An Lingrong after rebirth

An Lingrong's mother, Lin Zhixuan, is one of the inheritors of Suzhou embroidery. She was born into an embroidery family. The women in the family began to learn embroidery skills at an early age, and all of them are embroidery masters.

Lin Zhixuan has had a strong interest in Suzhou embroidery since she was a child. She often practices hard, hoping to become a Suzhou embroidery master like her elders one day. After years of hard study and practice, Lin Zhixuan finally became an outstanding Suzhou embroidery artist.

Her needlework is delicate, the colors are bright, and the patterns are exquisite. Each of her works can be regarded as a work of art and is deeply loved by local people. Lin Zhixuan married An Bihuai, a scholar from Songyang, and gave birth to a daughter, An Lingrong. He was addicted to wine and women all day long, and did not work properly, putting all the burden of the family on Lin Zhixuan's shoulders.

Despite the hard life, Lin Zhixuan still insists on embroidery and makes a living by her craft. She hopes to provide a good growth environment for her daughter, so that she can have the opportunity to receive education and leave this small county.

However, life after marriage was not what Lin Xiu wanted. Her husband An Bihuai was from a poor family and did not work properly, which made Lin Zhixuan worried. But even so, Lin Zhixuan still did not give up her love and pursuit of Suzhou embroidery skills.

Not only did she continue to study Suzhou embroidery skills, she also passed on her skills to her daughter An Lingrong.

In An Lingrong's memory, her mother was always busy. She would sit in front of the window every day, sewing and weaving beautiful patterns with the silk thread in her hands.

Influenced by her surroundings since childhood, An Lingrong also developed a strong interest in embroidery.

Lin Zhixuan earned a lot of money with her exquisite Suzhou embroidery skills, and even bought an official position of a small county magistrate for An Bihuai.

An Lingrong lived up to everyone's expectations and inherited her mother's Suzhou embroidery skills, becoming an outstanding Suzhou embroidery successor.

Suzhou embroidery is a world-famous traditional handicraft with a long history and exquisite craftsmanship!

Its unique needlework and delicate lines are like little elves jumping and dancing on the fabric, which is breathtaking!

All of this is thanks to the clever embroiderers who use their hands to weave silk threads into beautiful paintings, as if we are looking into another world.

One day, An Lingrong was embroidering at home when she heard a commotion outside the door. She put down her needlework and walked to the door to check, only to see a group of people surrounding a gorgeously dressed man.

"Whose girl is this? She is so pretty?" The man's gaze fell on An Lingrong, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I'm An Lingrong. May I ask who you are?" An Lingrong bowed slightly, feeling a little confused.

"It turns out to be Miss An. I am a wealthy businessman from the capital. I was passing by here and heard that Miss An has superb Suzhou embroidery skills, so I came to visit her." The man said with a smile.

An Lingrong thought this might be an opportunity. She invited the man into the house and showed him some of her works. The man praised her works and expressed his willingness to buy and promote An Lingrong's Suzhou embroidery works.

An Lingrong's Suzhou embroidery became more and more famous, and more and more people came to order it. Her life gradually improved, and she worked harder to study the Suzhou embroidery skills, hoping to pass on this ancient art.

The charm of Suzhou embroidery lies in its diversity.

Whether it is gorgeous flowers, cute animals, or dignified and elegant portraits, they can all be displayed vividly and vividly in Suzhou embroidery works.

Every stitch and every thread contains the hard work and wisdom of the embroiderer, which makes people marvel!

Imagine that when you see a Suzhou embroidery work, you will be attracted by the delicate lines, as if you can feel the concentration and passion of the embroiderer as she shuttles between the needle and thread.

This kind of emotional transmission makes Suzhou embroidery not only a work of art, but also a cultural heritage. It carries the stories of embroiderers and records the traces of time.

On this day, An Lingrong was concentrating on embroidering a peony in the embroidery workshop. Her needlework was skillful and the lines were smooth, as if she had given the peony flower life.

There was a commotion at the door. An Lingrong looked up and saw a group of noble ladies escorting a charming woman in.

"This is the most famous embroiderer in Jiangnan. She came here specially to see your Suzhou embroidery." said one of the ladies.

An Lingrong's heart tightened and she quickly stood up and bowed to the embroiderer.

The embroiderer took a look at the embroidery in An Lingrong's hands, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This peony is so lifelike, the needlework is delicate, and the color transition is natural. It is really rare," the embroiderer exclaimed.

After hearing this, An Lingrong was secretly happy.

"But..." The embroiderer changed the subject, "Although this Suzhou embroidery is good, if we can add some innovative elements, it may be even more outstanding."

An Lingrong asked for advice humbly, and the embroiderer smiled and gave her some pointers.

An Lingrong suddenly had an epiphany and decided to try some new needlework techniques and patterns.

After receiving the instructions, An Lingrong studied hard in the embroidery workshop every day. She combined traditional needlework with novel patterns and constantly tried to innovate.

After a period of time, An Lingrong's Suzhou embroidery skills made a qualitative leap. Her works attracted much attention in the market and became famous.

A grand banquet was being held in the palace, and a batch of exquisite Suzhou embroidery was needed as gifts. The official in charge of purchasing heard of An Lingrong's fame and came to the embroidery workshop to select them in person.

An Lingrong showed her latest works. The Suzhou embroidery that incorporated innovative elements caught the officials' eyes and they immediately decided to choose her works.

Soon after, An Lingrong brought her Suzhou embroidery into the palace, where her skills were appreciated and recognized by more people, and she became a veritable Suzhou embroidery master and one of the favorites of the concubines and nobles.

An Lingrong's reputation grew, and even the Queen heard about her superb Suzhou embroidery skills. One day, the Queen summoned An Lingrong, praised her Suzhou embroidery works, and gave her a generous reward.

This made the other palace maids jealous and they all talked about An Lingrong behind her back. But An Lingrong didn't care and she continued to focus on her Suzhou embroidery creation.

Soon after, the emperor also noticed An Lingrong's talent and ordered her to embroider a dragon robe for him. An Lingrong took on this arduous task, working day and night and putting all her efforts into it.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, An Lingrong is no longer the unknown and humble girl she once was. With her exquisite embroidery skills and unremitting efforts, she finally got the rewards she deserved.

The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing. An Lingrong sat in front of the window, concentrating on embroidering a beautiful picture of a hundred years of longevity.

Every stitch and thread is poured with her hard work and passion, as if telling the story in her heart.

After several months, this Hundred Years of Longevity painting was finally completed. Its bright colors, delicate needlework and lifelike patterns are amazing.

When my mother, Aunt Liu, and my father saw this picture of the 100-year-old, they could not help but be fascinated by it. They exclaimed: "This is a masterpiece!"

An Lingrong became one of the most watched figures in the palace, the capital, and Laiyang County. Her Suzhou embroidery works were not only loved by the emperor, but also attracted many royal nobles to come and appreciate and buy them.

An Lingrong became famous overnight, and her Suzhou embroidery works became the object of everyone's pursuit. However, the store was often out of stock!

"Sister Lingrong, our store's business is so good, but we don't have that much goods now. What should we do?" Jixiang said anxiously.

An Lingrong frowned: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so popular. But we can't let our guests down, we have to think of a solution quickly."

"How about finding a few more skilled embroiderers?" Jixiang suggested.

"Well, that's an idea. But it's not easy to find the right person." An Lingrong sighed.

"Then we can go ask around and see if there are any candidates to recommend. Or we can post a job notice in the store, maybe we can attract some talented embroiderers." "Jixiang", one of the maids beside An Lingrong, suggested.

An Lingrong nodded: "That's a good idea. Let's do as you say. By the way, don't forget to tell them that if their skills are good enough, we can cooperate for a long time."

"I understand, Sister Lingrong." Jixiang agreed with a smile.

An Lingrong looked at the busy shop in front of her and thought about the future development direction in her heart. She knew that if she wanted to run the shop for a long time, she needed not only good products but also more talents and resources.

Therefore, in the following days, An Lingrong continued to work hard while looking for excellent embroiderers. Finally, after some efforts, she found several embroiderers with superb skills and established long-term cooperative relationships with them.

As time went by, An Lingrong's embroidery business grew bigger and bigger. Her works were not only popular in the capital, but also gradually sold to other regions. And she herself gained both fame and fortune!

However, as her fame grew, troubles also followed. Some people began to envy her achievements and tried every means to discredit her reputation.

Some people also wanted to use her Suzhou embroidery skills to achieve their own ulterior motives. In this complicated palace struggle, An Lingrong gradually fell into trouble.

Despite this, An Lingrong still insisted on her beliefs. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, she had to constantly improve her own strength.

An Lingrong studied embroidery skills more diligently, striving to achieve perfection. She also learned how to get along with others and try to avoid offending others.

During this difficult period, An Lingrong made some like-minded friends.

They supported and encouraged each other and overcame difficulties together. Among them was a woman named Zhen Huan, who was smart, witty and kind-hearted. The two soon became good friends who could talk about anything.

Zhen Huan told An Lingrong: "In this palace, in the capital, we need to always be vigilant, but we must also believe in our abilities. As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties." An Lingrong nodded gratefully and said that she would keep Zhen Huan's words in mind.

With the help of Zhen Huan, An Lingrong finally got out of the predicament. She proved her worth with her wisdom and courage, and won the respect and trust of more people. And her Suzhou embroidery skills are constantly improving, creating more amazing works.

At a palace banquet, An Lingrong displayed a Suzhou embroidery dress she had made herself. The dress attracted the attention of everyone in the audience with its unique design and exquisite craftsmanship. People present praised her talent and creativity, and even the emperor praised her highly.

An Lingrong smiled and thanked everyone. She knew that all this was achieved through her own efforts. In the process, she also understood a truth: only by sticking to your dreams can you go further on the road of life.

An Lingrong continued to display her talent and created more excellent Suzhou embroidery works. Her name became a legend in the palace and was praised by the world. And she also used her actions to interpret what it means to "stay true to your original aspiration and achieve your goal".
