The first time Su Qingmeng saw Mu Qingci, she took the meat sauce from her hand, then opened the lid and took out a big spoonful of it with the spoon she had prepared.
Mu Qingci couldn't stand the way she was devouring her food, so she said to her, "Can you stop eating like a starving ghost? You're not afraid of salty food."
"You don't understand." Su Qingmeng said while eating meat sauce: "You, a person who eats meat sauce every day, don't understand my mood at all. Um...it's so delicious. Sure enough, it's the meat made by Aunt Meng." Jiang YYDS, I’m going to make a video call to Aunt Meng tonight to thank her for feeding her.”
Mu Qingci looked at her funny and said, "I'm going back tomorrow night. See if you have time. If you have time, come with me. If you go, my mother will definitely make you a big meal."
"Yes, as long as you smooth it out for me this morning, it will be easy later. Besides, Professor Wu gave me the whole summer vacation."
"That's okay."
While Su Qingmeng was eating meat sauce, Mu Qingci simply brought over the project materials she was going to do and looked at them quickly.
Su Qingmeng studied Chinese history, and the first topic Professor Wu gave Su Qingmeng was the study of a certain period of the Shang Dynasty.
Mu Qingci was familiar with this and explained it to her after reading it.
After talking for a full two hours, she left University S and went to the old city.
The job Jiang Zheng gave her was to make an international column introduction to China's four famous embroideries.
It just so happened that S city was rich in S embroidery, so Mu Qingci started with this embroidery type.
There is a famous S Embroidery Shop over there in the old city. Mu Qingci called the person in charge before going there, so just go there now.
The old town still retains the characteristics of the last century, including wide and narrow alleys, blue bricks and black tiles, stone roads, and various fruit tree branches extending from small courtyards.
Walking in such an environment, it seems that the passage of time has slowed down.
However, on weekends and holidays, there are also a lot of tourists coming here to check in.
Mu Qingci has been in S city for so many years, but rarely comes here. She really doesn't have time.
This time she came to Chujia Embroidery Workshop. She was worried that she would not be able to find the place. As soon as she entered the alley, she took out her mobile phone and turned on the navigation. However, the navigation was a bit difficult to use here. It clearly showed that she was only a hundred meters away from her destination. She followed the navigation. When I walked over, I was blocked at a dead end.
She had no choice but to go back and continue to find her way.
Unexpectedly, the navigation kept reminding her that she had deviated from the route.
Mu Qingci was speechless and wanted to turn off the navigation. At this moment, a familiar old woman carrying a vegetable basket suddenly walked over from the side.
As soon as Mu Qingci saw the person, she hurriedly called out: "Grandma, hello."
As soon as Mrs. Feng heard the cry, she stopped and turned around. When she saw it was Mu Qingci, she immediately walked towards her with a smile: "Hey! Miss Mu, why are you here?"
Mu Qingci also walked towards her and said as she walked: "Grandma, I'm here to see the Chu family who opened S Embroidery Workshop."
"Then you're going the wrong way. You can't pass through the alley leading to the Chu family's backyard wall."
Mu Qingci smiled sheepishly: "I didn't know the road, so I used the navigation system, and the navigation system guided me here."
"Nowadays navigation is so unreliable. Come on, grandma will take you there. This is not far from the Chu family."
"Thank you, grandma." Since grandma Feng wanted to lead the way, Mu Qingci couldn't let the old man take her there with the basket, so she said, "Grandma, let me carry the basket for you."
"No, no, no." Grandma Feng waved her hand with a smile: "This basket is not heavy. Besides, you look so beautiful in this dress. There is dust on the basket. Don't make the clothes dirty."
"No, I just need to pay attention."
After saying that, he took the basket from her.
Grandma Feng didn't insist anymore. She looked at Mu Qingci while walking, her face burst into laughter, and she liked it more and more.
I can't help but feel regretful that I have a boyfriend.
With a smile on his face, he said: "You helped me last time, but I didn't even have time to thank you."
The old lady took her towards an alley and asked as she walked: "What is Miss Mu looking for from the Chu family? Is she buying embroidery?"
"No, I am the editor of [Ancient and Modern Dating], and I am going to give a special introduction to S Embroidery."
"Oh, little girl Mu, you are so awesome, you are actually a literary worker."
Mu Qingci smiled shyly.
Grandma Feng thought of something and asked again: "Little Miss Mu, weren't you looking for a house in the East Lake Community last time? Did you rent it? Did you call my eldest grandson later?"
Mu Qingci suddenly didn't know how to answer. Although she agreed to help instructor Feng deal with grandma, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative. After thinking about it for a while, she said: "I've rented it. I just asked your eldest grandson for help."
"Haha... My eldest grandson's cold face didn't scare you, did he? Despite his expressionless look, he is actually quite nice."
"Yes, he is very nice."
The two of them were talking and soon walked outside the Chu family's gate.
Someone from the Chu family was already waiting for her at the gate.
Mu Qingci returned the basket to Grandma Feng and shook hands with the Chu family who came over.
"Miss Mu, welcome."
"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry to bother you today."
"No no."
After the two were polite, the Chu family also said hello to Grandma Feng.
They just look familiar.
Grandma Feng smiled and nodded to him, and then said to Mu Qingci: "Xiao Mu, work hard and I won't disturb you anymore."
Mu Qingci: "Thank you grandma for bringing me here."
"no, I'm fine."
After saying that, she left with the vegetable basket.
That vigorous little step, you can tell at a glance that your body is in great shape.
Mu Qingci then followed the Chu family in.
The Chu family's courtyard is very spacious, and the embroidery workshop is also here.
S embroidery has a unique style with ingenious conception, beautiful patterns, lively stitching, meticulous embroidery work and elegant colors.
Embroidery techniques have the characteristics of "flat, harmonious, neat, smooth, smooth and even".
In particular, the double-sided heterochromatic embroidery of S embroidery is truly unique.
Mu Qingci not only saw the S embroidery method, but also practiced it herself.
The best embroiderer in the Chu family is Grandma Chu, but now that her eyesight is bad, she has never used needlework again.
Next down are her sons, daughter-in-law, and their embroidery skills are also very good.
Mu Qingci had a good chat with her about the process and continuation of becoming an embroiderer in the Chu family.
The Chu family has produced very powerful S embroidery masters since the Yuan Dynasty, and they were still royal embroidery masters at the time.
Even though times have changed, the Chu family still retains some of the fine products left by their ancestors.
After Mu Qingci got their consent, she took some videos and photos of the embroidery.
At present, the Chu family also accepts customized embroidery. Later, Grandma Chu said with a smile: "If Xiao Mu is getting married, you can come to us to customize your wedding dress. We will definitely let you wear the most gorgeous and beautiful Xiapei."
Mu Qingci smiled and nodded with a condescending look on her face, but in her heart she thought that she couldn't even afford to customize such a luxury item after selling her.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Mu Qingci said goodbye and left.
When she left, Mrs. Chu also gave her a handful of double-sided embroidery in different colors.
When Mu Qingci was about to refuse, Mrs. Chu said:
"Ms. Mu is from the Cultural Relics Bureau. I hope you can use your words to promote our country's four famous embroideries to the world, so that those who always say that China does not have luxury goods know what real luxury goods are. .”
Mu Qingci was shocked by Mrs. Chu's words and did not refuse.
After declining the Chu family's offer to drive her away, Mu Qingci walked out of the Chu family's house, thinking about how to draft a promotional copy for S Embroidery.
Suddenly two familiar voices came from another alley.
It turned out to be Feng Lie and Grandma Feng.
I just heard Grandma Feng complaining: "How long have you been resting before you have to travel far away? When will you, a workaholic like you, be able to get married and have children?"
Feng Lie's voice was very calm: "Grandma, I have a plan."
Old lady: "You always use this to deal with me. If you have a plan, bring it to me to see. I don't care. Even if Bijun doesn't let me find someone to introduce you to someone, don't worry yourself. I will go to the marriage agency to register you."
It was obvious to Feng Lie that the old lady had not withdrawn, so he said, "Grandma, I have someone I like."
"Really?" The old lady sounded extremely happy: "Where is that girl from? What does she do? Ask her when she has time to come here for a meal."
Feng Lie: "I'm chasing her. She's timid. If you're too enthusiastic, you'll scare her away."
