The next day, Xu Ling led a group of servants to the Meng family embroidery shop. When the shopkeeper saw her in a fierce look, he knew that she was coming to find fault, so he hurried forward to stop the people, but was kicked away.

"Meng Si, Meng Si, come out for me!" She rushed into the VIP room on the second floor and shouted.

"Miss Xu, what's your business?" Meng Si and Li Jiarong all walked out from behind the screen, followed by Li Xiudian and Meng Zhong. All four of them frowned and showed displeasure, but due to Xu Ling's identity, they did not dare to attack on the spot. Admiral Xu has been guarding Zhejiang Province for many years, killing countless Japanese pirates. The booklets that record his military achievements are piled up to a high place. It can be said that he is a veritable local emperor in Zhejiang Province. So what if Li Ran is the real brother of Concubine Min? When he comes to Zhejiang Province, he still has to be a small man.

"What's the matter with me? You embroidered the rag yourself, you can take a look!" Xu Ling threw the peony skirt worth a thousand gold to the ground and said angrily: "Your skirt made me make a fool of myself yesterday. What a great embroiderer in Zhejiang Province, you have such a big face!"

"Is there something wrong with this skirt?" Meng Si picked up the skirt and looked worried.

Li Xiudian looked at her with distress and rebuked: "Miss Xu, please say something. Everyone can see how Meng Si's skills are. If there is really a problem with this skirt, you can point it out. We can improve it, don't hurt the harmony."

"This skirt is so good, what's the problem!" Li Jiarong snatched the skirt over and looked at it repeatedly, pointing at Xu Ling's nose and cursing: "Xu Ling, are you here to find fault on purpose? Sisi is my good sister, try to bully her! I, Li Jiarong, aren't afraid of you!"

Xu Ling pinched Li Jiarong's finger and pushed her down hard, and her tone was sinister: "How can you do it? Can you beat me? You are not afraid of me, will I be afraid of you? Meng Si's skills are not as good as those who have just learned embroidery for a while. The skirt he made is so jealous that it is vulgar. What kind of face does he call himself the number one embroiderer in Zhejiang Province? I think the name of this first embroiderer is yourselves! "

"She can't compare to who she is, please make it clear!" Li Jiarong pulled her finger back and grinned in pain.

"She is completely unable to compare with Lin Dan. Last time she was in Faxing Temple, she was embarrassed to say that Lin Dan's embroidery skills were just err, and even the apprentices of Meng's embroidery shop could make Lin Dan's wisteria-flowered skirt?" Xu Ling was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"You mean, Lin Dan made a wisteria dress, which looks better than my sister's one, and I asked Miss Xu to be compared?" Meng Zhong seemed to understand Xu Ling's purpose and spoke gently and politely.

"That's right, you let me make a big ugly at the family dinner, I will never end up with you!" Xu Ling snatched the peony skirt and stepped hard, then brushed the embroidery frames standing next to it to the ground, and her behavior was very domineering.

Meng Si's face turned pale and shrank slightly. Li Xiudian hurriedly protected her beside her and glared at Xu Ling. Meng Zhong pulled Li Jiarong behind him and said, "Dare you ask what Lin Dan's skirt is, how can I compare the skirt carefully made by my sister? You know, in order to embroider this skirt, my sister used hundreds of pearls, gems and jade, and used the Guangdong embroidery technique, which added many newly developed embroidery threads. Whether it is workmanship or materials, it is definitely first-class."

While speaking, he picked up the skirt, patted it gently, and spread it flat on the embroidery rack.

Customers who were attracted by the noise stretched their necks to look at them, and were amazed. This skirt is really elegant and luxurious, and extremely dazzling. If she could wear it and walk around, she would wake up laughing in her dreams, but Xu Ling was still not satisfied. So what kind of skirt she wanted to wear? Is the fairy's feathered clothes?

Xu Ling couldn't find the words to describe the beauty of the wisteria flower skirt, and she couldn't refute it for a long time. Just when she was secretly anxious, her wet nurse pulled her sleeve and reminded: "Miss, Miss Six is ​​below, let them see it for themselves."

Xu Ling stood on tiptoe and saw Xu Qian and Lao Jiu walking by the street holding hands. She hurriedly pulled Meng Si to the window and sneered: "You can see it yourself! See if I wronged you! I am not as skilled as others, and I am unwilling to admit that I will never come to your store to make clothes again!"

Meng Si and Li Jiarong lowered their heads and looked at them, and they were all stunned. The customers who came to join in the fun also squeezed to the window, and then all showed a stunning look.

Xu Qian is already beautiful and unparalleled, with a charming temperament, and her temperament is extremely gentle and quiet. She is set off by the colorful and gorgeous wisteria dress, which looks more fresh and refined, but it adds some agility and playfulness. Passersby passing by her either stop and watch or look back, with obsessive expressions on her face.

Xu Qian didn't expect this skirt to have such an effect. Her cheeks were so embarrassed that she turned red and her steps were getting faster and faster. The skirt covered with petals flew under her feet, as if she was about to soar into the air. She looked like a fairy who fell into the mortal world, looking so panicked, pitiful and cute.

Everyone on the second floor was stunned and waited until Xu Qian disappeared into the corner before she burst into a burst of surprises.

"The wisteria flowers on her skirt are real wisteria flowers? I seem to see the petals blown by the wind and swaying gently!"

"It's true, I saw it too! It's covered with so many wisteria flowers, but it doesn't look bloated at all, but it makes the figure lighter and more elegant. It's true that only the fairy skirt and feathered clothes can have this effect!"

"What are your eyes? Those flowers cannot be real, otherwise they would have withered a long time ago. I looked real. They were cut into petal shapes with tulle, dyed, embroidered stamens, and then sewn them one by one!"

"What did this embroiderer think about it and how skill is so ingenious!"

While everyone was amazed, they inquired about Lin Dan's situation, and then looked at the peony skirt placed on the embroidery rack, and they all showed a look of disgust. Although the jewel-like skirt and feathered skirt were dazzling, they were not enough to look at each other compared to the fairy skirt and feathered clothes. If they could be a fairy daughter, who would still be willing to be a mortal?

Thinking of this, the ladies who had planned to customize a few clothes at the Meng Family Embroidery House, the ladies all asked for the deposit to inquire about the address of Lin Family Embroidery House. Xu Ling glared at Meng Si fiercely, then overturned the embroidery frame where the peony skirt was placed, and then left.

Meng Si still looked out the window with a little pause. Li Xiudian gently stroked her tense spine and comforted her silently.

Li Jiarong took back her heart and said insincerely: "Si Si, that wisteria flower skirt is made of rag heads, and there is no embroidery at all, and it is incomparable to you. Lin Dan can only play with these strange and lustful skills. When her skills are exhausted, people will be interested in it. Don't take her too seriously!"

If it weren't for her lover Meng Zhong, she would probably have been in a hurry to inquire about the skirt now.

Meng Si smiled reluctantly: "I have never seen Lin Dan's embroidery worker yet, so I really don't have a good review. A clever mind is also a kind of talent. She still has some real skills."

Meng Zhong said disapprovingly: "How long has she been learning embroidery? How long has she been studying? If she doesn't put her mind on these sidelines, how can she stand out? The Lin family is defeated by me. If she makes a name for herself, I will not let her go."

"Why not to be embarrassed? Our family has already cleared up. Brother, please let Lin Dan go." Meng Si shook his head, his eyes full of pity.

Seeing her like this, Meng Zhong stopped talking, but his eyes were a little vicious. Li Xiudian loved Meng Si more and more, and couldn't help but rub her head.

Three days later, the threshold of Lin's mansion was almost broken by the guests who came here. However, in order to embroider the wisteria flower skirt, Lin Dan had exhausted all the power of the prehistoric order and did not want to take on the second order in a short period of time. The fingers of the two aunts and Cui Lan were swollen by scissors and needlework, and they have not recovered yet. Fortunately, Xu Qian sent someone to send 50 taels of reward, which relieved her pain when she watched the silver flow away.

The guest who was rejected by her was a big fuss at first and refused to give in. Later, Du Ruyan arrived and explained in detail how Lin Dan embroidered the wisteria flower skirt. He also said: It takes a lot of time and energy to make such a fairy skirt. It is good to be able to take orders in a month. If you are eager to ask for it, you will not be able to achieve that effect at all. The more exquisite the skirt is, the more you need to design and tailor it according to the appearance and temperament of the guest. The finished product will definitely be unique in the world and will never be the same as others. If you are eager to ask for it, then go to another house. If you are not eager to ask for it, then wait in line.

Du Ruyan explained this and doubled the price by two or three times. Instead, the customers stopped quarreling and left silently if they could afford it. Those who could afford it lined up to pay the deposit. Although the number of people was not large, they only booked three, but Lin Dan asked him to get a deposit of 75 taels of silver in one breath and pay a final payment of 50 taels after the transaction was completed.

"It cost seventy-five taels of money for a skirt. Do you think they are stupid?" Lin Dan looked at Du Ruyan in confusion.

Du Ruyan smiled and lay on the table, shook her head and said, "Dandan, you are stupid! Do you know how much it would cost if you took the wisteria flower skirt you made before to the capital?"

“How much can it be sold?”

"The price starts at least 100 taels. The wealthy families in the capital have more than this number of meals. In order to eat a secret duck tongue, they can slaughter dozens of ducks at the same time, leaving only their tongues, and giving the rest of the meat to the servants. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is spending money like flowing water." Du Ruyan showed a look of reminiscence, but she did not feel envious. In fact, simple food is also good.

"Sooner or later, I have to drive the embroidery shop to the capital." Lin Dan unconsciously rubbed her hands.

Du Ruyan covered her mouth and smiled again, feeling happy.

Lin Dan swept his hand and put two silver ingots into Du Ruyan's arms, and said boldly: "You took the guest and the price was set by you. In the future, I will give you a commission of five taels of silver for every extra order. But you have to continue to do this like today, help me deal with their inquiries and bargaining."

Lin Dan doesn't like socializing with others. If Du Ruyan can help her, that would be great.

Du Ruyan hugged the silver ingot and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll help you, let's open an embroidery shop together. But I told you in advance that you can't take orders at will without my permission in the future. It's best to take orders every one or two months, so that your skirt will look expensive and the price will be higher and higher. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lin Dan stretched out her left hand.

Du Ruyan looked at her stupidly with an inexplicable expression.

Lin Dan seemed helpless, pulled her hand over, patted her gently, and said seriously: "We are swearing to high-fives, we will be partners in the future."

Du Ruyan giggled and forced Lin Dan to slap him again.
