Chapter 151: Sunrise
Ruan Mingyu was washing the tea with the first boiled water, and when he looked up, he saw Li Jingshan with her chin in her hands, a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at him with a look of adoration, she couldn't help laughing, and put her finger on her forehead, "One of the teas, I care about the quiet and elegant, give you this shape a swing, a glance in your eyes, only the naΓ―ve and cute are left." β
ββ¦β¦ Cute and cute? β
The corners of Li Jingshan's mouth twitched, and her mind conjured up the appearance of a round giant panda drinking tea with two paws holding a small teacup, and burst into laughter, laughing crookedly on the side of the porch.
Ruan Mingyu shook his head and smiled, went over to help her up and sit upright, and said with a straight face, "Sit down, look carefully." Young master, my kung fu of making tea and making tea can be ranked in the top five in the capital, and I can easily see and drink it on weekdays. β
Li Jingshan hurriedly straightened her face, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Ruan Mingyu with a smile in her eyes.
Ruan Mingyu was satisfied, and raised his wrist to share the tea. His fingers are slender and his wrists are thin, and although they are not as good as a woman's wrist cream, they contain the strength unique to a man. The action is also more free and easy.
He divided two cups of tea like a cloud, picked up a cup and sent it to Li Jingshan, seeing that she had completely accepted the meaning of laughter, but bowed down solemnly and thanked him dignifiedly, and then stretched out his hands to take it.
Ruan Mingyu paused and gestured with his eyes, "The gesture is wrong." β
I saw Ruan Mingyu holding his sleeve with his left hand, his right thumb and index finger stuck on the rim of the cup, and his middle finger holding the cup at the bottom of the cup, with an indescribably elegant posture.
Li Jingshan did the same, took the teacup, and was about to raise it to her mouth.
"Taste the tea and smell it first," Ruan Mingyu smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't be treated as a cow." β
At the moment, Ruan Mingyu demonstrated and explained the procedures of the tea ceremony step by step, and after the process was repeated, Li Jingshan had already remembered it in her heart and did it well.
Ruan Mingyu added water to the tea and re-brewed the second tea, this time the action posture was much more casual, but the leisure was more free.
"In fact, the tea ceremony is what the heart goes to and what the mind reaches. Drinking tea on weekdays is just a casual and casual picture. That routine is just a show when dealing with nobles. Ruan Mingyu smiled while holding the teacup.
Li Jingshan took a sip, savored the fragrance of tea, and suddenly raised her head and said: "Speaking of the royal family, I met someone the day before yesterday. β
She told Ruan Mingyu about following Yue Qingzi into the palace and meeting the four princes asking for Mo Yupei.
Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows and sank his face: "Okay, you even hid it from me!" Looks like I'm used to you being lawless. β
Li Jingshan: "............, young master, you seem to have grasped the wrong point, right?"
"I mean, if we can make the same jade pendant for the four princes, at least similar, he can use it as a breakthrough to enter the official family."
Ruan Mingyu propped his elbows on the armrest of the chair, supported his chin and said lazily, "This is not difficult, the beautiful jade quality is not easy to find, and the lock of ink jade is not difficult." But are you still going to carve a pattern like your admirer? β
What admirers! Li Jingshan glared at Ruan Mingyu, knowing that he was jealous again, and it was not easy to deal with him, so she responded seriously, "This depends on the quality of the jade." However, that pattern was sent to the general to go on the expedition, and the killing spirit was too heavy, so it didn't seem to be suitable for the children of the royal family. β
"If you know, it's good." Ruan Mingyu snorted from his nose, and said unwillingly, "Any cat or dog can get a gift from you, young master, I have been serving you for so long, and I haven't even seen a jade shaving...... Forehead. β
Before the words fell, Nuan Yu approached, Wen Xiang fell into his arms, and a gentle kiss fell on his cheek.
Ruan Mingyu was especially depressed, but he didn't expect Li Jingshan to make such a move, and he was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, Li Jingshan had already retreated to her position, her face flushed under the light of the fire.
Ruan Mingyu looked at her eyebrows and eyes, extremely shy and as if a bad thing had succeeded, and her depression turned into tenderness.
He laughed and flicked Li Jingshan's head lightly, "Silly girl! It's just for me, remember! β
The two laughed, and Ruan Mingyu refilled Li Jingshan's tea before continuing the topic, "The proposal to change the business route of the Jingbao Pavilion has been passed by the Council of Elders. It will be announced in the store after the beginning of the year. However, the specific plan has not been come up with for a long time. β
said with a sigh, "The head office is too large, but there are many troubles." If it was a branch in Minzhou, these things would have been settled a long time ago, so where would there be any need to go back and forth. β
Li Jingshan smiled, knowing that it was not her turn to discuss this aspect, so she didn't answer the question. She thought for a moment and asked, "Does the young master want to do some promotional activities?" What time or opportunity do you plan to use? β
"What do you think?" Ruan Mingyu held the teacup and looked at her inquiringly.
"After the beginning of the year, the suitable festivals are close to the Lantern Festival, and the farther ones are the Shangsi Festival."
Li Jingshan thought about it, "It's just that during the Lantern Festival, all the big merchants are shouting hard, and it is not easy for Jingbao Pavilion to stand out, and if you have the heart to open up new markets, the time for the Lantern Festival is too tight." β
Ruan Mingyu smiled and took a sip of tea, encouraging her to continue with her eyes.
"The spring flowers are blooming during the Shangsi Festival, and the time for beauty to travel is in line with the sales opportunity of the jewelry store. The young master might as well hold a grand event at that time. β
"Just what I wanted. Reward! Ruan Mingyu smiled and poured a cup of tea for Li Jingshan.
Li Jingshan hurriedly accepted the young master's "reward" with both hands, but it was as good as Young Master Ruan took the opportunity to hand over the cup, leaned forward suddenly, and kissed Li Jingshan on the cheek.
It turns out that this is the "reward" that Young Master Ruan said!
The two snuggled up to each other and whispered like this, until Li Jingshan was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep leaning on Ruan Mingyu.
Ruan Mingyu unfolded the big curtain on his body and wrapped the person inside. He looked down at Li Jingshan's peaceful sleeping face half-hidden in the fox fur collar, her small face was not enough to grasp, and he couldn't help but kiss the tip of her hair again, and snorted. Xindao, take her to eat so many good things, how can she not be fat?
Li Jingshan had a good night's sleep, and when she was picked up by Ruan Mingyu, she was still half asleep and half awake.
"Little lazy pig, wake up, I'm going to fall off the horse!"
Li Jingshan rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw that she was actually sitting on horseback, fortunately she was surrounded by Ruan Mo in front of her, otherwise she really might not have fallen.
"Where are we going?" Li Jingshan hurriedly hugged Ruan Mingyu's arm.
"Go to the top of the mountain. Take you to see the sunrise. Ruan Mingyu smiled heartily, drove the ground, and galloped up the mountain road.
The crisp wind in the early morning took away Li Jingshan's sleepiness, and she immediately became excited.
She often led the team to work in the field before crossing over, and watched the sun rise and moon set, but she was always interested in the scene of sunrise. It's a pity that I've been here for more than three years, and now I've only had the first chance to see the sunrise on the top of the mountain.
The sky was already shining, the weather was fine, and there were only a few sparse wisps of clouds. The eastern sky shone red.
"Hurry up, hurry up, you won't be able to catch the sun over the horizon!" Li Jingshan grabbed the reins and urged, and the morning breeze poured into her mouth, bringing a refreshing refreshment.
Ruan Mingyu laughed loudly, "Are you completely awake?" I'll let the horse go! With a sound of driving, Bi Cheng spread his hooves and galloped up the mountain road.
Ruan Mingyu's riding skills are several times better than Li Jingshan, and he can also ride a horse and gallop on the Dawn Mountain Road with a person. Li Jingshan leaned on his arms, listening to the wind whirring in his ears, the cold air stirred up the hairs all over his body, but he felt extremely refreshing.
When I arrived at the top of the mountain, I was just in time for the morning sun to show a red line in the sky. Ruan Mingyu hugged Li Jingshan down and stood side by side with her on the top of the mountain, facing the east and looking out at the city that was still sleeping at the foot of the mountain, and the capital was still a dark blue silhouette.
The morning sun is rising, like the patrol of the king of the universe, first the distant and soft light slowly climbs up, and after a while jumps out of the clouds, just like the golden horse chariot breaking through the sky, and in an instant the golden light spreads, from far and near to the ground dyed through the layers of dark gray eaves heavy roof. The rising sun is like an emperor who reigns over the world, inspecting his territory one by one, and also bringing infinite vitality to the world.
Lai Thanh Shan and Nguyen Minh Yu stood quietly until the sun shone on them. Li Jingshan stretched out her arms and took a deep breath, "It's so beautiful!" β
Ruan Mingyu stood aside, looked at her with a smile, and said in a manly voice: "The sun is shining brightly, and thousands of mountains and rivers are like fire. β
Li Jingshan immediately picked it up, "A round goes up to the sky in an instant, driving away the stars and chasing the waning moon." After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
This is exactly a poem "Song of Sunrise" written by Taizu of the Dynasty, which was widely sung by the world because of the simplicity of the text and the magnificence of the realm. At this time, the two of them experienced a kind of pride in the world from this poem. (Note)
----
The New Year's holiday always passes quickly, and before the Lantern Festival, the students return to Tianqiao Hall one after another. And it was on the sixteenth day of the first month that the class began. According to the course arrangement, these two months will be to learn some emerald blue skills.
"I heard that the one who taught us some cui is the master of the Zhen Hall!"
"Yes, he is the number one master of the emerald technique in the Treasure Hunting Pavilion."
"Is it so mysterious? Mr. Zhou, the jade carving, is also the master of the Zhen Hall. Someone retorted nonchalantly.
"That's different. This Mr. Li Mingfang Li is a female gentleman! "There are well-informed people, mysterious and authentic.
"Female sir!" The crowd exclaimed.
Dalang is open to the people and does not restrict women's behavior and occupation. Except for the fact that women have not yet been held in the imperial examination and conscription, the rest of the agricultural and industrial industries allow women to get involved. There is no shortage of bold and bright women in all walks of life.
When she was in Minzhou, Li Jingshan met Li Mingyan and Zhang Qiaoyan, who were powerful in the business world, and they were both good at blocking one side. Among the students of the author's Jingbao Pavilion, there are also female disciples who are learning art.
However, the vast majority of women still have to take on the responsibility of taking care of family affairs, and it is inevitable that they will lack skills, which limits the possibility of women reaching high positions.
Especially in the handicraft industry, most women learn art to support their families, as long as they can learn a skill and support their families, or because of limited ability, or because of the status quo, they will stop. It can be said that among the craftsmen, women are very rare.
The master of the treasure hall is the industry elite accumulated over the years by the treasure house, and can be regarded as the top talent in the entire jewelry industry. In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Treasure Pavilion, there are only 100 masters who can enter the Treasure Hall.
And today, there are only ten masters of the Zhen Zhen Hall! It is these ten masters who hold up half of the jewelry industry in the capital and dare to compete with the palace treasures. And among these ten people, there is actually a female gentleman!
This exciting news made all the students look forward to it and eagerly await the arrival of Mr.
