Chapter 299: Doing business and redeeming yourself at the same time!

A full moon banquet is full of luxury.

At the same time, it also made the aristocratic families understand once again that no one can replace the Gu family.

Although Gu Ting would occasionally go crazy during court sessions, the emperor never punished him severely.

The Princess's Mansion still enjoys the same honor and favor. There is no such thing as her being more meritorious than her master, nor is there any such thing as her being abandoned after her work has done her a service.

Many people had predicted that once the Emperor secured his throne, he would not tolerate the excessive aggressiveness of the Princess and Gu Ting.

But after waiting year after year, the honor and favor of the Princess's Mansion was still unmatched.

Even the Gu family is a prominent presence in the capital.

The first and second wives of the Gu family are not dirty with each other, but they support each other.

I originally thought that Gu Jinghuai, who had returned to his ancestral home, and his country wife would be a burden to the Gu family, but I never expected that each of them would be more capable than the other.

The Gu family not only loves and dotes on their adopted grandsons, granddaughters and granddaughters-in-law, but also pampers them to no end.

Today, the Gu family enjoys even greater favor from the emperor, and the Qin family is a new elite in Beijing, so naturally, many people want to make friends with them.

Since the Wang family married into the Qin family, their status has been rising rapidly and their business has been getting more and more successful.

After the full moon banquet.

Qin Zhizhi asked someone to find the amethyst sent by Wang Xinru, and called Gu Yunfei, Ning Ning and Wang Xinru.

"Sister-in-law, is there something you want us to do?" Gu Yunfei asked with a smile while teasing Gu Nian.

"I have something to discuss with you." Qin Zhizhi said with a smile.

They are not outsiders. They can make money and have fun by doing business together.

"Sister Zhizhi, if you have something to discuss, just tell me directly. What do you want to discuss? I'll listen to you anyway. My mother says I'm not smart enough, but as long as you don't sell me off, it's fine."

Ning Ning smiled and joked to herself. What Cui meant was that there was no need to be on guard when getting along with Qin Zhizhi and the others. Just follow Qin Zhizhi.

"I'm fine with anything. I have plenty of money. Come to me if you need money." Wang Xinru has absolute trust in Qin Zhizhi.

"My uncle is the emperor. If you can't handle something, let me do it. If that doesn't work, go cry to my uncle." Gu Yunfei never concealed the emperor's love for her.

Qin Zhizhi was directly amused by several people.

"I asked you to come here today so that we can make money together. Wait a moment, I have something to show you."

After saying this, Qin Zhizhi turned around and went back to the dormitory to get her things.

The three of them were extremely curious about what kind of money-making thing Qin Zhizhi valued so much.

After a while, Qin Zhizhi came back with a box and put it on the table.

After opening the box, several people were stunned. The jewelry inside was so beautiful.

Qin Zhizhi used amethyst to exchange for bracelets, bangles, necklaces, pendants, rings, earrings, etc. from Wanwan.

"Sister Zhizhi, how can there be such beautiful jewelry? Every piece is so beautiful."

Ning Ning stared at these jewelries, she loved every piece of them!

"Sister-in-law, this is so beautiful! If you wear it outside, the young ladies from the aristocratic families will definitely be envious."

"Sister Zhizhi, is this made from the crystal I gave to Nian Nian?"

Wang Xinru asked uncertainly. She had traveled all over the country with Master Wang and had seen the world.

"Ah, it's made of crystal? That's unlikely!" Ning Ning didn't believe it. She just thought that the stone was special at first, but she didn't expect that it could be made into such a beautiful piece of jewelry.

Ning Ning had to believe it only when she saw Qin Zhizhi nod.

"This crystal is called amethyst. I happen to know how to use it to make jewelry. Do you want to open a shop with me to make money?" Qin Zhizhi asked with a smile.

"Such beautiful jewelry will definitely sell like hotcakes. I must join in, but Sister Zhizhi, I don't know anything. How can I take advantage of you for nothing?"

Ning Ning really wanted to join, but she felt that she had neither the skills nor the raw materials, so why should she join?

"What about you?" Qin Zhizhi did not answer Ning Ning, but asked Gu Yunfei and Wang Xinru.

Although the two had similar ideas to Ning Ning, they still nodded firmly.

They thought that since Sister-in-law/Sister Zhizhi had called them here, she must have already thought it through.

Seeing that everyone agreed to join, Qin Zhizhi smiled even more happily.

"Since everyone agrees to join, let's figure out whether we can open our shop."

"Sister Zhizhi, what do you mean?" Ning Ning felt that to open a shop, all you needed was money and people. How could it be impossible?

"I've already asked my husband, and he said this kind of crystal is produced in the northwest, and the journey is long and the transportation cost is high."

"It's easy to get it from the northwest. I'll have my uncle send someone to dig some up and send it to the capital. We can use it first. There's no war in the northwest right now, so my uncle can take care of it."

"Don't be afraid of the long journey. The road to the northwest is already under construction. My Wang family has a dedicated caravan, so I'll take care of transporting the crystals."

When Ning Ning and Wang Xin heard that there was something they could do, they rushed to help.

"But this crystal belongs to the royal family. We can't dig it privately, so..."

"I'll go to the palace to find my uncle and take care of this matter."

Gu Yunfei was joking when she said she wanted to go cry to her uncle, but she didn't expect that she really needed to cry.

"If the above three things can be solved, then we can open the shop. I can arrange the design and drawings."

"What are we waiting for? Let's act separately." Ning Ning was excited.

"Since we're using royal supplies, how about we give 40% of the profits to the Emperor?"

Qin Zhizhi felt that cooperating with the emperor was the safest option, but the profit was only 40%.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"I have no objection!"

Wang Xinru has been in the business world for so long that she knows best that it is easy to get things done if you have someone in the court, not to mention that this person is the emperor.

"Then let's split up. Princess, take this box of jewelry to the palace and present it to the Empress. Also bring our profit-sharing agreement."

"If the emperor doesn't agree, we can just cooperate with the empress." Qin Zhizhi said wickedly.

Gu Yunfei laughed out loud when she heard that, thinking that her sister-in-law was too mean. She liked it, so she didn't want to cry to her uncle. She could just go to her aunt's palace and act coquettishly.

She wanted to tell her aunt that all men were pigs and unreliable, and that she should save more money.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I promise to do it properly. Just wait for my good news!"

Gu Yunfei was full of confidence. If her father had to quarrel with her uncle again, the whole family would stand on the side of the prince.

"Sister Zhizhi, what about me?" Ning Ning asked anxiously.

"Go back and write a letter to your uncle, telling him about the situation. Once the princess has finished her work, ask your uncle to organize some people to help us dig."

"We can find some people from the Ning family army who can't go to the battlefield to help us. We will pay their wages so that they can also support themselves."

Qin Zhizhi had already thought of it, to dig crystals for those who could no longer fight in the battlefield, so that they would have money to rely on when they were old.

"Sister Zhizhi!"

Ning Ning was very touched. Their family employed people like this on their farm, but every year there were still people who could not get better placement.

Qin Zhizhi knows the righteousness of the matter, and his uncle will definitely agree.
