Compared with the white jade, sapphire, and even mutton jade that they are used to, young girls are even more rare in this bright and eye-catching color. Especially for those who are about to get married, if they wear such a set of red emerald heads on their wedding day, it will definitely be a good story!
Concubine Jing and Yu Xiaocao, two of them, tried their best to promote and advertise. Jadeite quickly became popular in the middle and upper classes of Beijing, and Zhiyuzhai's jadeite products were out of stock several times. Shopkeeper Zhang stared at the engravers who were working overtime to make jewelry, and at the same time followed the movement of the transport team. He was extremely busy, but he was full of energy!
Due to the hot sales of jadeite, shopkeeper Zhang decided to open all the rough stones as raw materials for jadeite jewelry. As for the stone gambling business mentioned by the future hostess, he also smelled a hot business opportunity from it. When it comes to the word "gambling", there is no shortage of rich dudes in Beijing. It can be seen from the horse betting projects in the entertainment clubs in the suburbs of Beijing.
However, "gambling with stones" is definitely an unfamiliar form for the people of the capital. Beautiful jade and emeralds can be produced from the stones, and the wish of getting rich overnight is a great temptation for some people who are very gamblers!
Shopkeeper Zhang is indeed a capable person, although the first batch of rough stones is not intended to be used for gambling. However, he still specially invited a group of men and women who are fascinated by jadeite to come and explain stones in public. From the unattractive stones, pieces of brilliantly colored and dazzling emeralds are produced. For those who see it for the first time, what a magical and surprising thing it is!
Shopkeeper Zhang also selected a few lucky spectators from the people present, and asked them to choose a stone they like and untie it in public. Of course, these rough stones are all carefully selected by the Jade Master and the future mistress. Although there are a small number of broken rough stones, most of them can be used to produce jadeite. However, the texture of emerald has good and bad.
When the rough stone I picked was unwrapped in front of everyone, revealing the crystal clear jadeite inside, those men and women who were bullish about the rough stone they picked couldn't help showing proud expressions. For those broken rough stones, the pickers refused to admit defeat and demanded to choose another one... The active participation of everyone pushed the emerald event to a climax.
Of course, the right to own the jade that was opened still belongs to Zhiyuzhai. Some people don't want to part with the jadeite they unearthed by themselves, so they buy it at a high price and entrust the master of Zhiyuzhai to help process it. Some even took the unprocessed jade back home as a souvenir. Anyone who is eligible to participate in the jadeite event is naturally a regular customer of Zhiyuzhai, who cares about the money spent on jadeite
Jade jewelry, under Zhang's operation, quietly became popular among the upper class in central Beijing. The noble ladies in Beijing often get the limelight because they wear dazzling emerald ornaments at such-and-such parties. Other wives and ladies, even if they are a little short of money, will grit their teeth and buy a set of emerald heads or bracelets, otherwise they will be ashamed to go out to the banquet.
Not only the noble ladies and young ladies competed, but even the old ministers in the court would be given envious looks if they had a jadeite pendant hanging around their waists. Not to mention, the accessories on Prince Jing's waist are replaced every few days, and no matter the color or watermark of each item, anyone with a discerning eye can detect its high value at a glance.
Some of these pendants were chosen by the princess in the store for him, some were given by his son, and more were filially presented by his future daughter-in-law. Who told his future daughter-in-law to be good at picking rough stones, every piece can produce high-quality jadeite. I never forget to give a set of emerald ornaments to him and the princess.
Facing the veiled eyes of his colleagues, Prince Jing felt as if he had eaten a cold drink during the dog days. He was extremely comfortable! There is a kind: We are rich and powerful, and the local tyrants who wear emerald jewelry and throw away the other have a sense of sight! How about it? Envious? Who told you not to have a good son and choose a good daughter-in-law
After the popularity of jade jewelry, Zhi Yu Zhai naturally made a lot of money every day, and the business was no worse than Yu Ji's medicinal food workshop and beauty and health club. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a chicken that lays golden eggs.
However, it is such a "Zhi Yuzhai" who can lay golden eggs, and at this time it is actually on the dowry list. Shopkeeper Zhang, who got the news from the anecdote, smacked his lips. It seems that he will change his master soon. Although, the Yu family will definitely not take advantage of His Royal Highness Xu Wang, and will send Zhi Yuzhai back as a dowry. This time, Zhi Yuzhai changed his surname!
However, in the eyes of shopkeeper Zhang, the future mistress is a well-known business expert in Beijing, and she is much more reliable than His Royal Highness Xu Wang who is always the shopkeeper! Apart from other things, let's just buy and sell jadeite. If the mistress of the future didn't mention it, how could Zhiyuzhai's hot sales come from today? He has a feeling: firmly follow the steps of the mistress, and will never let him down and regret it!
In addition to Zhiyuzhai, all the vegetable and fruit shops under Zhu Junyang's name were also offered as dowries. In central Beijing, there are more than a dozen such fruit and vegetable shops, large and small, all of which are supplied by Zhuangzi and orchards in the suburbs of Beijing. With the super cheating tool of Xiaobutianshi, even the seasonal vegetables and fruits produced by Zhuangzi, the taste is not comparable to that of ordinary fruits and vegetables.
I am used to eating the vegetables and fruits produced in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and the family of the rich and powerful in the capital has been spoiled, how can I eat ordinary fruits and vegetables? The business of these vegetable and fruit shops can be imagined. Even if the price is twice as expensive, there is still no need to worry about sales. Not to mention those off-season vegetables grown in greenhouses, and off-season fruits that are "stored" properly!
These vegetable and fruit shops, among all the shops under Zhu Junyang's name, are also profitable. Now, they are all on the dowry list. In Zhu Junyang's view, the reason why the profits of these shops are so high is inseparable from the little girl. As a man, he can't bring money bonus to his daughter-in-law, and wants to take advantage of her daughter-in-law, which is too unreasonable.
Simply, give it all to the daughter-in-law. The little girl used to say: After getting married, what's his is hers, and what's hers is still hers! If she can take care of both, so what if all the business in his hands is handed over to her after marriage
However, with a capable wife, Zhu Junyang is still quite stressed. If he doesn't work harder, he will be reduced to relying on his wife to support him. The little girl must be happy to raise him, but that would deprive him of the fun of making money for his wife. What's the point of life
Old General Zhao, father and son, and Fang Fangzhen studied Zhu Junyang's dowry list with their heads together. All kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings are dazzling; all kinds of precious silk and satin embroidery that only appear in the inner warehouse of the imperial city make them dizzy; real estate, Zhuangzi, and shops make people dizzy. Not to mention some rare treasures, if you take out any of them, you will be amazed.
Xu Wang's family background is too strong! The three of them looked at each other, seeing the same exclamation in each other's eyes. Xu Wang is really willing to give up to the little grass girl! The three of them looked at Xu Wang with a little more recognition and appreciation. Yeah! The more precious the dowry, the more it can show the importance the man attaches to the woman! King Xu won't take all his family property as a dowry and give it to the little girl, right
There is no reason for them to think so. Zhu Junyang did give away nearly half of the property under his name as a bride price. How is this? He is happy? No one can control it!
"Uh...His Royal Highness Xu Wang, do you want to take this betrothal gift list back and discuss it with Prince Jing and Concubine Jing?" Old General Zhao also felt that the betrothal gift was too expensive, and he was afraid that Zhu Junyang's private opinion would cause future parents-in-law to scold the little grass girl. Dissatisfied, after deliberating for a moment, he asked.
Yu Xiaocao, who went outside to make some pastries for afternoon tea, came back in and saw her godfather and Grandpa Zhao gossiping for a long time, saying that the betrothal gift is not a betrothal gift, so she took the list handed over by them , sat down beside Zhu Junyang, and said with a smile:
"What dowry gift, let me see... Is this guy too stingy, you can't stand the list? It doesn't matter, if the dowry gift doesn't satisfy us all, we can change the date of marriage later!"
Zhao Auntie glared at her, and said angrily: "How can you change the auspicious day you have set? You girl, you are good at everything, but you are too simple, and you speak without thinking. Fortunately, King Xu knows your temper and will not blame you. For you..."
Zhu Junyang knew that Mrs. Zhao's words were meant for himself, and immediately expressed his position firmly: "Little girl, what kind of character does she have to say, which is most suitable for the master's appetite. Those girls who are secretive and not straightforward at all, You are not so rare! Old General Zhao, don’t worry! My mother and concubine have always been on the side of the little girl. She wished that I would transfer all the property under my name to the little girl! Sometimes, I I picked them all up, and the little grass girl is her own delusion!"
"Hehehe! This shows that this girl is loved by everyone, and flowers bloom when they see flowers! How old are you, and you are still arguing with me for the favor of the princess, aren't you ashamed?" Yu Xiaocao gave him a playful look, Only then did he lower his head to study the draft dowry list.
"The concubine mother likes you. It's too late for the master to be happy. How could he compete with you? After you marry, not only the concubine mother will spoil you, but the concubine will spoil you as the happiest woman in the world. You will never regret yourself The decision was made!" Zhu Junyang had a cheeky face, speaking sweet words of love in front of all the elders. Su Ran, who was drinking the herbal tea, bared her teeth for a while.
Zhao Auntie's old face was slightly hot, and she looked at the little girl who was giggling aside, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that the little girl is a fool. Her son did well to lose, and with Zhao Han's stupid personality, he would never be able to say such nasty words. King Yang... King Xu looked cold-tempered, but he didn't expect that he would let go emotionally.
