"Your grandfather?" Qiao Yuyan thought for a while and said in surprise, "Isn't your fifth sister not even thirteen yet?"
Song Yuwei disagreed and said: "There is still more than a month. If the time is set right, we will be just in time."
Has Qiao Yuyan met or talked to the fifth girl from the Song family? She is really a cute little girl, but she is too innocent, so innocent that she does not look like a girl from the Song family.
Song Yuwei sighed helplessly, "Now the Holy Master relies heavily on my grandfather, and my grandfather also thinks that the Holy Master has the appearance of a wise king. My father was also appointed to offer wine to the Imperial Academy a few days ago. I think my grandfather also paved the way for him.
"
Seeing her worry, Qiao Yuyan smiled and said: "How can we know as well as them about what is going on in the court outside? You must be scared. After all, your family has always kept a low profile in the past.
Ever since you were sensible, your grandmother and the others have asked you to keep a low profile, which is why you are frightened by the competition in the court today. However, your father and grandfather have experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, and their political acumen is naturally higher than that of others.
You need to be taller.
What's more, your great-grandfather was once the imperial master of the Three Dynasties. Your grandfather was carefully cultivated since he was a child. Isn't it possible that he is not as knowledgeable as a little girl like us?"
Song Yuwei blushed at what she said, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to hit her, "Just go ahead and make fun of me. Come on, I'll make you laugh this time, and I feel much more at ease."
As she spoke, she took out something from her arms, which was a small box.
"What is this? Is it possible that if I want to leave, you still have to send me a message?"
Song Yuwei put the matter behind her and joked with a smile: "I can't afford to give it away. You, a rich woman, are much richer than me."
Inside this small box was a handkerchief. Qiao Yuyan held it in her hand and opened it, revealing a small double-sided embroidery.
Although she didn't know much about embroidery, she could still tell that the embroidery work was superb and the embroidery skills were outstanding. It was definitely not made by ordinary people.
She and Song Yuwei often joked together, and she was naturally familiar with Song Yuwei's craftsmanship. Although Song Yuwei was good at embroidery, the gap was really not small.
"Although I have money, and I also have some exquisite embroidery work, but this... I really don't have it. It seems that the really rich person is you. If you don't do it, you will be amazing."
Song Yuwei smiled and hit her again, "You're talking nonsense again, and I'm telling you the truth, I only have two handkerchiefs like this."
This was given to me by my former husband, and I learned my craftsmanship from her. As for my husband’s real name, I don’t know anything about her origins, or even the names of those in my family.
She was also very mysterious.
Except for teaching me embroidery, no one was around. She told me that teaching me at my home was just to repay my great-grandfather for saving my life. She taught me for three years and then left."
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but put away her joking expression and said seriously: "This sounds like a master in a drawing book."
Song Yuwei was not modest, but nodded seriously, "You are just as I thought. My husband is really not an ordinary person, just like my grandmother! Except for a few times, she just said she didn't see her.
She taught me at home, preached for three years, taught for three years, and then left after teaching. She had a very arrogant temperament, but she was still a good person at heart. I studied with her for three years, and after all, there was some kind of master-disciple relationship, so
When she left, she gave me these two veils."
When Qiao Yuyan heard what she said, she folded the handkerchief and put it back into the box, and gave it back to her, "In this case, you should put it away properly. I don't lack this handkerchief."
Even if it is made into a screen, the master-disciple relationship between you and her will be wasted for no reason."
"I'm not giving this to you!" Song Yuwei unfolded the handkerchief carefully in her hand and pointed it out to her seriously, "Look at the stitching technique and the color matching, what can you not think of?
"
Qiao Yuyan was really confused and could only beg for mercy, "My sister, you don't know how stupid I am at this embroidery thing. How could you think of using this to test me?"
Song Yuwei seemed to be choked by her words, and she hit her arm angrily, "I don't know how Auntie caught your female celebrity, you can't even recognize Xue Xue's craftsmanship!
"
Qiao Yuyan immediately clapped her hands and laughed, "Because it's not good for my daughter to be red!"
There was really no hesitation in the laughter and conversation, which left Song Yuwei speechless.
However, Qiao Yuyan still caught the key point of her words, "Did you just say Master Xue?"
"You finally understand," Song Yuwei, probably too angry at Qiao Yuyan's appearance, rolled her eyes, "You have heard of Mr. Xue's name at least! Isn't there a saying before?
Can you tell me? The embroidery skills of Nan Xue and Bei Cao are unparalleled in the world.
However, Lady Cao has long since passed away. Although her subsequent disciples also have outstanding talents, they have never regained their former glory. However, the reason why the Xue family can truly surpass Lady Cao and be called everyone is because of her years in Jiangnan.
A reputation for breaking out."
Qiao Yuyan is not that unfamiliar with this matter after all, "I know this. I heard my grandmother and my mother say that this is why the Xue family recruited apprentices in Jiangnan and established Xue's embroidery room, specifically recruiting women from poor families to work in the embroidery room.
Not only do we teach them skills, we also provide them with wages, so that they can not only increase their family income, but also learn a trade."
Song Yuwei nodded and said: "Yes, Xue's embroidery room is very influential in the entire south. Even the government looks at her in a different light, because the things woven by their embroidery room are better than those of the Weaving Bureau, and the prices are cheaper."
, whether it is paid tribute to the palace or sold to other places, it has great potential.
Therefore, now the entire south, whether people from the imperial court, merchants and ordinary people, respect Xue's embroidery house very much, and it can be regarded as a clear stream among the many forces in the south that exist alone in public."
Qiao Yuyan frowned, "Then give me this veil..."
Song Yuwei's face showed a hint of reluctance, "You don't know what you will encounter when you go to Jiangnan. I heard Liu Lang say that the situation there is not really good, although your grandmother also has some influence in Jiangxi.
, the Xu family is really a big family.
But when it comes to those power disputes, there is no guarantee that there will be some unexpected things. If you hold this veil, I can't imagine what kind of occasion it will be used for.
But if there is such an eventuality, it can at least get the protection of the Xue family. She left these two veils to me. On the one hand, it is naturally the affection between master and disciple. On the other hand, I think it is also
