Since Xu Qian walked on the street in the wisteria skirt, Ling'an Prefecture suddenly beca popular to make silk into artificial flowers and sew them into the dress. However, no matter how others imitated, they couldn't surpass the skills of Lin Dan. Instead, they felt that they were picking up people's wisdom and making fun of others.
On this day, after resting for a long ti, Lin Dan finally picked up the needle and thread and was about to start working. Sitting opposite her, Du Ruyan told her in detail about the situation of the guest, "This order was made by Miss Zhou, the daughter of administrative commissioner's office. She wanted you to make a flower dress like that of Xu Qian, but I refused. I said the dresses in our shop are unique. There is only one in the world, and we won't repeat it. We will make a dress for her as we do to serve her. Only she wears the most beautiful dress, and no one can imitate her. She was very happy to hear that and gave a deposit. It's funny. Now embroiders are learning from you to sew the fake flowers on the dress, but they don't succeed. Instead, their dresses are very vulgar. Can you imagine what such a big artificial flower would look like on the hemline? It's even more exaggerated than the big red flower on the bridegroom's chest. The person who wears it is swollen several tis! "
Du Ruyan laughed for a while, then picked up the order and said, "I'll read Miss Zhou's requirents for you. She wanted to wear a new dress to go up to the Chung Yeung Festival, but she was thin and afraid of the cold. So she wanted you to make the dress thicker, but at the sa ti, she had to keep light and elegant. It's a little difficult to be thick and light! "
Lin Dan shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. I have a constitution in my heart. To make a thick dress elegant, one had to work on the material. What does she look like? What color does she like? Does she have a favorite pattern? "
"Although she is thin, her cheeks are plump, and her eyes are round and big. She is very cute. She likes pink and butterfly patterns. "
"Then make a pink dress with hundreds of butterflies for her." Lin Dan said seriously.
"No, no, No. you can't." Du Ruyan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I just got the news that Li Jiarong has also ordered a dress with hundreds of butterflies from ng Si, and she is going to wear it to go up on the Chung Yeung Festival. Both of them are the Ling'an mansion's, noble ladies. They will definitely be together on the day of mountain climbing. Isn't it a coincidence? "
"It doesn't matter. If I have the sa idea as soone else, I will consider changing it. But ng Si? I won't change it."
Thinking of the rumor released by the ng's embroidery house recently that her embroidering skills were diocre and could only be opportunistic, Lin Dan was a little unhappy. Although she had cald down a little, she still had an unyielding spirit in her heart. If ng Si didn't make things difficult for her, she wouldn't take the initiative to provoke her. But now, it was obvious that ng Si was deliberately targeting her, so she would not escape.
Du Ruyan thumped the table heavily and agreed, "Okay, I won't change it. Let's have a face-to-face battle with ng Si! If you make a better dress than ng Si, will Li Jiarong, who wore the sa dress as Miss Zhou that day, cry on the spot? Hee hee "
If ng Si was Lin Dan's sworn enemy, then Li Jiarong was her enemy. It would be great if the two of them could make a fool of themselves at the sa ti.
Lin Dan took the order and read it. She rembered Miss Zhou's size secretly and then asked the two concubines of her father to take the silk cocoons stored in the warehouse to the kitchen to roast. Although the two won didn't know what she wanted to do, they went without asking. Since she started to make money, she had been the center of the family. No one else would object to what she wanted to do.
"It's too late for you to make cloth by yourself, isn't it?"Said Du Ruyan hesitantly.
"No, I'm going to blister the silk cocoon and pull it into a silk bag. Then I'll sew a separate layer and put it into the cloth so that I can make a warm and light dress. When the dress was dirty, you can take out the inner layer and clean the outer suit. "Lin Dan explained briefly.
"You an you want to make a cotton coat with soaked silk?"It suddenly dawned on Du Ruyan that silk could be stuffed in her clothes to keep warm like cotton. Silk was more delicate and thin than cotton. After layers of silk pockets were pulled together, the sa thickness and weight were only 1/10 or even 1/20 of cotton. It looked very fluffy, but with a gentle press, it was as thin as a cicada's wings. In this way, the dress would be thick, light, and warm. If it was in spring, sumr, and autumn, they could also take out the inner layer and wear it as a thin dress, which was very convenient.
"Dan! People always say that you are not good at embroidery, but it's better than thinking. They are right! You are so clever! "
"Thank you. My brain is really working."Lin Dan nodded without sha. No matter who she had beco or where she had fallen, the only weapon she could use to live in peace was this smart head.
After thinking for a while, Du Ruyan said, "If Miss Zhou feels comfortable in my clothes, we can make so silk cloth and sell it. This is also an inco. By the way, isn't it troubleso to make silk cloth? "
"It's ti and energy-consuming. There are six steps in total. If you want to make mass production, you have to ask more embroider for help. Let's talk about it after our embroidery shop opens. You can keep it in mind first. "Lin Dan waved her hand calmly.
Du Ruyan nodded and wrote down this profitable project on a small notebook, full of admiration for Lin Dan. Lin Dan was not only good at embroidering but also smart. When she encountered difficulties, she was not afraid of difficulties and would not admit defeat. Following her, Du Ruyan had learned a lot and was full of hope for the future. If it weren't for her, she would still complain about the beautiful and muddled along, and how could she understand the joy of fighting.
"It's so good to be indifferent to you! Why are you so capable? "Du Ruyan's heart was touched. She walked to the embroidery rack and kissed Lin Dan with a smile.
As usual, Lin Dan worked, unmoved. Du Rusong, who had just jumped up to the wall, coughed awkwardly. He had found out the little girl first, but now she beca his sister's apple on the eye?
"Yaner, Auntie had a cold and felt unwell a few days ago. You go to the Taoist temple to see her. I'm very busy recently and can't co back. I'll leave everything to you. "He urged, "I've packed your luggage. Co back and change your clothes. Uncle Sun sets up a carriage and sends you up the mountain."
Hearing that her aunt was sick, Du Ruyan didn't dare to delay and hurried back. Lin Dan opened the back door and watched her carriage leave. When she saw Du Rusong co out on his horse, she said in a hurry, "Mr. Du, the thing you want is ready. I'll go get it for you."
Du Rusong imdiately tightened the reins and stopped at the roadside.
After a short while, Lin Dan handed him a huge package and seriously said, "Mr.Du, you must co back alive."
She had already known that the illness of the empress was fake, and it was true to send Du Ruoyan to the Taoist temple for proper treatnt. The determination and cruelty in Du Rusong's eyes were undisguised, which only belonged to a soldier who was about to enter the battlefield.
Du Rusong was slightly stunned, but soon he smiled and replied seriously, "I will." He took the package, but his arm was pressed down by the unexpected weight. He was surprised.
"Hurry up. No one is waiting for us in the battle."Lin Dan said. Du Rusong suppressed his curiosity and left in a hurry.
At the sa ti, Li Jiarong was discussing with ng Si about what to do with her new dress.
"A dress with hundreds of butterflies could be good, but it's a little monotonous. Why don't you cut the gauze into the shape of a butterfly and sew it to the dress? Isn't it more agile and outstanding? "Li Jiarong suggested excitedly.
"There are both butterflies and flowers in the pattern. Why is it so monotonous?"ng Si protested. Even one of Lin'an mansion was imitating what Lin Dan did, she wouldn't follow. She could lose to anyone, but she couldn't lose to Lin Dan. Although there were reasons for the family's hatred, it was because she had an inexplicable fear and rejection of her.
"The flower pattern has been out of date for a long ti," Li Jiarong opened her suitcase and complained, "Look, every dress I pick out is a flower pattern. It's either butterfly dancing or flowers blooming. Can't you be as creative as Lin Dan? I also want to wear clothes different from others, and I want to be the object of everyone's imitation. If they sew fake flowers, let's sew butterflies. That's beautiful? ng Si, if you keep acting like this, you will lose to Dan Lin sooner or later. Lin Dan just started to learn embroidery, and, indeed, she's not as good as you, but the embroidery skill can be improved through hard work. Not everyone can learn novel ideas and ingenious workmanship. You are not as talented as her in this respect. You should work harder since you are less talented than her! "
The last sentence seed to be a heavy blow to ng Si. Her eyes darkened. She struggled for a long ti and said, "Okay, I'll do as you think."
Li Jiarong imdiately beca happy. She held ng Si's hand and said, "That's right! There is no limit to any skill or knowledge. We should always learn from others' strengths to improve ourselves. This is the way to advance. "
Although ng Si seed to agree with him, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
A few days later, Du Ruyan was still accompanying the empress on the mountain, but Du Rusong ca at night and knocked on the back door of the Lin mansion.
"You're back alive!" Lin Dan greeted with a wave of his hand.
What did he an? Du Rusong shook his head and said in a gentle voice, "Yes, I'm back."He took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to her. "This is my booty. I'll give it to you."
As soon as Lin Dan opened the bag, she saw a golden doll as thick as a thumb lying inside, with a round head and a round belly. It was very cute. She imdiately returned the bag and waved her hand. "This is too expensive. I can't take it. You can give it to Ruoyan. "
Du Rusong grabbed her hand and stuffed the bag into her palm. He said word by word, "I have prepared another gift for her. This is yours. Look."He pointed at his leather armor and said, "You saved my life, but I just gave you a golden doll. I feel guilty in the end. If I can return to the capital city in the future, I will realize a wish for you. This is my promise. "
It was not until then that Lin Dan found that his leather armor was cut by the enemy from the shoulder to the waist. His cowhide had been cut and rolled over, revealing the pure black iron in it. Without the protection of this layer of leather armor, he was very likely to have turned into a broken corpse.
Mr. Du's life was naturally more precious than a golden doll. Thinking of this, Lin Dan imdiately closed his fingers and took the trophy with ease.
"Then you must work hard and co back to the capital city as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you to protect . "Du Rusong was amused by her serious warning.
"Okay, I will rember what you said."He couldn't help but rub the little girl's head before striding away. The night slowly spread over, completely swallowing his back full of blood.
