The yard where Chu Jinyao lived was also covered with five upper rooms in a row in the front. In the front eaves of the main house, three small roll sheds, called Baosha, were built. Chu Jinyao lives in the main room, with the study room in the east and the bedroom in the west. Chu Jinyao sleeps in the westernmost room, and the west room is where she lives every day. The main hall in the middle is not used very much, but Baosha, where Chu Jinyao does needlework and sees the servants, is here.
Now Lilac and Qiu Ju have brought the needle and thread basket, and are standing in the Dongbao Building waiting for Chu Jinyao. Qiu Ju brushed her fingers over the brocade with nostalgia, and asked, "Girl, this brocade is about 10 feet long. The clothes are meant to be used by guests, and the pleats must be made more finely, at least 2 feet long, and the jacket should be about 10 feet long. It's the outer clothes, and the inner lining has to be cut separately. Do we have to do it ourselves, or do we leave it to the sewing room?"
A Jin Shizhang is only one set of clothes outside, and one-third of it has been used. Chu Jinyao was very sympathetic, but she also knew that the skirts of women from noble families were made very large, and she was going to see her aunt again. After all, it will take three feet to complete the calculation. If there are some mistakes in cutting, it will only be more.
"Let's do it ourselves, we always have to be more precise in handling it ourselves."
"Okay." Lilac and Shan Cha said and took out the scissors, but Chu Jinyao stopped them: "Wait a minute. If you cut from the middle, the material on both sides will be wasted. Once you cut it, you can only make some purses. Give me the ruler." Chu Jinyao held the ruler, gestured diagonally, and said, "Try this."
Shan Cha hesitated: "Is it okay? Good material, don't cut it in the end."
"No, I've tried it before." Chu Jinyao turned out that the situation at home was not good. A piece of cloth was used for many years, and she was sewing and modifying the clothes in the house. Slowly, Chu Jinyao mastered it. sewing. She has a deep understanding of how to save materials and look good.
Camellia still refuses to make it, it is still cloves, according to Chu Jinyao's statement, line and cut. Chu Jinyao and Lilac were paired together, and a few second-class maids also came to fight. After a while, the jacket was cut.
The second-class girl Kikyo praised: "It really saves a lot of money. The most important thing is that the rest of the material is still whole, and it is convenient to do anything in the future. If it is cut into pieces, it can only be made into small things like handkerchiefs and purses."
Chu Jinyao said, "This is just the bright surface on the outside, and the inner lining needs to be cut separately. Lilac, go and get the material of the plain spun yarn, I remember there are some left."
After Lilac came over, several maids gathered around, weighed the fabric with their hands, and asked, "Miss, is this enough?"
Chu Jinyao touched it and said with certainty, "Enough."
Lilac and Kikyo didn't know what to do, Chu Jinyao did whatever they said, and in the end, they were just cut out.
Kikyo sighed sincerely: "Girl, your hands are so skillful."
Next is the cut horse face skirt. Shan Cha asked, "It's made of purple flowers on a white background. It's just a jacket, but a horse-faced skirt. Is the color too light to hold back?"
Chu Jinyao was also worried about this. She carefully looked at the pattern on the fabric and said, "Cut it out first, and then think of a way when the pleats are made."
After the fabric was cut, Chu Jinyao took a piece and sat on the side to lock it. Pressing it with her hands, she tried to fold a few folds, and then drew a piece of satin from the fabric and made a gesture.
Several people of Lilac Bellflower were sewing the edge, and suddenly Bellflower called out, "Girl!"
The maids all looked up, Kikyo came around, picked up the folds that Chu Jinyao had locked and looked at it. Chu Jinyao sewed purple satin on the pleats, extending all the way to the knees, then interrupted the satin, cut the bottom end into a pointed tip, lined it with a piece of stiffer fabric, and finally decorated it with fringe. Kikyo couldn't put it down and said, "It looks so beautiful, just like the peacock's tail feathers. When the pleats are finished, these stiff ribbons will be pressed one by one, and they must be like a peacock opening its screen. It's very beautiful!"
The maids all gathered around to watch, Chu Jinyao demonstrated in front of them how to sew, and then closed the edges. The ingenious maid can read it once, but if she is too stupid to remember, she has to sit around Chu Jinyao and watch it again. From time to time, a maid comes over with a skirt and asks, "Miss, is that right?"
Chu Jinyao gave instructions one by one, and the Baosha was very lively for a while. Chu Jinyao was quick and finished a skirt in no time. She was worried that Qin Yi would be bored, so she took a piece of cloud brocade and filled it with the things she needed, and said, "I'm a little tired sitting outside, I'll go inside for a while."
"I'll serve the girl." Kikyo stood up and said, "Girl, since you're tired, you don't need to take the cloth basket. Leave it to us."
"It's fine, I just sew two stitches." Kikyo took the basket from Chu Jinyao's hand, followed Chu Jinyao into the west room, and put it on the kang by the window. Chu Jinyao said, "I'll just rest here by myself. Go out and do needlework with them."
Kikyo hesitated, but was finally sent away by Chu Jinyao. When there was finally no one in the room, Chu Jinyao whispered, "Are you still there?"
Where else can he go... Qin Yi said helplessly, "Yes. What's the matter?"
"There were so many people just now that I couldn't talk to you. Are you bored watching this?"
Although the jade pendant fell on Chu Jinyao's chest, it was impossible for Chu Jinyao to stay in the house all day without seeing anyone, so when Chu Jinyao went out and talked to others, Qin Yi had to stay by himself, except waiting, everything can not do.
Qin Yi also felt bored. When had he ever cared about such trivial and boring things as women making clothes, let alone watching them do needlework. But he can't go back now, he can only stay by Chu Jinyao's side, what else can he say
Chu Jinyao said: "I think everyone's life is too busy. Today, I have to make clothes, and I have something to do. Sitting like a few days ago is really too leisurely."
Qin Yi agreed. He has been thinking about how to get back to his body along the way. He still has a lot of things to do in Datong, but he can only stay here and spend time with a group of women in the back house. Qin Yi was impatient, but now he watched Chu Jinyao's slender wrists fly back and forth, shuttle in the gorgeous cloud brocade, his hands were dexterous and brisk, and he took care of the fabric in a moment. Qin Yi looked at it like this, and even saw some beauty with a special rhythm, and the dryness in his heart subsided.
Chu Jinyao turned the skirt around, and after a while, she locked one side again. Qin Yi looked at it for a while and said, "You are indeed more dexterous than them, with neat stitches and faster speed."
"What's the matter?" Chu Jinyao said, "I'm used to sewing and mending clothes. Instead, it's embroidery. I think I'm going to make a fool of myself. If I sew clothes and I can't see it, wait for my aunt to come. She asked us to embroider square handkerchiefs, and I'm about to reveal my secrets. The big girls and the others have all learned embroidery since childhood, what should I do?"
Chu Jinyao suddenly asked Qin Yi, "Do you know how to embroider?"
Qin Yi was caught off guard by the question. He smiled and asked slowly, "What do you think?"
Chu Jinyao was not frightened by Qin Yi's swooning cold tone, but smiled: "I see that you can ask anything, and I thought nothing could stum you."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes secretly, ignoring her. However, being interrupted by Chu Jinyao like this, Qin Yi's mood was much better.
Chu Jinyao put the scissors and needles back into the basket, took off the jade pendant, and placed it on the kang table upright. Her current identity is Miss Houmen, and making clothes by herself is just to kill time. If she gets bored, she can throw it to the maids anytime, anywhere. She looked at Yupei and asked, "Have you been in a bad mood these past few days?"
Qin Yi didn't expect that even Chu Jinyao could see it. His energy-raising efforts have really come back to life.
Now that Chu Jinyao saw it, Qin Yi didn't want to lie to her on purpose, so he sighed lowly, "Yes."
Chu Jinyao's heart is very complicated. Qin Yi has been teaching her what to say and how to do these days. She never thought that when Qin Yi helped her, she also had something on her mind.
Chu Jinyao was very moved. She took out the jade pendant from the net, and was about to ask about it, when she suddenly said "Huh" in surprise, "Why is there only half of the red flakes in the jade?"
"That's what I'm worried about." Qin Yi said, "I have a hunch that once all the red flakes disappear and I haven't taken care of them, I'm afraid I won't be able to live."
After Chu Jinyao heard this, she lost her voice: "How come?"
Qin Yi sighed wearily, no longer the way he used to win: "Why did I ever think about it? But I have a hunch, it's probably like this."
Chu Jinyao was dumbfounded, she hurriedly raised the jade pendant to take a closer look, indeed, the red fluff was much sparser. This is just a guess, it may be okay after all the red flakes disappear, but what if
Chu Jinyao was speechless. Although she had only known Qin Yi for a few days, she already treated Qin Yi as a close relative in her heart. When she was the most difficult, only Qin Yi was willing to reach out and pull her. She had nowhere to go in the house, and it was Qin Yi who spoke with her. Although he has no stature and is not even a person, in Chu Jinyao's heart, he is more important than her blood relatives. Chu Jinyao felt that it was good for her and Qin Yi to talk, laugh and break each other like this. She never thought that Qin Yi would leave her one day.
The air was suddenly heavy, making it hard to breathe. After being silent for a while, Chu Jinyao said softly, "Can I help you?"
Qin Yi was surprised when he heard this. After a while, he laughed: "It has nothing to do with you."
"How can it be okay?" Chu Jinyao said, "Since you were born in my Jade Perito, then we are a family. We have been together for so long, how can you say it is okay? If I have nothing to help you That’s all, but now you clearly need it, if I still don’t do anything, then who am I?”
Hearing this, Qin Yi frowned secretly: "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk nonsense like this?" Still a family, no one in the world dares to say such things.
"I know. You are the elf of heaven and earth born by Jade Perry. Since you woke up in my Jade Perry, this is the fate between us."
Qin Yi was startled by the first sentence, but this man's second sentence could make him mad. Qin Yi bit his teeth and said, "I said, I'm not a ghost." What ghost dares to get on him
"Then what are you?"
"..." Qin Yi was finally defeated, "Well, what you say is what you say."
Chu Jinyao still felt that this person was inexplicable, she muttered in a low voice: "I said you are a ghost, you don't admit it, and you don't say it when I ask you. It's nothing to be ashamed of to be a ghost, you see I grew up in a poor family. Well, I never felt embarrassed."
Qin Yiquan thought he was deaf, unable to hear or speak. His self-cultivation has improved too much recently. If it was in the past, who would dare to say that he is not a human being in front of him, and dare to blame him, the prince
That's right, Qin Yi, is the foundation of the dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince who became famous because of the shooting incident two days ago.
The author has something to say: Although everyone knows that Qin Yi is the prince, in fact, his identity has only been revealed now~
Let's pretend to be surprised
