Chapter Seventy-Two: The Peacock
She pondered: "He came from the main store in Beijing, and he is indeed better than me in terms of qualifications and experience, and I think his design is quite exquisite." Even if I let him do this, it wouldn't hurt for me to learn from him for a few years. β
"Innocent!" Ruan Mingyu snorted, "After today's Buddha's Birthday sale, he will definitely be able to see the huge potential of the civilian market." If you do put him in the position of director, do you think he will still be able to let you stay in the workshop? You know, you created this market in the first place. β
"I don't make mistakes, and he can't catch me?" Li Jingshan also followed Ruan Mingyu's example, tilted her head and glanced at him: "Besides, I'm still your subordinate, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha." β
"You want to be beautiful." Ruan Mingyu looked at the playful smile with an innocent smile, and couldn't help but tap her forehead with his finger, "If he is in charge, he will be solely responsible for the proofing of the artwork of the workshop." When the time comes, if he presses your design draft and doesn't send it, or is picky in every way. I can't protect you. β
"After a few months and a half, if you don't have a new design draft, he can use that as an excuse to say that your design is not good. Bring you out of the Design Workshop. Ruan Mingyu smiled narrowly, "When the time comes, you really have to go with me to pick up customers." β
Li Jingshan nodded thoughtfully, I see.
"Even if he can tolerate you, Ding Mo will accept the planning of the civilian market. When he first arrived, he had to re-evaluate the market and customers, which took months or even a year. β
Ruan Mingyu winked at her, "How can it compare to the tacit understanding that we have been cooperating." β
This peacock with its tail raised to the sky will die if it is not discharged for a while!
Li Jingshan had a straight face and said seriously: "Thank you for the promotion of the young master, I will definitely work hard to fight for the position in charge." β
Ruan Mingyu hooked his lips, "But you did a good job at the sale of Buddha's Birthday this time." For the time being, he can't hold on to you anymore. He still has talent, and you have to use dim sum for the design of the New Year's sales season. β
"I'm very attentive every time, okay!" Li Jingshan was not convinced.
"Haha, yes. I was wrong. Our Li lady is clever and smart, and she is solemn and solemn. Under disrespect. β
Ruan Mingyu laughed, looked at the sunset in the west, stood up, and stretched out his hand to pull her, "Okay, I'll send you back to Daguan Temple, it's almost time to close the stall over there, you have been on a mission for half a day, you have to go back to cover up." β
Poof, it's still cover-up, is it really like stealing, love, my young master.
However, Li Jingshan still obediently put her hand into his palm and stood up with his strength. The warmth of the warm and dry palm warmed her heart.
Two horses, one flower and one red, walked side by side towards the mountain, leaving a pair of figures side by side in the setting sun.

After the Buddha's birthday, Ding Mo really stopped, and spent a lot of effort studying gilt and crystal inlay. When he encountered a problem, he was embarrassed to find Li Jingshan, but he played a trick and asked Lan Yu.
Lan Yu has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and now he has gained a firm foothold in the Jingbao Pavilion with the sales volume of jade pendants in the Mid-Autumn Festival sales season. Therefore, unlike Ding Mo, he is eager to get on the throne.
And he was grateful to Li Jingshan for giving him a good drawing, and he also reciprocated, occasionally pointing out Li Jingshan's jade carving skills. Ding Mo saw this point and asked Lan Yu for it.
Lan Yu played with the long-handled carving knife in his hand, the slender and sharp blade roamed around his fingertips, and he looked up and said, "Brother Ding, if you have any questions, just ask Miss Li directly, why do you want me to be this middleman?" β
Ding Mo plucked the tea lid and said, "Didn't Brother Lan teach that female doll carver recently, I thought she would also talk to you politely, so I came to ask you first." β
"I don't make gold and silverware, so naturally I don't pay attention to that." Lan Yu ignored his provocation and said lightly: "Li Yatou is not the kind of person who hides his secrets. You can ask her yourself. β
"Hmph, it's just two artworks, and you were completely bought? Don't ask, forget it! Ding Mo got up to leave.
"Hey, I didn't say no. Your little brother is not very old, and his temper is not small. Lan Yu stopped Ding Mo and said helplessly: "What questions do you want to ask, tell me carefully, I'll ask you." β
When Li Jingshan heard these questions asked by Lan Yu, her heart was clear. But I didn't know what to do, carefully explained the trick and method to Lan Yu, and finally said: "If you have any doubts, just mention it, the little woman knows everything, and she has no end to it." Skills can only be continuously improved and developed in the application and exchange. Otherwise, it will slowly die out. β
She smiled faintly, "I also hope that the gilding technique will be carried forward, no matter who is in the hands; Instead of holding it tightly in my hands and slowly withering in the end. β
Lan Yu didn't expect that Li Jingshan had a deep understanding of the inheritance of skills at a young age. gave her a thumbs up, "Miss Li can have such a bold mind, and she will have a bright future in the future!" β
Li Jingshan smiled modestly: "Master Lan, don't lift me up." He curtsied and went to his own business.
Lan Yu touched the sparse beard under his chin, looked at the slender back thoughtfully, and muttered for a while, "The young owner really has a good eye, and he can't accept it!" β
After that, Ding Mo listened to Lan Yu's evaluation, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything. But he didn't bother Lan Yu about asking about the gilding process.
Later, Lan Yu was in the workshop and accidentally saw Ding Mo and Li Jingshan discussing the process flow, although the dispute was inextricable, it was harmless. He shook his head and smiled. This Ding Mo is also a seven-and-a-half-year-old duck - with a hard mouth.
That's an afterword.

Li Jingshan got off work today, went to the market to buy some food and pastries, and then hurried home - today is the day Li Jingjue returned home from Zhenxue.
Originally, even if the students who lived in the school were allowed to go home when they were off every 10 days. Li Jingjue is a studious, but she thinks that there is no one in the library during the mid-month break, so she can read and copy books quietly, so she often only comes back once a month.
I finally came back today, and Li Jingshan had to hurry up and spoil him, so he collected all the things he liked to eat and brought them home.
Sure enough, as soon as she got home, a black shadow appeared in the house, shouting "sister" and hugging her.
Li Jingshan's hands were full of things, so she had to open her arms and let him hold them, and said with a smile: "How old are you, and you love to be coquettish so much." β
Li Jingjue got tired of it for a while, and let go of her hand to help her sister take something, "How old are you my sister!" I'm smaller than you and can be spoiled. β
Mrs. Li came out of the house, looked at his righteous appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "It's almost as tall as your sister, and she looks like a child." Come here, it's time to make you new clothes. β
Li Jingshan took the time to look at her younger brother.
Sure enough, Li Jingjue turned thirteen years old and began to smoke strips, and she grew rapidly. Now that he was about as tall as her, he began to pour his throat, and when he looked closely at his neck, the Adam's apple was already loomingβlike a young man!
Li Jingjue waved her hand and said, "Those things are not in a hurry, let's look at the things I brought to you first." Sister, come! β
"Bring us something?"
As he spoke, he pulled Li Jingshan into the house, and explained excitedly, "I can make money by copying books and sorting out books in Zhenxue." Well, after two months of work, I've finally saved enough money to buy you gifts! β
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was filled with joy and sorrow, and reached out to touch Li Jingjue's head, but she felt that it was inappropriate again, so she put her hand on his shoulder instead, and choked up before she could speak, "My son, my son has really grown up......"
Li Jingshan's eyes were also slightly wet. The little brother's fists are so warm that they can burn her eyes. She blinked quickly and said with a smile, "Come and see, what is the first money we earned Jue'er bought?" β
Li Jingjue took out a large bag of wolfberries from the package, "This is for my mother." My mother does needlework every day, and she must take good care of her eyes. β
Mrs. Li took it with a smile, turned around and quietly wiped her eyes.
"Mother, don't be reluctant to eat, spoil a piece of my little brother's heart." Li Jingshan was afraid that Mrs. Li would cherish it, so she was busy helping beside her.
"That's it, I'll buy it for you when you're done." Li Jingjue said, buried her head and took out another book and handed it to Li Jingshan.
"This is what I found when I was sorting out the library of Xuanxue." Li Jingjue said as if offering a treasure, "It is said to be a lone book." I thought you would like it, so I quietly copied a copy and brought it back to you. β
Li Jingshan saw that on the clean and neat thread-bound book cover, there was Li Jingjue's vigorous handwriting "The Legend of the Blue Sea".
"......" Li Jingshan was speechless for a moment, and said, "You gave me a legend?" Let me see a love legend? β
"It's not. Although the story is also quite good. Li Jingjue pointed to the book and said, "Although this book is about the stories of the immortals, there are many detailed descriptions of costume jewelry in it, which are very exquisite. It's vivid to read. β
He took the book, turned a few pages, and pointed it out to Li Jingshan, "For example, here, the hair ornament that describes the fairy - 'the golden butterfly on his head flutters slightly with the colorful light of the clouds'." It's desirable to think about it. β
Li Jingshan smiled helplessly, "You also said that it was a decoration of the gods, where can mortals do it." β
"I'll show you something new." Li Jingjue argued, "Maybe, I can give you some inspiration in the future." β
Li Jingshan smiled and put away the book, "Okay! I'll thank you in advance. I'm sure I'll read it. β
Mrs. Li suddenly interjected, "Actually, maybe those decorations are not only for immortals. β
Li Jingshan turned her head, "Mother, how do you know?" β
Mrs. Li sat down and recalled, "Your father once told me that the previous dynasty produced many skilled craftsmen and created a prosperous era of craftsmanship. Many things and things that seem strange today have been produced under their hands. β
"What extremely thin and light cicada wing yarn, embroidered butterflies and birds that can move on the fabric, petals that open and close with the light and shade, and so on." Mrs. Li said, also showing a yearning look, "It sounds like a fairy's spell." β
"And what about later? Why not? "Li Jingjue is diligent and inquisitive.
