Chapter 53 The first show of skill
"Oh?" Lu Shi was startled for a moment, and then smiled comprehensibly: "You mean the face cream? Alright! I can really help you with this."

"What face cream?" Meng Shaoqing heard the unfamiliar words, and hurriedly asked.

"It's the skin care cream that your sister, Ayun, said is better than camellia oil. I haven't tried it. I'll see if I get up tomorrow. Girl Yun gave me two boxes, and I'll get one for you later. Box, try it too."

"Well, Sister Ayun really knows everything." Meng Shaoqing propped her arms on the table enviously and held her face, looked at Yun Xuemei who was almost transparent, and asked curiously: " Aunt Yun, are you from Yizhou? Does the accent in Yizhou sound like Mandarin?"

She didn't know the pronunciation of Yizhou dialect, but Yun Xuemei had always spoken a very pure Heluoya accent, coupled with Yun Xuemei's uncommon demeanor, she always thought that Qiao Yun's mother must be from Those who come from Chang'an or Luoyang, no matter how bad they are, are from Taiyuan Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, it was Yizhou!
Although she hasn't read many books, she also knows that Yizhou is thousands of miles away in Bashu!

"It's just that my family has been speaking Mandarin since I was a child." Yun Xuemei smiled lightly and didn't reveal much.

Meng Shaoqing had a strong thirst for knowledge, so she asked: "What is Yizhou like? Is it really as difficult as Li Taibai's poem said?"

Yun Xuemei tilted her head and thought for a while before answering: "If you take the land route, that's true. But the water route is not the case. Except for the Xiling Gorge which is more dangerous, the rest of the Yangtze River is unimpeded."

"Dangerous? Waterway insurance refers to the rapid flow of water. Doesn't it mean that it is easy to go out from Bashu and difficult to get in?"

"Not bad." Yun Xuemei was very surprised to see this girl think so.So he pointed out, "If you are interested in hydrogeography, you can read "Shui Jing Zhu"."

Meng Shaoqing blinked.

Shui Jingzhu, she remembered that this seemed to be the book that brother brother had to memorize in geography class when he was studying, so she would ask brother to borrow some books to look after.

Seeing this, Lu couldn't help but said: "It's a good thing if you can calm down and read. Don't make trouble with your elder brother all day long, disturbing his study."

"Hmph." Meng Shaoqing pouted her lips, "It's not that he won't take me to play even with Xiu Mu..."

Qiao Yun cheerfully listened to the two cute ones, one big and one small, singing in her ears, while her eyes fixed on the snacks on the short table.

At first, she thought about whether these snacks would go the same way as Mrs. Lu's face cream, and asked her to help recommend them to those gentry ladies, but now she suddenly didn't intend to do so.

It is true that with Mrs. Lu, a respectable female family member in Quwo County, the gentry dare not disobey her words.And if she only provided lists from these families, she would be much more relaxed.

But after she declined the embroidery job just now, she suddenly thought that if embroidery is the same, shouldn't dim sum be the same?
If you want to make money, you have to follow the people's line!

But how to do it will have to be carefully planned.

After lunch, the county magistrate's wife was a little tired and wanted to take a rest.Meng Shaoqing took Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei back to her Shaofang Garden.

In ancient times, when you were not busy, it was indeed quite idle.

Qiao Yun has nothing to do, and wants to go to the kitchen to finalize the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner, but Meng Shaoqing wants to pull Qiao Yun to do needlework together: "My dear sister, your embroidery skills are so good, can you embroider a fan for me?" ah?"

Qiao Yun originally wanted to decline, but felt that if she refused at this time and did not prove herself, the origin of the peacock flying southeast fan might be suspicious in the eyes of the county magistrate's wife.

"Ok."

Qiao Yun sighed and had no choice but to lean on her, and they sat cross-legged on the bed together.Meng Shaoqing hurriedly called the maid to bring embroidery thread, and asked the maid to divide the threads.

"The traditional patterns in Shu embroidery are not quite the same as those in Suzhou embroidery, but there are similarities, so let's use this." Qiao Yun flipped through the patterns handed over by the maid, most of them were ladies, landscapes, flowers and birds and the like.

It would be too troublesome to draw the flower shape now, so Qiao Yun reluctantly chose a pair of peony flowers.These patterns were drawn by the maid on the silk in advance.

"There are many stitches in Shu Embroidery. Now I only embroider this side of the fan. It's boring to spend too much time. Let me use the most basic stitches for you!"

Meng Shaoqing nodded repeatedly.

After Qiao Yun threaded a green silk thread, she began to embroider leaves.

After only a few stitches, Meng Shaoqing exclaimed, "Why did you start stitching from the inside?"

Just as Qiao Yun was about to lose consciousness, there was such a sound in her ear that she almost knocked the needle out of the way.

She raised her head and said angrily: "Shu embroidery is like this, why are you so careless? The embroidery almost broke!"

Meng Shaoqing realized that she was reckless, and quickly covered her mouth: "I won't say anything, you continue to embroider~"

Qiao Yun then lowered her head and began to embroider seriously.

A layer of snow had fallen on the ground outside, and the vast expanse of white was covered with white, making the room very bright without having to light candles.

Unlike Miss Qianjin, who embroidered purely to pass the time, when she first learned Shu embroidery, she had to take an exam in class!Therefore, efficiency is also extremely important, not to mention that she was an excellent problem solver in the Shu embroidery class at the time, and she was extremely fast in terms of speed, so that the students of several classes at that time lived in her shadow.

Qiao Yun's needles fly up, laying the needles diagonally to create the base color, the needles to smudge the color, the smudged needles to add light and shadow, and the rolling needles to outline and trace the leaf veins...

It is dazzling, the key is that there is no error at all, even changing the color is very fast.The maids do things like changing the color of the needles for Miss Huan's embroidery, but Qiao Yun's speed of doing it by herself is faster than that of the maids, and the extremely thin silk thread easily passes through the eye of the needle with a twist in her hand. I admire very much.

Meng Shaoqing was stunned, not even daring to breathe.The maid who was helping to stretch the silk thread looked straight at her.

Not to mention these two, Yun Xuemei couldn't help holding her breath.

For a while, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, only the rustling of snowflakes outside the window and the crackling of the charcoal fire in the stove inside the house.

"All right!"

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yun finished the last injection and finished it with satisfaction.Remove the silk from the embroidery frame.

"Is that all right?" Meng Shaoqing looked out the window in shock.

A Niang usually only sleeps for half an hour in the afternoon nap, and A Niang has not woken up yet, so she has finished embroidery now?
"Yes. Here, take it down and make a fan." Qiao Yun handed the peony flower to Meng Shaoqing, rubbed her sore shoulders, and then stretched.It's been a long time since I bowed my head for such a long time, I'm not used to it.

While stretching, she took a look inside her game backpack - the backpack interface has the system time.Qiao Yun took a closer look and found that an hour had passed.

It seems to be really raw!Such a pair of palm-sized peonies took an hour to embroider, which was far less efficient than when she took the graduation exam in the Sichuan embroidery class.

Alas, it seems that this farm girl's body is still not going well.

Meng Shaoqing took this picture of peonies in a daze, and after looking at it for a long time, Fang recovered from the shock and was ecstatic, so he went around behind Qiao Yun to beat her shoulders in person, and said with a flattering smile: "Ah Sister Yun, good sister! You are my real sister!"

"When did your mother come out with a daughter as big as me?" Qiao Yun thought it was quite funny.

Meng Shaoqing held the silk silk as if she had found a treasure: "I'll show it to my mother!"

As he said that, he jumped off the bed and ran out...
