Pei Yan had a strange dream at night. In the dream, he was tightly wrapped in a long scarf, and he couldn't break free. Opening his eyes, he took a few deep breaths, got up, stuffed the soft cloth bag thrown on the table into the innermost of the closet, and closed the cabinet door heavily. calm down.
Getting up and going downstairs to get a glass of water, Pei Yan leaned on the sofa and didn't want to turn on the light. Darkness brings fear to others, but sometimes it makes people feel extra safe. The light that came in from nowhere, flickered and swam on the walls of the house, kind of like… glowing fish
He remembered the way Hua Jin fed the koi with fish feed.
"Tsk." Pei Yan lowered his head and took a sip of water, completely losing sleepiness. Turning on his mobile phone to look at the circle of friends, he scrolled down impatiently, and he saw Hua Jinfa's circle of friends.
Blossoms: Seeing koi is good luck.
Below this circle of friends, Yang Shao liked it.
Yang Shao will be unlucky sooner or later because of his liking for beauty. He threw his phone on the sofa and turned on the TV. The late-night show was not good-looking. He even replayed the opening ceremony of an awards ceremony. The actors and actresses on it were competing with each other. He felt impatient after watching it for a long time.
Insomnia is really annoying.
Squeezing the subway to the store early in the morning, Hua Jin was still a little awake.
"Huahua, are you here?" Tan Yuan's expression was a little unpleasant, "When I was cleaning the store just now, I found that something was missing."
"What's missing?" Hua Jin put down her bag and recalled the customers she had met in the past two days, "Would you like to call out the surveillance cameras in the store for the past two days?"
Tan Yuan felt a little guilty. Yesterday, Hua Jin was not in the store and let her look after the shop. As a result, she lost something, and what was lost was something that was very memorable after Hua Jin just learned to embroider.
"It's the auspicious cloud pattern scarf you embroidered. I remember you kept it in the little drawer here..."
"I brought that scarf home when I closed the store the day before yesterday." Seeing that Tan Yuan didn't believe her statement, Hua Jin smiled, "I took it and gave it to someone."
"Giving it away?" Tan Yuan walked to the side in a low voice and sat down, "Huahua, you don't have to say that the thing has been taken away in order to relieve my guilt. I always remember how carefully you embroidered that scarf back then. "
Back then, Hua Jin worshipped her mother as her teacher. Her mother often praised Hua Jin for her aura and hard work, but she was a little unhappy. Later, she found out that Hua Jin was really talented in embroidery, and she also respected her parents very much. Gradually, he became friends with Hua Jin.
She remembered that five years ago, Hua Jin, who had just learned embroidery for less than a year, had already mastered many kinds of stitches. In addition to learning embroidery, she usually read books to prepare for the university entrance examination. At that time, she was a sophomore in sophomore year. She thought she knew more than Hua Jin. When she was about to roll up her sleeves and teach her to solve problems, she found that Hua Jin had a very clear idea of solving problems. .
How could someone with such excellent grades not be admitted to university? At that time, she didn't understand. Later, the two became good sisters who said nothing, and she realized that not everyone is lucky from birth.
"That scarf represents your growth, how could you give it away?"
"What doesn't grow up?" Hua Jin was amused by Tan Yuan's literary statement, "That scarf is a men's style, but the embroidered patterns are too fancy, and I don't have any boyfriends to give, so I kept it all the time. ."
"You have a boyfriend now?!" Tan Yuan's loss disappeared instantly, staring at Hua Jin with burning eyes, "Who?"
"The point is not about the boyfriend, but the fact that the scarf was not lost, but was given away by me." Hua Jin laughed, "If I had a boyfriend, would I still hide it from you?"
"That's true." Tan Yuan nodded, "With our friendship like sisters, if you have a boyfriend, the first thing you should do is to invite me to dinner to celebrate your final release."
"Then..." Tan Yuan approached Hua Jin, "Who did you give the scarf to?"
"Giving it to Pei Yan." Hua Jin said with emotion, "Such a good-looking man, if he uses the scarf I embroidered in winter, it will make people feel satisfied. I suddenly understand why some fashion designers or photographers, Sometimes I especially favor a certain model. The essence of human nature is to like things that you think are beautiful, and you can't escape the instinct of animals to pursue beauty."
"You're right... and it makes sense." Tan Yuan nodded, "If there is a handsome guy who is willing to put the lacquerware I made at home, I'd be happy too."
"Huh~"
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "Vulgar!"
An embroidered fan and a gold-painted lacquer box were sold in the morning. Tan Yuan glanced at the credits in recent months and looked at Hua Jin with a solemn expression: "Hua Hua, I found something."
"What's the matter?" Hua Jin lowered her head and embroidered the panda without looking at Tan Yuan.
"I think it may be useful for you to worship koi. This year is only halfway through, and our income is already double what we did last year." Tan Yuan said excitedly, "We will work harder in the second half of the year, and maybe we will be on the road to success. The future is smooth.”
"Why don't you think about making the panda embroidery screen well?" Hua Jin changed a needle and outlined the luster on the embroidered pattern on the panda's fur. "After doing this, we can take a big step towards success."
"You're right." Tan Yuan used a tablet to open the video playback website. "In order to catch up with work in the past few days, I even forgot there was a star award ceremony last night."
When Tan Yuan was working, he often had the habit of turning on videos. Even if he kept his whole heart and mind, he would turn on videos to increase the atmosphere. Hua Jin has long been accustomed to her little hobby, and continues to embroider her own with a needle.
I don't know how long it took, Hua Jin heard Tan Yuan suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, she turned to look at Tan Yuan: "What's wrong?"
"Hua Jin, look at the cheongsam this female artist is wearing." Tan Yuan paused the video and held the tablet in front of Hua Jin, "Is this the one you embroidered?"
Hua Jin looked at the video, and the female star on the screen was wearing a tailored cheongsam and holding a hand-embroidered handbag. She nodded to continue playing, looked at it carefully for a few times, and then nodded slowly, "It's right in our store."
In the process of making cheongsam handbags, Huajin and the others have fixed partners, all of which are handmade by craftsmen. Over the years, most of the people who are engaged in handicrafts have a difficult life, so when they can cooperate, everyone chooses to eat in one pot.
Sometimes tailors encounter demanding customers, and they will come to them to embroider some beautiful patterns, and they will also put some beautifully embroidered cheongsams or shoes in the store to attract customers.
The cooperation of different traditional handicrafts makes it easier for guests to feel the unique beauty of traditional handicrafts.
Looking at the screen, the actress walked under countless cameras, Hua Jin touched her chin and thought: "She is very beautiful in this dress." It has a kind of oriental beauty, and shows a slender figure. Among the female artists in the dress, it can be regarded as a unique school.
"She's the actress I told you about."
"Which one?"
"The one who was sucked blood by his parents and filled his brother's hole without limit."
"It turned out to be her." Hua Jin was stunned, no wonder she wrapped herself tightly when she came to the store. When she mentioned the deposit, she reacted very strongly, and said she was not someone who didn't pay the bill when she bought something. Some people who grew up in an unfair environment will be particularly sensitive, and sometimes a simple sentence will make him think that others are deliberately targeting her. But often such people are willing to show their generosity when others tell them how miserable they are. This kind of "generousness" will satisfy his soul and create a feeling that I am very powerful and needed by others. So when she said she would be fined by the boss, the actress paid the deposit on the spot.
After dragging the progress bar a little bit, Hua Jin sighed softly as she looked at the female artist who had a perfect smile and waved to both sides of the red carpet from time to time. The beautiful red carpet, the perfect smile, who knows, how much tiredness is hidden behind it
Returning the tablet to Tan Yuan, Hua Jin asked, "What is the name of this female artist?"
"Zhao Ni."
When Zhao Ni woke up in the morning, she received a call from her assistant. The assistant happily told her that her look last night was rated as the most beautiful match for female artists by netizens. Since she was picked up by netizens to wear fake dresses one after another, she has been ridiculed on the Internet.
Some people mocked her for being village and earth, and others mocked her for being a black chicken dressed as a phoenix. The more ridicule she gets on the Internet, the less she can get sponsorships. When she attends this kind of event, no fashion brand on the stage is willing to provide her with clothing. But she didn't dare to wear a copycat dress again, so she had to go to an embroidery shop that seemed to be reliable and ordered a cheongsam.
She thought that netizens would laugh at her being poor and sour this time, and she couldn't even wear branded goods, but she didn't expect to get a lot of praise.
After hanging up the assistant's phone, she opened the web page, and some people on the Internet were complimenting her on her good figure, others on her well-cut cheongsam, and more people complimented her on the embroidery on her cheongsam. Some netizens zoomed in on the screenshots of the embroidery patterns and affirmed that the embroidery patterns on the cheongsam must be hand-embroidered, and the embroidery artist's level is very high.
Is the level high
Zhao Ni remembered the little girl who received her in the embroidery shop. The girl didn't look older than her. This cheongsam... shouldn't she embroider it
In the afternoon, some online video media came to interview Zhao Ni. At the end, the reporter asked Zhao Ni why he changed his previous dressing style and chose embroidered cheongsam and embroidered bag.
"In fact, traditional craftsmanship also has its own unique beauty, but sometimes we forget it. The cheongsam I wear is not only cut by hand, but the embroidery patterns on it are also embroidered by the embroiderer, stitch by stitch. Yes. I didn't know what this kind of embroidery was before, or the other party told me that this kind of embroidery was in the style of Shu embroidery, so I realized that there are different types of embroidery."
"As a public figure, I also feel that I have an obligation to promote traditional handicrafts, so that more people can see and appreciate its beauty."
At this time, Zhao Ni naturally couldn't say that she really didn't have the money to ask a designer to customize a dress for her, so bringing the topic to focus on traditional art not only covered up her embarrassing reality, but also took the opportunity to increase the public's favorability. Another point is that the store made her feel ashamed, and she said a few more words, which was considered a return.
The facts are not what Zhao Ni expected. After the interview video was broadcast, several artists in the circle who had a good relationship with Zhao Ni came to her to ask her which master embroidered the embroidery patterns on her cheongsam.
Zhao Ni didn't hide it, and told the other party the name of the studio.
Seeing that so many people like the embroidered cheongsam made in their store, although they are very happy, they can't wait to run out and say that the cheongsam is from their store. What's more, the popular events on the Internet change three times a day, and within a few hours, the popular entertainment news has become a certain artist falling in love.
A day or two later, there was no change in the store's business, and Hua Jin and Tan Yuan also put it down. During lunch, Tan Yuan curiously asked one more question: "Huahua, Mr. Pei doesn't seem to have come to see you in the last two days?"
"That's weird?" Hua Jin took a sip of the soup and ordered the free seaweed soup that was delivered outside. It tasted a bit like shabu-shabu water. She put down the plastic bowl and said, "I'm a person from two worlds. A good friend not to talk about?"
"But..." Tan Yuan bit his chopsticks, "I think Mr. Pei is a good person."
"If he is a bad person, why would he stand up and stop us when he sees our two girls being bullied by Cao Yi." Hua Jin glared at Tan Yuan, "Don't bite your chopsticks."
"Oh." Tan Yuan put down the chopsticks obediently.
"But I can't really forget who I am just because others are good." Hua Jin smiled, "But anyway, I have known such a person, and he helped us beat up scumbags, which is enough for us to be proud of for a long time."
"There is no such word, only you." Tan Yuan held her face, winked and teased, "Mr. Pei didn't invite me to see the internal exhibition."
"That's also impossible, who calls me beautiful?"
"Forget it, I still choose to cut off your robes with you and kill you."
Between the two quarreling, two men walked into the store. The man in front was in his thirties, dressed in fashion, and followed the man behind him, carrying a camera and a bag, like his valet.
Tan Yuan saw these two guests and knew that they were difficult characters, so she pushed Hua Jin and asked her to receive them.
To deal with these picky guests, Hua Jin is more experienced.
"Are you a helper in the shop?" The middle-aged man looked at the dazzling brocade, as if he was picking on an imperfect work, "I wonder how many embroiderers in your shop are there?"
"Hello, guest, I'm one of the embroiderers in the shop." Hua Jin showed a standard smile.
"You are also an embroiderer?" The middle-aged man looked at Huajin's young face and was a little surprised, "I heard that the embroidery patterns on Zhao Ni's cheongsam were made by the embroiderer in your studio. I don't know who this embroiderer is. Which, I want to discuss a cooperation with him."
"Thanks to the distinguished guests, the embroidery patterns on Ms. Zhao Ni's cheongsam are embroidered by me."
Seeing the other party looking at him in surprise, the smile on Hua Jin's face became even brighter.
This kind of shocking and unexpected feeling is really pleasant, and she likes it very much.
"I didn't expect the embroiderer to be so skilled at such a young age." After the middle-aged man was shocked, he respected, "It's really surprising."
"Sir, you are wrong." Hua Jin shook hands with the other party, and turned her head to see Pei Yan standing outside the window. She was about to smile at the other party as a courtesy, but Pei Yan turned her head and left, as if a horror movie was being played in the store.
What's wrong with this
The author has something to say: Pei Yan: When that woman smiles, I know she has bad intentions towards me╭(╯^╰)╮
