Having been with Lin Dan for a long time, Du Ruyan knew that she was a very down-to-earth person, she would not lie, and would not promise anything she couldn't do. She said that she could embroider fabrics more beautiful than phoenix fire with embroidery needles, and Du Ruyan was convinced of this.
"How are you going to embroider?" Du Ruyan asked hurriedly after returning home. If Lin Dan can really embroider Yunxia cloth or Yuehui cloth, no matter how good the Shu brocade of Mengshi Embroidery Village is, it will not be able to seize the weaving market in Zhejiang Province, let alone the quota of royal merchants. The nobles in the palace have always used only the most beautiful and precious fabrics, including Lin Dan's Yunxia cloth and Yuehui cloth and pearl jade. In this way, even if the Danyan Embroidery Village is not large in scale and the output is not high, it is not something that Meng Zhong can easily touch.
"Just embroider with reeled silk," Lin Dan walked into the backyard, and Cui Lan, who was reeling silk, stood up immediately and called out to Miss. She was used to being a rough maid, her fingers were full of calluses, and it was difficult to perform delicate embroidery work, so she came to learn to weave. But so far, she has only learned the first process of weaving, reeling silk, and the next steps have to be slowly pondered.
Lin Dan nodded to Cuilan, and gave a few words of encouragement. Then he picked up a bunch of silk, carefully picked out one of them, and said to Du Ruyan, "Look, embroidery thread is made of these silks twisted one by one. They are made together. No matter how thin the embroidery thread is, it is also composed of dozens or even hundreds of silk threads. If you hang a silk thread in the air, it is almost completely invisible to the naked eye, but when the sun shines, it will It will reflect the crystal light and let you discover its existence. What I want is this kind of feeling that seems to be non-existent, but in fact there is a faint light."
She raised her hand and dangled the silk in the air. It is really difficult to find the extremely thin silk if you don't observe it carefully. But when you turn around and look at the sun, you'll find a looming beam of light in the sky. It is this silk with light that forms the silk that is smooth and transparent like a mirror.
Du Ruyan suddenly realized: "Dan, I understand what you want to do. However, how thin a needle does it take to go through this kind of silk? How much does it cost to embroider silk on the fabric one by one to form a complicated pattern? Time and energy? Would it be too hard?" Only then did she understand why most Xiu Niangs were blind before they turned 50. The work of embroidery is too detailed and too vast!
"I have good eyes, don't worry." Lin Dan waved his hands indifferently. Due to the secret practice of internal strength, her eyes can see things in the dark night, so she has no troubles in this regard.
After thinking about it for a while, she firmly said: "No matter how much time and energy it takes, we must make better fabrics, so that we can settle down. Once a shop has a fist product, when others come in the middle of the road. , in order to strike hard and smash their conspiracy."
Offense is the best defense, and she has always believed in that.
Du Ruyan said with emotion: "Dan, you are so right! We must do something that others can't do in order to become an irreplaceable existence. Dian, why are you so powerful? You never know when faced with difficulties. Panic, but actively trying to find a solution, no wonder my brother always asks me to learn from you."
Du Ruyan stayed in the palace for five years, and all he learned was intrigue and intrigue. Those things made her view of life more and more negative, but after being with Lin Dan, she suddenly realized that the things that made her resent, disgust, and even fear them in the past were nothing! The real power lies not on the surface, but on the inside.
The cloud over her head dissipated immediately, she followed Lin Dan like a follower, watching her dye silk into various colors, watching her use sand and gravel to grind the already very fine embroidery needles. More detailed, eyes full of admiration.
Lin Dan is the most powerful person she has ever met, bar none.
…
When Lin Dan was still embroidering fabrics one stitch by one thread, Mengshi Embroidery Village successively launched a series of fabrics with Phoenix Fire, including green, blue, purple, etc. Due to the low output, they could only produce five pieces a month. So the ladies and ladies of Lin'an Prefecture almost broke their heads for it.
The number of people who went to Danyan Embroidery Village to customize embroidered clothes gradually decreased, until later, no order was received for two consecutive months. Meng's Embroidery Village will put a new-style Shu brocade on the shelf every six days, and the ladies and ladies of Lin'an will visit his house every six days. Go for other fabrics. The new style of Shu brocade has driven the sales of other fabrics, and it has also allowed Mengshi Embroidery Village to steal the business of surrounding shops.
There are constantly cloth merchants looking for Meng Zhong to seek cooperation. If he can pay a price that satisfies him, the business can naturally be done. So gradually, Lin Dan found that his store was running out of stock again, and even the few embroidered women who had just recruited left one after another to make a living. If it goes on like this, Danyan Embroidery Village will collapse sooner or later.
However, she was not in a hurry at all, just stayed at home and embroidered in peace. Du Ruyan visited the store every day, or sat in the empty hall to drink tea, or leaned against the window to watch the scenery, eating and drinking, without the panic that some people expected.
Meng Zhong stood on the second floor and looked down with a gloomy expression.
Li Xiudian poured him a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Du Ruyan was raised after being abandoned, and her character is very good. If you want to see her dejected appearance, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"What does she have to do with me? My opponent has never been her." Still unable to find Lin Dan's figure, Meng Zhong felt a little uneasy, but held back. This time, he wanted to see how Lin Dan turned over.
…
Three months later, Lin Dan finally finished the embroidery of Yunxia cloth and Yuehui cloth, and was about to rest for a few days when he heard noises from next door. She was about to climb up the wall to take a look, but saw Sun Bo hurriedly ran into her backyard with red eyes.
"Miss Lin, something happened to the young master, please take a last look at him."
"What did you say?" Before Lin Dan could ask, Zhang Hui, who ran in behind Uncle Sun, was already stunned. She never expected that Sun Bo insisted on seeing her daughter for such a thing. A good-looking person, how can there be no more if there is no
Lin Dan immediately took off his sleeve and walked out, "Where is he? I'll go see him." No matter why Uncle Sun made such a strange request, she was bound to do so.
The two quickly walked out of the gate and saw that Du Ruyan was already waiting on the carriage, her eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously cried, and her hands were shaking all the time, as if she was about to collapse. Lin Dan immediately took her into his arms and patted her gently, saying firmly: "Let's go see your brother first, maybe the situation is not so bad. Crying is useless, the more critical it is, the more calm we must be. Otherwise, how can you find a way to save people?"
Du Ruyan quickly wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously. As long as Lin Dan was there, she would not be afraid.
Uncle Sun explained as he drove the car: "In order to save the eldest prince, Young Master was shot by a Japanese pirate. The arrow pierced into his left chest and was close to his heart. Now that the First Prince has brought Young Master back for treatment, Young Master said that he wanted to see you. Let me take you there." At the end, Uncle Sun's voice was choked up, unable to continue.
Du Ruyan gritted her teeth, not letting herself cry.
Only Lin Dan was the most calm, and said slowly, "It's close to the heart, which means that it hasn't really hurt the heart? People can still be saved, don't worry, go check the situation first."
"Okay, okay, we're not in a hurry. If there is help, there will definitely be help." Du Ruyan slowly regained her composure, and when she looked at Lin Dan's calm profile again, she felt a lot more at ease. If it wasn't for Lin Dan, she didn't know what to do now.
At the same time, Du Rusong was pointing at the arrows on his chest and said with all his might, "Doctor, Miss Lin and my sister are coming soon, please cut off the exposed arrows and put on a robe for me. , I'm afraid to scare them."
"Cut off the body of the arrow, how can I pull it out later? I think you don't want to live anymore." The doctor shook his head and refused, with a somewhat angry expression.
The eldest prince said with red eyes: "If you can pull out the arrow smoothly, you will be able to live, don't think about those who have it now."
Du Rusong shook his head and smiled bitterly, already knowing what he was going to face. The arrow has a barb, and when it is pulled out, a layer of flesh and blood will be cut out, and his wound is only half an inch away from the heart pulse. When it is pulled, the heart will definitely be broken, and how can a person live? Unless the doctor can not pull the arrow, but directly insert it deeper, and then pierce the skin behind, and pull it out. However, this method of operation is more difficult than pulling it out, and no one can guarantee that the strength and stability of the hands can be maintained during the insertion of the arrow. If the strength is strong and weak, and the hands are swayed left and right, the arrow will also sway in the body, forming a larger wound. As long as it is slightly deviated, it will also be a dead end when it hits the heart or other blood vessels.
Thinking of this, Du Rusong looked at the eldest prince with a very self-blaming expression: "Am I being too selfish? I shouldn't let Ruyan and Miss Lin see me like this. Forget it, send them back. If I die Now, please take good care of them."
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said: "If you die, I won't care about them, so you'd better live for me! People have already come, why send them back? With them watching, are you willing to die? You Cheer me up!"
The doctor shook his head regretfully: "If the force of this arrow could be stronger and shot directly through Du Gongzi's body, the wound would be much easier to deal with. I don't think this arrow has hurt the heart, but if we are hard Pulling out the arrow will only accelerate the deterioration of the injury. Alas, this old man has been in medicine for decades, and he has never seen such a difficult situation. This is not the case for pulling the arrow, nor is it difficult to pull it out!"
Du Rusong wanted to wave his hand, but found that he was running out of energy, so he could only close his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Then keep it, and I'll talk about it when I meet Ruyan and Miss Lin." He shouldn't have called Lin Dan here. , but before dying, he was so eager to see her again, so long that his heart would continue to beat as long as he thought of her.
He silently told himself in the bottom of his heart: Forget it, let's be selfish this time, anyway, this is the last time...
