Today’s Faxing Temple is full of believers, crowded, and very lively. The outside Buddhist hall is crowded with flat-headed people who come to offer incense. The Daxiong Hall and the back garden inside are places for nobles to rest. Many young talents and famous ladies are gathering there. Talking about poetry and painting under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree.

In order to stand out from the crowd, talented scholars talk and show their abilities to the best of their ability; ladies are all dressed up and graceful. Although they were sitting on the two ends of the east and west, their eyes collided from time to time, or they bowed their heads shyly, or smiled happily, their every move was implicitly affectionate.

Among the talented ladies and ladies, Li Ran's prostitutes and prostitutes are naturally the most outstanding, and they are also the focus of everyone's attention. As the governor of a place and the brother of the imperial concubine Min, Li Ran's career is by no means confined to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Maybe in a few years, when the nine princes grow up, he will be transferred to the capital as an official by the emperor, and his success is just around the corner.

With such a strong background, Li Jiarong and Li Xiudian are naturally the objects of compliment.

Right now, Li Jiarong was sitting under the ginkgo tree drinking tea without mouthful, and her wonderful eyes glanced at Tan Xing Zhengnong's young talent from time to time. She is beautiful, graceful in figure, and naturally popular. Ten of the best talents can't help aiming at her, and then look away pretendingly.

Another man was caught peeking at him, Li Jiarong covered her lips with her hand and smiled complacently.

"Sister Li, this dress on you is so beautiful, I am crazy! These hibiscus flowers are elegant and enchanting. Each one has a unique charm and suitable shades. It is simply amazing! If you change to an ordinary-looking woman Wearing this dress, you will be pressed down by these delicate hibiscus flowers, but you are different. Your appearance is too rich, and the beautiful flowers will become your foil." An aristocratic woman praised sincerely.

The few people nearby quickly agreed, boasting Li Jiarong that there is nothing in the sky.

Li Jiarong smiled and held Meng Si's hand, and said: "Don't praise me, this dress was embroidered by Sisi himself. If I have a seven-point color, then five points must come from this pair of Sisi. Skillful."

Meng Si, who was sitting next to her, smiled shyly and tenderly, not much.

In order to please Li Jiarong, the ladies also praised Meng Si, saying that they would never go to other embroidery villages to buy fabrics in the future, and only go to the Meng family.

I don’t know who intervened: "Hey, do you think Du Ruyan will come today?"

Li Jiarong smiled slightly and looked at the person speaking coldly. Another person quickly remedied: "How could she come? Does she dare to come? I have heard that she has been looking for precious fabrics and embroideries in the city these days, but her life experience is a little better. A little Xiu Niang who wants to cut her clothes? At this point, she still doesn't want to recognize the reality, which is sad."

"Yes, no matter how much money she has in her hand, she can't buy the silk satin we wear. It's ugly to come, so why bother. I guess she is hiding at home and wiping her tears!" After falling, everyone covered their mouths and laughed lightly, with a gloating look in their eyes.

Li Jiarong's face was soothed, pretending to be graceful and generous: "She has fallen so hard, so you should leave some morals, don't laugh at her again."

Back then, Du Ruyan was the number one lady in Beijing, and she crushed Li Jiarong to death. Li Jiarong is narrow-minded and jealous. While cursing Du Ruyan, she secretly swears in her heart: Whenever she gains power, she will step on the other party's feet and crush them into ashes! Now that her wish comes true, she is naturally happy, but she still has to show her generosity in front of many talented people.

Hearing what she said, the ladies nodded and said yes, and then pretended to sympathize with Du Ruyan.

All the ladies were chatting energetically, but the young talents turned their heads and looked at the entrance of the garden one by one, first with wonder, and then with deep obsession. saw a woman walking slowly in, wearing a long skirt wrapped around her chest. The fabric of the whole skirt was pressed with a hot copper kettle to make vertical creases, and they were gathered in one place with a tender yellow ribbon. The placket interspersed in a bow-knot shape is tied to the girl's slender neck. Every time she took a step, the hem of her skirt surged into layers, like petals blooming under her feet.

She didn't wear a belt, the snow-white tulle fabric naturally fell down along her graceful body curve, but it was more graceful and graceful than wearing a belt. This Mailang-like wavy gauze skirt is unique enough, but what is more beautiful is the blouse she wears outside.

The blouse is made of transparent cicada wing yarn, which is not as smooth as the silk fabric, but it is more elegant and tall. don’t know who embroidered the cicada wing yarn with gold and silver threads and embroidered ginkgo leaves in a patchwork pattern. , Little by little, from the rounded shoulders to the fluttering hem, the ginkgo leaves are more and more densely embroidered until they become a bright golden color. The young girl stepped across the golden leaves, and the end of the blouse lightly covered the leaves. The two merged together, as if they were natural.

The girl stood there, like an elf born from fallen leaves, immaculately beautiful and beautiful.

The girl walked slowly, and a gust of autumn wind lifted the hem of her skirt and opened her blouse, making everyone look straight. The pleated skirt is not one layer, but five or six layers of pure white tulle overlap. When you walk around, you can't see the peculiarities, but when the wind blows, it gently blows the five or six layers of tulle into one. When the white lotus blossoms in full bloom, the beautiful and ethereal scene can only be described as dazzling. The blouse was moved by the wind and fluttered lightly, and the ginkgo leaves embroidered on it also swayed and danced, as if countless leaves were lingering around the girl, being swept by the wind, being pulled by the wind, just reluctant to leave her. .

Standing under the tree, the girl was covered with golden leaves, just like a goddess transformed from this thousand-year-old tree, like a dream and fantasy.

She walked to the corner with the least crowd, opened her blouse gently, and sat down gracefully, with an indescribable charm in her every move. When she turned her head completely and revealed that beautiful face, all the talents had completely lost the ability to think.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful clothes, and beautiful people are already extremely rare visual enjoyments. What's even better is that the beauty of these three is still so integrated in one place, making it difficult to distinguish whether the beautiful scenery turns into a beauty or The beauty sets off the beauty.

This still lively and extraordinary poetry party became silent because of the girl's arrival. Many men even held their breath, lest they make a sound to disturb the goddess.

"It's Du Ruyan." A noble goddess said in a daze.

"Her skirt full of creases is so beautiful, and the blouse embroidered with ginkgo leaves is so beautiful!" Another distinguished lady couldn't help but tell the truth.

Li Jiarong no longer cares about her manners, her beautiful face is slightly distorted, full of jealousy. She put down the tea cup with a bang, and was about to get up to look for provocations, but Meng Si held her shoulders and stopped her.

"That blouse is better than ingenuity, it's not very surprising." Meng Si said slowly and logically: "You can find that the ginkgo leaves are all embroidered with simple flat needles. Meng's Embroidery Shop can find one. The apprentice embroiderer can also make exactly the same clothes. Even if you give such a cheap thing to you, you will not wear it, so why bother."

"Yes, but just a few leaves, who knows how to embroider? Du Ruyan can't buy silk and satin, and he can't get a top embroiderer, so he can only do so." The lady sitting on the side quickly persuaded.

Li Jiarong took a few breaths secretly, only then did she show her true face in front of everyone. She is not like Du Ruyan, arrogant and domineering, with a bad reputation. She is a first-class lady in Lin'an Mansion. Who doesn't know her gentle temperament?

"Ms. Meng is worthy of being an expert, and she can tell at a glance. But just a few leaves, who is rare? Maybe I embroiders better than hers." Several distinguished ladies tried to persuade Li Jiarong to convince her. Coax happy.

But not all ladies wanted to cling to Li's family, and some people ignored Li Jiarong's cold eyes and walked up to Du Ruyan to get close. They babbled a few words and then asked her the origin of the pleated skirt and blouse.

Du Ruyan came to amaze the audience this time, and also to make Lin Dan famous, and said without reservation: "My dresses are all made by Lin Danlin Xiu Niang, the largest embroidery village in Lin'an Prefecture before Lin's embroidery. Do you know that Zhuang? Lin Dan is now the head of Lin's Embroidery Village, with outstanding embroidery skills!"

"The Lin's Embroidery Village you mentioned was the one that was run down by Meng's?" Someone twisted his eyebrows.

"Yes."

"So that's the case." After hearing this, the enthusiastic ladies walked away in twos and threes. Although they don't like to favor Li Jiarong, they are also influenced by Meng Si's words and think that the embroiderer of this smock is nothing more than that. As soon as they heard that the embroiderer came from Lin's Embroidery Village, which had long since collapsed, they would never invite people in.

The noble ladies of other people's families are all the top local embroiderers, and even the imperial embroiderers, but they invite a shabby household to come here. Isn't it shameful? Forget it, got a closer look, the embroiderer of this smock is just mediocre, but it's just ingenuity, it's still not fooled!

When everyone was almost gone, a beautiful woman sat next to Du Ruyan and smiled, "Are you embroidered with these earrings?"

Du Ruyan stroked his earlobe and nodded: "Yes, it was embroidered. First embroider a double-sided ginkgo leaf on the fabric, then nail three pearls on the top of the leaf, then cut it out, put on a hook, and make Into earrings. Both these earrings and these shoes are a set."

In order to promote Lin Dan, Du Ruyan also spared no effort, and even cocked his legs, revealing a pair of small jade feet for the woman to see. saw that the embroidered shoes on her feet were also embroidered with ginkgo leaves with gold and silver threads, and each leaf was nailed with finely divided rice pearls, which was very delicate and lovely.

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw this scene. She is not the idiot of those people. She believes whatever Meng Si says. The blouse on Du Ruyan doesn't look simple, but the embroidery is by no means simple. The color of each leaf is different, the shades of golden color are very naturally blended together, and the veins of the leaves are embroidered with extremely thin gray and dark yellow silk threads. It can be described as different in shape and lifelike.

The woman dared to bet that she could cut the silk thread so finely, not to mention that Meng Si couldn't do it, even if she kneaded all the queen embroiders in the palace, she couldn't do it. The silk thread is thinner and the color is more. How simple can the embroidered pattern be? The so-called minimalism is the most beautiful, and the most simple is the most complex. Only in the ordinary can you see real kung fu. It is ridiculous that a top embroiderer like Meng Si does not understand this truth at all.
