Li Jingshan carefully asked about the identity of the longevity elders, the participants and other details, and thought, "There is a hundred bat comb grate with a double row of hairpins in the treasure pavilion, which has a unique shape and a good meaning, which is suitable for Mrs. ”

Mrs. Lu clapped her hands and said with a smile, "This is very good, it saves me the trouble of looking around." You can send someone to Lu Shilang's mansion another day. ”

Seeing the opportunity, the other ladies also asked questions about the head and face ornaments, and Li Jingshan was overwhelmed for a while, but fortunately, Meng Shu came over at this time, and Li Jingshan hurriedly introduced people and asked Meng Shu to help answer.

After a banquet, the two of them actually brought three orders of business to Jingbao Pavilion. Mrs. Sun also said that next year, the jewelry in the house will be ordered and handed over to Jingbao Pavilion to take care of.

Li Jingshan and Meng Shu looked at each other and smiled, these orders were won, which was not only a major contribution to the performance of Jingbao Pavilion, but also a glorious stroke on their resume in Tianqiaotang.

----

It's the end of the year again. Before the annual vacation, Tianqiaotang once again carried out the ranking settlement of results. Six more students were sent home, and this time Zhuang Runqing was going home.

The partners were reluctant to give up on him, but Zhuang Runqing himself could see it, and said with a smile: "Originally, I was going to leave in the first half of the year, but thanks to Minzhi's help, I studied for half a year longer." I have to take care of you guys a lot. These are all earned, it's too late to be happy, how can you be sad? ”

Everyone knew that Zhuang Runqing was wide-hearted, fat, and open-minded, these words must be his sincere words, and those few sorrows were diluted, and he patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

"And when I go back, I still have a lot to do." Zhuang Runqing rubbed his hands and said shyly, "After I start spring, I will go to Minzhi's house in Qingzhou to propose marriage, if it goes well, I will prepare for the wedding in the second half of the year." When the time comes, you should come over and have a glass of wine. ”

The sorrow of separation was completely washed away by this news, everyone congratulated him with a smile, you gave him advice every word, how to propose marriage, and what to say when you meet your mother's family...... Sending him outside the long pavilion, Zhuang Runqing thanked him again and again, they were afraid of delaying his trip so they stayed, and watched his carriage slowly go away on the official road.

It was the end of the year, and the pedestrians hurried by, and the sky was covered with fine snow like grains of salt, and gray clouds pressed low on the horizon. Li Jingshan took a deep breath of the cold air, and tasted some gloom for no reason.

"Another year has passed, Qingzi has already married, and Minzhi and Xiaozhuang are also going to get married." Meng Shu suddenly sighed, and Li Jingshan both turned their heads to look at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was furious by them, and said vigilantly, "Look at what I'm doing, I haven't married yet." ”

"You're married." Li Jingshan said unceremoniously, "I saw you put a pair of concentric knots in an envelope last month and send it back with a letter from home. ”

Ye Qinglao blushed and argued forcefully, "I haven't been back for two years...... Lan'er has also waited for so long, so naturally she wants to express it. ”

"When the study is over, you're going to go back and get married, right?" Meng Shu asked suddenly.

Ye Qing nodded, "Well, when the assessment is completed next year, I will be twenty-five, and it is time to start a family...... I said that you are also a girl in your early twenties, didn't you give Zhang Luo at home? ”

Meng Shu's eyes darkened, Ye Qing didn't pay attention, but he couldn't escape Li Jingshan's eyes. She took Meng Shu's hand and bluffed, "What's the beginning, this girl is only twenty, okay!" The good years have just begun, so don't find an in-law to be trapped so quickly. ”

"Okay, okay, what you say has a point." Ye Qing reluctantly followed behind them, "Just be careful not to overdo it, and become an old girl, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get married." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two girls in front of him turned around and spat all over their faces, "Crow's mouth!" ”

There happened to be a black crow in the sky screaming and flying over, and Ye Qing fled with his head in his hands.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the students still gathered in the dining hall to make dumplings. However, compared to last year's more than 20 people, there are only six people left this year, and there are not even enough people at the table. And the wrapped dumplings stand on the noodle table, and they are all sparse.

Ye Qing rolled the dough and groaned, "Personnel have metabolism, and they come and go."

Li Jingshan stuffed lucky money in almost half of the dumplings, and hoped that everyone would be smooth and prosperous in the coming year. Meng Shu was skillful and kneaded the dumplings into the shape of a double butterfly. Li Jingshan sounded the joking words when bidding farewell to Xiaozhuang again, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

She is twenty years old this year, and Meng Shu is two years older than her. In the eyes of today's world, they are real old girls. Now I can barely say that I have no time to take care of marriage because of my studies. Once you finish your studies, if you marry yourself off quickly, you will be gossiping.

A few days ago, I received a letter from Minzhou. The mother mentioned in the letter that Li Zhang's son was already full moon, and invited her to eat full moon wine! And yesterday, Li Jingjue came to see her, and said that her mother didn't dare to ask her in the letter, so she could only ask her son quietly, so that he could pay more attention to the good sons around him, so that he could be a matchmaker for his sister!

Although he and Ruan Mingyu are in love, they still hide it from their mother, and so far Young Master Ruan has never mentioned taking her home, and it seems that he has not negotiated with his family. But if you let yourself give up the jewelry craft and marry into the Ruan family, not to mention how Ruan Mingyu feels, she will never agree. If this deadlock is not broken, his marriage will always be hanging.

Alas, hang it, hang it, Li Jingshan sighed, she was only twenty years old. In my previous life, I hadn't graduated from college yet, and it was the best youth.

But Meng Shu ...... Twenty-two years old, even in modern times, it can be said that the in-laws are gone.

Li Jingshan glanced at Meng Shu, with soft eyebrows and eyes, fair skin, and tranquil temperament, she is a typical Jiangnan girl, the kind that came out of the painting. However, the mood she inadvertently revealed that day let Li Jingshan know that she actually didn't really let go of her feelings for Ye Qing.

She remembered that at this year's Shangsi Festival, Meng Shu's work, the title is "The rain hits the pear blossom and closes the door", which is deeply closed, which is the door of the heart! This girl seems to be tranquil, but she is indeed stubborn.

"What are you thinking? The dumplings are all pinched and deformed by you. ”

Meng Shu took the dumplings in Li Jingshan's hand and helped her trim them. Li Jingshan watched her slender fingers fly up and down, and quickly made the dumplings into the shape of ingots and put them on the board, "You can only remedy this." ”

"Looking at our beautiful and ingenious Miss Meng," Li Jingshan put her hand on Meng Shu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Such a good girl, which family will be blessed to get such a good daughter-in-law in the future!"

"Net nonsense." Meng Shu Bafeng continued to wrap dumplings without moving, without even moving her eyebrows, "Who said that I must get married, if I can't meet a suitable person, I will be in the Jingbao Pavilion for the rest of my life, and I will be with jewelry, why not." ”

Li Jingshan was so shocked that she patted Meng Shu, "You can't talk nonsense about this, how can you not get married, how can your family explain?" ”

"Why not? Isn't Mr. Li Mingfang just never married? Meng Shu raised her head calmly, and her tone was as flat as if she said that I like cabbage dumplings and don't like leek dumplings, "I'm in the capital, my family is in Changzhou, and they can't reach it." ”

"Li Mingfang, that's, that's ......" Li Jingshan didn't criticize Mr. behind her back, and said: "You always have to go home......"

Halfway through speaking, he stopped, these are really not any reasons, as long as Meng Shu's spirit is strong enough to withstand all kinds of criticism.

Coming from modern times, she can accept the freedom of being unmarried. But she didn't expect that the one who really planned to practice this matter was Meng Shu, who was born and raised in ancient times. She let out a long sigh, thinking of Li Mingfang's lonely figure, admiring her bravery, but also worried about her bumpy future.

-----

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone only stayed in the dining hall for a while. Because of the small number of people, there was no atmosphere for even the vigil, and after a while, they dispersed.

Li Jingshan expected that Ruan Mingyu must be too busy to touch the ground tonight and have no time to take care of herself. And Li Jingjue was invited by her classmate Xu Changqing to be a guest at his home.

Looking at his mysterious appearance, Li Jingshan vaguely remembered that Li Jingjue seemed to have mentioned that Xu Changqing's sister seemed to be interested in her younger brother? Li Jingshan covered her face, it turned out that even Li Jingjue had grown up to the age where she could have a girlfriend, she was really ...... The years have been wasted!

She was boredoming throwing peanuts and chestnut taro into the brazier in her room, planning to bake them as snacks for the vigil, and thinking about whether to pull Meng Shu over.

But I heard two rings at the door, and a lazy voice said: "It's really a sin to let a beautiful woman stay alone in an empty room on such a good night." ”

"Young Master?!" Li Jingshan jumped up, "You, why are you here?" How do you have time to get here? ”

Ruan Mingyu stood at the door, clapped his hands, and opened his arms to her, "Accompany your beloved, naturally you are free." Come, hug. ”

Li Jingshan flew over and plunged into his arms! But I'm embarrassed to make love in the school park.,Just grabbed his waist hard.,And he withdrew with a red face.。

Ruan Mingyu licked the root of his teeth and said, "Sure enough, it's a hug!" ”

Li Jingshan's face turned red, ignoring his jokes, and only asked eagerly, "Are you really here to accompany me?" Didn't you come and see me and leave? ”

Ruan Mingyu smiled and said lightly: "What, does Miss Li really want me to stay?" His eyes glanced at the bed in the room, and he smiled maliciously.

Li Jingshan knew that he was teased again, so she was so annoyed that she clenched her fist and slammed it on his chest.

Ruan Mingyu was beaten by her, grabbed her pink fist, put it on the side of her mouth and kissed it, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take you to the outside of the city to put the lights." Go get dressed. ”

Li Jingshan cheered, hurriedly entered the house, and listened to Ruan Mingyu at the door, "Wear more, the river is cold." ”

She changed her clothes, saw the peanuts and chestnuts roasting in the brazier on the ground, poured them out again, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and carried them with her. When he came out, he glanced at the dressing mirror on the table, and the girl in the mirror had a pink face, apricot eyes with water, and where was the appearance of self-pity just now.

"That's it!" Li Jingshan stood in front of Ruan Mingyu with a smile, "Where are we going?" ”

Her delicate face was exposed at the collar of her fluffy cape, unspeakably cute. Ruan Mingyu pecked her lightly, then took her hand and hugged her and walked out, "Go and put the sky lantern!" ”
