On the eighth day of the lunar month, Li Jingshan put two sets of head patterns in front of Ruan Mingyu, one is the head of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the other is a winged bird with pink crystal and gold on the head.

"These two sets of heads and faces are worthy of the night's costumes, the young master and Sanniang both want Miss Cuiqiao to win the championship at the hall meeting, and the hundred birds are rich and graceful towards the crested face, which is exactly the right match for this color."

Li Jingshan pointed to the second set and said: "And the second set of winged bird patterns conveys the good wishes of a lifetime and a couple. This is exactly what Miss Cuiqiao has in mind. ”

Ruan Mingyu did it behind the wide bookcase, crossed his chin with ten fingers, and looked at the two sets of heads for a long time before he raised his head, and his eyes shot directly into Li Jingshan's eyes, "Which set do you think Cui Qiao will choose?" ”

"The second set." Li Jingshan's tone was firm.

Ruan Mingyu thought for a moment, and asked someone to send the two sets of patterns to Baihualou, and let Cui Qiao decide. Half a day later, the guy came back to reply, and Miss Cuiqiao set the crystal head of the winged bird.

A faint smile appeared in the corner of Ruan Mingyu's eyes, "Okay, let's get started, you still have ten days to complete this set of jewelry." ”

Li Jingshan curtsied and led the order to retreat. When he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Ruan Mingyu ask behind him, "How do you know that Cui Qiao will choose a winged bird?" ”

A woman's heart full of desire for love, I just know!

Li Jingshan swallowed the real reason, turned around and replied respectfully: "Miss Cuiqiao has a conscience, and naturally hopes to be able to fly like wings." ”

Ruan Mingyu felt reasonable, and suddenly smiled again: "Since you have a clear mind, why do you need to design an extra set of birds and phoenixes?" ”

Li Jingshan smiled: "That set of birds and phoenixes is for you and Sanniang." ”

Ruan Mingyu was stunned and looked at her with wide eyes, "You spent a lot of effort to draw another set of heads, just to block the mouths of the two of us?" ”

"Of course not." Li Jingshan blinked her eyes slyly, "This set of Hundred Birds Towards the Crested Noodles is naturally handed over to you, Young Master, and launched in the Treasure Hunt." And it won't be wasted. ”

Ruan Mingyu's eyes flashed quickly, and he scolded with a smile: "Your abacus is very good!" Hurry up and start work, the time is very tight, if you can't deliver the goods, you can explain to Sanniang yourself! ”

It took Li Jingshan ten days, with the assistance of the craftsmen of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, to create the set of winged bird head noodles. The makeup is decorated with a variety of crystals, and the bird's body is inlaid with finely polished citrine, and the eyes are lit with obsidian. The crystal is finely polished into multiple reflective surfaces, which are illuminated by the light and reflect the brilliant light.

When this set of heads was sent to Li Mingyan's Baoyun Building, Li Mingyan also praised it.

"How come I haven't seen such a brilliant gem before? This set of head noodles alone is enough for Sister Cuiqiao to be in the limelight. ”

As for how Miss Cuiqiao made a show off at the village banquet, this is not what Li Jingshan cares about. She delivered the set of noodles on the afternoon of the twentieth day of the lunar month, and she was finally able to be idle. If you look closely, the New Year will be ten days away!

She has been busy making jewelry these days, and she has no time to take care of her family, so she thought that she would go with her mother to buy some New Year's goods.

However, when I went to my mother's room, I unexpectedly found my mother sitting at the head of the bed weeping, holding a quilt of embroidered lotus mandarin ducks that had been trampled and torn up. Li Jingjue comforted her mother angrily on the side.

"Mother? What's going on, what's going on? Li Jingshan hurriedly stepped forward and put her arm around Mrs. Li's shoulders and asked.

Mrs. Li wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Today is Jing Yao's big day. Although your second uncle didn't send us a wedding card, I thought that Jingyao was my niece, and I, as an aunt, always had to express something. ”

"I'll just ...... I embroidered a mandarin duck quilt as a congratulatory gift, but I just wanted to express my heart, and I wanted to come back today to say hello to the new couple in person. Who knows," she looked at the torn quilt on her hand, and couldn't help but shed tears again, "who knew that they were too deceitful!" ”

Li Jingshan took the quilt and looked at the blackened footprints on it, as well as a few tears torn out, and understood everything. She stood up on the ground, flipped out the document that the Ma family had dissolved the marriage contract with her, and strode out.

Mrs. Li tried to pull her, but she didn't stop. Just as she was about to chase her out, Li Jingshan pushed her mother back into the house and asked her younger brother to stop her. Li Jingjue couldn't wait for her sister to seek justice for her mother, so she hurriedly stopped her mother and said, "Mother, you let your sister teach them!" ”

Li Jingshan walked quickly to the main house of the Li family. She came by coincidence, and saw the blowing and blowing in front of the door of the main house from a distance, and estimated that it was the time when the bride was ready to go out in the sedan chair. The bride of the phoenix crown and the bridegroom in the big red brocade robe walked out with the big red flowers.

Li Jingshan dissolved her hair, ran to them quickly, pulled Ma Jirong's sleeve in front of everyone, and cried sadly: "Ji Lang, Ji Lang! How can you be so ruthless, when we were tender and sweet, you still said that you wanted to try the clouds and rain with me for the first time, and your oath to my mountains and seas is still in my ears. How can you marry my cousin in the blink of an eye! ”

Li Jingshan sang and wrote so well that everyone was so shocked that their mouths opened wide, and even the joy of playing stopped.

Ma Jirong pulled his sleeves in a panic and scolded angrily: "What are you crazy women climbing and biting!" I've already broken off my engagement with you! ”

"I'm obsessed with you, you, you negative man!" Li Jingshan didn't let him break free, and continued to cry: "When you lied to me and you were gentle, where did all that gentleness go? Did you give it all to my cousin? ”

Ma Jirong couldn't break free, and he was so panicked that he shouted to the person next to him: "Help me pull the crazy woman away!" ”

The relatives and friends of the Li family and the Ma family hurriedly stepped forward to pull people.

Li Jingshan originally intended to make a big deal out of it, and she didn't intend to make a big deal about it, so she immediately let go of her hand, grabbed the arm of the person who pulled him, and cried: "Big brother, big brother, that negative man also took my dowry, and their family even accepted the dowry." Jing Yao! My cousin, how much dowry did the Ma family ask for from you? ”

Today, the head of the Li family married his daughter, and the surrounding neighbors came to join in the fun, and this is the time when the onlookers are the most, no wonder the relatives and friends of the newlyweds are tied. After all, on this festive day, such an ugly thing, whether it is true or not, will lose the face of the two of them.

"Li Jingshan!" Li Jingyao tore off her hijab, pointed at her and screamed: "Your mother came to make trouble, and now it's you again!" You stinky and shameless, Brother Ji has already broken off the marriage contract with you, do you still have the face to make trouble? ”

"Cousin, you're right." Li Jingshan took out the marriage dissolution document, wiped her tears and said, "Sister, that person with a bad heart even accepted my dowry, but he abandoned me while my family was in trouble." Even if you take advantage of the situation, aren't you afraid that one day in the future, he will kick you away in the same way? ”

Because she is still in the Li family, Li Jingshan said that the Ma family is not the same, and it seems that she is on the side of the Li family. Although the words are vague, the words are pierced in the sore spots, provoking the feelings of the newcomer.

Sure enough, everyone was in an uproar and talked endlessly. Many people don't understand the grievances between these people, but they believe most of them.

"Li Jingshan! First your mother, then you, what the hell do you want?! Li Zhixuan finally appeared at the gate.

Li Jingshan turned around and stood still, looked directly at Li Zhixuan, and finally straightened her face. She leaned over to Li Zhixuan slightly, and said quietly: "Second uncle, whether it is my mother or niece, I just came here today to congratulate my cousin, but I don't want to suffer such trouble. My niece knows that you don't want to see us, so I only ask you to stay in the future, and see each other in the future. You know, rabbits can bite when they are in a hurry. ”

Li Zhixuan also stared at Li Jingshan gloomily, nodded for a long time and said slowly: "Okay, in the future, our well water will not interfere with river water." Don't disturb each other! ”

Li Jingshan turned her head and bowed to the couple, "I wish the two of you a harmonious relationship in front of the forest." ”

To the ears of others, it was only Li Jingshan who said "before the flowers and under the moon" wrong. But Li Jingyao's face turned pale in an instant, and she glared at Li Jingshan fiercely. She knew that Li Jingshan was beating her with that word.

Li Jingshan smiled at her without fear and left proudly. She didn't notice that a pair of eyes in the crowd had been on her until she was far away.

-----

On the second day, before Li Jingshan and her mother went to buy New Year's goods, they first took stock of their recent savings with their mother.

At the end of the year, she received a dividend of nearly 100 taels from Xiuzhuang; In addition to settling wages, the hospital also gave a large red envelope reward; Coupled with the wages of working in the Jingbao Pavilion, Li Jingshan found that their "small treasury" had saved more than 200 taels of silver.

This money is enough for them to build a small yard outside. She discussed with her mother whether to buy a small courtyard and move out after the Chinese New Year.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with living here." Mrs. Li was worried about the penniless days at the beginning of the year, and knew that if she bought a house, she would have to hand over all her savings, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

"At the beginning of spring next year, the younger brother will take the college exam, and if he passes the Tongsheng exam, he will be considered a serious reader. If it is still sent to the fence, it is not a system after all. Li Jingshan said.

She knew that her mother felt sorry for the silver, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry! Now you continue to work in the embroidery village, how can you maintain your daily expenses. I also received my salary in the annex and in the jewelry shop. The money will always be earned back. ”

"It's just that you are still serving the young master. If you move out, it's inconvenient after all. ”

Li Jingshan thought for a while and said, "Then you move out and live, I still live here." On weekdays, when I don't have a bad day, I go home again. ”

Mrs. Li thought about it, and the matter was settled. Lai Ching Shan went to find Fu Bo and asked him to help him find a suitable house.

Fu Bo agreed, turned his head and went to report the matter to the young master.

When Ruan Mingyu heard that Li Jingshan just asked her mother and younger brother to move out and stay in the courtyard, he waved his hand generously and said, "As long as she doesn't leave, let her go." If there is a good one, I can recommend it to her. ”

Fu Bo should get down, and was about to quit, when he was suddenly stopped by the young master: "I remember that in the alley behind Guangyi Fang, there are several courtyards waiting for money, and I pointed out one for her." ”
