Passing through the main hall Tianqiao Hall, there are two courtyards behind it, and there is a plaque hanging at the door, and the word "Lingering Garden" is written on it. There are two groups on the left and right, and there are four courtyards in total. The male students on the left live in called "Cuizhuxuan" and "Songbaixuan"; The female student on the right can be called "Hanmei Garden" and "Youlan Garden".

Chang Yong took her to the yellow room of "Youlan Garden", "There are two people in each room." You came late, the front rooms have been arranged, you can settle here for the time being, and when there is a vacant room in front of you in the future, you can also move forward. ”

Li Jingshan stood at the door and glanced in, the bed in the east wing room had been made with futons, and there were also rouge gouache and other women's things on the nearby small table, knowing that she had a "roommate". She glanced at the neatly arranged mattresses, tables and chairs, and guessed that it must be a serious and careful woman.

Just thinking about it, Youlan Garden, there was a sudden urgent shout at the door, "Miss Li, Li Jingshan, are you inside?" ”

Chang Yong turned around and smiled, "Your traveling companion is here." He took a step away.

Li Jingshan saw Ye Qing probing her brain by the gate of Youlan Garden, and when she saw her, she bared her teeth with excitement and beckoned again and again, "Miss Li, Senior Sister Li!" Come out quickly. ”

It was inconvenient for him to enter the woman's residence, so he only desperately beckoned him out. Chang Yong smiled and said: "Let's go out quickly, when we set off from Linchuan, Ye Qing begged for a long time to let us wait for you a little longer, but unfortunately there was not enough time...... He's also kind of affectionate. ”

Chang Yong and Li Jingshan walked to the door and smiled at Ye Qing, "I have already helped her complete Ashan's enrollment registration, you can take her around to see Tianqiao Hall again." I still have something to do in the store, so I'll go back first. He said goodbye to them.

The two young people bid farewell to Chang Yong, and there was no restraint, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed. Ye Qing and Li Jingshan looked at each other, and suddenly laughed together, the more they laughed, the happier they became, until their eyes finally turned red, and then they gradually stopped.

Li Jingshan looked at him with a smile, "Senior Brother Ye, I'm back." ”

Ye Qing was also pleased to look at her, and her voice still couldn't help choking when she spoke, "It's good to be back...... It's nice to be back! ”

You must know that he thought that Li Jingshan had been killed, and Young Master Ruan rushed thousands of miles to find Li Jingshan's body. How can it not be exciting to see a living person standing in front of you today!

He wiped his face, quickly cleaned up his mood, and said happily: "Come, senior brother will take you to take a good look at Tianqiaotang." ”

Walking to the door of Cuizhuxuan while speaking, Ye Qing pointed with his hand, "I live in Cuizhuxuan Tianzifang, you can come here to find me if you have something." ”

Li Jingshan was curiously poking in, and five or six women came out from Tianqiao Hall, talking and laughing all the way. When they saw Ye Qing, they all greeted him affectionately and shouted "Ye Gongzi". Ye Qing also bowed with a smile.

He was about to introduce Li Jingshan when a purple-clothed girl looked at Li Jingshan, suddenly stepped forward, saluted and asked, "Is this a new female disciple?" Is accommodation arranged? ”

Li Jingshan hurriedly returned the salute and responded: "In the lower Li Jingshan, it has been arranged in the yellow room." ”

The girl nodded and said flatly: "The little girl Meng Shu is also in the yellow house." ”

It turned out to be the master of the other house.

Li Jingshan hurriedly saluted again, "Please take more care of my sister in the future." ”

Meng Shu only nodded faintly. A girl in a goose yellow dress next to her was enthusiastic, and came up with a smile and took Li Jingshan's hand, "My name is Chen Minzhi, and I live in the Xuanzi room next door." We'll have another companion in the future. ”

The crowd exchanged a few more pleasantries before they dispersed. Because she was a roommate, Li Jingshan glanced at Meng Shu twice, and saw that the woman was also looking at her inquiringly, the two looked at each other, Meng Shu nodded slightly calmly, and turned to leave.

Ye Qing waited for people to walk away and smiled at Li Jingshan: "They should have just returned from the Tianqiao Hall's practice workshop. Let's go, I'll take you to see it too. ”

He led Li Jingshan to the main hall of Tianqiao Hall, and introduced with a sigh: "This place is divided into four parts and eighteen workshops according to the process, which are four major parts: engraving, calcination, inlay and fine gold,"

The two walked through the main hall of Tianqiao Hall and stood in the huge vestibule in front of them. Ye Qing pointed to the rows of bungalows on the left and right, "These four are not independent, but integrated into the eighteen squares. This is the Eighteen Workshops. Each workshop is subdivided into three to a dozen different process groups. ”

He stretched out his arms and pointed around, and sighed with a smile: "In the next few years, our years will be spent in it." ”

Li Jingshan's eyes lit up, and she asked earnestly, "Do I want to go into the workshop to have a look?" ”

"Feel free to visit." Ye Qing said with a smile, "The Eighteen Fangs are closed at the beginning of the day and open at the end of the day. The disciples of Tianqiao Hall can enter and practice at will. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingshan had already walked to the nearest workshop. Inside, it turned out to be a standard classroom layout: a long table in front of the large room, and a glass display case on the side, but it was empty.

"When the master was teaching, he would sometimes display beautiful works in the display case for the students to imitate." Ye Qing pointed to the glass cabinet and said, "You are two days late, two days ago, Jingbao Pavilion sent a batch of various colored jewelry to display, so that the students could open their eyes." ”

Li Jingshan sighed regretfully.

In front of the long table, there are two columns of twelve square tables, on both sides of the wall hung a flow chart of the engraving process, against the wall there are two rows of lattice cabinets, each of which is numbered and locked.

"That's the toolbox, and each student's tools are placed separately. The contact materials that were distributed were also stored inside. Ye Qing said behind her, "The basic equipment of each workshop is roughly the same, except for the calcination workshop, you have to go to a separate Vermilion Bird Workshop to practice." ”

Li Jingshan walked a few more squares, and sure enough, it was much the same. She secretly commented on Tianqiaotang: concise and atmospheric, practical and efficient. However, there is the prototype of a modern craft workshop. The corners of her mouth curled slightly: Like!

"By the way, you just said that those female disciples are here to practice...... Li Jingshan turned her head and asked, "Have you started teaching now?" ”

She remembers, but school didn't start until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ye Qing shook his head, "Not yet." It's just that after the official start of school, there will be assessments and grading every month. Therefore, the disciples will also come over to familiarize themselves with the tools and practice their hands when they have time. ”

He smiled, "After all, those who can come here to learn are not mediocre and basic skills." ”

"Assessment...... What kind of assessment will it be? ”

"I'm not a master, how can I know?" Ye Qing shook his head and smiled, "I heard that it's very strict." ”

The two walked towards the Lingering Garden while talking, but saw a person dressed in brocade clothes, leaning on the edge of the moon gate of the Lingering Garden with his arms crossed. Seeing the two of them coming, a trace of unhappiness flashed on their originally smiling faces. Isn't it the third young Ruan Mingyu of the Ruan family.

Li Jingshan walked forward quickly, and still saluted in front of outsiders, "I've seen the third young master." Still couldn't help but ask happily, "Why are you here?" Didn't you say you were going back to the main store today? ”

Ruan Mingyu let go of his arm and snorted arrogantly, "I didn't want to take you around the store and Tianqiaotang in person." But it looks like you've found a good guide. Are you Ye Qing? ”

Ye Qing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted in a formal manner.

As soon as Ruan Mingyu remembered what Li Jingshan wrote in the letter, he had already made friends with him before he officially entered the school, and his face immediately turned bad again.

He nodded coldly, as a return gift. Ye Qing saw it in his eyes and glanced at Li Jingshan from the corner of his eye. I heard Young Master Ruan say to Li Jingshan: "I've finished visiting here, but do you want to go with me to see the main store of Jingbao Pavilion?" ”

"Okay!" Li Jingshan responded happily, turned around to say goodbye to Ye Qing, Ye Qing smiled and waved her hand, but asked irrelevantly, "Miss Li, the pearl shell pendant that you matched last time, are you still satisfied?" ”

Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood. She glanced at Ruan Mingyu with a smile and replied briskly, "It's very well deserved." Thank you, Senior Brother Ye! ”

Ye Qing also smiled with bent eyebrows, and officially shook his hand goodbye.

Ruan Mingyu looked at his smile and listened to the two of them talking in code, and his heart was even more unhappy. I thought to myself, I have to check the details of this person when I go back.

From Tianqiaotang to the main store of Jingbaoge, it is only a moment to take a carriage.

The decoration and layout of several branches are in the same vein as the main store, so when Li Jingshan saw the main store again, there was a sense of closeness that she had not seen for a long time. Just entering the store, that sense of closeness was immediately replaced by shock - luxurious, exquisite, elegant, and integrated into a unique temperament, which made Li Jingshan unable to take her eyes off it for a while.

"Welcome to the Treasure Hunt."

Ruan Mingyu put one hand behind his back, bent down slightly, and was full of the posture of a shopkeeper welcoming customers, and said with a smile: "Girl, please." ”

Li Jingshan came back to her senses, was amused by his posture, and bowed back, "The young owner of the Jingbao Pavilion came to greet him personally, and the slave family was flattered. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Ruan Mingyu led her in, and introduced: "Although my father is in charge now, most of the stores are taken care of by Uncle Sun, the second shopkeeper, and Uncle Chang, the third shopkeeper, and only report my father's decision except for major decisions. ”

A guy brought tea up, Li Jingshan took a sip, and it turned out to be the top-grade Mao Feng. Sure enough, it is rich, and even the welcome tea is a high-end product for one tael of silver.

Ruan Mingyu saw her expression and already guessed what she was thinking, smiled lightly, but was quite complacent in her voice, "Most of the people who trade in the store are high-ranking officials and nobles, and they can't take out too bad tea." ”

Li Jingshan suddenly realized that the master in front of her was really born with a golden spoon in his mouth and grew up in the pearl and jade agate. Only such a family background can cultivate this all-round extravagance from the inside out, including but not exposed. She also finally understood that this master was a person who once stood high on the clouds.

By chance, they were arranged by fate to meet in Minzhou, and from then on he led her to the door of a new world. This gate is like a dragon gate for a carp to turn into a dragon. And now, she has come to the high dragon gate!

She looked around at the jewels around her, her eyes were full of luxury, and finally her eyes fixed on Ruan Mingyu's handsome face, looked into his eyes, and said firmly: "Thank you." I will definitely jump over the dragon gate and go to the clouds! ”

Ruan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant, and a soft smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth.

He moved the corners of his lips, and was about to respond, when a delicate voice suddenly came from behind him, "Cousin, you are here, let me find it!" ”
