Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet Jiangnan Lao.

The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is painted to listen to the rain.

The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists.

If you are not old, you must return to your hometown, and you must break your intestines when you return to your hometown.

A tactful song "Bodhisattva Man" floated from the painting boat opposite, the green waves on the Taihu Lake are vast, the smoke and rain are misty, and the painting boat looks faint in the smoke and rain, like an ancient ink painting.

Qing Niang wore a dark green long dress, swaying softly with the spring breeze, like the waves on the lake rippling, her eyes were taken back from the painting boat opposite, and the paintbrush in her hand was lightly dyed on the paper.

Soon, a painted boat jumped on the paper, and the woman on the bow of the boat could be seen dancing with Ling Feng's water sleeves, and it could be judged from the movements that the woman on the bow of the boat was dancing a green-waisted dance, which was perfectly integrated with the landscape in the background.

Yang Yi likes to see the way her mother is engrossed in doing things, for example, when she paints seriously, her demeanor is calm, her eyes are clear, her style is quiet and elegant, and the rain outside the ship is as thin as smoke, and the eaves are dripping like a curtain, which is the most beautiful poem in itself.

"Okay, Brother Yang, it's time for you to inscribe." Qing Niang put down the paintbrush and turned her head to look at Yang Yi, her pretty face seemed to be flowing in the spring breeze, the shallow pear vortex flashed away, and every small expression was so vivid and bright.

As a result, Yang Yi looked at her fixedly without a trace of reaction, and Adele next to her covered her mouth and snickered, which made Qing Niang's jade-like cheeks suddenly stained with two peach halos.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang" Qingniang stomped on her lotus feet and called twice.

"Oh, oh. Is there something wrong with Qing Niang? Yang Yi woke up like a dream, obviously still a little confused.

At this point, Adella finally couldn't help laughing. A cup of tea can barely be held.

Qing Niang's eyes turned and she looked at Adella first. Then he hummed to Yang Yi: "Brother Yang, the people have finished painting, let you inscribe it, but you see that Adella is so engrossed, you don't hear it when you call you a lot, hmph, that person will go ashore first and wait for you." ”

Adella was stunned, and then disagreed: "Okay, Qingniang, people obviously look at you and look at you." But you come to make fun of me, I don't depend on you."

The two beauties with different styles, but also captivating the country and the city, quickly played together, and the crisp laughter drifted into the smoke and rain on the lake, and for a while, Yang Yi became an outsider.

This time, he consciously walked to the table, picked up the pen and inscribed the song "Bodhisattva Man" sung by the painting boat on the opposite side in the blank space.

Qing Niang found out, immediately stopped fighting, and came up and said, "Brother Yang." This is not good, you are not allowed to use the poems of your predecessors, you have to make your own one. ”

Yang Yi spread his hands and smiled: "It's late, Qing Niang." This blank space is already full, but there is no place to ask it again. ”

"Hmph, I see. Brother Yang did it on purpose just now, you deliberately led people to fight with Adella. Good to write secretly"

"Qing Niang, Xiaosheng is wronged. How did Xiaosheng know that you were going to blame Adella and finally cause a war between the two sides? ”

"What kind of big war, it's really ugly, hum, anyway, you know, you know, you have always been scheming, Sister Qing'er has long asked me to be careful of you" Qing Niang pouted, crossed her waist, said fiercely, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"What did your sister Qing'er tell you to be careful of me?" Yang Yi blurted out.

"Be careful that you sell it and count the money for you!"

"Oh" Yang Yi covered his face and groaned in pain, "How can you say that about me, it hurts my heart so much, how can I ask you to count the money for me, I will only sell it a few more times at most." ”

"Poof!" Qing Niang was amused and smiled, "Okay, Brother Yang really didn't have any good intentions, hmph, people will ignore you in the future." ”

Adella laughed softly and fell into Yang Yi's arms, a wisp of body fragrance was faint and intoxicating. Yang Yi hugged her and winked at Qing Niang, Qing Niang was angry, picked up the paintbrush from the table, and was about to paint his face, so scared that Yang Yi was all over the boat and hid, and was almost not forced into the lake.

The three of them laughed and laughed, then sat down, a cup of tea, a song "Gull and Heron Forget the Machine", let the painting boat go with the waves, a lake outside the boat is misty, the three mountains are faint, from time to time there are painting boats swimming in the lake rowing, from time to time can hear the sound of reciting poems, mixed with a string of Wu Nong's soft words, such as the murmur of the warbler, feeling particularly soft.

The painting boat slid through the smoke and rain of this lake, and finally came to Wu County.

Wu County is close to Suzhou, the west of Bao Taihu Lake, the east contains Yangcheng Lake, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through the north and south, the whole city water lanes are like a net, the water surface accounts for about 30%, every family is connected to the boat, it is the most typical water town style.

Rice is abundant here, growing mulberry and raising silkworms has become a trend since ancient times, you can hardly find a wasteland in Wu County, in addition to the soft landscape, it is the field and mulberry forest, other fisheries, handicrafts, shipbuilding, etc., are very developed.

And today Yang Yi came to Wu County, what he wanted to see was not these, he only came for one thing - Su embroidery.

The boat drove leisurely into the water alley of Wu County in the rain, the horizontal frame of the arch bridge on the water, the willows on both sides of the river, the attic near the water, the high horse-head wall, and the green bamboo and plantain sticking out of the powder wall, all quietly bathed in the smoke and rain, making this Jiangnan water town appear more soft.

From time to time, you can see the shadow of a fluttering skirt under the oil-paper umbrella on the shore, walking through the long alley paved with bluestone slabs.

One by one, the boats pass through the alleys, and they can always avoid each other lightly, say hello to each other, and stagger away.

Yang Yi said leisurely at the beautiful scenery of the water town like an ink painting: "Su embroidery is the most beautiful complex in the life of a woman in the south of the Yangtze River. The embroidery with bandages, bandages, Su needles, flower threads, their attached eyes will never leave the water as grass, clear as flowers of the Jiangnan women, Ren Yi is old, in Jiangnan, their eyes do not leave, this is unforgettable love, Su embroidery to Jiangnan women is the old love, so that the whole world knows, Jiangnan has a kind of ingenious Su embroidery, female red ingenuity, ten fingers of spring breeze"

Qing Niang didn't know why Yang Yi suddenly came to such a paragraph, but after listening to Yang Yi's exclamation, she was fascinated by it.

Adella couldn't help but ask, "Childe." Is Su embroidery really so good? I've heard of the name, but I've never seen it. ”

Yang Yi laughed and said, "Adella." You'd better be prepared, don't wait for a while to exclaim when you see Su Xiu. The embroidery of the Wu people. The needle and thread are fine, with one or two threads, with the needle as thin as a hair, the color is exquisite, the brilliance is dazzling, the mountains and rivers are far and near, the pavilion has a profound rhyme, the characters have a vivid feeling, and the flowers and birds are extremely colorful. In short, the view is lifelike, and the best works are better than the famous paintings. ”

Adella didn't doubt Yang Yi's words, but said even more strangely: "Then why is it that most of the embroideries sold in the Tokyo market are Bian embroidery and Shu embroidery, but Suzhou embroidery has never been sold." ”

"Adella, this is also the reason why I came to Wu County, Su embroidery is ingenious, but it is precisely because of this that a good embroidery often takes a year, or even a few years. Moreover, it is difficult for a woman who is not a clever woman to master the skills, and if she does not have the method, she will follow suit in vain. The embroidered embroidery can hardly be called Suzhou embroidery. ”

In fact, Suzhou embroidery is not well known, the main reason is that it is now circulating in a very small range, and only some women in Wu County have mastered the techniques of Suzhou embroidery.

Suzhou embroidery really spread. It was a matter of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when almost all the women in the prefectures and counties of Jiangsu mastered the skills of Suzhou embroidery. It has formed a grand occasion of silkworm raising and embroidery in every household;

In terms of painting. At the same time, there was a Wumen school of painting represented by Tang Bohu and Shen Zhou, which further promoted the development of Suzhou embroidery, and the artists combined with the painting works to recreate, the embroidered masterpieces were lifelike, and the ink charm was incisive, and it was known as painting with a needle;

It was only at that time that Suzhou embroidery formed a unique artistic style in terms of stitching and color patterns, and it was quite beautiful in the art garden, comparable to calligraphy and painting.

When Yang Yi arrived in Suzhou, he heard that there was a woman named Shen Sanniang in Wu County, she was the most famous Suzhou embroidery artist in Wu County, and now various workshops in the south of the Yangtze River have sprung up, she also took advantage of this spring breeze to open an embroidery workshop, hired nearly 200 women, and taught them Suzhou embroidery skills.

Even so, there are still a lot of women who come to learn Suzhou embroidery, you must know that now a good Suzhou embroidery, the price is less than dozens of times, the high one has thousands of runs, according to the catty two, its price is ten times that of gold, Yang Yi said that its value is better than the famous paintings can not be exaggerated at all.

The last time I inspected the cotton mill in Yongqiu County, I accidentally mentioned one thing to Qingniang, that is, the emergence of many large cotton mills and silk factories will definitely have a great impact on the original family textile industry, and many women may lose the livelihood of weaving cloth.

For this reason, Qing Niang is very anxious, Yang Yi also paid attention, now the weaving can be transferred from homework to large factories for production, but embroidery is a pure handmade work of art, and it is absolutely impossible to produce on the assembly line;

Women can't make money by weaving, so it is definitely a very good choice to switch to the embroidery industry;

If it can be done in the Ming and Qing dynasties, every family in the south of the Yangtze River raises silkworms and embroiders every household, why worry about women having no work?

After Yang Yi went to Suzhou and heard that Shen Sanniang had accepted apprentices to teach embroidery, he didn't stay in Suzhou City, and directly found a boat to come to Wu County.

Let's take a look at it on the spot, talk to Su Sanniang and other people with exquisite embroidery skills, and see if we can use Su Sanniang's operation method, or any other method, to popularize Su embroidery skills throughout Jiangnan as soon as possible, so as to solve the "employment problem" of Jiangnan women.

The boat walks leisurely in the water alley of Wu County, in the confused smoke and rain, the wine flag is lowered by the water alley, and the leisurely drinkers laugh and drink upstairs, and there is almost no busy scene here, everything is so leisurely and leisurely;

Time seems to stand still here, nothing is worth pressing, nothing is worth clinging to, and the quiet time is all winding around in this misty smoke and rain, clear water alley.

Finally, an embroidered flag appeared on the side of the small pier in front: Shen Sanniang Embroidery Workshop.

The five words are embroidered with silk threads, juan and extremely three-dimensional, and there are auspicious clouds embroidered next to it, just this embroidered flag, it makes people feel extraordinary.
