Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 28

Wei Wei didn't have a fan in her hand, so she could only go to a carpenter to order two fan bones before she could play this kind of fan game with the little girl.

Wei Wei followed Dolores to a few lessons from Mrs. Bates and found that as she knew at the beginning, Mrs. Bates's teaching level was indeed not very high, and her talent could only be said to be ordinary, but she Very responsible, although it looks harsh, it just looks like, the attitude towards Dolores is not bad, neither corporal punishment nor scolding the student, so under her teaching, Dolores learned Although things are not brilliant, the foundation is solid.

In terms of literature, Dolores is only able to read and write. She doesn't like reading very much, and her knowledge is very narrow. In arithmetic, she can only do ordinary addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and it is easy to calculate numbers with more than four digits. error.

In other courses, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

No wonder Felix was worried about Dolores' schoolwork.

After a few days, Wei Wei decided on the classes she would take in the future - embroidery and arithmetic.

The musical instrument Dolores learned was also the harp. Wei Wei could have taught her this, but the little girl had no talent for music, and she didn't like it, so it didn't matter whether she taught it or not.

On the contrary, Dolores likes embroidery very much, but Mrs. Bates is good at cutting and sewing, but the level of embroidery is average, and there are not many people who can teach Dolores.

Even after two years of learning, the level of embroidery is almost better than that of her teacher.

And Wei Wei is good at this, she can teach Dolores more than she imagined.

As for arithmetic, although Wei Wei's math grades have always been mediocre—God knows she returned all this knowledge to the teacher when she graduated—it's still okay to teach Dolores to memorize the multiplication table and learn verticals.

After confirming the course, Wei Wei was a little worried that she would be unhappy when she discussed the schedule with Mrs. Bates, but Mrs. Bates did not.

Because the Count had already told Mrs. Bates that no matter what courses she took, her previous salary would remain the same, so the more Wei Wei took over, the easier it would be for her.

Unlike the East, because of the preciousness and scarcity of silk threads, linen, cotton, and wool are more commonly used in embroidery in the West, and luxury-loving nobles also use a lot of gold and silver threads made of real gold and silver in embroidery. In addition, pearls, gemstones, and even finely ground shells are also common embroidery materials.

Like the handkerchief Dolores gave to Wei Wei, the flowers and birds on it were embroidered with gold threads and colored linen threads. Although the embroidery method used was monotonous and unchanged in Wei Wei's view, it was better than the dense stitches. , and still has a spirit.

However, compared with the exquisiteness and lifelikeness of the four major embroidery, the embroidery stitches learned by Dolores can only be said to be rough and abstract, which is completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of the Orientals for embroidery.

At this time, they had never even seen cross-stitch, which was introduced to Italy from China via Turkey in the 14th century.

"Let's practice the stitching of Su embroidery today."

Because of the game, Wei Wei is now a sewing master. She has tried it privately. She can do the four major embroidery in China, but probably because the sect in the game is close to Jiangnan, Wei Wei is best at Su embroidery.
