In the past, the jewelry stores in Minzhou were dominated by Si Zhenfang, and the sales channels of various large households were firmly established. Every year, I sit and wait for the official eunuchs to come to order and ship, and I don't care about shouting hard with those small businesses. But I don't want to hang out a big, big promotional sign in front of Si Zhenfang now!

The businessman's sense of smell is the keenest. The shopkeepers of the jewelry stores immediately smelled unusual information from it: the days of Si Zhenfang were not as good as before.

And what caused this situation, everyone knew after a little analysis that it was only because of the Jingbao Pavilion that was born out of nowhere, but in just over a year, it has leveraged the interests of Si Zhenfang, which has been entrenched in Minzhou City for nearly a hundred years.

The shopkeepers moved for profit and came to the door to seek cooperation.

Ruan Minh Yu is always polite, but he is cautious about cooperation. Finally, it is proposed that it is better to form an industry chamber of commerce in the jewelry industry, so that everyone can not only cooperate conveniently, but also communicate with each other. As for the specific charter, it needs to be considered in the long term.

Naturally, all the shopkeepers agreed. Ruan Mingyu was elected to preside over the overall situation.

Ruan Mingyu held the folding fan, tapped it lightly in the palm of his hand, and said with a modest smile: "In terms of age, qualifications, and ability, it is difficult for the younger generations to match the masters, how can they take on this important task." Please let the little brother go. ”

He picked up the teacup, slowly plucked the tea leaves, and said quietly: "In Minzhou City, the person who holds the bull's ear in the jewelry industry is still Si Zhenfang. If a chamber of commerce is established, it is always not beautiful to lack the seat of Si Zhenfang. ”

Someone said: "Si Zhenfang has a big shelf and a big pomp, I'm afraid I won't join." ”

Someone immediately replied: "It's better not to join, his family has never wanted to make money for themselves, and he doesn't care if others live or die." ”

"It's just that none of the biggest local businesses have joined, and the appeal of this chamber of commerce is only limited......"

Ruan Mingyu held the tea cup and listened to everyone's gossip for a long time before he smiled lightly, "This matter is not in a hurry, for the long-term development of Minzhou's jewelry industry, you can sit down and discuss it slowly." It's best if Si Zhenfang is willing to join, if he doesn't want to, we don't have to be him. ”

Everyone nodded yes, and after the discussion, they waited for the second half of the year, and then found a free time to discuss the matter before they dispersed.

Ruan Mingyu looked out the window at the setting sun, and the clouds burned half of the sky. He slowly unfolded the "picturesque" fan, and the corners of his mouth were smug smiles.

The news of the gathering of the jewelry store shopkeepers naturally can't be concealed from Si Zhenfang.

"Father, do those shafters want to unite and besiege our Si Zhenfang!" Li Jingyao was furious.

Li Zhixuan dialed the abacus, and stopped when he heard the words, "Containment? It's not that simple. If the Ruan family wants to become big in Minzhou, they must not be able to bypass us. He wants us to bow down, it's not so easy! ”

As he spoke, the steward came in with the books. Li Zhixuan looked at it, and suddenly raised his head and said to Li Jingyao: "Yao'er, you can also come and have a look." ”

Li Jingyao saw that her father's face was suddenly ugly, walked over nervously, flipped through a few pages, and exclaimed, "What...... Why are the sales so bad this season! ”

"You don't care about sales now, but you're still in charge of design." Li Zhixuan said coldly: "Although you married the Ma family as a young grandmother, you are still the daughter of the Li family." ”

Since Li Jingyao followed Ma Jirong, she really rarely appeared in the store or workshop. She thought that with the century-old foundation of Si Zhenfang and its status in the jewelry industry in Minzhou, there was nothing to worry about.

However, the appearance of the Treasure Pavilion shattered her dream of hiding in the shadow of her ancestors and enjoying it.

Even if she hates Jingbao Pavilion now, she can only bow her head and lower her eyebrows and say yes, "My daughter will pay more attention to supervision in the future." ”

"The various sub-divisions will meet in the afternoon, so you should be ready." Li Zhixuan stood up, "Don't really let the Treasure Pavilion step on our heads at that time." ”

Because all the major merchants have done their best, the competition in this year's Qixi sales season is particularly fierce.

Since the beginning of July, Nguyen Minh Yu has been shuttling back and forth with various wine shops and teahouses, and he has been socializing. still often takes Li Jingshan with her.

After more than half a year of Li Mingyan's adjustment and teaching, Li Jingshan is now standing behind Ruan Mingyu, even if she is not introduced, she will no longer be mistaken for a singer and dancer who came to accompany the wine.

She is dressed elegantly, her makeup is simple, and there are not many accessories on her head, but she can always set off her quiet and elegant temperament just right. It is a well-matched effect at a glance, and such a delicate match must be made by someone who knows how to do it.

Tonight is Qixi Festival, and Ruan Mingyu is hosting a banquet for several officials of the Yamen at the Fuyun Building. Among them, Cui Tongzhi heard that at the township drinking party at the end of last year, the head of Cuiqiao girl was from Li Jingshan, and he called Li Jingshan a master.

Cui Tongzhi has been holding Cui Qiao for two years, and he still has affection for her. It's just that because of the pungent temperament of the original wife in the family, she has never dared to get rid of people. Later, Cui Qiao found a lover, and although Cui Tongzhi was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't bear to continue to delay others. Therefore, before Cuiqiao left Minzhou, he also sent a congratulatory gift to see him off.

Now I know that the head jewelry that is the icing on the cake for Cui Qiao at the village banquet is the masterpiece of the little girl in front of me, and I feel a lot of emotion for a while, and I want to salute Li Jingshan when I hold the wine glass.

Li Jingshan pushed it, but she had to accompany a few drinks. The colleagues and merchants here have all heard Cuiqiao's anecdote, and now they are grabbing a related person, which is naturally a joke and a toast. Someone even linked the order to a small wine glass.

It's a big deal about sales. Li Jingshan couldn't, so she had to drink all those wine glasses one by one, until her cheeks were crimson and her eyes were confused.

In the end, she didn't know how many glasses she had drunk, and when she was about to reach for the glass, she was stopped by a white and slender hand.

Ruan Mingyu picked up the wine glass and smiled at everyone: "The kindness of all the adults, this little girl has almost received it." With the amount of alcohol she has, she dares to come and toast you, which is really beyond her strength. Why don't you have a drink with you. With that, he raised his head and drank the wine from his glass.

Everyone made a lot of trouble, and now with Ruan Mingyu's words, they accepted it when they saw it, and finally let Li Jingshan go. She was now drunk and hazy, and could only try to hold on to her figure, not sliding under the table.

It was not clear when the party would end, but when she was a little sober, she was already in the carriage.

Ruan Mingyu saw her open eyes, helped her to sit upright, and sighed with a smile: "Awake? I didn't expect you little drunken cat to be so noisy. Well, let's take a sip of water. ”

Li Jingshan took it ignorantly, took a sip of the water cup, but did not put the cup down, but blocked half of her face, and stared at Ruan Mingyu with her eyes dripping from above the rim of the cup.

Ruan Mingyu asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Li Jingshan looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "You are so good-looking, very good-looking." ”

"......" Ruan Mingyu looked at her misty eyes and said speechlessly: "Ah Shan, are you drunk or awake?" ”

Li Jingshan seemed to be startled by his words, shook her head, and the water in her hand was also shaken out by her. Ruan Mingyu had to wipe it with a handkerchief, and said helplessly: "I'll sleep for a while before I wake up." ”

Li Jingshan looked at him again and said, "Young master, I performed very well tonight, I got the order, and I want to reward." ”

Ruan Mingyu saw that the crimson on her face had not receded, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which was a little more charming than her usual dignified, slightly drunk and coquettish and cute, and couldn't help laughing: "You little money slave, you don't forget to hold the money when you get drunk like this." Your dividends will not be less. ”

Li Jingshan shook her head, "I don't want dividends." ”

"Huh? So what do you want? ”

Li Jingshan looked at him fixedly, the mist in her eyes became thicker and thicker, gradually converging into soft, soft water waves, flashing in her eyes.

The water waves seemed to spread into Ruan Mingyu's heart, making him stunned for a moment, and his heart was also soft. He settled down, and just wanted to ask again, when he saw Li Jingshan suddenly laugh softly, and said, "I want you to reward me with a kiss." ”

"What do you want?" Ruan Mingyu's heart was shocked, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and he looked at Li Jingshan scrutinically.

Li Jingshan blinked her sparkling eyes and replied innocently, "Mother said that a child who does well can be rewarded with a kiss." ”

Ruan Mingyu smiled, it seems that she still hasn't woken up. He stood up and took her glass, "Okay." Then you go back and ask your mother to kiss ......"

"It's not. I want you to give. Li Jingshan shook her head seriously.

Ruan Mingyu was hit by her delicate appearance again, he had never found that girl so sultry, tonight her eyes, her voice, are like a kitten's soft, soft little paws, scratching his heart one by one.

He lifted his forehead and sighed helplessly, "Okay, come here, give you a kiss." ”

Li Jingshan immediately jumped up happily and walked over to him.

Ruan Mingyu watched her staggering over, only to feel that her mouth was dry, and she had to say something to distract herself, "Where does your mother usually kiss you?" Forehead, or face...... Hey, be careful! ”

At this moment, the carriage jolted, and Li Jingshan shook her body and pounced on Ruan Mingyu. Ruan Mingyu reached out to catch her. Li Jingshan's soft, soft and warm lips suddenly touched his lips!

Ruan Mingyu's eyes widened suddenly.

Soft, sweet, with a hint of wine, like a hearty fruit.

The wonderful touch only stayed on it for a moment, and then it quickly swept by, and as the inertia reached his ears, the voice with the smell of wine was as light as a sigh, "Ruan Mingyu, I like you." ”

Ruan Mingyu's heart seemed to be hit by these words, and it instantly tightened, and even his hands stiffened.

However, just as he wanted to help Li Jingshan up and ask clearly, his arm suddenly sank. When I looked closely, the girl's long eyelashes were lowered, her breathing was long, and she fell asleep again!

"Ah Shan...... Lai Ching Shan? Ruan Mingyu snorted lightly. He was responded to by a long snort.

Ruan Mingyu grinded his teeth secretly. This girl dared to finish teasing him, and she let it go!

He looked down at the man in his arms. Her wine halo has not dissipated, the natural pink is better than rouge, and her moist lips are like seductive, human cherry blossoms and peaches. Ruan Mingyu's throat moved, and his eyes became darker and darker.
