The two aunts checked the silk threads several times and shook their heads. "There are four colors."

"Nope, there are six colors." Lin Dan took over the silk threads and arranged them in different types. One deep green, one dark green, one medium green, and one light green. She picked up the other two and said slowly, "This color is between deep green and dark green, and this color is between medium green and light green. The difference is so obvious. Can't you see it?"

Seeing that the two aunts shook their heads in a daze, she took out a white embroidery cloth and put the silk thread on it as a reference. Then, seeing that they still couldn't tell the difference, she placed the deep green silk thread at the bottom and put the silk thread between the deep green and the dark green color above. In this way, the two finally saw a slight difference between the two threads. But when they looked carefully, they felt that they saw wrongly.

"There is really a slight difference, isn't there?" Third Aunt gave an uncertain look to Fourth Aunt.

"I think so?" Fourth Aunt answered reluctantly.

Lin Dan held her forehead and wanted to sigh. They couldn't even recognize these colors; how could they teach her? The two aunts were too unreliable.

However, soon, the two aunts laughed wildly and said proudly, "We thought that our child was not talented, but now it seems that's not the case. As you know, in the field of embroidery, the embroidery skill is important, but the color is even more important. A simple design, as long as little more color is added to it, it would become completely different. Ordinary people can't tell the colors you showed us just now. It can be seen that you are born to be extremely sensitive to colors. You are more skillful in color matching than others. This kind of talent is one in a million. Even Meng Si is far inferior to you. Today, we will show you the use of colors in embroidery."

The two aunts drew two five petals flowers on the embroidery cloth, one with a silk thread of different shades but of the same color, another with a single colored silk thread, and Lin Dan compared the difference. Although the single-colored five petals flower was adorable, it was dull compared to the multi-colored five petals flower.

The five petals flower was embroidered with silk threads of the same color. The tip of the petal was a little pinkish-white and gradually turned into water red. When it extended to the stamen, it had become a little purplish. The colors varied, layer by layer, and there was almost no trace of oddness.

It was just a regular pattern and a simple embroidery work, but it would bring such astonishing feelings after adding some color transformations. Lin Dan stared at the two flowers for a long time, realized, and said, "Auntie, I finally can understand. Color matching is the soul of embroidery. If you apply it well, no matter how common the pattern is, it will shine vividly. I will definitely learn how to draw and how to apply colors well."

"Great! Here are some drawings. You can learn to copy first, then only you learn to draw by yourself. You can draw whatever you want, and gradually you will acquire the drawing skills." The two aunts gave a few drawing books to Lin Dan and went out to work.

The book recorded several of Meng Si's works, all of which were ink paintings. A small bridge, a river, people, and a boat sailing down with the current; it looked very artistic. Lin Dan had planned to copy her painting, but she didn't move her brush for a long time. These paintings should be inspired by Meng Si's memory. She discovered the beauty of life and engraved them in her heart. After returning home, she sketched them out with a brush.

But Lin Dan had no memory. What she could see in her mind was only the fragments of the original owner's memory. She couldn't find the beauty of life, nor could she sketch with her imagination. She had neither past nor future. She only had the present.
