Ruan Mingyu smiled evilly again: "The thank you gift I want is very expensive." You'll answer when you've thought about it. ”

Li Jingshan's heartbeat skipped a beat, and she replied in a daze, "Huh? What do you want? ”

Ruan Mingyu was close to Li Jingshan, so close that she could see her small figure in his inky black pupils, and the breath of her breath slightly blew the hair on Li Jingshan's sideburns. Li Jingshan's heart involuntarily pounded. She could feel her face burning.

Then, she heard him say softly but firmly: "I want your 'Shan' brand as the signboard of the gilt jewelry of the Jingbao Pavilion!" ”

Li Jingshan's eyes shrank, one of her hearts slammed to the ground, and the blood on her face quickly receded.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the self-deprecation in her heart, and said as calmly as possible: "But I have agreed to give up the gilding process." You can create your own gilt brand, so why should I do this? ”

Ruan Mingyu sat upright, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he was full of pride, "Because your 'Shan' is the first gilt medal." And you've opened up a market and cultivated a customer base. These are much more advantageous than rebranding. ”

He casually moved his hand with the fan out, and smiled steadily: "I plan to talk to Uncle He in two days, his workshop is the birthplace of 'Shan'." ”

-----

However, this gilt dispute has brought Si Zhenfang a big and troublesome thing.

After returning from the official office, Li Zhixuan lowered his head and took his daughter into the Li ancestral hall. He looked down at his daughter who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on with the gilt jewelry?" ”

Li Jingyao lowered her head and muttered: "Those ornaments are Li Jingshan's jewelry confiscated by the government. I've been accompanying Brother Ji recently, and the work in the workshop has not been completed, so I use these jewelry to pay for the errand. ”

"What? You know that those jewelry are not pure gold," Li Zhixuan's face turned pale, and he slapped the table, "Why are these nameplates marked with pure gold?" Or sell it as pure gold jewelry? ”

Li Jingyao whispered, "Those are...... I asked the people in the workshop to add it. These ornaments are no different from real gold, and I don't think ordinary people can recognize them, so they ......."

Li Zhixuan flicked his sleeves, raised his hand and was about to hit Li Jingyao in the face: "You! You're such a fool! Are you going to smash the signboard of our company's treasure! ”

Li Jingyao was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, crying and hugging Li Zhixuan's legs. The slap won't go down.

Li Jingyao cried: "Father, father! You go and ask Master Ma, he will have a way to save the reputation of our Si Zhenfang. He will definitely help us. ”

Li Zhixuan thought for a long time and sighed gloomily, "You still have two months to go." Let's do your marriage with Ma Gongzi as soon as possible. ”

When Li Jingyao heard this, she nodded busily, with a hint of longing in her eyes. She didn't see the deep worry in her father's eyes.

Now they are in a hurry to marry their daughter, not to mention how much dowry they have accompanied, but they are afraid that Li Jingyao will be crushed in the Ma family because of this incident in the future.

Li Zhixuan looked at his daughter's smug face, and comforted himself, Yao'er's personality is strong and resolute, and she should not be bullied.

So it was just night, and Li Zhixuan took a set of pure gold head noodles and knocked on the door of the Ma County Order with Li Jingyao.

"Hmph, what you have done today is all a stupid trick! But a little girl, she actually fell so many tricks in her hands, you even pulled her father into the water back then, but now you are so careless! Didn't you say that they were orphans and widows, and that they had nothing to fear? Ma Xian Ling flicked his sleeves.

Li Zhixuan bent down and whispered, "Yes." It was the grass people who were negligent. That girl was also lucky, and found the Jingbao Pavilion to support her, otherwise she wouldn't be crazy. ”

"That's what business is all about. Local merchants, I can help you suppress everything. Ma Xian Ling said with a calm face: "People come from the capital, my hand can't be stretched so long." You can fight for yourself. ”

"The grass people understand." Li Zhixuan muttered: "The century-old foundation of Si Zhenfang is not something they have just come to and said they would pry. You can rest assured of this. ”

He opened the jewelry brocade box and said with a smile: "Yao'er and Ling Lang have been in love for a long time, and now Yao'er will also reach the age of Jilu." You see, whether to let the two of them decide on the kiss first. ”

Ma Xian Ling glanced at the golden head, his face softened slightly, and nodded: "I'll let the housekeeper come to your house to place an order on a certain day." ”

Li Zhixuan was overjoyed and retired with a lot of gratitude.

Ma Xian Ling watched him withdraw, and then picked up the golden head and looked at it carefully. Banyu put the head back into the brocade box and snorted, "This handiwork is really not as fine as Li Zhiyuan's back then." Si Zhenfang's generation is not as good as the generation. ”

------

In the courtyard of the Ruan family, the crescent moon showed half of her face on the window lattice of Li Jingshan's house. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. What flickered in front of her was Young Master Ruan's bewitching face: for a while, a hippie smiling face was bargaining with her, a moment was a casual and frenzied block villains for her, and a moment was a gentle and gentle court ......

Every face made her cheeks burn. Even that evil and evil smile has become a charm for the dead.

She pulled out the pearl-encrusted button from the inner pocket, and the unique luster of the pearl shell was beautiful in the moonlight. She flipped the button over and over for a long time, and finally covered her face with her hand and let out a lament.

She knew that she was finished, and a heart had fallen......

A few days later, in the side hall of the account room in the backyard of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, Li Jingshan showed Ruan Mingyu a sketch of the mercury workshop.

"The gilding process is not difficult, the refining of mercury is the key, and the key to refining mercury is anti-poison. This is a workshop for refining mercury. Sealing the refining process to prevent mercury vapor leakage is the first priority. ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at the sketch for a long time, looked up and asked, "I have a question." ”

"Speak, please."

"Where did you get all that mercury you used in the first place?"

Li Jingshan's face turned red, and she said weakly: "Yes...... It was made in the kitchen of the annex courtyard......"

"......" Ruan Mingyu was speechless. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of poisoning the whole hospital?" ”

Li Jingshan said in a low voice: "I'm afraid." So I only dare to refine a little bit. If it's poisoned, that amount can only poison me......"

She felt that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and she was busy opening the topic, "If you build a workshop and do a good job of airtight equipment, you will have no worries." Moreover, my tools are rudimentary, and I can only refine them from expensive cinnabar. In the workshop, cinnabar ore can be used as raw materials, and the cost can be greatly reduced! ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at her bright expression, and no longer teased him, rolled up the sketch, and immediately clapped: "Okay." I'll be in charge of the workshop construction. You've recently designed a few sets of jewelry for me to see. ”

He knocked Li Jingshan's head with a sketch rolled into a paper tube, and said with a smile, "I recruited a jewelry craftsman, not a clay leg to build a house." ”

Li Jing Shanqi said: "Isn't the jewelry I designed on the counter of your Treasure Pavilion?" ”

The confiscated jewellery that was recovered from Si Zhen Fang is now on the counter of the Treasure Pavilion and sold as an independent "Shan" series of gilt jewelry, and it is said that the sales are good.

Ruan Mingyu waved his hand, "What I want to see is not something glittering. ”

He approached Li Jingshan, so close that Li Jingshan's heart beat faster, barely maintaining the composure on his face, and just about to ask him what he wanted, his slender fingers rubbed her cheek and gently touched her earrings, and chuckled: "I want to see you like this." ”

Half of Lai's face turned red visibly to the naked eye. What she is wearing today is the pair of silver five-petal plum blossom inlaid acacia red bean earrings.

"I've seen this fancy at Zhen'er before, and now that I think about it, she also got it from you, right?" Ruan Mingyu seemed to be blind to the crimson cheeks, still smiling a little casually, and said casually.

Li Jingshan forced herself to come back to her senses quickly, and responded: "This kind of design doesn't seem to be pleasing, why does the young master want this type of jewelry?" ”

"Wrong. It's not that this kind of jewelry is not pleasing. Rather, because you did it, it is not pleasing. Ruan Mingyu picked the corner of his eye, and his smile became even more cynical.

Before Li Jingshan showed her indignation, she added: "You have no background, no scale, no fame, so people don't buy your account." But if it is placed in the Treasure Pavilion, people's attitudes will be different. At least, it won't be so simply refused. ”

Li Jingshan's eyes began to shine, and she understood what the soft young master meant. People have different attitudes towards nobody's design and the brand of big merchants.

Just like in modern times, the same design of a migrant bag is sold in the trading market, and it is the same as selling it in a V store, and the price is the same as that of one heaven and one underground.

It's just that...... Trying new things always involves a certain amount of risk, why did Young Master Ruan choose this path? Wouldn't it be easier to run the Jingbao Pavilion according to the original routine?

Ruan Mingyu's smile became high-spirited, "Minzhou's high-end jewelry market is occupied by Si Zhenfang, and it is difficult to break this pattern. And most ordinary people can't afford these high-end jewelry. If this market can be developed by Jingbaoge, its profits will not be less than that of the high-end market. Why should I give it a try? And,"

He raised his eyebrows, and smiled evilly, "Dare to be the first in the world, challenge the impossible, this is my Ruan Sanshao's style." ”

Ruan Mingyu's words coincide with Li Jingshan's idea of promoting jewelry to the general public! Now, Jingbao Pavilion can provide her with a platform to upgrade her work, so that her original design intention can be realized!

Her face turned red again - this time from excitement. Huanxi said: "Yes! I'll draw a set of design patterns for you! She blessed Young Master Ruan, and walked out of the side hall like a gust of wind.

Ruan Mingyu looked at her slender figure, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose upward: Daughter of the Li family, I will wait and see, what kind of surprise can you give me.
