Early on the next morning, Lu Caiwei piled all the clothes she had brought in front of Shen Xiu.
The method Shen Xiu mentioned is actually color matching.
If you don't know how to match the same clothes, not only will they not be beautiful when worn, but they will expose your own flaws. On the contrary, if you match them carefully, you will get unexpected effects.
As an embroiderer, if you want to complete an excellent embroidery job, you must not only be good at various stitches, but also know how to match colors.
Needless to say, Shen Xiu took careful notes on color matching and even bought many professional books.
Generally speaking, there are four color combinations in embroidery.
The first is to match the same color. That is, colors of the same color series match each other, such as dark yellow and light yellow.
The second type is adjacent color matching. It is to match colors that are close to each other in the color system, such as lake blue and light green.
The third type is complementary matching. It is two colors that can complement each other in the color system, such as red and green.
The fourth is to match the main colors. It is to use one color as the main color and match it with one color or multiple colors. For example, red is the main color and matched with black and green.
When Shen Xiu and Lu Caiwei met Yu Shuya for the first time, the other party used matching colors, which could just show off her noble temperament.
Lu Caiwei's temperament is not as outstanding as Yu Shuya's and is not suitable for matching with the same color.
Shen Xiu looked at the clothes all over the bed, and then carefully looked at Lu Caiwei's appearance, feeling that she was more suitable for complementary matching.
Lu Caiwei's appearance is soft and delicate, not aggressive. If she wears light clothes, she may look more feminine, but she will also become ordinary.
Shen Xiu pondered for a moment, then picked up two pieces of clothing and handed them to Lu Caiwei.
"Fourth girl, I think these two clothes are better for you."
The clothes in Shen Xiu's hands were a royal blue embroidered orchid-patterned double-breasted gown and an orange flowered skirt.
Lu Caiwei looked at it but shook her head: "No, how can these two pieces of clothing be worn together?"
Shen Xiudao: "Why not? Miss Four, you will know after you try it on."
Lu Caiwei wanted to refuse, but Shen Xiu repeatedly affirmed that she would look beautiful in these two clothes, so Lu Caiwei seemed to believe it.
When Lu Caiwei changed her clothes and came out of the inner room, Shen Xiu immediately felt her eyes light up.
Lu Caiwei's appearance is actually not bad. After being set off by royal blue and orange, her whole person suddenly looks more bright. And because this brightness is set off by a soft background, it does not appear gorgeous, but it just highlights the bright and beautiful young girl.
tender and beautiful.
The maid Banxia looked around and said with a smile: "Our girl is indeed much more beautiful dressed up like this."
Lu Caiwei still didn't believe it. When Daya also clapped her hands and said she was beautiful, Lu Caiwei became more cheerful and said, "I'll go show it to mother."
"Wait a minute." Shen Xiu called to Lu Caiwei who was about to leave, "I have Mingyan, but she's a little less dignified."
She chose another lake blue shoulder bag from the bed, put it on for Lu Caiwei herself, then looked at it carefully and said, "This is perfect."
The lake blue cloud shoulders and the royal blue double-breasted coat are of the same color. The lake blue can neutralize the brightness of the royal blue, which makes it more ladylike and dignified.
Shen Xiu also gave a special instruction, "The jewelry on the head should be mainly red with a little blue. This is the best."
Lu Caiwei wore this dress, and after receiving Mother Lu's approval, she followed Shen Xiu's instructions and put on a coral head flower and a blue glazed hairpin on her right temple.
When Lu Cailian came over, she showed an astonished look and pulled Lu Caiwei to look at her again and again, "Our fourth sister is really getting more and more beautiful as she grows older. These clothes match well, and the jewelry on our heads is also well chosen." Again.
Ask who chose these clothes and jewelry.
After Lu Caiwei got Shen Xiu's advice, she just said that she did it blindly.
When the group of them went to see the eldest wife of the Yu family, they met Yu Shuya who came to pay her respects.
Yu Shuya is still very elegantly dressed, with aqua embroidery embroidered on the stone blue underskirt. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly find the traces of embroidery. The workmanship is really complicated and low-key.
Yu Shuya was originally fiddling with the pair of white jade bracelets with the Eight Immortals pattern on her hands. When she saw Lu Caiwei and her group, especially Lu Caiwei's outfit, a flash of surprise flashed across her face.
The eldest wife of the Yu family didn't look strange at all. She was still the same as yesterday. She greeted them warmly and politely. When she saw Da Ya, she even gave them a small greeting gift.
Lu Caiwei raised her chin slightly. Even though no one said anything, the maids' eyes frequently falling on her and Yu Shuya's surprised expression said everything.
Today she finally got back the game and successfully defeated Yu Shuya.
Shen Xiu sees everything in her eyes, and Yu Shuya still takes the temperament route today, but no matter how outstanding her temperament is, it must be blessed by her beauty.
When Lu Caiwei changed her course and switched to a bright and colorful style, Yu Shuya, who had outstanding temperament, was somewhat at a disadvantage.
After all, Lu Cailian cared about her sister-in-law's face, and after saying a few words, she changed the topic to going out to burn incense today.
Although Lu Cailian did not specify it clearly, she expressed her meaning very clearly.
The reason why Lu Caiwei dressed up was to go out to burn incense, not to compare herself to Yu Shuya.
Shen Xiu sighed to herself, Lu Cailian was really difficult to be a daughter-in-law. She had to take care of her mother's family as well as her sister-in-law's face.
As expected, it is difficult to be the daughter-in-law of a big family.
She was lamenting that Lu Cailian was ready to take Mother Lu and Lu Caiwei out.
When Lu Cailian was about to ask Shen Xiu if she wanted to go with her, Yu Shuya interrupted: "I have already made an appointment with Mrs. Shen to go to Manfang Embroidery Workshop. My sister-in-law should accompany her in-laws!"
Since the sister-in-law had already made an appointment with Mrs. Shen, Lu Cailian did not force her and took Lu Mu and Lu Caiwei to leave first.
After Yu Shuya waited for her sister-in-law to leave, she pulled Shen Xiu and left.
As soon as she left the yard of the eldest wife of the Yu family, Yu Shuya whispered: "Ms. Shen, did you help Miss Lu to dress up today?"
Shen Xiu knew that she couldn't hide it, so she smiled slightly and said: "Miss Yu is really smart, how did you know?"
Yu Shuya smiled mischievously: "The first time I met Miss Lu, she was wearing a pink dress embroidered with pink and purple roses. I knew then that she didn't know how to match colors. But the clothes she wore today were completely
After careful matching, I knew that someone was helping me, and this person, apart from Mrs. Shen, there is no one else."
Everything was right for Yu Shuya, Shen Xiu smiled faintly: "Let me also guess, Miss Yu asked this question, she must be more than just curious."
"You're right." Yu Shuya pulled Shen Xiu and said in a coquettish tone: "I also want you to match the clothes. I originally thought this outfit was pretty good, but after seeing Miss Lu's clothes, I felt
This piece of clothing has fallen into disgrace."
When Shen Xiu matched Lu Caiwei's clothes, she had already expected that Yu Shuya would also ask her for help.
And this is exactly the result she wants.
Qu Huan will soon arrive at Fucheng with the peony embroidered screen.
If these peony embroidered screens sell well, Shen Xiu can get 60% of the profit.
If Shen Xiu had not come to Fucheng, Shen Xiu would have let Qu Huan do what he wanted. But since he had already come to Fucheng, he would naturally want to help Qu Huan.
If you want Peony Embroidery Screen to become famous, you need help.
Shen Xiu went through many selections and felt that Yu Shuya, a local lady from a well-known family, was the most suitable.
It's just that asking for help is at a disadvantage. The best way to ask for help is to wait for the person to come to you.
Shen Xiu then used the color matching of her clothes to successfully get Yu Shuya to speak. As long as the other party spoke, she could propose an exchange condition.
