Chapter 325 Beining Mansion 8
Yiyi greeted the young lady and said gratefully, "Miss, I will serve you wholeheartedly."
After saying this, he pushed the door open and was about to leave, then turned back and reported:
"Miss, someone came and said that you need it urgently. Your cousin looked at your drawings and made it himself. He wanted to ask if you can use it. The person is waiting outside the door."
"Zhu Yu told him to come back in an hour. I have something for him to present to his uncle."
Wang Jinyi turned around and asked:
"Does mother have any embroidery thread or colored silk thread?"
Both mother and Zhu Yu looked confused, not knowing why they were suddenly asked to use the line.
Even though it was the first time for my cousin to make a crochet hook, he knew that as long as he drew a rough outline and wrote "the same as a fish hook", he could basically use it after copying it.
You just need to polish it as you use it until it becomes easy to use.
The mother searched through the bag she was carrying and picked out several brightly colored cotton threads. She also complained to her daughter regretfully: "If only we were at home, we could get everything at home."
Wang Jinyi smiled nonchalantly, found a pea green cotton yarn, tied a knot, and then put the hook into it. Zhu Yu asked in confusion:
"Miss, what new thing are you doing?"
Wang Jinyi had a faint smile on his face, but he didn't answer, but kept moving his hands.
After a while, a small and delicate lace turned into a small flower hat. As soon as the prototype was crocheted, the mother took it over:
"Just repeat this over and over again, Jin'er, take a look, right?!"
"Right, that is it!"
I have to say that women who are good at handwork can learn crocheting or knitting very quickly. Look, my mother learned it right away!
From that moment on, everyone around Wang Jinyi started practicing crochet. Her mother became the technical instructor, supervising Bai Zhu, Wu Mei, Wang Qiyue, and Yiyi, as they learned to crochet with flat stitches, and then turned the flat stitches into flowers, and then connected the flowers into patterns.
Not long after starting, Wu Mei and Wang Qiyue were eliminated. Why? Their hands were clumsier than their feet, so they had to be eliminated first.
So a hat-crocheting group was formed, with a total of 4 people. The mother was responsible for making the basic style with the pattern drawn by Wang Jinyi, and then instructing Zhu Yu and Bai Zhu to change the color and pattern and then crochet two special colors.
Yiyi is in elementary school and is very fast at learning. Based on the basic styles, she can crochet special patterns under the guidance of the young lady.
It only took half a day to crochet a set of three-color cotton hats using different stitches. Later, Wang Jinyi began to create shapes. There were two types of shapes: cute and flowery shapes and fruit shapes.
It was not until someone came to inform that his uncle was still waiting for his opinion on the crochet hook that Wang Jinyi remembered that there was a servant waiting outside the door for an hour to hear feedback.
So she busied herself picking out from the dozen or so crocheted hats, putting three in a group, and picked out two groups, sending them to the clan elders and her uncle respectively, so that her superiors could have a concrete feeling.
They said that it was to give them an impression, but Zhu Yu and Yi Yi, who had sent the samples, brought back a message asking Wang Jinyi to go to the main hall of Beining Wang's residence.
The mother is a female member of the family and cannot go to the front yard without permission. This is when the advantage of having a martial maid around comes into play.
Zhu Yu led the way in front, Yuqing was beside Wang Jinyi, followed by Yiyi holding the drawings and Fengmei holding the samples.
This was the first time Wang Jinyi had gone out and seen the yard where she lived since she was injured and moved into the embroidery room.
There is a Qinfang Pavilion in the yard, surrounded by a pond with two rows of weeping willows mixed with peach and apricot trees by the pond, extending all the way to the red-railed plank bridge.
After crossing the bridge, there are exquisite rocks and bluestone paths. The road becomes wider and wider, with lush flowers and trees. There are many exotic flowers and plants, some with vines, some hanging down from the mountains and covering the walls, and some hanging down from the eaves through the stones. The scenery in front of the boudoir is beautiful and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere.
There are four flower beds in front of the door, planted with flowers of all seasons. In the autumn in the north, as soon as you leave the boudoir, you will see a sea of flowers.
The boudoir is a five-room building connected by a corridor, with green windows and oil-painted walls, an elegant look.
There is a step at the gate of the courtyard, and vermilion columns support the upturned eaves inside and outside the gate.
After leaving the courtyard, I looked back at the pink walls, black tiles, red doors and painted plaques. On the gate were elegant characters: Qinfangzhai
Wang Jinyi was touched. The Xunyang Wang family was also a high-ranking official's residence, but compared with the wealthy Beining Wang family, it was really a bit shabby.
This may be what people often say, compare people and compare goods!
This house is more suitable for middle-aged people whose life is settled, and is definitely not suitable for young people who are just beginning to understand the world and still need to work hard.
Everything is within reach, so why bother working hard?!
As he walked and thought, he came out of the back garden and reached the second gate. The gatekeeper at the gate had received the news long ago, so she opened the door and waited respectfully. When she saw Wang Jinyi passing by, she bowed and saluted.
Outside the second gate, my cousin Wang Shuyi brought two maids to welcome Miss Wang from Xunyang.
As soon as they met, Wang Jinyi bowed and greeted according to the clan etiquette, and silently followed behind his uncle two steps away.
When they arrived at the main hall, Wang Jinyi was led in only after his uncle informed everyone.
There was also a small incident in front of the door.
When they arrived at the main hall, Yuqing followed Wang Jinyi through the threshold. The guards of the Beining Wang family shouted, "Stray people must stay outside the door and are not allowed to enter."
Before he could finish, Yu Qingqing had already strode into the main hall, and Feng Mei behind him also walked into the main hall as if she was not in an empty space, as if no one was trying to stop her.
The nanny who was supposed to hand over the things to the person in front of the main hall followed Wang Jinyi into the main hall, and the people who followed stayed outside the door and waited for calls.
But only Zhu Yu stopped, but when she saw Yuqing and Fengmei entered the main hall, she mustered up the courage to rush in.
As a result, the guards in front of the door became anxious, and three of them came up, each trying to carry one person out.
As a result, Yuqing just raised the jade token on his waist, and the Wang family guards withdrew their hands, saluted and went back to the door.
Zhu Yu was naturally taken out by the collar without any effort.
Feng Mei probably didn't expect that someone would actually stop her, so she didn't take it seriously at all. She just dodged easily with the tray in her hand, avoiding the guards behind her and walked into the lobby.
The guard didn't know whether he should chase into the house. His uncle turned around and waved his hand, and the little episode ended.
He led people into the main hall of King Beining’s residence.
After a round of guessing, I secretly looked up and saw that the clan elder and my great-uncle were all there, surrounded by some other elders in the family.
My uncle spoke first: "Jin'er, while we are all here, tell me what you think. Don't worry, take your time and speak slowly."
The elder also nodded.
Wang Jinyi slowly told everything she had thought of long ago:
"My elders, it was originally because of my hair."
Wang Jinyi smiled as she took off the cotton hat she had just crocheted and casually combed it with her hands. The short hair on her head appeared irregularly in front of the group of people.
