Since Xu Qian walked on the street wearing the wisteria flower skirt, Lin'an Mansion suddenly became very popular to make silk silk into fake flowers and sew it onto the skirt. But no matter how others imitate it, they could never surpass Lin Dan's craftsmanship. Instead, they felt like they were picking up people's teeth and making laughter.

On this day, Lin Dan, who had enough rest, finally picked up the needle and thread and was about to start work. Du Ruyan sat opposite her and told the customer in detail: "This order was given by Miss Zhou from the governor's family. She originally wanted you to help her make a flower skirt like Xu Qian, but I refused. I said that the skirts in our store are unique, there is only one in the world, and we will never repeat them. We will tailor one for her like serving Xu Qian.

The skirt is the most beautiful only when she wears it, and no one can imitate it. She was very happy to hear it and gave a deposit happily. It was funny to say that now the embroiderers on the street are learning from you, sewing fake flowers on the skirt, but they don’t learn it, but they are very vulgar. Can you imagine what it would be like to sew a fake flower on the hem of the skirt? It is even more exaggerated than the big red flower worn by the groom’s chest, and it will swollen several times when worn!"

Du Ruyan laughed for a while before picking up the order and said, "I'll give you the request of Miss Zhou. She wants to wear a new skirt to climb on the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, but she is thinner and afraid of the cold, so she wants you to make the skirt thicker, but keep it light and flowing. It must be thick and light, which is a bit embarrassing!"

Lin Dan shook her head and said, "It's okay, I have a formula in my mind. To make the thick skirt elegant, you have to work hard on the material. How does she look, what color she likes, and do she have preferred patterns?"

"Although she is thin, her cheeks are plump, her eyes are round and big, and she is very cute. She prefers pink and likes butterfly patterns."

"Then make her a pink butterfly skirt." Lin Dan said.

"Hey, no, no, you can't make a hundred butterfly skirt." Du Ruyan waved his hand quickly: "I just heard a news that Li Jiarong also ordered a hundred butterfly skirt from Meng Si, and she also wanted to wear it out to climb the heights on the Double Ninth Festival. Both of them are high-end gates in Lin'an Mansion, and they will definitely make an appointment on the day of climbing the mountain. Wouldn't that be the same?"

Lin Dan said distractedly: "Not hindrance, if I bumped into someone else, I would consider changing it. If I bumped into Meng Si, I would definitely not change it."

Thinking of the rumors released by Meng's embroidery shop in recent days that derogatory her embroidery skills and only know how to take advantage of her, Lin Dan was a little uncomfortable. Although her temperament had been a little smoother, she still had the spirit of not admitting defeat and not accepting her fate. If Meng Si did not make things difficult for her, she would not take the initiative to provoke the other party. But at the moment, Meng Si was obviously targeting her deliberately, so she would not escape.

Du Ruyan slapped the table hard and agreed: "Okay, if you don't change, don't change it. Let's compete with Meng Si head-on! If the Baidie Skirt you made is better than Meng Si, would Li Jiarong, who was wearing the same clothes as Miss Zhou that day, would she cry on the spot? Hehehe..."

If Meng Si is Lin Dan's mortal enemy, then Li Jiarong is Du Ruyan's enemy. It would be great if the two of them were fooled at the same time.

Lin Dan took the order and looked at it, secretly remembering the size of Miss Zhou, and then asked the two aunts to take the cocoons preserved in the warehouse to the kitchen to bake. Although the two aunts didn't know what she wanted to do, they went there without asking. Since Lin Dan started making money, the family has been centered on her everything, and she can do whatever she asks her, and others will not have any objections.

"Do you want to wash yarn and weave cloth yourself? Isn't it a little too late?" Du Ruyan hesitated.

"No, I want to soak the cocoons, pull them into silk cotton bags, and sew a sandwich separately and put them in the fabric, so that I can make a warm and light skirt. When I wear dirty clothes, take out the sandwich and just wash the pullover outside." Lin Dan explained a few simple words.

"What do you mean is that you want to make a cotton coat with soaked silk?" Du Ruyan suddenly realized. She didn't expect that silk could be used to stuff it into clothes like cotton to keep warm. Silk is more delicate and thin than cotton. After being pulled into layers of cotton and overlapped together, the same thickness is only one-tenth of that of cotton, or even one-twentieth of cotton. It looks very fluffy, but it is as thin as a cicada's wing with a light press. In this way, there is a thick feeling, a light feeling, and it is still very warm. If it is spring, summer and autumn, you can also take out the interlayer and wear it as a thin shirt, which is very convenient.

"Dandan, others say that you are not good at embroidery, but you are better than clever thoughts. This is really half true! Your head is so easy to use!"

"Thank you, my head is really easy to use." Lin Dan nodded without shame. No matter who she became or where she fell, the only weapon she could settle down was this relatively smart mind.

Du Ruyan thought for a moment and said, "If Miss Zhou feels comfortable wearing it, let's make a batch of silk cotton cloth to sell it. This is also an input. Having said that, isn't it troublesome to make silk cotton cloth?"

"It's time-consuming and labor-intensive. There are six processes in total. If you want to produce in large quantities, you have to ask more embroidery girls to help you. When our embroidery shop starts, you can write it down first." Lin Dan waved his hand calmly.

Du Ruyan nodded while recording this money-making project in a small notebook, full of admiration for Lin Dan. Lin Dan is both skilled and smart, and has a tenacity to not be afraid of hardship and not admit defeat when encountering difficulties. Following her, Du Ruyan has really learned a lot and is full of hope for the future. If it weren't for Lin Dan, she would probably still be complaining about the world and just live by herself, and how could she understand the joy of hard work and struggle?

"Dandan, you are so nice! Why are you so capable?" Du Ruyan's heart was touched. He walked around the embroidery rack and kissed Lin Dan with a smile.

Lin Dan was still threading needles and was unmoved. Du Rusong, who had just jumped onto the wall, coughed awkwardly. He originally discovered this little girl first, but why has she become the favorite of her sister now?

"Yan'er, my aunt felt a cold a few days ago and was unwell. You go to the Taoist temple to see her. I've been very busy recently and can't come back, so I'll leave everything to you." He urged: "I'll pack all my luggage for you. Come back quickly and change your clothes. Uncle Sun will put on a carriage and take you up the mountain."

When she heard that her aunt was sick, Du Ruyan dared not delay and hurriedly ran back. Lin Dan opened the back corner door and watched her carriage leave. Later, she saw Du Rusong riding out on a horse and quickly said, "Mr. Du, what you want is ready, I'll go and get it for you."

Du Rusong immediately tightened the reins and stopped by the roadside.

After a while, Lin Dan handed him a huge package and seriously reminded him: "Young Master Du, you must come back alive."

She had long seen that it was fake to Queen Du's illness, and it was true to send Du Ruyan to the Taoist temple to properly place it. Du Rusong's eyes were not concealed at all. This was the look that only a soldier who was about to set foot on the battlefield would have.

Du Rusong was slightly stunned, and smiled in an instant, and replied seriously: "I can." He took the package, but his arm was pressed down by unexpected weight, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Go quickly, the war is not waiting for anyone." Lin Dan urged, and Du Rusong immediately suppressed his thoughts of inquiry and hurriedly left.

At the same time, Li Jiarong is discussing with Meng Si how to make her new skirt.

"The picture of "Hundred Butterflies wearing flowers is beautiful, but it's just a bit too monotonous. Why don't you cut gauze into the shape of a butterfly and sew it onto the skirt? Wouldn't this be more lively and brilliant?" Li Jiarong suggested excitedly.

"The picture of "Hundred Butterflies with colorful butterflies and balls of flowers" seems monotonous?" Meng Si's face was full of resistance. Even if the embroiderer of Man Lin'an Mansion imitated Lin Dan's approach, she would not follow the trend. She could lose to anyone, but she could never lose to Lin Dan. Although there were reasons for family hatred, the inside was because she had an inexplicable fear and repulsion towards Lin Dan.

"The picture of a hundred butterfly wearing flowers has long been out of date," Li Jiarong opened her wardrobe and complained, "Look, I picked a few clothes and it was all the pictures of a hundred butterfly wearing flowers. It was either a colorful butterfly or a hundred flowers blooming. Can't you be as innovative as Lin Dan? I also want to wear clothes that are different from others, and I also want to be the object of imitation for everyone. If people sew fake flowers, we sew color butterfly, so beautiful and novel? Meng Si, it's not me that you, if you keep complacent like this, sooner or later, you will lose to Lin Dan. Lin Dan just learned embroidery for a while, and he is indeed not as good as you, but the embroidery skills can be improved through hard work. Not everyone can learn novel ideas and ingenious workmanship. At this point, you are not as good as Lin Dan. If you have less talent than her, you should work harder!"

The last sentence seemed to have caused a certain blow to Meng Si. Her eyes darkened and she struggled for a long time before she said, "Okay, I will do it according to your ideas."

Li Jiarong immediately became happy, held Meng Si's hand and said, "That's right! Any skills or knowledge is endless. We must always absorb other people's strengths to make up for ourselves. This is the way to advance."

Meng Si agreed on the surface, but felt a little uncomfortable after all.

A few days later, Du Ruyan was still accompanying Empress Du on the mountain, but Du Rusong arrived at night and knocked on the back corner of Lin's mansion.

"You are back alive!" Lin Dan greeted her with a raised hand.

What are these words? Du Rusong shook his head and smiled, with a gentle voice: "Yes, I'm back." He took out a small purse from his arms and handed it over: "This is my spoil, I'll give it to you."

Lin Dan opened the purse and saw that there was a golden doll as thick as a thumb lying inside. Her round head was connected to her round belly, which was very cute. She immediately returned the purse and waved her hand and said, "This is too expensive, I can't ask for it. You can give it to Ruyan."

Du Rusong grabbed her hand, stuffed her purse into her palm, and said word by word: "I have prepared another gift for Ruyan, this is yours. Look," he pointed to the leather armor on his body: "You saved my life, I just gave you a golden doll, and I feel guilty after all. If I can return to the capital in the future, I will fulfill a wish for you, which is my promise."

Lin Dan then realized that the leather armor on his body was slashed hard by the Japanese pirates from his shoulders to his waist. The cowhide had been cut and rolled over, revealing the pure black iron sheets inside. If it were not for this layer of leather armor protection, he would have probably turned into a broken corpse now.

Mr. Du's life is naturally very precious than a golden doll. Thinking of this, Lin Dan immediately closed his five fingers and accepted the spoil with peace of mind.

"Then you must work hard and strive to return to the capital as soon as possible. I'll wait for you to protect me." Lin Dan reminded me seriously, but made Du Rusong laugh.
