Chapter 72 Embroidered Purse

Xia Sichan glanced at Siju and said confidently, "What are you talking about? Why isn't this lady serious? Hurry up and get the sewing basket."

She still doesn't believe it, is a mere purse more difficult than learning calligraphy?Is it more profound than learning chess?

"Shiju, what do you think I should embroider? Mandarin ducks or magpies? How about peonies?" Xia Sichan asked as she sewed up her purse and was about to embroider it.

Shi Ju watched her crookedly stitching the purse, and could only follow her words: "Miss, you'd better embroider the magpie right first, and it won't be too late to embroider mandarin ducks after you are familiar with it."

"Hey! That's right!" Xia Sichan nodded repeatedly when she heard it, thinking that when she first learned to paint, she also started with simple one leaf and one grass.

Shi Ju was arranging her thread while telling her how to walk the needle.

Not long after, Xia Sichan said "Hey!", the needle pricked her finger, Siju hurriedly put down the embroidery thread in her hand, wrinkled her face in distress and said, "Miss, put your finger in your mouth and suck it."

After speaking, she stood up, found a small piece of clean Baijuan from the needlework, tore off a small piece of cloth to bind up her pricked finger.

"Cough, no need." Seeing Siju making a big fuss, Xia Sichan shook her head amusedly.

"Miss, let the servants do the embroidery!" Shi Ju said distressedly.

Xia Sichan waved her hand and said, "No need, I still don't believe that you can't embroider it well!"

Besides, what Wei Ziqian wanted was a purse that she embroidered herself, how could it be acceptable to teach others to do it for her?

It's just that confidence alone is useless, and the first needlework is not so satisfactory.

It's the same reason to practice calligraphy and painting with her. In addition to being talented, you need to practice diligently for a long time to make perfect.

Xia Sichan was also self-aware, she was afraid that Wei Ziqian would laugh at her when she saw her clumsy, and she did it secretly while he was not around.

The purse she embroidered was not finished until the boat was about to arrive in the capital.

However, when Si Ju saw the purse embroidered by her young lady, she couldn't explain it in words.

Is her lady embroidering a magpie or a chick?
Someone who didn't know it was begging for praise: "Siju, you can see that Miss Ben's embroidery is not bad!"

She remembered when she was practicing calligraphy and painting, she didn't know how many pieces of precious rice paper and pens and inks she had.

Nothing was wasted in embroidering a purse for the first time, except that my fingers hurt from being pricked by needles.

Xia Sichan took out a few mint-flavored incense pills from her purse and put them in the purse that she had just finished, and it was considered a success!

After dinner, Xia Sichan squeezed the purse in her sleeve pocket, and followed Wei Ziqian quietly, like a little daughter-in-law.

Wei Ziqian stopped and grabbed her small hand with his big palm. He accidentally touched her fingertips, and heard her softly "hiss".

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Xia Sichan whispered, "I pricked my finger while doing needlework."

"Then we won't do it." Wei Ziqian's voice was very gentle, he looked closely at the wound on her fingertips, and immediately told Kang Cheng, who was far away, "Go and get the loose jade ointment." After speaking, he took Xia Sichan by the hand Go to the wing.

"Yes!" Kang Cheng heard it, and thought to himself: Master really dotes on his wife like a treasure, such a precious ointment is actually used to apply the small needle wounds on his wife.

"No need," Xia Sichan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Actually." She held the purse in her hand, and she became timid and lost confidence in wanting to give it to him.

Wei Ziqian saw Xia Sichan holding the purse in her little hand, with a smile on her face: "The purse is embroidered? Thank you, Chaner." After finishing speaking, he took it from her hand,

Xia Sichan's face was a little hot, and she simply confessed: "I'm not good at female workers, I'm clumsy."

Wei Ziqian smiled and said: "Gold has no color, white jade has slight flaws, no one is perfect, and I did not marry a embroiderer, so it doesn't matter if you are good at female workers!"

Then he helped Xia Sichan to sit on the black rattan armchair, his eyes were like the vast galaxy, full of affection: "Besides, which woman can match Chan'er's calligraphy and painting in the beam?" Xia Sichan heard him say this , trembling in the bottom of his heart, he raised his eyebrows and eyes, and he also lowered his neck to look at her, behind him was a dim candlelight, his face looked up from below, it looked extremely elegant.

These words were warm and comforting, and Xia Sichan's heart was instantly melted.
Wei Ziqian looked at his charming and charming little wife, and in front of her, he took off the beautifully embroidered purse, and then carefully took Xia Sichan's one, which was very crudely made. His purse was tied up like a treasure.

Xia Sichan wanted to stop her, but Wei Ziqian had a baby face: "Chan'er, my husband likes it very much."

Kang Cheng quickly fetched a small box of ointment and handed it to Wei Ziqian with both hands, and turned to leave consciously, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

Thinking that he has been with his master for more than ten years, and he has never known what it's like to be fed dog food. He was fed enough dog food for the past twenty years in just a few days on this boat!
However, I am still happy for the master and son, and I finally have a good time with the young mistress.

Wei Ziqian took the ointment from Kang Cheng, opened the lid of the box, and immediately a strong smell of medicine filled the small room.

Xia Sichan looked at Wei Ziqian who was seriously giving her the medicine, and her heart softened.
······
At noon this day, the sun was scorching like fire.

The boat docked at Changheng Ferry, twenty miles outside Chang'an City.

As the most important place in Chang'an, Hengqiao connects the north and the south, and willows are planted on both sides. In this hot summer weather, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the wind is smooth. They parted ways and went their separate ways.

After getting into the carriage, Xia Sichan's heart jumped for joy.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that he was away from home for such a long time, and he wished he could fly back to his parents right away.

Man is also a strange creature. He didn't think of home or his family after being away for nearly a month.

As soon as he got into the carriage, his heart became anxious.

Wei Ziqian looked at his little wife who couldn't sit still and was eager to return home, and bent the corners of his mouth: "Chan'er, are you homesick?"

"Yeah, I've been away from home for so long, I miss my parents so much!" Xia Sichan inadvertently said what was on her mind, and suddenly remembered that she was already married, why was she still thinking about her mother's family like a little girl? ?Then he smiled and said: "Hey, husband, in fact, what I miss most is my mother-in-law."

To be honest, apart from her natal relatives, Xia Sichan really didn't say that to please him, she really missed the princess's mother-in-law.

Wei Ziqian stretched out his jade-like big palm, curled his index finger and gently scratched her white jade-like nose: "Little sycophant!"

She immediately raised her two little fingers and confessed eagerly: "No, I really miss my mother-in-law."

Xia Si's butterfly-like eyelashes drooped and then quickly lifted up, extremely sincere.

Wei Ziqian took the opportunity to pull Xia Sichan to his side, and said with a smile, "I know, Chan'er really misses her mother-in-law."

 Xia Sichan: I am not good at embroidering, so please don't dislike me.

  Wei Ziqian: I married a wife, not an embroiderer.
