Chapter 52 Olive Branch (please subscribe)

After the meal, the maids removed the hot pot and brought tea and snacks.

There were five or six small plates on the plate that held the snacks, which contained the same kinds of sweets that Qiao Yun brought back. Round mung bean cakes, small biscuits of different shapes, sliced ​​red dates and walnut candies, and colorful fruits.

Hard candies, snow-white toffee...

Meng Shaoqing and Yun Xuemei both love sweets. When they saw this table of snacks, they were more excited than when they saw the hot pot, and almost drooled.

Mrs. Lu called the maid.

"Is there a small flat box with a fan in the gift Yun Yatou gave me before? Bring it over."

The maid said yes and went to look for it. After a while, she came back holding the box: "Madam, it must be this one."

Qiao Yun saw it and nodded hastily: "That's indeed it."

Mrs. Lu then took the box and opened it.

hiss--

She gasped.

She doesn't know Shu embroidery, but this picture of a peacock flying southeast is very different from the popular Su embroidery. If we talk about embroidering birds, Su embroidery can also be embroidered lifelike.

But this embroidery is different. It's just a fan, such a narrow piece of silk. The peacock on it is vivid, full of three-dimensionality, the color is bright and full, and the light and shadow are grasped very well. It's like... it's like a real

The peacock was flattened and pressed against the fan!

Yun Xuemei was also shocked when she saw this fan.

As a native of Yizhou, Yun Xuemei grew up in Chengdu until she was fifteen years old. She has seen countless embroidery works of all sizes in Sichuan.

This kind of bright and bright embroidery with strong visual impact can't be seen anywhere else in the entire Xuan Tang Dynasty.

Qiao Yun...how could she do this?

Oh, yes, she must have done it in another world.

Yun Xuemei convinced herself.

"You actually embroidered this? How long did it take to embroider?" Mrs. Lu carefully picked up the handle of the fan, her eyes full of surprise.

Qiao Yun nodded shyly and said modestly: "I embroidered it in my spare time. I thought I had just finished my studies and could embroider whatever I wanted to try, so I embroidered a fan."

"You just finished your studies not long ago?"

These words deeply hurt Mrs. Lu's heart.

She glanced at Meng Shaoqing who was holding a biscuit and gnawing it like a squirrel.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

She is also an eleven-year-old girl, but she knows how to cook food, pour facial paste, and has such superb embroidery skills!

"Where did you learn from?"

But to be fair, if there really is an embroiderer who can embroider so beautifully, how could she not know about it as the highest-ranking female family member in Quwo County?

Qiao Yun immediately replied: "My grandmother is from Yizhou. But she left earlier."

When Yun Xuemei heard this, the corner of her mouth curled up silently.

Kidney Bean lied to her again.

But she was very happy, which was exactly what Kidney Bean wanted from her. Otherwise, she would have felt like a baby if Kidney Bean fed her all day long.

So Yun Xuemei confirmed Qiao Yun's statement. She nodded with some regret and sighed: "This is a common embroidery method in Sichuan. But I didn't learn any of it. Fortunately, Yun girl is very talented, otherwise I

If my mother's good embroidery skills are not passed down, I will not be willing to let her go."

Mrs. Lu is actually not a native of Quwo County.

She came here three years ago with her husband who took office here.

She really didn't know what happened in Quwo County three years ago.

Mrs. Lu gave up and kept marveling: "It would be a pity to use this kind of embroidery skills to make a fan! We should find a good piece of rosewood, carve a shelf carefully, and use it as an ornament.

Everywhere in the house looks beautiful.”

Qiao Yun smiled and said: "It's a pity that I couldn't get any good wood! I could only afford a jade bamboo fan handle, so I made a fan with the handle."

"I do have an ornament like this, but the middle is embedded with ordinary embroidery. Girl, if you allow me to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, I will take the initiative to dismantle the fan, reassemble it into an ornament, and bring it to the governor's wife as a congratulatory gift.

"

"Of course, this book is for you. It has nothing to do with me how you want to deal with it." Qiao Yun smiled with her eyes crooked, and she didn't mind at all.

What's more, this fan is meant to be made into a pendant or ornament in the game. It would be a waste of resources to use such a good embroidery as a fan that is exposed to wind and sun all day long.

The surprise in Mrs. Lu's eyes was even greater. She quickly ordered the maid to take down the fan and invite the craftsman to come. She also told her to be careful and not to damage the embroidery on it.

Now the gift is really foolproof.

She was so anxious these days that she almost had a mouthful of bubbles!

Looking at Qiao Yun again, she felt that this girl was particularly pleasing to the eye.

That's why she doesn't want to worry about the unclear things between her and her son.

Meng Shaoheng has a face that attracts bees and butterflies, and she likes to go out and hang out. If she were an ordinary commoner who didn't have long eyes and wanted to climb high branches, she would definitely use thunderous means to stop those little hooves from thinking. But now this person is

Qiao Yun, she just decided to send her away.

"If this embroidery really wins the favor of the governor's wife, I will make peace with you. At that time, you can go to work in the needlework bureau of the governor's mansion. What do you think? Jiangzhou mansion is big and lively, and there are only a few people in the governor's mansion.

It's very leisurely to serve the governor's wife. With your skills, you have to accept the reward from the governor's wife! This is better than shrinking in such a small county town and selling wontons outside every day!"

The daughter of a merchant family hooked up with the magistrate of the county magistrate, wasn't she looking for a future with no worries about food and clothing? Lu's move was to wait until the girl saw how big the world was outside, so that she would not take the magistrate's palace to the next level.

The husband takes it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yun shook her head.

"Thank you madam for your kindness. But I have other plans to stay in Quwo right now."

"Oh?" Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows. Jiangzhou is a Shangzhou, and the governor of Jiangzhou is a high-ranking official of the third rank! Who wouldn't be greedy to work for the wife of the governor of Jiangzhou? She would like to hear what this girl thinks.

Yes, he actually refused such a good job.

Qiao Yun replied neither arrogantly nor arrogantly: "Everything must be done down to earth. This kind of Shu embroidery was only circulated in Yizhou before, and it is rare in Hebei Province. If I listen to my wife, then I will only have the governor's wife as my customer."

, not to mention that from now on, everything must be subject to other people's preferences. I will work hard to make my embroidery work popular with everyone based on my own skills. Rather than just serving the governor's wife, that will be a great blessing."

"What you said is quite right!" Mrs. Lu showed an approving look.

If Qiao Yun really took the olive branch she extended, she would be sure that this girl really just didn't want to work hard and was greedy for glory, so the matter of seducing her son was not out of the question.

But Qiao Yun did not disappoint her. He was a good child.

"But how tiring is this? You have to sell wontons and find time to do needlework. How can you keep busy? You are only eleven years old. It's time to grow up. Don't get sick just to save money. It's not worth it.

.”

"It depends on you, madam." Qiao Yun showed a flattering smile.
