Having been with her for a long time, Du Ruyan knew that she was a very honest person. She would not say anything, not lie, nor promise anything she couldn't do. She said that she could embroider a cloth more beautiful than Phoenix Fire with embroidery needles, which was believed by Du Ruyan.

"How are you going to do it?" asked Du Ruyan excitedly after she got home. If Lin Dan could really make the cloud-cloth or the moon-cloth, no matter how good the brocade in Meng Clan Embroidery Shop was, it would not be able to occupy the weaving market in the province, nor the quota of imperial business. The nobles in the palace always used the most beautiful and expensive cloth. There were light cloud-cloth and moonlight pearl jade in front of them, so they would not make do with the inferior cloth. In this way, even if the scale of Danyan Embroidery House was not large and the yield was not high, it was not easy for Meng Zhong to touch them.

"I'll embroider it with silk directly," said Lin Dan as she walked into the backyard. As soon as she walked into the backyard, Cui Lan, who was reeling, immediately stood up and happily called Young Lady. She was used to doing rough work, and her fingers were full of calluses. It was difficult to operate delicate embroidery work, so she came to learn how to make cloth. But up to now, she had only learned the first step of silk reeling, and she had to slowly think about the later steps.

Lin Dan nodded at her and encouraged her. Then she picked up a bunch of silk and carefully picked out one of them. She said to Du Ruyan, "Look, silk is made of these silk threads one by one. No matter how thin the silk threads are, they are made of dozens or even hundreds of silk threads. When you hang a silk thread in the air, it is almost invisible to the naked eye, but when the sun shines over, it will reflect a crystal light, making you discover its existence. That's what I want. In fact, there is a faint sense of light."

She raised her hand and dropped the silk in the air. The silk was so thin that it was hard to find it if you didn't observe it carefully. However, when you changed the angle to look at the sun, you would find a faint beam of light in the air. It was this silk with light that made up mirror-like smooth silk.

"Dandan, I know what you want to do. But how thin a needle is needed to go through this kind of silk? How much time and energy will it take to embroider the silk onto the cloth one by one to form a complicated pattern? Will it be too hard?" Du Ruyan asked. It was not until now that she realized why most embroiderers were blind before they reached fifty. Embroidery was too meticulous and vast!

"I have good eyes. Don't worry." Lin Dan waved her hand indifferently. Because of the secret practice of martial arts, her eyes could see things in the dark night, so she had no trouble in this respect.

After thinking for a while, she said firmly, "No matter how much time and energy it will take, we have to make better cloth, so that we can live in peace. Once a shop has the best selling product, when others attack us, we can give a heavy punch and smash their plot."

An attack was the best defense. She always believed in it.

"Dandan, you're right. We have to do something that no one else can't do to become an irreplaceable existence. Dandan, why are you so excellent? When you meet difficulties, you never panic, but actively think of ways to solve them. No wonder my brother always tells me to learn from you." Du Ruyan was moved.

After staying in the palace for five years, Du Ruyan learned nothing but intrigue and deception. Those things made her view of life more and more negative, but after she was together with Lin Dan, she suddenly found that the things that made her feel disgusted and even scared before were nothing at all! The real strength did not lie on the surface, but on the heart.
