73. It's not a family that doesn't enter a house
After lunch, the third girl took the needle and thread and went to He Zijin's house to talk. The third girl asked He Zijin what the origin of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" was. The third girl said, "It's useless to know such a name. If I knew more about these seven gods, I would have said a few more words when I saw Aunt Li."
He Zijin told the third girl, "The gods are grandmothers who worship Buddha too much, so don't believe me." He told the third girl the allusion of "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest".
The third girl said, "In the past, I always felt that studying was not as good as learning craftsmanship, but now I know that I have a shortcoming."
He Zijin smiled, "My cousin has been devoted to needlework in the past two years, and is not very attractive to anything else. If you want to learn, although I haven't read a few books, I can just read anything I know, how about it?"
The third girl smiled, "I was just about to talk to my sister."
"I couldn't imagine that my cousin said it directly. I thought that there was no need for my cousin to speak." He Zijin had no hidden temper. He took her to study. Anyone who could benefit her brothers and sisters in the family would not hide her privately.
The third girl sighed, "It's our family." She asked again, "I have to do needlework during the day, and my sister has to go to school, so when will it be convenient?"
He Zijin said, "My cousin is doing needlework when the sun is good. When I get off school in the afternoon, it will be dark. Don't do it, otherwise it will be a lifelong thing to hurt your eyes. A Nian and A Lie are getting older now. Anyway, these things in history are just like listening to stories. Asking them to listen together will be beneficial to their studies in the future, it will be beneficial to them."
The third girl smiled, "Yes, can you teach me how many words you have to recognize?"
"Then we have to start with the Thousand Character Literature. These are the most basic characters, which are easy to remember." He Zijin said.
"I don't understand the study, I listen to my sister."
After the two talked for a while, the third girl took out a needle and thread to make it. He Zijin looked at the blooming peony and couldn't help but praise, "My cousin's work is already very bright."
The third girl laughed, "If this job is enough for her own home, it would be a little worse if she uses this to earn money."
"Don't be too anxious, cousin. Many people have been old embroidery girls for more than ten or twenty years. It's normal that they can't compare to others for a while." He Zijin knew that the third girl was very strong, so he comforted her.
The third girl laughed, "How dare you compete with those old embroidery workers? Not to mention far away, Sister Aqi from Aunt Wu's family in Dongtou is the same year as me, only two months older than me, and the embroidery is better than me. Last month, she earned one or two or five cents of silver."
The fifth aunt in Dongtou is also of the same clan. He Qi was a few years older and didn't have much contact with He Zijin. But He Qi's younger brother He Cang and He Zijin recognized He Cang. He Cang and He Luo were classmates. Before He Luo started school, He Zijin often went to attend classes and recognized He Cang. Later, He Zijin changed to study at the Chen family and invited friends from the preschool class to have dinner. Everyone came, but He Cang did not come. That guy was a Taoist scholar, saying that when he was old, there was something different about men and women. The conscience of heaven and earth, He Zijin was only five years old that year... Anyway, since then, He Zijin and He Cang have never met much, and they didn't know that He Cang's sister had such good needlework.
He Zijin looked at the third girl flying needle and said, "I really don't believe there is anyone who does better than the third sister."
The third girl laughed, "So there are people outside of people."
"Acang is a Taoist guy, I don't know that his sister is so powerful."
"Not only is the needlework good, but Sister Aqi really worked hard. I heard that she often does it until the third day. Aunt Li likes her very much. This time I want to see the embroidery pictures of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. I didn't see it, but later I saw Sister Aqi coming out of the house where Aunt Li collected embroidery pieces. I thought she saw it." The third girl felt a little sad. She asked herself that she was not stupider than He Qi, and her hands and feet were not slow, but there was one thing. She was not as hard as He Qi. He Zijin often advised her not to do needlework in places with poor lighting, and she also planted wolfberry in the yard for her to drink. She was afraid that her eyes would be bad, so she never did needlework at night. But now that she was compared, the third girl's competitive heart became again.
He Zijin advised her, "I am young now, why bother so hard. I heard that many embroiderers will not be able to do their eyes until they are over thirty or forty years old, but because they are too tired of their eyes. If they are too excited, they will suffer in the future. Why not do it slowly and protect their eyes? Then those who do not pay attention to maintaining their eyes will be no longer possible. My sister can still fly needles and thread them. The way is to flow slowly."
The third girl seemed to be very difficult to relieve herself. He Zijin claimed to be a little expert in education and was still very good at fooling people. She said, "I went to my aunt's house to study. Mr. Xue often told us, what is the difference between craftsmen and masters? It is not about whether we are hardworking, but also about whether we know how to think. Every day, we are always tired of needlework and tired of hands. There is no time to think. I am far inferior to my cousin in embroidery, but if you draw, you draw a flower.
If you only draw according to other people's paintings, it is difficult to surpass the imitation of this painting. If you want to truly draw this flower, you have to think more and see how the flower blooms and how it fades. What it looks like when it blooms and what it looks like when it fades. Only by seeing these things in your heart can you draw a flower well. I think, the same thing is the same. If my sister really wants to be a person like Xue, the effort she puts in more than just hard work."
He Zijin just fooled her, but the third girl was moved and said, "Miss Li often said that I have talent in flowers. Is it because I often pack flowers with my sister? When I see flowers and plants, I don't have to think about how to embroider. But if there are insects, fish, birds and beasts, it will not be possible. People like the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, I dare not even think about it."
He Zijin immediately said, "It must be the reason. Sister, if you ask you to embroider a flower, even if you have a flower shape, you will know what this peony looks like in your mind. But if you ask you to embroider a tiger, I'm afraid you can only look at the tiger in the flower shape. The flower shape is like this. Can it be better than the flower shape? You have never seen a tiger before, which is too difficult."
The third girl nodded, "That's the reason."
He Zijin advised her, "There is another thing. In this world, no one is omnipotent. He is good at flowers, characters, and even more good at flowers, plants, insects and fish. Such a genius is in no place. If your sister wants to make a name for herself, it is easier to achieve results. If you are good at flowers and plants, you will only focus on flowers and plants and embroider flowers and plants. Aunt Li has embroidery work on flowers and plants. The first thing she thinks of is sister. You are far better than others in this, and Aunt Li will definitely treat her sister differently at that time."
The third girl said, "It is strange that many people want to study, but those who don't study cannot become officials. It turns out that those who have studied are indeed smarter than those who don't study."
He Zijin smiled, "Sister must have thought of it a long time ago. It's mostly flowers and plants that you have."
"In the past, it was mostly flowers and plants. Now Xue's embroidery picture of the seven sages of the bamboo forest was sold for 100 taels, and I was also attracted by the characters." The third girl was thinking quickly and said, "Sister, do you say Aunt Li asked Sister Aqi to see the seven sages of the bamboo forest, do you want Sister Aqi to learn to embroider the characters?"
He Zijin didn't expect this and said, "Maybe it's right. It's impossible for her to ask her to see it for nothing anyway."
The third girl smiled slightly, "Then I will tell Aunt Li from now on that I will pay more attention to the work of flowers and plants."
The third girl popularized some common sense about embroidery work for He Zijin, saying, "Actually, flowers and plants are the most common when we embroider things. The second common one is birds, insects, butterflies, and fish. The third is landscape characters, which are mostly used on large items, or a whole embroidery picture, or used to inlaid screens. Moreover, flowers, plants, insects, fish are the most used in clothes, shoes and socks, and there are many embroidery workers who are good at this type of embroidery. I am not afraid, I feel that it is no worse than others. Now if Sister Aqi is led by Aunt Li to embroider the characters, she will definitely go to large items in the future, like Xue. We are the same age,
She is only two months older than me. Among the people we are about the same age, I am the only one. She embroidered characters. If I also embroidered characters, one is Aunt Li didn't ask me to see the pictures of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest that day. I don't have to compete with Sister Aqi. However, flowers, one is I good at this, and the other is, without Sister Aqi, I will be the first one. I am not as embroidered as those old embroiders now, and I will not be worse than them in a few years. Just as my sister said, if I have a sharp tip on this, Aunt Li will come and give me some advice."
The third girl's eyes were soft and bright. After saying this, she first made herself happy and patted He Zijin on the shoulder with a smile, "One person is short, two are the best. If you have something to do, you still have to come up with it and say it. Not only is she happy, she can also have a good idea."
She discussed with He Zijin again, "Miss Li is Laba's birthday, and my sister said, "What should I give me some?"
He Zijin smiled, "I don't believe my sister has no idea. You have already thought about it, so you must have embroidered something."
The third girl laughed and said, "My sister is my one, Zhi, Zhiyin."
At one moment, the third girl reminded He Zijin, "My sister goes to the Chen family, but she has to study hard. Now we know that this knowledge is the most valuable." The third girl asked herself that a series of words like He Zijin is not good, and He Zijin is still several years younger than her. Therefore, the third girl attributes all He Zijin's intelligence to studying. Now that He Zijin has such an opportunity, the third girl will naturally encourage her. Moreover, the third girl thinks that with the knowledge of her cousin, He Zijin will also come to Aunt Li's embroidery workshop to do needlework in the future, and he must be a first-class person in Xue Qianzhen.
In fact, although He Zijin's needlework is far less than that of the third girl, she is now, and she is really good now than she could only sew buttons in her previous life. At least, she is like a simple saury, a forehead smear, a veil, etc., and she can also embroider a few small flowers. Even if she changes clothes occasionally, she can change them with Shen's guidance.
Why is it said to be changing clothes, not making clothes? Because it is really unusual to make clothes these days. In the past, when He Zijin was a child, he could have a new dress in one season, so Mrs. He yelled everywhere that Shen was just going to live. Now that He Lie is here again, He Zijin's personal treatment has indeed declined. So, most of her clothes are worn by her when she was a child. For example, the third girl wore them. Now that the third girl has grown taller, He Zijin continues to wear them. If there is something wrong, it needs to be changed. Therefore, changing clothes is also a craft.
Moreover, He Zijin discovered that since Xue Qianzhen sold 100 taels of silver for one embroidery picture, her mother has also stepped up her needlework training. He Zijin asked her mother, "Mom, do you want me to sell 100 taels of silver for one embroidery picture in the future?"
Shen said, "Who doesn't want it? Master Xue's embroidery pictures are sold at a high price. How many people are willing to send their daughter to Master Xue for free, just to give her some advice. I think, but you don't look like that piece of material. Oh, you see your cousin's work, your hands are so neat, you are a big procrastination. As early as half a year when you were doing your two socks, I saw that you were afraid you would be unable to make a name for yourself."
He Zijin: Her mother is still more rational than her milk.
I heard her mother continue, "If you are slow, you have to practice more. Your cousin started to learn needlework at the age of nine, and now you can earn at least 700 or 800 yuan a month, which is amazing. You are seven years old and you are starting to practice. The stupid bird flies first. By the age of your cousin, you can still have 70% or 80% of her ability. In the future, if you don't want to sell an embroidery picture for 100 taels, I'm happy if you can sell twenty taels."
He Zijin: It turns out that the whole family doesn’t come in. Her mother and her mother turned out to be a good guy~
He Zijin actually likes to make needlework, sew a small schoolbag, a small scent bag, or some shoes and socks. She makes it slower, but the powder is fine, like the forehead she made for Mrs. He, and the rabbit she made, and the mother He wears it all day long; like the shoes she made for her father, she can't put on the shoe soles on her soles, but the green bamboo leaves on the upper were embroidered by her, and her father praised it too; there was also the small bellyband she used for He Lie to sleep, because He Lie liked to sleep naked, He Zijin was worried that her brother's stomach would catch a cold, so she did it fine, and the embroidered on it was the appearance of the little horse He Lie liked; and it was also cold, and He Nian wanted to go to school with her, and she made a cotton hat and glove for He Nian... and the handkerchief He Zijin made for her mother... In short, He Zijin is also a small needlework lover.
Indeed, it’s not that the family doesn’t come in. Not to mention that her mother and her breasts are always admiring and yearning for Xue Qianzhen’s ability. He Zijin is also very admiring. Others traveling through time, God seems to have amnesia when they come to her. He Zijin can’t wait for the golden fingers or the domineering side of the body, but in this era, one must have a skill in hand to live a life. If he can really achieve some results in embroidery, it will not help him to subsidize his family’s income in the future.
I have to say that people in Bishui County are very moved by a picture of Master Xue Qianzhen’s embroidery. This includes the legendary beautiful girl He Zijin, who has lived for two lifetimes~
Within a few days, the third girl brought back a heart-warming good news, "There are too many people who want to worship Master Xue as their master. Master Xue said that he is old and wants to accept one or two closed disciples. If anyone wants to go, he will sign up at the embroidery workshop first, Master Xue feels that his qualifications are OK, and he will be included in the door wall."
The third girl had forgotten all her heart that she had to study hard on the flowers and plants at the beginning. She looked at He Zijin with her eyes shining, and her face was full of joy, "Sister Zijin, this opportunity is so rare, let's try it!"
Old lady He slapped her thigh, "Okay!"
Shen was also surprised and asked the third girl, "When will I go and register? I will ask Cui'er to sign up for you first."
The third girl laughed, "I have already signed up and signed up for my sister too! I will go to the exam tomorrow. If I pass the exam, I will ask Master Xue to take the exam in person."
Mrs. He immediately said, "I'll go to bed after dinner tonight and find the best clothes to wear tomorrow." She also told Shen, "Give them a porridge tomorrow morning."
He Zijin, "This is not going to take the exam for fame and honor."
Mrs. He rolled her eyes, "You know nothing! I won't go to your aunt's house to study tomorrow. If you can win Master Xue's eyes, this is the fortune! One hundred taels a year, you can't eat and drink!"
"You can learn what Mr. Xue is so easy."
Old Madam He was so angry that she beat her chest, "How could I get such a futile thing from you? You can't say something nice to you in a damn movie! Before you go, just recite the mourning scriptures first."
He Zijin said, "I'm preparing for my grandmother. Look at this, I'm afraid that as long as I'm a woman tomorrow, I'll have to try my luck. If so..."
Before He Zijin could finish speaking, Old Madam He could no longer bear it and pointed at He Zijin, "Get out for me!"
He Zijin: She is not worried about victory, but she is worried about defeat first. What is said in the art of war...
