Shu embroidery

At this moment, Shen Chuqing's palms were already so tense that she was sweating, but her face kept showing a calm and composed look. She raised her head and looked at the silk threads on the wooden frame, and once again silently calculated the possibility of breaking sixteen pieces in her heart.

It seems that when I was young, I did [-]K, even if the number of times was not many, but at least there were successful examples in it.

But in case of losing, will the teacher deny himself as an apprentice?
The heart that had already settled down became tense again, and there was even an urge to run away.

Perhaps sensing her nervousness, Zhou Xu said to her: "You don't have to worry about winning or losing, just try your best to compete."

But Shen Chuqing, who was standing inside, didn't notice it, her eyes were fixed on the silk thread on the wooden frame, but after careful observation, she found that there was no focal point at all.

"Chuqing, Chuqing..." Zhou Xu called out several times in succession, but Shen Chuqing acted as if she hadn't heard it.

It alarmed the staff guarding the door, and she walked over with a smile and gently reminded: "Sir, in order to ensure the quietness of the competition environment, this glass is specially made for sound insulation."

Zhou Xu politely replied thank you for the reminder, but Feng Li was in a hurry: "She is nervous, she is really nervous, what should we do, Zhou Xu, how can we help her?
She looks like this every time she is nervous, pretending to be looking at something, but in fact, she is afraid that people will see his nervousness from her eyes.

Chuqing is not a person who values ​​winning and losing. The reason why she is nervous is entirely because she cannot afford to lose in her current status.

It was okay when we were beside her before, but now he is alone in it, he will definitely feel isolated and helpless.

If I had known this, I might as well have just fought with that surnamed Zhu, so as to save her from being bullied by standing alone inside. "

Seeing the chattering Feng Li, Zhou Xu thought about it, and quickly asked a staff member for a pen and paper.

Probably in order to facilitate the embroiderers to fight and draw, rice paper and brushes were specially prepared on site.

Zhou Xu was not too polite, he directly spread the rice paper on the ground, picked up the brush, tapped ink, and hurriedly wrote four large characters on it, "Chuqing, come on!"

It started in Shen Chuqing's direction, but now Shen Chuqing was worried all over her heart, if she lost the game, the teacher would be unhappy, and she still didn't notice the movement outside.

Seeing this, the onlookers also became anxious, and someone who shouted, "Chuqing, come on!"

Most of the onlookers also shouted loudly. The louder the volume, the soundproof glass was directly pierced, alarming the staff inside. He lightly patted Shen Chuqing on the shoulder and motioned her to look up. glass outside.

Shen Chuqing raised her head, and the big four characters appeared in her eyes. With a thought, and a sore nose, she saw Zhou Xu's gentle smile behind the big rice paper.

That smile seemed to be full of magic power, so that Shen Chuqing could feel the blood in her body moving, and her cheeks also became slightly hot.

Next to Zhou Xu, there were smiling faces cheering her on. Shen Chuqing's eyes instantly became wet, she quickly adjusted her mood, and smiled back at everyone.

Zhou Xu handed the rice paper in his hand to Feng Li, took another piece of paper and spread it on the floor, and quickly wrote on it: "Win or lose, do your best."

Holding it up against the glass again, Shen Chuqing looked at the words on it, and a boulder that was originally pressed in her heart loosened a little.

Zhou Xu put away that piece of paper, took another piece of paper and wrote: "We are always here, and Mr. will always be here."

Although it was an inexplicable sentence, Shen Chuqing was able to understand the meaning in seconds, she nodded slightly at him, and when she looked up at Zhu Yun again, there was no fear in her eyes anymore.

Zhou Xu returned all the remaining rice paper, brush and ink to the staff, and stood quietly in front of the glass wall, with a gentle smile on his face that never disappeared.

After about five or six minutes, a staff member walked in with a guest judge.

"Ms. Zhu, Ms. Shen, I'm very glad to see your wonderful duel. This Mr. Li Nan is the person in charge of the landscape embroidery of the Shu Embroidery Association, and also a guest judge of our exhibition area on the first floor."

"Hello, Mr. Li!" Shen Chuqing greeted politely, and Mr. Li nodded slightly at her.

Zhu Yun said with some dissatisfaction: "Shouldn't there be two judges, why only one came?"

"The other one is me. I am very glad that you can bring the first round of the competition to the exhibition hall on the first floor. You can add some fun to my boring work as a guest judge."

Shuangzhen Tang entered the embroidery room at some point, and stood side by side with Mr. Li Nan in the middle of the two tables.

"Why?" Zhu Yun said with a bit of dissatisfaction. Originally, Li Nan made her feel dissatisfied, because everyone was of the same age, and the achievements in embroidery were actually similar, but at least the other party was an important member of the Embroidery Association. .

Shuangzhen Tang was not, and she was a few years younger than herself. In Zhu Yun's mind, other than those senior masters, no one else was qualified to be her judge.

"Why? Since we participated in the National Embroidery Competition held in Shanghai 12 years ago, I am eight points higher than you.

Eight years ago, our two works were exhibited in France at the same time, and I won the gold medal of the exhibition with an advantage of 360 votes more than yours.

Based on four years ago..."

"That's enough, but I just won a few times by luck. Is there any need to show off here? I'm ready here. When can I start?"

Zhu Yun directly interrupted Shuangzhen Tang, and began to urge the staff to arrange the game as soon as possible.

"Miss Shen, are you ready?"

Double Needle Tang Guangming didn't want to continue to embarrass her, so he asked Shen Chuqing with a smile.

"Is there any water? I want to wash my hands first. The teacher said that the silk thread and base material of embroidery are delicate things. You must make sure your hands are clean before touching them."

Shen Chuqing said in a high-sounding manner that there is actually another reason, which is nothing more than worrying that the sweat in the palms will affect the next performance.

Shuangzhen Tang and Li Nan nodded in satisfaction at the same time, and the staff next to them said, "Can you help me get a basin of water?"

The staff quickly went out to fetch water, obviously worried that Zhu Yun would have a bad temper, and brought in two pots specially.

Shen Chuqing washed her hands, and carefully wiped them with the prepared cloth.

"Hands are also washed, can we start now?" Zhu Yun's face was full of arrogance, as if she had already won the game at this moment.

Shen Chuqing nodded, and Li Nan said, "Then let's start! Both sides have selected the silk thread, set a time limit, and have a 60-second limit for the silk-breaking duel."
