The second pot of water was boiling, Ruan Jinghong picked up the kettle and poured water, and began to brew the second tea. He refilled Ruan Minh Yu's cup with a second cup of tea.

Ruan Mingyu picked up the tea cup and watched the curling mist disperse in the air until the tea was warm, and he drank the small cup of tea in one gulp. Ruan Jinghong and Mrs. Ruan both took a fancy to him.

"No, that's not the best home for that set of accessories, she deserves better!"

Ruan Mingyu stood up and saluted his father, "Thank you father and mother for your trouble, the child will definitely find the most suitable and best home for this set of jewelry." Then he turned and walked out.

"The taste of tea is known after three courses," Ruan Jinghong said behind him, "Won't you drink this third course of tea before leaving?" ”

Ruan Mingyu stopped his steps and turned slightly, "Thank you, Daddy, after I finally find a good home for her, I will come and drink this third cup of tea." He stepped out of the door and strode out of the courtyard.

Mrs. Ruan looked at her son's back and shrugged, "The negotiations broke down. How does it end now? ”

"Newborn calves, willful." Ruan Jinghong slowly brewed the third course of tea, "Let him go." When he hits his head and breaks the bleeding flow, he will naturally bow his head. ”

"Alas! But I can't wait. Mrs. Ruan sighed, "My mother-in-law has urged her a few times to get married to San'er." Why don't you go and talk back? ”

When Ruan Jinghong heard this, he also sighed.

-----

On the third day of the third month of March, the Shangsi Festival.

Jingbao Pavilion's spring jewelry exhibition "Flower Dynasty Hui" officially began. Jingbao Pavilion borrowed a few students from Tianqiao Hall to be the front counselors of the hall, and Li Jingshan was also among them.

When Li Jingshan was in Minzhou, she often did sales work in the store, and often went out with Ruan Mingyu to socialize, so she was familiar with the work of consulting customers. However, she also knew that dealing with the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing was very different from dealing with the wealthy businessmen in Minzhou, and she had to be treated with twelve points of spirit.

The first was a short but solemn opening ceremony.

Li Jingshan looked at the stage from afar, Ruan Mingyu, as the big shopkeeper of the Jingbao Pavilion, presided over the opening for the first time, and he was dressed in green clothes to make him stand tall and jade, and his posture was outstanding. Standing on the stage are all seniors in the jewelry industry, all of whom are his uncles and uncles in terms of age. However, he was already standing among them in his weak crown, and his aura was not inferior to those elders in the slightest. There is even a tendency to show the edge.

Ruan Minh Yu is such a flamboyant and bright character, Li Jingshan thought, no one can hide his brilliance.

She also saw that among the group of uncles and bosses standing behind Ruan Mingyu, there was a middle-aged man in purple who was not smiling, and his face and outline seemed familiar. She thought about it, she couldn't remember seeing such a person, and she didn't bother anymore.

After the opening ceremony, the exhibition was open to guests. For a while, the entire Jingbao Pavilion hall was mixed with jewels and temples, and most of them gathered around the exhibits to appreciate and evaluate, and they could make up their minds on the spot when they saw what they liked.

The goods at the exhibitions of the major jewelry stores are different from the ordinary goods sold in the store, and each item is new in the season, and it is a unique item. In order to ensure the uniqueness of this product, the firm will also destroy the template of the jewelry set on the spot after the goods are sold.

If the same set of jewellery is ordered by more than two customers, an auction will be held on the last day of the fair, and the highest price will be awarded. The highest price of the day is a great honor for the author, and it is also a strong qualification when he enters the industry in the future.

Li Jingshan stood at the gate to greet the guests, while secretly watching the passing guests, guessing their identities from the way they dressed. She found that sure enough, it was still the majority of the guests of the Shangjia House,

The scholarly eunuch's house accounts for only two-three out of ten.

"Miss Li, you are really here!"

Li Jingshan turned her head and saw Cheng Caiyu. Cheng Caiyu is the daughter of Hubu Silang, and Yue Qingzi is good friends, the last time he saw Li Jingshan in Yue Wang's Mansion, and today he is very happy to see him in the Jingbao Pavilion.

"Why didn't you see that girl?" Cheng Caiyu held Li Jingshan's hand and looked around.

Li Jingshan said in her heart, who dares to let the hall of the dignified county lord station be a consultant. Still smiled gently, "She is tight on her homework and doesn't dare to come out at will." ”

Cheng Caiyu laughed, "I used to study in the school, and I never saw her focus on her homework, but now that she comes out to learn art, she is nervous about her 'homework'." It's really a time and a moment. ”

Li Jingshan also smiled quietly, embarrassed that she was willing to completely transform for a person with such a detached temperament.

"Where is her work? Take me to see it. I have come today because she has entrusted me to make a decision. She told me to buy that set of works back. ”

Cheng Caiyu pulled Li Jingshan inside, "Hey, I said it." She didn't have any kind of jewelry she wanted, and she still treated her broken craftsmanship as if it were a treasure. ”

"I made it myself, and it was the first set of works, so it was very meaningful."

Li Jingshan naturally knew the true meaning of the set of emerald phalaenopsis headdresses for Yue Qingzi, but she didn't say anything, but found a reasonable reason and prevaricated the past.

As he spoke, he walked to the booth where Yue Qingzi's works were placed, and while he was commenting, a sharp voice came from the side, "Yo, this is because of my cousin's relationship, and I actually mixed into the Flower Dynasty Hui?" ”

As soon as I turned my head, I saw Chen Yuwei who was showing off her flowers.

Today's Miss Chen is obviously dressed up quietly, her makeup is exquisite, and the color of her clothes is also the latest this year. It's just that the meanness and coldness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows give her a gloom that is rare at this age.

Chen Yuwei looked at Li Jingshan from the corner of her eyes, "Even if you enter the Jingbao Pavilion, you are still a miscellaneous person." Even if a sparrow perches on a tall branch, it is still a sparrow. ”

Cheng Caiyu looked at Chen Yuwei curiously, with a faint disgust in her eyes. As soon as they came up, they spoke ill of each other, after all, it was not a lady's doing. She turned her head to look at Li Jingshan again, and asked with her eyes if she wanted to help suppress her arrogance.

Li Jingshan smiled quietly, "Those who can perch on high branches are never sparrows." But if Miss Chan wants to see the peacock feather jewelry, I can lead you there. ”

Chen Yuwei had a cold face, and was about to say that there was no need, but Li Jingshan said again: "I don't think Miss Chen has ever seen a peacock plucked barehead." I've seen it, but it's really a feathered phoenix that's not as good as a chicken. ”

Cheng Caiyu burst out laughing, and Chen Yuwei's face turned red and white. said viciously, "Don't think that if you have your cousin to support you, you can be arrogant!" The Ruan family will never let you in! ”

Li Jingshan hated others to talk about her relationship with Ruan Mingyu the most, so she immediately lowered her face and said lightly: "Your surname is Chen, and you have not yet taken the surname Ruan." Whether I can enter the Ruan family or not, I don't want Miss Chen to worry about it. She deliberately bit the word "Chen" very hard.

Chen Yuwei was so angry that she was only panting, and she didn't know how to reply. A young woman came over and sneered: "She has been planning for so long, and she has chased her from Minzhou to the capital. If she can't enter the door of Ruan's house, will she even go back to Minzhou? ”

Li Jingshan turned her head to look at the young woman and the woman, holding a hand-cranked fan, wearing a lilac plain brocade skirt, combing a high cloud bun, and holding four flower hairpins - this is the dress of the aunt in the eunuch's house, and only the wife can wear six hairpins.

"Are you...... Jane! ”

"Presumptuous! Is Aunt Zhao's name also called by you casually? The maid behind Zhen'er immediately stopped.

Cheng Caiyu looked at Zhen'er, but she couldn't stand her embarrassed face of the eunuch, and immediately asked out loud, "Aunt Zhao?" Whose aunt is it? ”

Zhen'er saw that Cheng Caiyu had an extraordinary bearing, and she didn't dare to offend, so she hurriedly stopped the little maid who was still coming out, and responded kindly: "My grandson is Lan Zhiqiu, the head of the Ministry of Rites." Dare to ask the girl ......? ”

Cheng Caiyu didn't eat her, and squinted at her and said, "Foreigner? Only the main housewife can humbly call her grandson and son, and your aunt dares to call her master her grandson? Don't you have rules at home? is still the official of the Ministry of Rites, the master of the five products, no wonder let an aunt climb to the head of the main room. ”

Zhen'er was robbed of white like this, and her pretty face turned red.

She was kicked out of the courtyard by Ruan Mingyu that year, and was later bought by an official who went to Beijing to take up her post. With her own appearance and scheming, she coaxed the blue master book into a daze, and finally helped her to become a concubine.

The lady of the blue master book has a soft temperament, and she can't suppress this Zhen'er, making her more and more domineering at home, and the maids in the family are also worshipping high and low, seeing that this Aunt Zhao is favored, she is even more flattering, making her forget her identity for a while. Now that she has been ruthlessly exposed, it is really like a slap in the face, which is extremely embarrassing.

Seeing this, Chen Yuwei resolutely stood on Zhen'er's side in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

"What to call is a family affair. Qing officials don't care about housework, you outsiders are lenient. Chen Yuwei snorted, "Besides, it's better to be an aunt anyway, someone may not even be an aunt, it's a big deal to be a warm bed." ”

Seeing that someone was helping her, Zhen'er also calmed down, looked at Li Jingshan and said contemptuously: "Isn't it, since I was in the other courtyard, I wanted to climb into the young master's bed." Now that you can be a warmer and a bed, it can be regarded as a complete merit. ”

"Aunt Zhao, right?" Li Jingshan smiled lightly, "I congratulate you first, you are the one who has achieved the right result." As for whether my merits are complete or not, it is also my housework, and outsiders don't have to worry about it so leniently. ”

She scolded Fang Cai Zhen'er and Chen Yuwei back with a word, and the faces of the two changed drastically, but they listened to her again: "Also, the bird's ambition is to know the bird." Those who set their ideals in life in the one-third of an acre of land in the courtyard of the deep house should not talk about the right results and merits to others. ”

"Yo, do you still want to enter the palace as a mother?" Jane said bitterly.

Li Jingshan held her forehead, and secretly sighed why she had to fight with chickens and ducks, and lost her identity. She simply ignored them anymore, only slightly bent her knees to the guests, and planned to beckon Cheng Caiyu to see other exhibits.

Chen Yuwei saw with sharp eyes that Li Jingshan had a jade carved topaz hanging around her waist.

The shape and pattern of the jade bi is obviously a man's style, and her family is also in the tribute business, and she recognized that the jade pendant actually fell with the bright yellow silk silk common in the palace! She opened her mouth wide in shock, pointed at the jade bi and said, "You, where did you come from in the palace?" Who gave it to you? ”

Li Jingshan wore a lotus-colored dress today, and when she saw that the color of this topaz matched, she hung it up casually and used it to make a placket, and she didn't think about it so much. I was already so surprised to see Chen Yuwei, knowing that she wanted to go wrong, but she didn't bother to explain, and coldly threw three words to her: "Housework." ”

"You, you seduced and seduced your cousin, and you even ...... also ......, "After all, it involves the royal family, Chen Yuwei didn't dare to talk nonsense, and finally stomped her foot hatefully, "I'll tell the cousin of the Ruan family to go!" ”
