Chapter Forty-Eight: Dressed Up
Li Jingshan didn't realize it, and joked with a smile: "Brother Li Zhang's talent and craftsmanship are good, and he will shush people for warmth, know cold and know hot." My future sister-in-law has really earned it! ”
Li Zhang looked at her in a daze, and then said in a hoarse voice, "It turns out that you don't ......" He suddenly stopped saying a word, turned around and walked forward with his head buried in his head.
When the sky was dark, Li Jingshan didn't notice that Li Zhang's face had become pale, she hurriedly took two steps and asked, "I don't have anything?" ”
“…… It's nothing, it's getting dark, let's go quickly. Li Zhang answered without looking back, and then stopped talking, and walked away in silence all the way.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly cooled. Li Jingshan didn't know what she said wrong, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so she had to follow behind worriedly.
All the way back to the Ruan family's courtyard, Li Zhang didn't speak, just quietly handed the bag on his back to Li Jingshan.
Li Jingshan hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it and carefully observed Li Zhang. Rao is Li Zhang's expression was wooden, and now she could also feel that he was in a bad mood. After thinking for a moment, he decided to thank him politely: "I'm really bothering you today." I really don't know how to thank you. ”
Li Zhang looked at her with heavy eyes, ignored her thanks, and suddenly said, "Are all the words you just said sincere?" ”
"Huh? Naturally, I sincerely thank you. Li Jingshan didn't know why, thinking that Li Zhang wanted something in return, so she hurriedly said: "How can Brother Li Zhang thank you if he wants me?" ”
Li Zhang's jaw tightened, and he was about to speak, when the backyard door suddenly opened, and Li Jingjue ran out and shouted as she ran: "Sister! Why did you come back so late! Young Master Ruan looked for you for an afternoon and said that he wanted to take you out for entertainment in the evening! It's too late, you shouldn't go! ”
"Hey, come on!" Li Jingshan was busy, smiled apologetically at Li Zhang, and was about to go in, but Li Zhang grabbed her arm.
Li Jingshan looked back in surprise, and saw that two clusters of flames seemed to rise in Li Zhang's dark eyes, burning inexplicably in the dark night.
Li Zhang said in a hoarse voice: "You, are you...... Like that Young Master Ruan? ”
Li Jingshan's pupils shrank, and her heart shook violently. She pretended to be calm and smiled, "Where does Brother Li want to go, he is the master, and I am the slave." He called for me, how could I not hurry up and serve? ”
Li Zhang nodded and let go of his hand: "You go quickly." ”
Li Jingshan waved her hand at him and hurried into the courtyard, she stepped into the courtyard door and looked back and saw that Li Zhang was still standing outside the door. Seeing her turn around, she also raised her hand and waved, before turning around and slowly walking into the night.
Li Jingshan looked at the back, and inexplicably felt that the figure did not look as tall as in the daytime, and his shoulders seemed to have collapsed slightly.
She couldn't figure out what she said wrong, which led to such a situation. However, at this time, she can't be allowed to think about it, and it is important to deal with the fried young master.
She carried the bag of spars into the house, thinking that she would find a time to ask Li Zhang to understand, after all, Li Zhang has always taken good care of her family, and if she really offends someone, she will have to pay for it.
However, Li Jingshan put her things away, entered the back room, and was immediately startled by the clothes in Li Jingjue's hand, "Where did you get these clothes?" Whose? ”
"The young master sent it, saying that you should change it and go out with him." Li Jingjue shook her clothes with a wicked smile and urged, "Hurry up, Brother Ruan Shu came to ask again just now." ”
Li Jingshan looked at the dress with wide eyes in surprise: an orange flying flower red apricot breast-length high-waisted skirt, with a light pink thin shirt and a white woven wool shawl. It was nothing, but the pink shirt was too thin, just a looming layer of tulle!
Li Jingshan took the clothes and compared them to herself, there was only one thought, the sisters in Hualou wore such clothes to pick up customers, could it be that the young master of the profiteer really wanted to arrange for her to pick up customers in Hualou? !
Li Jingshan's face changed a few times, and she was in a dilemma, when she suddenly heard Ruan Mingyu in the courtyard say loudly: "Hasn't Li Jingshan's girl come back yet?" There was already a hint of anger in his words.
Li Jingjue hurriedly pushed her sister, "Hurry up!" The young master is here to urge people personally! As he spoke, he hurriedly walked out of the back room, closed the door, and answered, "Young master, my sister is back and is changing clothes in the house." ”
Li Jingshan couldn't, sighed, and began to change clothes.
Ruan Mingyu snorted, and his face softened slightly. He waited impatiently in the courtyard for a moment, and just as he could not help but be angry again, the door creaked open. Li Jingshan was wearing the new clothes, her hands clutching the wool shawl on her shoulders, and she stood crampedly at the door.
Ruan Mingyu looked her up and down, frowning imperceptibly.
In fact, this kind of mature and wealthy outfit is not suitable for Li Jingshan's temperament. The dress was on her like an ignorant little girl stealing her mother's dress.
"This dress doesn't suit you well." Young Master Ruan clasped his hands and commented.
Just when Li Jingshan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Young Master Ruan would let her go, she saw Ruan Mingyu raise her chin and nodded to her: "You go to my study in the front yard, I called my mother-in-law to comb your hair." ”
What the?! I heard that the girl who picks up the customer for the first time has the treatment of the bustard's mother to help comb her hair, which is ...... Is it really the rhythm of selling her into the Qinglou!
Ruan Mingyu turned around to go back to his house, walked two steps, and didn't see Li Jingshan follow, and when he turned around, he saw Li Jingshan standing in place with a frightened face.
He thought for a while, couldn't help but be angry and funny, and glared: "You are so stupid, even if you want to sell you into the kiln, who will!" Come with me. ”
When Li Jingshan heard this, she hurriedly trotted over with her skirt.
"I don't look like a lady at all." Ruan Mingyu snorted dissatisfiedly again, turned around and went to the front yard.
…… Didn't you tell me to hurry! Li Jingshan followed with a sneer.
Sure enough, there was already a woman who combed her hair in the study, and when she saw Li Jingshan, she smiled and said: "The girl's clothes are extravagant, and she needs to have a gorgeous hair shape, how can she tie a double bun." ”
As he spoke, he pressed Li Jingshan to the dresser and untied her bun. The woman was used to it, but she got her hair done in a quarter of an hour. She took Li Jingshan's face and looked left and right, and made a fuss in her face again.
Half an hour later, Ruan Mingyu came in. When I saw Li Jingshan, my eyes lit up. Before he could say anything, Ruan Shu behind him had already snorted, "Miss Li is dressed like this, it's really unrecognizable." ”
Li Jingshan was sitting woodenly with the mentality of becoming righteous and benevolent, and when she heard this, she hurriedly glanced at herself in her glasses. I can't help but sigh that the woman does have a pair of decay into magic...... Ah no, the skillful hand that turns the ordinary into the brilliant.
Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's really good." It's much more pleasing to the eye. ”
The mother-in-law was praised and even more proud, "How many girls have I combed the hair with my mother Chen's hands, I didn't say that I was not satisfied." He turned his head to look at Li Jingshan again, and said with a smile: "This girl's background is good, and she can keep whatever she wants to dress." ”
Li Jingshan hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you, Mother Chen." ”
Ruan Mingyu's raised brows sank, and he couldn't help laughing: It's okay that this girl doesn't speak, as soon as she opens her mouth, she will hit back the prototype. Qing Shui Lingling does not have a bit of wind and dust temperament.
He waved his hand to Chen's mother, "Okay, you go to Fu Bo to pay for the salary." It's time for us to go. ”
------
In the carriage, Ruan Mingyu told Li Jingshan that Li Mingyan helped them string, and she was going to meet the girl Cui Qiao who ordered the head tonight to understand her requirements for jewelry, so she was going to design and build it and deliver it before the year.
Li Jingshan looked down at her clothes, and thought to herself, she was really going to pick up the guest, but the guest she picked up was the Oiran of the Qinglou. Dressed like this, is it to steal the limelight?
As usual, I went to Li Mingyan's house to pick her up first.
Li Mingyan saw Li Jingshan, covered her mouth with a silk fan and smiled: "Ruan Sanshao really rolled out of the pile of fat powder, and he knows a lot about women's makeup. My sister's dress is very timely. ”
Ruan Mingyu glanced at Li Jingshan, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be praised by Sanniang, I can only be regarded as fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
Li Jingshan's heart moved, could it be that this dress was requested by Li Mingyan?
After getting into the carriage, Li Mingyan told Li Jingshan that their guest Cui Qiao was a popular flower in Baihualou in the past two years, and was highly sought after by Cui Zhishu, the same governor of Minzhou Mansion. This time, I wanted to order a face because Master Cui wanted to take her to the "Township Drinking Party".
Before the officials returned to their hometowns on annual leave, the Minzhou government government set up a "township drinking party", which was hosted by the prefect and invited colleagues and local people with high morality. At the banquet, everyone will invite singers and singers to perform fashionable performances, and then they will also evaluate the "leader of a hundred operas" and give magnolia crowns.
This magnolia corolla is tantamount to a laurel crown in the entertainment industry for all singing and dancing girls. How many people emerged with the "Township Drinking Party" at the end of this year, entered the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles, and since then they have taken off their lowly status, been raised in the Shenmen High Court, and started another life.
And Miss Cuiqiao followed Cui Zhishu for two years before he coaxed her to bring her to participate in this township drinking party, just to take advantage of this to soar to the sky, even if she can't win the magnolia crown, it is good to impress any noble person and obtain a good name.
"This Cuiqiao girl has been popular for a few years, has some savings, and is generous. It's just that she has a request for the head of the jewelry. ”
Li Mingyan saw that Li Jingshan was listening carefully, her fingers unconsciously twisted the streamer on the skirt, and she pointed to the dress and said: "She is very picky about jewelry and accessories, every time she comes to order, she brings a maid, wears similar clothes, tries it on the maid, and only makes up her mind after seeing the effect." But this time, she herself was not sure what kind of makeup to wear to attend the banquet. ”
She pursed her lips and smiled: "So I simply threw this problem to Ruan Sanshao." Now it seems that I have made a good move. ”
Ruan Mingyu's smart peach blossom eyes flickered, and he smiled slyly and flamboyantly, "It's easy to say." If this thing is successful, I only hope that Sanniang will have such good things in the future, and the little brother will bring a lot of deeds. ”
While speaking, he has arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence.
Entering the reserved private room, Li Jingshan's eyes lit up again when she saw the legendary patron.
