Chapter 204: Wrong, Wrong, All Wrong
Return to Qijunyuan.
Lin Qingjun stuffed all the 7,000 taels of silver notes he had obtained into Aunt Liu's arms.
"Auntie, take these. You don't have to give them to me. Just use them yourself."
"I have something else to do. I'll go into the room first. Call me when it's time for dinner."
Finally, she added this sentence and turned to go into her boudoir.
Aunt Liu was still mending her summer clothes when something suddenly came into her arms and filled them up. By the time she saw what was in her arms or heard what she said, it was already too late.
Xiao Tao and Zhang Mappou on the side were also stunned. What else could that thing in their arms be but silver bills? The smallest note had a denomination of fifty taels?
Oh my God, where have they ever seen such a big banknote? Without saying a word, the two of them went to close the courtyard gate and the other went to close the door of the room, as if they were afraid that others would know about this.
Xiao Tao swallowed hard, "Auntie, these are enough for us to live for several lifetimes, right?"
An ordinary farmer's family can live a good life with an annual income of only seven or eight taels of silver, but here, there is so much, she feels that it is enough for her to live well for several lifetimes.
Mrs. Zhang, who had experienced many things, said, "Don't think about these things. Auntie, should you ask the young lady if these banknotes are really for us?"
Based on her understanding of the mistress and the master, it was absolutely impossible for them to give such a large amount of silver so easily. Could it be that the young lady had promised the master something extraordinary in exchange for it?
Aunt Liu's expression also became nervous. "You're right. I'll go ask later."
If Lin Zhi really asked her daughter to do anything dangerous again, she would not agree. Don't think that she really didn't dare to do it. She just didn't want them to torture her daughter, so she endured it for so many years.
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go cook. Xiao Tao, come and help me."
Xiaotao nodded and left with Zhang Yapo.
Aunt Liu looked at Zhang Mute's back and nodded secretly. She was a reliable person. She called Xiaotao away to make it easier for her to hide the banknotes.
Lin Qingjun had no idea what was happening outside. She was lying on the couch by the window. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face through the window frame. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. She had a pretty happy day today.
Next to her head was the sachet that Ji Chenchuan had stuffed into her hands. She picked it up and looked at it, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Other sachets are made of materials as soft as silk to show their value, or made of coarse cloth with a random mark embroidered on it to be used as a purse.
But the material of Ji Chenchuan's was something she had never seen before. It wasn't really soft, but it wasn't hard either. And the color was black?
The color is another strange thing. Although sachets are not expensive items, people still pay attention to quality. Some people like green ones, some like bright red and purple ones, and some even use plain white ones. Even Xiaotao's sachet is her favorite peach pink. How could he use black?
Not only is the embroidered pattern on black material extremely difficult to show, but even throwing it in the corner gives people a dull feeling.
Ji Chenchuan shouldn't use this material. Even if he does, it should be in line with his preferences, using a material that is simple yet luxurious. This doesn't match his outfit.
Lin Qingjun became curious, so she stood up and began to observe carefully again.
Now look at the embroidery pattern on the sachet. It is not a pattern of flowers and birds, nor a pattern of auspicious clouds. It is a very strange pattern that she has never seen before. However, she can feel an ancient atmosphere from this pattern.
The embroidery is in white, oh no, gold?
wrong.
Lin Qingjun looked at it carefully but was not sure. She quickly took out the sewing basket and fiddled with it carefully with a thin needle.
She is an embroiderer who has an instinctive love for embroidery patterns. Moreover, for an embroiderer with superb embroidery skills like her, once she encounters a new pattern or embroidery thread style, she will be very interested. This is just like a student who loves calligraphy and goes crazy to various temples to copy the names of famous teachers on the inscriptions.
She gently fiddled with the embroidery thread, looked at several places without destroying it, and finally made a shocking discovery.
"OMG."
Wrong, wrong, all wrong.
"This sachet isn't black, and the material isn't cloth. It's sewn stitch by stitch with black embroidery thread."
In other words, this fabric is sewn together stitch by stitch using a peculiar, never-before-seen needlework, using embroidery thread as thread?
What made her applaud even more was that the embroidery on it was not embroidered, oh no, it should be said that it was half embroidered, which means that half of the embroidery was fabric, and the other half exposed outside was the pattern. From a distance, it looked like it was embroidered, and when touched, it also had a raised embroidery feeling. But it was not, it was like a tree growing on this "fabric".
Lin Qingjun would be lying if she said she wasn't shocked. She had been embroidering for so many years and had seen many embroidery pieces, but this was the first time she had seen someone using materials instead of embroidery. It was truly astonishing. She couldn't imagine how talented the person who embroidered this sachet must be. How difficult it must have been to embroider this tiny sachet, stitch by stitch.
She lowered her head again. At this moment, she hated her eyes for not being bright enough. She wanted to see more carefully how this was done.
As for the embroidery thread here, it is even funnier. It is made up of three strands of silk thread, silver thread and gold thread, mixed with a strand of white silk thread. What's more amazing is that the exposed three-color silk thread is perfectly combined with the pattern.
For example, when the gold thread needs to be exposed, the silver and white threads are completely hidden, and when the others need to be exposed, the other two are also invisible. When a transition is needed, the transition between the three is surprisingly smooth, without any abrupt feeling.
Lin Qingjun was completely stunned. She thought she was unmatched in embroidery skills, but now it seemed that she was just a clown. In front of this small sachet, she was not worth mentioning at all.
"No, I have to take another look."
This sachet is an excellent material for learning. Perhaps she will be able to make such exquisite things in the future.
Lin Qingjun just kept looking at it all night, until her aunt outside called her worriedly, and then she reluctantly put the sachet down. She carefully put it in a brocade box. She decided that from now on, this would be another thing she treasured besides the silver.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I'm out."
"Auntie, I'm hungry. Let's go and have dinner."
"Mrs. Xiaotao Zhang is such a jerk! She didn't even call me when it was time to eat. Didn't she say she would call me when it was time to eat?"
She was starving to death.
Xiaotao and Zhang Yapo were stunned and felt extremely wronged.
"Miss, we all called you yesterday, but you said you wouldn't eat if you weren't hungry."
Yesterday?
Lin Qingjun suddenly looked up and saw that it was already bright outside. Did that mean she had been sitting there all night?
