Zhao Ruxi nodded: "I want to apologize to you for the matter of Bao Zhai, I really don't have the time and energy to do this." However, if Bao Zhai is in need, you let the shopkeeper Wang tell me, I will help if I can. ”

Xiao Ruotong smiled: "Okay." ”

Zhao Ruxi looked at her and seriously suggested, "Sister Ruotong, why don't you draw your own jewelry drawings?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ruotong was stunned.

"You can calligraphy, you can draw, and you must have your own aesthetics and understanding of jewelry design. Why don't you try to draw your own jewelry and see what your jewelry looks like? The jewelry designed by people like us must be better than those craftsmen, right? ”

She looked at Xiao Ruotong's tempting appearance, and said: "You just look at that Meng Juren, but he has read some books and has some culture, and once he is engaged in jewelry design, he is better than ordinary craftsmen." People like you and me, don't do it, but when it comes to doing it, aren't they even as good as them? ”

Xiao Ruotong doesn't look at her gentle temper, in fact, she is the most arrogant in her bones. When Zhao Ruxi said this, she was immediately aroused.

She lifted her chin slightly, "That's." I don't believe that I'm inferior to them. I'll try when I go back. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Zhao Ruxi said with a smile.

Mama Yun and Xiaoru, who had already packed their things, heard this, and looked at Zhao Ruxi with eyes full of gratitude.

Although the young lady said that she had let go of the British princess, she had changed from two people to one person, and she was lonely and lonely, and it took a while to get used to. Now that Miss Zhao can arouse the fighting spirit of the young lady, let her devote her energy to painting and drawing jewelry, plus practicing calligraphy and teaching at the academy, the young lady's life will definitely be busy and fulfilling, and she will not have time to think about it.

Zhao Ruxi paused and said to Xiao Ruotong: "But I called you over, there is one more thing." The emperor rewarded me with a shop, and I also want to use it to open a silver building. ”

Xiao Ruotong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Great." I was sorry for you with Mama Yun before. You can draw such a good jewelry picture, and you can do it yourself, if you can open a silver building. If you don't know where to buy gems and jade, just ask the shopkeeper Wang, these are all his Zhang Luo, he must know, and the price will not be expensive. ”

The family runs the industry, and generally does not take the initiative to register with the guests. But when you get the goods, you must show your name, which is a guarantee of credibility. The Zhennan Wangfu is powerful and has a lot of industries. They went to get the goods, and when the merchants saw it, they gave a lower price, and they didn't dare to do anything pretentious.

"No, no, I'll just find the source of goods by myself, and I don't dare to trouble the shopkeeper." Zhao Ruxi waved his hand.

Although the silver building she opened is in the capital, and the Bao Zhai is in Bac Ninh, the customers still overlap.

The pieces of jewelry designed by Zhao Ruxi, after Bao Zhai was made, they all took the high-end route.

And there are a number of high-end customers, and there are so many ladies in the capital who are willing to buy precious jewelry. In the past, they would patronize Bao Zhai because of the novelty and affordable price of the jewelry. But if they find that the jewelry style of the newly opened silver building in the capital is also as novel, and even keeps innovating; Bao Zhai can no longer take out such novel and beautiful jewelry. Then these noblewomen will naturally shift their positions and use Zhao Ruxi's silver building as their main place of consumption.

This can be regarded as Zhao Ruxi robbing Bao Zhai's business.

It would be too much for her to take the road of Zhennan Wangfu to get the raw materials again.

Regardless of whether Xiao Ruotong can design good jewelry or not, whether Bao Zhai will be robbed of business by her, Zhao Ruxi doesn't want to do it.

As for Ra Xiao Ruotong's stake in Yinlou, she didn't think about it. After all, Xiao Ruotong is very good to her. But she didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhennan Mansion in business. When the jade is fried, she can provide some jade raw materials to Bao Zhai, so that Bao Zhai can get a piece of the pie, and the matter of investing in the shares is still forgotten.

Xiao Ruotong was originally forced by Princess Zhennan and Mama Yun to learn the world, but she was already simple-minded, and her mind was either calligraphy or painting, and now she still doesn't think too much about things when she encounters them.

Hearing Zhao Ruxi's words, she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Mama Yun couldn't help but be speechless at her own young lady.

She smiled and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Miss Zhao, don't scruple too much. To put it mildly, my young lady's dowry is quite a lot, enough for her to eat and drink for the rest of her life. Opening this silver building is just a distraction, and it doesn't matter if you make money or not. So you can also see that the price of Bao Bao Zhai is much more affordable than other silver buildings, so the transaction is not worried. If you want to open a silver building, you don't have to worry about us. The source of goods can be taken with us. With you on board, the gem dealer might be able to offer a lower price. ”

Zhao Ruxi saw the sincerity of what Mama Yun said, so she didn't shirk it, and said to Xiao Ruotong: "Then thank you." ”

Xiao Ruotong waved his hand: "What is this?" You also opened a silver building, didn't we both do the same thing, have more to say? ”

She stood up: "You still have to go back to the capital, it's not early, go back quickly." The gates of the other city are closed, and you can't get in. ”

Zhao Ruxi has bought a house now, and if he really can't go back, he can live here. It's just that she didn't say hello to her family, and Zhu and the others would be worried that she couldn't do this. She stood up, followed Xiao Ruotong out of the door, waved goodbye, and returned to the capital.

On the afternoon of the second day, Shopkeeper Wang came to the art academy, gave Zhao Ruxi an address, gave her a handwritten letter and a token, and told her the prices of various jade and gemstones in detail, and then left.

Now the shop, the workshop, the shopkeeper and the guy in the staff are almost ready, and the supply is also partial, and the jade should soon have news, and the only thing missing is the craftsman.

Fortunately, Xiao Lingyan sent the addresses of some craftsmen the next day, and the five Chinese people also introduced some craftsmen to her one after another.

Zhao Ruxi asked the Chinese to inquire first, and in the next few days, he was busy visiting these craftsmen one by one.

"Zheng Zhongren, I've been bothering you for the past two days." Zhao Ruxi smiled at Zheng Zhongren, who was meeting in the city as promised.

"It's a great honor to be able to do things for the people who know how to do things." Zheng Zhongren's attitude is extremely respectful.

Last time, Zhao Ruxi invited the five of them to go, but he bought a lot of subordinates from Tong Zhongren in the east of the city, and bought houses and shops from Wang Zhongren in the south of the city and Yuzhong people in the west of the city, and also bought some subordinates. Li Zhongren of Bac Ninh also sold a house and some subordinates. Only he, a middle-aged man in the north of the city, except for a few subordinates, failed to make a big deal with this rich, generous, and righteous Zhiwei layman, which made him very depressed.

But the location of the house and shop in his hand is not good, and people don't look down on it; The subordinates in their hands are also illiterate and clever, and they don't perform well when picking people. He couldn't help it.

Unexpectedly, Zhiwei Jushi actually took care of his business in this regard, which made him very happy.
