Chapter 82
The two aunts checked the silk thread several times and shook their heads and said, "Yes, it is four colors."
"Wrong, there are clearly six colors." Lin Dan took the silk thread and arranged them in different categories. One bunch of dark green, one bunch of dark green, one bunch of medium green, one bunch of light green, and the other two bunches, slowly Said: "This color is between dark green and dark green, and this color is between medium green and light green. The difference is so obvious, can't you see it?"
Seeing the two aunts shook their heads in a daze, she took out a piece of white embroidered cloth and placed the silk thread on it as a reference. Seeing that they still couldn’t tell the difference, she laid the dark green silk thread underneath, placing it between the dark green and The silk thread between the dark greens was placed on it, so that the two finally saw some slight gaps, and then they thought they were wrong.
"There is really a slight difference, right?" The third aunt looked at the fourth aunt indefinitely.
"Right?" Si Yiniang answered very reluctantly.
Lin Dan helped his forehead, a little sighed. I don't even recognize these colors, how can I teach her? The two aunts are too unreliable.
But soon, the two aunts laughed ecstatically, and proudly said: "We thought that our Dan'er qualifications were mediocre, but now we look at it this is not the case. You know Dan'er, in the way of embroidery, embroidery skills are certainly It is important, but color matching is also the most important thing. The simple pattern, just add a little color, will become completely different. The colors you just pointed to us, ordinary people can't distinguish it, which shows that you are born It is extremely sensitive to the intensity of color, and it is more handy than others in color matching. This kind of talent is one in a million, even Meng Si is far inferior to you. Today we will show you the color in embroidery The use of."
The two aunts drew two five-petal flowers on the embroidered cloth, embroidered one with silk threads of different shades but of the same color series, and embroidered one with monochromatic silk threads, giving Lin Dan a contrast effect. The monochromatic five-petal flower is lovely, but it is much dull compared with the multi-color five-petal flower.
The multi-color five-petal flower is embroidered with silk threads of the same color. The small tips of the petals are a little pink and white, and then slowly turn water red. When they reach the stamens, they have become a slightly purple crimson. The different shades of color are rendered layer by layer, layer by layer, and there is almost no trace of needles.
Obviously, such an ordinary pattern and such a simple embroidery work can give people a gorgeous feeling after adding some color changes. Lin Dan stared at the two flowers for a long time, and realized: "Auntie, I understand that color matching is the soul of embroidery. Color matching is used well, and even ordinary patterns can shine. I will definitely learn to paint. Learn how to use color."
"Dashan! There are some paintings here. You first learn to copy, and then learn to paint by yourself. You can gradually develop the painting skills if you want to paint." The two aunts handed Lin Dan some albums. Go out to work.
There are several works by Meng Si in the album, all of them are ink paintings, with small bridges and flowing water, and a leaf of a boat down the river, which looks very artistic. Lin Danyuan planned to copy her paintings, but he couldn't move the pen for a long time. These paintings should come from the memory of Meng Si. She discovered the beauty in life and engraved them on the bottom of her heart. After returning home, she outlines them with a brush.
But Lin Dan has no memory, everything she can see in her mind is all the scraps left to her by the original owner. She could not discover the beauty in life, nor could she draw them on paper with imagination. She has no past and no future, she only has the present.
She was still unable to write, and she closed the album for a long time, and traced it to a peony blooming in the garden. She can only transcribe the scenes she sees in front of her eyes. The refraction of sunlight, the gradation of shadows, and the brightness of colors are all recorded on paper as they are. With a paintbrush, three primary colors are used to blend countless shades. The color blocks are painted little by little, slowly piled up to form, but I don’t know how shocking my work is.
Cuilan, who was still a little careless, was already stunned: "Auntie, girl, the peony you painted is the same as the real one!"
Lin Dan stared at the painting for a while, shook his head and said, "If it is restored to embroidery, at least more than a hundred colors are needed. As far as I know, there are only 30 colors of embroidery thread on the market, which is still not good. "
"No, no, no, girl, you are wrong. Many embroidered women only buy white embroidery thread and dye them by themselves. If you want to embroider this flower, we can dye it ourselves. Both Sanyiniang and Siyiniang Yes." Cui Lan waved her hand repeatedly, her expression excited. She was really surprised by her girl's painting skills. After many years of immersion in Linjia Embroidery, she naturally understands what qualities a top embroidery woman should have. Exquisite embroidery is only one of them. In addition, she also needs excellent painting skills, subtle composition, accurate and unique color matching, and a little ingenuity .
Her own girl's embroidery skills are only average, but she has a unique talent in painting skills, composition, color matching, and ingenuity. As long as she is given some more time to practice her embroidery skills, she will definitely be able to surpass Meng Si! Cuilan had no hope for Lin Dan at first, but after seeing it day by day, she had completely changed her mind.
Lin Dan was very confident in herself from beginning to end, took out a piece of white paper, and said as he wrote: "Well, in addition to embroidery, painting, and color matching, I now have one more skill to learn." , Write two big characters of dragon and phoenix-dyeing.
From this day on, the Lin family had another additional expense, which was to buy dyes. The dyes on the market are quite expensive, so Zhang Hui bit his teeth and sold some dowry and bought the whole car. She doesn't know whether these expenses are worth it, let alone whether her daughter can become a talent, but it is always good to have a thought in her heart.
In this way, Lin Dan led a busier life than before. When she came back to her senses, more than half a year had passed, and the wooden stakes in the wood shed had not been wasted for three or four months. There is no need to vent, she has been able to sit down and sit for a whole day, her embroidery skills are advancing by leaps and bounds.
On this day, she was walking through the garden and heard the familiar sound of chopping stakes next door. She couldn't help being a little curious. She jumped onto the wall without thinking about it, and looked down. saw that Du Rusong was holding a big knife and chopping the wooden stakes around him, his feet moved and his figure changed, and his martial arts was amazing.
Xu is tired. He has taken off his shirt, revealing a strong body. His jade-colored skin is stained with sweat, and he is sliding down his abdomen along the texture of the muscles. It merges into the mermaid line, and disappears in the corner of the robe. In the lower garment. He usually wears graceful and elegant blouses, and his hair is meticulously tied behind his head, which looks extremely generous and indescribable. But today, his clothes are disheveled, his hair is drooping, and his body is full of unspeakable wildness and temptation.
He looks thin and weak, but in fact he is stronger and stronger than anyone, and his martial arts is even better. Lin Dan had never seen anyone use martial arts, but he was inexplicably convinced-even if he wanted to praise someone with good martial arts, he must be a master.
"What are you looking at?" When she was in a daze, Du Rusong had turned around and wiped the sweat slowly.
"It depends on you." Lin Dan asked truthfully.
Seeing that there was no shame on her face, Du Rusong had no obsession in her eyes. When he looked at himself, he was a little bit dumbfounded. Not only is the little girl sturdy, there is no difference between men and women in her head, and she doesn't know how her parents taught her.
Lin Dan didn't think there was anything wrong with the man being topless. She seemed to have seen a lot of these scenes, and continued: "You were a swordsman before, right?"
Seeing his sword on the weapon rack, Du Rusong nodded and said, "Yes, I have only recently changed to a broadsword." He was depressed and still couldn't solve it. Seeing the little girl chop the wooden stake so hard, he couldn't bear it. Live and try. The result is very gratifying. Since he started practicing the sword technique, he hasn't thought about the bad things before.
"The sword is very powerful, it is very good at mastering it, and it is also very powerful on the battlefield. It is indeed more practical than the sword. If you are so powerful, why not join the army? With your strength, you can become a general within a few years! Lin Dan sat across the wall, a little regret in his serious tone.
If she had a man as powerful as she had already joined the army, where would she stay at home embroidering?
Thinking of Lin Dan's bold words, Du Rusong couldn't help smiling. He wiped off his sweat, put on a robe, and said slowly, "Do you think it is feasible to join the army?" Li Ran just came to Zhejiang not long after he was just taking over the government affairs and was unable to reach into the army. If he is in the army, there may not be no way out. But the relationship between the military and China is not simpler than that between North Korea and China, and the battlefield is even more swordless. He is not afraid of death, he is just afraid that he is dead, and his sister and aunt are unattended.
Lin Dan didn't know his concerns, and said firmly: "It is feasible. In the barracks, anyone who has a hard fist can get ahead. You are so powerful, it's a pity not to join the army."
Du Rusong pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject: "How are your embroidery skills?"
Lin Dan was dumbfounded, and then took out a piece of embroidered cloth from his arms, "This is my new work, you have a look."
Du Rusong’s careless expression was instantly replaced by surprise. saw a peony blooming on the white embroidered cloth. The soft yellow stamens were fluffy, as if stained with some fine pollen, the petals were layered on top of each other, and the color changed from dark to light. Gradually smudged, the side facing the sun is moisturized, and the back-lit side is slightly thicker and more textured. Several dewdrops roll on the clearly veined leaves, as if they will fall with a light shake.
Where is this piece of embroidery, it is clearly a peony that is spitting in the wind, and it is a real peony.
Du Rusong subconsciously touched the petals to determine its authenticity.
"How is the embroidery?" Lin Dan asked expectantly.
Du Rusong let out a sigh of relief and smiled briskly: "I will join the army tomorrow."
Lin Dan frowned slightly, wondering how his topic could jump like this.
Du Rusong returned the embroidered cloth to her and explained: "If you can practice embroidery skills like this, I can also join the army." He watched Lin Dan walk step by step. At first, she couldn't even hold the needle and thread securely. But she never thought of giving up, and forced herself to sit in front of the embroidery frame to practice, day by day, month by month... In the end, she trained her embroidery skills and flattened her temper. This kind of perseverance is He only saw it in his life.
He still remembers that Lin Dan’s first work was a piece of stuff with no shape at all. However, just over five months later, she was able to take a flower in her embroidered cloth. .
The vividness of her painting and the outstanding embroidery skills amazed him, and at the same time made him understand that there is nothing to do but to act. What the little girl can do, why can't he be a big man?
