I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 53 First Show of Skills

"Oh?" Madam Lu was startled for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "You mean that facial ointment? Okay! I can really help you with this."

"What kind of ointment?" Meng Shaoqing heard the unfamiliar words and asked quickly.

"This is the skin care ointment that your sister Ah Yun poured out. She said it is better than camellia oil. I haven't tried it. I will try it when I get up tomorrow. Yun Yatou gave me two boxes and I will get one for you later.

Box, you can try it too."

"Well, Sister Ayun is really good at everything." Meng Shaoqing enviously put her arms on the table to support her face, looked at Yun Xuemei, whose presence was almost transparent, and asked curiously: "

Aunt Yun, are you from Yizhou? Is the accent in Yizhou very similar to Mandarin?"

She didn't know what the pronunciation of Yizhou dialect was, but Yun Xuemei had always spoken an extremely pure Heluo Yayin, and Yun Xuemei's unusual demeanor made her always think that Qiao Yun's mother-in-law must have come from

He came from Chang'an or Luoyang, or at least he was from Taiyuan Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, it was Yizhou!

Although she has not read many books, she also knows that Yizhou is thousands of miles away in the land of Bashu!

"It's just that my family has always spoken Mandarin since I was a child." Yun Xuemei smiled faintly and did not reveal much.

Meng Shaoqing was eager for knowledge, so she asked: "What is Yizhou like? Is it really as difficult as Li Taibai's poem said: the road to Shu is difficult to reach the sky?"

Yun Xuemei tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying: "If we take the land route, that is indeed the case. But the water route is not the case. Except for the Xiling Gorge, which is more dangerous, the rest of the Yangtze River is smooth."

"Dangerous? Waterway danger refers to the rapid flow of water, so isn't it still easier to get out of Bashu than to get in?"

"That's right." Yun Xuemei was very surprised to see that this girl actually thought this way. So she pointed out, "If you are interested in hydrology and geography, you can read "Shui Jing Zhu"."

Meng Shaoqing blinked.

Shui Jing Zhu, she remembered that this seemed to be the book that her brother had to memorize in geography class when he was studying, so she would borrow a few books from her brother to read.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but said: "It would be a good thing if you could calm down and read. Don't bother your brother all day long and disturb his reading."

"Humph." Meng Shaoqing pouted her little mouth, "If it weren't for him, even Xiu Mu wouldn't let me play..."

While Qiao Yun was happily listening to the two cute ones, one big and one small, whispering in her ears, her eyes were fixed on the snacks on the short table.

Originally, she had thought about whether these snacks could follow the same path as facial ointment, and asked her to recommend it to the ladies of the country squires, but now she suddenly no longer planned to do so.

It is true that with Mrs. Lu, a reputable female family member in Quwo County, the squires would not dare to disobey her words. Moreover, if she only provided orders from these families, she would be much more relaxed.

But after she declined the embroidery work just now, she suddenly thought, if embroidery is like this, wouldn't snacks be like that too?

If you want to expand your wealth, you must follow the people's line!

But the specific details need to be carefully planned.

After lunch, the county magistrate's wife was a little tired and wanted to take a nap. Meng Shaoqing took Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei back to her Shaofangyuan.

In ancient times, when you were not busy, you were really free.

Qiao Yun had nothing to do and wanted to go to the kitchen to finalize the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner. However, Meng Shaoqing wanted to pull Qiao Yun to do needlework together: "Good sister, your embroidery skills are so good, can you embroider a fan for me?"

ah?"

Qiao Yun originally wanted to refuse, but she felt that if she refused now and didn't prove herself, the origin of the peacock flying southeast fan might be doubtful in the eyes of the county magistrate's wife.

"All right."

Qiao Yun sighed and had no choice but to lean on her, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the bed together. Meng Shaoqing quickly asked the maid to bring her embroidery thread patterns, and specifically asked the maid to divide the threads.

"The traditional patterns in Shu embroidery are not quite the same as those in Su embroidery, but there are some similarities, so let's use this one." Qiao Yun looked over the patterns handed over by the maid. Most of them were of ladies, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc.

It was too troublesome to draw the flowers now, so Qiao Yun reluctantly chose a pair of peonies. The maid had traced these patterns on the silk in advance.

"There are many stitches in Shu embroidery. Now I only embroider this fan. It would be pointless to spend too much time. I will use the most basic stitches for you!"

Meng Shaoqing nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Yun threaded a piece of green silk thread and began to embroider leaves first.

After the first few injections, Meng Shaoqing exclaimed: "Why do you start injections from the inside?"

Just when Qiao Yun was about to fall into trance, there was such a blast in her ears that she almost broke her needle.

She raised her head and said angrily: "Sichuan embroidery is like this, why are you so fussy? You almost broke the embroidery!"

Meng Shaoqing realized that she was being reckless and quickly covered her mouth: "I won't say anything anymore, you can continue to embroider~"

Qiao Yun then lowered her head and started embroidering seriously.

The snow outside has fallen on the ground, and the vast white blanket makes the room very bright without the need to light candles.

Different from these embroidery girls who just kill time, when she first learned Shu embroidery, she had to take the exam in class! Therefore, efficiency is also extremely important, not to mention she was also an excellent question maker in the Shu embroidery class. She was very fast in terms of speed.

She was extremely capable of writing books, which made several students of that time live in her shadow.

Qiao Yun's needles are flying, she lays the needles diagonally to lay the background color, the needles blur the color, blur the light and shadow on the needles, and the rolling needle outlines the leaf veins...

It's dazzling. The key is that there is no mistake at all. Even changing the color is a breeze. Ordinary ladies do embroidery and change the color of the needle, but the maid does it for them. However, Qiao Yun can do it herself faster than the maid.

, the extremely thin silk thread easily passed through the eye of the needle with a twist in her hand, which was extremely admirable.

Meng Shaoqing was stunned and didn't even dare to express her anger. The maid who was helping to stretch the silk thread looked straight in her eyes.

Not to mention these two, Yun Xuemei couldn't help but hold her breath.

For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The only sounds left were the rustling of snowflakes outside the window and the crackling of the charcoal fire in the heater inside.

"alright!"

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yun finished the last stitch and finished with satisfaction. She took off the silk from the embroidery fabric.

"Is this good?" Meng Shaoqing looked out the window in shock.

Grandma usually only sleeps for half an hour during the afternoon nap. Now she hasn’t woken up yet. She has finished her embroidery now?

"Yeah. Now, let's take it and make a fan." Qiao Yun handed the peony flower to Meng Shaoqing, rubbed her sore shoulders and stretched. It's been a long time since she lowered her head for so long. She's not used to it.

of.

While she was stretching, she took a look inside her gaming backpack - the system time was displayed on the backpack interface. Qiao Yun took a closer look and saw that an hour had passed.

It seems that she is really skilled! It took her an hour to embroider such a palm-sized peony flower, which was far less efficient than when she took the graduation exam in the Shu embroidery class.

Alas, it seems that this farm girl's body is still not in good condition.

Meng Shaoqing took the peony painting blankly and looked at it for a long time. Then she recovered from the shock and was ecstatic. In a hurry, she went around behind Qiao Yun and patted her shoulders in person. She said with a flattering smile: "Ah

Sister Yun, good sister! You are simply my biological sister!"

"When did your mother-in-law come out with a daughter as big as mine again?" Qiao Yun found it quite funny.

Meng Shaoqing held this piece of silk as if she had found a treasure: "I'll show it to my mother!"

After saying that, he jumped off the couch and ran out...
