Chapter 72 A neat family
Palace,

The old concubine's bedroom.

When Pei Yanli came out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know when it started, but any place near the imperial palace would make people feel uncomfortable.

He looked at the silver he had begged from the old concubine, his eyes darkened, "Go find Qian San."

He wanted to see what Lord Zhaoyang could do with the silver.

##
On the most prosperous street in the capital, Ji Nanxing immediately bought the largest restaurant.

Then he had all the decorations inside demolished.

As soon as Pei Yanli arrived at the door, he saw Ji Nanxing's big hammer and eighty-eighty wasteful scene, "Mr. Qian, these tables and chairs are all good, why do you want to throw them away?"

"We make jewelry, not a restaurant. These things don't look out of place in the store and we won't be using them for the time being."

After answering, Ji Nanxing looked at him and asked, "Why are you here, my lord?"

"All of my private vaults are here. Come and see how Mr. Qian is doing."

Pei Yanli looked at the servants passing by him, holding something in their hands, and asked, "You don't want the stool anymore?"

"No more."

“No more potted plants.”

“Not anymore.”

"...Mr. Qian, I feel a little panicked when I hear the sound of walls being smashed and houses being demolished."

Ji Nanxing looked at him, "You are the prince, please be more generous."

The prince looked at the distressed look when the house was demolished, and he was really angry. "Sir, you don't know that if the plan fails, I will become the first prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be heavily in debt."

"I won't let you be poor."

Seeing his worried look, Ji Nanxing handed him the finished product and said, "Take a look."

Colored glass,
Greener than the bracelet the old toffee wore.

These colored glasses are cut and polished into the shape of diamonds and inlaid on silver one by one. They sparkle and give off a luxurious feeling under the sunlight.

Ji Nanxing directly designed some jewelry based on some classic and haute couture styles from Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier.

In addition, the traditional aesthetics of Da Zhou jewelry is also very important. Luxurious styles are also chosen, expensive and precious pearls and jade are removed, complicated filigree craftsmanship and kingfisher feathers are abandoned, and transparent glass, green glass, red glass are inlaid...

under the sun,

Bling Bling,
Even a royal family member like Pei Yanli, who has seen a lot of things in the market, has to admit that this thing is indeed beautiful!
"Your Majesty, you have a very sharp eye. If you were to estimate the value of this item, how much do you think it is worth?"

"The design is unique and ingenious, and the glass is crystal clear and flawless. I think it is worth a thousand taels of silver."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Nanxing and found that she frowned slightly, "Mr. Qian, do you have any other opinions?"

Ji Nanxing didn't intend to hide it from him, and took out some jewelry that was obviously not as beautiful as the one in his hand, and had even less colored glaze inlays, "I plan to set the average price of these at 1,000 taels of silver, and the one I showed you just now is priced at 10,000 taels."

Pei Yanli frowned slightly when he heard this, "How much silver do these jewels cost?"

Ji Nanxing: "A simple one costs 200 copper coins, and a complex one costs between 800 copper coins and 2 taels of silver."

This made people dumbfounded.

He thought it was very expensive to make these things, but it turned out that the most expensive cost was less than two taels of silver. "Isn't it too much for you to sell something that only costs two taels of silver for tens of thousands of taels of silver?"

"No, we make luxury goods, not treasures."

Ji Nanxing didn't plan to explain to him the difference between luxury goods and treasures, but just had someone send him a few carefully designed sandalwood boxes. The dark blue velvet cloth was used as the base, and the necklace, earrings, pearl hairpin, waistband, headband, and crown were placed in the specially customized gift boxes in order.

"Now, Your Majesty needs to make use of your status and send these finished products to relatives such as the Concubine Dowager, the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor, the First Prince, and the Second Prince. In addition, you can also send some to high-ranking officials. I will take care of it."

"What's this for?"

It took a lot of effort to make this thing, "Aren't you going to sell it?"

“If you want to sell at a high enough price, you have to market it first.

Since ancient times, the spread of fashion has always been influenced by the upper class. Whatever the people at the top like, the people below will follow.

Think about it, if all the royal family members like colored glaze, will the officials below dislike colored glaze? If the officials below like colored glaze, will their subordinates resist colored glaze?

Selling luxury goods,
What is sold is status, popularity, and stories.

Listen to me, let's work harder, this thing can make us a lot of money!"

It is indeed reasonable that what the superiors do should be followed by the subordinates.

His father liked landscape paintings and calligraphy, but disliked animal paintings. Nowadays, animal paintings are extremely rare in the studios of merchants.

But, "I don't want to send it."

Ji Nanxing understood why he didn't want to send it.

“But if you don’t want to give it, does that silver just fall from the sky?
Think about the one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver you have already paid. Are you going to just watch it go down the drain?
If the prince is unwilling to go, it will be your responsibility if our jewelry business fails in the future. Think about the future when I will be heavily in debt and be ridiculed by others, and Wang Shi, Wang Lei and I, Qian San, will all look for better opportunities for money..."

"Alright, I'm going now, okay?"

Pei Yanli looked at her deeply and said, "But you have to go with me."

It was actually okay to follow him. The only thing she was worried about was whether she would be recognized by someone she knew. At this moment, just outside the old concubine's bedroom, Ji Nanxing subconsciously touched her dentures, and Pei Yanli in front of her paused.

"You look coarse and ugly, so I'm afraid you'll scare the Toffee, so I'll wait outside."

She looks so unique, so I waited outside. I guess it will be the same next time, so Ji Nanxing felt relieved.

It was easy to deal with the old empress dowager, Pei Yanli came out soon.

Then there was an audience with the emperor.

This time, Ji Nanxing stopped at the entrance of the hall on his own initiative, but was dragged to the door by Pei Yanli by the collar.

"Your Majesty, I have a rough appearance and I am afraid I might scare Your Majesty."

"Father is young and strong, and he has seen all kinds of ghosts and monsters. Come in."

She was dragged into the imperial study, then she let go of his hand and knelt down towards the inner room, "Your Highness, I bow to you, Father."

There was no response from the inner room.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of grinding could be heard. The aroma of expensive spices wafted slowly towards us, and every breath felt like a huge rock was pressing down on us.

They knelt for a long time.

Ji Nanxing felt pain in her knees, and she glanced at Pei Yanli beside her. He stood straight with a blank expression, making it hard to tell whether he was sad or angry.

There are people inside.

But deliberately ignored,
Emperor Wenxuan treated his own son like this because of a prophecy. He was indeed quite cold-blooded when it came to family affection.

After a long time,

The person from the inner room of the study came out slowly.

In addition to Emperor Wenxuan, there are also the eldest prince Pei Jingcheng and the second prince Pei Yulin, the whole family is here...
