Chapter 169: The Dowry (I)

After thirty years of wine, Ruan Mingyu picked up the wine glass and took the wine jug to the table to toast, but saw that the main seat of the main table was empty.

Ruan Mingyu smiled slightly. If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. Although his goal was to become the boss of the jewelry in the capital, he didn't plan to get on the bar with Si Zhenfang so soon. It's just that he was provoked, and he didn't have to endure it.

His Ruan Sanshao's principle of being a person has always been to repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness!

When he came out of the drinking party, it was already past the second watch. The night breeze cleared his slightly drunken mind, and he stood at the corner of the street looking at the lanterns in front of the shop, thinking about whether to go to the left to the Ruan family's mansion or to the right back to his own courtyard.

He knew that the news that he had offended Li Zhiqing tonight would soon reach his father's ears. And my father will definitely be killed by this,

He hesitated only for a moment, and then decisively ordered the carriage to go to the left.

----

At this time, in the main house of the Ruan family's mansion, the incense burner was lit with calming sandalwood, and Ruan Jinghong and his wife changed their regular clothes.

Mrs. Ruan added water to the parrot one last time under the porch, and asked idly: "I heard that this time, Ah Yu boldly used the design works of the students of Tianqiao Hall, and they were sold well and won a full house?" ”

Ruan Jinghong looked up from the book and said with a smile, "You want to ask, the work that won the house was designed by Na Li girl, right?" ”

"Is it really her?"

Ruan Jinghong nodded, "I've seen that set of pressed shirts, the idea is ingenious, the composition is ingenious, the color scheme is harmonious and full, and it is very aura." ”

He simply put down the scroll, walked over and picked up the bird food on the side and handed it to his wife, "What is rare is that most of the previous craftsmen designed a complete set of heads, and no one ever thought that the same jewelry design different styles to form a group of jewelry." This kind of unconventional thinking alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

"I'll just say, that girl is really capable." Mrs. Ruan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Ah Yu's vision, when did you make a mistake." ”

Ruan Jinghong shook his head and smiled, "His vision is good." It's just that I don't know if he fell in love with other girls with the eyes of a craftsman or a daughter-in-law. ”

"Yes." Mrs. Ruan's hand was stunned, touching the heart of her heart for many years, and she suddenly said angrily, "It's not your Ruan family who broke the rules!" ”

No matter how reasonable it was before, when it came to this incident, Ruan Jinghong had to admit it, after all, this was what he owed Mrs. Ruan. So I had to laugh and be silent.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ruan just complained casually, and didn't take it seriously, but asked instead, "That's the case."

Girls, you can only choose one, either to be a daughter-in-law or a jewelry master, which one would you rather choose? ”

Ruan Jinghong pondered for a long time before he said, "A good girl is easy to get, but skilled craftsmen are hard to find, I would like to let her be a jewelry master." What about you? ”

Mrs. Ruan pursed her lips disapprerovingly, "I choose a daughter-in-law." ”

"Why?"

Mrs. Ruan put down the long-handled spoon that teased the bird and blinked, "No why, I just like her." ”

At this time, someone outside the door came to report that the third young master had returned.

"What is he doing when he comes back so late? Let him in. ”

The third young master just let the little one pass on and say hello. He went to Mrs. Tai in the backyard. ”

Ruan Jinghong and Mrs. Ruan glanced at each other in surprise, and they both saw a sentence in each other's eyes: If you go to see the old lady so late, you must be tired!

Mrs. Ruan said: "Isn't tonight the regular meeting of the treasurer of the jewelry industry? ”

Ruan Jinghong instructed the outside world, "Tell Chang Yong to come and see me." ”

After a meal, Ruan Jinghong already knew what was happening at the banquet. He calmly asked Chang Yong to withdraw, "This bastard, what are you angry with Si Zhenfang at this time!" ”

Mrs. Ruan smiled, "That's why he didn't come to see us, but went to the old lady to bring rescuers." ”

Old Man Ruan snorted: "The old lady doesn't care about the business field, how can he ......?"

"If you were twenty years younger, you would be able to do this." Mrs. Ruan chuckled, "Is this a business matter, it's just that my own child was bullied, and I went back to my parents to complain." ”

Ruan Jinghong thought about what he did when he was young, and couldn't help laughing, and he had to admit that his wife was right, Ruan Mingyu's behavior was very similar to his young self. He watched Mrs. Ruan sit in front of the dresser and disassemble the hairpin ring, thought for a moment and asked, "Just let this matter go?" ”

"The third child is looking for an old lady, and he didn't look for you, what do you care?" Mrs. Ruan glanced back at her husband, "Do you still want to get your son back on the field and fight back?" ”

Ruan Jinghong laughed, and stepped forward to help his wife untie the earrings, "I saw Fu Zi Sango's earrings in the store that day, and someone will send them to you tomorrow......"

-----

By the end of September, Lai's works had the highest sales volume, winning the first place. In Tianqiaotang's points ranking, there is no doubt that it has reached the top of the list.

This is the first ranking of the second stage of study, which naturally attracts the attention of all students. Everyone congratulated Li Jingshan, but secretly riveted their efforts to catch up with or even surpass her.

"You're a target now," Meng Shu sat in Li Jingshan's room, cutting the autumn water pears sent by Ruan Mingyu into small pieces and eating them with a toothpick. "Everyone wants to knock you down and sit on the top of the designer."

Li Jingshan took a piece of pear from Meng Shu's hand and bit it in her mouth, "Let them go." This ranking is very similar to Ye Qing and Yuan Yu'an's, and the competition in the future will only be carried out among a few of us. ”

"What about Xiaozhuang?"

Li Jingshan smiled, "I heard Ye Qing say that he is a casual character, and now he has drunk Minzhi and set up a marriage, but I am afraid that he still wants to end his studies early so that he can go home and get married." ”

Meng Shu thought of that couple, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, and wanted to say something, but heard the bell ringing outside the school. It was the bell that summoned the students to gather when there was something to do, and usually at this time, either the head of the company came to check on them, or there was an additional order to be arranged for them.

Everyone gathered in Tianqiao Hall, and when they saw Shen Jian Jian coming in with a spring breeze on his face, in addition to the excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed, the corners of his mouth also carried heartfelt joy.

"Miss Yue Qingzi, the lord of Anping County, who has been with you for nearly a year, is about to get married at the end of the year. She asked me to send you an invitation card and invite you to go to King Yue's Mansion for a glass of wine. ”

Everyone only knows that Yue Qingzi has a special identity, but very few people know her identity as the county lord. At this time, Shen Jian's key was broken, and everyone's jaws dropped in shock. When I woke up, I was also excited. After all, it is also an honor to be a classmate with the county lord for a year.

Shen Jian Jian coughed lightly and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "The county lord is grateful for the friendship with everyone, and specially ordered a full set of dowry ornaments in His Excellency Jingbao, and asked the classmates of Tianqiaotang to help design it. I hope everyone will not live up to the expectations and friendship of the county lord. ”

The students fryed the pot again. Being able to design wedding ornaments for the county lord not only allows him to get a rich amount of Xie Yi, but more importantly, this is a rich stroke in the career of a craftsman, and it is even enough to boast of his qualifications for a lifetime.

"This order will be delivered in December, the time is tight, and the quantity is large, and one person will definitely not be able to complete it, so I divided the students into two groups, completed the drawings before October 10, and submitted them to Yue Wangfu for review, and the selected group was responsible for completing this work."

Shen Jian Jian announced the list: Li Jingshan and Meng Shu led one group, and Ye Qing and Yuan Yuan led the other group.

Li Jingshan glanced at Ye Qing with a smile and raised her eyebrows. Ye Qing smiled back and squeezed his fist at her. But Yuan Yu'an stood up and said loudly: "I have a problem." ”

"At that time, when the lord of Yue County was in the school park, he had a good relationship with a few girls. It's not that I doubt Lord Yue's aesthetic quality, it's just that it's normal for people to have a separate relationship. If the county lord only recognizes the designer and does not recognize the jewelry design, our group will not need to work in vain. ”

Although many people have this idea, they didn't expect Yuan Yuan to say it so unceremoniously.

Shen Jiankey's face also sank slightly, and he said unhappily, "You can rest assured, when submitting the manuscript, according to the usual rules, only draft A and draft B will be listed, and the name of the designer will not be written." ”

Yuan Yuan shook his head with satisfaction, "Thank you, Mr. for maintaining justice." ”

"Then please prepare with all your hearts, it can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from our Tianqiao Hall to Lord Yue."

Everyone came out, and Li Jingshan and Meng Shu hugged each other excitedly: "Haha, design a wedding makeup for Yue Qingzi!" At that time, I thought she was telling the truth, but I didn't expect it to be true! ”

"Hey, don't forget that there is also my senior brother." Ye Qing smiled and laughed, "I won't deliberately release water to you." ”

Li Jingshan smiled, "Who wants you to release water!" Even if we weren't selected, wouldn't I be able to go to you and make jewelry for her? ”

"As long as I think that she is wearing the jewelry we make to get married, I am happy." Meng Shu also smiled.

Ye Qing didn't expect these two girls to be so frank, her fingers brushed the end of her nose, and she smiled awkwardly, "Ha, it's me who is in love." ”

"Brother Ye, let's discuss how to design for the county lord." Yuan Yu'an's gloomy voice came from behind him.

Li Jingshan and Meng Shu stuck out their tongues at Ye Qing, ignored Yuan Yu'an at all, and turned to leave.

-----

The design of the dowry for Yue Qingzi has become the highlight of Tianqiaotang in the past two months.

Both groups are doing their best to be the best they can be. Meng Shu and Li Jingshan also went to Yue Wang's Mansion to inquire about the style and fabric of her wedding dress with Yue Qingzi, so as to pay attention to the overall matching of jewelry and clothing.

After coming back, Li Jingshan also told Ye Qing the information she had collected. Ye Qing thanked him, but said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that our group will live up to your kindness." ”

Li Jingshan glanced at him puzzled, but she also knew that Ye Qing was cautious and easily refused to discuss right and wrong. So he smiled lightly, "I'm for you, not for your group, just accept my feelings." ”

The two laughed a few words, and then went to work. Li Jingshan didn't take this matter to heart, but on the second day, she overheard the two students talking about the quarrel between Yuan Yu'an and Ye Qing's group yesterday.
