Zhao Ruxi nodded: "I want to apologize to you about Jie Baozhai. I really don't have the time and energy to do this. But if Jie Baozhai is in need, ask shopkeeper Wang to tell me, and I will definitely help if I can."

Xiao Ruotong smiled: "Okay."

Zhao Ruxi looked at her and suggested seriously: "Sister Ruotong, why don't you draw the jewelry pictures yourself?"

"Ah?" Xiao Ruotong was startled.

"You know calligraphy and painting, so you must have your own aesthetics and understanding of jewelry design. Why don't you try to draw it yourself to see what the jewelry you designed looks like and whether others like it?

?The jewelry designed by people like us must be better than those craftsmen, right?"

Seeing Xiao Ruotong's tempted look, she added: "Look at that Meng Juren. He just read some books and has some knowledge. Once he engages in jewelry design, he is better than ordinary craftsmen. People like you and me just don't do it.

In terms of doing it, is it even worse than them?"

Although Xiao Ruotong has a gentle temper, she is actually the most arrogant at heart. When Zhao Ruxi said this, she was immediately aroused to fight.

She raised her chin slightly: "That's right. I don't believe I'm not as good as them. I'll give it a try when I get back."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Zhao Ruxi smiled.

After hearing this, Grandma Yun and Xiao Ru, who had already packed their things, looked at Zhao Ruxi with gratitude.

Although the young lady has let go of the British prince, the change from two people to one person is lonely and it will take some time to adapt. Now Miss Zhao can stimulate the young lady's fighting spirit and let her devote her energy to painting and painting jewelry.

As shown in the picture, coupled with practicing calligraphy and teaching in the academy, the lady's life will definitely be busy and fulfilling, and she will have no time to think about everything.

Zhao Ruxi paused and said to Xiao Ruotong: "But I asked you to come here because 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 startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's great. I felt sorry for you with Aunt Yun earlier. You can draw such good jewelry pictures and you are capable, it would be great if you could open a silver shop. If you could

If you don’t know where to buy gems and jade materials, just ask shopkeeper Wang, he is responsible for all these things, he will definitely know, and the price will definitely not be expensive.”

When a family runs a business, they usually don't take the initiative to sign up with customers. But they must show their name when picking up the goods. This is a guarantee of credibility. The Zhennan Palace is powerful and has a lot of properties. They went to pick up the goods, and the merchant met them.

, the price given should be lower, and one does not dare to do anything pretentious.

"No, no, I'll just find the source of the goods myself. I don't dare bother shopkeeper Wang." Zhao Ruxi waved her hand.

They are enemies in the same industry. Although her bank is in Beijing and Jiebaozhai is in Beining, they still have overlapping clients.

The pieces of jewelry designed by Zhao Ruxi were all made in a high-end way by Jiebaozhai.

There are countless high-end customers, and there are only so many ladies in Beijing who are willing to buy expensive jewelry. In the past, they would patronize Jiebaozhai because the jewelry was novel and affordable. But if they discover the jewelry styles of the newly opened silver buildings in Beijing,

They are also as novel as ever, and they even constantly introduce new ones; but Jie Baozhai can no longer produce such novel and beautiful jewelry. Then these noble ladies will naturally change their positions and regard Zhao Ruxi's silver building as their main consumption place.

This is even if Zhao Ruxi robbed Jie Baozhai's business.

It would be too much if she took the road to Zhennan Prince's Mansion to get raw materials again.

Regardless of whether Xiao Ruotong can design good jewelry or whether Jie Baozhai will lose business to her, Zhao Ruxi doesn't want to do this.

As for getting Xiao Ruotong to invest in the bank, she had not thought about it. After all, Xiao Ruotong was very good to her. But she did not want to have anything to do with the Zhennan Palace in business. When the jade speculation started, she could provide some jade raw materials to Jie Baozhai.

Let Jie Baozhai get a share of the pie and forget about buying shares.

Xiao Ruotong was originally forced by Princess Zhennan and Aunt Yun to learn to be worldly, but she was originally simple-minded and was either thinking about calligraphy or painting. Now she still doesn't think too much about things she encounters.

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

Aunt Yun couldn't help but be speechless towards her young lady.

She smiled and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Miss Zhao, don't worry too much. To put it bluntly, my lady's dowry is quite large, which is enough for her to live and drink for a lifetime. Opening this bank is just to relax, it doesn't matter whether you make money or not. So,

As you can see, the price of Jiebaozhai is much more affordable than other silver shops, so there is no need to worry about buying and selling. If you want to open a silver shop, you can open it without worrying about us. You can also get the supply of goods with us. As long as you join us.

, maybe the gem dealer can give you a lower price."

Zhao Ruxi saw that Aunt Yun was sincere, so she did not refuse and said to Xiao Ruotong, "Thank you very much."

Xiao Ruotong waved his hand: "What's the point? You also opened a bank. Didn't we do the same thing and have more to say?"

She stood up: "You have to go back to the capital. It's getting late, so go back quickly. The other city gates are closed and you can't get in."

Zhao Ruxi has now bought a house. If she really can't go back, she can live here. But she didn't say hello to her family. Zhu and others would be worried that she couldn't do this. She stood up and followed Xiao Ruotong out the door, waving goodbye.

, returned to the capital.

On the afternoon of the second day, shopkeeper Wang came to the art academy, gave Zhao Ruxi an address, a handwritten letter and a token, and told her the prices of various jades and precious stones in detail before leaving.

Now the store, workshop, shopkeepers, and clerks in the staff are almost ready, and the supply of goods is also partly available. News about the jadeite should be available soon. The only thing missing is the craftsmen.

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

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

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

"No trouble, no trouble. I am extremely honored to be able to work for the layman Zhiwei." Zheng Zhongren's attitude was extremely respectful.

The last time Zhao Ruxi invited five of them to go, he bought many servants from Tong Zhongren in the east of the city, bought houses and shops from Wang Zhongren in the south of the city and Yu Zhongren in the west of the city, and also bought some servants. Li Zhongren from Beining also sold

He bought a house and some servants. Only he, a middle-class man from the north of the city, except for a few servants, could not make a big deal with this wealthy, generous, and very righteous layman Zhiwei.

It made him feel very depressed.

But the house and shop he owned were in a bad location, and people looked down upon them; the servants he owned were also illiterate and clever, and they didn't perform well when selecting people. There was nothing he could do.
