Pretending not to notice the gazes of the rich ladies, Zhang Hui, and the third concubine walked into their shop step by step. They raised their hands to pick up the expensive cloth, and inadvertently waved a ray of sunglow or moonlight. Then they walked to the hall and sat down. Their tiptoes curved up, making the hemline of their dress scattered on the ground, shining brightly.

The sight from the opposite became more and more intense. Finally, someone couldn't help but walk quickly into the shop and asked, "Two bosses, what kind of cloth do you use for these two clothes? Is there any available in the shop?"

"Oh, this is a new kind of cloth my daughter has just developed. It's called cloud-cloth and moon-cloth. We can only produce one cloth a month. Our family doesn't need it enough. How can we be willing to sell it to others?" Zhang Hui casually waved her hand.

"Only one piece of cloth a month?"

"This piece of cloth is as soft as a cloud and smooth as a mirror, and it feels very smooth. To make this kind of cloth, you need to pick out the thinnest and the best silk. The labor and time it takes are unimaginable to others. Just the step of selecting silk alone needs five or six weaving women to make it day and night. Do you think the yield can be high?" Zhang Hui said.

Hearing this, the lady was more and more yearning for the cloud-cloth and the moon-cloth. The quality and touch were good. She found it as soon as she came in. There was no need for others to flatter her. The quality, touch, light, and color of the new brocade from the Meng's Embroidery House were several levels inferior to these two kinds of cloth. It was really a competition of good and bad!

"Can I order these two kinds of cloth? I'm willing to pay a high price for it." the lady asked expectantly.

The ladies and debutantes who followed him all offered a high price, more than twice the highest price of the new Shujin. But in the blink of an eye, the Meng's Embroidery House was empty and the door was desolate.

Zhang Hui almost agreed. But when she thought of her daughter's advice, she waved her hand, again and again, saying that they couldn't book the production, because the yield couldn't be increased. These two clothes used a total of half a piece of cloth, but it took Lin Dan more than three months. If she really received these orders in front of her, she would be exhausted? But what good would it do to the Danyan Embroidery House if she didn't take it? It could only be seen that the attraction of the clothes that could not be bought would slowly decline, and it might provoke these noble ladies, bringing trouble to the embroidery house.

In a word, they couldn't make mass production. The cloth embroidered by women couldn't compete with the flow-line production. Thinking of this, Zhang Hui became more and more worried. She didn't dare to take the orders casually.

Every time Xu Qian went shopping, she would go to the Danyan Embroidery House to have a seat. Occasionally, she would meet Du Ruyan and Lin Dan, and she could have a talk with them. A few days ago, the Shujin in the Meng's Embroidery House was very popular. Mrs. Xu quickly moved to the Meng's Embroidery House to buy clothes, but Xu Qian didn't change her original intention. If she wanted to make clothes, she would only go to the Danyan Embroidery House. It didn't matter if it was new or not, and it didn't matter if she was despised or laughed at. She didn't chase the tide and only chose what she thought was right.

She had already become good friends with them, so she had to take care of their business.

But today, the Danyan Embroidery House was very lively. Guests came from the opposite one after another, walking around Zhang Hui and the third concubine. Xu Qian was stunned when she saw the clothes on the two. It was so beautiful. The golden-red halo shrouded Zhang Hui's whole body, making her skin white, red, and pink. Set off by the dark blue cloth with starry light, the third concubine looked quiet and beautiful.
