Chapter Ninety-Three: Going to Beijing
Li Jingshan hurriedly put her fingers to her lips and whispered, "I haven't mentioned it to her yet!" My mother and father have a very close relationship, and I'm afraid it's not the right time to mention it. ”
"But my brother and I went out to study one after another, and she has been alone for a long time, so maybe she can turn a corner. I would like you to help me pay attention to it first, and I usually advise my mother more. If she does, that's for the best. If she doesn't want to...... Since then, I have been with her, and it is not unavoidable. ”
The Dalang Dynasty can be regarded as a lot of tolerance for women, not only allowing women to show their heads and come out on errands, but also not having very strict requirements for women to be widowed or remarry after leaving. Therefore, in the Dalang Dynasty, it was very common for men to renew or women to remarry.
Sister-in-law Zhang looked at her approvingly and gave her a thumbs up, "You kid is a filial piety." Yes! My sister-in-law took this matter to heart. You can go to Beijing with peace of mind. ”
Li Jingshan hurriedly thanked her, let go of another matter, and felt a little at ease.
This meal was eaten in the afternoon, and it was almost over, but I saw Ruan Shu looking for him in the backyard, saying that the young master was back and came to fetch water to wash him. When he saw Li Jingshan, he said strangely, "It turns out that Miss Li, you are here." The young master is still going to send me to your house to look for you. ”
Li Jingshan didn't have to be an errand today, thinking that Young Master Ruan was looking for her in such a hurry because of the official business in the store. Hurriedly got up and asked, "I'm sorry to let you run away in vain." What is it? ”
Ruan Shu scratched his head, waved his hand and smiled: "Later, he changed his words and said that he didn't need to go...... Originally, let me ask you when your mother will move over, and he will arrange for someone to clean up first. ”
Li Jingshan: "......"
This eldest young master wants to see her, do you need to find such a clumsy excuse!
Not to mention such trivial matters as when Mrs. Li moved back to the other courtyard, there is no need for him to ask, just that Li Jingshan often settles in the other courtyard, and she has been taking care of the two rooms, and there is no need to send someone to clean them, Mrs. Li wants to move back, pick up a few clothes and move in, okay!
Mrs. Li didn't know the trick inside, so she hurriedly stood up with a smile and thanked her, "There's Young Master Lao, you don't need him to bother, I'll clean up by myself in two days." ”
Ruan Shu smiled politely, and his eyes glanced at Li Jingshan.
Li Jingshan left the dining table and took the basin in Ruan Shu's hand: "I'll send this water to the young master." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Miss Li!" Ruan Shu's tone was simply grateful.
He looked at her back and said in his heart, Miss Li, it doesn't matter if you provoked the young master last night, but it affected him and Ruan Mo to see the young master's stinky face for a night, and suffered his namelessness for a long time.
Whoever causes trouble should be cleaned up, and it can't be so harmful to the pond fish.
Ruan Mingyu had just changed his clothes in the main room, rolled up his sleeves and waited for the water to come and wash, but when he saw Li Jingshan come in, he was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his eyelids to hide the surprise in his eyes.
"So you're here. I also asked Ruan Shu to look for it. ”
Li Jingshan put the basin on the shelf, and the towel was rinsed in the water, "The young master has something to say, just command, you don't have to make so many turns." ”
Ruan Mingyu put his hand into the basin and held her hand under the water: "Why, yesterday you said that you wanted to help me and achieve me, and today you are separated from me like this?" ”
"Raw points?" Li Jingshan looked at him and asked, "I have a master-servant relationship with you in the other courtyard, and a subordinate relationship in the Jingbao Pavilion, what else do we have to say?" ”
Ruan Mingyu's jaw tightened, and he realized that this girl could always arouse his anger with just a few words. I have put down my body several times to improve my relationship with her, which has never been done before. But every time this Nizi opened her mouth, she poked him straight at the sore spot.
His eyes deepened, but the smile on his face grew, "There are many relationships." From the first time we met, I saved you; Later, your family lived on the streets, and I gave you a house to live in; I made the strip and son of your brother to study in the Xuan...... One by one,"
He approached Li Jingshan's ear, and the hot air warmly pounced on her ear, and said softly, "...... Do you think you should make a promise? ”
Li Jingshan suddenly struggled back. With a "bang", the basin of water knocked to the ground. Hot water splashed both of them.
The two little men who were waiting in the courtyard were startled by the movement. Ruan Shu jumped up and was about to go in to see the situation, but was quickly stopped by Ruan Mo.
"Don't want to die, don't go in." Ruan Mo said expressionlessly.
"This ......" Ruan Shu pricked up his ears and listened, seeing that there was no next move. Hurriedly retracted the step he had taken, and said to Ruan Mo: "Thank you, save my brother's life." ”
Ruan Mo glanced at him. Ruan Shu hurriedly continued, "You don't have to make a promise by yourself." ”
The two people in the room were also startled by this voice, and watched in a daze as the basin circled on the ground. It wasn't until it stopped quietly on the ground and stopped making a sound that Li Jingshan looked up at Ruan Mingyu and said calmly: "I made a promise with my body, but I promised it to the Treasure Hunting Pavilion." Young master, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. You told me. ”
After speaking, he curtsied calmly, "Please allow the slave to change her clothes." Calmly turned around and walked out calmly.
Ruan Mingyu looked at her back and clenched his fists hanging at his side. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been behind her many times, watching her leave......
-------
Li Jingshan went back to her house in the courtyard to change her clothes, because Li Jingjue went home in the afternoon, she and Mrs. Li just used this as an excuse to say goodbye and leave. When I got home, sure enough, Li Jingjue had already returned, and she brought a large bag of things to give to her sister.
Li Jingshan looked at this warm male brother who is now taller than herself, and gave birth to the illusion that this kid will soon be able to set up a household. She simply made a mistake, pulled her younger brother aside, and explained the big and small things in the family. Even the cat at home has been arranged, explaining which meal to feed the fish and which meal to feed.
Mrs. Li was on the side to laugh at her daughter-in-law, but Li Jingjue listened very seriously, nodded solemnly, and finally promised Li Jingshan: "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of my mother and never let her lose a meat or two!" ”
The mother and daughter both laughed, "Your goal is to make people fat." ”
Li Jingjue replied, "Girls have to eat a little fat, and they will be healthy and healthy when they look at it." He reached out and pinched Li Jingshan's arm, "Sister, it's just too thin." ”
Li Jingshan raised her eyebrows, the little cub has grown up and knows how to evaluate girls.
Li Jingjue said again, "By the way, I just came back and met Brother Li Zhang, he was also going to see you off, I can't wait to leave first." Tell me to give this to you. As he spoke, he brought out a cloth bag.
Li Jingshan opened it and saw that it was a white animal skin again.
The high-grade fox fur that Li Zhang gave on his last birthday, Li Jingshan took the opportunity to give it to Li Zhang's wife Liu Qiaohui. Although he didn't tell Li Zhangming about this, he couldn't hide it from him in general. That's why he sent another one?
Li Jingshan picked up the leather and looked at it, and Li Jingjue also came over, "Brother Li Zhang said, this is a rabbit skin, not a rare thing, it is cold in Beijing in winter, just take it for you to make a sleeve." ”
Li Jingshan let go of her worries and happily took the skin.
He said regretfully: "I promised to design a set of heads and noodles for his wife as a dowry." It's time to set off before I have time. He didn't even drink his wedding wine. You help me tell him that I will definitely make up for the bride when I arrive in the capital. ”
"Order!" Li Jingjue responded loudly, "I heard that he will hold a ceremony at the end of this year, maybe you can catch up." ”
Li Jingshan smiled and said in her heart, if she can catch up, it would be good to send blessings in person.
In the evening, Li Jingshan checked the good things and was about to rest early, but saw Mrs. Li walk in.
Li Jingshan thought that her mother was not worried about her, so she still wanted to nagging a few words, and was about to smile and persuade her to relax, but she saw her mother solemnly say to her: "Shan'er, before your father was imprisoned, he solemnly entrusted me to keep this book properly. Later, your second uncle asked me for it many times, and even made it clear that as long as he got this book, he would do his best to save your father from fire and water. ”
Mrs. Li opened the cloth bag in her hand, revealing a yellowed old book, and on the light blue cover, there were several seal books "Molten Gold and Quenching Jade Records" written uprightly.
Mrs. Li sighed, "I almost gave it to your second uncle a few times." I just thought that at that time, my husband told me a thousand times not to fall into the hands of others. I thought that if he really came out safely, if not...... Haven't I failed to live up to the last bit of trust he trusted......"
Mrs. Li's eyes turned slightly red as she spoke, and she was busy hiding her smile, "Now that he is gone, this book is the most suitable for you." It's time to live up to his original intention. ”
Li Jingshan saw that her mother said solemnly, so she hurriedly picked up the book and flipped through it, and the opening chapter was: The world is rare, and the magic hand can get it, melt gold and quench jade, and cast its shape. Carved and polished, endowed with fineness, soaked in the years, and left its name in the end.
Li Jingshan's heart was shocked, and she continued to turn back. On the pages of the book, there are beautiful patterns of colorful jewelry drawings, and the specific shapes, characteristics, and wearing effects are annotated in small print on the side. Every page is beautiful!
"This is ......" Li Jingshan was surprised, "This is a book of jewelry making?!" ”
"It's half a book."
“…… Half a book? Li Jingshan hurriedly flipped to the end, and sure enough, the traces of being torn were impressive. There's not even a back cover.
"How could it be...... Only half a copy? Li Jingshan was unspeakably sorry and sad.
As a jeweler, she knows the value of this book very well, just as the scientific examination lifter gets the exam question set, and the doctor finds immortality. However...... Why do you only have half a book?!
"Your father said that he had no intention of searching for this book from the people, and when he got it, he only had half a copy. It looks like a relic of the previous dynasty. It's good to keep things that have been war-torn to keep them. ”
Mrs. Li sighed, "I mentioned to you before that many unbelievable exquisite jewelry, the designs of which are amazing today, are recorded in this book. It's just a pity...... In this half of the book, only the exquisite jewelry is recorded, and there is no craftsmanship and materials. It seems that the craftsmanship was recorded in the second half of the lost book. ”
Li Jingshan carefully looked through the secret book again, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she was attracted by the wonderful jewelry. She only felt that those beautiful jewelry seemed to have a spirit and soul, and they wanted to hook her soul.
Seeing that she was fascinated, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Okay, this book is yours now, and it's not too late to read it slowly in the future." You've got to go to bed tomorrow, so go to bed early. ”
Li Jingshan woke up and smiled embarrassedly, "Mother should have rested earlier." ”
After sending her mother away, Li Jingshan immersed herself in the book again and couldn't extricate herself, until she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she put away the book properly, washed up and fell asleep in a hurry.
-----
On April 22, it is advisable to get married, travel, and ask for divination. It's an auspicious day.
Chang Yong and Zhang Mingjun's two carriages with their servants were about to rush to Taizhou, the next place to check the accounts, and the carriage for the goods to Ruan Mingyu was empty, just in time for Li Jingshan.
Ruan Mingyu and Shopkeeper Hong kept sending them out of the city gate, and Mrs. Li and Li Jingjue also sent them out.
Several shopkeepers of Jingbao Pavilion walked in front and talked about business, and the Li family walked behind and talked privately. Ruan Mingyu was dealing with the big men, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the sound behind him.
He listened to Mrs. Li's babbling explanation to pay attention to safety, and listened to Li Jingjue's vow to take care of the family, and finally heard Li Jingshan smile and say: "I know, every time I go to a place, I will write to you to report your safety, it's okay." ”
Ruan Mingyu's heart moved, and he touched a small pendant tied around his waist.
Finally sent to the outside of the city, Chang Yong hurriedly called Liubu, "If you send it again, you will send it to Taizhou, and I have to send you back." ”
Ruan Mingyu and Shopkeeper Hong stopped at this time. He untied the object and asked Ruan Shu to send it to Li Jingshan.
Ruan Shu looked surprised when he saw it, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he took it directly to Li Jingshan: "This is the third young master's private seal." Girl, if you want to send a message, use this seal to stamp it, and you can go through the Ruan family's own channel to send the letter, which will be much faster than the official road. If there is any situation, as long as there is a place for Ruan's shop, you can also show for help. ”
He scratched his head and said, "The young master said, take it for you...... Self-defense. ”
Li Jingshan took it, looked at the small copper seal that was polished smooth, and looked carefully at the seal on it, which was the word "feather" in Yang.
Self-defense? I think it's a chain. Li Jingshan pursed her lips, put the seal in her bag, and thanked her lightly, "Thank you." Thank you for me, young master. ”
Ruan Shu scratched his head and said, "This thank you, can the girl move over and tell the young master in person?" ”
Li Jingshan glanced at the person over there, but saw that Ruan Mingyu deliberately turned his head to the side and didn't look at her. She smiled, "The young master didn't come here in person, so he gave me this thing." ”
Ruan Shu only smiled bitterly, this Li girl and the young master are really a natural pair, and they have a pair. Even the temperament is the same.
While speaking, Chang Yong beckoned everyone to leave, Li Jingshan said goodbye to her family again, and didn't look at Ruan Mingyu again, just got into the carriage.
Ruan Mingyu watched the convoy go away, and suddenly asked Ruan Shudao, "What did that girl say just now?" ”
Ruan Shu hurriedly learned Li Jingshan's words as they were.
Ruan Mingyu smiled bitterly, yes, he actually competed with this girl like this. Now that the person is gone, I can't even hear her thank you.
Who is to blame for this?
