Ruan Mingyu also looked at Li Jingshan, and secretly hoped that the other party could give him a step to break this embarrassment, at least he could talk to her well in the last two days.

Li Jingshan really hesitated slightly, "I went to Beijing this time, and the time is not short, and the younger brother does not come back often in the school. Mother is lonely at home by herself...... I want her to move back to another courtyard so that she can be a companion with Zhang's sister-in-law Fubo. Ask for the young master's permission. ”

Ruan Mingyu sighed secretly in his heart, but deliberately said with a straight face, "You have forgotten that you just offended the young master." What if I don't agree? ”

"I have sinned against you because of my own affairs. Now I am invited to make a request as an employee of Jingbao Pavilion because of tolerance. Li Jingshan said coldly, "I believe that the young owner has a clear distinction between public and private, and will not be confused." ”

Yo, even the title has changed, not "young master", but "young owner".

Ruan Mingyu was angry, and said coldly, "If I say, I won't even allow you to go to the capital?" ”

Li Jingshan looked up at him, and there were two small flames in her eyes, "Why don't you let me go?" You just want a canary? So what's the difference between me and that Jane? ”

Ruan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart lit up, and he was suddenly relieved. Yes, if he tied him up in the backyard of Minzhou, what is the difference between Li Jingshan's value and Zhen'er who was expelled from the other courtyard by him back then? !

The woman he wants has never been a delicate flower clinging to him like a soft vine. Now it's easy to find this woman who is as tough as a mountain pine, and she can become a phoenix that soars for nine days, why do you have to turn people into canaries?

If that's the case, it's really a terrible thing!

Although he figured it out, Young Master Ruan had never been angry with a woman, and his face was quite unbearable. He snorted coldly, "Canary? I think it's just a little sparrow—you can go to find Faber and tell him. ”

After thinking about it, he made up for it: "Such a trivial matter, don't bother me in the future." ”

Li Jingshan had already figured out his temperament and knew that he was just a dead duck with a hard mouth, so she agreed. didn't care about his stinky temper, and saluted dignifiedly, "Thank you, young owner." And he turned and went out.

Ruan Mingyu was left looking at her back and straight luck: This girl really kicked her nose in the face, thank you so insincerely!

-----

Chang Yong and the others set a date to set off for the next location on April 22. Ruan Minh Yu was in charge, and on the evening of April 20, he set them off with wine, leaving a day for them to rest in Minzhou before setting off.

He smiled: "The pear blossom spring sent by Uncle Chang hasn't had time to open the seal yet, so you are in a hurry to leave." At night, you have to get drunk with your nephew before resting. ”

Chang Yong also smiled: "How can you be virtuous with your eldest brother, why don't you learn to respect your second brother." ”

Ruan Mingyu smiled and said: "Don't mention my second brother, the eldest brother and my style are the old man-who doesn't know that you are not drunk in a thousand cups in the Jingbao Pavilion." ”

Chang Yong's alcohol consumption is indeed well-known, so he also went with him with a smile.

The send-off banquet was still held in Baiyun Tower, and Li Jingshan was still in charge of Zhang Luo, but it was much more lively than the reception banquet.

According to Ruan Mingyu's wishes, in addition to arranging for the steward of the store to attend as an accompaniment, Li Jingshan also opened a private room, and invited the two dart masters and two attendants who came with the bookkeepers to sit at the table, and also arranged for someone to accompany them.

Ruan Mingyu also took out the pear blossom spring wine sent by Chang Yong and opened two jars. Everyone drank to the delight of the guests and hosts.

Chang Yong was slightly drunk, but his expression was extremely clear, and he raised his glass and praised: "I have checked the accounts for many years, and I can also see some doorways. In just over two years, Sanshao's branch has been able to operate on such a large scale and make huge profits, which is really rare in my life! I'll report it truthfully when I go back. The great treasurer of Ruan will also be very happy. ”

For ordinary people, these words only feel like a compliment, but if anyone who knows the inside of the Jingbao Pavilion knows that Ruan's shopkeeper has retired in recent years. These words will be heard in the ears of those who have a heart, and they are implying in and out of the words that Ruan Mingyu has great hope of taking over the position of the big treasurer.

Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses and congratulated again.

Li Jingshan accompanied two glasses, and because she wanted to take care of the other banquet in the private room next to her, she got up to confess and went next door. Chang Yong looked at the opportunity and followed.

So Li Jingshan finished toasting next door, and when she was walking to the meeting, she met Chang San's shopkeeper who was waiting on the side in the aisle.

"Miss Li, please stay, can you listen to the next chatter."

Li Jingshan looked left and right, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper should be taught face-to-face, and his subordinates will naturally listen to him." ”

Miss Li teased. Chang Yong shook his head and smiled, "If you don't think I'm offended, just like Young Master Ruan, call me Uncle Chang, and it will be easy to communicate on the road in the future." ”

"Thank you Uncle Chang for your love, you can also call me Ah Shan." Li Jingshan is as good as a stream, "If there is anything you command." ”

"In the past few days, I have checked the accounts in the store, and I have heard about your contribution to Jingbao Pavilion, it is rare that you have done such a thing at a young age, it is really terrifying." Chang Yong smiled and said, "It's no wonder that Ruan Sanshao's sincerity is valued and regarded as his right-hand man." ”

Li Jingshan looked at the young age, and she had lived two lives before and after, and she still had the eyesight to hear and discern. smiled at the moment: "I am young and ignorant, if there is something that is not enough, please say it directly." It would be a blessing for me if I could receive your teachings. ”

Chang Yong saw that she was honest, and he stopped beating around the bend at the moment, and said in a softened tone: "When Ruan Sanshao was in the capital, he was used to pleasing girls. And Miss Li is both talented and beautiful, and she often works with him, so it is inevitable that she will fall in love over time. The old man can understand this kind of young man's mood, but he ......"

He looked at Li Jingshan's eyes and said solemnly, "Since the girl has chosen to study in Beijing, I hope that in the future, I can focus on technical studies. ”

The relationship between Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu has not been mentioned to anyone, but they have not deliberately hidden anything. Even Li Sanniang could see it, so although she was surprised that Chang Yong could know about it, she didn't have too many scruples, just regarded it as a private matter between herself and Young Master Ruan.

Therefore, he responded with a generous smile: "Although Young Master Ruan and I love each other, it is not a personal relationship. It is far from the point where marriage is discussed. Therefore, Uncle Chang does not have to worry that I will abolish my public office for personal reasons. This is a rare opportunity to learn, and I will definitely cherish it. ”

Chang Yong knew that Li Jingshan had misunderstood what he meant, and it seemed that things were not as he thought before - these two people actually loved each other?!

He stretched out his hand to the side and made a gesture of invitation, "It seems that Miss Li doesn't know much about Jingbao Pavilion and the Ruan family, so it's better to sit down in the elegant seat next to you and listen to what the old man said to you." ”

Li Jingshan glanced at Chang Yong suspiciously, and ordered someone to make a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and then sat down opposite him.

Chang Yong praised the girl's thoughtfulness even more. He took the tea that Li Jingshan had made for him, but he didn't put it to his lips and began to talk about it.

Jingbao Pavilion is also a century-old store in the capital, and it has taken root in the capital since the previous dynasty. So far, there have been more than ten generations of heads, all of whom are descendants of the Ruan family.

So far, it has developed into nine branches in five provinces, and it is also one of the best merchants in the jewelry industry in Beijing. It's just that Jingbao Pavilion also went through several ups and downs back then, especially when the dynasty was changed, it was also difficult. It was not until after the founding of the Dalang Dynasty that the Ruan family re-emerged with the accumulation of several generations and exquisite craftsmanship.

During the reign of Dezong of the Dalang Dynasty, it happened to be the sixth generation of the head of the house. Nguyen Da's wife is also a master of making jewelry. At that time, Emperor Dezong was preparing to build the palace Si Zhen Fang, and the competition was between the Ruan family and the Li family.

Originally, the Ruan family was very sure of this honor. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Mrs. Ruan turned to Si Zhenfang and helped the Li family achieve the final victory.

Because of her betrayal, the Ruan family not only lost the honor of entering the palace, but also because she took away many exclusive skills, which caused the vitality of the Jingbao Pavilion to be greatly damaged, and the Ruan family was so angry that they couldn't afford to fall ill.

Li Jingshan heard the history of the Ruan family for the first time, and only then did she know that the Li family and the Ruan family still had such a festival. sighed, but Chang Yong was heartbroken because he was a member of the Li family.

couldn't help but defend with a little grievance: "Although I belong to the Li family of Si Zhenfang, my family is almost no different from being exiled because of my father's affairs. You can't get angry with me because my surname is Li. It's also too ......."

This is also unreasonable.

Chang Yong shook his head, "The grudge with the Li family has been more than a hundred years, and now even in the capital, the Ruan family and the Li family have already passed the moment of tension, so naturally it will not involve you." ”

Chang Yong raised his eyelids and looked at Li Jingshan, his eyes, which were usually slightly squinted, were completely opened, and the bottom of his eyes was full of light, "It's just that because of that Madam Ruan's betrayal, Jingbao Pavilion has set a rule since then." ”

Li Jingshan met that gaze, and suddenly realized something, and there was a chill behind her back, which was already crawling with cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and waited for Chang Yong to continue.

"All women who marry into the Ruan family, regardless of whether they are concubines or concubines, will never be able to contact jewelry-related businesses for the rest of their lives." Chang Yong stared at Li Jingshan like this, and slowly finished speaking, "Especially the woman in the big shopkeeper, she can't even touch her business." ”

Although she had expected it, when Chang Yong told the truth, Li Jingshan still felt that a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, which made her feel cold.

Under the turmoil in the heart, the head is rare and clear. She suddenly remembered the day Ruan Mingyu begged her to stay, not only did the guy want to trap her to be a canary, but even her flying wings had to be broken! It turns out that if she agrees, she can't even touch the jewelry design again!

Thinking of the situation that day, Li Jingshan almost sneered. It's a shame that the day before yesterday I said to him what kind of heart-wrenching words of "fly high with him and follow him into the sea".

It's funny, it turns out that people didn't leave this road at all and opened this door. It turned out that he was planning to make himself a real canary, a caged bird!
