Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 261

After two days, Jiang Xiaolian was feeling uneasy all the time, and wanted to talk to Xia Junyan, but Xia Junyan went out every day at dawn and came back at dusk.After returning to the shop, he entered the room to take a shower and change clothes, and after a quick meal, he buried his head in the study.If it wasn't for a woman, Jiang Xiaolian would have wondered if their shopkeeper was going to be a scholar.

Seeing that Xia Junyan didn't eat much for dinner, Jiang Xiaolian went to the kitchen to make some snacks, filled a bowl of sweet mung bean soup, and then knocked on the door of the study.

Xia Junyan paused for a moment with the charcoal pencil in her hand, seeing Jiang Xiaolian looking at her with the eyes of a pitiful little animal, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you being bullied by Qian Gui again with such a pitiful appearance?"

Jiang Xiaolian arranged the things, and said nervously: "I saw that the shopkeeper didn't use much in the past two nights. These dim sums are easy to digest, and they go well with mung bean soup."

After all, she is only a 16-year-old girl, no matter how courageous she is, she always expresses what she thinks on her face, how could Xia Junyan not see Jiang Xiaolian's little thoughts, she just didn't take it to heart.Looking at Jiang Xiaolian according to Xia Junyan, she was too careful. She just said that Guilan female celebrity is good. If the shopkeeper is interested, can she also bring Guilan out of the village? will feel something.This is just human nature.When people live in this world, there are always favorable winds and adverse winds. You can help others as soon as you can, and it doesn't take much effort to accumulate popularity for yourself.

Xia Junyan pointed to the stool next to the bookcase behind her: "Take it and sit down, I need your help with something."

Jiang Xiaolian hurriedly sat aside, her back straight.I saw Xia Junyan put a piece of white paper and a sharpened charcoal pencil in front of her.After countless experiments by Xia Junyan, she finally sharpened the charcoal pencil to be similar to that of later generations, and made a pen cover with linen cloth to prevent her hands from getting dirty.

"Look here are some patterns that I have already drawn." Xia Junyan took a few more sheets of paper and put them in front of Jiang Xiaolian, "These patterns are all to be embroidered on handkerchiefs, but I am not familiar with female celebrities. I don't know how to combine these patterns so that it looks best on the handkerchief. I have been walking around the cloth shops in the town for the past few days, and I picked up some rags and came back." Said, pretending again. The half-basket full of floral cloth heads was also placed on the table, "You pick patterns from the inside, pick out all the patterns that can be embroidered on a handkerchief, and then draw them on paper."

Jiang Xiaolian looked at the already drawn paper in Xia Junyan's hand. The patterns on it were very simple, and they were just arranged in a good position.I flipped through a few more and found that they were all like this. "What the shopkeeper means is that you don't need to draw all the patterns, just draw a rough outline and mark which part of the handkerchief to embroider on?"

"Yes." Xia Junyan nodded, and took out a few finished handkerchiefs from the desk drawer, "In the past, handkerchiefs were embroidered with a complete pattern. We have seen too much. If we want people to remember our handkerchiefs at a glance, we have to think of some new patterns." Xia Junyan said, "Don't use a whole pattern, let's embroider it separately. Although the patterns are separated, But the whole can’t be messy. So you have to draw on the paper first, and there’s still time to change it after you think it’s not good-looking.” Xia Junyan tried to explain the three words “design sense” to Jiang Xiaolian, and picked up the side Take a sip of mung bean soup to quench your thirst, "You can draw it yourself first, and you can draw whatever you think looks good."
