Several people praised her again, and Mrs. Qian also patiently explained to them some basic embroidery techniques.
Qibao thought that since he was staying, he might as well listen carefully and learn more.
So she also took the cloth and started embroidering according to what Mrs. Qian said.
In fact, learning embroidery is somewhat related to painting. It is like using a needle instead of a pen to draw the outline of what you want to embroider, and then filling it with silk thread. The only difference is that the color matching is very particular.
In some places, the colors look similar, but in fact, several kinds of silk threads are used to embroider them, so that there is some sense of layering, which will be more flexible and less rigid.

Wang quickly took the cloth that Qibao was embroidering, and immediately smiled brightly, saying, "My Qibao is so clever. Look at the pattern she embroidered for the first time. The leaves are really beautiful. She is worthy of being my granddaughter!"

No matter how modest Qibao was, he felt a little embarrassed by the praise from Wang and the others.
