Du Rusong was dragged into the barracks by Du Ruyan but still came back to his senses. He never expected that on the day of the New Year's Eve, he would have achieved his wishes. The moment he saw Lin Dan appear in front of him, he thought he was dreaming.

"Why are you here?" He said in a daze, and then looked at Lin Dan intently.

"We miss you, and we are afraid that you will not be full or warm in food, so we bring you things to see you." Du Ruyan pointed to the box cages all over the floor, pointed to the soldiers sitting around the campfire drinking and eating roast duck outside the window, and said, "These things are all prepared for you. Although I am so kind, I seem to be very social, but I know nothing about the things in the military camp. I originally planned to bring you a hot meal, but I still reminded me that I bought so many things to reward the soldiers. I also asked me to borrow a few guards from the Lord Highness so that we could come in smoothly."

Du Rusong smiled and said, "Fortunately, you went to find Your Highness to clear the relationship first, otherwise you would have come in vain. The military camp is very strict and no outsiders are allowed to enter and exit at will. Your Highness also visited me a few days ago. My upsurge has been very kind to me recently, so don't worry."

"That's good. Your Highness went to our house to deliver New Year's gifts today, and said that you would go to the mountain with me to celebrate the New Year with my aunt on New Year's Day. Your Highness is a good person." Du Ruyan opened the food box and smiled and said, "Brother, come and have a meal, this was made by Dandan himself."

Du Rusong's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up his chopsticks and tasted the stew, sighing: "It's better than the imperial meal I've eaten!"

Lin Dan was cleaning up the things in the cage. Hearing this, he looked up at him, with a curved corner of his mouth.

"How is this dish made?" Du Rusong seized the opportunity to talk to her.

"It is to put the ingredients and seasonings into the clay pot one by one in order, and it tastes like this when it is stewed. I am born to cook." Lin Dan added seriously. For some reason, when she saw the ingredients, countless methods would pop up in her mind, and her hands would naturally pick up a kitchen knife or spoon, fry and stew. This sentence "I am born to cook" is really not an exaggeration.

"Miss Lin is so smart that she can do anything." Du Rusong smiled softerly, and he didn't notice that he had a blind liking and trust in Lin Dan, as if everything she said was right and everything she did was good.

Lin Dan's mouth curled up and showed a rare, cute smile.

Du Rusong was stunned and waited until his sister pretended to cough and lowered her head. She took a few sips of the soup in a hurry, her ears were red, as if they were about to drip blood.

Lin Dan was still sorting out his things and did not notice his abnormality.

Du Ruyan took out a few sets of clothes and a few quilts and said, "Brother, these clothes are made for you. They look very thin, but they are actually very warm. The lining is made of silk cotton pockets. When washing, you remember to remove the lining and don't dip it in water. If you dip it in water, it will deform and cannot be kept warm. These quilts are also made in light. You can leave two covers yourself and take the rest to your peak. I didn't expect to give you something to the peak. I reminded me and brought it to me. Are you very capable? "

Du Rusong nodded without thinking, "Miss Lin is the most capable girl I have ever met."

Even though Lin Dan is not very indifferent, he is now praised by the brother and sister to be a little fluttering.

Seeing her cute look with her eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of her lips raised, Du Rusong lowered her head and smiled silently, her heart full of indescribable tenderness. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "I'll try on the clothes first. If there is something wrong with it, Miss Lin can help me change it."

"Okay, I've brought the tools." Lin Dan patted the purse around her waist. As a qualified embroiderer, she always keeps her needlework.

Du Rusong took the clothes to the screen and tried them on. It was obviously very fit, but after walking out, he asked Lin Dan to help him grow bigger, "It will be easier to move when it is bigger." He said.

Lin Dan immediately took out the small scissors and cut off the threads on her waist, shoulders, armpits, arms, etc. When making clothes, she left room for enlargement in advance, and just removed a few of the creases, without making too many changes.

Du Rusong raised his hands high and turned his body to let Lin Dan circle around him. When he looked at her with his eyes down, his eyes could not be expressed in depth. Her movements were very careful, and even the tiny thread would be picked out and pulled off with a needle. He would sew the slightly too large area again. Looking at her serious and focused expression, Du Rusong felt satisfied and calm inside.

Du Ruyan winked at his brother and said silently: "Is my family very virtuous?"

Du Rusong smiled with a pursed lips, holding a lot of gentleness.

After the clothes were changed, Du Rusong sent the two out of the military camp. The sky became darker and darker, and it would be unsafe if he didn't leave. When he returned to the camp, soldiers who had received his favor came over to thank him. There were several more households, and thousands of households tried to get close to him. The military officer who had been sad about him turned around and left when he saw him, his face full of horror.

This is the effect of the visit of the eldest prince, and it is also the deterrent force of power. Without identity, status, power, people will be like ants when they live. Du Rusong has never realized this so deeply, but after returning to the barracks, he saw the steaming stew on the table, and his cold and hard heart instantly collapsed into a corner. In this world, there are always some people who approach you and warm you, not for your power, identity and status, but just because they want to do that.

He ate the stew in a few bites, took a shower, changed into a new clothes that seemed thin but actually kept warm, lay on the bed, covered the fluffy and soft silk quilt, and breathed a sigh of relief. His stomach was warm, his body was warm, and even his heart was warm. Next year, the year after, and until the end of the rest of his life, he wanted to have such a warm night and such a warm person.

With a large amount of investment, the Lin family had a very lively New Year. After the Lantern Festival, Du Ruyan also came down from the mountain, and Danyan Embroidery House started to open. However, half a month later, the business in the store plummeted, and few people came to book embroidery clothes and fabrics again. The luxurious carriages that originally frequently visited Danyan Embroidery House are now parked at the Meng Embroidery House opposite.

"Dandan, Meng Zhong got a batch of new Shu brocades from somewhere, which can shine under the sun, as colorful as neon, and the light is flowing, and it looks very beautiful. Although there is only one type of red, it sells very well. The ladies and ladies of Lin'an Mansion are buying them." Du Ruyan said worriedly: "I heard that Meng Zhong is still urging his Weaver Girl to research other colors as soon as possible. After he makes it, how can our embroidery shop do business? That kind of fabric is sold for 200 taels of silver, and it is a high-end route, which completely coincides with our route. If we don't have better fabrics, it will be difficult to compete with him. Although the embroidery clothes you make are beautiful, they are too slow, and their fabrics do not need to be embroidered, and they can directly make beautiful clothes when they buy them. Over time, everyone will visit Meng's embroidery shop, and we will definitely lose many customers here."

Lin Dan bit off a thread, raised his head and asked, "Is the new Shu brocade you mentioned the kind of fabric called Phoenix Fire?"

"Yes, that's right. I heard that Meng Zhongnian dug up a group of weaving girls from Shuzhou before. After several months of research, he weaves this kind of Shu brocade. He doesn't sell the other cloth merchants if they want to buy it. There is no similar fabric in Shuzhou, and it is exclusively produced by him. With this kind of Shu brocade, he can control the supply channels of fabrics, so as to hold the other cloth merchants hostage, and then sell his own Shu brocade into the palace, and gain the qualification of the royal merchant for many years. If this continues, sooner or later he will monopolize the weaving market in Zhejiang Province and become a local dominant." Du Ruyan said in a deep voice: "Our embroidery shop can survive for up to two years in this case."

Embroidery is a technical job, and it is difficult to achieve large-scale development due to manual labor. But textiles are different. As long as the loom is activated, it will continuously produce fabrics and then earn a large amount of money. If anyone invents a brand new and precious fabric, they can instantly earn gold and silver. With gold and silver, how many embroiderers can't invite them? How many cloth shops keep?

While Danyan Embroidery Manor was still developing slowly, Meng's embroidery Manor had already made great strides forward. When it was large enough, it could turn around and trample on Danyan Embroidery Manor to death. Du Ruyan became more and more anxious as she thought about it, and her head was a little painful.

Lin Dan was not at all panicked. When she walked to the window and looked down, she happened to find that Li Jiarong was walking out of the Meng family embroidery shop. She was wearing a red skirt as red as flames. The flying skirt was shining by the spring sunshine, and it emitted starry light, which was very dazzling, but extremely soft and bright.

"That's the Phoenix Fire? It's like a phoenix as if it's as fire!" Lin Dan exclaimed without hesitation.

"Yes, if you hadn't had a grudge with Meng Si, I would have wanted to buy one!" Du Ruyan looked depressed. She had to admit that as long as she was a woman, she could not resist the temptation of this kind of fabric. It was so beautiful!

Li Jiarong seemed to feel something, raised her head and met the two of them with a straight look, and a proud and conceited smile immediately appeared on her face. She pulled Meng Si's sleeve and pointed to the window opposite. Meng Si then realized that Lin Dan and Du Ruyan had no expression on her face, as if their hearts were as calm as water, but a glimmer of pleasure flashed in her eyes. When she studied the embroidery thoroughly, Lin Dan could no longer be the inner demon that trapped her footsteps.

"Hmph, what's so proud of! I don't believe that there is no better fabric in Shuzhou. I'll let Sun Bo go to Shuzhou to find the source of goods." Du Ruyan snorted coldly.

Lin Dan stared at Li Jiarong's clothes for a long time, her eyes full of thought. After finishing work, the two went home together, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the road while walking. The sky was gradually getting darker, the setting sun sank into the valley, and the afterglow spreads over the sky, dyeing the layers of clouds into magnificent golden red.

Du Ruyan sighed, "Look at it, if the clouds in the sky can be taken into the fabric and made into clouds, what is the phoenix fire? The most beautiful thing in the world is probably the moon, besides the sun, right?"

Lin Dan's eyes lit up, and then she chuckled softly: "Yunxia cloth, Yuehui cloth, the Weaver Girl can't weave it, but I can use my embroidery needle to embroider it, which will definitely be better than Phoenix Fire."
