Re-embroidering life

Chapter 148 Twins

Shui Qinghua's heart was in a mess.

If, if Shen Xiuniang is Ji Zimo's biological mother, then many things make sense.

She went to Jiangxia alone, but did not interact with any man.

Because she was not looking for her former lover, but for her own son.

She refused to go to work at Siyifang in Echeng, and also refused to move out of the dilapidated house, even though the poor living conditions eroded her body.

Because only by staying there can I see my son often.

She insisted on living with Mr. Hai for more than ten years, but one day she resolutely left.

Because the Ji family was dismissed from office and their property was confiscated at that time, she got the news and was worried that her son was not living well.

There is only one thing that doesn't make sense. Since Ji Zimo is Shen Xiuniang's son, how did he grow up as the third son of the Ji family?

Shui Qinghua immediately thought of Ji Zimo and Ji Zixuan’s almost identical faces.

No one has ever doubted that they are brothers. What if they are not brothers?

She didn't know how she left Mr. Hai's house. Mr. Hai was so distraught that he naturally didn't notice her, who was also distraught.

When she returned home and saw Ji Zimo coming towards her with a smile, she forced a smile and hid in the embroidery studio, using the excuse that she still had to think about embroidery.

She hadn't figured out how to face Ji Zimo. They had agreed that they would never hide anything from each other, and they had always done so. However, this was too cruel for Ji Zimo. Shen Xiu Niang watched her son silently for seven years and never told him the truth until she died. How could she let Shen Xiu Niang's efforts go to waste?

Shen Xiuniang has been dead for many years. Uncovering the truth will not change anything. It will only make Ji Zimo fall into pain and doubt. Let this secret be buried in your heart.

After making up her mind, Shui Qinghua felt relieved. She took a long breath and walked out of the embroidery pavilion quickly. Seeing Ji Zimo tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, Shui Qinghua smiled and said, "Husband, I'm hungry."

Ji Zimo put down the flower scissors and dusted off his hands: "I left some food for you. I'll go get it."

The development of double-sided three-different embroidery is in full swing and progressing smoothly. In this process, Xiao Hulu's talent and intelligence shined. He proposed that if you want to truly make the two sides different, the selection of drawings must be extremely demanding. The difference in size and composition of the two drawings must not be too great. Now, a solemn and solemn image of Jesus has been selected for one side, and on the other side, everyone has carefully selected a still life painting with delicate brushstrokes from many famous paintings in Jiangnan.

The initial attempts were bound to be full of frustration, with failures coming again and again. After many attempts, they gradually found the pattern of returning the needle. In the process of trial and error, the cooperation between Little Gourd and Willow Leaf became more and more tacit, from the initial stumbling to gradually getting better, until they could understand each other's intentions with just a glance or a movement, and truly achieve mutual understanding.

After nearly three months, this unprecedented double-sided three-dimensional embroidery work was finally completed. Shen Xin and Shui Qinghua smiled at each other, full of satisfaction and pride. From now on, they can add a new technique to their embroidery manual, which will surely become the pearl of Suzhou embroidery and shine brightly in the long history of embroidery.

The sensation caused by the work in Jiangnan is self-evident. Before this, no one had ever thought that embroidery could be done with different drafts, different needles, and different colors on both sides. The unique creativity and exquisite craftsmanship amazed everyone who saw it.

Suzhou Weaving Factory was overjoyed and assigned special personnel to guard it strictly, fearing any mistakes. Later, it was sent to the capital overnight. Along the way, the escort team was very careful and did not dare to make any mistakes. They knew that what they were escorting was not only an embroidery, but also the glory and hope of Jiangnan craftsmanship, which was priceless.

Later, Ye Jincheng wrote to Shui Qinghua in a letter, vividly describing the grand occasion after the "Image of Jesus" arrived in Beijing. As soon as the embroidery arrived in Beijing, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. The embroidery bureau in the palace and major embroidery workshops in the private sector heard the news and came to observe this rare work. Shuntian Prefecture had to send officials to maintain order for fear of damaging the embroidery.

Shui Qinghua was well-known in the capital, and after this incident, Shen Xin's name also became famous in the capital. Shui Qinghua was once known as the "Needle Saint", and now Shen Xin is known as the "Needle God" for his extraordinary skills.

Since then, the "Embroidery Twins" have become the top figures in the embroidery industry of the time with their outstanding talents, and have become the object of admiration and pursuit of countless embroiderers.

There has always been no shortage of people who know what is good in the court. When the Enoria delegation left, the Honglu Temple presented the state gift carefully prepared by our court, and the "Jesus Statue" was the only embroidery handicraft among them. When the delegation received this precious gift, their faces were full of surprise and emotion. They were surprised that our court had such a deep understanding of their culture, and were moved by our court's respect for their beliefs.

The head of the delegation was so excited that he grasped the hand of the Minister of Rites and said, "God bless you! This gift is a symbol of the deep friendship between our two countries. We will definitely bring this friendship back to Ainolia and let our king and people feel the kindness and respect of your dynasty."

When the emperor heard the delegation's words, he was very pleased. He immediately awarded rewards to Shen Shui and the other two. In addition to various honors, he also received 10,000 taels of silver.

When the news reached Jiangnan, the two were delighted. Since Shen Xin left the Shen family, she could no longer access the business of Si Yi Fang, and the cost of medical treatment and medicine remained high. This money was like timely help to her.

"Sister Shui, I don't plan to take this money. I want to follow your example and open an embroidery school in Jiangnan." Shen Xin's attitude surprised Shui Qinghua.

"I have already enjoyed wealth and honor. I have also achieved fame and fortune. Life is only a few decades long, so I should leave something behind. The embroidery pattern is almost finished, and I hope to open my own embroidery school in Jiangnan before I die." Shen Xin smiled. When it comes to life and death, she has always been like this, worry-free and fearless.

Shui Qinghua naturally gave her full support. She gave Shen Xin advice based on her experience in running an embroidery school in the capital.

However, there are always people in this world who do not support.

That morning, Shui Qinghua and Shen Xin were planning to go out to investigate the location of an embroidery school when an uninvited guest blocked the door.

"Madam, you gave me a hard time to find you. Didn't you say you were dying? I see you look well." Yu Hui stood at the door of Ji's house with a sinister smile on his face.

Shen Xin's face turned pale. She dodged his outstretched hand and was about to leave with Shui Qinghua.

“Madam, please don’t go! You are a mother, but you don’t even ask if your son is okay?” There was obvious malice in Yu Hui’s tone.

Shen Xin felt like she was stabbed in the heart. She turned around and looked at Yu Hui, her eyes showing disappointment, disgust, and pity. "Yu Hui, I thought that no matter how bad you are, you still have some character of a scholar. But the way you are now really brings shame to the Yu family."

Yu Hui was so angry that he shouted, "Yeah, I don't have integrity, but you do? Whose house are you living in now? Do you think I don't know? You said I betrayed you, but you are still hiding here secretly and cheating on me?"

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, a bright red palm print appeared on Yu Hui's face.
