Li Jingyao turned her head and saw that she was a handsome young man in a light green robe, with graceful eyebrows and eyes, and a chic temperament, like a fresh green bamboo in the midst of thousands of flowers.

Li Jingyao was sighing at this person's good skin, when she heard Mrs. Fang ask, "This son, why did you persuade me not to choose this one?" ”

The young man curled the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows flew obliquely, and he smiled: "Madam, your face is like a full moon, and the heavenly court is full, and you are already rich and noble. Although this peony is graceful and the flower shape is in full bloom, it is not suitable for Mrs. to wear. ”

"Why?"

The young man sighed regretfully, drew two circles stacked on top of each other, and blinked, "Although we think that the gourd represents blessing, if it is used as makeup, it is really inappropriate. ”

Li Jingyao suddenly changed color and said sharply, "You are talking nonsense!" ”

Mrs. Fang was originally puzzled, glanced at her makeup in the mirror, and suddenly realized that she had a round face, and a round flower on her head, it was not a gourd-shaped shape formed by two circles!

Mrs. Fang's face immediately became quite unsightly, she barely maintained a polite smile, took off the hairpin and put it back on the counter, no longer paying attention to Li Jingyao, but said to the young man with a pleasant face: "Then may I ask the son, what kind of jewelry should be chosen for the concubine's body, Fang is appropriate?" ”

"Madame has a fair complexion, and the heavenly court is full, in fact, it is very good to comb a horse bun or a bun to the sky, and wear an eight-step hairpin or a golden step. You can try. The young man laughed skillfully.

When Mrs. Fang heard this, she asked with interest, "Really?" So you see, which one is right for me here? ”

"Here—" He shook his head slightly, but smiled.

Mrs. Fang has been socializing all year round, so she is so obedient, and immediately smiled: "Then may I ask Son, where can I find suitable jewelry?" ”

The young man's peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, his eyes were soft and warm like a spring breeze, and he presented a gilded name card with both hands: "If Mrs. does not dislike it, please move to the Jingbao Pavilion another day, and welcome you in the court!" ”

Mrs. Fang took it, glanced at it and said with a smile: "Since the prince is kindly invited, it is better for the concubine to be respectful." ”

The young man bowed to her and walked away.

Mrs. Fang then also left Si Zhenfang, leaving Li Jingyao stunned with gritted teeth. The other ladies gathered at the counter also snickered and dispersed when they saw the situation.

These female dependents all came with their own masters, and now that they are leaving, it is naturally inconvenient for the man to stay for a long time, and the lobby of Si Zhenfang is soon crowded, showing a little emptiness.

Li Zhixuan listened to Li Jingyao's crying, and his face was so cold that he could drip water: "Ruan family child, it's really too deceitful!" ”

Li Jingyao said hatefully, "Dad, let's let Master Ma find his mistake and smash his shop!" I think he's crazy! ”

Li Zhixuan reprimanded: "Confused! Do you think it can be solved through the government? The roots of Jingbao Pavilion are in the capital, and the big merchants who can gain a firm foothold there will be afraid of you in a small county office? ”

"Then, can we just let him step on his head?" Li Jingyao was so angry that she began to wipe her tears again.

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Li Zhixuan's eyes were ruthless, and he said coldly: "His foundation is in the capital, and our Si Zhenfang has been here for nearly a hundred years, and he can't be rampant!" ”

However, in the evening, the cabinet manager of Si Zhenfang presented a list of congratulatory gifts sent by major merchants during the day, and Li Zhixuan was so angry that he almost tore up the paper when he saw the gifts of Jingbao Pavilion.

In the column of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, the gift clearly written is: a red gold "snake swallowing elephant" sculpture!

After a while, Li Zhixuan used his trembling fingers to unfold the gift list that he had crumpled up little by little, gritted his teeth and said: "Jingbao Pavilion, if you have the ability, you will come, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold you to death!" ”

------

The secret wrestling between the two major jewelers in Minzhou City did not affect the Ruan family courtyard in the west of the city at all.

Sister-in-law Zhang watched Li Jingshan put a plate of fried shrimp with five sons on the side to look like a rich flower, and whispered to her, "I asked for the jewelry you made in the neighborhood, and many people like it." They asked if they could help make the gold ornaments, which looked a little plain? ”

"Naturally. It's just that gold is valuable, and if it is made into jewelry, the price will be higher. Li Jingshan nodded.

"In fact, we ordinary people can't afford to buy large gold jewelry, just to celebrate the color." Sister-in-law Zhang held up the wisteria-inlaid silver bracelet in her hand and said with a smile: "I have two concubines, so I like this style of gold-inlaid bracelet." ”

Li Jingshan packed up the food box, hurriedly washed her hands and took out a painting book, and showed the patterns she designed to Sister-in-law Zhang, "These are the jewelry patterns I painted, you can show them." If you need any changes, you can also mention it to me. ”

"Done! It just so happened that my sister-in-law wanted to make a set of small head noodles. I'll show it to her. Sister-in-law Zhang took it with a smile, and when she saw Zhen'er coming in to get the food box, she hurriedly took the conversation and handed the food box over.

"Why did you change the big food box now? Did the young master order to add vegetables? Zhen'er was carrying a food box that was one size larger than the original, and her arm was about to break under heavy pressure.

Li Jingshan pointed to the large plates on the countertop and said, "There are still so many dishes, but the young master ordered that large plates and bowls should be used for plating, so the food box must also be served with large ones." ”

Zhen'er glanced at Sister-in-law Zhang and said with a smile: "In this way, I don't know if the young master likes the taste of the Chinese food more in this daily meal, or does he have more variety of dishes?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang's eyes widened, and she was about to speak, Li Jingshan gently pulled her and said slowly: "Sister-in-law Zhang makes delicious dishes, and I put on a beautiful show, all of which are in accordance with the young master's instructions and do my part with peace of mind." As for what the master thinks, it's not something we should speculate on as subordinates. Sister Zhen'er, what do you say? ”

Zhen'er originally wanted to use this to provoke the relationship between Sister-in-law Zhang and Li Jingshan, thinking that Sister-in-law Zhang was the chef and steward of the kitchen, as long as she was wary of Li Jingshan, she would have a hard time in the future.

Unexpectedly, he gave Li Jingshan a handle to talk about the master, and hurriedly took her hand and smiled, "I said it casually, sister, don't care." As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up the food box and hurried out.

Sister-in-law Zhang was especially angry and spat out the door, "I didn't have a good hoof!" What's more, less, it's her business! She patted Li Jingshan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't be so shallow, I'll fart those bastard words!" ”

Li Jingshan shook her head slightly, "Don't worry, just ignore her in the future." ”

She had never taken Zhen'er's trick seriously. To be honest, there are only a dozen or so people in this courtyard, and everyone performs their duties and does their part well, so what is there to fight for? Maybe only Zhen'er, who is bent on being on the throne, has so many calculations. But who can hide that little bit of thought?

She has now woken up Zhen'er euphemistically, the presentation of the dishes was ordered by the young master, if that Nizi still dared to mess up secretly without opening her eyes, then she would figure out how to explain it to the young master herself. She can't carry this pot for her all the time.

Sure enough, today's dishes were delivered to the young master's room, and they were still neatly arranged and pleasing to the eye.

Ruan Mingyu sat at the table, looking at the novel dishes in front of him, showing a slight smile. He happily picked up the dishes and chopsticks. The meal was heartily fed.

Sure enough, the delicate presentation can increase the appetite, and it seems that the conditions mentioned by Na Nizi are not useless. When Ruan Mingyu washed his hands and cleaned his face, he happily thought that this deal was not a loss.

Zhen'er handed over the twisted towel, looked at the young master's soft eyebrows and eyes, and smiled boldly: "Young master, now that the weather is getting hotter, the slave has embroidered two sweat towels for you." The size is also a part of the slave's heart, don't dislike it. As he spoke, he took out two squarely folded sweat towels and held them with both hands.

Ruan Mingyu took it with a smile and smelled a fragrance. This veil is actually smoked with incense, which shows that Zhen'er has exhausted her thoughts.

The corners of his mouth curled, "This magnolia flower fragrance is just like Zhen'er's orchid heart." With a smile in his eyebrows, he approached Zhen'er and said softly on her face, "You have a heart." I love it. ”

His warm breath swept across Zhen'er's neck, instantly burning Zhen'er's face red.

Zhen'er wrung her hands, bowed her head and said shyly, "I'...... If the young master likes it, Zhen'er will be satisfied...... The slave and maid are gone! With that, he hurriedly turned around and ran out of the main room. In a hurry, he hit the stool and made a loud noise.

Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo came back with food boxes, and happened to meet Zhen'er and ran out in a hurry. Ruan Shu hurriedly entered the house and asked, "Young Master, that Zhen'er girl ran as if the courtyard was on fire just now, what's wrong?" ”

Ruan Mingyu took the two sweat towels and said with a smile, "It's nothing, maybe I accidentally lit a fire." He stuffed the sweat towel into Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo's arms, "I've rewarded you." ”

Ruan Shu opened it and saw that there were two pearls embroidered on the lower left corner of the sweat towel, and he realized: "This is what the girl gave you just now." ”

Ruan Mingyu had already walked into the inner room and said lazily, "I'll take it for you." Talkative! ”

Ruan Mo stuffed the one in his hand into Ruan Shu's arms: "Reward you!" ”

"You ——!" Ruan Shu glared, and then smiled, "Okay, I'll save it for you." I have hundreds of young masters here, and Ah Mo also has fourteen or fifteen of yours. When you get married, I will take these colorful veils and send them to you as a gift! ”

Ruan Mo looked at him with a strange expression. Ruan Shu was inexplicable, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Ruan Mingyu laughed inside, "Ah Shu, are you stupid!" Giving a handkerchief as a gift means conveying affection. Are you blatantly digging into the corners of the bride in front of your wedding relatives and friends? ”

Ruan Shuwei shouted, "Spare me!" I don't dare dig his ......" came to his senses halfway through, nodded his nose and said, "No! Young master, you say me, I'll dig him? I dig him! ”

He saw Ruan Mingyu laughing and rolling on the bed, even Ruan Mo's thousand-year-old iceberg face showed a slight expression of laughter, and finally understood, and wailed: "You, you just bully me-"
