"Miss Youwei, there is no need to worry. The Queen Mother has long thought that Miss Youwei may not be very interested in female celebrities, so she specially asked me to bring you an embroiderer from the palace."
Aunt Shang turned her head slightly.
From behind Grandma Shang, a middle-aged woman who looked at Grandma Shang and was about the same age came over.
Aunt Shang opened her mouth to introduce.
"This is Su Embroidery Lady from Shangyi Bureau, but she is one of the best embroidery girls in Shangyi Bureau." Aunt Shang paused, as if something suddenly occurred to her, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she pulled out the
With a smile, "Speaking of which, Su Xiu Niang is from Suzhou, and she is probably half a fellow villager with you, Miss Youwei."
Su Xiu Niang is indeed an old man in the Clothing Bureau. The fact that Su Xiu Niang is sent here this time is enough to show that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to the engagement between Xie Youwei and Chu Qin.
Xie Youwei opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Su Xiu Niang with a bit of interest.
"Really? What a coincidence!"
Only Xie Youwei knew that she was performing for the two people in front of her.
From Suzhou.
Those eight will become the embroiderers of Su embroidery.
How difficult is Su embroidery...
In short, Xie Youwei only remembers that when she was a child, she went to watch her aunt embroider something. She was so dazzled that she couldn't understand how the hands embroidered those clever and vivid little patterns.
Xie Youwei felt extremely miserable, as if she had foreseen her own miserable future.
Nanny Shang gave some other instructions and left Xie's Mansion.
Xie Youwei looked at Su Xiu Niang in front of her, her face a little sad, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile.
Su Xiu Niang smiled softly.
"Miss Xie, I'm going to be bothering you in Xie's Mansion for a while."
Xie You smiled.
"No way, I'm obviously going to trouble you, Su Xiu Niang."
The two of them greeted each other politely for a while, and finally brought the topic to the main topic.
Su Xiu Niang took out a pile of drawings and handed them in Xie Youwei's direction.
"Miss Xie, this is the embroidery pattern that our clothing bureau in the palace has selected for you as a reference. Miss Xie, let's see if there is anything you like. Let's start embroidering the wedding dress earlier."
Xie Youwei nodded, took the paper from Su Xiu Niang's hand, and started to read it.
Just like the wedding suit, the overall pattern looks particularly dignified and calm.
Xie Youwei finished reading and raised his head.
"Only this?"
Su Xiu Niang nodded.
"Miss Xie can't choose a pattern that you are satisfied with? Do you need me to go to the palace and discuss with the clothing bureau to draw something else that suits Miss Xie's wishes?"
Xie Youwei shook his head.
"No need, these are enough."
She doesn't plan to get married either, and it's impossible to wear this wedding dress.
Why should she be so picky about this wedding dress and the wedding?
Xie Youwei flipped through it casually, selected a few relatively simple patterns, and handed them back to Su Xiu Niang.
Su Xiu Niang nodded.
"Then I will prepare some preliminary things for Miss Xie first. I will make an appointment in two days before Miss Xie can start embroidering the wedding dress."
Xie Youwei nodded.
In the next few days, Xie Youwei stayed peacefully in the house, learning embroidery skills from Na Su embroiderer every day.
Due to the Queen Mother's relationship, Xie Youwei couldn't fool him even if he wanted to, and had to follow him honestly.
Just how it will look when embroidered is not hers to say.
Her hands have a mind of their own.
The fifth day when I started to embroider the wedding dress.
Su Xiu Niang stood on the side, looking at what Xie Youwei had worked hard to embroider all afternoon, and then looked at Xie Youwei's fair and beautiful hands.
"Thank you, girl, for your hands..."
Halfway through, Su Xiu Niang shut up and did not continue to say anything.
But Xie Youwei felt inexplicably that she understood Su Xiu Niang's unspoken meaning.
——Girl, please give it to those in need.
Xie You pursed her lips slightly, feeling awkwardly the suffocation she felt when she was watched by the math teacher when she was still in school.
Xie Youwei raised his head and smiled coquettishly at Su Xiu Niang.
Su Xiu Niang turned her attention to the embroidery work brought over by Xie Youwei on the other side.
It was a pattern she arranged for Xie Youwei to practice yesterday.
Su Xiu Niang looked at it carefully for a while and then spoke with some uncertainty.
"Miss Xie, this embroidery is... fruit?"
On a small piece of white cloth is a pink unknown object.
It’s just... why is the fruit pink?
Su Xiu Niang was puzzled and only guessed that it might be some fruits she had never seen before.
Xie Youwei's expression looked a bit embarrassed. She quietly raised her eyes, glanced at Su Xiu Niang with some fear, and then looked at her embroidery work.
Although Xie Youwei wanted to nod and simply muddle through, her conscience and the teachings of her teacher when she was a student still made Xie Youwei tell the truth.
"This... is the begonia flower in my courtyard..."
Now they are in Xie Youwei's yard.
The temperature is gradually getting warmer, and the crabapple flowers have begun to wither, but a few can still be seen here and there.
Apart from the color, there is nothing related to the work on Xie Youwei's embroidery.
Su Xiu Niang took a deep breath, lowered her voice a bit, and tried to make her voice calmer.
"It's okay. Let's learn slowly. There's still some time before the wedding, so there's still time."
Xie Youwei opened her big round eyes and looked at Su Xiu Niang with sincere and eager eyes.
"Really?"
Can she really learn this embroidery skill?
Xie Youwei didn't ask for anything else, she just wanted to be able to master the simplest embroidery stitches as soon as possible.
At least in the next few days, the frequency of pricking my hands can be reduced.
Xie You glanced at his hands without leaving any trace.
It had only been a few days, but there were so many scars on her delicate hands.
Can she really not run away from the marriage now?
Ten thousand possible solutions flashed through his mind, but in the end, they were all suppressed by Xie Youwei.
After practicing for several days, Xie Youwei suddenly received a summons from the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother summoned her and Na Chuqin to enter the palace together.
Xie Youwei could probably guess why.
She had rejected Chu Qin's invitations so many times, so the Queen Mother must have heard about it.
No, I'm just here to help my son.
Xie Youwei didn't have too many surprises. She just gave Xicui a few instructions, asked Xicui to tie herself up and get her things ready, and then got on the carriage sent by the Queen Mother from the palace.
On top of the carriage, Xie Youwei sat inside, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little confused.
Why.
Why here, she still has to embroider this thing.
Xie You lowered his eyes slightly and glanced sadly at the embroidered bandage in his hand.
