Chapter 191 New Story 9
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Panyu was a senior. In the spring of that year, she met an art teacher named Lu Xiaojing.
The reason why the two people knew each other was actually because Jiang Panyu thought that he was about to graduate and wanted to take a few photos with his alma mater as a souvenir.
After all, their school had some pretty nice scenery, so she took her camera and took pictures around the school. There were no such things as selfie sticks at that time.
If Jiang Panyu wanted to take a photo with the scenery, he had to find someone to help him. Jiang Panyu just grabbed a strong man, and it happened to be Lu Xiaojing.
Maybe because she is from the art department, she dresses very young and fashionably, and you can't really tell she is a teacher.
Jiang Panyu stopped Lu Xiaojing and asked her to help take pictures. Lu Xiaojing was easy to talk to. After taking the camera and learning how to take pictures, she took a lot of pictures for Jiang Panyu.
Jiang Panyu had prepared a lot of film, and he would take it out and replace it with new one when it was used up. When changing the film, some photos that Jiang Panyu had taken before slipped out of the bag. Lu Xiaojing took a look and actually commented that Jiang Panyu's shooting angle was wrong and that so much film was wasted in vain, which was a complete waste of resources.
Jiang Panyu felt that his photos were pretty good. The mountains were mountains and the water was water. How could they be ugly?
Lu Xiaojing's tone of voice was full of sarcasm, and hearing it made one feel unconvinced. Jiang Panyu didn't know she was a teacher at first, and he also said something sarcastic: "You are so full of sarcasm, if you can do it, then go ahead!"
Then Lu Xiaojing really came up with her camera and took a few landscape photos. Then the two of them ran to a nearby photo studio unconvinced.
After printing out the photos and comparing them, it was found that Lu Xiaojing's car looked better and more artistic. Jiang Panyu was convinced.
Then the two of them got to know each other through fighting. It was only afterwards that Jiang Panyu found out that Lu Xiaojing was an art teacher, but it did not affect their friendship.
Under the artistic guidance of Lu Xiaojing, Jiang Panyu's photography skills have also made a qualitative leap. Maybe he will be able to make a living as a photographer in the future.
After meeting a friend with such artistic taste, Jiang Panyu had been criticized for many of the photos she had taken before. The more she looked at them, the uglier they looked, so she asked Lu Xiaojing to take some artistic photos for her.
It would be best if it could last for decades without going out of style and could even lead a new trend.
Lu Xiaojing was confused by Jiang Panyu's request, but she still agreed to help.
Then the two of them made an appointment to take artistic photos together on a weekend. Although Lu Xiaojing did not charge any fees as the photographer, Jiang Panyu still wanted to treat her to a meal to express his appreciation.
The two of them found a restaurant and chatted while eating. The girls' topics of conversation were nothing more than clothes, money and gossip.
Lu Xiaojing complained to Jiang Panyu: "My mother-in-law used to be a lady from a wealthy family, but the environment was not good in the past few years, so she had to restrain her ladylike behavior.
Now that the environment is better, she wants to pick up her old style again. This year, for her birthday, she specifically asked us to make her a cheongsam.
Just do it. She even asked for embroidery on the cheongsam. Not machine-made embroidery, but hand-made embroidery, and full embroidery.
The labor cost alone cost my husband two months' salary. I don't understand. Our family is well-off, but we are not rich.
Why does she have to have all these exquisite fancy things? If our family were rich, I wouldn't mind if she wanted to make a hundred of them, not just one.
But it depends on the situation. I spent two months' salary to make a cheongsam, and we have to tighten our belts for the next two months. I have this money, so I can buy two kilograms of ribs to eat. Isn't it delicious? "
Lu Xiaojing's grumbling showed that she had a lot of objections to her mother-in-law's decision to make a fully embroidered cheongsam.
Jiang Panyu could only comfort her: "Fortunately, birthdays only come once a year, and your husband has no objection. What's the point of you getting angry here?"
"I was just complaining a few words, but they actually brought these things to the table. If they really said it out loud, I would be in trouble both inside and outside." There was a hint of indignation in Lu Xiaojing's tone.
"But speaking of making skirts, I also want to make a cheongsam to wear. Who is the master craftsman you hired?" Jiang Panyu was also intrigued and couldn't help but ask Lu Xiaojing who the master craftsman they hired was.
After all, it is rare to find a master craftsman who can make fully embroidered cheongsams at this time, and it’s not that they will be willing to work for you just because you have money.
Gao Xue walked in and shook his head and said, "She is not an old master, but a young female master who has gained some fame in recent years.
Her embroidery skills are outstanding, but because she is young and her fees are slightly cheaper, we chose her for this reason.”
Jiang Panyu couldn't help but be curious. You know, embroidery is not something that can be achieved overnight. It takes time to hone your skills. Everyone knows what the situation was like in the past few years. To be able to develop such good embroidery skills in such an environment, it seems that this female master's family background is not ordinary!
After Lu Xiaojing drank a few sips of water, she continued, "Her name is Ma Lian, she's about the same age as me, and she lives in Hulu Hutong in xx.
If you want to make a skirt, I will take you there to see it when I am free."
Jiang Panyu blinked and nodded: "Okay, let's go meet this Master Ma when we have time."
Then the two of them turned the topic to other things, but Jiang Panyu was no longer in the mood to eat. The melon-eating system in his mind dinged again, and another small world appeared.
Jiang Panyu finished her meal bite by bite. After saying goodbye to Lu Xiaojing, she found a quiet corner, sat down and closed her eyes. The melon-eating system in her mind had already loaded the plot of the novel of the Ninth World.
Jiang Panyu opened the novel titled "Traveling Through the 1980s to Love You". After a while, she opened her eyes and sighed, "Poor Lu Xiaojing!"
Strictly speaking, this novel is not a novel. In fact, it is more like a drama or an opera. The protagonist is not Lu Xiaojing, she is just a supporting actress who is hated by the heroine.
The heroine is Ma Lian, who is an excellent embroidery worker mentioned by Lu Xiaojing just now.
This heroine is not an ordinary heroine. Not only is she a heroine who travels through time from ancient times to the present, but she also has the skill of house fighting. She is very scheming and does not know how to adapt or is unwilling to adapt to certain things.
The heroine Ma Lian was the concubine's daughter of a minor official in her previous life. Although her status was relatively low, she had learned some arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, her best skill was needlework.
Relying on her excellent needlework skills, she pleased her stepmother, sister and brother, and finally found a good marriage for herself.
Xia Ting'an was a poor scholar who passed the imperial examination at a young age. Ma Lian's elder brother was very optimistic about him and thought that Xia Ting'an was very talented and had good character. He thought that he would have a bright future but was just held back by his family circumstances.
If Ma Lian married Xia Ting'an, she might even be able to wear a phoenix crown and a red robe in the future. So Ma Lian married Xia Ting'an. Relying on her excellent needlework skills, she embroidered day and night to support her husband's study for the imperial examination.
Ma Lian worked so hard that she almost went blind, but she was finally rewarded. After studying hard for many years, Xia Ting'an won the title of Tanhua Lang and successfully entered the officialdom.
As expected, Xia Ting'an brought Ma Lianzheng a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe. After he became rich, he did not abandon Ma Lian, his wife who had shared his hardships with him, and he still treated her with respect as always.
