Chapter 518: Mysterious Young Lady No. 511 (Part 6) - First Update
"Oh? You also have embroidery works?" Lady Liu didn’t mean to look down on Ye Shaohua.
She asked only because Ye Shaohua’s demeanor didn’t seem to fit that of an embroiderer.
It was only after seeing the embroidery carried by the maid behind Ye Shaohua that she realized Ye Shaohua wasn’t just talking aimlessly, but she was even more amazed at heart.
Who would have thought that the small Jingzhou could be home to such talented people.
Although most women of the day were skilled in needlework, becoming an embroiderer wasn’t something one could achieve with just any ordinary skill.
"Miss, could you show us your embroidery work?" Lady Liu asked warmly, looking at Ye Shaohua.
Ye Shaohua glanced at Zu Xiao.
Zu Xiao immediately understood her meaning and, stepping past the other embroiderers, went to Lady Liu’s side and helped Liu’s maid unfurl the Suzhou embroidery.
The brocade in Lady Liu’s hands was a ’Hundred Butterflies Fluttering Through Flowers,’ laboriously embroidered by Ye Qingqing, and also her most adept work.
The colors were vivid, the brocade lustrous and delicate. She used the traditional stitching techniques customary in Jiangling, making the structure very rigorous. At first glance, the butterflies and flowers appeared vividly lifelike, embodying a very realistic style.
