Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 8 The Embroidery Master
On November [-]th, Daiyu got up early to freshen up, and changed into a light yellow embroidered butterfly dress and a light green smoked skirt. Her hair was hung in a bun and fixed with two tourmaline hairpins.The outer cover is an apricot-yellow cape trimmed with ferret fur.The whole person looks delicate and well-behaved.Daiyu looked at the bronze mirror herself and was very satisfied.After a hasty breakfast, he bid farewell to Lin Ruhai and his wife, put on the six-color apprentice ceremony and left.

Because Jia Min was very worried about Daiyu going out by herself, she asked her dowry, Nanny Sun, to go with her. She was waiting to get on the car at the second gate, and Daiyu realized that a group of people followed behind her, she couldn't help but frowned. He frowned, and stopped in displeasure.

"The mighty group of people didn't know that they thought we were going to cause trouble! Go back quickly, do what you should do, don't delay my time." Daiyu's words scared Grandma Sun. Jump: "My girl! I don't like this. How can a girl go out without someone to serve her? If something goes wrong again... the girl should be filial to her wife and think about her, okay?" Grandma Sun Mama said it tactfully, anyway, you must take it with you, and if you don’t take it, it’s not filial. For Jia Min’s sake, I was angry for a while, and now there are so many people who just go out, if I plan to do something in the future... I dare not go down Thinking about it, she looked up at Nanny Sun firmly and said, "Mommy knows that I am here today to learn from my teacher. There must be some servants outside. Now there are only so many people inside us, plus those outside. At Aunt Luo's house, where should I stand? You don't have to squeeze around the door to block the doorway, and if you don't know, don't you think I'm bullying others?" Seeing how relaxed Nanny Sun's face was, he continued: "Why don't you go back to your mother? I only brought sister Jin'er and Zhixuan. Everyone guarded the house with a smile on my face. I will be accompanied by my mother. Is it okay to call a few servants outside?" Grandma Sun saw Dai Yu said that she was going back. Jia Min hesitated for a moment and then ran to the room. Fortunately, the journey was not far away and Nanny Sun came back with Qi Luo: "Madam said, since this is the case, Zhi Xuan will also go back to the room." Just stay at home and let the old slave take Qiluo and Jin'er to accompany the girl, and then take a rough envoy who drives the carriage, and ask the housekeeper Lin to accompany him, and don't ask the maid to follow. ” Daiyu thought that the reduction from the original number of twenty or so people to four or five people is the limit, if it is impossible to be less, she also nodded.

Aunt Luo's family lived on the east side of the city against the city wall. It used to be very clean, but today three carriages ushered in early in the morning. Inside the carriages were all famous embroiderers in Gusu City more than ten years ago: one One is married and has become the proprietress of an embroidery shop; one has inherited her own embroidery workshop with apprentices; the other came here alone, but the car belongs to the governor's family.In short, they are all important people in the embroidery industry in Gusu City.It turned out that Aunt Luo did not learn embroidery in the palace at a young age, but was invited into the palace to serve the late empress dowager because of her fame in embroidery in Gusu.After the Empress Dowager passed away the year before last, Grace left the palace, and returned to her hometown of Gusu last year after traveling for several months.When I came back, I found that my parents had passed away, and my brother and sister-in-law didn't know where to move, so they settled down alone, and later because of the old sisters' contacts with each other.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, a woman in gray came up to meet her.Qi Luo and Jin'er got out of the car first, and as soon as they got on the step stool, Nanny Sun got out. After getting out of the car, she looked around and opened the curtain to hug Daiyu.Seeing that the gray-clothed woman knew that she was from Aunt Luo's family, Daiyu gave Jin'er a look with her eyes, and Jin'er immediately stepped forward and stuffed a purse into the woman's hand, and the woman squeezed it lightly. Seeing a small ring at once, I knew it was a ring or something, so I was very happy to take Daiyu in.

When I came to the main hall, Aunt Luo was already drinking tea with the three women. When she saw Daiyu coming in, she stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at her. Aunt Luo had an obvious smile on her face.Daiyu personally received the six-color apprentice ceremony, walked like a hall, walked to the middle of the hall, raised her hands and knelt down on her knees, and said crisply: "Master, please accept disciple Lin Daiyu's worship." At the end, he put his hands on his forehead and bowed down.Although Aunt Luo didn't cry out, she couldn't hide the smile on her face and said: "Okay, okay, okay." After saying three good things in a row, she said: "Today Mrs. Zhou, Boss Li, and Master Hong will witness you together. Ask me to be your teacher, and I will also say a few words. I know you will not enter this business, and I accept you as an apprentice only to pass on the skills of my predecessors. I hope you will study hard in the future." After finishing speaking, he motioned The little maid next to her stepped forward to help Daiyu up.Daiyu came to Aunt Luo and knelt down again, took the tea from the little maid, passed it to Aunt Luo, and called softly, "Master." Aunt Luo took a sip of the tea and put it down, and put a cup of tea in the tray. The Furong jade bracelet smiled and said: "Well, get up, Yuer. This bracelet was originally given to me by my master back then, and the other one went with her old man. Today I will pass it on to you." Daiyu looked down and saw that the bracelet was crystal clear It is clear, the whole body is pink and tender, and there are some ice flowers, which is very beautiful, and it is worth a lot of money.Then he put it on his wrist carefully, who knew it was too big, when he was in a difficult situation, Aunt Luo smiled and said: "Put it away, this bracelet knows a lot of people, maybe you can still use it in the future." Her eyes were very kind .Daiyu couldn't help it, so she ordered Jin'er to keep it.

Then, under the introduction of Aunt Luo, they met Mrs. Zhou of Daya Embroidery Village, Boss Li of Shiba Embroidery Workshop, and Master Hong who was an embroidery master at the governor's house.The three of them also gave the inside and outside respectively.

At noon, an exquisite banquet was set up in Aunt Luo's flower hall. During the banquet, Daiyu moved Tiaodeng and stood on it to serve Aunt Luo with wine and vegetables. Master Hong was very jealous, and Aunt Luo was even more joyful and loving. .Not long after the meal, Daiyu sent the three of them away on behalf of Aunt Luo before they were able to relax.

Turning back to the back hall, Daiyu saw that Aunt Luo had already sat down on the Kang Kang, so she brought tea to her.Aunt Luo took the tea and saw that the little man was busy with sweat on his forehead and hair, so she pulled Daiyu to sit beside her, and ordered the little maid to fetch water to wash Daiyu.I feel that as long as I teach well, I will have something to rely on for the rest of my life, and I am very satisfied.

After washing up, Daiyu sat down again: "The manor has prepared a courtyard for the master. Will the master return to the mansion with Yu'er today? Or will Yu'er come to pick up the master tomorrow morning? Although the presidency of Guiyuan Temple is tomorrow. Relocation is better, but today only the master will go back with Yu'er, and we will move things again tomorrow morning, so today is not considered a relocation." After a pause, before Aunt Luo could speak, he continued: "I know Master likes to be quiet, Yu'er I chose a yard next to the lotus pond for the master, and the chrysanthemums in the yard were in full bloom at this time. When the spring came, the willow trees on the side of the lotus pond would be able to sprout new buds, which looked very energetic. In summer, the lotus in the pond was also very It's beautiful, although it's a little deserted in winter, and I'll see what the master likes, Yu'er is going to find it." Aunt Luo was surprised to hear her speak clearly, after all, four years old is very different. Easy, even in these years in the palace, I have never seen such a neat and orderly child, and my heart is even more joyful.After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Tomorrow, it's getting late today and the master will clean it up again, so the two wives can send their house. I just bring Xiu'er into the mansion for the master." Daiyu thought Liao wanted to ask: "Can the wives be from the local area? Can Xiu'er's parents make arrangements?" Aunt Luo heard her question, and answered seriously: "The two wives are farmers in the nearby village, but They came to help and let them go to their own homes, but Xiuer was picked up on the way back from the capital for the teacher, and I don't know where my parents are, so I can only follow the teacher." After hearing this, Daiyu nodded. She nodded to express her understanding and continued: "The mansion arranged a big servant girl for the master. It was originally in my mother's room, and later it was given to my younger brother. Although my younger brother is gone, she is loyal. I'm familiar with it. If the master needs anything when he arrives at the mansion, just send her to do it. There are two other little maids who will help Xiu'er. There are also two cleaning women. When the master arrives Let's see if they like it, let them follow the master, and if Yu'er doesn't like it, then help the master choose." Aunt Luo saw that Daiyu's arrangements were very thorough, she was satisfied but also surprised.Even though these words were taught by adults at such a young age, it is not easy to say them so completely and in a coherent manner. Seeing her expression does not seem to be memorized, what a smart child this is!
Before Aunt Luo finished sighing, she saw Daiyu hesitating as if hesitating about something, she couldn't help looking at herself with her eyes, and said with a smile: "What's embarrassing for Yu'er, just tell the teacher That is, if the teacher can help you, the teacher will definitely help you, even if you can't help, I can give you advice, right?" Daiyu thought for a while and whispered that she will worship Huang Jiyun as a teacher next month After talking about the matter, she looked at Aunt Luo with some anxiety, but Aunt Luo smiled after hearing it: "Why do you think it is, this matter has been spread all over the past few days, and the teacher knows it, and Yu'er It would be good to learn more from him, why not be happy as a teacher? Besides, he is not the same as what the teacher taught, so Yu'er doesn't need to think too much." Seeing Daiyu thinking about herself Aunt Luo is even more satisfied with her student.

After returning to the mansion, it was Shen Mo and Daiyu didn't have time to wash up, so she went directly to the upper room to meet Jia Min. She was very curious when she saw Aunt Bai standing at the door. This is the second time I saw her. It is said that she is three years older than Lin Ruhai, but she is only less than forty. She is expected to be well maintained, but doesn't it mean that she basically doesn't leave the yard?Why did you come to the upper room again?And Aunt Liu is also very strange, I have been here for nearly a month, and I haven't seen her yet.Before she had time to think about it, Aunt Bai opened the door curtain and let Daiyu in, her face was expressionless but very peaceful.

Jia Min received the news of Daiyu's return when Daiyu hadn't entered the door, and when she saw Daiyu coming in, she hurriedly pulled her over and looked around, looked up and down and saw that nothing was wrong before she breathed a sigh of relief.She took Daiyu to sit down and asked about today's affairs in detail. Although she knew that Nanny Sun would come back to her later, what Daiyu said personally made her feel more at ease.Daiyu didn't hide anything and told Jia Min about everything, and Jia Min seemed to be really relieved, which made Daiyu very moved.

At dawn the next day, Daiyu led a dozen servant girls and a dozen boys to Aunt Luo's residence.Seeing that old woman came up to greet her yesterday, she called Nanny Sun and gave her the prepared red seal. This was nothing compared to yesterday's small purse, which was exactly 20 taels of silver, so happy that the old woman grinned, showing more respect He welcomed Daiyu in.When I entered the yard, I saw that seven or eight large boxes had been piled up and locked, and Xiu'er was holding a small red sandalwood box with gold flowers in her arms. talking about something.Daiyu walked over to salute, then asked Grandma Sun to present a red seal to the old lady, which was also 20 taels of silver. Aunt Luo didn't say much, she stood up and nodded. Then he took the two bundles on the side and went out.

Daiyu asked people to load the boxes into the car, and then helped Aunt Luo out.She still wanted to help Aunt Luo get into the car, but when Aunt Luo saw that she couldn't get in the car, she thought about helping herself and burst out laughing: "Okay, Yu'er, I know you are filial, and I'm not old yet. I can get on by myself." After speaking, he covered his mouth and smiled, and got into the car by himself, without going in, he stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu who was being held by Nanny Sun.Afterwards, Jin'er got into the car with Xiu'er, and Nanny Sun brought Qi Luo into the car behind her, and the group headed for the mansion in a mighty manner.

Back at the mansion, Daiyu first led Aunt Luo to see Jia Min, and then it was reported that Zhi'er had paid a visit to Aunt Luo, and after a few pleasantries, she went to ask Qiuxing.There is only a row of open and bright open rooms surrounded by walls. On the left and right sides of the courtyard, there is a side room. Behind the side room on the left side of the courtyard, there are two tall and straight ginkgo trees, which look old.There are chrysanthemums planted around the front and back of the house, and now they are blooming just right, and some of them are rare treasures, even in the palace.When I walked in, I found that there were five rooms upside down behind Mingjianer, and it would be cheaper to live in Zhierxiuer in the future.

Seeing that Aunt Luo looked around without saying a word, Daiyu asked softly, "Is the master still satisfied? If there is anything that needs to be modified, just tell Yu'er." Aunt Luo nodded and smiled, "That's good enough, Let's go into the house and have a look." Aunt Luo was taken aback when she walked into the main room, and on the wall of the main hall was actually the "Assorted Picture of Ronghua" embroidered by herself before entering the palace. The flowers and leaves made Aunt Luo seem to have returned to the past, and she felt very emotional. Daiyu obviously didn't know this. Seeing Aunt Luo's face was a little dazed, she asked, "Master, you don't like this embroidery? Yu'er likes people." Just replace it." After finishing speaking, he ordered Jin'er to call someone to come in and take it down, but Aunt Luo just came back to her senses and hurriedly stopped her: "This is the embroidery I made when I was young, I was very proud of it at the beginning, goodbye now I can't help but feel emotional, Yu'er thanked my wife on behalf of my teacher, she has taken care of you." Daiyu suddenly realized when she heard this, looked at the embroidery on the wall and looked at Aunt Luo, and she was very happy in her heart.

There are no couplets on both sides of the embroidery, only a pair of white-bodied green-glazed jars are placed on the lower case.There is an enamel incense burner on the Eight Immortals table below. There are not many things, but they are very careful. There is enough space for Aunt Luo to arrange according to her own preferences. There is no retreat in the main room. A row of bright windows, a tall flower stand on the east corner, a pot of Tang Yu Huaiyu, a rare treasure, and a chaise longue under the flower stand, which is very relaxing and comfortable.There is a carved moon door on the north side, with an embroidered Baifu brocade curtain hanging on the door, and the inside of the door is not complicated when the curtain is opened. There are two cabinets, a makeup table, and a Babu bed. , it can be seen that it is an old thing.

Seeing that Aunt Luo was not dissatisfied, Daiyu asked Zhi'er to take care of her, so she took her leave and left. After returning to the yard to freshen up, Qiluo came to spread the word that Jia Min had bought a table for Aunt Luo, so she went again Hurrying to Wenqiuyuan, halfway through the journey, I saw Mu Mian Zhi'er leading Aunt Luo over, and hurried forward to greet and meet each other.Aunt Luo was more and more satisfied when she saw that Daiyu was respectful to her.

A group of people came to the main hall and Jia Min was already waiting. He exchanged polite greetings with Aunt Luo and walked into the flower hall. Naturally, the dishes were delicious and exquisite. Aunt Luo didn't let Daiyu wait on her side and took her to sit with her. The three of them had a great time eating together.

Although Daiyu's inner core has been changed, this body is young and weak after all, after two days of busy work, it is a bit overwhelming. When Aunt Luo and Jia Min were chatting in the main hall, they kept nodding and dozing off. Jia Min Aunt Bingluo was very distressed, so she hurriedly sent Daiyu back to take a nap.

As soon as Fang woke up and everything was silent, Daiyu turned around and before she could speak, she saw Hanxiao raised the curtain and poked her head in.Seeing that Daiyu was awake, she turned around and poured warm water, and Daiyu drank a couple of sips with her smiling hands, feeling her throat much more comfortable, before she asked, "What time is it?"

"It's past the beginning of Hai, is the girl hungry?" Without waiting for Daiyu to answer, she said again: "Warm the porridge for the girl, it's too late to eat too much, and I'm afraid of food accumulation."

Originally, I didn't think that I didn't say anything, but Daiyu felt a little hungry when she asked such a question with a smile, so she nodded in response.Smiling, he called Lily of the Valley again, and Shinan came in to wait for the girl to wash up, and then went to get the porridge.

A bowl of chicken congee with four dishes of side dishes was quickly brought in, and Lian Jin'er followed. Seeing that there were many people in the room, Daiyu sent Lily of the Valley and Shinan to rest before sitting down to drink the porridge.After drinking the porridge, Daiyu was no longer sleepy, so she thought about sending the two of them to rest as well, so that she could manage her thoughts if she had nothing else to do. Recently, there were a lot of things, and she hadn't thought about what to do next.

Unexpectedly, she smiled and said: "The girls are busy these two days, but the slaves have been lazy, and they are not sleepy. Even though sister Jin'er has worked hard, she probably won't be able to fall asleep when she wakes up. Why don't the slaves accompany the girl to talk?" Take a rest when you're tired." These words probably suit Jin'er's mind, and Jin'er also nodded in agreement, so Daiyu didn't say any more.

The three of them sat down at the small round table, and Jin'er thought for a while and asked: "Then Aunt Luo is just a embroiderer, and it doesn't matter if the girl doesn't need to make a living on it in the future, or if she doesn't, but the servant girl sees that the girl is right. She values ​​it very much, I don't know why?" After getting along with Yueyu, those close to her knew that Daiyu had an idea and was easy to talk about, so they asked directly instead of guessing casually.

Of course Daiyu valued Aunt Luo, but this was the first "accident" that happened to her. A character that was never mentioned in Cao Gong's works might be an opportunity for Daiyu to change her destiny. How could she not value it?Furthermore, Daiyu's favorite in her previous life was traditional Chinese clothing, and she was quite keen on embroidery. When she met such a master, how could she not value it?But I couldn't say that, so I thought for a while and said, "Master looks like he's only in his 30s, but he's able to escape from the palace, which shows that he's not a simple person. She has no children. If I treat her sincerely, she will be better She is for me wholeheartedly. Besides, the master looks deserted but is a gentle person, and I like her very much." Daiyu knew that she could not go on talking after clicking here, so she changed the subject again: "Master promised me that I can Bring two people to study together, and tell me who will go with me. I think two people in our yard will learn embroidery with me, and I will specialize in this area in the future, and I will wait for Master Huang in the future. After the class starts, two more will follow me, these four are chosen by you to discuss on your own, and I will make plans as soon as possible.”

Jin'er thought for a while and said: "Since the girl is interested in cultivating, why don't I come back to the girl tomorrow after I ask the big guys. But when it comes to embroidery, no one in our yard can compare with Xiaoxiao." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Hanxiao, Hanxiao seemed to be thinking too, and after a while he raised his head to find that Daiyu was staring at her intently, and said, "I wish I could learn from Aunt Luo, but...or this servant is greedy. , if you can follow the girl to learn a few big characters and not be a blind person." After speaking, she looked at Daiyu very anxiously, and when she saw that Daiyu didn't answer for a while, she lowered her head and looked at the table.Seeing her expression like this, Daiyu knew she was thinking too much and hurriedly said: "What expression do you have? Is it possible that you want to make progress and I stop you?" After speaking, she saw that her cheeks were glowing with a smile, which was very funny, and then He said again: "Why don't you and Zhixuan both follow me. Sister Jin'er is also with us. The four of us are classmates. We count as much as we learn. When we come back, we will check for each other's gaps. Look at the little girl below. It’s alright, it’s all right for you to teach me again, wouldn’t it be good to review it as your own strength?” The two looked up at Daiyu in surprise when they heard what Daiyu said, their eyes were full of surprise and apprehension: "Is this okay? Gentlemen won't have any opinions?" Daiyu thought for a while and said: "Master should not have any opinions. After all, they are all people around me. If you work hard yourself, Master will see. As for Master Huang Over there," Daiyu thought for a while and continued uncertainly, "We'll see the situation at that time, anyway, I need people around me."

After chatting and gossiping for a while, Daiyu felt a little sleepy, and lay down again, and fell asleep breathing steadily after a while.

Jin'er smiled and retreated quietly to the outside room. She was very excited about Daiyu's decision, but she could only hold back.In the blink of an eye, there was finally a glimmer of light in the sky, and Jin'er gathered all the maids in Daiyu's room into the courtyard. Only then did she realize that since Mother Wang was kicked out, Jia Min had forgotten to give Daiyu's room a second time. Add a nanny here, and now if Daiyu really wants to take Zhixuan to school with a smile and accompany Daiyu to school, then who will take care of this yard?The oldest is less than eight years old.For a moment Jin'er felt hesitant and depressed, looked at Hanxiao and Zhixuan, and was about to tell Hanxiao and Zhixuan to go to school with Daiyu, when Daiyu's voice came from the room.She had no choice but to stop, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch water and was busy washing Daiyu. After a busy meal, Daiyu came to the outside room and looked at the people in her yard for the first time.

I saw Jin'er leading the two second-class maids Zhixuan with a smile, followed by two smaller Shinan Linglan, the remaining three negligible little girls, and two women who cleaned outside, and they were also very speechless. .After thinking about it, he screened off the two sweeping women, and called the remaining seven big and small into the hall. It was still very cold outside, so he sat down and drank a bowl of tea before he said, "Let's not talk about what will happen in the future, since everyone You are people in my room, and I didn't treat you as outsiders, but I regarded you as sisters." He paused here and looked at the expressions of everyone.Jin'er's expression is very calm, but the joy in her eyes cannot be hidden, and Zhixuan's smiling eyes are full of joy and gratitude.These are not what Daiyu expected, but Jichun’s eyes are full of gratitude, which makes Daiyu somewhat gratified, and the rest of the people are all ignorant, which makes Daiyu somewhat discouraged, they are too young, and still ignorant Woolen cloth.Without explaining, she went straight to the topic and said: "Nowadays there are few people in our courtyard, sister Jin'er will naturally follow me, and the rest Zhixuan, Hanxiao, Linglan, and Shinan will take turns to follow me to learn from Master Luo. Embroidery, just one point, you should teach the other sisters what you have learned the next day when you come back from learning. Don’t keep it private. Sister Jin’er will check at any time. If you don’t understand, you can ask Sister Jin’er or me. Keep it People in the yard must guard the yard well, and you must not neglect it." After speaking, Daiyu saw Jin'er Zhixuan and the others were all surprised, only her smile showed this faint look of disappointment, Daiyu Yu then understood that if you don't give hope, you won't be disappointed. Last night, you gave Hanxiao hope, but now that something has changed, you may be somewhat disappointed, but you don't point it out, and said: "For now, this is the arrangement for the time being, and we will do it in the future." No one knows what changes will happen after the apprentice ceremony, and I can't say for sure now, but one thing, I will definitely learn by category in the future, and I will find a way to arrange for you to learn the skills you are good at .” After speaking, without waiting for their reaction, he waved his hand to let everyone back down.She went into the house again, wrapped her cloak, carried Mrs. Tang in her arms, and went to the main courtyard to pay her respects. Today was the first time she went to school, so Daiyu was still very solemn.

When he came to the main courtyard and saw that Lin Ruhai was about to go out, he squatted down and bowed, and then stepped forward to hold Lin Ruhai's hand. Seeing that it was very warm, he said: "It's getting colder today, Daddy should try to keep warm. It won’t be noticeable when you come out of the house, but if the wind blows outside for a while, the heat on your body will be blown away.” After speaking, he ordered Jin’er to find a hand warmer.Seeing Daiyu caring about him like a little adult, Lin Ruhai felt very hot in his heart, so he let her go.After a while, Kapok rushed out holding the hand warmer, and said with a smile: "It's still the girl who is careful and considerate."

Daiyu took the hand warmer and handed it to Lin Ruhai, and looked it over carefully. Seeing that Lin Ruhai was wearing thick clothes, she raised her head and said, "It's cold, Daddy will come back early. Be careful on the road." Then she took a step back to let the road go. .Seeing Daiyu's behavior, Lin Ruhai finally couldn't hold back and laughed: "Yu'er, hurry up and go in, isn't it cold? Your mother is waiting for you. I'm going to school today. I don't like being naughty." After stroking Daiyu's head, she turned and left.

Daiyu actually doesn't like people rubbing her head, but the warmth from Lin Ruhai's palm makes her very attached.

When he entered the main hall, he saw that Jia Min was already waiting, and he dragged her to ask her how she was, before letting her go to Qiuyuan.

When it was time to ask Qiuyuan, Aunt Luo had already had breakfast and was waiting for her. Seeing her little person running over sweaty, her eyes couldn't stop smiling.After seeing the ceremony, she hurriedly pulled her over, and asked Zhi'er to fetch water for Daiyu to freshen up. After a long time, she took Daiyu to the west hall. Originally, the west hall was specially prepared for class, so inside The place is clean and bright, with only a few embroidery frames and some framed or framed embroidery, or unframed embroidery. Obviously, Aunt Luo is a very experienced teacher. After distinguishing them one by one, they took out all kinds of embroideries and explained them to Daiyu in detail. After doing this, it was already noon, and Daiyu was left to eat together. Jia Min is a theorist, and Aunt Luo also nodded in agreement.

On the second day, Aunt Luo began to teach Daiyu the needling technique, on the third day she began to learn basic flat stitching, and on the fourth day...

In this way, Daiyu learns home management from Jia Min every morning, learns embroidery from Aunt Luo in the afternoon, takes a walk with Jia Min in the evening, or occasionally chats and strolls in the garden with the family of three. Her life is very fulfilling and brisk.
