Chapter Thirty-Six: First Acquaintance with the Treasure Pavilion

Ruan Mingyu didn't seem to expect her to refuse so simply, and said strangely: "You were originally bought by me, and you should work for me, and now you are paid separately, do you still have any opinions?" ”

"Young master, I was bought to serve you, not to design jewelry." Li Jingshan argued, "Now this is my extra job, isn't it appropriate to negotiate the price?" ”

The corners of Ruan Mingyu's mouth were slightly raised, as if he thought such a negotiation was interesting. He sat down and took out the posture of talking about business, "I allow you to use my equipment and my raw materials, and these are not counted as money for you." ”

Li Jingshan took out the prepared gilt jewelry and said seriously: "I worked in your workshop and brought new technology, this must be considered a value." ”

Looking at the golden hairpin, Ruan Mingyu's heart moved. He mused, "How much do you really want?" ”

Li Jingshan was waiting for his words, and immediately said: "I want technical dividends!" ”

She briefly told Ruan Mingyu what she had talked to Zhang Qiaoyan in Xiuzhuang before. Ruan Mingyu understood the trick as soon as he heard it, and his eyes were full of brilliance, and even the corners of his eyes were dyed with a smile. This Nizi really surprises him every time.

He made a decision categorically, "Okay, just share the dividends according to the technology you said." But the distribution of profits in the jewelry industry is different from embroidery, and I can only give you half of the dividend. ”

He saw that Li Jingshan was going to continue to argue, and added: "If the sales volume is good, you can increase the share next year." ”

Li Jingshan was stunned, showing a puzzled look: "Sales? Do you still want to sell it? ”

Ruan Mingyu glanced at her and said strangely: "This is not clothing." I don't want to sell these jewelry, do I want to wear it myself? ”

Li Jingshan said: "Isn't it for the Oiran sisters in your building?" ”

"What Oiran? Where did I come from, sister? Ruan Mingyu glared and said in a low voice, "Slow! What do you think I'm in the business? ”

"......" Li Jingshan looked at Young Master Ruan's face full of anger, and didn't dare to continue. Did you guess wrong?

"Do you, do you think I'm the turtle who opened the Qinglou?!" Ruan Mingyu looked at her and saw it at a glance, he slapped the table angrily, "Your dividends will be halved again!" ”

Li Jingshan was negotiating this side, and Ma Gongzi on the other side took the jewelry confiscated by the official and asked for credit in front of Li Jingyao.

"Sister Yao, how do you say you want to thank me this time?" Ma Jirong inserted a gilded crested hairpin into Li Jingyao's hair.

"The slave family has given you everything, how can Brother Ji thank me?" Li Jingyao said with a smile, she looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, and smiled proudly, but her eyes were fierce, "Hmph, Li Jingshan's hooves dare to threaten me like that, I can't turn over again!" ”

Ma Jirong said, "Don't worry, if she still dares to sell jewelry, I will definitely see it smashed once, so that others will not dare to cooperate with her again." ”

"Not only jewelry, but everything else as well!" Li Jingyao snorted: "I want her to be like a rat crossing the street, and she will be a slave for the rest of her life." ”

Ma Jirong didn't have such a deep hatred for Li Jingshan, and didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, so he played with the hairpin on her head and said: "How did this hairpin make it look like real gold, is it really the craftsmanship of your company's treasures?" ”

Li Jingyao took off the crested hairpin and looked at it carefully, thinking, "I asked the masters in our workshop, and they haven't seen it either. But ......" She showed a greedy look in her eyes, looked up at Ma Ji Rongqiao and smiled: "Brother Ji, can you take all the confiscated jewelry away from me?" ”

"Do you want to sell it in the store?" Ma Jirong smiled: "Ha, why not." It's the last time Li girl offended you and gave you an apology. But how are you going to thank me? ”

Li Jingyao said shyly, "Brother Ji, how do you want me to thank you?" She blushed and kissed him on the lips. Ma Jirong couldn't wait to meet him, and the two quickly rolled into bed again.

The pink gauze tent obscured the two intertwined figures.

On the second day, after serving Young Master Ruan for breakfast, Li Jingshan packed up her things and was about to retreat, when she heard Ruan Shu call him: "Miss Ruan, Young Master told you to pack up and go out with us." ”

Li Jingshan cautiously glanced at the back room blocked by the screen, knowing that Young Master Ruan was changing clothes inside, she asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?" ”

Before Ruan Shu could answer, he heard Young Master Ruan's cold voice coming from inside, "Pull you to my building to laugh and pick up customers, do you dare to go?" ”

Li Jingshan shrank her shoulders and hurriedly responded, "Yes, the slave understands." He hurriedly withdrew with the food box.

Ruan Shu was still laughing and said, "Remember to dress up nicely!" ”

Li Jingshan sat in Ruan Mingyu's carriage and picked the farthest position from Ruan Mingyu. She looked at Young Master Ruan's still cold face, and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders again, really hoping that she could shrink into a piece of paper and stuff it into a gap, so as to avoid the young master's knife-like eyes.

Ruan Mingyu snorted, "Don't worry, with your appearance, if you put it in my building, it will only smash my signboard." I'd better hide you in the backyard and be a fire girl. ”

"......" Li Jingshan was speechless, should she thank the young master for letting her go, or should she be angry that the young master derogated her?

Ruan Mingyu looked at her deflated appearance, and her mood after a depressed day finally improved slightly.

When they arrived at the Jingbao Pavilion, Ruan Mingyu instructed Ruan Shu to take Li Jingshan to look around, and he and Ruan Mo went straight into the inner hall account room to find the shopkeeper Hong.

Standing in front of the three-storey Jing Bao Ge shop, Li Jingshan really knew that the owner's industry was also the jewelry industry.

Ruan Shu took her to look at it while walking, "Our Jingbao Pavilion has been established for nearly a hundred years, after seven generations of shopkeepers, from fifteen years ago Ruan Jinghong Ruan's big shopkeeper - that is, the father of the third young master Ruan - took over, to now it has developed from the capital to eight branches in five provinces, and it is also a pivotal jewelry store in the capital!" ”

Li Jingshan listened to Ruan Shu's proud introduction, looked at the exhibits on the counter, and found that those jewelry designs were indeed different from the exquisite elegance of Si Zhenfang, but an atmosphere of luxury.

"This can be a great credit to our Third Young Master Ruan. In the business circle of the capital, Young Master Ruan is recognized as a business wizard! Ruan Shu gave a thumbs up and said proudly. You see, all the furnishings in this store are designed by our young master himself. ”

Business wizard? I think it's a profiteer wizard. Li Jingshan slandered in her heart. However, looking at the furnishings in the store, there are meticulous details everywhere, and I have to admit that this young master is not just a gentleman.

The talking room has gone up to the private room on the second floor.

"This is a place to entertain big customers, divided into four plum orchids and lotus chrysanthemums, and the corresponding flowers and plants are offered all year round." Ruan Shu still said as he walked, "Each private room has corresponding decorative items, such as this plum pavilion, which is lit with agarwood incense, and the tea is a big red robe; The chrysanthemum pavilion on the opposite side is sandalwood, and the tea is also chrysanthemum tea. ”

Li Jingshan's face was calm, and she only nodded lightly and said, "Are these also arranged by the young master?" ”

Ruan Shuying said: "Of course! At the beginning, the young master tried his best to disagree with the people in charge of the headquarters, just to start a branch here in Minzhou, so it naturally took twelve points of effort to take care of it. Secretly observing her while speaking, I saw that she did not show timidity at all, but seemed to be used to such a pomp, and secretly wondered in my heart.

Walking around the second floor, Li Jingshan asked, "Is the third floor where the workshop is located?" ”

Ruan Shu smiled mysteriously, shook his finger, and said, "Master, I'll take you to open your eyes." ”

When I got to the third floor, I saw a door on the porch, and the four compartments inside were also locked. Ruan Shu opened the lock and entered, standing at the porch, opening one hand and bowing slightly on his chest with the other, which was a full gesture of welcoming guests: "Welcome to the Treasure Pavilion!" ”

Each door opens in turn, except for the four walls of the house hung with ancient paintings, the inside is empty, only in the center of the room, a glass booth is placed, and the large octagonal palace lamp hanging on the top shines on the booth, illuminating a set of exquisite jewelry inside. The first room is a glittering fifty-six pieces of birds and phoenixes wearing flowers and gold heads; the second room is 36 pieces of jade jade carving inlaid with eight treasures head ornaments; The third room is 50 pieces of emerald burnt blue butterflies wrapped around the flower head; The fourth room is to save gold flowers and silk inlaid with hundreds of treasures and hundreds of bats to offer longevity.

Each piece is beautiful, and each piece represents the top craftsmanship of Jingbao Pavilion!

Li Jingshan stood in front of the booth and stared for a long time, deeply shocked by the beauty of those arts and exquisite handiwork, and couldn't take a step for a long time.

Such exquisite jewelry, she has also seen in the Si Zhen Fang, but also in the important treasury of the Si Zhen Fang, the masterpieces made by the masters of the past generations are sometimes priceless, and will be passed down from generation to generation as a fine product for future generations to figure out and learn. The selection of a copy of the jewelry is also a great honor for its author.

At that time, her father Li Zhiyuan was in charge of the company's treasure workshop, and he once took her into the warehouse to see those treasures, and there was a set of Li Zhiyuan's works. She was so impressed that she became obsessed with jewelry design and creation.

Now that she has seen such exquisite jewelry, the emotions of the original owner, Miss Li, surged in Li Jingshan's heart and resonated again. Her hands rested on the glass case, and her eyes were full of reverence and longing – reverence for craftsmanship and a desire for the beauty of creation!

Ruan Shu stood next to Li Jingshan and felt that her chaste face was faintly shining under the lamp, and there was a sense of holiness. He said secretly, the young master arranged for him to bring her here, didn't he fall in love with this girl and this industry?

"Are all these jewels made by craftsmen here?" Li Jingshan asked suddenly.

"Huh? No. Ruan Shu thought about it, and only then did he react, and hurriedly said: "This is the treasure of the town pavilion transferred by the headquarters of the capital." He praised again: "There are more than a dozen sets of such jewelry in the Beijing headquarters!" ”

Li Jingshan nodded calmly. Ruan Shu saw a trace of disappointment in her eyes, and before she could delve into it, she asked, "Where is the workshop of the Jingbao Pavilion?" ”

"In the back. Behind this main building is the bookkeeping and workshop. Ruan Shu led Li Jingshan to the back and said: "The opening time here is still short, and most of the jewelry on sale is still transferred from the headquarters or other branches, and the scale of the workshop is not large. In the future, depending on the scale of the store's operation, we will consider expanding the workshop system. ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the workshop at the back of the building. Li Jingshan saw that in a huge room, it was divided into several areas such as casting, grinding, and Seiko, but the process was complete. There are people busy in every area, but in terms of size, it is indeed much smaller than Si Zhen Fang.

After looking around, Li Jingshan asked, "Will I also work here in the future?" ”

"This ......," Ruan Shu hesitated, "the young master didn't give orders, and the little one didn't know." ”

"Oh, where is the young master?"
