Mrs. Li discussed with the guy at the counter, "I pulled so many pieces of fabric here, why don't I give a low discount." ”

Li Jingjue was also beside her to help, and her tone was like that of a little adult, "That's it, you sell it cheaper, we're happy, and I'll come to you to buy it next time." ”

Li Jingshan knows that bargaining is one of the great pleasures of shopping, and she does not interfere with them, but just laughs and watches. A word suddenly popped up in my heart: the years are quiet.

This thought came to mind, startling Li Jingshan herself.

Thinking of the difficult years at the beginning of the year, the dilemma that almost forced my mother to die seemed as unreal as a layer of fog. And now, the mother who used to show off everyone who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers has learned to bargain with others!

Looking at the younger brother again, the original little hairy head grew almost as tall as his sister at some point. Only the simplicity of the heart remains unchanged, as bright as a light in the home.

Mrs. Li had already bought her things and walked out with Li Jingjue, still chattering, "You have grown tall in the past two years, and these clothes can be changed quickly." Everything is very expensive this year, and I will prepare a few more pieces for you after the New Year. ”

Li Jingshan stepped forward to hold her mother's arm and said with a smile: "The flowers in the year are beautiful, so it doesn't hurt to buy more." We're not short of that amount of money right now. ”

"You," Mrs. Li smiled and nodded her forehead, "It's really not a good family and you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." I only saved a few dollars, and I put on a big show. ”

A few people walked out giggling, and Li Jingshan's heart was warm.

There is no worry about food and clothing, you can live and work in peace and contentment, and you can be accompanied by your family, and you will be happy, isn't this - the years are quiet.

Suddenly it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Jingjue got down from the small stool at the door, stood still and looked at the couplet he had just pasted, the more she looked at it, the more proud she became, and shouted loudly: "Mother, sister! If you look at this couplet, how do I write it? ”

Li Jingshan came out with the peach talisman, hung it on the door, and also looked at it twice, and praised: "It's well written!" The wind and bones are gradually revealed. ”

After Li Jingshan had plenty of money, she bought a lot of paper and ink for her younger brother, and the kid was so happy that he practiced calligraphy and practiced calligraphy.

Not to mention, it's a really good handwriting!

Mrs. Li greeted in the main room, "You two quickly clean up your hands and get ready to eat!" Shan'er came over to serve the food, and Jue'er went to invite Fubo over. ”

The two glanced at each other, smiled and responded, and went to work separately.

Except for Fu Bo and Li Jingshan's family, everyone else in the courtyard is a local from Minzhou. Therefore, Fu Bo ordered that the New Year's dishes should be prepared early and distributed to the people, and after the New Year's profit was distributed at noon, the people were released to go home for the New Year. And Young Master Ruan also took the two little guys out to socialize, so now there are only a few of them left in the courtyard.

Therefore, Mrs. Li invited Fubo to come over for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was also lively.

Fu Bo happily came over with a small wine jug, and praised Li Jingjue's words at the door before entering the house. The dishes have been served, and they are all New Year's dishes made in the kitchen at noon, but after Li Jingshan's skillful plating, they look a little more elegant and joyful.

Fu Bo laughed and said, "Li girl really gave birth to a pair of skillful hands. If you can get into the eyes of the young master, you must have some real skills. ”

Li Jingshan smiled, "I'm just carving insect skills." The young master is used to eating and drinking in his own family, and thanks to you taking care of him here, he can continue to live so nourishingly. ”

Fu Bo shook his head, "Compared to the capital family, this place is really nothing. The young master is at home, and the bowls used for eating are all Ruyao boutiques. He picked up a bowl and turned it gently, and smiled softly, "Here, it would be good if I could find him a white porcelain from the official kiln." ”

Li Jingshan didn't know much about porcelain, but she had heard of the names of the five famous kilns. At that time, Ru kiln porcelain stood proudly at the top of all kinds of fine porcelain, and it was rumored that a set of Ru kiln porcelain cost half a year to ordinary people.

Usually porcelain of this level is placed on the Bogu shelf for people to see.

This Ruan Xuan is actually used for daily use!

Li Jingshan couldn't help but be curious, "Then why did Young Master Ruan come to Minzhou?" ”

Fu Bo drank two sips of wine, and he talked more: "It is not easy for the Ruan family to break into a family business in the capital. It's harder to stay thriving. Old Man Ruan took precautions and released the descendants of the Ruan family out for training very early. Young Master Ruan is the third, there are two elder brothers above, the eldest brother is now on an errand in the general number, the second brother has taken the official career, and when he arrives at his age, his wife is in great pain. ”

He picked up the wine glass, but it was empty, and Li Jingshan filled it for him with a very good eye, "That's why I developed such a ...... Uh, do you pursue a delicate temperament in everything? ”

Fu Bo took a sip and said with a smile: "It's really fine." also developed his poisonous eyes. When he was five years old, the old lady made a birthday, and there was a top jade jade bracelet in the birthday gift, he used it to play with, knocked it twice and said to his grandmother, this bracelet has cracks, it is a defective product. ”

Fu Bo took a fried peanut, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, "Master Ruan took it over and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he found a thin crack inside. Later, when I inquired, I accidentally knocked it when I was cleaning it up and broke it.

Since then, the master has been interested in cultivating the third young master to appreciate treasures, and by the age of ten, he has become well-known in the jewelry industry. ”

went around in a circle, but still didn't say why Ruan Sanshao came over. Li Jingshan also took a sip with her shallow, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, the third young master followed the eldest young master to study in the firm, made a few beautiful deals, made a name for himself in the capital, and gained prestige in the general number......" Fu Bo looked down at the wine in the cup for a long time, picked up the wine glass and drank it up, "Later, the master put the young master outside to practice." ”

Ah, it's a big family that can't escape the opposition, how similar it is to the Li family. Li Jingshan felt a trace of sympathy in her heart, and she also lowered her eyes and silently drank a glass with her.

After dinner, Fu Bo gave Li Jingshan and Li Jingjue two juniors New Year's money, and went back to his house, and did not disturb the family fun of the Li family.

There were no outsiders in the house, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. With the sound of firecrackers outside from time to time, the three of them ate snacks around the fireplace and kept vigil, and before they knew it, it was almost midnight.

It is customary for the Li family to say that when Chinese New Year's Eve is used to welcome the old and welcome the new, they should talk about their wishes for the coming year.

Li Jingjue took a piece of cake and asked first, "Sister, what is your New Year's resolution?" ”

Li Jingshan showed that handsome figure in her mind, but what she said was, "Make money." Then find us a good yard. ”

You can't always send people under the fence like this.

"Uh-huh, me too." Li Jingjue ate the cake and said vaguely.

Li Jingshan asked her younger brother, "Jue'er, what do you want to do most in the new year?" ”

"Grow up!" Li Jingjue bit the cake in her mouth and held a piece of halva in her hand.

Said vaguely.

Li Jingshan smiled: "Is this also a wish?" I thought you were going to say you passed the college exam. ”

Li Jingjue swallowed the cake, took a sip of tea, and said, "I will definitely pass the hospital test, and I don't need to make a wish for this." I want to grow up quickly, earn my own money, and be like my sister. ”

He stood up and waved his hand forward, making a throwing motion, "Buy whatever you want, spend a lot of money!" ”

Li Jingshan was stunned and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that this kid still remembered the grievances of being stopped by his mother when he bought New Year's goods two days ago, and couldn't wait to control his financial autonomy.

"Okay, I'll help you remember your wishes, grow up quickly, pass the college exam, and spend your own money," Li Jingshan counted him with his fingers.

Li Jingjue said seriously, "And find a good husband for my sister." ”

Li Jingshan's eyes widened: "......"

What is the truth of this little ghost!

She patted Li Jingjue's head in shame, "Don't worry about my business, children." ”

Li Jingjue was not annoyed by that, and still said seriously, "Sister, is this your New Year's resolution?" Looking for a good match? ”

"What nonsense!" Li Jingshan's mouth was chaotic, but the figure appeared in her heart, and her face turned red unconsciously.

Mrs. Li was amused by the two siblings,

looked at Li Jingshan and said, "Mother's wish is also to let you meet someone who is really good to you in the coming year." In this way, the mother will be relieved. ”

"Mother! You're messing around with your little brother too. Li Jingshan shook Mrs. Li's arm and said angrily, "Am I so like someone who can't get married!" ”

Just after midnight, the sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the city, bringing their laughter into the New Year's festivities.

The shops all take advantage of the New Year to do business, so they only have a day off on the first day of the new year, and they will open for business from the second day of the new year, and the shop staff will also take shifts.

And for Li Jingshan, shifts or something have become a luxury. The following are the original words of Young Master Ruan:

"The New Year is the golden period of the jewelry industry, and the sales of some shops during the New Year can be up to half a year. You have followed me to the shop in the past few days, to ease the situation of manpower tension; The second is to receive customers at the counter, so as to understand the preferences of customers and grasp the design direction of the next season. ”

"...... what is the 'annual festival three salaries'? You can rest assured, at this time, the owner's laisee decision to the guy is indispensable. Ruan Sanshao's well-defined fingers pinched Li Jingshan's cheeks, and smiled loudly, "Follow the young master, I can't treat you badly!" ”

As a result, Li Jingshan could only slander the profiteers and cheat people, and followed the young master's carriage to the store every day to "clock in and go to work".

However, what the young master said is also true, the number of customers in the store has increased several times compared with the past, and the pockets of ordinary people who have been covering their pockets for a year are now open to buying. Li Jingshan feels that in the half month of the Chinese New Year, she has received more customers than in the previous days combined, and the experience and knowledge she has accumulated are also incomparable to usual.

This kind of fulfilling and rewarding days just fits the temperament of a scientist in Li Jingshan's bones and her thirst for exploring new knowledge.

So much so that she went from just working on errands to complete her tasks two days later, she actively touched all aspects of the store, from the morning shelves to the inventory of items after closing, she was personally involved, like a thirsty sponge, absorbing knowledge from this unknown field. Several times, Ruan Shu came to urge, and the young master's carriage was leaving, so she reluctantly left the store.

"I'll just say, that girl is a piece of material for sales." Shopkeeper Hong sat in the side hall of the account room, holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, and snorted his big red robe, "Look how diligent she has been these days, and 10% of her sales are recorded in her name." ”

Ruan Mingyu sat opposite, with a beautiful cheese in front of him. He licked the milky white of his lips and said with a smile: "These experiences are just the accumulation of her jewelry design." By the way, have you heard of the church meeting on the 22nd of the lunar month? ”

"Township drinking feast, I heard about it." Shopkeeper Hong was interested and said: "I heard that after Miss Cuiqiao won the magnolia crown, many officials wanted to raise her, and even the prefect Fang was interested in her, but in the end she followed the shopkeeper of Jishantang on East Street. ”

Shopkeeper Hong said with a smile: "Bustards love money, and sisters love pretty." That Hu shopkeeper is in his early forties, and he can be Cuiqiao's father at his age! Although the family background is also solid, his son is going to enter Beijing to take the exam, and he can't do it in terms of money and appearance, where did he get into the eyes of the oiran? ”
