Chapter 87: Embroider girl 9

When Du Rusong returned home, he ordered the old housekeeper to send the good leather and one hundred and twenty silver in the storeroom to Lin Fu.
The old housekeeper was a loyal servant left by Du by a pair of children. When he was a child, he took care of the brothers and sisters when he grew up. He devoted himself to them and urged him to dissuade him. Jia is so thick that cutting and sewing them together is a hard work. How old is that little girl in the Lin family? Does she have the skill and strength? If not, the old servant will go outside to find another craftsman to give You can do it. These skins are all good skins. Don't let the little girl of the Lin family mess up. "
Du Rusong thought of Lin Dan's fierce choppy fire, and couldn't help chuckling: "Sun Bo, you think about it, the little girl is so strong that she can definitely cut and sew leather armor. And where can you find a craftsman for me? The craftsmen who make leather armor are in the army, and they are extremely strict in control. The outside craftsmen dare not touch these things. They were found to have food. But unlike the Lin family, the Lin family was born of a horse thief and naturally had a doorway. Leather armor and weapons, even armor can be equipped. I thought and thought, I'm afraid only Lin can pick up this job. "
As soon as Sun Bo thought about it, he nodded and said: "I still think the son is thoughtful. I didn't expect to move to this dilapidated small house, but it is also good."
Du Rusong did not know what to think, and his mouth bent involuntarily. What he didn't tell Sun Bo was that even if the leather armor was made, he was not ready to wear it during training. Since he deliberately made things difficult for him, he would wait to grab his little pigtails. Seeing that he did not know where to find a set of leather armor, his face was not reproachable, and he would inevitably send someone to investigate secretly. If following the clue to the Lin family's head, the little girl was involved, it is his sin.
Therefore, after the leather armor was finished, he put it in the barracks, and waited for the pirates to commit crimes, and then he would wear them to kill the enemy. When it comes to the battlefield, no one will care whether you wear leather armor or not, and never ask where you are from. After the war, many soldiers would pick up the equipment on the pirate's body and use it for their own purposes, and he would deduce the origin of the leather armor as a booty, so it would be fine.
Thinking of this, Du Rusong's heart was mixed with bitterness, bitter and astringent. At that time, when he was fresh and angry, he thought that he and his sister would fall into such a state, not only homeless, no relatives to invest in, but even the wear on his body would be hard to buy.
But he will not always struggle at the bottom of the valley. One day, sooner or later, he will recapture everything that was lost, so that those who trampled them will pay a hundredfold and a thousandfold. After thinking about it, he looked down and narrowed his eyes, showing a ruthless smile.

After Lin Dan got the cowhide from Sun Bo, he went to Zhang Hui to make tools. Making leather armor is different from cutting fabrics. Needles and threads are special, and pliers, hammers and other things are needed. When Lin Dafu was a horse thief, Zhang Hui made all the leather armor she wore. She naturally kept these tools.
"What did you say, you actually promised to help Du Rusong make leather armor! Did you know that leather armor can only be made by the craftsmen in the barracks, and no one outside can touch it ..." "He gave a hundred and two silver."
Zhang Hui's frowning expression immediately turned into gentleness and kindness, and whispered softly, "You wait, I'll get it for you."
"By the way, let me hit fifteen pounds of iron pieces. Each piece of iron is just two inches square. I'm going to wrap it in leather. The cowhide alone is too weak. If he can't wear armor, I will disguise the armor. It's leather armor, right?
Lin Dan said again.
Zhang Hui turned back suddenly, with a stern expression: "Do you know that the iron is also under the control of the government? You have to report a hammer, let alone 15 pounds of iron? You want your mother's life!"
Lin Dan's tone was calm: "Mother, one hundred and two silver."
Zhang Hui raised her hand, slowly smoothed out his expression, and smiled, "OK, I'll find someone to do it." She was the second master of the horse thief, everyone's leather armor, armor, sword, sword and halberd were all She finds someone to do it, naturally there is a doorway in this regard.
She had just crossed the threshold, but stopped, and frowned, "Well, no, when are you going to make leather armor?"
"I saw you did it when I was a kid. At that time Dad often went to buy goods from other places, and you told him to wear leather armor all the time. You also know that I can learn everything at a glance." Lin Dan explained briefly .
There was no doubt about Zhang Hui, so she went out. When she came to the door, she couldn't help looking back, looked at her daughter sitting under the porch, and smiled in her eyes. The daughter is extremely clever and can see everything at a glance. This is what the three aunts and four aunts told her long ago, but it is her daughter's perseverance that makes her proud. She was very decisive and more mobile, knowing that she couldn't sit still and was fickle, she used chopped wood to kill the impetuousness. The firewood at home was consumed so fast. How could Zhang Hui not find it? She just didn't want to pierce.
The daughter does not need to be urged by others, she can find a way to smooth her temper, which is like her father. If she keeps going like this, why worry that the Lin family is not happy?
Wanting to stop, Zhang Hui looked at her daughter again, and then went out happily.
The next day, Lin Dan was preparing to make leather armor, but Du Ruyan came in with a beautiful and quiet girl and said she was going to introduce her to a business.
It was learned that the girl was the sixth lady of the house of the Saidushi Governor, and Lin Dan did not show a sincere and horrified look, but said humblely: "Miss Xu, what kind of pattern do you like, can you draw it for me to see. I try Do what you like. "
When dealing with unfamiliar customers, Lin Dan naturally asks a few more questions, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
"I like wisteria flowers. Can Miss Lin help me make a skirt full of wisteria flowers?" Xu Qian was silent at home, but she was actually a talented woman. She thought about it, and then she took the pen and traced it.
Lin Dan stared at the painting for a while, and bowed his head, "Yes, just embroider wisteria flowers. I wonder when the lady needs new clothes?"
"It's best to be before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Xu Qian put down her brush.
At this time, there are still 16 days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. It should be in time for construction, and Lin Dan agreed. Xu Qian immediately paid five or two silvers as a deposit, then quit her job, and behaved very gentle and kind from beginning to end, completely unlike the high-ranking Governor's Palace.
Lin Dan's impression of Xu Qian was very good. After sending the person away, he said to Du Ruyan: "Such customers can introduce me more in the future. Alas, this is your commission."
Du Ruyan stared at one or two pieces of silver in his palm, his face full of aggressive expression.
"Why, too little? I'll give you half or two more silver. One or two and half, no more, I won't make any more. In the future, I will give you one or two for every customer you bring. Draw it. "Lin Dan picked up the scissors, cut a small piece of broken silver in half, and stuffed it into Du Ruyan's hand.
Du Ruyan held it for a while before slowly closing her palms, holding the broken silver in her fist, and yelling, "Can I make money?" This was the first money she made on her own, although only one The two halves are pitifully small, but they feel better than ever!
Without falling to the bottom, she will never understand the joy of self-reliance.
"Brother, brother, I have made money! Lin Dan gave me a half or two as a draft! Brother, did you hear that?" She ran to the yard, yelling across a wall, her face full of joy and joy. Look.
Lin Dan looked at her in astonishment, totally unhappy about what was going on.
Du Rusong quickly jumped to the wall and smiled and listened to her sister's story about how she made money. Her eyes were full of pity and tenderness. Seeing his sister overwhelmed by life, she became no longer arrogant and no longer bright, and his heart was as painful as a sword.
However, when I moved to this house, I heard of Lin Dan's experience, and watched the other side's efforts to fight for tomorrow, my sister slowly found a better one. She hid her pride in her bones, learned to compromise, learned patience, and learned to be strong. Now she is happier than in Andinghou.
Seeing Lin Dan coming up hurriedly, Du Rusong raised a gentle smile and said silently with his mouth, "Thank you."

When Xu Qian returned to Tito's Mansion, her mother, Koushi, had been waiting for her for a long time, and kept complaining: "You child, where did you go, you can't find anyone. You know, in order to meet Noble guest, the lady is going to make a new set of clothes for the ladies in the house, and invited Meng Si to let her personally measure the size for you. All the ladies are gone, but you are not there, and the beautiful fabrics are all People picked it, and only these outdated flower cloths were left. On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, what are you wearing? I'm almost sad for you, what tea do you drink, hurry up with me to Meng's Embroidery Village to find Meng Si Let her make up your size. "
The tea cup was snatched, and the tea was spilled on the body to wet the clothes, but Xu Qian was not worried at all. Xu Xu said: "Auntie, don't be busy. You think your wife invited Meng Si to measure the size, and it really made you She cut some clothes for our sisters by herself? Meng Si could embroider an embroidery screen casually, and she could sell a thousand and two pieces of silver. Is the lady willing to spend money on our nieces? It's just a face-to-face look. You see Now, when Meng Si takes the size back, there must be only seven sisters' clothes embroidered by herself, and the sisters next to them only wear clothes made by ordinary embroidery workers. "
"It's better than you wearing old clothes to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, right? You know, I already inquired that the distinguished guest on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival was not someone else, but the great prince who visited Haiphong on purpose. If you can get him at the banquet, Favored, may be able to marry into the royal family, pingbuqingyun. You must not hide again as before, I heard that the wife intends to assign you to Master Li, the continuation string, if you miss this opportunity, you can Bitter! "
Kou spun around in a hurry, but Xu Qian didn't panic at all, soothing: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm already looking for someone to make clothes. This time, I will definitely seize the opportunity." The adult is very violent, and his ex-wife was killed by him alive. The wife and father knew this, but in order to win over the military forces, she was pushed out as a victim. She had been so safe and secure, and they hadn't let her live well, so she could only fight for herself once.
