The official carried the long table, and Ruan Minh Yu laid out the jewelry in the box one by one. Those bitter lords hulala came up, and Li Jingshan explained beside her: "The real gilt jewelry is smeared with layers of gold clay, and then the mercury used as a solvent is baked at a low temperature. Gold is integrated into the carcass. Therefore, the color is uniform and realistic, and can last for thousands of years. ”

Real and fake jewelry are placed together, and the judgment is made. The crowd was in an uproar.

"The most important thing," Li Jingshan picked up a butterfly and shook it, guiding everyone to look at the mark on it: "All the gilded jewelry of the Treasure Pavilion have such a 'Shan' mark. Please be sure to recognize it. ”

At this point, the sufferers really believed that they had been deceived by profiteers, and they were filled with righteous indignation for a while.

The woman suddenly rushed to the front of the hall and cried, "My lord, I bought this hairpin in Spider Alley, and it cost more than one or two silver, you have to call the shots for us!" ”

The wind in the hall is turning.

All the bitter lords reported where they bought the fakes, and they demanded that the prefect severely punish those lawbreakers who made and sold counterfeits.

"The grass people also implore the adults to severely punish these shameless juniors, return the gilt jewelry, and return my Jingbao Pavilion a clean slate!" Ruan Mingyu said loudly.

What the people want, the prefect of Fang was happy to sell this favor to the people, and immediately sent people to investigate and deal with these illegal traders.

Ruan Mingyu solemnly waved at the prefect of the other party, turned to face the onlookers outside the lobby, and his voice changed, "The jewelry of the shop has been imitated so much that fakes have emerged in endlessly, and it is also because of the love of the old folks!" ”

He waved his hand elegantly and saluted, "In order to thank everyone, from today, all gilt jewelry will be sold at a 20% discount within half a month, and everyone is welcome to enter the store to buy!" And teach you how to distinguish real and fake gilt jewelry in the store. ”

There was thunderous applause outside!

Jiang Yuelan and Li Mingyan also stepped forward with a smile and announced the same decision.

Li Jingshan looked at the high-spirited Ruan Mingyu with admiration on the side, and sighed in her heart, this person is really a genius, any crisis in his hands can be turned into an opportunity to promote himself, no matter where he is, he can be used as a stage for his own achievements.

Simply a natural PR expert!

Li Jingshan turned her eyes and saw that Li Zhixuan had quietly withdrawn from the crowd and walked out of the yamen in a gloomy manner. Xie Baizi walked over to her, his eyes full of approval, "Ah Shan, I take back my previous words." You dare to think and do more than before, and you have the courage to innovate. Break out of this world, and you can comfort your father's spirit in heaven. ”

Li Jingshan hurriedly thanked her.

Xie Baizi nodded and continued: "It's just that I still say that, your design is novel, but your craftsmanship is ordinary. A single gilding process does not last long. You need to expand your craft expression. ”

Li Jingshan was silent. Xie Baizi's words didn't like it, but he hit the nail on the head every time.

The jewelry craftsmanship is broad and profound, and the crafts such as carving seals, dotting emeralds, and burning blue have been developed and complete, and they are beautiful. At that time, Miss Li was only a rudimentary craft in Si Zhen Fang, which was not enough to stand out in the design of her works.

Although Lai Ching-shan was also aware of this disadvantage, she was too busy to make a living and did not consider the issue of further study. Now that Xie Baizi proposed it, she couldn't help but be greatly moved. She was silent for a moment, and was deeply blessed by Xie Baizi, and said ashamedly: "Thank you master for mentioning it." I...... Will pay attention in the future. ”

Xie Baizi is only obsessed with jewelry research, and he is not very familiar with human feelings. But after several incidents, I vaguely guessed that Li Da didn't like Li Jingshan.

He sighed and said, "Since you still call me master, if you have any doubts in the future, you can come to me." ”

His eyes were slightly cold, and he said: "The Li family workshop is the Li family workshop, I am me!" After that, he nodded to Li Jingshan before turning around and leaving.

Not far from the yamen of the state capital, it is where the school is located. There was also a crowd of people in front of the door. Li Jingshan remembered that today is also the release date of the entrance exam.

She hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, and saw Li Jingjue's name at a glance, and she was still in the top three! The corners of her mouth curled, she withdrew with a smile, took two steps, and met Li Jingjue who flew over, hugged her and laughed and jumped: "Sister! I'm in! Haha, I'm in! ”

Li Jingshan made trouble with him for a while, looked up at the bright summer sun, and smiled with satisfaction. She turned her head to look at the waiting carriage on the side, Ruan Mingyu leaned against the wall of the carriage with her hands folded, and also looked at him and smiled. The smile as warm as the sun made her cheeks blush inexplicably.

------

After the confrontation in the state capital, the sales of gilt jewelry once again set off a small upsurge. The three stores under Jingbao Pavilion seized this opportunity to launch a batch of new products, and at the same time specially arranged for men to explain to customers how to distinguish real and fake gilt jewelry. It attracted more customers to the store to watch and buy.

Originally, after the Dragon Boat Festival, it was the off-season for the sales of jewelry, but now the business is unexpectedly booming, which makes several shopkeepers smile.

And in this good form, in the backyard of the Jingbao Pavilion, Li Jingshan took the jewelry design plan for the next issue and found Ruan Mingyu.

Li Jingshan propped up the edge of the desk, looked at Ruan Mingyu condescendingly, and asked, "Shaodong, can you buy a mountain?" ”

Ruan Mingyu took a sip of tea from the teacup and raised his eyes slowly, "Why, Brother Ling just took the exam and felt that the courtyard was not enough to live?" Can you live on a mountain? ”

Li Jingshan secretly rolled her eyes, ignored Young Master Ruan's sarcasm, and said seriously: "If you can buy that mountain, I have a way to make it a golden mountain." ”

Ruan Mingyu put down the teacup and sat upright, "Which mountain?" ”

"The mines that produce this crystal." Li Jingshan put a small bag of ore on the table, and the crystal clear stone shimmered in front of Ruan Mingyu's eyes.

Ruan Mingyu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his smile became bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help laughing, "You are really a treasure!" Okay, young master, I'll buy you a mountain and come back! ”

"I have one condition." Li Jingshan said quietly.

"You say."

Li Jingshan's palms were sweating, and she said resolutely: "These crystal stones were discovered by my eldest brother Li Zhang, and the crystals I used in the early stage were also picked by him for me." I would like to ask the young master to arrange a steward position for him and let him manage the mines. ”

She quietly wiped her hands behind her back, "He has a generous personality, is honest and hardworking, and he is also kind and kind...... She whispered more and more under Ruan Mingyu's gaze, and finally turned her heart sideways, and said cheekily: "You just sell me a favor, he has helped me so much, I can't help but repay him!" ”

That mountain was the hunting place for hunters like Li Zhang, and most of their lives depended on it. If it is mined as a mine, it will inevitably affect their livelihoods.

Therefore, Li Jingshan must find a new way to live for Li Zhang's family first. As for the other hunters whose livelihoods have been cut off...... When it's time to really mine, persuade the young master to recruit more hunters to be miners.

Just as Li Jingshan was about to play tricks on Lai and ask the young master to agree, Ruan Mingyu grinned, "You said it so simply and clearly, wouldn't it be good?" Why do you have to talk to me about so many calves? Okay, I promise you. ”

"Young Master Xie!" Li Jingshan was overjoyed.

Ruan Mingyu raised half of his eyebrows, "How can you thank you?" ”

Li Jingshan's heart skipped half a beat, and she tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, but she didn't know that the blush on her face had appeared. He tried his best to calm down: "Help you turn it into a real mountain of gold." ”

"It doesn't count." Ruan Mingyu stood up, leaned forward, approached Li Jingshan's face through the bookcase, and said very softly in her ear: "I solved the problem, your people, should you also compensate me alone?" ”

The breath with the fragrance of tea gently blew the hair in Li Jingshan's ears, and she was so shocked that she took a step back as if she had been burned, "Young master! You, you're going to ......"

Ruan Mingyu's conspiracy succeeded, and he laughed happily. After laughing enough, he said: "Look at you, are you afraid that I will eat you?" Jiang University rarely sees the explanation of the real and fake gilding process we set up here, which can attract customers. I'm going to borrow you for two days to give a lesson to his staff. I'll just say yes to you. ”

Li Jingshan's face was flushed with teasing, she was ashamed and annoyed, but she couldn't help it. gritted his teeth for a long time, and said hatefully: "If the young master wants to talk about things, he will say things seriously." Don't pretend to be a ghost. ”

Nguyen Minh Yu sat in the meeting position, his elbows propped on the table, and his fingers crossed. A pair of peach blossom eyes were shining with stars, and the corners of his mouth were curled and said, "Why didn't I say it seriously?" Or, what do you want me to say that you teach me? ”

"......" Li Jingshan understood one thing. In terms of flirting rank, he will never be Young Master Ruan's opponent. She simply expressed her dissatisfaction with her actions: wrapped up those spars, and walked out of the side hall in a huff!

Ruan Mingyu watched her walk out with a smile, and when she walked to the door, she raised her voice and said, "Your "Goddess Spirit" jewelry should be quickly taken out of the design draft." The master from the capital will arrive in a few days. ”

Li Jingshan was stunned, and responded angrily: "Got it!" "Quicken your pace and walk yourself.

Ruan Mingyu's gaze followed the slender waist and swayed, and suddenly raised her eyebrows, this girl has been learning from Li Sanniang for a while, and she has slowly cultivated it, and even a back has brought out a bit of style.

-------

In the days that followed, Lai Ching Shan and Nguyen Minh Yu were each busy with the crystal matter.

Li Jingshan naturally poured her sketches, so that before the arrival of the master of the general number, she would hand over a set of crystal jewelry as "homework". And Ruan Mingyu used all kinds of means to buy the mine that produced crystals.

That mountain belongs to the management of Linquan County under the jurisdiction of Minzhou Prefecture, and it was originally a barren mountain. Usually, except for hunters who go in to hunt, few people set foot in it.

Ruan Minh Yu concealed his true purpose, and the reason for the purchase was that the abundant Bodhi seeds on the mountain were the raw materials for his mass production of Bodhi Buddha beads, and in order to expand production, he planned to plant Bodhi trees on the mountain, and it would be convenient to manage and pick them after they were bought.

Originally, it was not a troublesome matter, but the Ma County Order of Linquan County was Li Jingyao's father-in-law and Ma Jirong's father-in-law!
