Naturally, Li Jingshan would not come to the banquet unprepared. She told Ruan Mingyu about this first, but she just wanted him to secretly pay attention to what tricks Li Zhiqing and Si Zhenfang would play.

And Ruan Mingyu flicked the invitation card and said with a soothing smile, "You just have to go to the banquet with peace of mind, I have my own arrangements." ”

Rao is like this, Li Jingshan was still confused when she saw the door of the private room open, and Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Mingyu walked in with an old lady on the left and right.

Li Zhiqing looked at the old lady, her face suddenly changed color, and she was shocked for a while: "You are ...... Old Madam Ruan? He calmed down, and sneered: "I didn't expect that the children of my Li family are so capable that they have shocked the ancestors of the Ruan family. ”

Li Jingshan saw that the old lady was already full of silver hair, but she was in good spirits, and her voice was full of energy. She glanced at Ruan Mingyu suspiciously, but met his smiling eyes and winked at her.

Li Jingshan was also surprised. She remembered that a few months ago, this old ancestor had given Ruan Mingyu a big meal because of the relationship between her and Ruan Mingyu, and now he invited this Buddha to come, but why?

Just when he was puzzled, he heard Old Madam Ruan snort: "Where are the children of your Li family here?" I just heard you say that you don't even let the Li family's ancestral grave enter. ”

Li Zhiqing's face was red and white, and he said with a stalk around his neck, "No matter how you say it, she is also surnamed Li!" Even if she is the craftsman of your Jingbao Pavilion, she can't control our Li family to teach the younger generation. ”

Old Madam Ruan pursed her lips and said, "Then you are wrong again." If Miss Li wants, she will soon be surnamed Ruan. ”

One sentence not only shocked Li Zhiqing's face pale, but also shocked everyone present, only Ruan Mingyu showed a clear smile.

Old Madam Ruan smiled smugly, "Didn't you just say that my Ruan family wouldn't agree to her entering the door?" What a fear of a mere message. Miss Li is not only exquisite, but also has a lofty vision and a firm temperament. Such a strange woman is hard to find in the world, how could my Ruan family be rejected because of that groundless reputation. ”

Li Zhiqing was so red that he was blocked by her, and he was speechless. In the end, he hated and said, "Hmph! She is such a white-eyed wolf who deceives her teacher and betrays her ancestors, your Ruan family is careful to be bitten by her when she arrives! With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Only the Ruan family and Li Jingshan, Meng Shu and others in the Jingbao Pavilion were left in the private room, and the two ladies came forward to meet several members of the Ruan family again.

Li Jingshan leaned in and thanked her: "Thank you to the old lady for relieving the siege of the people." ”

Ruan Mingyu interjected with a smile on the side, "It's still called the old lady, why don't you change your words quickly?" ”

Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and was about to change her name to "grandma" as he said, but Mrs. Ruan raised her hand to stop her and said, "Just now you said that your name will be circulated with your works." From this, you can see that you are a talented and ambitious woman. It's just that your surname is always Lai. ”

Ruan Mingyu hurriedly said: "Grandma......"

Old Madam Ruan glanced at him and continued: "Miss Li, you also know that the Ruan family's family rules were originally established because of the Li family. Although I just promised you and Ah Yu to marry, you are the daughter of the Li family after all, and you are doing top craftsmanship in jewelry design. ”

She looked at Li Jingshan and said slowly: "If you want to marry into the Ruan family as a jewelry designer, it can be said that you have completely violated that family rule." Even if I agree, I'm afraid that the people in the Ruan Family's Old Pavilion will not agree so easily. ”

Ruan Mingyu wanted to say more, but was stopped by Mrs. Ruan's sleeve. The look in his eyes was clear, "You don't want to mess things up, shut up". Ruan Mingyu moved his Adam's apple, and finally swallowed his words back unwillingly.

Li Jingshan looked at Old Madam Ruan calmly, "Since the old lady is willing to use the marriage contract to settle the siege with the younger generation, it must not be to regret it later and stop me and the third young master." How to do it, please ask the old lady to show me. ”

Old Madam Ruan's eyes showed a look of approval, and she nodded: "You are already a craftsman in the court, naturally no one can let you quit the royal errand and get married." If you win Si Zhenfang in the last court competition, then no one in the Jingbao Pavilion can talk about your life and surname. ”

Ruan Mingyu broke free from Mrs. Ruan's pull and shouted, "Grandma, this is not fair! The outcome of the competition is not something you can control Ah Shan, why ask her like this! ”

Old Madam Ruan ignored Ruan Mingyu's words, and only looked at Li Jingshan, "How is it, do you dare to respond?" ”

Li Jingshan looked back at Mrs. Ruan fearlessly, and smiled slowly, "This reminds me of the names of people in the rivers and lakes." It seems that if I want to marry into the Ruan family, I still need to submit a petition to prove my sincerity and loyalty. ”

Li Jingshan dared to speak like this, everyone present was shocked, and even Ruan Mingyu's face changed.

However, Old Madam Ruan's expression was calm, and she only asked lightly: "Even if it is, do you dare to respond?" ”

"I don't usually gamble with my marital happiness," Li Jingshan said quietly, "but this time, I'm willing to gamble!" ”

----

In the midst of all the attention, the final competition between Jingbao Pavilion and Si Zhenfang finally came.

Not only are the jewelry stores watching the decisive contest, but the people are also eagerly awaiting the final result. Without him, many people are more or less betting on this competition in the gambling house. According to the grapevine, most people still believe in the strength of the old Si Zhenfang, and the winning side of the Si Zhenfang accounts for about sixty percent.

When Nguyen Minh Yu entered the palace gate, he met the four princes. He strode over, but skipped Ruan Mingyu, and smiled at Li Jingshan: "Li Niangzi, you have to compete well in this competition, this king has staked two thousand taels of silver on you." ”

Li Jingshan: "...... Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. If the folk girl loses, it seems that she will have to work for His Highness to pay off her debts for the rest of her life. ”

The fourth prince waved his hand haughtily, "That's not necessary. As long as you pay the king a tribute every year with a set of the heads you designed. ”

Li Jingshan is now the master of Zhentang, and she has entered the palace as an errand boy. Her jewelry has been sold for the highest price of the craftsman, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth thousands of gold. The request of the four princes is a sure win.

Li Jingshan bent down and said, "Follow the instructions." ”

The fourth prince blinked and said with a smile, "Ah, you deserve to be so happy, this king doesn't know whether to expect you to win or lose." ”

Li Jingshan smiled happily, "Naturally, it is because the folk girl is sure to win back the two thousand taels of silver for His Highness, so she deserves to be so happy." ”

The fourth prince laughed, "Okay, heroic!" Then the king wishes you victory. ”

Li Jingshan saluted the four princes to leave, looked up at a row of pigeons flying in the blue sky on the red palace wall, and exhaled softly: Today is a good weather, suitable for spreading wings and flying high.

Today's lobby of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not the same as the previous two times. On weekdays, all the desks and chairs in the office were removed, replaced by light yarn with partitions, and a few low cushions. The hall is also decorated with various decorations and potted flowers, just like the decoration of a banquet in the deep palace.

While everyone was wondering, Lan Kwai Fong also arrived with the chief manager of Da Neidu. Everyone was a little noisy, but when they saw that Manager Du was holding the yellow silk that recorded the test questions, he didn't open it, but smiled and said, "This test question, let's ask the concubine to announce it." ”

Everyone was in their hearts, and they had already guessed that the test questions should be related to Lan Guifei.

Sure enough, Lan Guifei said with a smile on her face: "Everyone knows that the eighth day of June is the birthday of the Queen Mother. In the first competition, everyone also designed a birthday gift for the Queen Mother. It's just that although the birthday gift has been prepared, the makeup and accessories for attending the palace banquet that day have not yet been prepared. I had to have two masters, Lao Lao, to design a set of heads and faces suitable for the palace banquet that day. ”

She gently slapped her palms twice, and two palace maids wearing the same style of prosperous palace clothes walked out from behind the screen, similar in shape to Concubine Lan, but with plain faces and scattered hair.

Concubine Lan said with a smile, "This dress is the palace dress to be worn on the day of the palace banquet in this palace, and the two masters have been asked to bother to arrange it." ”

After the concubine finished explaining, Mr. Du took a half step forward and added, "There is only one judge for this competition - Lan Guifei. The competition time is limited to six days, and if it is overdue, it will be withdrawn. Chin this! ”

Li Jingshan took a palace maid into the competition room prepared for her. While she was preparing the sketches, she chatted with the palace maid. However, the palace maid closed her lips tightly, and only shook her head no matter what she asked. Obviously, he was instructed in advance not to reveal the slightest information to the craftsman.

Li Jingshan didn't embarrass her, and pushed the pastries on the table in front of her, "Since you can't chat, you can eat some snacks." ”

She picked up a piece of mung bean cake, took a bite, and said casually: "In my hometown in Minzhou, in addition to making mung bean cake in summer, there are also water chestnut cakes, lotus seed cakes, and acacia flower soup, all of which are the taste of summer. ”

She saw that the palace maid took a red bean cake made in the shape of a small pumpkin, and said with a smile: "There are all kinds of melons and fruits, first put them in the well water and town, and after dinner, pick up a knife and cut it directly to crack, revealing the red flesh inside." I haven't eaten yet, so I'm drunk first. Ah, by the way, there are all kinds of delicacies that are steamed with watermelon......"

She babbled a lot about the way to eat, and the palace maid finally smiled lightly, "No, the most memorable thing in summer is all kinds of food." ”

Li Jingshan took the opportunity to ask, "Dare to ask what the girl is called?" ”

"It's good if you call me Xiao Xia."

After her name was given, Li Jingshan was satisfied, so she stopped chatting and began to bow her head to design the artwork. After painting for a long time, I looked up and saw Xiao Xia sitting next to me watching quietly, with a desire for knowledge in her bright big eyes.

Li Jingshan's heart moved and asked, "Do you want to learn?" Actually, it's not that hard. ”

She casually drew a few patterns commonly used in design, and explained some basic rules, "If you think of or see a beautiful pattern, you can draw it and hand it over to the guys of the Sizhen Bureau to help you create it, which is your own unique jewelry." It's a lot of fun. ”

Xiao Xia looked at her in amazement, but she didn't expect that in such a tight competition time, Li Jingshan would have time to teach her to design jewelry! But looking at the beautiful jewelry artwork, I couldn't take my eyes off it, and asked hesitantly for a while: "Can I take this drawing?" ”

Li Jingshan said with a smile: "All the artwork during the competition is to be sealed. If you like it, I can draw it for you after the competition. ”

She pulled the sketch out, "But you can study the patterns now." ”

Xiao Xia took it and looked at it carefully. From time to time, he leaned over to look at the artwork that Li Jingshan was drawing, and Li Jingshan occasionally pointed out a few words. Unconsciously a day passed, Xiao Xia only had a prototype when she looked at Li Jingshan's sketches, and said guiltily: "It's all the slaves and maids who have slowed down your work, and the slaves and maids will not dare to disturb the lady tomorrow." ”

Li Jingshan smiled pleasantly: "It's okay. It was a pleasure to chat with you. ”
