Chapter 221 The No. 1 Embroiderer in Jiang'an County
At this time, Jiang Anning didn't know that she was being remembered again.
As the sun sets in the west, the sky seems to be covered with a layer of light pink gauze.
The thin powder gradually turned into a dark color, and in the direction of the sun setting in the west, it was like a fire burning into the sky, a patchwork of orange and yellow.
The evening breeze gently blew over the beauty's face, picking up some fallen flowers in front of her eyes and on her shoulders.
The years are quiet.
Jiang Anning felt quite emotional: It would be great if time could stop here.
Before the sun set, she packed up her things and returned to her courtyard.
I don’t know what Nanny Gui told Mrs. An when she went back.
But she didn't see anyone making things difficult for her, it was as if nothing happened.
Even the little maids who came to deliver her meals became more respectful.
Just seems a bit raw?
It looks like they are not the same people as before.
Even the waiters in her yard turned into two who looked younger.
Jiang Anning shook her head and laughed, pretending to turn a blind eye to these changes.
After dinner, she lit two more candles, washed her hands again, and carefully applied gardenia-scented hand oil, then sat down in front of the embroidery frame again and continued her previous embroidery work.
It is said that it is embroidered after cats, but in fact, it is not that exaggerated.
I originally thought that I would draw a detailed picture based on Miss An's cat, and that would be it.
Unexpectedly, when she saw the little raccoon slave today, it was like a shadow puppet show in her mind, with many more vivid scenes.
She just remembered a few more cat forms in an instant.
In addition, after being rewarded by [Barrage] in the past few days, not only my five senses have become sharper, but my memory has also become better.
Nowadays, it is no exaggeration to say that we have a photographic memory.
When I picked up my pen, I easily drew the little raccoon slave I saw today vividly.
[Every time I watch the female goose doing embroidery work, I have a feeling of peace and tranquility. I really hope that this kind of beauty and tranquility can last longer]
[Yeah, I really hope this is the case, even if I can only see Sister An Ning doing embroidery every day when I open it, it would be too uncomfortable to have to deal with those disgusting things all day long]
[Isn’t that what you said? To tell you the truth, I haven’t watched the live broadcast for several days just because I’m really bored. There are too many disgusting people around Female Goose]
[Everyone is evil, really suffocating and disgusting]
[It’s really hard to imagine that there are so many bad people in this world! It’s even harder to imagine that so many bad people are surrounding one person at the same time, constantly inflicting evil on people. How desperate that person must be... If it were me, I might have gone crazy, and it would be impossible to be like An Ning. Female Goose is like this, continuing her life calmly and counterattacking beautifully, which is very satisfying! 】
Most of the comments on the barrage were filled with emotion.
As Jiang Anning immersed herself in the embroidery work and became particularly focused, there were gradually more discussions on the barrage about embroidery stitches and the like.
[What kind of stitches are used to embroider An Ning Nu Goose? It’s so beautiful...】
[Looks like it’s Su embroidery? 】
[I feel a bit like Su embroidery... Su embroidery has always been famous for its delicate and exquisite stitching, elegant colors, exquisite and lifelike patterns, and it looks like a work of art. 】
[If you say that, I think it does look like Su Xiu? 】
[But why do I feel that this looks more like Hunan embroidery? It is said that the expert knows the needle technique, but look at the superb needle technique of An Ning Nv Goose. Even Dongfang Bubai will be ashamed of it. Moreover, the characteristics of Hunan embroidery are the transition of shades, uniform gradient, natural light and dark, just like Painting is average... doesn't this look similar to what Anning Nv Goose is doing now? 】
Looking at it from a distance, Jiang Anning's embroidery does indeed look like a painting, with light and dark, and the colors are evenly transitioned from light to dark, with natural gradients. It is indeed very similar to Hunan embroidery, as the barrage just said.
[If I go by what you said, I think An Ningnu’s goose embroidery looks like Shu embroidery style! From a distance, it looks like a real work, but up close, you can tell it is embroidery. Once the needle and thread enter the embroidery cloth, no traces are visible. The colors are rich and eclectic]
[Stop arguing, people have already mentioned Su embroidery, Shu embroidery and Hunan embroidery, so I think it’s Guangdong embroidery! 】
[Okay, okay, you’ve started to analyze it like this, right? Then I randomly added one, I think it is Han embroidery]
【Then I guess Gan embroidery】
The barrage gradually shifted from arguing to playing with abstractions.
A bunch of people started to make their own guesses. At first, they started to analyze and analyze from aspects such as color matching, stitching, patterns, etc.
Later, I just looked for something that no one else had guessed before.
By the end, when everyone had nothing left to guess, they didn’t know who had taken the initiative and started voting.
Place a bet to guess which embroidery method Jiang Anning embroidery belongs to.
Jiang Anning knew nothing about this.
After arranging the embroidery thread, she calmed down and meditated for a while, then began to design, stretch, and outline the draft.
After the pattern was roughly sketched, she recalled the color of the cat today and readjusted the color of the embroidery thread.
It was not difficult for her to embroider a kitten.
But even so, it took her seven full days to embroider a kitten.
Fortunately, during the recent period, I had eaten well, slept well, and felt full of energy, so I didn't feel tired even after staying up for several long nights.
Because this is a picture of a raccoon slave playing, just having a kitten is not enough.
She designed the appearance of another six kittens in different directions and movements, and returned to the embroidery work.
By the time this picture of a playful raccoon slave was embroidered, it was already late autumn.
At this time, there were less than two days left before the birthday party of the eldest daughter of the An family.
Mrs. An sent a maid named Fuluan over to ask her how the progress was. Before Jiang Anning could reply that the embroidery was done, Fuluan continued to convey Mrs. An's meaning: "...My wife said, if Jiang Anning is really Even if you can’t make it in time, just give it a few more days and it will work! Jiang Xiuniang, please don’t put too much pressure on yourself or make it too difficult for yourself. It would be bad if you make yourself sick.”
< br>
"It's also my wife's fault, isn't it?"
"What's more, too many unexpected things happened in the past few days. These natural and man-made disasters were ultimately caused by force majeure. I really can't blame Jiang Xiu Niang for anything."
Fuluan was the maid who took Zisu's place after she was dismissed.
He looks like a very happy and festive person.
Not only does she have a bright and cheerful voice, but she is also a girl who makes people feel happy when she smiles.
It's no wonder Mrs. An likes her, and Jiang Anning feels much more relaxed every time she interacts with people. "Excuse me, miss, for worrying about your wife. I was just about to send a little maid over to ask your wife how she is!"
The corners of Jiang Anning's mouth curved upward in a beautiful arc, like the peach blossoms blooming in the wind in spring, which made people feel relaxed and happy: "What a coincidence. Before I had time to go, Miss Fuluan came over first."
Whenever Fuluan saw someone smiling, he would be in a daze for a moment with unconscious obsession, and then secretly rejoice: Jiang Xiu Niang's smile is so beautiful, as gentle as if it's about to drip, unlike her who is always chirping. Like a broken gong.
Jiang Anning smiled modestly: "It's my good fortune to be the eldest lady of your house, so I embroidered these four screens today."
She seemed surprised and sincerely polite: "It's just that if you want to make it into a screen, I'm afraid it will take some more effort. I don't know how to do this."
"I hope it's not too late if I hand over the work at this time, and I won't delay Miss An's birthday party and waste Mrs. An's friendship for the eldest daughter."
She said apologetic words, but there was no trace of guilt in the corners of her eyes and brows.
Fuluan was quite surprised.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Jiang Anning would actually finish the embroidery.
She was a little dazed and didn't come back to her senses. She murmured unconfidently: "Is the embroidery done?"
How is it possible?
Obviously everyone thinks that it is impossible for a fairy woman to descend to earth in such a short period of time, right?
"Yes!"
As if she didn't see the disbelief and doubt on the person's face, Jiang Anning enthusiastically invited the person into the house: "Miss Fuluan, why don't you come in and take a look, just to inspect the goods first, and we'll go back later. Why don’t you tell Mrs. An?”
Fuluan followed the person into the house suspiciously.
When she first saw the four embroideries, she was so surprised that she almost lost her composure.
It turned out that the embroidery was really, really finished!
And each one is as lifelike as the original.
"It turns out to be true..." The embroidery is finished!
Fuluan came to his senses and restrained his expression so as not to lose his composure.
She put on her smiling face again and said with compliments: "Ms. Jiang Embroidery is really worthy of being the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County. She is truly worthy of the title!"
"Miss Fuluan is so complimentary. It's just a little trick. She doesn't deserve the title of the best embroiderer in Jiang'an County."
Jiang Anning said modestly.
Fuluan was stunned for a moment, then thought that during these days, apart from eating, relieving herself and other daily necessities, Jiang Anning basically stayed in the house doing embroidery work and didn't go out much.
Even if I needed a new batch of embroidery threads midway, I sent the maid and asked the steward of the house to buy them instead of going out in person.
And the little maids who come and serve in Jiang Anning's yard are all well-accounted for, and no one will deliberately communicate with them or reveal information.
It's normal for Jiang Anning not to know about the uproar that has been spread outside.
After thinking for a while, Fuluan smiled and said: "Ms. Jiang Xiu is too humble. Now in Jiang'an County, everyone knows and doesn't know. What's your name, Ms. Jiang Xiu?"
"Even my wife said not long ago that from now on, it won't be easy for me to ask Miss Jiang Xiu to come over and embroider something big for us like this!"
As expected, Jiang Anning looked a little confused.
I thought of something quickly and asked as if unintentionally: "What did you say? Mrs. An is willing to use me again. That is my blessing. How can I refuse?"
"You haven't gone out these days, so it's normal that you don't know what's going on outside."
Fuluan picked up the important things and told people: "...the young master of Jiang'an Marquis Mansion is highly valued by the saints. He has received great grace from heaven and has been granted a marriage to Princess Shao'an and has formed a good relationship."
"Because the young master from Jianghou's residence once had the opportunity to see the Buddha worship painting that was deeply loved by the Queen Mother when he was studying in Jiang'an County. Therefore, the imperial edict has appointed the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County to be the empress dowager. The young master of Jianghou Mansion sews auspicious clothes for the wedding. ”
What does that have to do with her?
Moreover, is there any inevitable connection between the young master of Jianghou's house, who had seen the Buddha ceremony picture, and the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County who was appointed to sew auspicious clothes for his wedding?
Unless...
Jiang Anning frowned slightly.
Thinking of a possibility, my heart suddenly thumped, and I had a bad premonition.
Could it be that the fact that she embroidered the Buddha image has already spread?
What happened during her absence.
Sister Song has just recovered from a serious illness. Logically speaking, she should not have enough energy to take care of these things.
When he was confused, he heard Fuluan say again: "Although we don't know whose hand this Buddha picture is from, it can be concluded that it was presented by our embroidery workshop in Jiang'an County."
"And our Jiang'an County embroidery has always been famous for its broad range and exquisiteness."
"The young master who wants to come to Jianghou Mansion also heard about it when our son was studying abroad."
"That's why this glory comes from heaven."
"In addition, the picture of worshiping Buddha was presented by Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop, so this imperial edict was sent directly to Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop. It just so happened that some time ago, our Jiang'an County organized a competition among embroidery ladies. ”
"In that competition, Ms. Jiang Embroiderer, you came out on top. Aren't you the well-deserved No. 1 embroiderer in Jiang'an County?"
"So the task of sewing auspicious clothes for the wedding of the young master of Jianghou Mansion and the princess of Shao'an is naturally yours."
Fuluan said happily: "Now, you are the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County designated by the imperial decree. You really deserve the title!"
She pointed at the picture of raccoon slaves having fun embroidered by Jiang Anning and said: "Even outside, it is still a little unclear. I want to question your ability. When I see this picture, it took very little time but is very well made." The raccoon slave playing picture will definitely shut up and have nothing to say!”
When Fuluan talked about this, his heart was full of joy, and he looked as if he was really happy for others.
Jiang Anning raised her eyebrows slightly.
The original nervousness suddenly disappeared.
It seems that they don't know who painted the Buddha image.
"So that's it! In this way, this is really a happy event."
Jiang Anning gave a slight bow: "Thank you Miss Fuluan for telling me. It's really because I haven't been out for a long time. I didn't even know that so many things have happened recently that I almost became blind."
Fuluan Shaobu had to say a few more pleasant words and treat others politely.
After sending Fuluan away, Jiang Anning sighed lightly.
It was true that she was too nervous.
They have all forgotten that even Song Yao did not know who the real embroiderer of the Buddha-worshiping picture was.
After all, the image of worshiping the Buddha was completed by two people working together.
And...
