This conference is not only to elect the leaders of the Minzhou Jewelry Guild, but also a great opportunity for each store to promote their own jewelry and improve their prestige. Therefore, each jewelry store has come up with its own housekeeping skills and worked hard to produce this set of entries.

Li Jingshan also settled down to prepare for this work, she discussed with Ding Mo and Lan Yu many times, and finally settled on a set of head and face designs with a hundred flowers competing for spring patterns.

This set of design has been made of gold and silver, combined with a variety of handicrafts such as tired silk, inlaid treasure, carving, etc., using the best raw materials, ready to complete the main part in half a month.

Even Ding Mo and Lan Yu gave a thumbs up after seeing the design: "This pattern design, even if you go to the headquarters in the capital, is top-notch." ”

Li Jingshan smiled embarrassedly, and said: "The little girl's craftsmanship is insufficient, and she has to worry about the two masters to take care of many meticulous handicrafts. ”

"No problem!" Ding Mo is now the head of the design workshop, and it is much more pleasing to see Li Jingshan, and this competition is related to the reputation of Jingbao Pavilion, he can still distinguish the priority.

He immediately agreed: "I'll take a look at the flow chart later, and divide the processes inside." It won't embarrass you. ”

Li Jingshan got up and thanked her. After the agreed matter left the side hall, Li Jingshan saw that it was almost noon, and with a limp on her heels, she decided to go home to have lunch with her mother first. saw Li Zhang waiting at the door of his house.

"Brother Li," Li Jingshan greeted with a smile, "but is there something wrong with me?"

In front of Li Jingshan, Li Zhang was still restrained. smiled honestly and handed over the bamboo basket in his hand, "This is the spring ball made by my mother, and I put the sesame stuffing you like." She asked me to bring a few for you to taste. ”

"Ah, the eldest lady has a heart!" Li Jingshan happily took it and let Li Zhang go to the courtyard, "It's almost noon, come in and have lunch before leaving."

Li Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself, "No, no, no." I'll just go to the cafeteria later. ”

"It's rare to come to eat a home-cooked meal, so why bother to eat in the cafeteria every day." Li Jingshan said with a smile.

Li Zhang looked at her smile and turned his gaze to the side uncomfortably, "I'm here today, and I have news for you," he crushed the branch on the ground with his toes, "...... The family told me about a family matter, and it was a girl from the Liu family in the same place. ”

"Really!? Congratulations, big brother! Li Jingshan slapped her hand and said happily: "But if you want to find an opportunity to take me to get to know me, I also have to give my sister-in-law a face...... Has the day of the prayer been set? ”

"Not so fast," Li Zhang saw that her joy did not seem to be fake, sighed in his heart, and said, "It must be after the autumn harvest." ”

"Oh, it's good that it can be done in a grand way." What Li Jingshan thought in her heart was that she was afraid that she was already in Beijing at that time and could not participate.

However, the matter of training in Beijing was only mentioned privately by Young Master Ruan, and there was no official news from Jingbao Pavilion. So Li Jingshan didn't tell anyone.

She only smiled faintly: "Even so, I won't leave you to eat at home." Remember to take your sister-in-law over to see the style. ”

Li Zhang is a person who will have a family, and now there are only his mother and his two daughters in the family, so he naturally wants to avoid suspicion.

Of course, Li Zhang's eyes darkened again, nodded in response, and turned around and walked towards the Jingbao Pavilion.

Li Jingshan returned to the house, found the white fox fur, and touched the soft fur and felt slightly loose. This hot fur finally has a chance to be returned.

Li Zhang didn't have lunch at Jingbao Pavilion, but went home and went back to Aunt Li. He saw Li Xiaomei talking to a woman in makeup under the tree from a distance, and when he looked closely, it was Li Jingyao.

Li Jingyao also saw him, said a few more words to her sister, and then hurriedly turned around and left, and when she passed by him, she smiled awkwardly at him for the first time.

Li Zhang entered the courtyard, stood on the edge of the patio and scooped water to wash his face, and when his sister tried to sneak away from him, he asked in a deep voice, "What did the second lady of the Li family do with you just now?" ”

"Huh? It's nothing...... I, I asked Miss Er about this year's new jewelry. Li Xiaomei put her hands behind her back, her eyes flashing.

"What's hidden behind your back?" Li Zhang straightened up, and the drops of water on his face flowed through his cold eyebrows.

Li Xiaomei stretched out her hand and showed her brother a peach blossom inlaid treasure golden hairpin, "Oh, she showed me the new style." I, I borrowed a pattern and wanted to make a similar one myself. ”

Li Zhang knew that this sister liked jewelry, and usually drew some styles by herself, and took the private money to make a hairpin bracelet, he looked at the golden hairpin, nodded and said, "Let's go in and eat, my mother called someone in the room just now." ”

"Hey, come on." Li Xiaomei put away the golden hairpin, bit her lip, and followed.

-----

In the blink of an eye, it is late February, and more than half of the participating ornaments of the Treasure Pavilion have been completed, and Li Jingshan is monitoring the progress and reviewing the process in the design workshop every day, and the two stewards Ding Mo and Lan Yu are also personally involved in creating the detailed parts. Watching this set of 36 pieces of head and face jewelry slowly take shape under her hands, Li Jingshan once again felt the joy of her father's once said that beautiful works of art were born under her hands.

Indeed, the process of creating beauty is more gratifying than owning them.

On this day, she was drawing a gold and gold circle in the jewelry in her own compartment in the design workshop, when she heard someone outside looking for her: "Sister Li, are you there?" Listening to the voice, it was Li Xiaomei.

Li Jingshan hurriedly greeted her, and saw that there was a girl standing next to Li Xiaomei, with gentle eyebrows, but with a hint of the caution of a small jasper.

She guessed a few points, stepped forward and took Li Xiaomei's hand, "Are you free to come to me today, or ......" smiled and glanced at the girl, and said, "Come to find your brother?" ”

Li Xiaomei also smiled: "Naturally, I came to find you, this is Sister Liu Qiaohui Liu, who is married to my brother." She was going to marry my brother at the end of the year, and my brother asked me to take her to the Jingbao Pavilion and choose a few pieces of jewelry for her dowry. ”

Li Jingshan hurriedly greeted Liu Qiaohui, and with her eyes in the shopping mall, she knew that this girl was a woman who took care of her family and was already a husband.

I liked her a little more, and Li Jingshan smiled and led them to the Accord on the second floor of the store, "It should be." Miss Liu is also my future sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law should send a congratulatory gift to my sister-in-law. I took you up to see the album, and when I saw that I liked the style, I created a pair myself, and I added makeup to my sister's wedding at that time. ”

Liu Qiaohui is just the daughter of a farmer in the market, and her usual jewelry is just a pendant in Spider Alley, and she has never been to such a luxurious private room, and she is so nervous that she doesn't know how to put it.

Li Jingshan made tea for them, accompanied Miss Liu to explain each style of jewelry, as well as the characteristics, after a while, Liu Qiaohui relaxed, quietly flipped through the jewelry album.

Li Xiaomei also sat aside, and after a while, she became impatient, and said to Li Jingshan: "I'll go to the shop below, and you will accompany Sister Liu." ”

Li Jingshan smiled and responded: "You go, if you like something, ask the guy to bring it to you, and let them record it in my account." ”

Li Xiaomei cheered and jumped downstairs.

Li Jingshan accompanied Miss Liu for half an hour before finally deciding on the jewelry set. Li Jingshan also promised to wait for you to end the competition and immediately create this set of wedding faces for her, "I promise to make my sister the most beautiful bride!" ”

Liu Qiaohui blushed from being teased, and said with a shy smile: "I heard Brother Li say that your sister is more reliable than his own sister, and now it seems that this is really the case." ”

The two laughed and went downstairs, and happened to see Li Xiaomei coming out of the backyard. Seeing the two of them, the panic in her eyes flashed, and she quickly greeted her and smiled: "Has Sister Liu made a good choice?" Then let's not bother Sister Li. ”

Li Jing Shanqi said: "You are picking up jewelry in the shop downstairs, how did you pick up the backyard?" If you don't have a favorite in the store, do you have to go to the workshop to find it? ”

"Where, I was tired of looking down there, so I wandered around the store and accidentally walked to the back." Li Xiaomei forced a smile, "I know you're busy, let's go back first." After that, he pulled Liu Qiaohui to say goodbye in a hurry, and left the Jingbao Pavilion.

Lai Ching Shan returned to the workshop and resumed the work she had just interrupted. She looked at the design drawings on the desk, there seemed to be traces of turning, and she only thought that Ding Mo or Lan Yu came over to check the progress, and she didn't care.

It wasn't until the afternoon when she got off work that the guy at the counter came in with a bag of jewelry and told her: "The little girl of the Li family picked it up on the counter today and forgot to take it away, what do you think of this ......?" ”

Li Jingshan took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Give it to me, I'll send it to her after I leave work later." I've got the jewelry on my account, and she didn't pay for it, right? ”

"Nope. Remember as you tell me. The man replied and went out to work.

Li Jingshan looked at the sky and decided to send these jewelry to the Li family first, and the finishing work could be done later.

When she walked near the Li family's compound, the afterglow on the horizon had not yet dissipated. The daylight shone on the mottled stone wall, stretching the two figures hiding behind the wall for a long time.

Li Jingshan saw the two figures from a distance, and the one in the flower dress was Li Xiaomei, who went to Jingbao Pavilion to find her today. The figure beside her was not easy to see, but it was also a familiar figure. She stopped, her eyes widening wider, and slowly clenched the bag of jewelry in her hand.

When the two left, she immediately turned around and went back to Jingbao Pavilion, while looking at her design draft, she asked the guy on duty, "Has the girl of the Li family entered my design room today?" ”

"I've been in, and it's like something has fallen into the house. I haven't noticed how long I've been in. ”

Li Jingshan stopped what she was doing and sat quietly in her chair thinking. It wasn't until the crescent moon climbed the treetops that she got up and took the design draft into the side hall of the account room to find Ruan Mingyu......

It wasn't until the middle of the moon that Li Jingshan came out of the hall.

She walked to the door and suddenly heard Ruan Mingyu calling her behind her, "Ah Shan, do you really want to use such a method?" If you want, we can take it to court and get it back. ”

Li Jingshan shook her head calmly, "Things are not necessarily, maybe it is not what we think." Even if it's ...... Maybe it's just a moment of confusion, and I don't want to push her into a corner. ”

Ruan Mingyu was silent for a long time and sneered, "You, I really don't know where these useless goodness come from. ”

He also stood up and picked up his coat, "Let's go, I'll send you." ”

Li Jingshan glared at him, embarrassed to say: My house is just across the wall of the Jingbao Pavilion, what is there to give. However, he obediently followed him out, and there was a warm sweetness in his heart.
