Chapter 187: Trouble
"It seems that the hero sees something the same thing. Zhang Shangshu, let's open the drum, is the tray on the right from the palace treasures workshop, or the work of the treasure pavilion outside the palace? The four princes looked at the tray and couldn't wait.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally stepped forward and uncovered the wooden plaque on the tray, which was lightly engraved with the words "Jingbao Pavilion".
The fourth prince laughed, "This Jingbao Pavilion really lives up to expectations!" ”
The officials of the Ministry of Rites echoed one after another, "This Jingbao Pavilion is also very powerful, and it can even compete with the royal treasures." ”
The fourth prince remembered the two jade plaques carved by Li Jingshan, and smiled mysteriously, "There are masters in their family." After that, he ordered the fixed ritual vessel to be handed over to the emperor for inspection, and prepared to welcome Chu Tiankuo's Zhenyuan army back to the court.
----
When the news of Jingbao Pavilion's winning the business of the Ministry of Rites was transmitted back to the headquarters store, Li Jingshan was in the back room reviewing the jewelry artwork handed in by the craftsmen and integrated into the style of the military camp.
"Miss Li, we're hit, we're win!" The shopkeeper hurried in, so excited that he couldn't even speak.
"What's the hit?" Li Jingshan was stunned and said, they don't need to go to the imperial examination to sell jewelry, quickly changed their minds, understood, and stood up excitedly, "You mean, the military ritual was selected by the palace, right?" ”
The guy nodded desperately. After being happy for a while, he finally straightened out his thoughts and said happily: "We can also pick up the emperor's errand in our store!" What a great honor! ”
"And these jewelry about the design of the barracks!" Li Jingshan's mind turned fast, and she lifted her skirt and ran to the shopkeeper's duty room, "Just take advantage of this good publicity momentum to create a wave of momentum." ”
Ran to the yard and happened to meet Ruan Mingyu who came in, Ruan Mingyu smiled, stretched out his hand to take the person into his arms, and picked him up and spun around a few times.
"My vision has never been wrong, and my lady is the best." When he put the person down, Ruan Mingyu's lips were pressed to Li Jingshan's ear, and he exhaled and said softly.
Li Jingshan was hugged by him in front of the public, and her face was already red, and now she was even more red to the base of her neck. As soon as she landed, she hurriedly broke away from his embrace, peeked to both sides from the corner of her eye, and saw that everyone was immersed in the joy of the ritual being chosen, and smiled, and did not particularly care about the shopkeeper's outrageous behavior, so she relaxed a little.
"Big shopkeeper, we can just take advantage of the momentum of this cooperation with the imperial court to make a big wave of publicity for our newly designed military camp series of jewelry." Li Jingshan took the opportunity to bring up the topic and divert everyone's attention.
Ruan Mingyu smiled, "Exactly, such a God-given opportunity." I was about to summon the heads of office into the council chamber to discuss the matter. He stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Li Jingshan's slender waist, "Let's go, let's go in first and wait." ”
Li Jingshan froze in front of everyone, and walked into the conference hall with Ruan Mingyu.
----
The topics of the people in the capital in recent days are all about Chu Tiankuo, the general of Zhenyuan who is about to return to the dynasty, and his Zhenyuan army. And the Jingbao Pavilion, which was fortunate enough to design military ceremonies for the imperial court, also rose with the tide, and the number of customers increased by more than 30% compared to usual. In particular, the newly launched "Zhengrong" series of jewelry in the store, with a sassy atmosphere, is favored by boudoir girls.
Miniature ear bells in the style of shoulder swallowing and belly swallowing, improved hairpins with gluttonous patterns and sinister patterns, and even the sons and sons of the military generals family came to see Yuhu and Yuzhang. The booming business made the directors can't keep their mouths shut.
On this day, Chang Yong, who was in charge of the accounts, took the account book of the month and made accounts with him in Ruan Mingyu's duty room, but saw the guy running in in a panic and said, "Big shopkeeper, someone is coming, coming to make trouble!" ”
Chang Yong exclaimed, "Who is so bold as to dare to come to Jingbao Pavilion to make trouble?" ”
"Yes, it's a middle-aged man dressed as a few wealthy businessmen."
Chang Yong and Ruan Mingyu glanced at each other, "Go and take a look." ”
The two came to the store hall and saw several middle-aged people wearing silk brocade, shouting in front of the counter.
A man in a black silk shirt held a three-color inlaid treasure crown with his fingertips, and sneered: "You three types of gems, dare to use them to inlay jade crowns?" This material is only suitable for building walls. ”
The man with lake silk and blue satin next to him picked up a jade bracelet, "And this bracelet, the crack is so obvious, but it is marked as a first-class product." Are you coaxing those wronged people who don't know the goods? ”
Someone next to him responded: "Hey, this is a big bully!" ”
Those few people sang and picked bones in the eggs, and the other customers didn't know why, and they had already gathered a lot of people to watch the excitement, and even pointed at the items in the Treasure Pavilion, half-believing and agreed.
Those people watched someone cheer and performed harder and harder. The man in the black silk robe was pointing to a hundred bats, and he said a lot, "There is also this silk craftsmanship, the layout is messy, and the lines are uneven. ”
The people around laughed arrogantly.
"Naturally it's good. It's just that the layman who can't tell the difference between the silk saving and the wire twisting process is embarrassed to talk nonsense here! ”
A cold voice came in, as if pouring ice water on the boiling pot, instantly cooling the atmosphere. The black silk shirt looked up in shock, and his face immediately changed - when the man arranged for him to come over, didn't he say that this Shura was not in the store?
"Li Laosan, did someone buy your pants in Wanglong Casino and let you come here to splash?" Ruan Mingyu strode over and raised his hand to give him a slap.
"Do you think that after changing the skin of brocade, the core inside will know what silk and filigree are, and you can distinguish between Nanhong and Feiyu? Who borrowed your bear bile and dared to stir up trouble in my Jingbao Pavilion! ”
That Li Laosan covered half of his face, like a deflated ball, and said with a shy smile, "Third Young Master, I really don't know that you are a Buddha here, otherwise I won't dare to come if I borrow ten more guts." "I turned around and pulled people and wanted to slip.
"You bastard want to slip away when you get into trouble?" Ruan Mingyu folded the fan in his hand and blocked the way, "Believe it or not, if you enter the Wanglong Gambling House again, your legs will be discounted." ”
"Third Young Master, Ruan Da Bodhisattva," Li Laosan cried with a sad face, and pleaded, "You have a lot, you know what kind of family background I have, today's confusion is also instigated by others, so you will spare this little one." ”
"By whom?"
Li Laosan looked around in embarrassment, and said hesitantly, "Third Young Master, if I say it, I will be killed when I go back." It's just that if you think about it, it's not difficult to know who your store has been recruiting to provoke and who is in the way of whom. ”
Ruan Mingyu nodded, "Okay, I know." Seeing that the bastard wanted to squeeze past him again, he pressed his arm down, "You ruined my store's reputation like this, and you're leaving?" ”
Li Laosan was almost hit on the head by his folding fan again, and almost cried, "Then what else can I do?" "As soon as my knees weakened, I was about to kneel.
Ruan Mingyu used a folding fan under his arm, "You just said, what kind of jade is my crown used?" ”
Li Laosan was finally a scoundrel in the market, his eyes were still there, and he was busy saying: "This is top-grade jade, top-notch!" ”
"Hmph, you don't know how to read." Ruan Mingyu picked up the jade crown, unfolded the fan, put the jade crown on the plain white fan, and approached the light, and the light reflected colorful light on the colored jade, which was gorgeous and colorful. The crowd was stunned and let out an exclamation.
"This is a design that uses a good goddess spirit spar and is finely cut so that the gem can reflect colorful light. If you wear it at night to participate in a banquet, it will show the colorful light that you see under the light, like a circle of Buddha light around the top, which is beautiful. ”
Ruan Mingyu saw that there were more and more onlookers, and he was secretly happy. It's a great time to get the word out. picked up the hundred-bat head again, stared at Li Laosan, and asked, "What kind of craft did you just say?" ”
Li Laosan knew that he was determined to trust today, so he had to cooperate, "This is ...... I just heard the young master say, it's not silk saving, but filigree? ”
"It's a tire. In fact, they are all metalworking techniques, but the techniques used are different. The silk is rough, and the tired silk is delicate, and it is mostly used to express fine objects and things such as insect flowers and stamens. ”
Ruan Mingyu gently flicked the petals that were as thin as cicada wings, and said with a smile: "And here we deliberately use an irregular tired silk technique, just to show the appearance of flowers swaying in the wind." ”
Everyone looked at the fluttering petals and suddenly realized it.
Ruan Mingyu introduced the new products on sale recently one by one at the counter, and Li Laosan, as a competent praise role, also feasted his eyes. So much so that in the end, he almost forgot his original true purpose, and blurted out praise: "The third young master really let our chief see!" If we have two dollars in our pockets, we will definitely pick one and buy it back to coax the mother-in-law at home. ”
Other customers who received some free "training" immediately rushed to the counter, picked up those exquisite jewelry and looked at them carefully, and many people immediately paid for it painfully.
Ruan Mingyu knocked Li Laosan's head with a folding fan, and his eyes were instantly cold, "You go back and tell your patron, don't use such a trick for the second time, otherwise I, Ruan Sanshao, will not be a vegetarian." If he doesn't understand my ways, you might as well tell him. ”
Li Laosan's cold sweat was about to drip down again. Ruan Mingyu, who he knew, was now the big shopkeeper of the Jingbao Pavilion, and when he was a teenager, he didn't wander around the market, and he got acquainted with a lot of people from the three sects and nine ranks. The most widely spread is that this Ruan Sanshao is a ruthless character who retaliates with a tooth for a tooth, and he never suffers a secret loss.
If he hadn't lost hard in the gambling house today, he was coaxed by that person to say that Ruan Mingyu was not in the store, and he was blinded by money and came to make trouble. Otherwise, he would not dare to go wild in front of Ruan Mingyu if he was killed.
Hurriedly nodded and smiled, "Understood." Thank you, young master, for sparing your life. The little ones don't dare anymore, don't dare! Your words must be brought. ”
After speaking, like a rabbit being chased by a dog, he quickly ran out of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion.
Ruan Mingyu sneered and watched the people run away, and the folding fan of "picturesque rivers and mountains" was unfolded in front of his chest. Although Li Laosan didn't dare to say who instructed him to do it, the hint was already very obvious.
It's just that I didn't expect Si Zhenfang, a century-old store with such a statement of Xuanhe, to use this kind of indiscriminate tricks to find trouble, isn't it too cheap? He wants to see if they will still act and react when such cruel words are released.
