Shu embroidery

Every time Shen Chuqing yelled these three words, Lawyer Zhou, it seemed to remind her of the lawsuit she fought for Robert, which cost the Shen family 20 yuan.

That was the only time in Lawyer Zhou's career as a lawyer that he won a lawsuit but felt weak. Every time Shen Chuqing called Lawyer Zhou, Zhou Xu felt a little more guilty.

Taking advantage of the harmonious conversation between the two of them today, he hurriedly asked in a low voice with a somewhat discussing tone.

"Brother...have you also learned embroidery? Then do you have any masterpieces, can you show me."

Professional female embroiderers are hard to find these days, let alone male embroiderers. I heard that only the Cantonese embroidery school is more popular for men to do embroidery.

Shen Chuqing thought that he could also embroider, so she recovered her spirits, looked back at him happily and asked.

"I have learned it, but the results are not very good, and I am considered to be the first disciple who was expelled from the teacher by my aunt.

I had no choice but to focus on law and become a lawyer. "When Zhou Xu said this, a rare shyness appeared on his face.

After all, Zhou Xu, a young child prodigy who is famous for being smart and eager to learn, has no doubts about his ability to learn various skills since he was a child. Only in needlework, when he was four or five years old, he was directly excluded from the inheritance by Mr. Qunfang. off the list.

"You don't even know how to embroider, and you still want me to call you senior brother. You don't even know how to do it." Shen Chuqing was a little disappointed. After all, the person in front of her was so proficient in her first test, but she didn't expect that she was just a man of paper.

"Chuqing is right. I really don't have the qualifications to be your senior brother. From now on, you will be just like my aunt and the others. Call me Axu!" Zhou Xu tried his best to get rid of the title of Lawyer Zhou, so he quickly corrected it while the iron was hot.

"Ah Xu, seems a little impolite?"

In fact, it wasn't impolite, but simply felt that she was a little too kind, and it was hard for Shen Chuqing to speak out, so she had to find an excuse.

"What's so impolite about it, we live in the same house now, and it's really impolite for the attorney-chief lawyer to bark shortly.

If you really think it's impolite, why don't you just call me brother, anyway, I'm a few years older than you, so I can afford to be your brother. With a thought, Zhou Xu said with a bit of temptation.

"elder brother……"

Just as Zhou Xu was about to agree, Shen Chuqing quickly shook her head, and said with a smile: "I've never called someone else's brother, I feel so embarrassed, I'll call you A Xu.

By the way, Axu, thank you for taking care of me all this time. When I get paid next year, I will definitely prepare a big thank you gift for you. "

The title has changed, and the relationship between the two seems to be somewhat different. Shen Chuqing has long forgotten what she said at the gate of the court.

The two talked and laughed, and took a leisurely walk around the mulberry forest in Qunfang Garden.

Although Zhou Xu is not an embroiderer, his understanding of the embroidery industry can be called erudite.

Whether it is the division of regions, or the characteristics and unique skills of each genre, he can even talk about it in foreign countries.

Moreover, he also has a deep understanding of the method of appreciation, and has an in-depth understanding of the prices of some embroidered surfaces that are more popular in the market.

Shen Chuqing was very happy to discuss this issue with him, almost no matter what was said, Zhou Xu understood, just like the difference between a primary school student who just started and a college student who is about to graduate.

In addition to asking questions, most of the time they listened attentively. The two talked about landscapes and figures from Chinese painting, and then talked about sketching, and occasionally added some insights and thoughts on Western painting.

During the conversation, the seven or eight mile journey was completed unconsciously, and they didn't even notice when they returned to the gate of Qunfang Garden. The two stayed on the roadside at the gate and continued to talk.

Shen Chuqing felt that she gained a lot from the small talk along the way. It turns out that this person is not only good at litigation, but also has such a deep grasp of cultural knowledge in other aspects. Shen Chuqing said directly with admiration: "How do you know how to be more beautiful than me?" How much do the students in the academy know?"

"Read more books." Zhou Xu said mysteriously: "I read almost all the books in my aunt's study.

Ever since I was able to read independently at the age of five, my aunt asked me to…”

Zhou Xu paused for a while when he said that, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he quickly adjusted his mood before continuing: "I am required to read books for an hour every day, and I also specially made a book for all the books in the study. A huge form is posted on the wall, and when I read one, I tick off the title of that book.

Every week, she will conduct a random assessment, asking me to retell the main content of the book I have read."

"Five years old, I didn't even know my own name when I was five years old, you can actually read by yourself, that's amazing!"

Shen Chuqing couldn't help but feel ashamed, and suddenly became very curious, wanting to know what would happen if he couldn't retell the content?
Quickly asked: "Then if you can't tell, will you be punished?"

"There is no punishment. Although my aunt likes to hurt people, she doesn't often swear at people. The next three meals a day are all vegetarian, and they are all vegetables with a bitter taste, which can make people vomit.

If you want to change the dining table, you can only complete the tasks assigned by her. "Zhou Xu said with a bit of nostalgia, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"..."

Shen Chuqing thought about the time when she first arrived in Qunfang Garden, there were bitter dishes on the table almost every day, and she couldn't help wondering in her heart, could it be that she was not doing well?The punishment specially assigned by the teacher.

But if you want to say that this is punishment, it seems that the teacher eats more of those bitter dishes.

"What are you thinking, can you tell me and I can think with you?" Zhou Xu couldn't help but ask when he saw her blankly.

"Teacher...why do you like to eat those bitter things?" Shen Chuqing still couldn't help asking.

"I don't know either. Anyway, since I can remember, my aunt often eats some hard food appropriately. It was fine before. As long as we can successfully complete the tasks assigned by her, there will be no such things on the dining table.

But in the past two years, I don't know what happened, there will be such a dish on the table almost every day,
She seemed to be addicted to food, and I secretly consulted a doctor about it. "

"Does the teacher like sweet things?" Shen Chuqing asked curiously.

Zhou Xu shook his head, and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know, I don't think I've ever seen her eat something sweet."
