"A diamond is forever, a diamond is forever! This type of diamond ring is more suitable for making wedding bands, which come in pairs. And it refers to the diamond that has been polished, the king of gemstones, which is extremely rare in nature, and one less is mined, and there is no substitute! Its connotation is elegant, moving, and pure, representing the permanent meaning of pure love, is it still suitable! ”

Li Zhi's plagiarized words can come out of his mouth.

"A diamond lasts forever." Princess Taiping lowered her head, muttered in a low voice, and suddenly praised loudly, "Good words! Catchy, it seems to be a bit straightforward, but the artistic conception is far-reaching, a metaphor for emotional appeal. Deliberately used in the marriage of men and women, it can quickly establish affinity and open up the charm association. And in just two sentences, the effect can be quantified instantly, and you will never forget it! ”

"Hehe, is Her Royal Highness the Princess's evaluation a little excessive?" Li Zhi smiled slightly.

"It's not an exaggeration, and once diamonds are on the market, they will only get more and more intense, and such a beautiful thing is so beautiful that not only women are obsessed with it, but men will only have their eyes sparkle when they see it! What's more, what is more exciting is that it can maintain its value, which has exceeded the natural value of ordinary gemstones, and can increase in a certain period of time. ”

Maybe others don't know that Princess Taiping at this time has long lost the kind of coquettish style she usually has, even in her husband's house, it is occasionally revealed, and at this time, those who are familiar with her are even more surprised.

Li Zhi can detect through true qi, this woman's heart is calm and different from ordinary people after seeing the momentary fluctuation of the diamond, it is obvious that all this is disguised.

She has been spoiled in the inner court for more than ten years, and she has never seen any treasures, and when she puts on such a posture, it is obvious that she is using her charm tricks.

"That's good! This gives me more confidence in diamonds. These should be the appreciation gifts of the Qing Wenqitang to Her Royal Highness the Princess. In the future, if there is a strange colored diamond to be developed, we will once again thank you for today's promotional word judge! ”

"Mr. Li is so polite, I only picked up a few grains, even if I got acquainted with Mr. Li, if you don't give it to me, you have to ask for a few grains to count as today's commemoration. If there are so many sayings, it is inevitable that they will fall into clichés. ”

She may not really see these, only the size of the finger belly diamond in her eyes, but in such an unpolished rough state, no matter how well-informed people are, there is always a little curiosity.

She was very serious about picking the moment on the stone table, and Li Zhi didn't forget to say a few polite words to Wu Sansi, even if that person had this intention in his heart, he would not compete in front of Princess Taiping.

"I wonder when Mr. Lee's snuff will be on the market? Now the Manchu Dynasty seems to be waiting for them to be on the market! ”

Li Zhi casually handed him a white jade snuff bottle, "I'm thinking about the arrangement of the shop in the West Market!" Don't hide it from the general, Zhengqing Wenqitang also has a high degree of wine and fruit wine that have been successfully developed, but there is no suitable store furnishings. ”

"Oh? As far as I know, Mr. Nishichi's court-rewarded façade room is a three-story building like this place, but it is the only and largest shop there, and it is not enough to place these goods? ”

"My jade carvings and diamonds will be moved to the third floor, and rice paper and other paper products will need to be moved to the West Market. At the same time, there are also natural flavors developed, hundreds of small bottles almost occupy one layer, and then there are paper products and snuff, three layers of pavement have been occupied, where is there a place for alcohol! ”

Princess Taiping suddenly stretched out her hand to beg, "Mr. Li, if you don't open your mouth, my sister has really forgotten!" A few days ago, the fourth brother gave me a drop of rose essential oil and mixed it with a pound of perfume, is it the natural fragrance that the perfume says? ”

Li Zhi instantly sensed the real fluctuations in this woman's heart, it turned out that the rare and exotic treasures were still difficult to impress her, but they couldn't resist the natural flower fragrance that women loved the most.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is in my hands the first batch of research and development products, that day I just met His Highness, and I handed it over to him to spray it in the study, so that the Holy One can have a good mood every day! Unfortunately, there is no rose essential oil on hand today, but there is a bottle of jasmine fragrance, which is given to Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

Princess Taiping grabbed it, and as soon as she opened the cork, she was stimulated by the fragrance and felt comfortable, "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!" ”

This is said to be the world's first fragrance chrysanthemum jasmine king refined, although the jasmine fragrance is a relatively light fragrance, not very strong, but its fragrance is the most likely to make people produce a relaxed, quiet mood, rational qi relief depression also has a miraculous effect. Especially for bathing, drop a few drops of diluted essential oil in the bath bucket, wash refreshing and comfortable, and the skin is smooth and soft; After taking a bath, the body will leave the fragrance of flowers, and it will not disperse for a day! ”

Princess Taiping obviously loved this thing very much, and she was careful to seal it tightly, always staring at it, but she suddenly said without raising her head: "Mr. Li can find a suitable shop in the West Market?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head, "The good location is very small, the location with enough area is too remote, and it is located in the city, so it is extremely inconvenient to enter and exit!" ”

"Mr. Li refers to the former site of the military headquarters in the northeast corner of Xishi?" Princess Taiping raised her head and looked at him.

Before Li Zhi could interject, Li Qi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, have you taken a fancy to the abandoned barracks used by the original local garrison?" ”

Princess Taiping glanced at him with a little surprise, and then looked at Li Zhi: "It turns out that Mr. Li didn't know the location through Fanghua Shangshu?" ”

"It was Han Qing, the second brother of the Ming Palace, who returned to Chang'an City, and talked about it during the banquet at noon, and heard him say that he had this position!"

"Li Ling, Li Hanqing? By the way, he has served as the secretary of the military department for several years, and Fanghua Shangshu is his position! Fanghua Shangshu, it is said that there are nearly ten acres of vacant land underground? ”

Li Qi nodded and replied, "It was originally a military powerhouse, and the underground was used as a secret arsenal, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years!" ”

"Is there a problem with Mr. Li taking it?"

"No problem at all! For the imperial court, it was already a chicken rib at this time, and it was sold as a façade house, and others were only willing to pay for the three floors above ground; When it is sold as a warehouse, it cannot solve the problem of cars and horses entering and exiting, and naturally no one cares! ”

"So, the price isn't too high?"

"A one-time purchase of private property, the relevant departments offered 7,800 taels of silver, to be honest, it is a bit expensive, and it is indeed a little inconsistent with reality to treat it as a commercial building in the West Market!"

"Of course it doesn't match, and it's a serious one! I know that the city in the city there, even if the army is stationed and driven away strongly, it has no effect for a few years, and you say that there are still many shadows of the West City in that position, and it is difficult for personnel to cross the past empty-handed! ”

Speaking of this, Princess Taiping turned to look at Li Zhi, "Mr. Li is interested in that location?" ”

Li Zhi smiled, "It is indeed very suitable for me, of course, the premise is that it is based on the free entry and exit of cars and horses!" The ten acres of underground space is perfect for use as a wine cellar, but unfortunately, the future development of Zhengqing Wenqitang wine industry is to popularize the whole country, and the door is blocked, so it will not be able to ship goods in large quantities! Alas, it's a pity! ”

"Didn't Mr. Li think of opening another door in another location? Although it does not belong to the West Market, it is also on its outer wall, and in the future, it is possible to remove part of the outer wall and put that location in the West Market! I think Mr. Lee has the ability. ”

"Great!" Li Zhi's expression straightened up excitedly, and he suddenly looked interested, "I was talking about this at noon, and there were guests from the Ming Palace, but the second brother didn't talk to me in detail, so there is still such an operation method?" ”

Li Qi explained to him with a slightly wry smile, "The most suitable place for the façade to be opened is on the opposite side of Princess Taiping's mansion. ”

Princess Taiping smiled, pretty, like water covering the mist, flattering and rippling, the corners of her small mouth were slightly upturned, and her red lips were slightly open, wanting to attract people to Fengze.

This is a woman who exudes bewitching charm from her bones, she seems to be seducing men all the time and tugging at men's nerves.

"Mr. Li, it is indeed my private house when I was in my boudoir, but I can consider transferring it to you, but Mr. wants to offer a reasonable price to my sister, of course, I don't want gold and silver vulgar things!"

Li Zhi pretended to be stunned, and immediately began to smile with a smile on his face, "That's not easy to say?" In the future, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess arrives, you can go to all the stores at any time to get what you need, including jade carvings and diamonds! ”

Princess Taiping was also surprised in the same way, and waved her hand again and again to refuse: "Mr. Li's promise is too huge, and my sister doesn't dare to follow!" In this way, as long as Mr. Li's Zhengqing Wenqitang develops a new spice, he will send me a bottle. I know that one drop can be blended into a pound of perfume, and one bottle per variety is enough! ”

"Isn't that a disservice to Your Highness? That house is the private property of the royal family, and just one piece of land is worth a few wineries opposite! No way! ”

"Mr. Li, I don't know what the price of your natural essential oil is on the market, of course you don't have to say it, it's a trade secret, right?"

"Where will it be confidential, sooner or later the price will be made public! According to the different varieties of the extracted colors, the specific pricing is also different, about between ten taels and three hundred taels of silver? ”

On the side, Li Qi almost squirted out a sip of tea, but he was frightened after hearing the price quoted by Li Zhi, one or two lines of silver in that era were almost two months' food for an ordinary family of four.

Moreover, the price of ten taels is still the lowest grade, and the best quality of three hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a relatively remote two-entry courtyard in Chang'an City, and it is not a general luxury to buy a small bottle of essential oil at this appalling price.

Princess Taiping covered her mouth and chuckled, "Fanghua Shangshu doesn't know, hundreds of petals are fresh, and they can be condensed into a drop, and a pot of flowers and plants is very ordinary and also requires hundreds of copper coins, and a drop needs dozens of pots, although a bottle is only ten drops, the cost is already six or seven taels of silver, and it is worth more precious than gold, which is not false at all!" ”

Ignoring the crowd around her, she gasped again, she looked at Li Zhi again: "Isn't this over, it's just that the best essential oil is sent out, a bottle is three hundred taels, this account girl can count it!" Mr. Li, I think it's so decided, you can be responsible for my future essential oil needs, of course, I only take what I need, and others will ignore it! ”

"Since Your Highness has decided, act accordingly! The next day, I will send someone to send ten kinds of essential oils to the house. ”

She turned around, like blue waves with clear eyes, and looked at Li Qi again, the corners of her mouth curled as perfectly as a crescent moon:

"Fanghua Shangshu, I will go to negotiate with someone to negotiate with the Chang Ping and Equalization Agency, and strive to reduce the rank to less than three thousand taels, your military department will not go out of the way, right?"

Li Qi smiled and shook his head, "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is also true, because of the city within the city, naturally it can no longer be sold as a façade house in the West Market." Moreover, Mr. Li already has a very high status in our military department, and it is completely reasonable to be regarded as an internal adjustment! ”

"Oh? Does Mr. Li still have a position in your military department? False position, right? ”

"It's just decided, Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know yet, in addition to the gunpowder formula, Mr. Li gave me the most advanced forging technology of the Tang Dynasty military for free, as well as the next dozens of new weapons building process, which is not available with much money!"

Princess Taiping's face finally had a heartfelt emotion, after all, the country belongs to their royal Li family, and Li Zhi's selfless dedication is equivalent to helping the Li family.
