Lu Wanning saw that the two sisters had embroidered well and won the praise of the Headmaster, so she could not help but have some thoughts. Seeing the exquisite sachets one after another, Lu Wanning could not help but smile and say to the Headmaster,"" Master, my hand is much better now. I want to embroider too."
The Headmaster nodded with a smile and praised Lu Wanning for being serious. After receiving praise, Lu Wanning looked at Wanqiu happily like a child asking for credit.
She's really a child…Wan Qiu smiled in her heart.
However, it was easy to watch others do it, but it was difficult to do it yourself. Lu Wanning's ambition had been so hard to come by, but she was already stumped by the first step of drawing patterns. She also knew that her drawing skills were really not that good and could not be presented at all. She stole a glance at Lu Wanling and pleaded,""Second Sister, the Headmaster praised your craftsmanship. Why don't you draw one for me?”
Lu Wanling ignored her and said impatiently,""Hmph, I wanted to slack off just now, but now I want to make a move again. It would be better if he really did it himself. If he couldn't draw it, then he shouldn't force himself.”
Lu Wanning suppressed the anger in her heart and blinked her eyes aggrievedly. She then moved closer to Lu Wanjing in a fawning manner. This Third Sister had always been gentle.
Lu Wanjing raised her head and smiled gently." Fourth Sister, there's plenty of fabric over there. If you really can't draw a pattern, just pick a ready-made one that has a pattern. You don't have to draw it yourself. Just cut it out. You don't want to hurt your hand."
This was a good idea. It didn't lose face and could also be used as a fragrance pouch. Lu Wanning nodded happily and looked at Teacher Jian. Before she could speak, Teacher Jian smiled and nodded.
Lu Wanning happily returned to her seat, picked up the fabric, and began to cut.
When Wan Qiu saw this, she couldn't help but pick up the cloth and start drawing patterns.
Time passed quietly. Everyone found something to do, but the Headmaster was free. He walked past the ladies and gave them some pointers from time to time.
She slowly walked to Wan Qiu's side and glanced at her casually. She knew this young miss well. She usually did not like to take needlework and even claimed that it was the work of servants. As a teacher, she could not say anything. After all, the dignified young miss did not want to embroider, so she could let the servant girls do it instead. However, when he saw Wan Qiu's initial drawing, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The thin stem, two long leaves, and the half-opened orchid formed an extremely exquisite orchid painting. This was the orchid he had just drawn, and it was exactly the same! Teacher Jian suppressed his surging emotions and asked with some excitement,""Young miss, did you draw this pattern yourself?”
Embroidery, in fact, drawing skills were the foundation and also the key. If one could draw a good pattern, the embroidery skills would not be far away.
Teacher Jian naturally knew what was good. He could tell at a glance that Wanqiu's drawing skills were outstanding. Although Lu Wanling and Lu Wanjing were also outstanding, they were only at the age of twelve. They could not be mentioned in the same breath as Wanqiu's drawing skills.
Wanqiu saw the amazement in Teacher Jian's eyes and felt very pleased. She smiled and nodded. Lin Yulou was known as the head of the Four Great Gentlemen in the capital, and his favorite pattern was the Clivia. Wanqiu had put in a lot of effort and time in order to cater to Lin Yulou's preference. She was able to embroider such a lifelike orchid. The orchid's integrity seemed to be displayed from this small pattern. At that time, no one in the Lin Manor could compare to it. Therefore, it had received a lot of praise from Lin Yulou.
If Teacher Jian's orchid painting was able to draw the scent of orchids, then Wan Qiu's painting was able to draw the charm. Although the painting was slightly immature, and of course, Wan Qiu had done it on purpose, the aura of the clivia was exquisitely drawn, and the strength of character floated out.
Teacher Jian praised endlessly." I didn't expect Eldest Miss to have improved so much. I won't be able to catch up to her orchid painting skills in the future." You really make me look at you in a new light…"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanling and Lu Wanjing looked at each other and turned around.
Lu Wanning also craned her neck to take a look.
When they saw the orchid painting clearly, the three of them were stunned. The way they looked at Ruoyun immediately changed.
She had never heard of Eldest Sister having such a specialty before…especially Lu Wanling. She was usually close to Wanqiu and knew everything about Wanqiu. However, her mother had never let anyone teach her painting, and she had never shown it herself. How could she have such painting skills? Lu Wanling gradually became puzzled when she thought of the recent changes in Wanqiu.
Wan Qiu calmly accepted these scrutinizing gazes, not feeling guilty at all. To be honest, if he were to use all of his previous efforts, it would definitely be better than the picture he casually drew in front of him. She could also see Lu Wanling's doubts. However, she did not want to be the Lu Wanqiu who did not know anything in her previous life. She wanted to live in her own hands in this life. Suspicion? Very good. I want you to be suspicious and uneasy so that you won't act rashly. Only then could his and Xuan 'er's safety be temporarily guaranteed. He could not take revenge for the time being, but it did not mean that he had to let them continue bullying him.
Lu Wanling thought about it and suppressed the doubts in her heart. She turned her head and quietly wiped away the peony pattern that was almost finished. She lowered her head and started drawing again.
Lu Wanning looked at Wanqiu, his expression changing. He had never taken this big sister seriously. Although she was the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, everyone knew that the real legitimate daughter of the Lu family was the second daughter, Lu Wanling. That was why he had always looked down on Wanqiu and talked back to her. However, ever since she fell ill, Eldest Sister seemed to have changed a lot. Not only did she not talk back to her, but she always had a faint and distant smile. She also studied hard. Her etiquette, manners, and embroidery skills were outstanding, and she actually surpassed Second Sister Lu Wanling! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was strange. However, he thought about how Wanqiu had always been lazy with him in the past. Now that her cooking skills were so good, he was really unwilling to be compared to her. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the embroidery needle and started to work.
Lu Wanjing praised kindly,""Eldest Sister's painting skills are really unmatched by all of us. I really don't dare to show off in front of an expert."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanling grabbed the needle and thread even more hatefully. However, she pretended to smile and teased,""Since when did Eldest Sister have such good skills? You actually hid it from me. Do you really not treat me as your younger sister?”
