Chapter 225 Auction Embroidery
Ye Weilan heard that they talked about this topic, and felt that it was inconvenient for Xiaofu to stay and listen, so she took Chen Xiaofu's hand and said to her mother: "Mother, I took Xiaofu to the embroidery room in the backyard, let Xiaofu stay for dinner today .”

"Go!" Sui Youran waved her hand with a smile, her daughter was very thoughtful, now that she is getting heavier and heavier, and she gave birth to a child, there will be all kinds of hustle and bustle in this room, and the children will be noisy Some of them couldn't do embroidery work, so they specially arranged an embroidery room and a study room in the east wing of the backyard. The embroidery room and their little girls did embroidery work, and the study room was used to teach Song Hengzhi's two children to study.

Song Hengzhi is a learned man, but his luck was bad, so he was not able to go to the scientific examination. Chen Fugui had a chat with Song Hengzhi last time, so he worshiped Song Hengzhi as his teacher. In recent days, he always comes to ask for advice. He has a separate study room It is convenient for everyone.

At the door of the main room outside the embroidery room, there is a knee-high jar with water in it. Next to the jar is a basin stand, which Ye Weilan specially prepared for washing hands.

"Xiaofu, come and wash your hands." Ye Weilan greeted Chen Xiaofu, washed their hands together, then went into the room and took out a box of face cream, and handed it to Chen Xiaofu. "Xiaofu, moisten your hands with facial fat first, otherwise, the burrs on your hands will get tangled, and if lint gets tangled, the veil will be useless."

"Hey!" Chen Xiaofu agreed, following Ye Weilan's example, he reached out and scooped up a large lump of facial fat, spread it on his hands, and then wiped the facial fat away. "Sister Lan'er, this facial fat is really fragrant!"

Ye Weilan smiled and handed the face cream to her, "I'll give you this bottle. When you get home, remember to apply it every time you wash your hands, so that your hands won't be so rough after a long time."

"Ah?" Chen Xiaofu blushed, not daring to reach out to pick it up, "This...it's too expensive, my mother said, this face cream costs a tael of silver a bottle."

Ye Weilan pretended to be angry, "If you don't hold it, don't learn how to embroider with me! Your hands are so thick, how can you embroider? Besides, you borrowed clothes for me yesterday. I'm good, why don't I treat you well?"

Chen Xiaofu heard her say that his hands were thick, and his face became even redder. He looked down at his rough hands, and then at Ye Weilan's delicate white hands, feeling a deep sense of inferiority.

Ye Weilan took the opportunity to stuff the facial fat into her hands, "Here, you moisten your hands, and then you can embroider good embroidery, sell it to supplement the family, and earn money for your brother to study."

This is her focus, she can see that Chen Fugui loves this younger sister very much, she is the future Tanhualang, it is not convenient for her to please him directly, so she has to follow the younger sister policy and start with Chen Xiaofu.

She believed that as long as she had a good relationship with Chen Xiaofu, she would be able to get closer and closer to Chen Fugui in the future, and sooner or later she would be able to tie Chen Fugui and herself in the same boat.

Although she may not be able to use Chen Fugui to bring down the prime minister's mansion, after all, the Wen family has been operating in the court for so many years, and there is still a lady in the palace with deep roots, but having such a backer is better than not having one.

Moreover, as long as she doesn't show up and her existence is not known, the Wen family will naturally not be able to do anything to Chen Fugui.

"Thank you, Sister Lan'er." Chen Xiaofu accepted the bottle of facial fat sheepishly.

Ye Weilan said: "That's right!"

As she spoke, she greeted Chen Xiaofu to go to the kang with her, and her embroidery frame was placed on the kang, near the window.

In fact, according to what she meant, she wanted to make the windows into glazed panels, so that the light would be better, but after she inquired, she found out that glazed panels are priceless in Liaocheng. The money couldn't buy it, so I gave up the idea.

But this light is not satisfactory.

"Xiaofu, here are the embroidery things I prepared for you. Come and have a look." She took out a small bag and opened it. Inside were a flower frame, a few balls of embroidery thread, a needle bag, and a piece of white cloth. handkerchief, then smiled. "Come on, I'll teach you how to draw a flower first, and then I'll teach you the most basic flat stitch after I finish drawing the flower. I'll use your handkerchief to practice stitches, and when you're familiar with the stitches, I'll come back to formal stitching." Embroidering handkerchiefs. Whenever you see a random pattern, you will know what stitches to use to embroider it, even if you have learned it. However, this is a very long process, and it will take at least two or three years."

"En!" Chen Xiaofu agreed, and sat down beside the kang table like a studious student, carefully watching Ye Weilan take out a charcoal pencil from the sewing basket, and draw a pattern on her handkerchief. up.

After drawing the shape of the flower, I stretched it to the embroidery frame for Chen Xiaofu, and selected a needle and thread for her, and let Chen Xiaofu sit there and embroider slowly.

After Chen Xiaofu was settled, Ye Weilan opened a cabinet in the embroidery room, which was full of clothing materials. She took a piece of navy blue "Ruyi brocade" and spread it out on the table.

Song Jiayin saw her fiddle with the clothes, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Lan'er, do you want to make clothes?"

"Yeah!" Ye Weilan admitted frankly. "I want to make a suit of clothes for that benefactor."

As the saying goes, "Master and apprentice are like father and son", which means that when a master accepts an apprentice, he must try his best to teach the apprentice what he knows. On the contrary, the apprentice must respect the master as his own father.

Although she hasn't been able to take that down-and-out man as her teacher yet, she thinks that as long as she shows enough sincerity, she will be able to impress him.

After all, because of his wife's death, he was not so heartbroken that he became numb to the world, otherwise, he would not have rescued her that day, let alone cared about Xiao Hei's life or death.

He can also be nosy, which proves that deep down in his heart, he still has emotions.

As long as he still has emotions, she has a chance to impress him.

Song Jiayin couldn't help frowning slightly, "Are you still looking for that person?"

"Why didn't you look for it?" Ye Weilan asked funnyly.

"That person is so scary, will it hurt you?" Song Jiayin asked worriedly, she also knew that she shouldn't do this, she didn't mean to discriminate against that person, she just thought that that person was really scary, She saw clearly through the car window that day, the man just gently pulled Xiao Hei's rein, and then threw Xiao Hei several times in a row. She was really afraid that something would happen to the young lady, but the young lady was the eldest of their family. benefactor.

"It's okay, he won't hurt me." Ye Weilan smiled. Regarding this point, she is quite confident. If she wanted to hurt her, she would have done it long ago, and she would have to wait until now.

Ever since Song Jiayin knew her, she had been in charge of all matters in the family, so she knew how stubborn this young lady was. Seeing that the young lady was so determined, she couldn't say anything, so she had to let her go.

Ye Weilan thought about the figure of that pitifully skinny man, estimated the size with chalk, and then cut it, then took out a piece of fine cotton cloth for lining, drew the same size, cut it, and then took the needle and thread , sat down and sewed up.

In her previous life, she often made clothes. Mrs. Wen was in charge of the family, and she was extremely stingy with the people in the second room. The first room was reluctant to use too many needleworkers. She had to do it herself.

It's a pity that Wen Mo's official position as a first-rank official in the dynasty, the status of a concubine makes him unable to hold his head up. If the aunt's mother is not dead, it will always be suppressed by a big hat of unfilialism, so that the second wife can only make up for it.

Therefore, she was very skillful in making clothes, which surprised Song Jiayin a lot.

Song Jiayin raised her head from time to time to look at her attentive appearance, thinking to herself, this young lady in her family is really a genius, not only embroidering beautiful flowers, but also making clothes.

As for myself, who is three years older than her, but now only knows how to sew, it is really incomparable.

If I could be like Miss and knew how to embroider in the past, maybe the situation at home would not be like this, and my father's illness would not have dragged on for so long.

……

Ye Weilan asked Song Hengzhi for help, and sent letters to the shopkeepers of the four embroidery shops in the city, saying that they had double-sided embroidery to sell.

The letter was sent in the morning, and after lunch in the afternoon, shopkeepers from the four embroidery shops came one after another.

Before, Ye Weilan took a double-sided embroidered handkerchief to several embroidery shops to inquire about the price, and at the same time revealed her handicraft. The shopkeepers of these embroidery shops were very interested in her handicraft!
When they met at the gate of Ye Weilan's house, several people were taken aback, because each of them thought that Ye Weilan only invited themselves, but they never thought that Ye Weilan invited four people in one go.

As the saying goes, "A colleague is an enemy", this sentence is always a wise saying, the four people greeted each other with a smile on their faces, and then entered the door at the invitation of Song Hengzhi, and came to the study in the second courtyard.

Ye Weilan has already been waiting here, she is dressed very pretty today, she is dressed in apricot-colored satin jacket and trousers, like a little oriole, with two neat buns on her head, standing at the door of the study with a graceful expression, Welcome four people in.

Asking everyone to sit down, Song Hengzhi said: "It's really presumptuous to invite everyone here today, but if you are willing to appreciate the honor today, it proves how much you attach importance to the double-sided embroidery embroidered by my wife. Mr. Song would like to thank you all. "

It is said that the embroidery is all embroidered by Sui Youran, which was discussed by Ye Weilan and him in advance.

The expressions of the four shopkeepers were not very good. At that time, the four of them all looked at the handkerchief Ye Weilan took. They were very curious about this kind of double-sided embroidery, but Ye Weilan just showed them the handkerchief. Look, they took it back, so that the few of them had no chance to observe carefully how the double-sided embroidery was embroidered.

However, almost all of them have been in the embroidery business all their lives, and they still have a good eye for embroidery. They can almost be sure at a glance. If this rare double-sided embroidery can be released on the market, it will definitely sell for a good price. .
