Li Zhang hurriedly said: "This is not bought. I hit it myself when I went up the mountain years ago. At that time, I wanted to stay...... As a birthday present for you. Girls and 第 are big deals, this is worthy of you! ”

"It's just that this gift is too ......" Li Jingshan was also embarrassed, but she was useless, and this gift was holding a burning hand.

Li Zhang saw that she had to resign, suddenly deflated, hung his head and said: "Do you dislike my low status and don't deserve to give you a birthday gift for the eldest lady." ”

Oops, this hat is too buttoned.

Li Jingshan hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that-" She looked at Li Zhang's face depressed, and she couldn't bear to say the rest of the words.

She remembered that Li Zhang had a little sister who was also ready to reach the age of Jilu, and when the time came, she would be given a set of her own designed heads, which could be regarded as a favor. So Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Then I might as well be respectful." Thank you, Brother Li! ”

Li Zhang smiled with satisfaction, rubbing his hands together and blushing with excitement.

"Hey, I said why didn't I see my girl serving in the room, it turns out that I have a private lover here again!"

A slightly impatient voice interrupted the two, and when they looked up, Ruan Mingyu was leaning against the edge of the moon gate with his arms crossed, and there was no joy or anger in his dark eyes.

Li Jingshan sighed in her heart, this treacherous young master is too elusive, he originally said that he would not come back today, but who knew that he would appear again at night.

She grimaced at Ruan Mingyu's back, and smiled apologetically at Li Zhang, "It's important to be on an errand." He hurriedly went over and saluted Ruan Mingyu and said, "What does the young master command?" ”

Ruan Mingyu looked her up and down for a long time, then raised his eyelids to look at the back of Li Zhang, who had walked out of the backyard, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a woman who pleases herself." The lover came tonight, so he dressed up so carefully. I almost didn't even recognize it. ”

Coincidentally, Li Jingshan and Li Zhang have not met a few times, and they have only met in the courtyard, but they have been met by Young Master Ruan every time, and since the first meeting, Young Master Ruan has always called Li Zhang "lover".

In the past, Li Jingshan only thought he was talking nonsense and didn't pay attention to it at all, but tonight it was extremely harsh to listen to.

She said to Young Master Ruan: "He is a distant cousin of the Li family, and he usually takes care of us, but he is not a lover, please don't ruin your name." ”

There was a faint glimmer of light in Ruan Mingyu's dark eyes, as if he was interested, and asked, "Oh? If you weren't a lover, you would be greased and powdered tonight, and you would be in new clothes, what are you doing, brocade clothes at night? ”

Li Jingshan was aroused by the ridicule in his tone, and her tone became hard unconsciously, "Today is my birthday and Lu, what's wrong with me curling my hair and making up?" ”

When Ruan Mingyu heard this, he stood up straight, put away his joking look, and was also quite embarrassed for Meng Lang, he touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Oh, I see." Belch...... Happy birthday. ”

Li Jingshan was blessed and said, "Thank you, young master." What does the young master command? ”

"Well, that, today, your birthday, you will be exempted from being on an errand. Go and rest. ”

Li Jingshan looked up at Ruan Mingyu, her heart softened, and a smile unconsciously crept up the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, young master." Honestly and unceremoniously, he bent his knees and went to his house.

After taking two steps, I heard the young master say behind him: "You are like this tonight...... Well, it's beautiful. ”

The smile on the corner of Li Jingshan's mouth couldn't help but expand, and she turned back to Young Master Ruan and smiled brightly, "Thank you, Young Master!" ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at the slender figure, and realized for a long time that the corners of his mouth were also upturned.

Li Jingshan still went back to the kitchen, set the plate for the young master's meal, and waited for Ruan Shu to come and get it before returning to her room.

After a while, Ruan Shu called her in the courtyard again, handed her a big, large jewelry box, and said with a smile: "Happy birthday Miss Li." This is a set of noodles that the young master asked me to take in the Jingbao Pavilion, a special gift for the girl. ”

Li Jingshan's eyes lit up, and her heart was ecstatic, "The young master gave me?!" After thanking him, he turned around and took a few oranges and two handfuls of peanuts and melon seeds from the house, wrapped them in a handkerchief and gave them to him, "There's nothing to thank you for, don't be surprised." ”

Ruan Shu accepted it with a smile and said, "Let us touch the joy of your birthday, that's enough." She thanked her and went to the front yard.

Li Jingshan opened the jewelry box, and inside was a set of sixteen pieces of gold-wrapped heads, the quality was only in the middle and upper, and it seemed that it was a gift box used by the Treasure Pavilion as a gift.

The joy in Li Jingshan's heart gradually changed to loss. I thought that the young master would be impressed with himself, but it turned out that he was just sending ordinary customers.

I had to comfort myself, in the end, it was in his eyes, otherwise I wouldn't have sent someone to send a birthday gift.

She picked up a hairpin wrapped in gold beads, inserted it into her bun, and looked left and right in the mirror, her face unconsciously flushed again.

------

Young Master Ruan never talks about business in other courtyards, it has become a common practice. Therefore, in mid-October, Li Jingshan wore jewelry given by Ruan Mingyu and deliberately decorated it. Go to the side hall of the account room of the Jingbao Pavilion to find Ruan Mingyu.

When Ruan Mingyu saw her coming, he only looked up at her lightly, as if he hadn't noticed anything, his eyes were calm and waveless, and he asked calmly: "But the design pattern came out?" ”

Li Jingshan suppressed the disappointment in her heart, and responded by presenting a set of twenty-four head jewelry artwork designed by herself in front of Ruan Mingyu. It is a set of rich and colorful patterns, and the butterflies and peonies on it are all painted smartly and chic.

"I'm going to be ready for the New Year, so I've chosen a more expensive pattern." Li Jingshan explained, "The butterfly play is the main tone, the main flower hairpin and the top flower are all in full bloom peony pattern, the small plug and the hair dian are butterfly or flower, bud style, earrings with two kinds, there are butterflies, there are also flower shapes. It is all taken from the meaning of a hundred butterflies and flowers. ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at the drawing and was silent for a long time, his brows gradually locked, and he asked for a long time, "What about the materials?" What is it made of? ”

"Inlaid with citrine and topaz, with gold as a base."

Ruan Mingyu's brows furrowed even tighter, "Topaz, I understand, what is Topaz?" ”

Li Jingshan is a little proud, there is too little understanding of gemstones in this era, and even the soft young master, who is known as having a pair of fiery eyes, has limited knowledge.

She took out a small cloth bag and opened it, and inside were several small crystals, all kinds of colors, "This is the crystal." Colorful, crystal clear, and the transparency of a good grade crystal is comparable to that of a diamond......"

Seeing Ruan Mingyu's confused expression, she hurriedly stopped and said concisely: "It's a good decoration material." I'm going to use this yellow crystal for the setting. With a little pink hedrons. ”

Ruan Mingyu's poisonous eyes that are accustomed to seeing gems can see at a glance the market energy that these spars may contain. His face finally looked better, but he pushed the artwork back and said mercilessly: "The material selection is passed, but the artwork is returned and redrawn!" ”

The drawings that had been grinding for half a month were killed by him with a word, Li Jingshan's eyes widened, and she endured her breath and said, "Please make it clear to the young master, if it doesn't meet the requirements, I'll go back and revise it." ”

Ruan Mingyu looked straight at her and said slowly, "This design artwork belongs to the Li family's Si Zhenfang, not your own!" ”

Li Jingshan stood up suddenly.

Ruan Mingyu raised his hand to stop it, as if he was very satisfied with the effect of his words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the cold ice on his face immediately melted away like a spring breeze.

He tapped the drawing with his knuckles and said, "From top to bottom, every line of this artwork reveals the style of Si Zhenfang, luxurious, noble, and a little self-righteous arrogance. I don't see a hint of your own style here. ”

He pursed the corners of his lips, and the cynical smile was again, "If I want such a design, I can go to Si Zhenfang and dig up a craftsman to come over." Why bother using you with time and effort? ”

Li Jingshan opened her mouth a few times, but closed her mouth silently, she picked up the artwork and looked at it repeatedly, and finally had to admit that although the young master's mouth was poisonous, what he said was really reasonable.

Her face fell, a deep sense of frustration followed, and a silent aggrieved light flooded over. I was originally a student of geology and mining, and all my knowledge and knowledge of jewelry art came from the original owner of this body, Miss Li. And Miss Li's skills are not produced by Si Zhenfang!

Li Jingshan pursed her lips and muttered, "Didn't I learn my skills and knowledge from my father and Si Zhenfang." ”

Ruan Mingyu's eyes were cold, and he said in an unkind tone: "Those strange materials were also learned from Si Zhenfang?" The gilding technique of turning iron into gold was also learned from Si Zhenfang? ”

Speaking of the latter tone, his tone turned sharp, "I don't know where you got these skills, if you say that these things are also taught to you by Si Zhenfang, count me Ruan Sanshao this time, you immediately go back to the kitchen to make a fire girl for me!" ”

Li Jingshan's face turned red, tears rolled in her eyes, but she was blocked and couldn't refute it.

Ruan Mingyu looked at her reddened eyes, and finally slowed down his tone and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just because you haven't been exposed to the designs of other workshops." From today on, you come to Jingbao Pavilion with me every day, take turns at each counter, greet guests when there are no guests, look good at our jewelry design, figure it out yourself. ”

Li Jingshan snorted, blessed Ruan Mingyu, and said angrily, "Thank you, young master." ”

Ruan Mingyu snorted, hooked the corners of his mouth as if he remembered something, and his tone was a little playful, "Don't be busy thanking you first." You are an apprentice who comes to the shop for apprenticeship, and you are not paid. ”

Profiteer! A profiteer who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!

Li Jingshan glared at Young Master Ruan, wiped her nose with her thumb, and said loudly with great momentum: "If you don't pay your salary, you won't give it, I'm not rare!" "Walk out the door with your head held high.

Ruan Mingyu looked at her bluffing figure, and the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly climbed into the corner of her eyes.

This girl is interesting.

Well, that head mask is quite a match for her.

Ruan Mingyu took a sip of the teacup, lamenting that she occasionally had a wandering eye, she thought she was just a middle-aged person, but she didn't expect that with a little modification, it could be regarded as fresh and refined.

When I think about it, the smile in the corner of my eye is even stronger. This girl, carefully explored, can always surprise people.
