While Wang Rong was in the small building talking to the uncle in charge about air-conditioning fans and other things, Li Chongrun and Ruyu were reviewing their recent income in the main hall.
"Little Prince, yesterday we sold a total of 75 pieces of the two paperback editions worth 500 yuan each, and ten pieces of the limited edition version worth 2 yuan. A total of 150 pieces were collected." Ruyu took it.
A small account book was placed on the coffee table with counters. "The extra dozen or so hanging baskets were rewarded by several stewards of the prince's family. I thought I could line up in the front and pick up the goods quickly."
"I've told you to go to the small building to pick up the goods. Later, we moved the sales business there. It's a bit embarrassing to pile them up at the entrance of our garden."
The Arhat couch and Hu stools placed in the main hall had been removed at some point and replaced by several sofas made of bamboo, with several sacks covered in fine linen on them, stuffed with wool and duck down, to serve as pillows and cushions.
Use. Li Chongrun was slumping on the sofa under the main hall while Ge You was comfortably holding a bamboo teacup in his hand, drinking sip after sip.
"It cost a lot of money to decorate the small building and our garden." Fang'er was setting up a tea ceremony on the coffee table, but she was talking like a housekeeper: "I also went to the West Market to buy some ribs for the small building.
Forget it. If Prince Anxinu liked her, he would spend some money on her, but he gave it to Xue Chongxun and let him hide his beauty in the golden room. I heard that Xue Chongxun was uneducated and a bit of a playboy.
Feng, this money is not worth spending."
"Although my dandy cousin is uneducated and incompetent, Wang Rong is too young after all. There is no problem in letting him take charge of the business. If you want to do business with those dandy nobles who only know about pleasure, it is better to ask my good-for-nothing cousin to take action.
A common language." Li Chongrun took the newly brewed tea poured by Fang'er and took a sip, "There is not enough milk, please have some more."
"The tea ceremony is ruined in your hands." Shangguan Wan'er, who was lying on the chaise longue on the sofa and reading a book, softly expressed her disdain, "Tea can be tasted, and different combinations of ingredients can have different flavors.
You just put sugar and milk in it, and it completely ruined the artistic conception."
"Didn't my aunt also drink more?" Li Chongrun was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that in his previous life, his aunt would have been working as a white-collar worker in an office building at this age. She was the age when she liked drinking milk tea the most, and she would definitely not be able to resist it.
The temptation of this kind of thing.
"However, this sofa is indeed comfortable. Your Majesty has a bad back. If you sleep for a long time, your back will hurt easily. I will send the pattern to Shang She Bureau and ask them to make a set for the emperor. It should be good." Wan'er ignored Li Chongrun's teasing.
, but made arrangements with Ruyu: "But our young prince's business is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid that the few palace people in our garden will not be enough. I will still have to buy a farm in the future."
Wan'er was discussing with Li Chongrun, but she glanced at Ruyu with a smile but not a smile. Seeing that her expression was as usual, she settled down to read again.
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, unlike the scorching heat of summer, there is already a somewhat clean and soothing smell in the morning and evening. The air-conditioning fan business in the small building has no demand, and I can't get involved in the business on the second floor.
, simply went back to Qingyi Garden, hanging out with Li Chongrun all day long, and teaching the palace people some arithmetic in the evening, as well as some physics and chemistry courses that Li Chongrun had compiled here and there.
Although she failed to buy Zhuangzi, Ruyu still bought a piece of land at the foot of the mountain a few miles away from the garden and set up several workshops. The fans and furniture did not need to be made by the palace people themselves, as long as the patterns were released and a few workshops were made.
A palace man who is most familiar with the craftsmanship goes to check the quality of the parts made in the workshop every day, leaving only the most essential parts and taking them back to the garden for finishing.
The so-called paperback editions have all been discontinued. Wang Rong did some research and found that there have been various changes in the fans on the market. There are even some that open one section to be a normal fan, and then open a section to reveal an erotic scene.
Picture of high-end goods.
Li Chongrun didn't like to get involved in such intrusive market competition, so he simply gave up on the low-end market and only made ten pieces every ten days. Many of them were sent to the palace. The fans of Qingyi Garden that were circulated in the world became more and more popular.
not enough.
Although Wang Rong also sold a few air-conditioning fans, although it is easy to make, the follow-up is quite labor-intensive. Except for a few princes who bought a few sets and put them in their summer villas in the mountains, they bought
The most popular brothels in Qinghuafang were sold to them by my cousin Xue Chongxun. Although my cousin was a dandy, he was very good at having fun. I don’t know how many items such as sofas, coffee tables, and desks were sold.
.It’s just that now everyone on the market can make these things with no technical content, and the sales volume has gradually declined.
Only the writing desk is highly sought after by many officials because of its Qingyi stamp, and it has become Li Chongrun's main source of income more than the fan. Ruyu's small ledger that keeps accounts every day is no longer enough, and has long been replaced by one.
In this large green leather notebook, I took the abacus newly made by Li Chongrun and wrote down my calculations on the desk in my small room with a strong Li Chongrun style.
Just how much money Ruyu and Wan'er had kept tight-lipped. After asking several times, Wan'er said that it was the money he had kept for himself to marry his wife. He had to save it and not use it randomly. It's just that she looked like she was smiling.
He looked so proud, it must be a lot of money.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, they saw that the autumn exam was approaching, but there was no news from the palace or the princess. Li Chongrun and Wan'er were a little anxious, but since His Majesty had issued an order for them to continue to stay in the garden, they
Everyone has experienced loneliness, but they are still at peace with themselves.
On the day when the autumn exams were over, an edict came from the capital city, saying that His Majesty had decreed that Li Chongrun's Linzi Palace had been completed, and the couple were asked to choose an auspicious day to move in.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, everyone is really a little tired after living here for so long. They thought that it would be better to choose a day than to hit the sun, or go back that day. The person sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess also disappeared after the imperial envoy who conveyed the order left.
How long did it take to arrive? It’s just that although the city of God has been troubled recently, it is still a little uneasy. Knowing that these few people can’t stay here, they will definitely go back immediately, so they dispatched two teams of black cavalry to escort these two influential figures who were hiding in seclusion along the way.
.
The palace people in the garden are a little disappointed. Although life has been much better recently than before, the two masters of their house are really good. After saying goodbye, I don't know how long it will be before we see each other again.
However, Li Chongrun unexpectedly took all the palace attendants away together. He only arranged shifts. Everyone changed shifts once a month, and the palace attendants on that shift came here for repairs and maintenance.
When Li Chongrun and Shangguan Wan'er walked to the city gate, the leading black knight complained that the black knight could not enter the capital without an imperial edict, so they stopped there and watched a convoy from Qingyi Garden enter the capital.
The newly built Linzi Prince's Mansion is not small. Although it is not as luxurious as Her Royal Highness's house, it already occupies two streets. The back door is still Shangguan Wan'er's small courtyard. This Linzi Prince's Mansion actually retains that small courtyard intact.
Come down from the hospital.
The palace has not yet hired any servants, so it is a bit empty. A few temporary guards opened the door enthusiastically and welcomed the master of the palace home. The palace servants brought back from Qingyi Garden were very happy to go.
After packing up, Li Chongrun and Fang'er were moving a sofa to the main hall, when they saw Her Royal Highness the Princess sitting in the main hall wearing a Hu costume.
