Chapter 81: Embroidery 3

Embroidery requires great patience, which is exactly what Lin Dan lacks most. Every minute of sitting still, embroidering a pattern, she became very anxious and could not continue anyway. But the Lin family has fallen. She has no choice but to learn embroidery skills and revitalize her family business. Therefore, she must find an effective method to suppress the anxiety in her heart and smooth her sharp edges.
The speed of the wooden stumps and stakes at home is decreasing with the naked eye. When the fire is cooking, the four aunts blame Xiaoyi for being too diligent and chopping the wood too much, making it difficult for her to control the fire. Xiaoyan was bitter in heart, but he didn't dare to say that he had been scared after seeing the fierce energy of the young lady cutting wood.
Lin Dan practiced embroidery for a while, chopped firewood for a while, her waist was not sour, her legs were no longer painful, and her needles became stronger. Slowly, she felt that the bloodiness in her bones was diminishing, and many more flexible and calmer things came up.
She thought that tyranny was her own nature, but not so. It is not so much a nature, it is better to say that it is a sequelae caused by a special experience, and it will be smoothed by a little grinding. Strictly speaking, her temperament is more like water, which can change with the situation, can moisturize, and can be surging.
On this day, she sat for two hours and felt the hatchet, ready to adjust her emotions, but saw the girl-in-law Cuilan walk in with a strange expression.
"What happened?" Lin Dan straightened the stakes and asked casually.
Cui Lan looked around and lowered the volume: "Brothers and sisters of the Du family have moved here for more than a month, but they have never dealt with our family. Somehow today, they even sent someone a car gift."
"What's weird about this, they had to reorganize their new home for more than a month before, naturally they didn't have a heart to make friends and neighbors." Lin Dan split the stake into two left and right petals, and placed them neatly into four petals. Followed by six petals, eight petals ...
Since Xiaoyi was scolded by the two aunts, she didn't let it go, but split the stakes into strips so that she could carry them to the kitchen.
Cui Lan got closer, and replied, "You girl, I do n’t know. It ’s not surprising that you gave the gift more than a month later. It ’s strange that his house sent a car of sawn wood! A few feet of wood ca n’t When it ’s wood, it ’s not good at making furniture. It ’s useless except firewood. What do you mean by his family? You ’re never too poor to afford gifts, right? Madam is feeling sullen at the moment. His family bullies. "
Lin Dan grinned, and his voice was a little bit happy: "The wooden stakes to be sent? Very good!" She didn't have too much of this stuff, she cut as much as she gave, which saved the money for dry wood.
Cui Lan: "..."
She shouldn't discuss it with the girl!
The two were talking to the ducks. After not knowing a wall, Du Rusong was leaning on the trunk and listening to their conversation. There was a smile of interest in the corners of his mouth.
"Brother, brother, I heard that you sent a cart of wood next door today? I can tell you, we are not the sons and daughters of Andinghoufu now, so we can't fool people like that!" One wore a butterfly dress Girl hurried into the yard with a loud voice.
Du Rusong's smirk narrowed immediately, and listened carefully, there was no sound next door.
"Brother, what are you trying to do? They haven't messed with us, let's not mess with them!" The girl was still chanting, making Du Rusong's face black and dark. He was reprimanding his younger sister, and the crackling sound of chopping wood sounded again without being disturbed by their conversation.
Du Rusong didn't collapse and laughed, covering his mouth.
Du Ruyan, as if he had caught any evidence, pointed to the wall and said, "Did you hear? Where did someone cut the firewood and put it in the garden to cut it? It must be that you annoy others, and people deliberately cut wood to protest!" "The two originally belonged to the same family. Later, the owner sold the house in two. The large garden in the middle was divided into two small gardens by a wall, and the layout was symmetrical.
Du Ruyan thought about it more and more. He picked up his skirt and climbed to the top of the tree. He wanted to see how the other person was so angry with her brother. The round face, round eyes, and round little nose are very delicate and cute.
Du Ruyan suddenly fell in love with this little girl like a doll, beckoning: "Little sister, is my family sending you a cart of wood, are you angry?"
Lin Dan picked up a new stake, split it in half with one knife, and shook his head, "No, I'm practicing embroidery."
Du Ruyan laughed and said, "But you are clearly chopping wood!"
Du Rusong also jumped up to the treetop, looked at the little girl with a smile, and saw that she could easily split a wooden post into even-sized wooden bars, her eyes lightened slightly. The layman looked at the doorway, and the layman looked at the excitement. He could see at a glance that the little girl was not just chopping firewood and venting it, but had rules. It seems that she can not achieve such hard work without more than ten years of hard work.
He was just on the alert, but suddenly thought that the bottom line of the family was indeed unclean. Lin Dafu and Zhang Hui were horse thieves at that time. The hacking skills were better than one, and it was a little bit like teaching his own little girl like this. Not surprisingly.
Recalling the little girl's life, let's look at her lovely look, and think of her sturdy temper, somehow, Du Rusong actually wanted to laugh.
Lin Dan didn't look at him, only stared at Du Ruyan. She often listens to Cui Lan's story about how beautiful the lady next door is. Compared to Du Rusong's meticulous, deep-lined features, Du Ruyan is softer and more delicate. He climbs up the treetops in a veil embroidered with a butterfly skirt, and looks like an ordinary fairy, revealing a very moving spirituality .
Lin Dan was very patient with her, pointed to the embroidery frame behind her, and explained, "I have been sitting for a long time, and I always want to chop things. I can't go back to embroider until I cut the wood."
"That's the way it is." Du Ruyan suddenly realized, glanced at his brother thoughtfully, and said, "Can you show me your embroidered flowers?"
"Here you are." Lin Dan put down the hatchet and picked up the embroidery bandages.
Du Ruyan's expectant expression was slightly stiff, and she praised: "It's very expressive and embroidered well." She couldn't see what it was, so she didn't dare to say more.
"Thank you. If you have any needs in the future, you can come to me to buy embroidery, and one day I will be better than Meng Si embroidery." Lin Dan said with great care.
"Yes, if I need it, I will come to you." Du Ruyan smiled cramped, but could not bear to tell the truth. With the little girl's embroidery skills, Mo said that one day, sooner or later, I was afraid that she would never catch up with Meng Si in her life. People started to learn embroidery when they were three years old. How old is this little girl this year? Looks like this should be fourteen, right? It's a bit late.
But Du Rusong, who had never expected to be poisoned, said, "I believe that if you give me some time, you will be able to surpass Meng Si. If there is no wood in the house, you can come to me." The handsome facial features glowed in the spring.
Cui Lan's eyes were straight, and her mouth grew a little bit afraid that there would be drooling. Lin Dan was unmoved and nodded, "Thank you, I will give you one for free when I embroider the finished product." He was very confident in his words.
"The girl is polite." Du Rusong could not help but see her younger sister wanted to talk to someone, and then pinched her neck to jump off the tree. After moving in for more than a month, he had already figured out the routine of the little girl and cut two wooden stakes. She should practice embroidery again now, but it can't delay others' time.
"Brother, you really can speak. If you were like this at home, your father would never take your place in the world." Du Ruyan looked up and down his brother, his smile was very ambiguous. It ’s a nice gift, but it ’s also a caring word. Brother, is this red heart?
"I didn't tell a lie," Du Rusongdu affirmed. "Sooner or later, the little girl can make it happen, you can watch it." Embroidery can also embroider a fierce force to kill the enemy, and force himself to day and day. Sitting still and practicing hard all the time, with this perseverance, what can't the little girl do?
Du Ruyan shook his head and hummed, ignoring his brother's words at all.
On the other end, Lin Dan has immersed himself in the embroidery wholeheartedly, stitch by stitch, stitching flat and fine. Another three months later, she had mastered several basic needlework methods of embroidery, and she also learned the tailoring very well. She also made a skirt for Zhang Hui and her two aunts, which fit well.
On this day, the two aunts finally changed the course and said: "You have already learned the seven basic stitching methods of embroidery, and we ca n’t teach deeper stitches ourselves. We cannot teach you."
Lin Dan shook his head: "No problem, the person who first invented embroidery will not know anything, relying on little by little by himself. The advent of each kind of needlework is sculpted by the embroidery mother day and night. They If I can do it, I can do it too. "
The two aunts were pleased: "It is best for Tamer to think like this. There are some highly skilled embroidery in the house, which your father found from all over the country. We'll bring it to you for a while. Maybe it will be inspiring to you. From today, we will teach you painting. An embroidery woman is no longer beautiful, she can't embroider anything. If you can learn painting well, you can learn embroidery. You can do more with less. I heard that Meng Si is very good at painting. When embroidering, she does not even need to draw pictures on the embroidery cloth. She picks up needlework and hands to embroider. A painting can sell a thousand dollars, and her embroidery can also be sold for the same price. The world says that her embroidery is no less inferior than the peerless paintings. It can be seen how important it is to learn painting well. "
Lin Dan nodded and said yes, he did not dare to slack off.
The two aunts took out a few more silk threads and said: "Before learning to paint, we will teach you to distinguish colors. If composition is the basis of embroidery, then color is the soul of embroidery. Only by combining the two perfectly In order to embroider a hand-made work. You see, the silk thread in my hand has four colors, which are dark green, dark green, medium green, and light green ... "
Lin Dan looked at the embroidery thread and shook his head, "Auntie, you are wrong. There are clearly six colors here."
The two aunts looked at the silk thread, and then looked at her serious face, suddenly a little surprised.
