Chapter 32 Embroidery
It's not that Mrs. Sun has made no progress in these past few months. Now that her family's affairs have been straightened out, she has made a few more friends, and she is more comfortable when going to banquets. Even if she goes to a place where there are no people she knows well deal with it.She knew another meaning of bringing her daughter to the banquet, and now she only brought Jinhua to see if she could meet a future in-law who would appreciate her daughter.Originally, her order was officially issued, and she should have a banquet at home, but the order of the general's family at the first level of Gao Cheng Dashan, who can be regarded as half of her boss, had not yet been issued, so she didn't celebrate much in order not to provoke public anger.

In fact, it would be easier for her not to host this kind of mixed-gender banquet at home. She remembered that at the previous banquet, a lady from a family was led to the male guest area by the little girl after washing her hands, and somehow passed out in front of the male guest area.After making such a fuss, the marriage that the lady had already arranged was ruined. If it is said that this matter is not tricky, Mrs. Sun does not believe it.Because of this, the host who hosted the banquet also got into a commotion.Mrs. Sun counted the servants in the family, if someone is looking for trouble deliberately, such a small number of people is really unstoppable, of course it is enough to entertain Cheng Dashan's group of drinking friends.

Yinhua was unhappy about the fact that Mrs. Sun didn't bring her to the banquet. She brought her with her when she went to the banquet last year, and the new clothes she made recently were all for nothing.

"Second sister, how old are you, you just love to move forward so much, you are not chaste at all."

They don't have to go to class when Jin Hua is away, but Nanny Wang will continue to watch the rules of the two.Zhuhua is not afraid of her now, she has already figured out where the bottom line of Wang Momo's punishment is.

"I'm not chaste!" Yinhua gave her a white look, but slowly lowered her voice under the scrutiny of Wang Momo, and said to Zhuhua with a fake smile: "My dear sister, please take a look for my sister. How about this purse made by my sister?"

Zhuhua took it, read it over and over again several times, and finally commented before Yinhua's expression collapsed: "My sister's female red has grown again, no matter how hard my sister practices, she can't compare with her sister, it's just the stitches here. It’s a bit sparse, there’s a thread here that hasn’t been hidden, and the color of the thread... well, that’s all, as long as my sister likes it.”

"What do you know!" Yinhua angrily took the purse back, but was blocked by Wang Momo's outstretched hand.

Wang Momo took the purse and saw that it was indeed a little lacking as Zhuhua said, Yinhua embroidered lotus pictures on the purse, the composition and colors were not satisfactory.

"Sister, look at the new pattern I asked Qiuyun to embroider." Zhuhua is still in the stage of embroidering straight lines with waste cloth. If you ask her to embroider with a computer, she understands it quite well. She really can't embroider by hand.Her clothes are all made by Qiuyun. Qiuyun is also a new embroiderer and spends all her spare time practicing. Now she embroiders better than Yinhua.

The fabrics that have been distributed recently are all brocades with bright colors, and there is a purple one in it that Mrs. Sun asked the three sisters to make a suit for each of them.Zhuhua really didn't know what to say to this rich but slightly old-fashioned color. Fortunately, women in the Kang Dynasty usually wore chest-length skirts, and there was a contrasting color between the skirt and jacket.In her previous life, Zhuhua studied fashion design, opened a clothing factory, and had her own brand. She is pretty good at matching clothes.This summer, the fabric of tulle in Chang'an City is very popular. Sun bought a piece of off-white for the three sisters. Zhuhua made a large-sleeved shirt and there was still room left, so she added tulle to the outside of the skirt to enhance the clothes inside. The texture is also to cover the big flowers on the fabric.

What Jinhua wears to the banquet today is Qiuyun and Chunlu, the girl who is the best needleworker around Jinhua. The long-sleeved tulle shirt is as if it is not worn, so why does she need to add a layer on the outside to make it hotter.At the banquet, not every lady wears a big-sleeved shirt.Yinhua has been jealous for a long time when she saw Jinhua's double-layer skirt, but she had already run out of tulle material and could not make any more.However, among the three sisters, she had both bead flowers and golden flowers, but she didn't. She couldn't help feeling depressed, and when she saw the grape pattern that Zhu Hua was going to embroider on the neckline, she clicked her tongue in disgust.

"Isn't this a string of fruits in the mountains? You can just embroider ingots on your clothes, but how can you embroider wild fruits on it? It's a good dress for nothing."

"Because this fruit is in season and delicious." Zhuhua responded casually.

"But the fruit is purple, and the cloth is also wood-colored."

"I told you that the sleeves should be wrapped with beige cloth." Zhuhua didn't bother to tell her any more, so she showed Yinhua the beige belt that Qiu Yun had embroidered on the skirt.

The pattern of grape climbing vines is beautiful in itself, and the bead flower is an embroidery pattern that Tuo Qinglan helped her to draw. She is not very smooth in drawing with a brush, but fortunately, Qinglan can draw it with a simple description, and the embroidery effect is quite good it is good.Wang Momo glanced at it, and couldn't help but praise that the third lady was much more spiritual than the second lady.

Yinhua looked at her with hot eyes, but she couldn't ask for it, so she bit her lip angrily, bowed her head and embroidered herself, and ignored her.

Bickering between the two sisters at home is a frequent occurrence, and Zhuhua always has the upper hand every time.Zhuhua is not afraid of offending Yinhua, if she is really angry, she will pick a Zhuhua from her dressing box and give it to her, and Yinhua will calm down immediately, the effect is the same as giving Jinhua food.

When Jinhua came back from the banquet, she also mentioned that this skirt was said to be beautiful by many people today, and even Mrs. Yan said that she had never imagined that tulle could be used in such a way.Zhuhua guessed that there should be a wave of girls wearing double-layer skirts in the city in a few days. Should she buy all the tulle in the city and resell it to make a fortune?But with her private money of less than a hundred taels, this kind of money making is just a matter of thinking.

Dazzlingly, it's October, and the city of Chang'an is much colder.People outside are discussing the county examination in September, the government examination in November, and the general examination in February next year.Both the county examination and the government examination only take three days, but the general examination takes five days and takes five subjects.This is the first time that this method of talent selection has been carried out. Some people on the street are discussing the lack of discussion, and some people are discussing the form of the topic.The Cheng family didn't have anyone close to take the exam, so they ignored it and waited silently for the uncle to come to the door.

Yes, during the Ching Ming Festival, Sun recognized that his stepbrother was coming to the capital soon. She was afraid that he would be inconvenient when he came to Beijing for the first time, so she specially sent a young man back to his hometown to pick him up.In early October, Sun Shitou went to Beijing with his wife, children and a cart full of local products.Sun Shitou sat on the shaft of the car, recalling what happened half a year ago, he felt that it was really like a dream. At that time, he thought that life could not go on, who would have thought that there would be today?

Maybe Sun didn't remember, but Sun Shitou knew his cousin. When he was a child, he was quite afraid of this famous cousin. Even though Sun was six years older than him, Sun had already "stopped" when he was running around the village. "Stop bullying children.My sister is not in the arena, but there are legends about my sister in the arena.The children were somewhat curious about the legendary female overlord. At that time, their test of courage was to walk past the pork stall of the Sun family.
