The first treasure race in Minzhou City finally ended successfully, and the treasure hunting pavilion won the top spot without any suspense. Although there was a farce of disputes with Si Zhenfang in the middle, Jingbao Pavilion skillfully washed away the grievances, and instead used this opportunity to enhance its prestige and reputation.

In the store display after the end of the Saibao Club, the shop of Jingbao Pavilion was almost crowded with people, competing to witness the award-winning heads, and some came to buy jewelry.

By the end of the evening event, all the employees of Jingbao Pavilion were beaming with joy and excitement. Shopkeeper Hong waved his hand, and Lang smiled: "Everyone has worked hard today, go back to rest for a night, let's choose a day to ask the young owner to set up a banquet to celebrate!" ”

Everyone applauded, and each of them collected and inspected the good things and dispersed.

Li Jingshan looked at the gradually empty scene and let out a long breath. Her work won the first place, but she was not as happy as she imagined.

Maybe it's because I witnessed the decline of Si Zhenfang, maybe it's because a treasure race is mixed with so many intrigues, maybe it's because I also experienced Li Xiaomei's betrayal......

Thinking of Li Xiaomei, Li Jingshan became even more depressed. She turned her steps and walked in the direction of Li Zhang's house.

"This beauty, today's victory, raised her eyebrows. Can you enjoy a face and drink a glass of celebratory wine with Master Ben? ”

Someone blocked the way in front of you. The man's eyebrows were beautiful, and he raised his eyebrows to reveal a ruffian smile, but his eyes were full of sincere and happy smiles.

The "picturesque" folding fan was half-open and half-closed, lightly pressed under Li Jingshan's chin, but it stopped just a minute away from her skin. It's a good way to advance and retreat, and to attack and defend.

Li Jingshan sighed in her heart, sooner or later she would have to be really hooked by him.

She dodged away from the folding fan, and said hastily: "Thank you young master for the invitation, but the slave has something to deal with tonight, and it is inconvenient to accompany her." Please forgive me, young master. Then he walked on.

Ruan Mingyu did not give up, still in front of her, walking backwards with her steps, and smiled happily: "Something? Aren't you going home, do you have to go to find trouble with Little Sister Na Li? ”

Li Jingshan nodded indifferently, "I won't just leave this matter at that." ”

"Hey, then you're going the wrong way, that little sister Li, now you can lock it up in the firewood room in the back kitchen of the Jingbao Pavilion."

Li Jingshan stopped her steps and said hurriedly: "You promised me that I would handle this matter by myself!" ”

"It's just locked in the firewood room, and it hasn't been sent to the yamen." Ruan Mingyu said nonchalantly: "I'm just afraid that she will make extraneous troubles during the Saibao period and restrict her freedom of movement." ”

Li Jingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and after her heart, she had to explain to Li Zhang.

Ruan Mingyu looked at her and had already guessed what she was thinking, he snorted and pursed his lips, and said, "It was Li Zhang who personally sent his sister over." That rough man was so angry that he wanted to beat people, so if you want to find Na Li's bad luck, he probably won't stop him. ”

Li Jingshan only knew that the person in front of her had done everything he wanted to do for her first. My heart couldn't help but warm, and I made a thank you gift, "Thank you, young master." ”

"How thanks?" The handsome face came up, the corners of the eyes were affectionate, the eyebrows were graceful, and even the voice was as soft as the spring breeze in March.

Li Jingshan sighed again. If it was usual, she would be very interested in accompanying this young master to grind her lips. But today, she pretended to be in her heart and was in no mood to fight a lawsuit with him.

So he stood still, looked at him intently, and replied seriously: "Young master, the slave maid works hard in the Jingbao Pavilion during the day and serves in the Ruan family's courtyard at night, even if you want to thank you, you don't have to worry about this time." ”

As soon as Ruan Mingyu heard this, he knew that someone was in a bad mood, so he immediately looked at him and said softly, "Then I won't bother you." I'll accompany you back to the Treasure Chamber. ”

Li Jingshan was silent, and followed him silently. Ruan Mingyu didn't say much, just passing by a street stall, she would buy a candy man and put it in her hand, and stopped the little girl who was selling flowers on the roadside, and chose two apricot blossoms to put in her sideburns.

Li Jingshan's originally depressed mood gave him such a coax, and gradually dispersed like a cloud, and when he returned to the Jingbao Pavilion, he had already let go of the barriers in his heart and felt relaxed.

Ruan Mingyu stood still at the door of the Treasure Pavilion and said softly to her: "You can do whatever you want to do with this matter, you just need to know that behind you is the Treasure Hunting Pavilion!" ”

Li Jingshan was moved, but she joked with a smile, "The young master said this as if I was going to harm the township, and I had to find a backer to support me." ”

When Ruan Mingyu heard this, he knew that this girl had let go of her mind, and said with a smile: "That's!" At least the field has to hold you up! ”

He pointed to the side hall inside, "I'm waiting for you inside, if you come out early, remember to ask me to go to the food alley to find food." He blinked as he spoke, and entered the inner courtyard.

Li Jingshan looked at the warm light enveloping the long figure, and the corners of her mouth were also faintly smiling.

-----

Treasure Court backyard.

Li Xiaomei curled up in the corner with tears on her face, and when she heard the door knocking, she raised her head in fright.

"Sister Li......"

"I only have one younger brother, and when I was a child, I always pestered my mother to give birth to a younger sister." Li Jingshan put the candlestick on the nearby windowsill and sat side by side with Li Xiaomei on the ground.

Li Xiaomei exclaimed, "Sister Li! I didn't, didn't take your drawings, I was wronged! ”

Li Jingshan turned her head to look at her, and finally showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes: "When you sent the drawings for the first time, I wasn't sure yet. But the second time you come to get the drawings, do you think you can still quibble? ”

"Nope! I didn't take it! Li Xiaomei panicked, but still insisted, "I really don't know what you're talking about!" ”

Li Jingshan shook her head, "When you came to me for the second time, I deliberately went out and left you alone in my workshop. I just want to give you a chance. ”

She sighed softly, "It's just that you still failed me...... Do you remember when I came back, I gave you a jade ring? ”

"What's wrong with that ring?" Li Xiaomei's eyes widened, and fear crept into her heart.

"No, there is no problem with the ring. The problematic is your hand. Li Jingshan said lightly, "My drawings are deliberately coated with some incense powder, and if you touch my drawings for a long time, you will be stained with that fragrance." When I helped you bring the ring, I clearly smelled the incense powder on your hand! ”

Li Xiaomei was completely stunned! After a while, he cried out, "Sister Li, I'm ...... I know it's wrong, you, you spare me this time. ”

"I want to have a younger sister," Li Jingshan didn't look at her again, but stared at the slightly beating flame, and continued to whisper, "Share the secrets of the boudoir with her, dress her up beautifully, and then wait for her to grow up one day, and send her to marry in style." It's a pity I didn't. ”

"Later, I met Brother Li Zhang and met you." Li Jingshan finally turned her head to look at her, and a small flame danced in her eyes. She smiled at the corner of her mouth, "I think I finally have a younger sister, I can dress her up beautifully, I can watch her grow up, and then send her to marry in style......"

Li Xiaomei remembered the jewelry that Li Jingshan brought her and the food brocade that she sent to the house, and she cried out wowly, pulling Li Jingshan's sleeve and crying: "Sister Li, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I, I didn't mean to, to hurt you......"

"I know that you are instigated, and I know that you have no intention of harming me." Li Jingshan hooked her lips and smiled, looking at her gaze suddenly turned cold, "It's just that I know better that if you don't have resentment in your heart, you won't be instigated!" She smiled lonely, "I think the wish of having a sister is just a luxury after all." ”

Li Xiaomei shrank and trembled under Li Jingshan's gaze, and she cried: "I didn't, I really didn't know it would be like this...... Spare me, please......"

"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine. I have asked the young owner not to pursue your business again. Li Jingshan stood up, picked up the candlestick, and said calmly, "You can go." ”

When Li Xiaomei heard it at first, she hiccuped in shock, looked at her in a daze, and forgot to say anything.

Li Jingshan walked out with the candlestick, motioned for her to follow, and turned around at the door, the candlelight could not reach her eyes, and it was dark inside, "But, this is the last time." ”

Li Xiaomei came back to her senses and hurriedly walked out of her side. Standing in the cold courtyard under the moonlight, Li Xiaomei finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and looked at Li Jingshan apologetically, "Sister Li, thank you...... I'm sorry. ”

"From now on, please don't call me sister again. I can't stand it. ”

Li Jingshan shook her head, "You are so self-conscious." There is still a long way to go in life, and not every time you do something wrong, you can make up for it, and you can beg for forgiveness. ”

Li Xiaomei saluted and thanked him sneeringly and walked out. After taking two steps, she suddenly remembered something, and asked worriedly: "My brother, will it be because of my ......" She couldn't continue, and could only look at Li Jingshan with a shrunken look.

"This matter has nothing to do with him." Li Jingshan shook her head again, "Although you are no longer my sister, he is still my eldest brother." He was brought in by me, and I will protect him. ”

Li Xiaomei looked at Li Jingshan, and in the bottomless ink eyes, she saw the bottom line she adhered to: repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. She will be grateful for the kindness that has helped her; She will never forgive those who have hurt her.

Li Xiaomei suddenly understood a little why the third brother was disdainful of the second lady Li Jingyao, but he respected the eldest lady.

She squirmed her lips to say something, but in the end she just bent down and bowed deeply, and walked quickly out of the backyard of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion.

Li Jingshan looked at the sky and went to the backyard to find Ruan Mingyu.

"Now that this hour has passed, I'm afraid that many stalls have been collected." Li Jingshan frowned when she saw Ruan Mingyu, and hurriedly reassured: "Why don't we go to the Ruan family's courtyard and let Sister-in-law Zhang make a few good things, and I will put a beautiful arrangement pattern for you." ”

Ruan Mingyu's eyebrows expanded: "It's okay, it's been a long time since you got me a pattern to arrange." ”
