relieved when she heard what Mu Liunian said.

The next day, Mu Liunian went directly to the governor's office, and Qian Xia was not idle, and tidied things up early, and sure enough, wives and ladies came to the door soon.

There were quite a few people who came, but Qian Xia naturally couldn't see everyone.

I just picked a few people with some backgrounds, whose husband's official position is not lower than the fourth rank, and the others just accepted the gifts at the doorman, recorded the roster, and went back to look at them one by one.

Before noon, Qian Xia sat in the pavilion, saw Xiao Lan, narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked Sanqi to call her over.

"You said that day that you knew how to embroider on both sides. I'm free today, why don't you tell me first. How is double-sided embroidering different?"

"Yes, Crown Princess."

Since he entered the city, he naturally knew the identity of this lady, and the title was naturally changed.

"The concubine Hui Shi, the maidservant's mother once said that no matter flat embroidery, weaving embroidery, knot embroidery, beating embroidery, velvet cutting embroidery, three-dimensional embroidery, double-sided embroidery, etc., they all pay attention to the appearance and inner quality of the image, even if Every scale and claw, every petal and leaf is meticulous. And the requirements of Double Face Township are naturally more stringent."

"Be more specific." Qian Xia seemed to be extremely interested.

Xiaolan kept her head down, and then replied, "There are a few points that must be paid attention to in this double-sided embroidery. First, when embroidering, cut the end of the thread evenly, stab it from the top, and then start the needle two or three threads away from the needle. , pull out a little thread tail, and press the thread tail when stitching, connect the thread several short stitches, hide the thread tail, so that the front and back sides do not show the thread end. This is very important.”

Qian Xia nodded, "I understand this, otherwise, the embroidered things would lose their beauty. Continue."

"Yes. Secondly, when embroidering, pass the needle straight through without piercing the embroidery thread on the back. That is to say, there must be no slight deviation. This is also very difficult to do. Many experienced embroiderers , and often ruined a semi-finished product because of a shaking of the hand or a deviation."

"It does sound a bit difficult." Qian Xia seemed to be a little hesitant. Do you want to learn such a difficult acupuncture method?
"Another thing to pay attention to is to master the needle arrangement: arrange the stitches very evenly in order, and not be dense and dense, so that the two sides can be equal. Therefore, before many embroiderers learn double-sided embroidery, the stitches they embroider on one side are all the same. The requirements are very strict, if the stitches are not even enough, you are not allowed to learn double-sided embroidery."

"Well, it makes sense. I heard that this kind of double-sided embroidery is very rare in our Ziye. Firstly, it is because there are too few people who are good at double-sided embroidery. Secondly, because of what you just said, it is often possible because A little mistake can ruin an embroidery."

"Returning to the concubine, that's right. I have been learning from my mother since I was a child, but after so long, I dare not embroider large objects. I just embroider some double-sided handkerchiefs and some small pendants."

"Be careful, it's right there. Is there anything else I should pay attention to with this double-sided embroidery?"

"The last thing to pay attention to is the hidden head. It is to hide the end of the thread in the last stitch, and the thread end cannot be exposed. Only in this way can it be called a perfect embroidery. If there is a thread end, it cannot be called a double stitch. It's embroidered."

After hearing this, Qian Xia sighed, and asked Aunt Qing beside her, "You are good at embroidery, how about it? You may have done what she just said?"

Aunt Qing smiled and said, "Back to the concubine, this servant can do it. However, this embroidery method, this servant has to learn from Miss Xiaolan."

"Okay, Xiaolan, then you can stop what you're doing for now, and teach Aunt Qing, if you need anything, just tell Aunt Qing, and she will prepare it for you."

"Yes, Crown Princess."

After the person went down, Qian Xia's face gradually turned cold, "Aunt Qing, be careful, this Xiaolan is not easy, although I can't see what her purpose is, but I don't want to see her. Maybe it’s really just to serve me.”

"Yes, Princess Concubine, I understand."

"Also, I had people try her a few times, but I still couldn't test whether she has kung fu. If it wasn't because I was worried that I would startle the snake. I would definitely let Yaoyue and Yuanchu also try her. Now, we All you can do is be more careful."

"Your servant understands. However, if you try to harm the concubine and the son, then you must be more careful in the dining room."

"Well, Liaocheng has a lot of affairs now, and it was naturally busy at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, nothing can go wrong. If I am not worried about a strong enemy coming, I will definitely come to invite you into the urn. But now, obviously the timing is not suitable. .”

"The servant understands the meaning of the concubine, and the servant will watch her carefully."

Aunt Qing is a smart person, as can be seen from the arrangement of Shi Zifei, she wants to let herself be by her side in the name of learning art, to restrain her and monitor her at the same time.
