Taoyao Order

Chapter 55
In the early morning of the next day, before Taoyao woke up, Wu Yan had already gotten up and prepared breakfast, keeping it in a bowl to prevent it from getting cold.Then, as usual, he prepared face wash for Taoyao.

Taoyao got up to wash up and saw Wu Yan had put on new clothes.

Wu Yan fled to Zi Ling Pavilion with nothing, and she didn't have any clothes to change after she came here. Since she was about the same height as Tao Yao, Tao Yao took out some of her old clothes that she no longer wore. Gave it to her.

Wu Yan usually only wears a plain white dress that has turned yellow after being washed. The dress on the other side is too bright. She is still mourning her grandmother, so she picks up plain clothes and wears them. The second dress of Tao Yao is even old. The clothes I didn't want to wear were all the young lady's clothes, and they didn't look like those worn by a maid.

Today, Wu Yan picked out a clear blue dress. It was still plain, but made her whole body look more energetic. It was prepared for going to Xiu Pavilion with Tao Yao today.

Taoyao looked at her while washing, and said with a smile: "Not bad, it looks pretty good."

But Wu Yan said: "Girl, in two days, I will give the girl money. Can the girl buy me two maid clothes? Your clothes look too different on me."

After Tao Yao finished washing, she was wiping her face with a handkerchief: "You don't need to give me money. You work as a maid for me. I was supposed to buy clothes for you. I was negligent. I will go out when I take a bath next time." Buy it for you."

Wu Yan didn't be too polite to Taoyao, she just thanked Taoyao happily.

There was not much time in the morning, so one person had to eat alone and then another. Tao Yao took her to finish breakfast together. Wu Yan opened the door for the first time and followed Tao Yao to the Xiu Pavilion nearby.

Wu Yan still felt a little uneasy. She used to come to Xiuge to learn embroidery every day, but now she felt like she was in another world, and she felt like things were different and people were different.

Everyone was surprised when they saw Wu Yan who followed Tao Yao in. Several ladies pointed at her and whispered to her.

"How did she come out?"

"Are you finally willing to go out?"

Wu Yan, however, didn't hear anything. She only stared at Taoyao and took a deep breath.

Tao Yao sat down in front of her usual embroidery frame, which still had half of the embroidery she had embroidered the day before, while the maids from each family could only stand aside.Because Master Liu’s embroidery lessons lasted only two-quarters of an hour, and the rest of the time, everyone was allowed to practice on their own. Master Liu came and went to inspect, and if there was anything you didn’t know how to do, you could ask her, but it only took half an hour, and Master Liu would I am not here to accompany you, leaving only the ladies from each family to do the embroidery on their own.

But after counting this day, there are always two or three hours to be spent here, and the maids don't want to stand here like a punishment for a whole day, so unless their own ladies ask for it, the maids of each family are happy to warm themselves by the fire in the wing room. Small talk.

Zheng Qiaoyan's little maid, Hong Lao, always stood beside her to serve her needlework and tea. She was very considerate in serving her.

Tao Yao pointed to a small embroidered pier on the side and said to Wu Yan, "Sit here."

Wu Yan shook her head: "It's okay, girl, I don't have to sit down."

Tao Yao whispered: "Standing here for a day will make my legs hurt."

Wu Yan smiled and whispered to Taoyao: "Then sit down when I get tired."

Tao Yao also smiled when she heard this and said, "Okay."

Just as he was talking, Liu Yunjin came in and looked at Wu Yan standing next to Taoyao. He was surprised for a moment, but he didn't say much. The next moment he looked away and said to the apprentices in the room: "Today, we are going to learn Najin, which is often called poke yarn embroidery. Take off yesterday's cloth from the embroidery stand, and finish the embroidery with the remaining half, then hand it over to me before the end of the month. Replace it with gauze silk." Liu Yunjin ordered, and the ladies below began to remove the cloth.

With Wu Yan taking care of Tao Yao, everything was much easier. Zheng Qiaoyan on the side was just holding a teacup and drinking tea as usual, and all the cloth changing work was done by Hong Lao.

After changing the gauze and silk, Liu Yunjin began to teach the gauze embroidery in detail: "This gauze embroidery, as the name suggests, is to embroider on the silk according to the number of grids.

The patterns of stamped yarn embroidery can have many variations, such as batou pattern and osmanthus pattern.Today I will teach you how to do Bar Dou lines.Start the needle at the first eye at the edge of the pattern, drop the needle across the seven holes, and place the second needle parallel to it.The third and fourth needles and the first and second needles have three holes up and down.The fifth and sixth stitches are in the same pattern as the first and second stitches, and so on.When the pattern becomes narrower, the lines can be shortened according to the needs of the pattern, but the holes between the patterns must be aligned.When embroidering, the embroidery thread should be loosened and the gauze eye should be clear. Do not block the gauze eye. "

Liu Yunjin installed a mesh made of hemp rope on the big embroidery frame in front, and embroidered with a big needle as thick as a thumb while speaking for everyone to look at, and everyone held their breath and learned to memorize it.

After Liu Yunjin finished speaking, he began to ask everyone to count the stitches on the silk yarn, drop the needle, and learn to embroider the batou pattern first. However, this embroidery method is very labor-intensive and laborious. Looking at the tiny yarn stitches, it is hard to Eyes sore from tiredness all the time.

Tao Yao tilted her head and asked Wu Yan: "Why does this picture look a bit weird when I embroider it?"

Wu Yan smiled and stepped forward, bowed and pointed: "There is a missing frame here."

Tao Yao covered her eyes and raised her forehead: "It's really terrible. I won't be blind after learning this."

Wu Yan just smiled without saying much. She stepped forward to help Tao Yao remove the three newly embroidered stitches, re-tread the thread from the wrong place, and embroidered three or four stitches herself: "Look, girl, this is right. ”

Tao Yao smiled and said, "Stop standing, sit down and help me embroider."

Wu Yan is also very skilled. She has just learned it. She also wants to try two stitches, but she doesn't dare. She only says to Taoyao: "Girl, practice for a while. I will help you embroider after Master Liu leaves."

Taoyao smiled at her and lowered her head to continue sewing. Liu Yunjin passed by and glanced at the embroidery under Taoyao's hand, and then at Wu Yan who was standing behind her. It didn't escape her eyes, but just looking at the two of them, there was a loving smile on her face.

After Liu Yunjin left, Taoyao quickly pulled Wu Yan to sit down and started sewing for her. If Wu Yan hadn't looked down carefully to help her, she would have made several wrong stitches and had to embroider a large piece and re-embroider it.

Wu Yan did not refuse, and handed Tao Yao tea for her to drink and rest. She sat on the small embroidery pier beside her, took Tao Yao's needle and thread, and embroidered the patterns on the back for her.

Tao Yao drank tea leisurely and watched, sighing in her heart. This is the day she wants. Wu Yan can help her with her needlework, and she can help with all the heavy needlework that she has not finished in class. If you do it yourself, you can have a lot of time to take a break.

Tao Yao was having wild thoughts when Wu Yan at the side suddenly stopped what she was doing and said to Tao Yao: "Girl, I'm going to the small kitchen to look at the dishes."

"Ah?" Taoyao was startled and looked at the embroidery work that had not yet been completed. "It doesn't matter what you're doing, you can just practice some more."

Wu Yan didn't know what Tao Yao was thinking, so she covered her mouth and laughed: "If the food arrives late, you won't be able to choose good ones. Don't worry, girl. I'll pick out the dishes that girl likes to eat, and I'll come back to help her cook them."

The smile on Tao Yao's lips almost reached her ears, and she couldn't be happier.
