Chapter 12 Clearing Inventory

The title of Wen Shuanren, which was bought with the price of 800,000 taels, was of great significance.

In just one day, Pu Qiongzhi had received a thick stack of various invitations.

From the princess and the duke's wife to the daughter of a minister and the family banquets of officials from humble backgrounds, all of them come for a good reputation.

Most of these people were those who donated money to the disaster relief, so they dared to associate with Pu Qiongzhi.

"With so many invitations, the queue will take two months to process..." Yan'er stared in amazement.

Pu Qiongzhi looked at these exquisitely crafted invitations, estimated the profit of making them, and then curled her lips and stuffed them all at Yan'er, "Arrange them according to the time. I will visit each of them one by one in the next while."

"Ah? So many? Can't we just pick two?" Yan'er was dumbfounded. "What if some of the dates are the same?"

Pu Qiongzhi looked at her and shook her head, "You still don't understand the rules of these wealthy families in the capital."

These people are well aware of the twists and turns in the Beijing circle, and they probably remember them better than their own family tree!

Whenever a date is set for a banquet, people will naturally send someone to inquire about it early to avoid attracting attention.

Yan'er submitted one by one from top to bottom and found that they were arranged in an orderly manner, with no one's day clashing with the others!

"Hey! Madam, you are amazing!" Her eyes lit up, and then her face fell.

"These banquets are so frequent, when will you have time to visit our restaurant?"

Pu Qiongzhi ate a fruit and shook her head. "Girl, you really are... are you dying of anxiety?"

"I am in a hurry to make money! Otherwise, my lady will be short of money!" Yan'er was a little embarrassed, but she was always unforgiving in her words.

Pu Qiongzhi wiped the juice off her hands with a handkerchief and asked, "Did you send the letter I asked you to take to Jiangnan?"

"It was sent out overnight yesterday. Please hurry up and there will be no delay." When it comes to the mission, Yan'er is not vague at all.

Pu Qiongzhi nodded. "If it's sent from the capital, three days will be enough for it to reach Steward Rui."

"Why is it a letter to Manager Rui? I thought... you missed the master." Chunjing on the side took over the conversation, seemed to realize that she almost said something wrong, and quickly stopped talking.

Yan'er burst out laughing, "You don't think that Madam has spent all her dowry and needs help from Master, do you?"

Chunjing blushed when she teased him like that.

Pu Qiongzhi couldn't help laughing and shaking her head, then picked up another fruit and put it into her mouth.

Yan'er is a girl who is articulate and quick-witted, but she is also extremely thoughtful and knows just the right thing to say and what not to say.

In particular, her ability to build relationships and gather information is exceptional! If she hadn't come to serve her, she would definitely be a major executive!

Compared with her, Chunjing is a bit straightforward. Although he is taciturn, he has an impetuous temper.

However, Chunjing is a girl with good martial arts skills. She occasionally has some unexpected methods when doing her job, which is also very surprising.

"You! Don't bully Chunjing!" Pu Qiongzhi reached out to pat her, joking with a smile.

Yan'er then said, "Madam wrote to Steward Rui, asking him to send all the jewelry that had been sitting in the warehouse for three years and hadn't been sold yet to Beijing."

"I remember that the jewelry was quite plain," Chun Jing said, puzzled. "These silk and velvet flowers at least look lively and beautiful, but most of the jewelry is made of ceramics and wood. They won't fetch a good price, right?"

"Yes, that's what I said. Besides, the old styles and patterns are no longer fashionable... But the lady even asked Steward Rui to deliver the goods by sea, as she wanted the fastest way."

Hearing Yan'er complaining like this, Pu Qiongzhi handed over the plate of fruit and said, "Hurry up and eat two fruits to shut up your mouth!"

"Right now, the eldest princess is taking the lead in advocating frugality. I think she will surely attract a group of noble ladies to follow her example."

"But they all love beauty, so naturally they don't want to be ragged and dirty..."

"Madam, are you saying that they will purchase Liuyun Brocade next?" Chun Jing quickly grasped the key point.

Pu Qiongzhi nodded and said, "If I can't do it on the surface, I will secretly work hard on my clothes."

"On the day of the flower viewing banquet, this Liuyunjin left a loophole for them!"

"No wonder Madam, even though she wasn't hurt by the refugees that day, insisted on stopping and changing into her flowing brocade clothes..." Yan'er clapped his hands, suddenly realizing, "You must have already planned this out!"

"Of course. I, a man of high moral character praised by His Majesty, wore Liuyun brocade in public at the flower-viewing banquet. This is a clear rule. Even if I wear it in front of the eldest princess, no one will find fault with it!" Pu Qiongzhi shook the round fan in her hand, squinting her eyes as she pondered the profit of this batch of goods.

Chun Jing was puzzled again. "But what does this have to do with the jewelry?"

"The embroidery on this Liuyun brocade isn't anything special; it's mainly the fabric itself that's different. You have to look closely to see it."

"If you wear bright jewelry, you won't be able to tell what's going on!"

"If you want to highlight the beauty of your clothes, you have to choose some low-key jewelry. What's the problem?" Pu Qiongzhi asked back, smiling, "As long as they follow the trend and buy my clothes, they will naturally buy my jewelry one after another."

Upon hearing her calculations, Yan'er's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, can Zong Xiangyi produce some corresponding rouge and powder next?"

"If you have an idea, just ask Manager Qiao to do it!" Pu Qiongzhi nodded.

"As for the price, it can be raised a little bit. After all, this is Wen Shuan's shop!" Chun Jing added.

Yan Er smiled brightly at her, "You are really smart!"

"So, for the upcoming banquet, you two have to think more about how to dress up your hair. Once your wife visits each of these wealthy families' houses, we won't have to worry about running out of money later."

"Yes! I will make sure these shops are very profitable! Only then will we have enough money to open our restaurant!"

Yan'er ignited a raging fire, and Chunjing on the side was also ready to do something heroic and vigorous.

Unlike the other two who were full of energy, Pu Qiongzhi remained calm and composed.

Pu's Trading Company is now anxious to open up the market in the capital. These little tricks are just small-scale moves, and the real big moves are still to come!

She needs to conserve her energy and be prepared to deal with the storms ahead.

Of course, Nangong Hua was not idle that day.

He went out early this morning to pick up his good third brother from the dungeon.

Nangong Hua saw his brother's skinny appearance and felt relieved knowing that he had suffered a lot in the dungeon.

"Second brother, why did you come just now?"
