Chapter 1120 What if the disabled boss can’t get better? (15)
Ruan Xi is indeed a master of embroidery. She has a classical, elegant and quiet temperament. Even though she is in her fifties or sixties, she is still energetic. Her silver hair is combed meticulously. Her elegant face is no longer young, but the beauty of her youth can still be vaguely seen. The saying "time cannot defeat beauty" seems to be tailor-made for her.
"You are Xiao Xiang, right? You have worked hard along the way. These two must be your lover and younger brother." Ruan Xi said to Xiang Shichu with a friendly smile, and also greeted Ye Jin and Xiang Nan, "You have worked hard along the way."
Xiang Shichu: "Sister Ruan Xi, I finally meet you. As soon as I saw you, I felt that you are indeed a master of embroidery, and you are full of the temperament of an artist."
Ruan Xi smiled even more happily, and said with a smile: "Shichu, you are really good at talking. What do you mean by an artist? I am just an ordinary embroidery worker. You still call me sister, which really makes me look younger. Then I will not refuse and will shamelessly call you sister."
Xiang Shichu had a very pleasant chat with Ruan Xi in the letters, and they even sent each other their embroidery works. They admired each other very much, so after chatting for a few sentences, she and Ruan Xi hit it off.
Ruan Xi took Xiang Shichu and the other two to the hotel she had helped book in advance. After they had their meal, they chatted for a while before saying goodbye, allowing the family to rest for a day. After all, sitting on the train for a whole day would make people physically and mentally exhausted.
The next day, Xiang Shichu was going to visit and communicate with Ruan Xi in her studio. As this was a serious matter, Ye Jin and Xiang Nan did not go with them. Instead, they asked Ruan Xi about the nearby attractions and went out to play.
"Shichu, the embroidery you sent me is so perfect that I can't just enjoy it by myself, so I hung it up for everyone to enjoy and learn your techniques. Do you mind?" Ruan Xi took Xiang Shichu to her studio and pointed to the "Bridge and Flowing Water" in the conference room. She said embarrassedly, "I acted first and asked for your permission later. If you mind, I'll take it down now."
Although Ruan Xi said this, he did not hide the regret in his eyes at all. Xiang Shichu was not a narrow-minded person who would not allow others to learn his skills, so he said: "It's not necessary. It's my honor that everyone respects and appreciates my work. Why would I mind so much?"
"That's good." Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then talked to her about the techniques she used in this work...
While they were chatting, a young girl in her twenties walked in. Seeing Xiang Shichu, she immediately asked excitedly, "Are you the author of this painting "Small Bridge and Flowing Water"? "
Xiang Shichu nodded. She became even more excited and her face turned red. She couldn't wait to ask: "Can I ask you how you embroidered the curved patterns on the rocks at the bottom of the stream reflected by the waves? I tried to embroider like you, but I couldn't achieve the effect of your work..."
Xiang Shichu smiled and said, "Can you show me the ones you embroidered before? Only after I see your work can I know where the problem lies."
"Sure! I'll get it right away." The girl turned around and ran away excitedly.
Ruan Xi said embarrassedly: "This kid is really something, he is so impetuous and can't calm down at all."
"She is so eager to learn, she will definitely inherit your skills in the future." Xiang Shichu said, "Besides, didn't you invite me here just to communicate? This is communication."
As they were talking, the girl came in with her work, followed by several shy girls, who surrounded Xiang Shichu and Ruan Xi, obviously not wanting to miss out on Xiang Shichu's personal teaching experience.
Xiang Shichu was not reserved and began to explain the girl's work. She had accumulated embroidery experience in countless worlds, so it was no problem for her to teach a few juniors. So soon, Ruan Xi's conference room became a temporary open embroidery class.
Xiang Shichu was working as an embroidery teacher, and Ye Jin and Xiang Nan, the brother-in-law and nephew, lived a very carefree life. When Xiang Nan saw the black-sailed boat floating in the river, he couldn't move and insisted on going on to sit on it.
Ye Jin had no choice but to rent a small boat and take him up there to experience the feeling of riding a boat.
"Grandpa, can you row the boat faster?" Xiang Nan asked the old boatman, blinking his beautiful big eyes.
The old boatman said with a smile: "Yes, but dear, you better sit still, or I will row too fast and you will fall into the river by accident."
"No, my brother-in-law will hold me back." Xiang Nan grabbed Ye Jin's clothes very cleverly.
Ye Jin tapped his little head with his fingers, then said to the old boatman, "Old sir, you don't have to listen to him. Just row the boat the way you want. Rowing too fast is unsafe and too tiring. Just take it slow."
Xiang Nan dropped his shoulders in disappointment when he heard this. Ye Jin said to him seriously, "Grandpa will be very tired if you row too fast. You have to make requests within a reasonable range, understand?"
"I understand." Xiang Nan nodded in response.
Seeing him like this, the old boatman said quickly: "My dear, I have a lot of snacks on my boat. You can eat them while sitting on the boat. That's what we call enjoyment. As for young man, you can drink tea or wine if you want. I have some too. They are under the coffee table. You can take them out..."
"Thank you, old sir." Ye Jin thanked him hurriedly, then took out some snacks and coaxed Xiang Nan. Sure enough, he had food and drinks, and sitting on the boat enjoying the cool breeze, he suddenly became happy again.
Ye Jin took some tea leaves to make tea himself and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
Xiang Shichu stayed in Ruan Xi's studio for three consecutive days to communicate. On the fourth day, she and Ruan Xi finally had some free time. Ruan Xi, with an apologetic attitude, acted as a good host and took their family to many famous attractions.
After playing for three days, Xiang Shichu had to end her trip to Nanjiang. Ruan Xi regarded her as a close friend and was reluctant to let her go. He wished she could stay and keep him company, but he knew that was impossible at this time, so he had to see her off reluctantly.
"The painting 'Bridge over Flowing Water' will be exhibited at the National Embroidery Exhibition next month, so I can't return it to you for the time being. But don't worry, I will keep it well." Ruan Xi said finally.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Xiang Shichu was not worried about this work. After all, Ruan Xi cared more about "Bridge over Flowing Water" than he did.
After getting on the train, Xiang Nan looked out the window reluctantly, then turned back and asked Xiang Shichu: "Sister, when can we come again next time?"
Xiang Shichu found it funny and said, "You haven't left yet, but you're already thinking about coming back next time? Do you like Nanjiang so much?"
"I like it. There are fun things and delicious food here..." For children, a place they like is a place where they can have fun and eat happily.
