"Young master, I'm not called a little ghost." Li Jingjue stood up straight dissatisfied, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "My name is Li Jingjue!" It is indeed the eldest son of the Li family, this is my sister Li Jingshan. ”

Ruan Mingyu laughed and said, "It's interesting, it's quite clever." Come and be a little guy with me. ”

Li Jingshan was startled, and before she could answer, she heard Li Jingjue say: "I don't have time, I'm still studying in the study hall now." ”

Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you studying?" Your family...... As it is now, do you still want to gain fame? ”

Although Li Jingjue was young, she heard the strong doubts in his words. He looked at Young Master Ruan blankly, then at his sister, and asked puzzledly, "I, can't I get famous?" ”

And Ruan Mingyu's undisguised contempt stabbed Li Jingshan, and she said coldly: "Young Master Ruan's words are bad. Although I have been sold into slavery, my brother is innocent, and his family is also a serious family, why can't he get famous? ”

Ruan Mingyu was unintentional, he didn't expect to suffer such a fierce protest, he was stunned, raised his eyebrows again in surprise, and said good-naturedly: "Okay, I'm wrong." It's just," he looked at Li Jingjue, "It's not so easy to test your fame, you ...... But you have to work hard. ”

He was going to say, "Can you do it?" Catching a glimpse of Li Jingshan's knife-like eyes, she hurriedly changed her words again.

"I have a lot of work, and my husband used to praise me for being very good at my homework. Didn't you just praise me for reading well! Li Jingjue replied loudly.

"......" Ruan Mingyu was speechless, and Xu Yu couldn't help but laugh again, "Okay, it's a compliment on your good reading!" Then you work hard, your family has to work hard! Then he turned and left.

After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Well, thank you...... Uh, bugs. It's delicious. ”

"It's a bee chrysalis!" Li Jingjue shouted behind him.

Li Jingshan bent her knees and was blessed, and her slightly drooping head covered the corners of her upturned mouth: This young master seems to be ...... It's not as bad as I thought.

The days passed like water. Soon after the Dragon Boat Festival, it was Mrs. Li's birthday.

Li Jingshan gave Sister-in-law Zhang a few dollars of broken silver, asked her to help make a few side dishes, and ordered a bowl of longevity noodles to celebrate her mother at home. After all, these days, bad things come one after another, and some festive things need to be rushed.

Mrs. Li was also very happy, and specially chose brightly colored clothes to wear. After two sips of wine, his face was dyed with some redness, and under the lamp, he showed a little brilliance that had not been seen in the past, and he was in a trance that he was the rich and noble lady who was once pampered.

Li Jingshan took out the well-made pendant and put it on her mother's neck, which really showed a bit of nobility.

Mrs. Li took the pendant and looked at it carefully, and said angrily: "You child, you spend money again!" How much silver does it cost to pay such an expensive ruby! ”

"Mother, this is my sister's heart, where can it be measured by money!" Before Li Jingshan could answer, Li Jingjue had already spoken like a little adult. He knelt down on his knees, respectfully kowtowed to Mrs. Li three times, and said crisply: "I wish my mother good health and all the best!" When I make money in the future, I will also buy beautiful jewelry for my mother and dress you up beautifully! ”

Mrs. Li smiled and helped him up, "Do you want to dress up your mother as an old goblin?" ”

She still felt sorry for the silver, and took off the pendant and said to Li Jingshan: "Mother doesn't need these things now, you better take them and return them, it's not good to keep this silver." ”

Li Jingshan pushed back with a smile, "Mother, I didn't buy this, I built it myself." There's nowhere to return, just keep it. And if there is a shortage of silver, these things can be sold for money, and there will be no loss. ”

"You built it yourself?" Mrs. Li asked in surprise, "Do you still let you go to the Li Family Workshop?" This, that's great...... Your father ...... him."

"No, I did it in the workshop outside." Li Jingshan calmly broke her mother's illusions, "I really want to regain my father's mantle, and there is not only one jewelry store in this world. ”

Mrs. Li pressed her lost heart and hesitated: "It's just that if you don't rely on Si Zhenfang, where will you get the materials?" Even if it is made, who will buy it? ”

Li Jingshan said about the recent preparations, "You don't have to worry about the materials. As for the sales, I went to make a secret observation for a few days, and saw that the customers who came and went were all small households, and they couldn't afford to buy the high-priced gold and silver jewelry of Si Zhenfang, but this kind of jewelry with low prices and strange styles was popular. ”

"I plan to consign it in a gold jewellery workshop after I make it. In addition," Li Jingshan smiled slyly: "I also want to ask the aunts in this courtyard to help make a publicity." ”

"What propaganda?" Li Jingjue came up curiously.

"Come here with your ears." Li Jingshan smiled, and she whispered her plan to her mother and younger brother. Mrs. Li nodded yes again and again. Li Jingjue cheered: "Okay, if it really sells well, I will set up a stall on the street with my mother!" ”

Li Jingshan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll buy you books for the money you can sell!" ”

A few days later, Li Jingshan went to a familiar gold jewelry workshop again, created a lot of earrings and pendants and other small jewelry, and discussed with Uncle He, a craftsman she was already familiar with: "I put these jewelry here and sell them on consignment, and the money I get will be divided with you, do you think it?" ”

Uncle He looked at the jewelry she made, although the workmanship is simple but very exquisite, the materials are ingenious, such as the five-petal plum earrings, the flower, the heart is embedded with a bright red desire, dripping red beads, at a glance I thought it was a coral bead, but after a closer look, I knew that it was a lovesick red bean. The other pieces of jewelry are also made of ingenious materials and have a novel style, which is exactly what the common customers who come here to like.

Uncle He nodded again and again. He originally had a small counter to display samples, but now he just has a place to sell for her, and he can get her 30% of her income for nothing, so there is no reason to disagree.

Li Jingshan thanked: "I'll come back in five days, if the sales are not good, I will take them all, and I won't trouble you." ”

She took a few earrings and bracelets back to the Ruan's house, went to find Sister-in-law Zhang and Chen Wuniang, who had a good relationship on weekdays, and sent those jewelry to them, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of special care from my aunts on weekdays, these gadgets are a little thank you from me, and the aunts don't dislike it, just take them to play." ”

Chen Wuniang saw that it was a rattan bracelet with a simple shape, covered with a thin layer of carved silver ornaments, solemn and elegant. was busy and didn't dare to accept it, and Sister-in-law Zhang pushed it back and said, "You have nothing to do with spending money!" Take it back. ”

Li Jingshan smiled: "This is my own construction, it's not worth a few dollars." If the aunts look good-looking, they help their nieces and nephews among relatives and friends, and say, I just earn handmade money to subsidize the family. If you don't want it, don't you dislike your niece's rough handiwork? ”

The two of them understood, accepted it with a smile, and responded cheerfully: "Done!" I'll go back and tell my sisters. ”

Li Jingshan thanked her sincerely, and several people laughed again, and then they went to work.

Today, it is rare for the young master to have dinner at home, Li Jingshan arranged the dishes finely as usual, put them in the food box, and handed them to Zhen'er with her own hands.

When Zhen'er took over, she looked at Li Jingshan's earrings and smiled: "My sister's earrings today are really chic." ”

Li Jingshan was wearing the earrings with five plums and red beans. She happened to have a one-to-one in her hand, so she took it out and handed it to Zhen'er and said, "If my sister likes the gadgets she made, take them to play." ”

"Oops, that's embarrassing." Zhen'er took it happily, but she excused herself.

Li Jingshan smiled lightly: "It's not worth much." ”

Zhen'er smiled with relief: "Then I'm welcome." Thank you sister! Immediately removed the original pearl stud earrings and put on the new earrings.

"Beautiful." Li Jingshan praised sincerely.

-----

When she arrived at the main room, when Zhen'er put the dishes on the table, she bowed her head in front of Ruan Mingyu intentionally or unintentionally.

Young Master Ruan took a look at it, and said with a smile: "These earrings are beautiful." I'll see. His slender fingers tapped Jane's chin lightly, turning her face to his eyes.

Zhen'er's eyes met the pair of radiant peach blossom eyes, and her face instantly turned red, and she lowered her eyelashes shyly.

"I thought it was red coral beads, but it turned out to be acacia beans." Young Master Ruan chuckled and said, "It's interesting, where did it come from?" ”

"Yes...... It was the slave who happened to see it in the shop. Zhen'er hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Oh? Where's the little shop? ”

"Slave maid...... I can't remember. Zhen'er said.

Ruan Mingyu's eyes glanced at her sharply, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "It's okay." Dinner. However, when he saw the dishes on the table, his face sank slightly.

The dishes on the table are messy and not patterned at all.

"Who made this dish today?" Ruan Mingyu's voice was slightly deep.

"It's still Ah Shan from the kitchen," Zhen'er looked at Ruan Mingyu's unkind face and hesitated slightly, "Is it the wrong dish?" I'll ask. ”

"No, it's fine." Ruan Mingyu regained his warm smile, as if nothing had happened, picked up the bowl and began to drink the soup.

However, Ruan Mingyu was obviously not in high spirits at this meal, and he only used a lot of it before he was called out. After Zhen'er cleaned up the table and withdrew, Ruan Mingyu immediately called, "Ah Mo." ”

Ruan Mo stepped forward silently. Ruan Mingyu whispered a few words in his ear, and Ruan Mo nodded slightly and went out. Ruan Mingyu rested for a while, and also took Ruan Shu out of the Ruan family's courtyard.

Over there, Zhen'er packed up her things and left the Ruan family's courtyard.

She was the only maid in Young Master Ruan's room, and she didn't have much time to go out. But usually Young Master Ruan is more to call the two little guys around her, and only ask her to do some rough work of passing and cleaning up, so Fu Bo allowed her to occasionally go out to let off steam.

And Zhen'er loves beauty, and her favorite thing to visit is the rouge jewelry store. Today, she walked to the fat powder shop as usual, and found that she had gained a lot of attention when she walked on the road. She naturally knew that she was good-looking, and today's new earrings made her look even better, and she raised her head proudly.

When she arrived at the fat powder shop, the maid who sold the fat powder also praised her for the beauty of the earrings, as if she asked where she bought them.

Zhen'er smiled: "I didn't buy it, my sister gave it to me!" ”

As he was talking, a crisp voice next to him said, "Girl, can you give me these earrings?" ”
