Du Xiaoniang looked at Du Juan expectantly. She had never dared to expect to enter Jinghuafang, and this time she got her wish.
Du Juan nodded, "Well, little girl, you can go."
"Mom, I can go to Jinghuafang and study with Sister Juan."
This sentence is very sad. Jinghuafang was originally open to everyone and was a fair opportunity for my mother, but she had to wait for this opportunity for more than a month. Du Juan no longer concealed the truth of the matter, and took this opportunity to tell her,
"Mother, I have to confess something. My silk sculpture skills are not superb. I am also an apprentice at Jinghuafang. I still need more learning. If you want to study with me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do this.
appoint."
"No, Sister Juan, you promised me before that you will be my master."
Du Juan didn't know how to deal with it, just because people in Daming Mansion paid too much attention to the name of Jinghuafang a few days ago, and even those who came in and out of Jinghuafang had some ability. Du Juan had only been here for more than a month. When the princess saw this, she said, "Mother
In fact, none of our skills are very exquisite. The masters in Jinghuafang are only real teachers. There is no master-student relationship between classmates. I think this is good? The three of us went to Jinghuafang to study together and help each other.
, teach each other.”
"That's what An An said, my dear, it's all thanks to sister An An that I can enter Jinghuafang this time."
Du Juan looked around but didn't see her mother-in-law, so she asked her mother, "Aunt, why haven't you seen Uncle Du for so long?"
"He is in the city and won't be able to come back for a while."
"Then...will Uncle Du object to my young lady entering Jinghuafang?"
"He won't. To tell you the truth, he has always wanted me to enter Jinghuafang since she was enlightened. However, she has been unable to do so for many years, so the matter has been shelved. Now that she can enter Jinghuafang, he will definitely be happy.
I really want to thank you two girls for taking this matter into consideration for my little girl, come on, little girl!"
The mother and daughter knelt down together, Du Juan, and the princess hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. Du Juan said, "Aunt, look at you, why are you here again? You can't help it, you can't help it."
"You don't have to be like this. My wife's entry into the studio is all due to her intelligence."
"My mother has made a lot of silk children, do you want to take a look at them?" Du Juan invited the princess, who naturally agreed and walked into my mother's house together. The old wooden frames were replaced with new ones, and the silk children on them looked like new ones.
Wipe it down.
Then the little girl came into the house and said, "Daddy made the wooden frame again."
"At that time, my mother thought that there was no hope of getting into the workshop, and she was depressed for a few days. Her father built a new wooden frame for this and came here to encourage my mother. She sewed and mended these silk children again and made them clean."
Du Juan understood, "Actually, I have never given up."
In the blink of an eye, Du Juan also saw the silk child that the mother was holding tightly in her arms that night. The princess also noticed it, picked it up and looked at it, "Compared to those, this silk child is very fine in both silk cloth and stitching.
It shouldn’t be my little girl’s thing.”
"Why did you put it here?" My mother blamed my little mother and took the silk child from the princess's hand. But then she turned to Princess Du Juan and she looked embarrassed, so she had no choice but to tell the truth, "If my mother loves the silk child, she still has to learn from it."
Speaking of which, my mother was young at that time, and her father worked as a part-time worker in the royal family for a while. Once he took my mother there, and when he came back, he brought this silk child, saying that it was given to him by someone in the palace. It was also at that time
, my mother fell in love with the silk child. Later, everything she made was basically based on the appearance of this silk child. Her father regarded it as a treasure, fearing that it would get dirty and broken. But who would have thought that in these years, my mother would copy cats and tigers.
, I also learned how to be a silk boy, and now I meet you two nobles, this is my blessing."
"This silk child is very beautiful. I'm afraid it belongs to Jinghuafang. However, the silk child made by Jinghuafang a few years ago was only for circulation in the palace. Maybe its owner can still be found?" the princess said.
"No need, no need." My mother-in-law waved her hands repeatedly, "It is indeed her fate that this silk child is in my hands. Everything in the imperial city is a big deal, so how can they be disturbed because of a silk child?
Where’s the purity?”
The princess picked up the silk baby again and looked at it from side to side. "But this silk baby is really the best. I have never seen such a delicate silk baby in the past two years in the workshop. I might as well let my little lady take it with me."
When we get to Jinghuafang, we can use it as an appraisal for classmates to communicate with each other."
"Mom, can I really take you there?"
Seeing the hesitation on her face, Du Juan instantly guessed the princess's purpose, but she still agreed, "Okay, I can take her there, but be very careful not to damage the silk child."
"My aunt takes such good care of me, so you can rest assured. When the master comes from Bianjing, we will study together and practice silk art. By then, my mother will make more beautiful silk children. When I get to Jinghuafang, my mother will be
The younger sister to all of us, and there are many older sisters in the community.”
"That's right, I'm going to be a group favorite!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the princess asked in a low voice, "What is the group favorite?"
What's going on? Modern words came out of her mouth. Am I not in a dream? Is it possible that I'm about to wake up? What should I do? Subconsciously, Du Juan struggled with the dream.
"The group's favorite is... my little girl will definitely be cared for and loved by everyone. After all, she is the youngest in the group."
"That's what I meant." The princess nodded, "I didn't expect Du Juan to be so talented, but this is the first time I've heard that Jinghua Fang will reopen in two days. Congratulations, my dear."
"I'm young, so I'll have to worry about the two girls taking more care of you from now on."
The matter was over, and Du Juan was relieved. On the way back to the city, the princess looked tired and sleepy. Du Juan stopped talking, but the princess said, "Just say what you want to say.
"
"I'm afraid it will disturb the princess's sleep."
"Call me princess again?" An An pouted, with an unhappy look on her face, "How can I be so squeamish? Do you want to ask me why I asked my little lady to carry that silk child with me just now?"
"yes."
The princess explained the reason, "I just want to know where that silk child came from. You don't know there are rules in the palace. Although the silk child flowing out of the palace is a plaything, it is not allowed. I am just a commoner.
How could she have such a thing? Even though her father once worked in the palace, the logic does not make sense."
Du Juan thought about it and realized that what the princess said was not unreasonable. The reaction of her mother-in-law just now made people suspicious.
Several feet of colorful silk cloth fell from the archway, and there were bursts of firecrackers in front of the gate of Jinghuafang, and three gongs sounded to complete the ceremony. The news that the famous master from Jinghuafang came to Bianjing had already spread throughout Daming Mansion, and everyone rushed here to watch the excitement. Inside the square
The viewing area was also opened. This early in the morning, there was a long queue. Officers and soldiers were patrolling, and they kept shouting, "Let's open the queue in one word, and enter the workshop in order."
The stall owners who were hawking at various downtown entrances also pulled up their cars and hurried to the entrance of the archway. More and more people were in the archway, all talking about this grand event.
