Chapter 80: Lantern Festival
The two of them unconsciously walked to the door of Si Zhenfang. Li Jingshan looked at her mother, "Mother, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
Mrs. Li smiled indifferently, "If you want to see it, you can go." It's no different to me nowadays than any other jewelry store. ”
Li Jingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and was worried that her mother would touch the scene. Now it seems that he is too worried. She took her mother's hand and walked into the Si Zhen Fang proudly.
Unexpectedly, Si Zhenfang did not have the pomp and circumstance she imagined, and it was not even as lively as the shops she had seen before. Li Jingshan remembered the excitement when Li Zhixuan took over the helm of Si Zhenfang, compared with the current situation, it was really a judgment.
When the shopkeeper saw the customer enter the door, he hurriedly accosted him: "The two ladies are please, what jewelry do you want to see?" ”
"I'll greet these two people, you go and do something else."
The guy saw that it was Li in charge of the design workshop, so he hurriedly sang a song and stepped aside.
Li Jingyao is wearing a silver-red high-waisted skirt, wearing a hairpin inlaid with treasure, and a fleur-de-lis on her forehead, which is very suitable for the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. However, right now, there is a green shadow that can't even be covered by fat powder, and a fat powder floating on the surface. Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that her makeup is just to hide her haggard complexion.
Li Jingyao walked up to Li Jingshan's mother and daughter like a proud peacock, and said coldly: "You, a traitor to the Li family, are you going to see a joke when you come to Si Zhenfang now?" ”
Now in the New Year's Festival, with her mother by her side, Li Jingshan didn't want to have more verbal disputes with her, so she only said lightly: "Si Zhenfang has nothing to do with our family for a long time, what jokes are there to see?" ”
"You've teamed up with your treacherous boss to bring down our Si Zhen Fang!" Li Jingyao's face looked hideous because of anger, "Now that you see the decline of our Si Zhenfang, are you happy?" Satisfied? ”
Li Jingshan stood in front of her mother, blocking Li Jingyao's fangs and claws, looking at her fearlessly, and responding, "There is nothing to be happy about." Si Zhenfang is my father's brainchild, and now it has fallen to this point, and the culprit is not me! ”
"You! Do you still have the face to say?! Li Jingyao looked at her in shock.
"It's you who should be shameless!" Li Jingshan was annoyed by her attitude, she waved her hand, "I don't have to take a closer look, the style of the gold ornaments on the counter over there is still the same as when your father first took over the helm of Si Zhenfang, right?" There are also these small pieces, and the style has long been outdated. ”
She took a step forward, almost seeing the depths of Li Jingyao's eyes, and forced her to look at her word by word: "Aren't you in charge of the design workshop?" What have you done in the past two years? ”
Li Jingyao was scolded by his father again for this matter a few years ago, and now he was questioned by Li Jingshan again, so he couldn't help but take a step back in a panic, and his back was pressed against the edge of the counter, so he had some confidence.
"What are you arrogant! You're just a pheasant who goes the wrong way. At the Saibao conference, I will show you what is the orthodox jewelry design! Li Jingyao stiffened her neck and glared back.
Li Jingshan ignored her intimidation, retreated to her mother's side, and said with a faint smile: "Then I'll wait and see, what kind of surprise can you give me and the entire Minzhou jewelry industry." Ignoring her, he took his mother's hand and walked out of Si Zhenfang.
After leaving Si Zhen Fang, Li Fu asked worriedly: "Shan'er, after all, Si Zhen Fang has a hundred years of craftsmanship, are you sure that you will participate in that Saibao Conference?" ”
Li Jingshan lowered her head and rubbed Mrs. Li's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Mother, can't you trust your daughter?" ”
Mrs. Li looked at her confident, put her mind at ease, rubbed the top of her hair and smiled, "That's good." Mother believes in you. Then he looked at the thin clouds in the sky and sighed: "If your father can see your appearance, I don't know how happy he should be." ”
Li Jingshan straightened up, also looked at the sky, and said firmly: "I will definitely not embarrass my father!" ”
----
The days in the New Year pass quickly, and suddenly it is the Lantern Festival. This festival is no less lively than Zhengdan, and even more prosperous because of the lantern festival at night.
Jingbao Pavilion deliberately closed half a day in advance to celebrate the holiday for the staff in the store. Li Jingshan did not have a social meeting today, so she stayed in the warehouse for a while, planning to clear the goods before going home.
"Ah Shan, are you still here?"
Li Jingshan looked up and saw Ruan Mingyu poking his head through the curtain. He was still covered in a big cover, apparently just coming back from outside.
"These books are not in a hurry, so let's take them first." He came in and closed the pair of goods in front of Li Jingshan, and reached out to pull her, "Go back and change your clothes, I'll wait for you in the store." ”
Li Jingshan stood up helplessly, and walked out with him, "If the young master wants me to accompany me to socialize, please let me know as soon as possible next time, so that the little girl can have a time to sweep her eyebrows and make up." ”
Ruan Mingyu turned his head to look at her, "Didn't I tell you earlier?" You also promised to accompany me on a good journey! ”
What?
Li Jingshan thought about it, it was indeed the day of the New Year, and the young master said that he wanted her to accompany her to the great luck.
It's just that...... The promise you made on the first day of the new year, you always stay until the fifteenth, and then ask to fulfill it?
Li Jingshan looked at Ruan Mingyu's slightly smug smile, and also smiled, "I know now, what is called, I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth." ”
Ruan Mingyu also laughed, "I don't know why don't you go quickly." ”
Li Jingshan happily responded and went home from the side door of the Treasure Pavilion to change her clothes. Her face flushed and the corners of her mouth curled. "The willow tops on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk", the Lantern Festival, but it is a festival for lovers to date.
She carefully groomed herself, picked out a moon-red cloud-covered gauze jacket skirt, thought about it, and still brought the acacia bean earrings. Before going out, I looked forward to it in front of the mirror, and the girl in the mirror had willow eyebrows and peach cheeks, and her eyes were like spring water - a young girl who was going to meet her lover.
She went to the front hall and reported to Mrs. Li, "Mother, I went out with Young Master Ruan and didn't eat at home." ”
Mrs. Li stopped the needle and thread in her hand, looked up and asked, "Didn't you say that there was no entertainment today?" ”
"Hmm...... It's not socializing. Li Jingshan pinched the corner of her clothes, not wanting to lie to her mother, but she didn't know how to explain, "The young master asked me to accompany him...... Go for great luck. ”
Mrs. Li put the sewing basket aside, walked to her side, looked into her eyes intently, and asked, "What kind of luck do you have for today's Lantern Festival?" Shan'er, you tell Wei Niang honestly, are you ...... with Young Master Ruan? ”
"Mother! I didn't. Li Jingshan eagerly denied it, but her eyes were a little evasive.
Seeing it in her eyes, Mrs. Li couldn't help but sigh, and said with a slight bow: "Go ahead, have fun." Seeing her daughter fly out like a butterfly, she added uneasily, "Be careful." ”
Li Jingshan looked back at the door and smiled, "Mother, I understand!" ”
Mrs. Li could only smile bitterly when she watched her walk away, she couldn't help her mother, let alone such an assertive daughter.
Li Jingshan came out of her yard and unexpectedly saw Ruan Mingyu waiting at the door, and when she saw her, her eyes lit up. He hid his appreciation in his eyes, and only smiled faintly, "Yes, Li Sanniang has made a lot of contributions." ”
Ruan Mingyu was about to step forward, but saw a small hair ball spinning around at Li Jingshan's feet, meowing and screaming. He looked curiously, "This is the kitten picked up on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”
Li Jingshan leaned over and picked it up, touched it in her arms, and said with a smile: "Look, it's still pretty when it's cleaned." ”
The kitten is golden and is gradually revealing a beautiful tiger skin pattern. It's round and cute.
Ruan Mingyu smiled: "Well, not bad, like you." ”
Li Jingshan was unconvinced: "Where am I like a cat?" ”
Ruan Mingyu reached out to touch the little furball, and the kitten seemed to remember that he had disliked it, and now he twisted his head to the side in disgust and ignored him.
"Reserved, arrogant," Ruan Mingyu smiled: "Yo, still hold grudges." It's really like the owner. ”
Also, when you get out of the predicament and wash away the dust, you will bloom with the essence of beauty.
He poked his finger at the kitten's round head, "What's your name?" It's better to call ......"
Li Jingshan preemptively said: "It's not called Huang Mao!" She looked at Ruan Mingyu's playful smile and argued, "People have a name, Ah Jue said that it has a golden coat, and it was called Golden Silk Tiger in ancient times, I think it is too long, so I call him Jin Amber." ”
Ruan Mingyu snorted, it turned out that this style of chewing words is in the same vein. He looked at the comfortable appearance of the cat curled up in Li Jingshan's arms, and inexplicably felt a little jealous, "You don't want to go out with it, do you?" ”
"Ah, no." Li Jingshan put the cat on the ground and waved her hand proudly, "Let's go, you have a bag for this girl tonight!" ”
Poof-Ruan Mingyu almost didn't burst out laughing, this Nizi's words seemed to be said by the female bandit who entered the Qing Pavilion to find a small and stubborn woman.
Belch...... When I think about it this way, don't I get into it. Ruan Mingyu touched his nose and followed with the corners of his mouth curled.
The golden red sun has set, and it is the time when the lights are on and the restaurants are bustling.
Lai Ching Shan and Nguyen Minh Yu walked to two wine shops, both of which were overcrowded. Li Jingshan's eyes turned, and she turned her head to Young Master Ruan and smiled: "Young Master, you have almost tasted all the dishes in the major restaurants and restaurants in Minzhou City, why don't you take the slave maid to taste different food?" ”
Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows, "Is there any delicacy here that I haven't tasted?" ”
"Look!" Li Jingshan blinked mysteriously, took the lead, and took Young Master Ruan through the crowd, turning into an alley on the side of the main street.
After walking a short distance, the front was suddenly full of people, and the side streets were crowded with food stalls one after another, a few bamboo poles propped up a simple shed, and a few dilapidated tables and chairs were placed below, and a large pot was supported next to it.
What is rare is that there are many diners!
"Young Master, this is the ......" Li Jingshan turned around with great interest, but saw Young Master Ruan's stunned expression. She swallowed and swallowed the last word back.
"Otherwise, let's go back to the restaurant and wait for a table......" Before Li Jingshan's words were finished, she heard the young master clapping his hands and laughing: "Could this be the 'food market' in Minzhou?" It turned out to be hidden here! ”
Li Jingshan was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that the young master also knows the 'food market'!" It's a mixed bag, but there's a lot of deliciousness. She waved her hand very imposingly, "Follow Miss Ben and take you to eat delicious food!" ”
Ruan Mingyu looked at her from behind and smiled, how could this "young lady" with shaved shoulders and willow waist pretend to be a straightforward and heroic "chivalrous" character.
