Re-embroidering life

Chapter 159 Trump Card

In the Shuixiu Workshop, embroidery frames are lined up, silk threads are colorful, and the air is filled with the unique scent of fabrics. The embroiderers' delicate and slender fingers fly up and down like butterflies, and every stitch and thread embodies their hard work and ingenuity.

Shui Qinghua stood in the middle of the embroidery workshop, her eyes swept over the busy embroiderers, and a feeling of pride surged in her heart.

Her achievements so far, whether it is the title of Shui master or the awards received by the court, are all her personal honors. What she really wants is to make the name of Shui embroidery famous throughout the country, so that everyone who loves embroidery, regardless of gender, can find their place and a way to make a living in this industry.

Dou Jianzhi, Shui Yuhua and Hui Xin followed her. Just now, her words "We can go anywhere in this dynasty" seemed to instantly ignite everyone's enthusiasm and make their blood boil.

"Second sister, the general agent you just mentioned, please give the general agent position in Chu to me, and I will do my best. As your aunt, I can't be outdone by Fei'er." Shui Yuhua looked at Shui Qinghua expectantly.

Shui Qinghua smiled and nodded: "Of course you can. You were born and raised here, and you are the foreman of the embroidery girls. You are familiar with the things in Chu. But from now on, you can't just sit in the Shuixiu Shop. You have to go out and make friends with and inspect all the embroidery shops that sell our embroidery products. From the shopkeeper to the clerk, you have to explain the characteristics of the Shuixiu Shop to them. This is a difficult task, and you need to run around. Can you, a girl, do it?"

"Second sister, I can do it!" Shui Yuhua looked at Shui Qinghua firmly.

"Don't worry, boss. She has a personal bodyguard who will definitely be able to take care of her!" Dou Jianzhi joked.

Before she finished speaking, Shui Yuhua's cheeks turned red and she lowered her eyes shyly.

Shui Qinghua was stunned. Did something happen that she didn't know about?

At this moment, a tall and handsome figure came over and called out, "Yuhua!"

When Yuhua saw the person coming, her face became even more shy, but surprise clearly flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.

Shui Qinghua suddenly realized that the two of them finally got together.

Tang Hao walked up to her with big strides, his smile still as scorching as the sun. He greeted Shui Qinghua gracefully: "Sister-in-law, long time no see."

Dou Jianzhi joked: "Why call her sister-in-law? You should call her second sister!"

No matter how thick-skinned Tang Hao was, he couldn't help but blushing slightly.

Shui Qinghua took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and pulled her sister over: "Have you thought it through? The Tang family is not easy to deal with."

Yuhua nodded firmly: "I've thought it through. I told him very clearly that it's impossible to expect me to quit my job and become a chef. Not only will I not give up working at the Water Embroidery Shop, but I will be busier and busier in the future. He agreed. Not only did he agree, he was also willing to work with me in the embroidery shop. In the eyes of the world, he is just a playboy, but in fact he has his own ambitions. Second sister, the two of us will not let you down."

Shui Qinghua finally felt relieved. Her sister had really grown up. "Since you have chosen each other, you must support each other. The Shui family will be your strong support."

"Well! He doesn't dare to bully me. My sister and brother-in-law are not ordinary people!" Yuhua said happily.

Shui Qinghua was relieved about Yuhua and turned around to call Huixin.

Huixin's change was greater than Yuhua's. In the past three years, she had studied eagerly under Shuiqinghua's arrangement, working from dawn to dusk, and learning all the knowledge and skills related to embroidery. She even bought the "Shen Xin Embroidery Manual" as soon as it was circulated in Jiangxia, and now she is studying it day and night.

Huixin's temperament has quietly transformed through her persistent learning and practice. Once upon a time, she was a timid and lacking confidence. Now, her eyebrows are relaxed, her eyes are firm, and her behavior shows the calmness and wisdom tempered by time.

Shui Qinghua looked at Hui Xin with admiration: "You have been sharpening this sword for nearly three years, it's time to unsheathe it."

Huixin focuses on practicing Jiang embroidery, which is a blank in the current market and also Shui Qinghua's biggest trump card.

Shui Qinghua said to Hui Xin, "Hui Xin, you need to do two things. First, innovate Jiang embroidery based on the work of your predecessors. In my generation, new silk threads have been used in Jiang embroidery, and some of the light and shade and shadow expression methods used in painting have been integrated. Hui Xin, you must create your own techniques."

Hui Xin listened carefully, her expression serious and sincere: "Boss, I will."

Shui Qinghua smiled slightly, she knew Huixin had unlimited potential. "Second, widely use Jiang embroidery techniques in Shuixiufang's embroidery products to highlight the characteristics of Chu and restore the glory of Chu embroidery."

Huixin's face showed confusion, she didn't understand what her boss meant.

Shui Qinghua looked up at the clouds in the sky and said slowly, "Chu embroidery has a long history and unique style, but as time goes by, it has gradually lost its former glory. I was in the capital and saw with my own eyes how Beijing embroidery and Su embroidery were sought after by the world, but Chu embroidery has never been heard of even by the most respected embroidery masters."

Shui Qinghua has been learning Suzhou embroidery since she was a child, and has invented several new Suzhou embroidery techniques. She thought she was a master of Suzhou embroidery. But after a trip to Jiangnan, she found that the master of Suzhou embroidery was not her, but Shen Xin. Shen Xin's embroidery manual contains nearly two hundred Suzhou embroidery needlework techniques, an achievement that Shui Qinghua believes she will never achieve in her lifetime. People are shaped by their environment, and she has her own roots in Chu. Since Granny Zheng has chosen her to learn Jiang embroidery, she cannot waste this opportunity, and she cannot let Jiang embroidery forever sleep in the countryside, unknown.

"Hui Xin, Jiang embroidery is the pearl of Chu embroidery, and it has extremely high requirements for those who study it. Fortunately, you fully meet the requirements. Jiang embroidery has its own rules. You can only learn the art, not become an apprentice, so you don't have to call me master. But since you have got the opportunity and learned this skill, I ask you to take root in Chu embroidery, study Jiang embroidery in depth, and carry forward our local embroidery style in Chu. Can you do it?" Shui Qinghua's expression was extremely serious.

Hui Xin looked directly at Shui Qing Hua with a determined look on her face. She raised her right hand and swore, "I, Song Hui Xin, promise that I will do my best in this life to make Chu embroidery shine and last forever."

"Great!" Shui Qinghua praised loudly, "Promoting Chu embroidery is Mr. Ye's lifelong wish. I promised him that within two years, Chu embroidery will be introduced to the capital, and from then on, everyone under the emperor's feet will know about Chu embroidery. We will start from Jiangxia and achieve this goal step by step."

Huixin's heart surged, and she felt a heavy weight on her shoulders. She asked Shui Qinghua, "Boss, what should we do to promote Jiang embroidery in Chu as quickly as possible?"

Shui Qinghua looked into the distance with a dim gaze. "I believe there is someone who can definitely help us."
