ancient female doctor

Chapter 476
Qingzhu ignored Xia Xiaobao, took out the torch, lit the lamp in the main room, and then went to the sewing basket to find suitable needles and threads.

Xia Xiaobao pouted several times, and found that Qing Zhu acted as if he hadn't seen him, so he leaned in front of Qing Zhu and said, "Sister Qing Zhu, why are you so gentle with Qing Shirt and never mean to him? Just kill me?"

Qingzhu found the small bamboo tube with needles in the sewing basket, shook it twice, turned to look at Xia Xiaobao, looked him up and down, and said: "Our Qingshan is so obedient, so sensible, so obedient, how can I Maybe I’m willing to kill him, but I can’t kill him, and it’s just right to kill you, isn’t it?”

Xia Xiaobao pouted again, and said, "Sister Qingzhu, can we still have fun together when you're like this?"

Qingzhu smirked at Xia Xiaobao twice, and said, "What do you think?"

Xia Xiaobao shook his head from side to side a few times, looking very bored, and said: "Forget it, Sister Qingzhu, you're not having fun here, I'm going out to play by myself."

After saying that, Xia Xiaobao ran out.

Before Xia Xiaobao ran out, Qingzhu shouted at his back: "Hey, Xia Xiaobao, remember to come here later, and help me return these sewing baskets."

"I see." Xia Xiaobao replied loudly, and then ran out of the courtyard gate.

Seeing this, Qingzhu smiled and shook her head, and opened the cork on the bamboo tube in her hand.

Put half a tube of brown rice in the bamboo tube, this is to prevent the needles from rusting, Qing Zhu carefully poured the rice into the palm of his hand, then pulled out two suitable sewing needles from the inside, pinned it to the skirt, and put the rice together with the remaining The few needles that were lowered together were put back into the bamboo tube and the cork was plugged.

Then I found two thick cotton threads, and found wax wrapped in old rags, pulled the cotton thread over the wax, and then went back to the room.

"Miss, let the maidservant thread the needle." Sister Yu said as she watched Qingzhu enter the room and was about to thread the needle in front of the light.

"No, I'll let you see your lady's needle threading skills, and make sure every thread is accurate." Qing Zhu shook her head, then held the needle in one hand and the thread in the other, and kept poking it against the light.

As a result, after wearing it for a long time, I just couldn't pass the thread through. I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and said angrily: "At first, I used pliers for suturing, but it passed through at once. Why can't I just use my hands now? Obviously use It’s better to wear it by hand.”

"Maybe Miss, you are used to holding the thread with pliers, so even if it is better for ordinary people to wear it by hand than with other things, you are not used to it, Miss." Sister Yu said, taking two steps towards the green bamboo.

"It's possible, I'll find a pair of pliers." Qingzhu nodded, then turned around and planned to go out.

After walking two steps, he shook his head and smiled lightly, and said, "It's not in the Hongzhuang camp, where you can find suitable pliers, forget it, Sister Yu, you can wear it." After speaking, Qingzhu handed the needle and thread in her hand to Sister Yu.

"Yes, miss." Sister Yu nodded in response, and took the needle and thread from Qingzhu's hand. After taking it, she was slightly surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, this cotton thread seems to be waxed?"

"Yeah? Is there something wrong?" Qing Zhu nodded, looked at Sister Yu and asked.

Sister Yu was a little taken aback, then immediately shook her head and said, "Well...it's nothing, it's fine like this."

"It's okay, just tell me if you have any questions. If I make a mistake in waxing, you can just tell me. This way, I won't make the same mistake next time." Qingzhu looked at Sister Yu and said.

"Look at what Miss said, from now on, how many times will Miss have the opportunity to take this needle and thread?" Sister Yu said to Qingzhu with a smile.

Qing Zhu looked at Sister Yu, and said in disapproval: "That's not necessarily true. Sometimes I feel that I can adjust it by doing these things occasionally. You can just tell me, can I just wax the thread?"

"Actually, it's not impossible. It's just that no one waxes cotton thread when sewing quilts. This waxing is done for hemp thread, and it's mostly used for shoe soles." Sister Yu said while looking at the green bamboo. .

"Oh, that's how it is. I used to see my aunts sitting on the soles of their shoes at the entrance of the village. From time to time, they stopped to wax the thread on their hands. Later, when I saw that the cotton thread was not easy to pull when sewing a quilt, I simply did it. After waxing the cotton thread, it is much easier to use, so I have been used to it, anyway, the first stitch is from the top to the bottom." Qingzhu looked at Sister Yu and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's also possible." Yu Damei nodded and said in a slightly agreeable manner.

Qingzhu didn't care about it, and said: "Okay, I won't wax the cotton thread in the future, I don't believe it, this cotton wool is harder to sew than that wound." Qingzhu said, smiling to herself.

Sister Yu put on the needle, and then said to Qingzhu: "Miss, why don't you take a rest, you just came back from the town, and you haven't taken a breath yet, and you are helping the slave to make the bed together, and the slave is already very upset. I'm sorry, it's easy to do this quilt alone, you just rest at the side and watch the servants do it."

Qingzhu waved her hand at Sister Yu, and said: "It's okay, if I take a rest now, someone will call me to go to the ancestral hall if I don't keep it all together. If the person who comes here sees that I am busy, they will probably feel embarrassed. Call me. I have also sewed this quilt. Although it is not well sewed, it can still be covered. Otherwise, you will sew four beds by yourself. When will you sew?"

"But..." Sister Yu still tried to persuade her.

Qing Zhu waved his hand again, gave Sister Yu a false look, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, could it be that your young lady can't even hold a needle?"

Sister Yu laughed when she heard Qingzhu's words, and said: "Miss, you are the one who does big things, and such small things are naturally done by the servants."

"As long as I'm happy, sewing the quilt is also a big deal. Come on, don't be naughty, give me the needle and thread. Also, I'll give you this needle and a thread. You can wear it yourself." Qing Zhu said. , directly took the needle and thread she had put on from Sister Yu's hand, and handed to Sister Yu the other needle pinned to the skirt and another thread hanging on the wrist.

Because she was afraid that the green bamboo would be pricked by the needle, Yu Damei couldn't 'rob' the needle with the green bamboo, so she had no choice but to let her go.

Sister Yu quickly put on another needle, and when she turned her head, she saw Qingzhu standing near the end of the bed with the needle in her hand, and the needle pointed a few times on the corner of the quilt.

Seeing sister Yu looking at her, Qingzhu said to her: "You are responsible for sewing the top half, and I will be responsible for the bottom half."

Qingzhu knew that her needlework was not good enough, and the people who made it were not good-looking, so she chose the bottom half, which was a bit self-deceiving.
