He had once yelled these words at her while drinking.
She can't forget.
But he forgot.
Qu Mingjun was choked, but he quickly remembered the purpose of his return. He went back to the bedroom, opened the drawer of the closet, took out a bottle of medicated oil, turned around and was about to go out again.
Qiu Xia knew that the medicinal oil was produced in Hong Kong City and was particularly effective in treating bruises and injuries.
Qu Mingjun hurried back to take the thing out. He could tell at a glance that it was for Zhao Xueman.
He walked to the door and suddenly stopped, turned his head and quickly scanned her. "I have something to do tonight and may be back late. You don't have to leave any food for me."
Qiu Xia was unusually calm, her tone cold and distant, "I won't stay any longer. Please tell Comrade Zhao Xueman that I wish her a speedy recovery."
Qu Mingjun paused after taking two steps. Her calmness made him feel a little guilty for some reason. He explained, in a rare move: "Her ankle is swollen. I was just delivering some medicine to her..."
"Bang!" Qiu Xia slammed the door shut, interrupting Qu Mingjun's disgusting excuses.
Qu Mingjun froze in place. This was the first time Qiu Xia had given him the cold shoulder. She was not like this before. Could it be that she had changed not only her head but also her heart?
Qiu Xia leaned against the door, trying to take deep breaths to relieve the suffocating feeling in her heart.
After making sure Qu Mingjun had left, she took out the handkerchiefs and purses she had embroidered earlier and took them to the next room for several girls to choose from.
It was rare for her to meet a few friends with whom she could talk, and she had nothing else to show off, except for these embroidery works, in which she still had some confidence.
Everything she embroidered was so lifelike that the girls with less skill felt ashamed after seeing it.
Si Yang was amazed at her embroidery skills and took the opportunity to ask her if she knew about double-sided embroidery in Suzhou embroidery.
Qiu Xia ran back and took out a round fan that she had embroidered last year. There was a peony on one side of the fan and a lotus on the other.
The composition is ingenious and the needlework is as if by magic. The only drawback is that the embroidery surface has some hooks, making it look rough.
"Did you embroider this?" Si Yang was shocked.
"I just embroidered it to kill time when I had nothing to do." Qiu Xia didn't care.
Si Yang said seriously, "This is not called blind embroidery. This is called double-sided three-dimensional embroidery. It is the most magical and exquisite embroidery method in Suzhou embroidery. It is called magic on the tip of the needle. It is a very remarkable existence."
"It's really amazing. How come the two sides have different colors? How did they do that?" Several girls followed with surprise.
Qiu Xia smiled sheepishly: "How can it be so magical? I was just embroidering it for fun."
She has loved needlework since she was a child. When she was herding cattle as a child, she learned embroidery from her aunt who married from Sucheng for five years. She is very talented and she learned double-sided embroidery at that time.
Si Yang sat over and said solemnly, "Let me tell you this! There are countless people who can dance better than Zhao Xueman. But your traditional embroidery skills are invaluable. In the near future, a perfect double-sided three-dimensional embroidery can be sold for a price you can't imagine."
What Si Yang said was true. A few years later, after the reform and opening up, many people from Hong Kong flocked to the mainland to invest. They valued traditional cultural heritage very much and not only loved to collect these things, but even a beautiful double-sided embroidery could be auctioned.
In the era when Si Yang lived, such handmade double-sided embroidery would have long been a world cultural heritage, rare and hard to come by. If you come across it, it is basically a masterpiece of masterpieces and is not for sale.
It is truly priceless.
"How...is this possible?" Qiu Xia obviously didn't believe it.
Si Yang smiled and said bluntly, "How about this, you take good care of your hands first, then I'll provide you with the materials and you'll be responsible for the embroidery. I'll help you sell the embroidered works, and we'll split the profits."
"Are you serious?" Qiu Xia couldn't believe it, and the others also stared at Si Yang.
"Of course I'm serious. Don't underestimate your craft..."
Several girls stayed with Si Yang until night fell, and finally there was a lively noise outside the door.
"Let's start making trouble in the bridal chamber..." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
