Du Rusong couldn't recover after being dragged into the barracks by Du Ruyan. He didn't expect that on this day of the New Year's Eve, he would be able to accomplish what he wanted. 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, then looked at Lin Dan intently.

"We miss you. I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat or wear warmth, so I brought something to see you." Du Ruyan pointed to the cages all over the floor, and pointed to the people sitting around the bonfire outside the window drinking and eating roast duck. The soldier said, "These things are prepared for you. Don't look at my good feelings. I seem to be very communicative, but I don't know anything about things in the barracks. I only planned to bring you a warm meal. I still reminded me slightly. I just bought so many things to reward those soldiers. I also asked me to borrow a few guards from His Highness so that we can come in smoothly."

Du Rusong said with a low smile: "Fortunately, you first went to your Highness to clear up the relationship, otherwise you would come here in vain. The barracks are heavily guarded and outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave casually. Your Highness also visited me a few days ago, my Shangfeng I have been very kind to me recently, so don't worry."

"That's good. His Royal Highness went to our house to give a New Year gift today, and he said that on New Year's Eve, I would go to the mountain with my aunt to spend the New Year. His Royal Highness is a good person." Du Ruyan opened the food box and laughed: "Brother, come and eat. This was made by Faint himself."

Du Rusong's eyes lit up, and he immediately took a bite of the stew with his chopsticks, and sighed, "It's better than the imperial meal I've had!"

Lin Dan was clearing the contents of the cage. He glanced up at him when he heard the words, with a crooked mouth.

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

"Just put the ingredients and condiments one by one in a crock pot and stew in order, and the taste will be the same when the stew is cooked. I am born to cook." Lin Dan added seriously. I don't know why, as soon as she sees the ingredients, countless ways will pop up in her mind, and her hands will naturally pick up a kitchen knife or a spoon to fry and stew. The phrase "being born to cook" is really not an exaggeration.

"Miss Lin is so smart, she knows everything." Du Rusong smiled softer and softer, without even noticing that she had a blind love and trust in Lin Dan, as if she said everything was right and everything was good. .

The corner of Lin Dan's mouth curled up, revealing a rare and lovely smile.

Du Rusong was dumbfounded, waiting for his sister to pretend to be coughing and then lowered his head. He drank a few sips of soup hastily, his ears were red, and he seemed to be dripping blood.

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

Du Ruyan took out a few sets of clothes and some quilts and said, "Brother, these clothes are made for you lightly. They look very thin, but they are actually very warm. They are lined with silk cotton pockets. When you wash them Remember to remove the inner lining and don't touch it with water. If it gets wet, it will become deformed and can no longer keep warm. These quilts are also lightly made. You should keep two covers for yourself, and take the rest to the Shangfeng. I didn’t expect to give you something to go up the mountain. I just reminded me that I brought it. Did you say that lightly is particularly capable?"

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

No matter how poor-tempered Lin Dan was, he was flattered by the siblings at this moment.

Seeing her cute look with her eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of her lips slightly raised, Du Rusong lowered her head and smiled silently, filled with unspeakable gentleness. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "Let me try on the clothes first. If there is something that doesn't fit, Miss Lin can help me change it."

"Okay, I brought the tools." Lin Dan patted the purse on his waist. As a qualified embroiderer, she always keeps her needle and thread in her hands.

Du Rusong took the clothes to the screen and tried them on. It was a good fit, but when he walked out, he asked Lin Dan to help him make it bigger. "You can move when you are old," he said.

Lin Dan immediately took out the small scissors and cut off the lines on the waist, shoulders, underarms, arms, etc. When making the clothes, she left a large space in advance, just remove a few of the creases, and do not need to make too many changes.

Du Rusong raised his hands, turned his body sideways, and let Lin Dan circle around him. When he looked down at her, his eyes couldn't tell. She moved very carefully, and even the tiny thread ends would be picked out with a needle and ripped off, and the slightly too large areas were re-sutured. Seeing her serious and focused expression, Du Rusong only felt satisfied and calm inside.

Du Ruyan winked at his elder brother, and said silently: "My family is a little virtuous, right?"

Du Rusong pursed his lips and smiled softly.

After the clothes were changed, Du Rusong sent the two out of the barracks. The sky was getting darker and darker, and it would be unsafe if they didn't leave. When returning to the camp, the soldiers who had received his favor came over to thank him, and several hundreds and thousands of families tried to get close to him. The quartermaster who once felt sorry for him saw him turn around and left, with a look of horror on his face.

This is the effect of the visit of the prince, and it is also the deterrent of power. Without identity, status, or power, people live like ants. Du Rusong had never realized this so deeply, but after returning to the barracks, he saw the steaming stew on the table, and his hard heart collapsed in an instant. In this world, there are always people close to you and warm you, not for your power, status, and status, but just because they want to do that.

He ate the stew in two or two bites, took a shower, put on new clothes that seemed light but warm, lay on the bed, covered the fluffy silk quilt, and let out a long sigh of relief. The stomach is warm, the body is warm, and even the heart is warm. Next year, the year after, until the end of the rest of his life, he wants to have such a warm night and such a warm person.

…………

With a large sum of money, the Lin family had a very lively New Year. After the Lantern Festival, Du Ruyan also came down from the mountain, and Danyan Embroidery Village only then started business. However, half a month later, the business in the shop plummeted. Few people came to book embroidery clothes and fabrics. The luxury carriages that had frequented the Danyan Embroidery Shop now stopped at the Mengshi Embroidery Shop opposite.

"Fam, Meng Zhong didn't know where to get a batch of new-style brocades, which can sparkle in the sun, they are as colorful and beautiful as neon, they are very good-looking. Although there is only one red, it sells very well. All the ladies and ladies of Lin'an are rushing to buy them." Du Ruyan said worriedly: "I heard that Meng Zhong is still urging the Weaver Girl under his banner to research other patterns as soon as possible. When he is finished, how can we embroider business do business? That kind of fabric sells for two hundred taels of silver per horse. It’s a high-end route, which completely overlaps with ours. If we don’t have better fabrics, I’m afraid it will be difficult to compete with him. Although your embroidery clothes look good, But the speed is too slow, and their fabric can be made into beautiful clothes without embroidering any patterns. Over time, everyone will go to the Mengshi Embroidery Shop, and we will definitely lose many customers here."

Lin Dan bit off a thread, raised his head and asked, "Is the new-style brocade you're talking about that kind of cloth called Phoenix Fire?"

"Yes, that's right. I heard that Meng Zhong dug a group of weaver girls from Shuzhou a year ago, and after months of research, they wove this kind of Shu brocade. The other cloth merchants want to buy, but he doesn't sell it. Shuzhou is also completely He can’t find any similar fabrics, but he exclusively produces them. With this kind of Shu brocade, he can control the cloth supply channels to hold the rest of the cloth dealers, and then sell his own Shu brocade into the palace, and won the royal merchants for years. Qualifications. If this continues, sooner or later, he will monopolize the weaving market in Zhejiang Province and become a local hegemon." Du Ruyan said solemnly: "Our embroidery shop can survive for up to two years under this situation."

Embroidery is a technical job. Due to manual work, it is difficult to achieve large-scale development. But weaving is not the same. As long as the loom is moved, energy is continuously produced to produce cloth, and then a large sum of money is earned. If anyone invents a brand-new and expensive fabric, he can earn Jinshan Yinshan in an instant. With Jinshan Yinshan, how many embroidered women can't come? How many cloth business cages continue?

While the Lanyan Embroidery Village is still developing slowly, Mengshi Embroidery Village has already made strides forward. When it is large enough, it can be trampled to death by turning around. Du Ruyan became more anxious the more he thought about it, and his head was a little bit painful.

Lin Dan didn't panic at all, walked to the window and looked down, just to find that Li Jiarong was walking out of Meng's Embroidery Village, wearing a red flame-like skirt, and the fluttering skirt was illuminated by the spring sunshine. , Exuding dots of streamer, very dazzling, but extremely soft and bright.

"That's the Phoenix Fire? It's like a phoenix bathing on fire!" Lin Dan praised without hesitation.

"Yes, if it weren't for you and Meng Si, I would want to buy one!" Du Ruyan was frustrated. She had to admit that as long as she was a woman, she couldn't resist the temptation of this fabric. It's so beautiful!

Li Jiarong seemed to feel something, and raised her head to meet the eyes of the two of them, and a proud and conceited smile appeared on her face. She pulled La Mengsi's sleeve, and pointed to the opposite window. Meng Si discovered that Lin Dan and Du Ruyan had no expressions on their faces, as if their hearts were still in water, but their eyes flashed with delight. Once she thoroughly studied the embroidery book, Lin Dan would no longer be the demon that trapped her.

"Huh, what are you proud of! I don't believe that there is no better fabric in Shuzhou. I'll let Uncle Sun go to Shuzhou to find the supply." Du Ruyan snorted coldly.

Lin Dan stared at Li Jiarong's clothes for a long time, his eyes full of thought. After work, the two went home together and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the road while walking. The sky has gradually dimmed, the setting sun sinks into the mountain col, and the afterglow shines across the sky, dyeing the layers of clouds into magnificent golden red.

Du Ruyan sighed: "Look, if you can take the clouds from the sky into the cloth and make them into a cloth, then what is the phoenix fire. The most beautiful thing in the world, except for the sun, is probably the moon?"

Lin Dan's eyes lit up, and then smiled softly: "Yunxia cloth and Yuehui cloth, the Weaver Girl can't make them, but I can embroider them with my embroidery needles. It will definitely be better than Phoenix Fire."
