At this time, the No. 6 dragon boat was more than half a hull faster than the other boats, and it was the favorite to win the championship at a glance. Jiang Yuelan said: "The odds are very high. I bet it wins. As he spoke, he tossed a piece of silver on the table.

Li Sanniang also smiled, "I follow too." "I also put a piece of silver next to Jiang Yuelan.

Ruan Mingyu laughed and said, "I'll bet that it will lose." He placed a mina of silver opposite them.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw that the speed of the No. 6 dragon boat slowed down, and there were two or three dragon boats next to it trying to catch up, and soon formed a situation of four boats competing for supremacy, and in the end, it was the No. 8 dragon boat that took the lead in hitting the line with a slight advantage and won the first place.

Ruan Mingyu laughed and said "concede" to the other two, and the two were surprised. Jiang Yuelan asked curiously: "How did Brother Ruan see that the sixth would lose?" ”

Ruan Mingyu pulled the three ingots of silver on the table together, picked up one and tossed it to catch it and played with it, "No. 6 rushed forward with all his strength at the beginning, which could easily cause it to be weak after passing the halfway. Especially beyond the other dragon boat half-bodies, it is easier for the boat to relax after not seeing the competition next to it. ”

He put the three ingots of silver side by side, pushed the left and right two forward, and his delicate thin lips were curled, "This is the time for other dragon boats to overtake, and at this time, the morale of No. 6 has been discharged, once it is overtaken, it will be difficult to recover the defeat." ”

The two nodded in understanding. Jiang Yuelan said: "Childe wants to say that Si Zhenfang can't see competition, and there will be a time when morale is lost, is that when we overtake?" ”

"That's right. Prize! Ruan Mingyu smiled and threw his ingot back to him.

Jiang Yuelan caught it, shook his head and smiled: "Reward me with my silver." Ruan Sanshao is really a good person! ”

Li Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't want a reward, I just want Ruan Gongzi to answer me a question." Why don't you just cooperate with Si Zhenfang, but find a store like us with small doors? ”

Ruan Mingyu smiled, "Good question, there are also prizes!" He threw Li Sanniang's silver over, and then said lightly, "If you cooperate with Si Zhenfang, will they be the big shopkeeper, or will I be the big shopkeeper in Jingbao Pavilion?" ”

He tossed up his ingot, and caught it, "Let me be the treasurer, but they will not do it; He raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, and his eyes were full of danger and brilliance, "If you let them be the big shopkeeper, I won't accept it!" ”

"I understand, I understand, it's just that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers." Jiang Yuelan laughed, "I'll go back and discuss with the old man, anyway, I will definitely help you say all the good things I can say." ”

Li Sanniang also smiled: "Baoyun Building also means this. I will do my utmost to facilitate this. But the matter is serious, I will go back and discuss it with a few other leaders, and then give you a letter. ”

Ruan Mingyu raised his wine glass with a smile, "Little brother has thanked the two of you in advance!" ”

The three glasses clinked together, and everything was silent.

Li Sanniang took out a few sachets from her sleeve and said with a smile: "Today's festival, I will send two of you a little things and things that are appropriate to the situation, please have a good luck, and I wish us a smooth cooperation." ”

She handed the sachet to the two, "This year's Dragon Boat Festival sachet is interesting, and the patterns on it all seem to be alive." These gadgets are hot items this year, and I see many eunuchs using such patterns. ”

Jiang Yuelan looked at it and said with a smile: "Sure enough, my old lady also ordered dozens of them to be distributed to the girls in each room." said yes, I have never seen such a simple five poisons. ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at the sachet in his hand, the fabric and spices were ordinary, embroidered with a zongzi sitting on a dragon boat, with full eyebrows and eyes, and two arms, holding a drumstick to beat the drum on the drum surface. He couldn't help but laugh as well.

This Dragon Boat Festival carnival lasted until the evening, and Li Jingshan and the three returned happily. Li Jingshan watched the warm sunset shine on her body, and happily thought that bright sunlight can always give people hope, even if it is about to set. Because tomorrow the sun will still rise.

On the other side, Ruan Minh Yu's carriage also carried him back satisfied. He lifted the curtain and let the setting sun shine into the car and shine on him. He took out the Dragon Boat Festival sachet, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, happily thinking that the sun would still rise, and tomorrow would be a new day.

------

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Jingshan sent a batch of embroidery to Zhang Qiaoyan's embroidery village, this time she designed the flowers, birds, insects and fish patterns related to summer, but made slight modifications and deformations, so that those creatures in the natural world have a little more new and ingenious fun.

Mrs. Li once smiled at her while embroidering a fan: "The bee on the cardamom flower you painted is really ingenious, making it tilt its body and hold the petals with its two thin feet, as if it was drunk with a wine glass." ”

Li Jingshan lay on Mrs. Li's shoulder and coquettishly, "That's!" With my embroidery sample and your stitching, see our double delicate combination, and create a legend in the embroidery world! Mrs. Li couldn't hold back her laughter.

Zhang Qiaoyan also felt interesting when he saw those embroidery patterns, and said with a smile: "Other people's patterns, flowers are flowers, and birds are birds." Your flowers and birds are like people. It is...... More points of aura. ”

Li Jingshan smiled lightly and said, "Sister, don't come to make fun of me. ”

Zhang Qiaoyan suddenly saw a painting and said, "This pattern is interesting, why don't you take it out?" ”

Li Jingshan saw that it was the pattern of the two birds nestled together when she first came to this world and picked elm money and took out bird's nests with her younger brother. It was the first picture she had drawn when she came into the world in the most difficult and gray time. I didn't think it at the time, but now that I look back, I feel that this pattern has extraordinary significance. The two birds leaning together held up a home to keep the egg below.

She took the drawing book, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said, "I plan to use this pattern to create a piece of jewelry for my mother." So don't sell. ”

Zhang Qiaoyan understood and patted her hand, "Good boy, your mother must like it very much." ”

Li Jingshan came out of Xiuzhuang and went to the spider alley in the city. There are many scattered jewelry shops in Spider Alley. Most of them are the pattern of the front store and the back shop, and the shop is small and thin, which is the business model of the shopkeeper and craftsman.

Li Jingshan found a small jewelry shop and discussed with the shopkeeper and craftsman that she wanted to rent the tools in the shop and make a piece of jewelry by herself, and the rent would be paid.

The master craftsman saw that she was dressed as a maid, and she couldn't even pay the processing fee, so he waved his hand and said, "I have more than one set of tools here, you can process it yourself on the table next to you." In a word, what tools can you use? What an awl hammer don't hurt your hand. ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Jingshan thanked happily, "Don't worry, I will make it." ”

At first, the craftsman uncle took a chance glance at it with half a doubt, and saw that this little girl was really skilled in carving molds and melting iron, and she was actually a veteran who was used to doing it, and couldn't help but be amazed, "Girl, looking at your craftsmanship, you should have been doing jewelry making in the first place, why do you still want to come to me to borrow tools?" ”

Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and said with a calm smile: "It turned out that I was doing this business, but then the family road declined." It's just that the craftsmanship is still there. ”

Uncle Craftsman is accustomed to seeing the wind and rain in the world, nodded understandingly, and said: "Don't be afraid, there is a craft, and you can't starve to death anywhere." ”

Li Jingshan spent three days to create a chain pendant from the craftsman, the two birds nestled together were made of sterling silver, the bird's eyes were embedded in the pink crystal sand that Li Jingshan found for a long time in the suburban river, and the bird eggs that fell below could not find such a big and beautiful stone, so she used a big acacia bean, which was red and gorgeous.

The craftsman uncle praised him repeatedly, and took out a thin chain to match her.

Li Jingshan was also very satisfied, and just as she was trying on the pendant around her neck, a voice next to her asked, "Girl, how do you sell this pendant?" ”

Li Jingshan looked at it, it was a middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard, and asked politely: "If you like this pendant, can you cut love?" ”

Li Jingshan shook her head, "This is a gift to my mother, forgive me." ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Then can you ask the girl to build another one for you?" I will give five taels of silver. ”

Li Jingshan has not yet said, the craftsman uncle next to him gasped first, this pendant is not complicated by handwork, and the materials are even cheaper, but a few dollars of broken silver, two sands, and a red bean, the cost and processing are all less than one or two silver. That man was so rich that he actually opened five taels!

He hurriedly said loudly to Li Jingshan: "Girl, you can sell it to him, at most I will borrow you tools and make another one!" ”

What the craftsman uncle could think of, Li Jingshan naturally thought of it, and this person fell in love with her design pattern again. She groaned for a moment and asked, "Dare to ask sir, for ...... you want this pendant?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I have been with Neiko for more than ten years, and now that the wedding anniversary is approaching, I look at the ingenious meaning of this pendant, and I want to buy it as a gift for her." ”

Li Jingshan let out a sigh, it turned out that it wasn't for design. She thought about it, but still handed over the pendant, "The little woman Zhu Xian and his wife are old together, and they raise their eyebrows. ”

The middle-aged man thanked and paid, walked to the door, and turned back as if he remembered something: "Dare to ask the girl, if I still want to create jewelry in the future, where should I find you?" ”

Li Jingshan shook her head, "If you need to, come and find this uncle." ”

The man nodded and left.

Li Jingshan picked up the five taels of silver in her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly. I think that the purse that was supposed to be given to Li Zhang was also sold to a stranger by mistake. It seems that her gifts have never been easy to sell.

After she sat back on the workbench, she prepared the materials and made another ornament, but it was difficult to find such a large red bean, so Li Jingshan used the silver she had just received to buy a red coral bead from the craftsman uncle and fell underneath. Therefore, this second pendant is less intimate and more luxurious.

She put a chain at the craftsman's uncle, and when she was about to pay, the uncle smiled and said, "Girl, I don't charge you for renting tools, and I will give you this chain." I want to use your pendant pattern to give my mother-in-law a punch, don't you think? ”

Li Jingshan looked at the uncle's simple smile, nodded and smiled. She remembered what her father had said: Jewelry is not only beautiful to look at, but also to beautify people's hearts, and then make this world a better place.

If you can pass on a little more beauty, why not.

It's just that Li Jingshan didn't know that the pendant she sold did not go into a certain lady's jewelry box, but placed it on Ruan Mingyu's desk.
