The woman's eyes slowly moved down along the round shoulder of Du Ruyan. When she saw the tail of the robe, her eyes darkened again. The ginkgo leaves at the tail were embroidered the most densely. One was pressed on the other, and the other was laid on the other. The shape of each leaf could be seen clearly, and they would not be mixed up at all. The embroidery work at the end of the line was so real and dreamlike as if she had seen fallen leaves all over the ground.

The woman had never seen such a marvelous embroidery technique. It incisively and vividly displayed the light and shadow change of the color, as if a real leaf had been restrained on the gauze on the spell. Fortunately, she came over and looked at it carefully. Only then did she find the mystery. If she glanced at embroidery from afar as Meng Si did, how could she comprehend the superb skills of embroiderers?

Just because of her arrogance today, Meng Si would definitely lose miserably in the future!

Thinking of this, the woman introduced herself, "Miss Du, my father is the Admiral of Zhejiang Navy, and I am a shu daughter in the Xu family, Xu Qian, the sixth daughter. If we are free in the future, let's have tea together, okay?"

"Nice to meet you, Miss Xu." Du Ruyan nodded with a smile. The supervisor of the Zhejiang Navy had been in charge of the military affairs of Zhejiang Province and had been guarding there for six or seven years. He was known as the local emperor of the province and was not comparable to Li Ran, who had just arrived. It was good for her to keep in touch with his daughter.

The two of them talked happily and harmoniously. Before leaving, Xu Qian said, "Miss Du, if I want to make new clothes in the future, please introduce the embroiderer to me. Her embroidery skill is very good. I like it very much."

"Of course. Our two families are neighbors. We live in the sackcloth alley in the western suburb. If you need anything, you can send a maid to look for me." Li Jiarong, she was able to compromise and cope with others easily. After all, Concubine Min came to the palace with the help of the connections of Empress Du to win the favor of the empress. However, she didn't expect that the glory and wealth in the palace raised the ambition of this dog and let it bit its master. Even if her spine was broken, Du Ruyan would never bow down in front of Li Jiarong.

After bearing the address in mind in silence, Xu Qian said goodbye and left. When she returned to Li Jiarong's table, she was taunted by her sister, the eldest daughter of the Xu family saying, "When you settle down, you love to stay with a broken-down house. You are always a bitch, and you can't change it."

Xu Qian never quarreled with her sister. She just stepped aside and hid in the crowd.

However, no matter how ungrateful and silent Du Ruyan was, she couldn't hide it. Where she was sitting, the light was shining. It merged with the flying ginkgo leaves, like the goddess of the tree. The other ladies wore more luxurious clothes than her, and the best embroiderer embroidered the most beautiful pattern on their bodies. But for some reason, they were so gaudy compared with the simple ginkgo leaf of Du Ruyan.

Even the cotton rose embroidered by Meng Si herself was too complicated, and it would make people feel bored after a few looks.

Gradually, no one paid attention to Li Jiarong anymore, and all the talents looked at the lonely Du Ruyan. The wide blouse set off her thin figure. The more silent she was, the more distressed everyone was for her. Thinking of her bumpy life, Instead of belittling her as usual, people loved her dearly.

Many talents were touched. They spread out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and praised the beauty with poems and portrayed her with paintings. For a moment, inspiration flashed, and good works appeared frequently. However, in the Buddhist Ceremony, the good name of Du Ruoyan had already spread throughout the Ling'an Prefecture. Even if she was no longer the daughter of the Marquis, she had become the goddess that many young talents dreamed of.
