The sudden sound frightened Li Jingshan and almost threw the kitten out of her hand. She turned to look at Ruan Mingyu who was holding the curtain of the car, patted her chest and couldn't help complaining, "Young master, people are scary, scared to death." ”

Ruan Mingyu got out of the carriage, raised his hands and said innocently: "I've called you twice, it's you who are too engrossed - what is in your hand?" ”

Li Jingshan held the little milk cat in her palm and stretched it over, and said with a smile: "A kitten just picked up." ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at the dirty hair ball with disgust, and stretched out his hand to her, "Come up, go home first." ”

Li Jingshan handed the package in her hand to Ruan Shu, who was driving, and grabbed Young Master Ruan's hand and got into the carriage.

Ruan Mingyu had a faint smell of alcohol on his body, but he was not drunk, leaning on the couch and looking at her lazily, and asked, "Why are you here, you didn't keep vigil with your family?" ”

Li Jingshan touched the small hairball in her palm, went through all kinds of reasons on her tongue and tip, and finally chose the most decent one, "Sister-in-law Zhang went back today, and tomorrow the young master wakes up and has to be served for dinner, and I will go back to the other courtyard to do things cheaply." ”

Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yo, do you remember leading the envoy in the other courtyard?" It's been a long time since I've seen fancy plating. ”

Li Jingshan thought that she was still supporting a salary in the other courtyard, and she also blushed slightly, and said with a flattering smile: "This is not ...... Are you back to serve you? ”

"Waiting for me to come back with a drag oil bottle?" Young Master Ruan glanced at the dirty little furball with disgust again.

The kitten probably knew that it was talking about itself, and meowed twice unwillingly.

Li Jingshan felt that Young Master Ruan was not in high spirits tonight, and guessed that he didn't like pets, so she hurriedly said, "Let it spend the night in my house for the time being, and I will take it home tomorrow." It won't bother you. ”

"Wash it and don't let it into my house." Ruan Mingyu put away the placket, as if the stains on the kitten's body could also reach him from a distance.

Li Jingshan smiled secretly and hurriedly answered yes. It turns out that this gentleman also has a habit of cleanliness.

When she arrived at the courtyard, Li Jingshan locked the cat in her house, and was busy pouring water for the young master to prepare for supper. And Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo's two little servants had already given up the work of serving in the house to Li Jingshan.

Ruan Mingyu untied the straps of his clothes, and when he saw the burden that Li Jingshan was holding on the table, he turned his head and asked, "Why is this thing there...... This is, for me? ”

Li Jingshan took the coat he had faded and carefully chose the wording, "You haven't been home for two years for the New Year, and my mother sewed two winter clothes for you according to the customs here......"

"Oh, yes. Thank you, Mrs. Lai, for me. Ruan Mingyu stood at the table, letting Li Jingshan help him untie his belt and accessories, and his slender fingers unwrapped his baggage and looked through it. When I saw the finely made robes and accessories, my eyes flashed slightly, and my heart was clear.

After Li Jingshan waited for him to change into his regular clothes, he solemnly thanked him again, "Mrs. Li has a heart, this dress is very well done, and the younger generation is grateful." ”

Li Jingshan lowered her head to help him straighten his clothes, hiding her slightly red face, "You're welcome." ”

"And how can I thank you, Miss Li?" Ruan Mingyu refused to let her get her wish, bent her index knuckles, gently lifted her chin, smiled at the corner of her eyes, and changed her frivolous tone, "You are not at home to accompany your family on Chinese New Year's Eve, and rushed back to accompany me, how can I thank you for this friendship?" ”

Li Jingshan was pierced by Ruan Mingyu's thoughts, and she didn't start in a panic, not daring to look at Ruan Mingyu, "I, I'm here on an errand." ”

"The subordinates of the other courtyard will only come back on duty on the second day of the new year. You have to take care of the Treasure Pavilion, I deliberately asked Fu Bo not to arrange your errands. Why didn't he do it? Ruan Mingyu looked at her playfully, "Then I will punish him for his dereliction of duty." ”

Li Jingshan hurriedly raised her head and responded: "Fu Bo didn't line up, I came back by myself." After speaking, seeing Ruan Mingyu's teasing smile, he knew that he was being tricked by him again. I can't help but be angry in my heart, why is he worried that he will be sad if he is alone for the New Year, he is really salty and eats radishes!

Ruan Mingyu tilted his head to observe her expression, and said with a smile: "Are you worried that I am a little cabbage yellow in the field, and my father will not love my mother during the New Year?" So I came over on Chinese New Year's Eve to deliver winter clothes. ”

Li Jingshan instinctively avoided emotions such as pity and sympathy, and presumably Young Master Ruan did the same. Therefore, she calmed down and replied calmly, "It was my mother who gave us the house in order to thank you, and the kindness cannot be repaid, so she expressed her gratitude with this chat." Nothing else. ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at her, nodded slightly, and straightened his expression, "Even so, there is still a courtesy." I should also say that. ”

He raised his chin and nodded at the pile of boxes in the corner, and said, "Those are the New Year's goods that my family sent to me, and I was about to take them to the store to distribute them to everyone when the market opened." You pick first. Take whatever you like. ”

Li Jingshan knew that Ruan Mingyu silently showed in this way that she was not a "little cabbage" who was thrown outside and no one hurt. So you are not welcome, and picked out a blue-gray cotton silk in the open cage.

"This color is not for you." Ruan Mingyu said.

"Hmm. This is for Ah Jue. Li Jingshan smiled, "That kid is now smoking a long strip, and his clothes are changed diligently." But he likes this old-fashioned color, so he can only let him go. ”

Ruan Mingyu snorted and asked as if he remembered something: "Your brother, it's time to take the hospital exam this year, right?" ”

"Well, he's doing his homework well. Mr. Xuxue promised to recommend it to him. ”

Ruan Mingyu nodded and didn't say anything more. Instead, he stretched and walked to the inner room, "I'm going to sleep." ”

The young master didn't speak, and Li Jingshan didn't dare to make the quilt for him on her own, so she obediently blessed her body, exited the door, and called Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo to go in and serve.

Ruan Mingyu stood in front of the bed, looked back at the door and closed it softly, and snorted in displeasure. Could it be that the girl rushed over on Chinese New Year's Eve, didn't she want to take advantage of his loneliness and emptiness? How did you let it go so obediently?

After finishing it, I found out that I was secretly looking forward to the girl staying? His eyes darkened, and he licked his lips.

When Young Master Ruan woke up, it was already past noon.

The sun was shining outside, and the earth dragon inside was burning extremely warm. Nguyen Minh Yu pushed open the window, letting the crisp air dispel the turbidity of the night's sleep. The next moment, he saw Li Jingshan teasing the little milk cat that he picked up last night in the yard.

The cat had been washed, revealing a yellowish fluff all over its body, and it turned out to be a tabby civet cat. The cat had short legs, and walked in the snow rolling and crawling, imprinting small plum blossom prints in the snow.

Li Jingshan laughed, played happily, picked up the cat over and over again, and put it in the blank snow to print plum blossoms.

Ruan Mingyu looked at it with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and suddenly felt that Li Jingshan's appearance of playing tricks on cats was quite similar to when she was playing tricks on her.

He stood by the window and watched for a few moments, until the cold air provoked him to sneeze. Li Jingshan heard the movement, and hurriedly stood up with the cat in her arms, "Young master, you're up!" I'm going to fetch you water. ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at the slender figure and went to the kitchen, and suddenly felt that it was quite good to have such a gadget in the yard.

When Li Jingshan came in with water to serve and freshen up, Ruan Mingyu watched the sunlight coming in through the window lattice, jumping between her hair and shoulders, like a smart butterfly.

He resisted the urge to grasp the bright light, and asked seemingly casually, "How are you going to spend the first month?" ”

Li Jingshan looked up inexplicably, "Haven't you arranged my schedule, young master?" During the day, I watch the counters in the store, and at night I go back to the courtyard to serve you. ”

She rolled her eyes and said with a flattering smile: "Could it be that the boss gave a small extra leave?" ”

Ruan Mingyu flexed his fingers and lightly flicked Li Jingshan's forehead, "Think beautiful." I just want to ask about the festival customs here in Minzhou. ”

"Ah, it's the same everywhere, good luck in the year, meeting relatives and friends, eating dumplings, etc." Li Jingshan picked up the robe resting on the hanger and waited for Ruan Mingyu to change clothes.

Ruan Mingyu raised his hand to stop him, "Don't wear this, take the winter clothes that Mrs. Li gave you last night." ”

Li Jingshan hid the joy in her eyes, obediently took the winter clothes she brought yesterday, and helped the young master put them on.

Ruan Mingyu stretched out his hand, let Li Jingshan help him fasten his belt, bowed his head and said, "I must be busy these two days, and when I am a little free, you can accompany me for good luck." ”

"Huh——?" Li Jingshan looked at the young master in amazement.

Isn't it all with family and friends? Accompanying the owner, it seems that it is more suitable to ask for the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Ruan Mingyu saw the confusion in her eyes, her brows drooped, and she put on a look of great grievance, "I don't know the place here, and I'm alone for the New Year, can't you take care of me?" ”

"......" Li Jingshan was speechless.

You have the ability to change your face, why don't you go to set up a stall under the overpass, and you will definitely make a lot of money during the New Year.

----

Although the young master sent out an invitation, both of them were so busy that they were on their backs.

Li Jingshan is either in charge of the counter sales in the store during the day, or goes out to socialize with the young master at night, but she still tries to spend as much time as possible to spend with the family. She hadn't told her mother and brother that she was going to study in Beijing, but she began to cherish the time spent together.

Seeing that the sun was fine on this day, she took her mother out to go out for good luck.

During the New Year, the streets are bustling with food stalls of all kinds along the wide main street, the voices of burden-carrying merchants are loudly hawking along the road, and juggling and singing artists go about their business and gather crowds of applauder.

Li Jingshan loves such a strong atmosphere of fireworks in the world, and only in the prosperous world can she see such a prosperous scene.

She and her mother walked all the way to see, and when she passed by the jewelry store, she always liked to go in and have a look. After visiting a few stores, she was pleased to find that the style of the jewelry in those stores was also quietly changing, from the extravagance and sophistication she saw at the beginning, to the design of ingenious and ingenious, the materials used are becoming more and more affordable, and the price is becoming more and more acceptable to ordinary people.

She was secretly happy in her heart. Her desire to promote jewelry to ordinary people has finally begun to emerge here. And with the spread of gilding techniques and the application of more cheap materials in the future, she believes that such jewelry will become more and more acceptable to people.

Unconsciously walked to the door of Si Zhenfang. Li Jingshan looked at her mother, "Mother, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
