Shu Wanniang rubbed her eyes and opened the embroidered screen. The entire family was stunned. Drooling, Mu Yangling asked with sparkling eyes, "Mother, can I learn this skill too?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
Madam Ma-Liu slapped her hand away and said, "Don't touch it. This is worth lots of silver!"
Shu Wanniang pursed her lips and smiled. She said to her daughter, "It's impossible for you to learn double-sided embroidery. I'd be very happy if you can master the most basic embroidery skills. On the other hand, Xiulan is very talented. Although she's a little old, she'll still be able to achieve something in the future if she works hard from today onwards."
Xiulan looked at her aunt excitedly and grabbed her sister's hand tightly. "Can… Can I really learn it?"
Shu Wanniang nodded with a smile. "With your talent, as long as you practice hard, it shouldn't be difficult."
