Although Meng Yiqiu shamelessly "borrowed" here, she still didn't use her place to receive these people.
At this time, Meng's influence became apparent. Although the work was arranged nearby, several top embroiderers with names and surnames came over one day and one night.
There was one among them, even Meng Yiqiu had heard her name more than once.
This embroiderer's surname is Hong, and her name is Hong Shizhu.
There was a saying among the people in Dayan that there were ten great embroiderers, and Hong Shizhu's great-aunt was one of them. It is said that Hong Shizhu's embroidery skills were passed down from the Hong family, and the peonies she embroidered were worth tens of thousands of gold, and she was known as "the best needlework in Qinzhou"
.
But despite her famous name, Hong Shizhu is now just an orphan. After her family fell into decline, she was recruited by the Meng family. Now in her twenties, she is already the top embroiderer in Qinzhou. In addition, she is very beautiful and has a very famous name.
.
Among the seven embroiderers who came, the eldest was about forty years old, and the youngest was Hong Shizhu, who was twenty years old.
Most of these embroiderers are already married, but when faced with Er Shao Meng's devastating beauty, they still can't help but blush and their hearts beat. Anyone whose eyes Meng Yiqiu glances at can't help but lower their heads.
Looking at the blushing little faces in the room, Er Shao Meng's beautiful heart was finally soothed. Is this a normal reaction for a woman to see him? Poor Mr. Tang, he became blind at a young age.
Second Young Master Meng briefly explained the matter, and then showed them the short robe he had tried on and the sketch drawn by Tang Shiyue.
Several embroiderers then put away their fawns and looked at the short robe one after another, while discussing with each other.
Hong Shizhu was the first to speak and said calmly: "This so-called 'sweater' has such a thick and rough texture. What kind of embroidery are you talking about? Aren't the stitches embroidered so big that it's scary?"
Her chin was raised, her attitude was arrogant, and her tone was very disdainful.
Meng Yiqiu frowned: "Oh?"
Hong Shizhu glanced at him and felt a little shy. She blushed and turned away her eyes, but her attitude was still very arrogant: "In short, I think it's impossible. Although I have only been learning embroidery for more than ten years, I will never be able to embroider like this."
If you spread the word about something, it wouldn’t make people laugh.”
An older embroiderer next to her whispered: "It's not embroidery with embroidery thread, but embroidery with threads of different colors. I think it's okay."
Another person said: "The embroidery must be very rough."
"You can see it from a distance, but you can't see it up close..."
The older embroiderer who spoke before said, "They are all threads of average thickness, why can't you see them? I think you can give them a try."
"It's very different from what we embroidered before, but it shouldn't be ugly."
Hong Shizhu couldn't help but interject again: "Do you know how to embroider? How to stitch on this kind of fabric? The best way is to be neat, smooth, straight, even, thin, smooth, dense... Which one can you achieve?"
At first, everyone kept their voices down and didn't dare to speak, but after all, they were all experts who had been doing embroidery all their lives. Gradually, they relaxed and started a lively discussion.
In the end, more than half of the people, like Hong Shizhu, felt that this kind of thing was impossible to embroider. Only three people, including the elder Lin Xiu Niang, felt that they should find thread and try it out.
Meng Yiqiu kept frowning and listening.
He has been in charge of the business of the cloth shop, so he naturally has some understanding of these things, but after all, sweaters are a new thing, and he is not sure of what it can be.
Since Lin Xiu Niang said she wanted to try it, he wanted to ask someone to prepare a car to go to Yuefang.
Everyone stood up, and suddenly remembered how in the morning, Tang Shiyue was hurriedly looking for help to make soup cubes... He suddenly became unhappy, and changed his words: "Aqi, go over there and find Mr. Tang.
I asked for some wool of different colors and told my embroiderer here that she wanted to try some embroidery."
Azhi responded.
He quickly took out a pack, along with a dozen thick wooden needles, which had obviously been prepared a long time ago.
Several embroiderers immediately started trying to embroider. Meng Yiqiu looked at it for a few times, then stepped away and asked A Qi: "What is Mr. Tang doing?"
A Qi was relatively honest and lowered his hand and said, "She was doing something to eat with a few people and was very busy. As soon as I went there, she told me to go find Mr. Xia."
Meng Yiqiu frowned. Although he knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but ask: "Has she asked me?"
A Qi shook his head: "No."
Meng Yiqiu snorted, and Aqi was about to lower his hands when he heard Meng Yiqiu say: "Isn't there some kind of Deji dim sum shop here? Go pick up some delicious dim sum and buy more."
A Qi responded quickly.
So Tang Shiyue had just finished stretching when she saw Meng Yiqiu coming in with a smile on his face and carrying a food box.
Tang Shiyue poured herself a cup of tea, and then poured a bowl for him. She drank it hurriedly. Meng Yiqiu smiled and said, "Are you tired? I just bought some snacks, so let's take a rest first."
Tang Shiyue hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the pastries were very delicately made and she was tired of being busy, she wanted something sweet, so she thanked her and took a piece to eat.
Meng Yiqiu held tea, stood at the door, looked at it, and said, "What is this for?"
Tang Shiyue said: "It is a kind of soup cube that is more convenient to carry around. When the time comes, just wash it with hot water and you will have all the oil, salt and meat..." She gave him a brief explanation.
Meng Yiqiu nodded and said with a smile: "It's really ingenious. If you are traveling a long distance and there is no inn, having this thing here and drinking a hot bowl of it is much better than eating dry food."
This is true!
To be honest, he looks like a fairy on earth and is so gentle and courteous. If nothing else, it is really eye-catching.
Tang Shiyue reciprocated the favor and asked with a smile: "Is your embroiderer here?"
"Here we come," Meng Yiqiu said, "I'm asking them to try. I'll ask them to come over tomorrow and let's discuss it again."
Tang Shiyue nodded, just in time to hear Xia Yuhui's voice, saying something next door, she went out and said through the wall: "Mr. Xia!"
The person next door responded and Tang Shiyue said: "Come over and write something for me when you're done!"
Xia Yuhui came from the small door: "Little boss, the wine shop is opening today! I don't have time right now, so I'll write at night!"
Tang Shiyue had no choice but to nod, "That's okay."
Xia Yuhui left in a hurry. Tang Shiyue came back and sat down. Meng Yiqiu shook his fan and said with a smile: "I wonder what you want to write? If it's not something important, I can help you write it."
Tang Shiyue was a little hesitant.
To be honest, if this was Sheng Qi, she would definitely have asked him to write it directly, but Meng Yiqiu, she didn't feel very good about it. Besides, the business has not been settled yet... It's okay to just take a bite of his snack and call him again.
What should I do if my writing fails in the future?
Tang Shiyue refused: "Thank you, but it's not very convenient."
Meng Yiqiu didn't force herself and started chatting with her about some trivial matters. When he really wanted to put down his posture to please her, he just said every word he said was gentle and elegant. She was so tired that she didn't even want to raise her fingers. She couldn't help it.
