Mrs. Ruan shook her fan and said slowly, "If she can enter the Zhen Hall and have the title of master, she can be a professor in Tianqiao Hall." After entering Tianqiaotang, although she is not involved in business, she can continue to do jewelry design. ”

"......" Ruan Mingyu frowned and looked at his father's calm expression, knowing that they must have already discussed it, and they were waiting for him to join.

"Ouch, don't look at us like an enemy." Mrs. Ruan said with a smile, "This thing is also like doing business now, you make a price, and we make a counter, so that this business can be done." As he spoke, his face grimaced, "We have also made such a big concession, you should be content." Ah Yu, this is our bottom line. Think about it. ”

Ruan Mingyu's heart moved. He had to rely on what his mother said, and she made this suggestion, which can be regarded as a loophole in the family rules for him. Allowing a daughter-in-law who is engaged in jewelry craftsmanship to enter the door, and allowing her to work at the forefront of the jewelry industry, is indeed the maximum that the Ruan family can tolerate.

And now that he has gained a firm foothold in the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, given the time for him to cultivate his strength, he can even control the Elder Pavilion. By that time, the older generation had withdrawn, and he believed that he had every strength to compete with this family rule.

It's just that it takes time. He didn't want to wait, and he couldn't bear to let Li Jingshan wait too long.

Also, is this really what Li Jingshan wants?

Ruan Mingyu took a deep breath and bowed to his father, "The child understands." Thank you Mother. There was still something in the store, and the child quit first. ”

Ruan Jinghong looked at his son's back and sneered for a while, "This kid, is there anything you are not satisfied with?" In front of the two of us, you dare to be so tough! ”

Mrs. Ruan shook the fan lightly and said lightly: "However, Ah Yu is indeed different from us. ”

"How is it different?"

"We didn't insist as much as Ah Yu back then." After Mrs. Ruan finished speaking, she turned around and went into the house.

Ruan Jinghong was left standing in the courtyard in a daze.

----

However, the suggestion provoked fierce opposition from Lai.

"I disagree!" Li Jingshan said resolutely, "I learned this full of skills in order to carry forward the jewelry craftsmanship and promote beauty to more people." Instead of being an academic, you can only face dozens of students all day. ”

"But you can still make jewelry, you can participate in jewelry design, and indirectly work for Jingbao Pavilion."

"But I can't produce my own work, I'm going to lose my clients, I'm going to fade into mediocrity." Li Jingshan looked at Ruan Mingyu's eyes and said calmly, "You know, the masters of the Zhentang still produce their own works from time to time. Without my work, even if I enter the Treasure Hall, I am nothing! ”

Every hot season, when the store does a promotion sale, it will always launch one or two masterpieces to support the scene, and it will also become a popular jewelry sought after by customers. It can be said that the master and the work complement each other.

Ruan Mingyu was asked, and only pleaded for a while, "Ah Shan, this is only temporary...... When I get the family and the people of the Elders' Pavilion, I'll let you go back to the Treasure Pavilion and the workshop......"

"How long will it take?"

Ruan Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "A few years always take a few years. The long is ten years or eight years, and the short is three or five years, and when I fully master the Treasure Pavilion and the Elder Pavilion, I will find an opportunity to arrange for you to re-enter the Treasure Hunting Pavilion. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you for five years." Li Jingshan said calmly, "After five years, you will persuade your clansmen and relatives to let me marry into your Ruan family as a craftsman of Jingbao Pavilion." ”

"Ahsan! Now is not the time to be angry! "Ruan Minh Yu lost his temper in front of Li Jingshan for the first time. He said quickly, "This is an excellent opportunity for the Ruan family to recognize you. You don't know, the relationship in the capital mall is complicated, and the Elder Pavilion has always wanted me to further consolidate my position through marriage, or strive for more benefits for the store. ”

Li Jingshan looked at him quietly, "Marriage......?" ”

"After I returned to Beijing, especially after I became the treasurer, the people who proposed relatives have never been broken." Ruan Mingyu wiped his face and said a little tiredly, "The marriage in the business field is normal. Now there are also official eunuchs who protect the media......"

Ruan Mingyu didn't want to tell Li Jingshan about these troubles, thinking that it was useless to annoy her with these things, but at this time, she couldn't help complaining. "I'm twenty-four years old, and my eldest brother and second brother are either married or engaged at this age. And I, as the chief treasurer of the Treasure Hunt, the clan will not allow me to be single for twenty-five years! ”

Li Jingshan was stunned.

"Every time I go back to see my grandmother, her mantra is, 'When are you going to bring a girl back to show me?', my father and mother held a ticket in her hand to tell the matchmaker the girl's birthday. The aunt of the Chen family came to the door several times to intercede for the cousin of the Chen family......"

Ruan Mingyu grabbed Li Jingshan's arm hard and said irritably: "Do you know how much pressure I have to deal with this every day? Ahsan, can you be considerate of me? Isn't our love worth the jewels? I'm the one who wants to live with you for the rest of your life, and you can't live with those jewelry for the rest of your life! ”

His hand was pushed away by Li Jingshan, and he said indifferently: "If Ruan Sanshao is difficult to do, there are so many choices in front of him." You can choose a well-known lady to marry. There is no need to be embarrassed to offend the relatives and friends of the clansmen. ”

"Li Jingshan! What do you mean? Ruan Mingyu's eyes narrowed, and his tone became cold.

He has been smooth since he was a child, and he has hardly suffered any anger. Before I met Li Jingshan, I relied on a good skin to linger in the flowers, surrounded by bees and butterflies, and he was the only one who threw off others. He felt that he had exhausted all his patience and pampering on Li Jingshan. In the end, she had to say a light refusal, and her lungs were about to explode.

If it was another idle woman, maybe under Ruan Mingyu's momentum, she would have softened a long time ago, and obediently showed weakness and said a few good words to coax him back.

What he encountered was that Li Jingshan, who had crossed over from modern times, was an independent and independent woman who was more oppressive and rebellious under the authority of men. Under that seemingly demure and gentle appearance, there is a free and unyielding soul.

"It's literal. If the young master feels that he can't afford to wait, he can marry a man and a woman, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Li Jingshan looked at Ruan Mingyu's eyes without showing weakness, and said coldly: "I, Li Jingshan, have no power to ask myself, let Ruan Sanshao waste five years for me, and I don't dare to delay your good marriage." ”

"Li Jingshan, don't be lawless!" Ruan Mingyu was completely furious, his eyes were burning with anger, and he stepped forward to clamp Li Jingshan's chin, eager to see her heart, and carefully identify whether her words were sincere. He stared at the beard for a moment, and suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Don't forget, you're not just an employee of the Treasure Hunt......" he said with a casual smile, "Your deed of sale and identity is still with me." Speaking of which, you're still my slave girl. Men marrying women? If I don't speak, you don't even have the right to marry. It's up to me who you want to marry. ”

The blood on Li Jingshan's face faded and turned pale. She stared at Ruan Mingyu fiercely, her hands clenched into fists at her sides, and her body trembled slightly.

After a while, she slammed her strength to break free from Ruan Mingyu's grip and take two steps back. Trying to calm the tremor of his voice, "Good, good. So young master, are you going to exercise this power now? ”

Ruan Mingyu was ready to receive a slap from Li Jingshan, but she didn't expect her to discuss it with him in a calm tone, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and before she could respond, she saw Li Jingshan untie her neckline and tear off half of her collar, revealing her collarbone and half of her shoulders.

Li Jingshan's jade white skin was exposed under the lamp, with fragrant and glamorous temptation and confusion, but her expression and tone were cold to the bone: "If the young master orders me to go to bed now, will I also obey?" ”

"You! Don't provoke me! Ruan Mingyu roared angrily, suddenly squinted his eyes, looked at a pendant that slipped out of her neck, and his eyes suddenly froze, "What is this?" ”

He stretched out his long arm and grabbed at the pendant. Li Jingshan didn't have time to hide, and he took a closer look at the pendant with the bead button.

Li Jingshan looked like a gambler who was suddenly exposed to her hole cards on the card table, and instantly blushed with anger. She reached out and grabbed it, "You give it back to me!" ”

"Pay you back?" Ruan Mingyu folded his fingers and held the pendant in the palm of his hand, "This seems to be mine, right?" ”

Li Jingshan glared at him and didn't speak.

Ruan Mingyu said suddenly, "No wonder I said that the button of the lake brocade robe fell off at some point." Specially prepared from the South China Sea, the deep-sea colored shells are polished with pearl powder. It's hard to rematch if it falls off, and it almost broke one of my robes. ”

looked at her and said with a smile, "Tell me, where did this button come from?" ”

Li Jingshan said hard, bang, bang: "Pick it up." ”

"Where did you pick it up?" Ruan Mingyu recalled with interest, "This button fell off before you entered the Jingbao Pavilion, let me think about it, is it in the other courtyard?" In my house? Still is...... In my bed? ”

"It's on the official road where we first met! It's time for you to deliver me from danger! Li Jingshan suddenly erupted.

"At that time, I was a god who came down from heaven, and I admired you. Even though I know that I am sold and a slave, but I want to do my best to come to you, I have never despised myself for this, thinking that one day I can be compared with you. I thought I could do it, but I didn't expect that it was just my own wishful thinking, and I was always a slave girl in your eyes! ”

Ruan Mingyu changed color and exclaimed, "Ah Shan, I don't have ......"

As soon as his words came out, he saw Li Jingshan grasping the thin chain around his neck, pulling it hard, and the person quickly retreated, completely out of his control, and only the pendant with the half-cut chain in his hand remained. He looked at Li Jingshan's resolute posture, froze for a moment, and couldn't say the rest of his words anymore.

Li Jingshan said coldly: "This is indeed the young master's thing, and it should have been returned to you." My possession of my master's belongings is tantamount to theft. Thinking about the master is impure, since I am still a cheap slave, I am naturally punished by the young master. ”

After saying that, Ying Ying bowed down to him and bowed upright, turned around and walked towards Tianqiao Hall.

Ruan Mingyu was shocked, and hurriedly went up and stretched out his hand to pull Li Jingshan, "Ah Shan! Listen to me, I didn't mean that......"

Li Jingshan turned sideways to avoid it, but he pulled her sleeve. She struggled hard, and with a "snort" sound, Ruan Mingyu ripped off half of her sleeve.

Li Jingshan turned her head angrily and stared at Ruan Mingyu fiercely, her eyes were already full of tears: "Young Master Ruan, do you have to humiliate me like this?" ”
