My wife is a squeamish bag

Chapter 38 Geometric Patterns
"This is an embroidered handkerchief, and it is usually carried around for wiping." Qi Yingxue explained rather helplessly.

"Ah?" An Beibei clicked her tongue, "Then this is too reckless."

"What's the point? The rich and the rich have everything exquisite, and we poor people can just rely on this craftsmanship to make some money for the family. It's the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

"Is this for sale?" An Beibei asked in surprise.

"That's not right. Otherwise, who would bother to embroider? We are not those young ladies who have nothing to do."

Qi Yingxue said with a smile.

There was a little sadness in that smile.

After all, she used to be a carefree young lady, but now she has been reduced to relying on embroidery to earn a living.

"You embroider so well, there must be many people vying to buy your embroidery?"

An Beibei didn't feel Qi Yingxue's sadness, but admired her for being able to make money with her skills. She asked curiously with her bright eyes wide open.

"How can it be that simple?"

Qi Yingxue shook her head with a wry smile, and explained: "In our place, embroidery is the least valuable. Because eight out of ten of the exiled families are proficient in female reds, and the more people who make embroidery, the less valuable it is." gone."

"But everyone does it differently. For example, the one you embroidered, I think it is very artistic."

Rare things are more expensive, An Beibei understands this truth.

But deep down, she still felt that Qi Yingxue's embroidery was different, which was actually just a kind of emotional transfer.

"It's nothing more than flowers, birds, insects and fish, all the same."

"What if the pattern is different? Will it stand out?"

An Beibei had a flash of inspiration and blurted out.

Qi Yingxue was overjoyed, "Could it be that you have a good look?"

"Uh, I don't know if it's good or not, but it's definitely different from your flowers, birds, insects and fish."

"Could it be rivers and mountains? It's a pity that that kind of pattern is only suitable for embroidered screens, and the embroidered handkerchief is too small."

"No, it's a geometric pattern."

"Chicken...and rabbits?"

Qi Yingxue was a little disappointed.

I thought that An Beibei had some good designs, but I didn't expect that they were common domestic animals like chickens and rabbits. Rich people didn't like them at all, they only thought they were vulgar.

"No, no, it's just the arrangement and combination of some simple graphics, such as points, lines and surfaces, or squares, circles, rhombuses, triangles, etc."

Qi Yingxue was dumbfounded, not knowing what An Beibei was talking about.

"Oh, if only I had a pen and paper, I can draw it for you."

"Paper and pen? Wait, I'll get it right away."

Qi Yingxue quickly put down the embroidery, went to Qi Wencai's room, and quickly took out a pen and paper.

Seeing the writing brush Qi Yingxue handed over, An Beibei almost froze.

He just met her expectant eyes, and silently swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He picked up a dead branch that was fairly straight on the ground, and quickly drew several sets of common combination patterns.

At first, Qi Yingxue felt that her painting was too simple and rough, and was very disappointed.

But soon, she discovered the mystery in the pattern.

The seemingly simple combination of patterns can actually show different effects from different directions.

Moreover, these patterns are easy to embroider, which moved her very much.

"It's amazing!"

Qi Yingxue praised, but then couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "It's just that the lines of these patterns are rigid, and they seem to be more suitable for men."

"There are also lively ones, such as spots, wavy lines, five-pointed stars, etc. By the way, there are also chickens and rabbits you just mentioned, which can also be expressed with geometric figures, which are very cute."
