Du Ruyan waited for her elder brother to show her diligence before walking over with a smile and teased: "Brother, where is my gift? Why do you only give it to me, not me? You are partial!"

"What do you want? I'll give you ten taels of silver and buy it yourself." Du Rusong took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to his sister at will.

Du Ruyan hurriedly caught it and complained, "Brother, look at our embroidery shop, is it empty? Look at the next door, the silk and satin on the shelves are full of! Dandan and I wanted to buy cloth with cloth merchants. After Meng Zhong's instructions, they refused to sell us precious fabrics. The fabrics placed on our shelves were light dowry, and after selling her dowry, she would be gone. How would she get married in the future? Think about a way to find some source of goods for us, otherwise, our business would not be able to do it."

Fortunately, Lin Dan only takes on the ready-to-wear business. The ladies who come to the door usually bring the fabrics themselves and ask them to embroider. Although this is convenient, it is not as profitable as selling cloth in his own store and making clothes in his own store. Meng's embroidery shop is a one-stop service, and you can make money with big and small money, and you can get it all in one go.

Du Rusong twisted his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay, I'll find a way." Finally, he added cautiously: "I will never let Miss Lin not get married."

Lin Dan carefully put away the folding fan and waved his hand, "This is not urgent. Finding a source of goods can certainly solve our temporary troubles, but it is subject to others. If we can learn to weave ourselves, or hire some female workers who are good at weaving, we can ensure the long-term supply of fabrics and greatly reduce the cost of transportation and second-hand sales."

Du Rusong chuckled and said confidently: "Miss Lin, wait, I will help you find some female workers who are good at weaving soon." He found that Lin Dan always likes to solve problems from the root. Her sister only wants him to find a source of goods, but Lin Dan is already thinking about how to master weaving technology. She is always independent, and instead of relying on others, she is more willing to enrich herself.

"Thank you, Mr. Du." Lin Dan replied: "I will make you a few sets of winter clothes to protect the cold ones. By the way, if your leather armor is broken, I will send it over and I will repair it for you."

"Okay, I'll change my defense later, so I'll take a step first. If you have something to do, go to the Navy Camp in the south to find me. I'm already a hundred households." For some reason, Du Rusong wanted Lin Dan to know his achievements.

"Are you already a hundred households? Mr. Du is so powerful!" Lin Dan praised sincerely.

Du Rusong, who was exhausted, became energetic in an instant. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and was afraid that he would smile too silly, so he could only use his fist to press his lips to cough gently, and then leave gracefully.

Looking at the back of the elder brother Zhuo Erbuqun, Du Ruyan slowly covered his stomach and laughed so hard that he almost couldn't straighten his waist. He thought of not having hundreds or dozens of women who were entangled with the elder brother back then, but he looked down on none of them. He spoke coldly and poisonously, and he didn't know how many women's hearts were hurt. However, at the moment, he clearly wanted to please Lin Dan, but he didn't know where to start. His clumsy appearance made Du Ruyan look at him. This was probably the tofu in the brine, which was something that was inferior to the other?

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Dan looked at her for no reason.

"Nothing, nothing, the customer is here, I'll go to entertain the guests." Du Ruyan found an excuse and slipped away.

At the same time, Meng Si was standing by the window and staring at Danyan Xiuzhuang, with a little anxious expression.

Meng Zhong sneered: "After setting off five strings of firecrackers, none of the guests came to the door. It's so deserted. I have already told the cloth merchants in Lin'an Mansion not to do business with the Lin family. There is no cloth to sell, so I see how they can open the embroidery shop."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xu and a few sisters-in-law from the Admiral's Mansion walked happily into the Danyan Embroidery House with a group of girls. After a while, two servants from the Xu family came out and took out a lot of cloth from the carriage one after another, including soft smoke, green cicada wings, cloud mist gauze, etc., which are all expensive varieties that are difficult to buy on the market.

The sneer on Meng Zhong's face instantly frozen. Before he could come back to his senses, the wife and daughter of the governor Zhou, and the wife and daughter of the inspector Fang, arrived one after another. The Danyan Embroidery House, which was originally deserted, is now full of carriages, and each one is more expensive than the other.

Only then did the pedestrians notice this store. When they pointed at it, they all showed expressions of surprise or envy. How big does it take to attract so many noble people? This store is not simple!

The owners of several cloth shops next to them were also standing at the door to watch. They all received the instructions of Meng's embroidery shop and did not dare to sell the fabric to Danyan embroidery shop. But what is the situation now? Except for the governor's family, all the nobles of Lin'an Mansion seem to come to celebrate this new store. Why do they have to go against Lin Dan? If they indirectly offend any noble person, Meng's embroidery shop can protect themselves, can they? If they make less money, they still have to bear such a great risk. Meng Zhong treats them like fools!

At that time, Lin Dafu, as the number one royal merchant in Zhejiang Province, adhered to the principle of "everyone makes money, and if you have trouble, you will bear it." But unlike now, everyone has to listen to Meng Zhong. The Meng family is too domineering and domineering! Thinking of this, several cloth shop owners glared at Meng's embroidery shop and then entered the door. In the future, Lin Dan came to purchase goods again, and they just kept selling, who cares about whether the Meng family was happy!

Meng Zhong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Qian, hang out the picture of the horse that Sisi embroidered a few days ago, and hang it at the door, so that everyone can come and take a look."

"Okay boss." Manager Qian immediately withdrew.

Meng Si frowned and said, "Brother, didn't you say that the horse picture is going to be given to Lord Li? Why is it hanging again now?"

"It's better for everyone to see clearly when hanging it out. When it comes to embroidery skills, Lin Dan is not qualified to compare with you. Is it called embroidery skills that are superb? It's ridiculous!"

Meng Si's frown slowly loosened and stopped talking. In recent days, she has been sarcastic and has been questioned by many questions. She came to her for embroidery products, and there were fewer people who came to ask for embroidery clothes. Even Li Jiarong hasn't been here for a long time. I heard that Li Jiarong sent her maid to Lin's embroidery shop to customize clothes. She went there a few times, but she was turned away every time and was now locked up at home and sulked.

But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't do anything to Lin Dan. Because Lin Dan was holding orders from local wealthy families such as the Admiral's Office, the Administrator's Office, the Administrator's Office, the Administrator's Office, the Learning Government, and other local wealthy families. If she forced herself to make trouble, she would be unable to get along with these women. Not to mention that she could not get benefits, she would cause a lot of trouble for Lord Li.

Even Li Jiarong has to endure Lin Dan, let alone Meng Si?

"Brother, what should I do if someone bids to buy my horse picture?" she said after thinking for a moment.

"When this picture is hung out, there will inevitably be someone bidding. Whoever offers the highest price will sell it to whom. We will hold an auction at the gate to kill Lin Dan's spirit. Can you sell a painting of embroidery for thousands of taels of silver? Can she? If you want to compete with you, she will not urinate and look at her." Meng Zhong smiled contemptuously.

Meng Si covered her ears and said angrily: "Brother, you should be careful when you speak, be careful to stain my ears."

Meng Zhong then laughed, rubbed his sister's head, then walked out and arrived at the door of the store. Manager Qian had already hung a huge embroidered painting ten feet long on the door, and was carefully wiping the border with fine silk cloth.

Passers-by immediately stopped and watched, and was amazed. Someone who knew how to do things exclaimed: "My good dear, this is a masterpiece of the painting of Jingchuan in the Liang Dynasty. It is called "The Horse Picture". It was engraved by him on the cliff of Mount Tai. I don't know how many people risked their lives to print it, but it was impossible to get it. Because the horse picture was too magnificent and huge, there was no such big paper in the world that could print it, either one or two, and occasionally someone would brush it down.

Half of the picture was sold at a sky-high price. Of course, many painters copied the whole picture with their naked eyes and memory, but they only had the shape and did not get the spirit. But if you look at this work, you can really say that they have both form and spirit, and they have made up their style and restored the original work of Jing Huaxian almost without any fault! What's even better is that it was painted with needlework, not brush and ink. If it is preserved properly, it will not fade even after hundreds of years. It is a treasure worth collecting than a scroll!"

"People at that time said that Miss Meng's embroidery paintings were both exquisite and freehand paintings of ink were called artistic treasures. Today, I saw it well-known!"

"It's amazing to have such achievements at such a young age!"

Literary and poets gathered together, either commenting passionately or applauding sincerely, and were really lingering and intoxicated. The customers in the Danyan Embroidery House also ran out to join in the fun. Even if they couldn't understand where the embroidery painting was good, they also felt like they were admiring Meng Si's embroidery skills. Others said it was good, so it was of course excellent!

"Boss Meng, will you sell this embroidery painting? I will pay 500 taels of silver!" Someone immediately bid.

"Five hundred taels? Are you sending the beggar! I'll pay one thousand taels!"

"I'll pay one thousand five hundred taels!"

"Two thousand taels!"

"Three thousand taels!"

"Stop quarrel, I'll pay 5,000 taels!" A wealthy businessman from the capital squeezed away everyone, his tone was urgent.

Meng Zhong smiled and shook the teacup in his hand, looking like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Seeing that the price was 8,000 miles away and no one followed him for a long time, he stood up slowly and said, "Shemei didn't plan to sell this work. Since this customer liked it so much, I will advise Shemei and let her give up her love."

"Thank you, Boss Meng. I didn't have enough silver notes in my hand. Let the servant go back and get them. Please wait for a while." After the words, the wealthy businessman in the capital waved his hand and several strong men like towers squeezed out of the crowd with big swords. The gangster who had originally wanted to make these silver notes immediately extinguished his desire to die.

Seeing that all his business was disturbed by Meng Zhong, Du Ruyan jumped in anger.
