Chapter 133 This is a reclusive master from a family of embroiderers!
Yu Xian, who purchased the "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" painting, received the package the very next day.

She quickly opened it to take a look.

When the embroidery was slowly unfolded, not only she, but also her roommates exclaimed in amazement.

"Yu Xian, this embroidery is just too beautiful."

"These scenes seem to come alive."

"This is the first time I've ever seen embroidery like this."

Seeing Yu Xian in person was even more shocking than seeing her in the live broadcast room.

She was 100% certain that Grandma would like it.

Time flew by, and it was soon time for Yu Xian's grandmother, the old lady Yu, to celebrate her 80th birthday.

The reason why Yu Xian and her grandmother share the same surname is because her grandfather married into the family, so all the descendants took her grandmother's surname.

The Yu family is a famous Suzhou embroidery family. Madam Yu is also an inheritor of Suzhou embroidery intangible cultural heritage, a master officially hired by the state, and is respected by many people.

She herself has quite a few apprentices.

Now that it's her birthday, her family, her apprentices, and even those from the noble families she's on good terms with have all come to celebrate with her.

Soon, it was time for everyone to present their gifts.

Yu Xian's cousin presented her with a jade peach, which had a good meaning and was very pleasing.

After receiving praise from her elders, her cousin asked her, "Yu Xian, what gift did you prepare for Grandma?"

Yu Xian, who is usually outspoken and can't keep secrets, said mysteriously, "You'll find out soon enough."

?

This made my cousin quite puzzled and curious.

Soon, it was time for Yu Xian to present her gift.

Grandma Yu always adored her youngest granddaughter, Yu Xian. Although Yu Xian did not inherit her Suzhou embroidery skills, she was very close to and cared for her grandmother.

"What have you prepared for Grandma, you little rascal?" Actually, no matter what Yu Xian prepared, Grandma Yu would like it.

"Grandma, I spent a long time choosing this before I picked it out at first glance. I think you'll definitely like it."

"Oh, really? Then Grandma will have to see what our little Yu Xian has prepared for Grandma."

"Cousin, come help me unfold this."

When her cousin was called forward, Yu Xian took the roll of silk out of the long box.

Everyone realized that it was embroidery.

My cousin suddenly realized that it was embroidery. However, my grandmother was a master embroiderer, and her skill in Suzhou embroidery was unparalleled. Ordinary embroidery works would not have caught her eye.

However, those things that could catch Grandma's eye were either lost techniques or extremely expensive, which Yu Xian simply couldn't afford. Of course, those might not even be sold.

So how could Yu Xian be so sure that her grandmother would like it?

It's impossible that she embroidered this herself, right?

That's possible!
If Grandma knew that she had learned embroidery and even produced finished products, she would probably be very happy.

Yu Xian's cousin thought that might be the case.

But as the silk quilt was slowly unfurled, my cousin changed her mind.

Because Yu Xian didn't have the ability to embroider such a magnificent and grand piece of embroidery, not even her grandmother might.

When the silk was unfurled, it was as if an invisible ray of light fell upon it, making it shine brilliantly for a moment.

At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Even the elderly Mrs. Yu, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up and quickly stepped forward. "This, this is..."

"This is a landscape painting."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a vivid panorama of rivers and mountains."

"It's actually embroidered! The floating clouds, flowing water, and trees look like they're moving, like they're alive."

The first sight of it was visually striking, as if I were standing amidst the beautiful mountains and rivers of my motherland, appreciating and experiencing the scenery.

Grandma Yu stretched out her hand and carefully felt it. "This needlework is so dense, and it's a kind of embroidery I've never seen before."

"It doesn't look like my Suzhou embroidery style, nor like any other embroidery style."

“This is a type of embroidery I’ve never seen before.”

Could it be a lost art?
But it doesn't seem to be one of those lost embroidery techniques recorded in history.

After the birthday banquet ended, Yu Xian was summoned to the room by the impatient Old Madam Yu, who questioned her in detail about where she got the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting.

"I bought it in a live stream, it cost me 48,000 yuan."

"What? It was online and only cost 48,000? You girl, you got a real bargain! This 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains' painting could easily cost hundreds of thousands, let alone 48,000."

Furthermore, if it is confirmed that the embroidery technique is a lost art, the price becomes immeasurable.

Yu Xian was quite perceptive; she knew, of course, that this embroidery was worth more than that.

That 48,000 yuan was almost all of her savings, which is why she was so emotional.

"Little Yu Xian, find out what kind of person that person is and let Grandma see him."

Yu Xian had long known that her grandmother would be interested in the original owner of the "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" painting, so she secretly recorded the video when she saw Cui Lan live-streaming her embroidery.

"Yes, yes, I have a video, Grandma, I'll show it to you."

Grandma Yu was stunned the moment she saw the screen recording.

As time went on, she became even more fascinated by it.

After reading it all, her face was filled with utter shock.

"It was completed so quickly."

"This person's temperament, every move, is definitely the result of years of immersion in embroidery."

"She was so confident and so calm."

"The needlework is so delicate, and the embroidery technique is something I've never seen before. It's definitely a lost art."

Perhaps this is a reclusive master embroiderer from a renowned family!
“Xiao Yuxian, could you contact this master? Grandma would like to meet her. No, if she is willing, Grandma can go to meet her.”

Yu Xian never expected that her grandmother would be so eager to meet this master.

“Okay, Grandma, I’ll help you make the contact.”

Soon, Yu Xian tried to contact them through the back-end system, but unfortunately, the person on the other end seemed to be offline and did not respond.

On the other hand, Old Mrs. Yu quickly shared the existence of this "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" painting with her embroidery friends. Her group of old friends were all experts in various fields of embroidery, and there were even officials among them.

They also realized that this might be a lost embroidery technique.

Very important, very important!
So they all began searching for the person who had embroidered this "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting.

Yu Xian's screen recordings were repeatedly shared and watched.

Moreover, after Cuilan's broadcast ended, her embroidery segment went viral, trending on social media and leaving netizens amazed.

However, while netizens were amazed and impressed by the superb embroidery skills, they were unaware that it might be a lost art form.
