Chapter Forty-Six: The Secret of the Reception
"What is the difference between the needs of the famous actors and those kabukis?" Ruan Mingyu asked casually.
Li Mingyan put down the wine glass and lowered her eyes, "If you are a servant, you have already put on heavy makeup on the stage, and the audience is becoming more and more plain, and they usually choose plain jewelry, but they pay great attention to handwork and materials." In the case of Kabuki, on the contrary, most people prefer colorful and eye-catching accessories. ”
sighed softly and said: "But the value of both of them depends on the pursuit of high-ranking officials and nobles, to put it bluntly, it is just a play and a thing in their hands." So it still depends on what the person behind them likes. ”
Jiang Yuelan smiled: "Sanniang's words are pertinent. Therefore, when the market is initially opened, it is necessary to take the customized route, so that the cost will not be low. Brother Ruan, you have to be ready. ”
Ruan Mingyu still smiled indifferently: "There is a reminder from Brother Lao Jiang." ”
Jiang Yuelan looked at his indifferent appearance and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Brother Ruan has already made a bamboo in his chest, and I just say a word in vain." ”
Li Mingyan also smiled: "If Ruan Gongzi doesn't even have this sense of risk, how dare he fight such a difficult battle?" ”
Li Jingshan's hand holding the wine jug paused slightly. Only then did she know what kind of risks and pressures Ruan Mingyu and Jingbao Pavilion were taking.
Ruan Mingyu glanced at Li Jingshan, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say." I've never fought battles that I'm not sure about, so don't worry! Moreover, aren't there two of them helping? ”
The three of them toasted each other for a round, Li Mingyan put down the cup and said with a smile, "Since Ruan Gongzi has started this, our Baoyun Building happens to have a business, and at the end of the year, I can't spare craftsmen to take over, why don't you ask the skilled craftsmen of Jingbao Pavilion to do a favor and take this list, how about it?" ”
She turned her head and smiled at Li Jingshan, "I can also explain to this sister, so I don't have to run back and forth for a second time." ”
Jiang Yuelan was puzzled: "What do you want to explain to her?" ”
Li Mingyan pursed her lips and smiled, "If I guessed correctly, this sister is the secret weapon that Ruan Shao said last time." I just didn't expect to be so young, it's really terrifying. ”
Jiang Yuelan choked on a sip of wine, coughed half to death, pointed at Ruan Mingyu and said, "Brother Ruan pits me!" Why don't you tell me this is your family's master craftsman? I was killed by you! ”
Jiang Yuelan hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Jingshan, "Fang Cai Xiaosheng's words Meng Lang are very offensive, and I ask Miss Li for forgiveness." ”
Li Jingshan was startled, hurriedly dodged sideways, and helped Jiang Yuelan from the side, "Jiang, Gong, and Zi don't need to be polite. The little girl can't afford it. ”
Ruan Mingyu leaned on the back of the chair and watched the show playfully for a long time, and then laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, you are too uplifting her." She's really a rough girl in my courtyard. ”
At this time, even Li Mingyan showed a confused look, and Ruan Mingyu said leisurely, "However, Sanniang still remember the sachet you gave us during the Dragon Boat Festival?" That's what this girl designed. ”
Li Mingyan and Jiang Yuelan really showed surprise, and they all bowed their hands and said "disrespectful", Li Jingshan had to return the salute again, and said shyly: "Don't torture me, two shopkeepers, those are just small skills of carving insects, and it is difficult to enter everyone's eyes." ”
Jiang Yuelan raised her glass and saluted Li Mingyan, "But Sanniang came later than me, how did you see that this Li girl has a unique skill?" ”
Before Li Mingyan could answer, Ruan Mingyu had already responded with a smile: "Brother Jiang, Sanniang's discerning eyes are comparable to you and me?" You know, you are a young owner, and she is the big shopkeeper! ”
Li Jingshan thought about it, it was really like this, Jiang Yuelan was a rich second generation who inherited the family business, and Li Mingyan was the chairman of the board of directors who struggled by himself!
Sure enough, Jiang Yuelan pointed at Ruan Mingyu and said unconvinced: "Brother Ruan stumbled me!" Penalty for drinking, punishment for drinking! ”
Ruan Mingyu picked up the wine glass with a smile, and Li Jingshan hurriedly went over to fill it for him.
A few people laughed for a while, and then returned to the topic, Ruan Mingyu asked Li Mingyan: "Sanniang just said that there is a business that has changed hands, and the younger brother is still listening." ”
Li Mingyan sat upright with the shawl, and said: "Master Cui Zhishu of Minzhou Mansion is the same as Cui Zhishu, and the popular singer Cuiqiao girl who holds Baihualou." And Miss Cuiqiao recently ordered a set of noodles in my pavilion to be used at the church meeting in Layue. Because of the tight schedule, I can't spare manpower on my side. I wonder if Young Master Ruan is willing to accept it? ”
"This is Sanniang's food, why don't you want to!" Ruan Mingyu turned his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's just, such a big thing, I don't know what conditions Sanniang has?" ”
Li Mingyan covered her mouth with a fan and smiled: "Ruan Sanshao is really refreshing!" Because Cuiqiao is an order placed in my store, I pay for the handmade materials, but the production has to be marked with the mark and tag of my Baoyun Building. ”
She looked at Li Jingshan with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "And I'm going to wronged my sister, I can't leave the name of the craftsman." I don't know if the soft three young can agree? ”
Li Jingshan glanced at Ruan Mingyu, but saw that Ruan Mingyu's inky eyes were also looking at her deeply. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "But it's up to the young master to decide." ”
Ruan Mingyu raised the corners of his mouth and laughed loudly: "We have formed an alliance, what else is wronged or not, design for Sanniang, isn't it just for me to design the Treasure Pavilion." I still have to thank you for helping me adjust and teach her well. ”
Jiang Yuelan let out a long sigh and winked at Ruan Mingyu: "It's a pity that my family doesn't have any famous guests, and this business has lost Sanniang again." ”
Ruan Mingyu didn't make fun of him this time, he just laughed, "It's a long time coming, and we have a lot of cooperation." ”
A few people drank and returned happy. When leaving the Drunken Immortal Residence, Li Mingyan said to Ruan Mingyu: "Tonight, my carriage faction is useful, can you bother Ruan Gongzi to send the slave family on the way?" ”
"Sanniang is polite, why not." Ruan Mingyu asked Ruan Mo to drive the carriage over, and personally helped Li Mingyan into the carriage before boarding the carriage and taking a seat.
Li Jingshan also got into the car and waited at the next head. She saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, especially Young Master Ruan, who told the story of the neighborhood and made the bright Li Sanniang tremble.
"Our people surnamed Hou in the alley are famous for being afraid of their wives at home. One day, the temple fair passed by a fortune-telling stall, and asked people to help look at the face on a whim. The man touched his hands and looked at the face, and said, 'The man's hands are like cotton, and he has money around him, and the woman's hands are like ginger, and the belongings are piled up in boxes.'
The man was overjoyed and said, 'Great, my wife's hands are like ginger!' The looker asked, 'Why do you see your wife's hand like ginger?'"
When Ruan Mingyu said this, he deliberately paused, "How did you answer when Brother Hou did?" ”
Li Mingyan's eyes widened and asked curiously, "What did he say?" ”
Li Jingshan pretended to add incense to the incense burner, and also pricked up her ears on the side, wondering why she had not heard these stories in the neighborhood at the entrance of the alley after staying in the courtyard for so long?
Ruan Mingyu knocked the pretending folding fan into his palm, and said with a smile: "I just heard that Brother Hou say: 'I was slapped in the mouth by her yesterday, and it is still hot!'"
When Li Mingyan heard this, she leaned back with a smile, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Ruan Shao's mouth is just a way to arrange people." ”
Ruan Mingyu didn't hurry to point the folding fan to Li Jingshan's side, raised half of his eyebrows and said, "Is it that I made it up randomly, just ask me about this little maid." She had been in the courtyard all day. ”
Li Jingshan saw that Li Mingyan really looked at it inquiringly, so she had to bite the bullet and help the young master lie: "Yes, yes." The man of the house was notoriously afraid of guilt. ”
Li Mingyan looked at Ruan Mingyu with a smile. Young Master Ruan looked taken for granted, and the corners of his mouth curved an innocent arc.
After talking and laughing, Li Jingshan got out of the carriage first, set up a stepping stool for the two guests and hosts, and held a wind lamp on the side to illuminate it.
Ruan Mingyu got down before Li Mingyan, stretched out his hand under the car and thoughtfully helped her get out of the car, and the bodies of the two were momentarily staggered, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were grinding their ears and temples.
Li Jingshan saw it clearly, Ruan Mingyu held Li Sanniang's hand and paused, and whispered something in her ear, Li Sanniang giggled again.
The light shone on Li Sanniang's bright face, and the perfect fusion of the charm of the young woman and the charming shyness of the girl was so dazzling. That is the temperament that can only be possessed after years of tempering by one's own noble cultivation.
And Ruan Mingyu's smiling face beside him, as well as the wind and elegance exuded from his body, were not inferior to Li Sanniang at all, but seemed to be a perfect match.
Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment. If she hadn't known that Li Sanniang was already a husband of Luo Shi, she almost thought that this was a pair of golden boys and girls.
I saw Li Mingyan stretch out his jade finger and look at Young Master Ruan's forehead with disgust, and said something, before he put the shawl on his arm and walked into the mansion with a smile on his face.
Li Jingshan only felt that that every move was indescribably charming. A word popped up in my heart: a stunner in the world.
saw Ruan Mingyu seeing Li Mingyan enter the mansion, and then turned his head, and the smile on his face had already disappeared. He whistled at Li Jingshan, which was regarded as a greeting, and he got into the carriage first.
Li Jingshan was suffocated again, thinking depressedly, facing that beautiful and charming person, she smiled and said to herself, like a dog! How unreasonable! Did he lose face with his performance tonight? I can't help but feel worried.
She also hurriedly got into the carriage and waited carefully beside Ruan Mingyu.
Ruan Mingyu glanced at her, and suddenly said: "Shopkeeper Hong once proposed to me, saying that you should deal with customers appropriately and let you learn sales from him." Tonight, it seems that maybe you are skilled in facing customers, and your performance in dealing with customers is not satisfactory, or you are almost hot. ”
Li Jingshan raised her head and looked at Ruan Mingyu in surprise, only to know that Young Master Ruan really asked her to come out to pick up guests!
With this thought, her face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "Let me deal with the customer...... Young Master Ruan, aren't you going to let me design jewelry? ”
Her gilding workmanship! Her "Shan" word brand!
Ruan Mingyu saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "Don't be nervous." But I might as well tell you that I submitted the expansion plan for Minzhou to the headquarters in the capital. After discussion, I was going to send two senior craftsmen over to help me implement the plan. They came to Minzhou after the year. ”
Li Jingshan's eyes shrank sharply, she knew what it meant.
Nguyen Minh Yu was quite satisfied with her reaction, but still stared at her and said the cold reality: "So you only have two months to manage to gain a foothold in the design workshop." If not, you can learn sales from Shopkeeper Hong and entertain customers. ”
