109. 31

It has been three months since Empress Du returned to the capital, and Lin Dan's brocade was also selected as a tribute and transported to the palace. It may have been worn on her at this moment. I heard that the emperor favored her very much and brought the best palace, the best jewelry, and the best gorgeous clothes to her.

But Empress Du was still unmoved and set up a Taoist temple in Qiwu Hall. She practiced every day and never stepped out of the hall gate. The concubines who wanted to pay homage to her were blocked by the guards sent by the emperor. Occasionally, she summoned Concubine Min, but Concubine Min raised her in front of her and committed suicide by hitting the pillar. She was demoted to the cold palace and the unbearable past events made her heart, which was slightly warmed, immediately frozen into ice. She did not eat or drink or sleep for three consecutive days, just to force the emperor to send her away from this place where people cannibalism.

The emperor was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He ran to Concubine Min's palace and scolded her, and scolded her as a foot washer. If the queen had not been supported by her back then, how could she have been today? Not only did she not know how to be grateful, she also made things difficult for the queen. She was really a bitch, and she would forget her roots once she gained power!

The ninth prince, who was pinched by the palace maid, could not let the emperor calm down. After he left, he immediately issued an imperial edict to demote Concubine Min to a concubine, deprived her of title, and was confined to the palace from then on. What Li Jiarong said that day finally planted a seed called "skepticism" in the emperor's heart. It would be fine if Concubine Min was dormant, but she could not control her temper and ran to provoke Queen Du. This time, it happened to poke the emperor's pain, and also made his suspicion of Concubine Min and the Li family reach its peak.

Li Concubine Li's life was harder, and Li Ran's life was even worse. People in Lin'an Mansion were watching his jokes. No one implemented the decrees he issued, no one agreed with the initiative he proposed, and he completely became a decoration.

On the other hand, Du Rusong rose up straight, from a hundred households to a thousand households, and was promoted to general. I think that in the near future, even Admiral Xu would have to bow his head in front of him. But others could not catch his mistakes, because he was literary and martial, dared to fight and do. When he went to the battle to kill the enemy, he often rushed to the first place. The merits he got were all based on his own ability, without any falsehood. He was also very good at winning people's hearts. He remembered all his names with his soldiers, and from time to time he would go to the barracks to drink and chat with them, without any airs. He was not negligent about his upsurge, and his style of conduct was truly unscathing.

"Are the golden scales not objects in the pond? They turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds?" This sentence is very appropriate to describe Du Rusong. He is not an ordinary person at all. He was able to make a fortune by being maliciously suppressed by the Li family. Now, with the care of Empress Du and the emperor, he has soared into the sky and sky rises straight up.

Under the leadership of Lin Dan, Du Ruyan made his silk business prosperous. After the reputation of Zhujin was spread, not only the ladies and ladies from Lin'an Mansion would come to Danyan Embroidery House to buy cloth, but even people from several surrounding cities came to buy it. Zhujin is a tribute and they couldn't buy it, but it was not bad compared to Zhujin's second-class silk and brocade, which was enough to compare Shujin produced by Meng's embroidery house.

"Dandan, there are more and more people buying cloth recently. Why don't we go and find a few Weaver Girls to come back and expand their childbirth?" Du Ruyan stood by the railing on the second floor and looked down, with a sigh on her face. There were people who bought cloth, embroidery, and some who came to join in the fun. On the other hand, although the Meng embroidery shop opposite was not a place, it could not be compared with the Danyan embroidery shop.

"Can you hire a few more Weaver Girls to come back. Can you guarantee that they will not pass on the techniques of learning the techniques of marble and Western Array Weaving?" Lin Dan waved his hand and said, "The cloth is enough now, and there is no need to be more. If there is too much, it will be worthless. We are taking the route of being a little but fine, not a bad street product."

In order to ensure that the technology is not leaked, Lin Dan always bought female slaves from Renyazi to weave cloth. The female slaves who signed the contract for sale generally would not run away. Even if they ran away, they could report to the officials to catch them, and they could also punish the people who harbored them. Queen Du was in charge of the above, and these cloth merchants in Lin'an Prefecture would rob Lin Dan's weaver girl unless they were full.

Du Ruyan thought about it and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Dandan, you said I can do business. In fact, you are better than me. You are just impatient to care about these trivial matters."

Lin Dan smiled and shook her head, and then continued to embroider. At this moment, Xu Qian took a maid to the second floor, followed by a diligent female shopkeeper. Miss Xu was a distinguished guest of Danyan Embroidery Village, and everyone in Lin'an Mansion knew about this. Lin Dan rarely embroidered clothes for others now, but as long as it was Xu Qian's request, she would agree. Who said that Xu Qian was a loyal customer of Danyan Embroidery Village would never change her attitude towards her because of Lin Dan's ups and downs. They did not distinguish between high and low, did not talk about interests, and were friends from the beginning.

"Oh, Qianqian, you are here. Your clothes are ready, I'll take them for you." Du Ruyan immediately threw down the abacus in her hand.

Lin Dan also put down the embroidery needle and said warmly: "You go to the screen first and try it, I'll change it for you where it doesn't fit."

"Thank you, Dandan." Xu Qian covered her mouth and smiled, showing her bright and charming appearance. Although her appearance is only seven points, because her temperament is unique enough, she will not look inferior even when standing with a group of ladies. Now she is wearing a fairy dress made by Lin Dan all day long. It is really the most beautiful scenery in Lin'an Mansion. Wherever she goes, she is the focus of attention. Although the eldest prince did not express his intention to accept her, she warned Admiral Xu and General Li before leaving, and temporarily solved her crisis, so she lives very freely now.

After being watched many times, Xu Qian's self-confidence also increased, and her temperament was still calm, but there was a hint of unreflectiveness. She slowly walked to Lin Dan and stared at her unfinished embroidery work, her eyes full of admiration.

Xu Qian was looking at the embroidery work, but the distinguished guests on the second floor surrounded her, preparing to see what kind of dress Lin Dan made for her today. Now she is the trendy vane of Lin'an Mansion. What kind of clothes she wore today, and you will see them all over the street tomorrow.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to pull her down and become Lin Dan’s exclusive guest. But Lin Dan is taciturn and indifferent, so she is definitely not an easy target to please. If he had known that Lin Dan would have today, when the Lin family was in a downturn, these guests would have to reach out to pull her and make a good relationship.

Seeing Xu Qian go up the second floor, more and more guests come to join in the fun. They need to see Lin Danxin’s dresses as soon as possible, and then let the embroiderer of Danyan Embroidery House copy it. Although others do it far less than Lin Dan’s fairy-like style, at least the style is the same and will not be ridiculed by others.

Du Ruyan just turned around and took something, and the second floor was filled with the guests who were looking at her inside and outside, causing her mouth to twitch.

"Give it, let it go." She squeezed out of the aisle with difficulty.

"What style is this dress today and what cloth is used?" a guest asked enthusiastically.

"The fabrics you use are available in the store. You can find them yourself later, but the patterns on the fabrics are lightly embroidered by hand, so you may not be able to restore them." Du Ruyan said in a bad mood.

The guests immediately sighed. Now everyone knows that Lin Dan's embroidery skills are the most powerful in Lin'an Mansion, and it is impossible to restore her embroidery! Sure enough, when Xu Qian changed her clothes and walked out from behind the screen, the guests couldn't even sigh, and could only look at her in a daze.

This is a set of chest-length skirts. A pink ribbon passes through his armpits and forms a rose in front of Xu Qian's chest, which completely outlines her plump breasts, making her legs look particularly slender. The pure white skirt is natural and fluffy, and it floats like a cloud. It doesn't seem surprising. But when Xu Qian walked to the window, she suddenly discovered that this pure white fabric was embroidered with a single piece of silk to create pink roses. The silk was too thin and could not be seen at the backlight, and it would flash a faint glow in the sun.

Every time Xu Qian takes, the pink roses change with the light and shadow, which feels really dreamy. The underwear uses pink cicada wing gauze, which is covered by a blouse, and only slightly exposed on the collar, cuffs, and the end of the skirt, which has the finishing touch.

Everyone stared at Xu Qian who was in a daze, holding their breath and thinking: Lin Xiu Niang will never disappoint people. After the skirt embroidered by her hands, there is no second one in the world.

Lin Dan felt unsatisfied, so she walked around Xu Qian twice, then took out a few feet of pink gauze, cut it into a silk cloth, and made a rose with a fake and real one with gauze of the same color and texture, and asked Xu Qian to wear it.

Xu Qian, who put on silk and silk flowers, was different from her elegant and simple appearance before, as if she added a touch of bright color and a little more charming.

"Dandan, your skills are getting better and better!" Xu Qian pulled the hem of the skirt and looked at it for a while, and praised sincerely.

Before Lin Dan could speak, the ladies gathered around the door to watch the fun, and the ladies shouted with hope, "Miss Lin, are you still available recently? Help me make a dress like this! The price will be available for you!"

"My family is busy studying embroidery skills and has no time to take orders. What's more, she never makes the same skirt." Du Ruyan pushed these people out and said, "You can find someone else to do it. Don't get stuck here, we still have to do business." Since her brother's official position was frequently promoted and her aunt returned to the imperial city, her previous arrogance has returned. If anyone is hindered from her eyes, she will fight up and will not give anyone any face. But these women in Lin'an Mansion did not dare to provoke her at all, and they have to hold it carefully. Her old enemy Li Jiarong has not appeared for a long time. I heard that one of her calf was interrupted by Li Ran and was about to be raised at home.

Everyone dispersed reluctantly under Du Ruyan's scolding, but at this moment, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in and wanted to search the store without saying a word. Du Ruyan and the shopkeeper joined forces to stop them but failed to stop them. They were so anxious that they quickly sent someone to find Du Rusong.
