Chapter 124: Chapter 54: Busy

Embroidery Lady Mah had mostly finished explaining the characteristics and history of Su embroidery before she began to teach the stitching techniques, demonstrating them as she taught.

This method of teaching was very engaging, drawing everyone's interest into the lesson. Even Yuebing, who didn't like embroidery, became involved and learned diligently.

After demonstrating for a while, Embroidery Lady Mah let the girls try it themselves. But before they started, she said, "Embroidery can easily strain the eyes; staring at something without moving for several Shichen can make things blurry. So, remember that when you embroider in the future, you should take a break after half a Shichen, perhaps go out to look at the scenery or watch the fish in the pond or in a jar." After speaking, she had someone bring over a jar with four goldfish inside.
