Li Yongzhen shook his head: "It's not her." He paused and asked with a little excitement, "Mom, do you think this embroidery is as good as Master Xunyue?"

Mrs. Li didn't have time to answer Li Yongzhen, but walked up to the flower and bird embroidery, carefully looked at the needlework and details of the embroidery. The more she looked, the more excited she became:

"The needlework is not as good as Master Xunyue, but the details are handled and transitioned too smoothly. It is natural! I have come into contact with a lot of embroidery items in my life, but it is the first time I saw the details handled so well!"

Although Li Yongzhen thought this embroidery was good before, he didn't expect it to be compared with the master's works. At this time, after listening to Mrs. Li's comments, his heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat, and he was a little proud again.

The girl he likes is so outstanding that he can not only improve the car but also has such a superb embroidery level.

At this time, Mrs. Li was still carefully observing the embroidery of the flower seedlings. She was amazed while looking at it: "The color matching is very clever and the color is very elegant. Unfortunately, because the transition of details is too clever, the color connection is eclipsed. However,

The defect of this color has nothing to do with the level of the embroidery master, it is purely because the color of the silk thread cannot meet the requirements."

After hearing this, Li Yongzhen couldn't help looking at the large embroidery in front of him. The more he looked, the more exquisite he felt. He asked Mrs. Li: "Mom, is this embroidery powerful enough?"

Mrs. Li withdrew her regretful gaze and looked at Li Yongzhen with a little excitement: "Yes." After saying that, she stopped excitedly and said, "But you have to be sure that this embroiderer can be used by us and can help us embroider.

.Yongzhen, where did you get this embroidery? Can you ask the master who embroidered this embroidery to stay in our Liuxiafang?"

Although there are many embroidery girls in the world today, works by top masters are rare, and even if you are not a high-ranking official, you don’t have much chance to get one.

Li Yongzhen pondered for a moment, and thought of his own thoughts, and soon made a decision and said, "Mom, what you know is Miss Xiao who has improved the car reel. As for whether she is willing to join our Liuxiafang, I am not sure.

”

Mrs. Li was full of embroidery at this time. She didn't notice that Li Yongzhen mentioned Xiao Yao's expression and said with emotion: "Is it her? I thought it was just a craftsman who improved the car, but she didn't expect that she had an embroidery journey.

Such a talent, he is actually a master!”

In her mind, the craftsman who improved the reels was not worth much, so she was very angry when she knew that Li Yongzhen actually gave a profit from several workshops for this and scolded Li Yongzhen several times.

When I learned that Xiao Yao could also embroider, I couldn't help but be glad that his son was kind-hearted and attracted such an embroidery master.

Mrs. Li suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked at Li Yongzhen: "Yongzhen, Miss Xiao will give you the embroidery. Maybe she recommends herself to you and wants to join our Liuxiafang. Hurry up, let's prepare all the gifts and go and invite them.

Miss Xiao joins our Liuxiafang.”

She didn't dare to deceive people to join Liuxiafang at a very small price when Miss Xiao didn't understand anything, because once she did this, Xiao Yao would understand it in the future and would resent the Li family.

Li Yongzhen shook his head: "Miss Xiao does not want to join our Liuxiafang, she just wants to use my hand to sell a few embroidery pieces."

Mrs. Li took back her excitement, but said: "No matter whether she is, since she has such a level, we have to invite her back."

Li Yong really thought that once Mrs. Li saw the benefits brought to the Li family by Xiao Yao and Xiao Yao, she would agree with him and no longer force him to marry the eldest lady of the Qiu family. She nodded immediately and immediately went to Mrs. Li.

Let’s prepare all the gifts together and go to Xiaoyao’s yard in person.

Xiao Yao was learning double-sided embroidery with Miss Sun. Because this required a relatively advanced craft, she did not learn it as quickly as before.

But through understanding, she quickly grasped the key points. First, connect the short needle several times to hide the end of the thread, so that the thread ends are not exposed on both sides; second, put the needle vertically and do not pierce the embroidered thread on the reverse side;

Third, arrange the pins very evenly in order; finally, hide the head and hide the end of the thread in the last few needles without any trace.

But this requires superb craftsmanship after all, so although Xiao Yao understood the key points, he was still very manual when practicing embroidery, so he failed many times.

After Xiao Yao took everyone away from Beijing safely and improved the car reel, Fan Yue felt that her girl was the best. Seeing that Xiao Yao failed to practice double-sided embroidery many times, she asked Madam Sun: "What are you doing with double-sided faces?"

Can embroidery really be embroidered?"

Madam Sun heard Banyue’s suspicion of her, so she lowered her face, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and placed it on the table: “This is double-sided embroidery. Do you think it can be embroidered?”

This girl, she can't embroidery or speak, is far inferior to the full moon.

Unfortunately, Yuanyue and Xiao Xunzhen went out to buy things.

After hearing this, Ban Yue picked up the veil and saw that there was a peach blossom embroidered on both sides. A colorful bird stood on the peach blossom branches. It was not good-looking, and the patterns on both sides were exactly the same as the colors.

I couldn't help but be surprised: "It's true that there is double-sided embroidery. How is this embroidered?"

Xiao Yao also came over to look at the veil. Seeing that the two sides not only had the same pattern and color, but also the needle method was exactly the same. He couldn't help but nodded: "Master's stitching level is much higher than mine. This double-sided embroidery is both beautiful and magical.

.”

Madam Sun stared at the veil and whispered: "It's natural and beautiful, otherwise it wouldn't be listed as a treasure of the palace. It's too difficult to buy double-sided embroidery outside. Only the palace and those nobles can

Own one.”

Double-sided embroidery is very particular about the level of embroidery. Ordinary embroidery craftsmen are absolutely unable to embroidery. Only masters with outstanding craftsmanship can embroidery.

Xiao Yao looked at the veil a few times and saw a circle outside. It was obvious that it was made into a round fan or ornament, but he didn't know what happened, so he took it off and made it into a veil with him.

However, this is related to the origin of Miss Sun, so she couldn't ask directly, so she admired the veil for a while and then buried her head in learning.

She knew how to embroider the double-sided embroidery, but now she saw the authentic double-sided embroidery, and her thinking suddenly opened up. Her hands, who were originally unruly, seemed to be well-behaved and obeyed her commands very much.

Just when Xiao Yao was able to embroider, the door was knocked.

When Ban Yue went to open the door, he quickly attracted Li Yongzhen and an elderly lady to come in. Behind Li Yongzhen and the lady, there were several servants holding gift boxes.

Xiao Yao took back all the embroidery strips and silk threads, and stood up to welcome the guests.

When Mrs. Li saw Xiao Yao, she almost couldn't turn her eyes away and thought that such a beautiful beauty was the only one I saw in my life. I was afraid that any man would have to be pity and admiration when he saw her.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li immediately remembered that Li Yongzhen suddenly refused to marry the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, and her heart suddenly sank.

My son Li Yongzhen, I think he is the girl who loves the beautiful country in front of me.

Such a disaster must be prevented from meeting her.

After Xiao Yao asked Li Yongzhen and his son to sit down, and asked the maid to serve tea, he asked softly: "I wonder what the two of you came?"

Mrs. Li said before Li Yongzhen: "That's right. I've seen Miss Xiao's embroidery, which is amazing, so I want to invite her to join our Liuxiafang. If Miss Xiao is willing to join, we will definitely satisfy Miss Xiao.

.” She said, and subconsciously looked at Miss Sun.

In her mind, it was definitely not a yellow-haired girl like Xiao Yao, but a lady Sun, so she subconsciously watched Madam Sun speak.

Li Yongzhen was very anxious and immediately said to Mrs. Li: "Mom, this is Miss Xiao, I ask me to sell embroidery." He then apologized to Xiao Yao with a hot face.

Xiao Yao shook his head: "This is nothing. I am young and it is indeed easy for people to misunderstand."

Mrs. Li was embarrassed and quickly apologized, and then made her request to Xiao Yao again.

Xiao Yao said: "I'm afraid I'm going to let down Mrs. Li's love. I like freedom and don't want to join Liuxiafang. In addition, although I learn embroidery, I will never be able to embroidery all day long, so I absolutely cannot afford to support the needs of your house.

the quantity.”

She is now in a hurry to learn embroidery and likes embroidery very much. She takes it out to embroidery once she has time, but she understands that embroidery every day is very harmful. After she learns to embroidery, she will only embroider treasures in the future. After she has learned to embroidery, she will only embroider treasures. After a few days, she will be able to use them.

Embroidery, so it won’t be suitable for joining Liuxiafang.

Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Miss Xiao might as well consider it again? We really want Miss Xiao to join."

She was actually not happy that Xiao Yao and Li Yong had too much contact, but just glanced around and saw that although the courtyard was clean, it was quite simple. Although the clothes Xiao Yao and his few wearing were good, they were already

It’s old, obviously there is no good background. With the Li family’s family background, it’s enough to take Xiao Yao as a concubine, so I’m no longer afraid of Xiao Yao and Li Yongzhen’s contact.

On the contrary, once Xiao Yao likes Li Yongzhen and becomes Li Yongzhen's concubine, the embroidery level of Liuxiafang will be greatly improved, and their Li family will have an unprecedentedly powerful embroidery girl, and will make sure to make a profit without losing money.

Xiao Yao said, "Sorry, Mrs. Li should ask you for another wise man." She really didn't want to join, not because Mrs. Li's gaze made her displeasure.

At this time, Mrs. Sun, who was beside her, suddenly spoke: "I heard that Mrs. Li always wanted to become an imperial merchant, so that the Liuxiafang, which was embroidered by her own embroidery, was listed as a palace embroidery. Mrs. Li invited the girl to join Liuxiafang at this time, and I guess she was interested in it.

What a girl's craft?"

Seeing that Mrs. Sun knew her family well during conversation, Mrs. Li nodded: "That's true." She immediately smiled bitterly, "It's just that silk and embroidery are not the ones that our Li family has always been good at, and she was imprisoned by the Lou family in this regard.

To keep it in a safe manner, we can only invite the embroidery master, hoping to break the deadlock with the master's works."

Mrs. Sun asked again: "As far as I know, the Li family and the Lou family are a bit far apart. Why did Mrs. Li believe that once there is a good embroidery lady, she can compete with the Lou family?"

Xiao Yao listened to Mrs. Sun's question and browsed.

Mrs. Sun hated Jilou's family. When she asked this question at this time, she must have the intention of joining Liuxiafang.

If Miss Sun joins, as a disciple, she will have to help when Miss Sun needs it.

Mrs. Li felt that Mrs. Sun’s problem was a bit strange and offensive. Just as she was just fooling around with something casually, her eyes caught up with Mrs. Sun’s hands, and her heart broke out and immediately informed her of the reason:

"To be honest, our Li family saved a father-in-law from the inner court by chance and maintained a good relationship. If we become an imperial merchant, we will have an embroidery master and good embroidery, and the support of that father-in-law,

It can be compared with the Lou family even if it is too long."

After hearing this, Madam Sun stared at Mrs. Li for a long time before slowly speaking: "I can also embroider, I wonder if you would like me to join Liuxiafang?" While saying that, she took out the double-sided embroidered handkerchief.

.

As soon as Mrs. Li's eyes touched the double-sided embroidery, her breathing became rapid. She immediately sat upright and looked at the double-sided embroidery. Seeing the pattern, color matching and needlework were excellent, she couldn't help but feel happy and asked excitedly.

: "Is this cross stitch embroidered by this lady?"

Madam Sun nodded: "It's what I embroidered."

Mrs. Li immediately stood up and bowed to Mrs. Sun: "My wife's level is exactly what we want to ask for. We are grateful to her for being willing to join our Liuxiafang."

After hearing this, Miss Sun put away the veil and said, "I have a few conditions."

Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Madam just say that if I can do it, I will definitely agree."

Madam Sun looked at Xiao Yao and said, "First, it is me who joined Liuxiafang, so you are not allowed to disturb my girl. Second, erase all signs of the girl and me, and do not let others know about the relationship between the girl and me.

Third, I will not be able to join Liuxiafang in a month.”

"I promise you!" Mrs. Li thought it was going to be bleeding heavily, but she didn't expect that it was such a simple condition and immediately agreed.
