Chapter 1408 Learning Arts (1 more
) The Double Ninth Festival is an important folk festival in Dongchen Mainland. No matter how busy the autumn harvest is, on this day, the people in the Mainland often relax for half a day or a day, either with their families or inviting friends for autumn outings, climbing mountains, wearing dogwoods, and drinking chrysanthemums. Wine/tea, every time on this day, every place with beautiful scenery is full of people and bustling.
In the years without war, the Emperor of Mingyue Kingdom often took the royal family and courtiers to the Royal Garden of Sanze Mountain for hunting and mountain climbing before the Double Ninth Festival. Chrysanthemum, the monarch and his ministers are happy together.
Since the war broke out in the country, many activities in the court have been omitted to save money and increase revenue, and the saved money was invested in the army to update armaments. In addition, the reason why various activities are not held is also because of border issues. What does it mean when the soldiers are defending the country with blood while the emperor and ministers are singing and dancing in the rear during the war?
When the little fairy takes the decision for the Mingyue Kingdom and restores the Mingyue Kingdom's disadvantages, the country has no worries, and it is understandable for the monarchs and ministers to relax appropriately. Because the little fairy temporarily resided in the Sanzeshan Garden, the Beiting Emperor and his courtiers did not even think of going hunting in the Royal Garden.
In such a majestic empire, there was naturally more than just the Sanzeshan Garden, and there were two other large-scale royal gardens in Beijing. One of the royal gardens is suitable for living in spring and winter, and the other is a summer resort. They are not as suitable for all seasons as the Sanzeshan Garden. The
Beiting Emperor did not consider organizing any Double Ninth Festival activities. On the Double Ninth Festival, the courtiers were still allowed to take a rest, so that they could relax with each other. His family was reunited, and he himself also had a small gathering with his concubines in the palace.
The common people celebrated the Double Ninth Festival in a lively manner, and Le Xiaoluoli was busy making wine from morning to night, until dusk fell, and the city was filled with lanterns like stars. She just sealed the last jar of wine.
After a whole day of work, even the real Yuanying would feel tired. Leyun felt that her hands were sore, and she lay facelessly on the ground in a big character, relaxing her limbs. Although it was
very Tired, but in a good mood.
According to Dongchen, it is not only suitable to drink wine on the Double Ninth Festival, but also to make wine. The wine brewed on the Double Ninth Festival is more fragrant than the wine brewed in other seasons. Leyun is not following the trend of others, but based on the Double Ninth Festival
. The climate of the festival and other aspects determine whether it is suitable for brewing. The temperature during the Double Ninth Festival and after the festival is clear between day and night. It is warm during the day and cool in the morning and evening, which is quite suitable for the fermentation of brewed wine.
She made wine during the Double Ninth Festival because she wanted to test whether the Double Ninth Festival wine was more fragrant and mellow as the people of Dongchen Continent said. She also wanted to find something to do for herself so that she would not be idle and homesick. I miss my loved ones."
She had been busy all day, and her arms were so tired that her arms were sore. Thinking of her day's results, Le Yun felt happy. She cooked a total of 130,000 kilograms of grains in one day, and then brewed the spirit spring water after fermentation. There were at least three grains in total. One hundred thousand catties of rice wine.
After lying down for a few minutes, he was resurrected with full blood. He got up and took out the small stove to light a fire and cook home-cooked meals. The four senior brothers and Jin Mao had been working as handymen for a day, and they must be rewarded.
The four senior brothers, who had been working as handymen for a day, sat down on the ground to restore their vitality without any image while the junior sister was lying on the ground to rest. The junior sister was making wine, and they helped mix the rice. They were doing physical work. Fortunately, they were monks. If they were ordinary The common people will not be able to hold on for less than half an hour.
After the four senior brothers recovered their lost energy, the younger junior sister also prepared dinner, and the senior brothers happily had another delicious meal.
The Double Ninth Festival has passed in a lively manner, and people in mainland China are busy with the autumn harvest work.
On the first day after the festival, the royal family of the Mingyue Kingdom took action and selected the best embroidery masters in the imperial capital, silversmiths and jade craftsmen who were good at making jewelry, carpenters who were good at woodworking, and people from the Hounan family in Zhennan. Nan Zhixian, his thirteen playmates and his wife were sent to the garden together.
The key personnel trained by various immortal cultivating families also set out for the garden that day. They set off before dawn, arrived at the garden early, entered the garden quietly, and quietly dispersed to several palaces to settle down.
The team of embroidery workers arrived at the Royal Garden in the afternoon. The embroidery workers and the craftsmen did not live together. The embroidery workers lived in Fangfei Garden, one and a half miles away from Guanlan Pavilion, and the craftsmen lived three miles away from Guanlan Pavilion. Chunhui Garden is two miles away from Fangfei Garden.
The two palaces are the gardens closest to Guanlan Pavilion. They allow the craftsmen to live in order to facilitate the fairies' coming and going. Palace guards are arranged in each garden, and there are dedicated people to serve meals, clothes, laundry, etc. Every craftsman, Embroidery workers only need to concentrate on doing what they are good at.
The Emperor of Beiting was afraid that the embroidery workers or craftsmen would act recklessly without any supervision, so he arranged for an elder from the Beiting clan to sit next to the craftsmen, and a nun from the palace to supervise the embroidery work.
The embroidery workers and craftsmen settled down after entering the park. Since they were in a new place and needed time to familiarize themselves with the environment, their superiors gave them two days of free time.
Nan Zhixian, his playmates and concubines were sent to Guanlan Pavilion and arranged in a side courtyard to the west of the main hall in the opposite direction to Guanlan Pavilion. The concubines lived in one room each, and the fourteen children were all twelve years old. Under the age of 18, Nan Zhixian was in a separate room, while three or four other children shared a room.
The masters and the children each brought a servant to wait on them. The servants also lived in groups of three or two. They were responsible for serving their masters, and other tasks were taken care of by the palace people in the garden.
The masters who moved from the palace hall to the garden did not allow the students to relax. They only allowed the children to do their own activities in the afternoon, and taught normally the next day. Classwork was arranged in the afternoon.
In the eyes of classmate Le, there is no difference no matter what day it is. On the first day after the Double Ninth Festival, he continued to dry medicinal plants, braise meat, stew monster meat, and draw slowly until the evening. He was busy for half a night, I drew nearly a hundred pictures, and the next night I drew nearly a hundred more pictures.
On the third day after the Double Ninth Festival, classmate Le was scheduled to have the first day of learning arts. He ended his meditation early that day, changed a batch of animal meat and threw it into the stew pot, and turned over the demon lids in the three pots where the monster meat was stewed. , add some spiritual plants, explain the precautions for golden retrievers, change clothes, and go to Fangfei Garden to report.
The four senior brothers personally sent the little junior sister to Fangfei Garden until the nuns in the palace took the little junior sister into the palace. They turned around and went to Chunhui Garden. Leyun entered the main hall with the nun named Xiu sent by the palace
. What you see are the embroidery masters standing on both sides of the embroidered carpet in the center of the hall, and the rows of embroidery frames behind them.
Except for the space reserved in the middle of the main hall, there are eight rows of embroidery racks on each side. Each row of embroidery racks is like an assembly line. There are large and small embroidery racks. The large embroidery racks have their own frames, and the small embroidery racks are placed on the table. Each row of embroidery racks is like an assembly line. Next to the rack are special silk baskets and boxes for scissors and other tools.
There are a total of twenty embroidery masters, six of whom are Huangmen chamberlains!
Huangmen's eunuchs are commonly known as eunuchs, or more commonly known as eunuchs and father-in-laws.
The master embroiderer of the Huangmen Chamberlain is an old embroiderer who embroiders court clothes for emperors and empresses in the palace. He is also the most experienced embroiderer. In the palace, he only uses his words but does not do his hands. The oldest one only embroiders for the emperor. The court clothes have been embroidered for forty years.
Among the fourteen female embroidery masters, two are also from the imperial palace and are embroiderers who embroider auspicious clothes for the concubines. The other twelve are the most prestigious embroiderers selected from the major embroidery shops in the imperial capital. He is good at all kinds of embroidery skills, and everyone has been embroidering for more than 30 years.
The embroiderers are dressed plainly, and the fabrics are all of the best quality. They are all well-maintained and look to be around thirty or forty years old. The oldest one looks to be fifty, but she is actually ninety-four years old.
The embroiderers each had their own heirs, as well as a maid or palace attendant. A group of people knelt down in the main hall to greet the little fairy. They were lifted up by the little fairy with her true energy. They all stood up straight, raised their heads slightly, and looked up. The beauty of the little fairy.
Sitting on the main seat of the main hall, Le Yun watched the embroidery workers staring at her with glaring eyes. She was a little surprised. Did she feel wrong? Why did she feel that the embroidery master looked at her like a wolf looking at a sheep?
She didn't mind being looked at like a monkey, but it was embarrassing to be stared at all the time, especially when the embroidery masters looked at her with no malicious intent.
"Masters, what should I learn first?" The embroiderers didn't say anything, so Le Yun had to take the initiative on her own. She knew a little bit about needlework, but compared to people on earth, these embroiderers in Dongchen were extremely skilled in embroidery. In front of her, she was just a rookie who had just mastered a needle.
"You can't be called master by the little fairy," the oldest female embroiderer Yingying said with a salute: "My surname is Zhushi, the little fairy can just call me Zhushi's wife." "Master is a girl from the Zhushi family?
" Yun looked at Xiu Niang. Her face was somewhat similar to that of the masters of the Xiuxian family, and she was also related by blood. She should be a branch of the masters family that was far away from the direct lineage.
"Exactly, I am a descendant of the common branch of the master family. I am good at cloud patterns, cloud patterns, ripple embroidery and brocade. My skills in tailoring are ordinary. I heard that the little fairy is curious about weaving and embroidery. Among us, Nan Chen Shaojian is the most She is good at weaving and embroidery." The wives of the masters took the initiative to tell them what embroidery they were good at.
Moire embroidery refers to embroidery technology, and brocade embroidery refers to embroidery on brocade.
Weaving embroidery is what we call tapestry embroidery on earth.
Young Inspector Nan Chen was the embroiderer in the palace. He took a half step forward and said, "My surname is Nan Chen, but I will obey the instructions of the little fairy.
" As for the embroidery masters, I don’t know what I should learn first. Please arrange it with the masters.” Le Yun has the consciousness of being a student and is polite to the masters. She learns other people’s crafts but does not become a disciple. If she still treats them Being rude is not a matter of politeness, but a matter of character.
The little fairy is cute and cute, gentle and polite, and she is also easy-going and kind to the embroidery workers. The embroiderers feel less and less nervous. Headed by Zhu Shi Niangzi and Nan Chen Shaojian, they suggest that the little fairy learn embroidery first before learning embroidery. Regarding fabrics, knowing the fabrics and the knitting methods of the fabrics also makes it easy to determine which type of fabric goes with which color and what is suitable for embroidery.
Classmate Le is open-minded and eager to learn, and listens to the embroidery masters.
The embroidery masters led the fairy to the central hall on the east side of the main hall to see the weaving method of silk and satin. There were dozens of textile machines and looms placed in the central hall of the east wing of the palace, with semi-finished products on each machine.
The palace people who were good at textiles were waiting in the middle hall to welcome the little fairy into the palace. They demonstrated the weaving methods of each fabric before sitting down. It took nearly an hour to demonstrate each weaving method again.
After looking at the weaving methods in the east wing nave, I went to the west wing nave to look at the dyed fabrics and identify which ones were silk, which were brocade, which ones were luo, and also whether the quality of the fabrics was high or medium. , or defective defective products.
The fabrics in the nave of the west wing were arranged in rows, and bundles of materials were piled high, with more than a dozen bundles of each type of fabric.
It took nearly an hour to complete the circle, and it was almost noon.
Classmate Le did not bother the embroidery masters, letting them rest in the afternoon and start teaching embroidery officially tomorrow.
The four senior brothers of the Yulan Sect flew from Fangfei Pavilion to Chunhui Garden in just the blink of an eye, and entered the garden with the welcoming Beiting clan elders.
There are no craftsmen living in the main hall in the garden. Silversmiths and jade craftsmen live in the east courtyard next to the main hall, and carpenters live in the west courtyard. The upper hall of each courtyard is used as a construction site.
Twelve silversmiths and jade craftsmen were already paying respect in the main hall of the east courtyard. When they saw the immortals coming in, they knelt down to receive them with excitement.
The four senior brothers didn't talk nonsense. They only asked the craftsmen to work hard. They handed over the drawings drawn by the younger junior sister to the craftsmen. Then they took out the jewelry boxes and placed them in the center of the hall. They opened the boxes one by one to let the elders of the Beiting clan and the craftsmen Check that the jewelry matches the roster number.
Dozens of boxes, with a dazzling array of sparkling jewelry, dazzled the eyes of the master craftsmen. It took them a long time to calm down, and they stepped forward to check in fear.
After the items were numbered and placed, the four senior brothers handed a list of items to the Beiting clan elder for collection. They were accompanied by the Beiting clan elder to meet the carpenter in Xikuoyuan.
The carpenters were respectful in the central hall of the upper room of the West Cross Courtyard. The four senior brothers treated them equally. They handed the junior sister's drawings to them, and then took out some wood. Because the wood was in the way of being placed in the palace, they first put it in a storage container. It is temporarily managed by the Beiting clan elders. Whenever they need any wood, the craftsmen go directly to the Beiting clan elders.
Luo Cheng Yuqi wished Yu Mowen also knowing that his presence would make the craftsmen unable to relax, leaving the drawings and raw materials behind. They waved their sleeves and left calmly.
The silversmiths, jade craftsmen, and carpenters gathered together to study the drawings and raw materials. The more they studied, the more excited they became. Only when the research was thorough did they start work excitedly.
The four senior brothers returned to Guanlan Pavilion and went to the west side of Guanlan Pavilion to listen to the masters giving lectures to the children. After listening to a class, they slowly returned to Guanlan Pavilion.
They waited until a quarter past noon for the little junior sister to return. The senior brother caught the little junior sister and curiously asked how she was doing and whether it was fun.
Classmate Le, who was almost bald after being touched on the head, ran away with his head in his hands and howled, hid next to the big lion, sighed bitterly with a small face, and told how difficult it is to be an embroiderer, and how many fabrics make people able to do it. Vomiting blood.
The four senior brothers listened to the little junior sister Bala Bala's complaints, but no one advised her to just stop learning. Anyway, cultivators don't need to make money from embroidery.
The four senior brothers were also curious about whether the little junior sister had the patience to learn embroidery. The next day they quietly sneaked to Fangfei Garden to take a peek. They found that, well, the little junior sister followed the embroiderers from the masters' families. She was more open-minded and studious than those in Guanlan Pavilion. Children are very enthusiastic about learning.
The senior brothers quietly observed it for three days. Feeling relieved, they left the garden and headed north to collect spiritual plants, wild fruits and various supplies that the younger junior sister liked.
