After bidding round after round, the statue of Guanyin Dashi was finally bought by the admiral’s wife for twenty thousand taels of silver. It’s not that the noble ladies and merchants present are richer than her, but her status is the most precious, and the Japanese pirates have been committing crimes over the years, and it is the navy who has been in town to keep Jiangsu and Zhejiang safe. Who would dare to offend her?

After bringing the portrait home and hung it in the Buddhist hall, a group of female family members of the Xu family gathered together, paying respects to Master Guanyin with a positive expression.

Suddenly, the door of the Buddhist hall was rudely kicked open. Admiral Xu, who was a big bull, walked in angrily, and opened his mouth to curse: "Wang, you stupid woman, I heard that you spent twenty thousand taels of silver for a picture. Embroidery? I make this family business by pinning my head on my waistband all day long. You can spend twenty thousand taels with a damn wave of your hand! Where is the embroidery, I will return it quickly, otherwise I will let you right away. Fuck off!"

"Who are you?" Before Mrs. Xu could react, Mrs. Xu couldn't sit still. She slapped the table and stood up and said angrily: "If you dare to make this embroidery idea, I will never finish with you! "

Admiral Xu's face stiffened slightly, and he was about to reassure the old lady a few words. He suddenly saw the embroidery on the wall. He sucked in a cold breath and touched his waist, almost drew his sword to defend himself. Without him, only blame the golden hair Yan for being too realistic and terrifying. When hurriedly glanced in the gloo temple, it seemed to be about to rush to eat people. When saw it again, was soothed by the kind-eyed Guanyin Master. Become calm.

"This, is this the embroidered painting?" Admiral Xu was taken aback for a while before speaking in disbelief. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this embroidered painting did not look like a painting, but more like a mirror. The mirror end was a passage to the God Realm, which inadvertently reflected the characters in mythology.

"Exactly." Mrs. Xu didn't look at him, just holding her two-and-a-half-year-old grandson, pointing to the embroidery to lure: "My dear grandson, look at it, that is Guanyin Bodhisattva. He will bless you in the future. ."

When Yuxue's lovely child saw the lifelike Golden Retriever, he burst into tears and hurried his head into Mrs. Xu's arms.

"Don't look at the monsters, look at the Bodhisattva," Mrs. Xu turned to let the little grandson continue to look at the embroidery, and pointed her finger at the face of Avalokitesvara, and said: "Look, the Bodhisattva is smiling at you."

The little boy glanced at the embroidered painting timidly, and then was fascinated by the gentle and peacefully smiling Guanyin Master. After a while, he stretched out his hand and giggled as if he wanted the Guanyin Master to hold him. The child's cognition is still in a state of ignorance, and it is completely impossible to tell that it is just an embroidery, not a real person. But this is enough to prove from the side how exquisite and amazing the workmanship of this embroidery is.

Admiral Xu looked at the reaction of his little grandson, and couldn't help but wonder, and then went to see Avalokitesvara, he went back a few steps in surprise, and walked around the Buddhist hall a few times. Only Golden Retriever has been looking at me! What's going on? The top of Guanyin Bodhisattva's head is still shining, have you seen it?" He rubbed his eyes again and again, for fear that he might have hallucinations.

When Lin Dan embroidered the Buddha's light on the back of Guanyin Dashi, he combined a dozen needles, including mixed needles, willow needles, needles, flat needles, and spreading needles, and cut the silk threads into very fine pieces and then knead them smoothly , To express the scattering and softness of Buddha light. The flat and dense embroidered surface looks like a mirror, which not only makes the golden thread more dazzling, but also reflects the light in nature.

Therefore, when others stare at Guanyin, it will give the illusion that he is really shining. Without superb embroidery skills, this would never be possible.

"We've seen it a long time ago. Don't bluff in the Buddhist hall, be careful to offend the Bodhisattva!" Old Taijun Xu was very dissatisfied with his son.

Mrs. Xu smiled lightly: "Master, I haven't paid the twenty thousand taels of silver. I didn't bring enough cash receipts at the time. I brought the embroidery back with credit. If you think this embroidery is not good, I immediately asked the butler to return it."

"Don't!" Admiral Xu waved his hand quickly: "Don't retreat! Send someone to send the bank note, so that the embroiderer will not come to ask for it." He was beaten up in the barracks, and he had experienced escape more than once. . The most dangerous time was when he fell into the sea and was swept away by the waves. He vaguely saw the light of the Buddha and heard the Sanskrit sound. Then he was carried ashore by a dolphin, put it on the beach, and was picked up by several subordinates inadvertently. , This will save a life.

After he came back, he knew that because of a premonition, his mother kneeled in the Buddhist hall and recited the scriptures for three days and three nights, praying to the Buddha to bless him to return safely. When the mother and the son sat together, they all thought it was a Bodhisattva who appeared, and the Bodhisattva was blessing their Xu family. Since then, Tidu Xu has changed from an atheist to a Buddhist believer, and the old lady believes in Bodhisattva even more. Now, Mrs. Xu has brought back such a radiant and spiritual Buddha statue. They are too late to worship it day and night, so where are they willing to go back?

"Is it true?" Madam Xu teased her husband.

"If anyone dares to move this Buddha statue, whoever can't get along with me!" Old Taijun Xu shook his crutches into the sky.

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and said, "Mother, sir, then I will send someone to send the banknotes to Danyan Embroidery Village?"

"Go, go, lest people can't get the money, and come to the door to ask for the return." Governor Xu waved his hand again and again, with an anxious expression. Others rushed to buy such a good thing. He finally bought it, but he couldn't lose it anymore.

…………

Lin Dan's name spread in Lin'an Mansion since selling the Guanyin Master. Nowadays, when you talk about the top embroiderer, the first thing everyone thinks of must be her, and then Meng Si, Yao Huiyun, Fang Wenqi and others. If you write a list of embroidered women in black and white, Lin Dan must be the first, and no one dares to compete with it.

On the day it opened, Danyan Embroidery made 21,000 taels of silver, and its profitability is simply jaw-dropping. Twenty thousand taels are from the sale of embroidered paintings, and the remaining one thousand taels are all the deposits for ladies and ladies' custom-made dresses. After all, the end of the year is almost here, and every household is rushing to cut paper and new clothes for the New Year. Du Ruyan took this opportunity to contact the cloth dealer again, and he bought a lot of expensive fabrics one after another, and solved another worry.

On the other hand, Meng's Embroidery Village did not have that easy life. The top ten clients were snatched away by Lin Dan. Every day Meng Zhong could only watch the opposite customers come like clouds, but his own embroidery shop was not easy. Fortunately, Danyan Embroidery has just opened its doors and its scale is still small, so it can’t take too much work. Meng Zhong picked up some leftovers from people’s mouths. At the end of the year, the turnover dropped by 70% to 80%. "Business is dismal" is not an exaggeration.

In the past, there was an endless stream of customers looking for custom embroidery screens and paintings from Meng Si. Now, they would rather spend months waiting for Lin Dan. With jewels in front, who is willing to go to the defective product?

Meng Si, who was degraded as a "defective product," felt very uncomfortable. She locked herself in the room and refused to come out. In the end, Meng Zhong kicked the door of the room and walked in. wake. The brothers and sisters cheered up and went to the street to buy new year goods. By the way, they were relieved. When they saw Lin Dan and Du Ruyan walking towards them, their expressions sank.

Lin Dan pretended not to see the two of them, and walked over without squinting.

Meng Sipu shouted with tears in his eyes: "Lin Dan, wait. Your father killed my family. All my brother did was to avenge his father. Since your father died, the grievances between our two families have been cleared. My elder brother didn't attack you anymore, why are you aggressive and retaliate against me? I ask myself that there is nothing I am sorry for you."

Du Ruyan raised her eyebrows and wanted to open her eyes, but Lin Dan gently pressed her shoulders.

"First, if you can avenge your father, I can also avenge my father. I can't talk about two clears." Lin Dan turned around and said word by word: "Second, I did not take revenge on you. It’s nothing more than the family business, is this also hindering you? Did I ever steal your family’s belongings like your brother did? Have you used shameful methods to destroy your reputation? Everything I have now , I earned it by strength, and my future was embroidered stitch by stitch. I didn't win the battle, nor did it harm others or benefit myself, let alone by any means. Where did your accusations come from? Is it that I am better than you, but I am wrong? Looking at the entire Lin'an city, and even the Great Zhou Kingdom, there are so many people who are better than you. Are they all wrong?"

Lin Dan turned his head and waved his hand: "If you really think so, then Ms. Meng, I advise you to go and see the doctor as soon as possible. Narcissism is a disease, I think you are very sick."

Du Ruyan was almost suffocating his laughter. Unexpectedly, Lin Dan's mouth was even more poisonous than her brother's. He turned his head and rolled his eyes at Meng Si with a very disdainful expression. What kind of people are these people? can't afford to lose if just ran over and cursed people.

Meng Si looked embarrassed and found that passersby were looking at him, and quickly hid behind his brother, wiping tears with a handkerchief secretly. She really shouldn’t have rushed to question Lin Dan on the spur of the moment. Now that I think about it, Lin Dan did not use any other means to deal with her. Instead, she has been upright and upright. It is their own strength. She lost to Lin Dan because she was inferior to others.

The more Meng Si thought about it, the more frustrated, and choked up: "Brother, let's go back, I don't want to go shopping anymore. I always think everyone is laughing at me. Jia Rong hasn't come to me for a long time, she probably thinks someone like me is unworthy Play with her. If it weren't for me, the business of Xiuzhuang would not plummet. After the new year, Zhejiang Province will select the emperor merchant again. What should you do if you lose the emperor merchant qualification? Blame me, it's me who hurt you. "

"What nonsense are you talking about." Meng Zhongyu was gentle, but there was a hint of dark prey in his eyes. "The New Year is approaching, and every family is busy preparing for the New Year's gift. Naturally, Jia Rong has no time to see you. You will send her a post next day Just ask her out. Next year’s emperor will definitely be me. Don’t worry. Lin Dan is just a little embroiderer. If I want to squeeze her to death, it’s as easy as squeezing an ant. Look at it, finish it. Years ago, I couldn’t do her business anymore. I have an embroidery book here, which Li Xiudian specifically found and gave to you. It is an antiquities from the past. You have studied and learned this. What is Lin Dan? ."

After taking a look at the embroidery handicraft handed by his brother, Meng Si's frustrated expression was immediately replaced by ecstasy.
