Chapter 694 Theme Clothing
Ordinary women need to stay in confinement for a month after giving birth. They cannot be exposed to wind or cold, and they will continue to have lochia discharge. If they do not take good care of themselves, they will suffer for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the princess couldn't help but feel puzzled when she saw her walking so freely and quickly.
Hu Xin'er explained, "Lord Zhao and his men are well versed in medicine and brought me good medicine, so I recovered faster than most people."
"That's true," the princess said with a smile. "He left the capital this time under the pretext of searching for the elixir of immortality, but in reality he was bringing you back. Or did he volunteer? Did you and he already know each other?"
Her face was full of gossip, and Hu Xin'er helplessly held her forehead: "We have never met before, but you, why are you so anxious to call me back?"
"Isn't it that Old Man Dou has some minor illnesses due to his old age?" The eldest princess looked very relaxed.
Hu Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, "Then why did you say such scary things in the imperial edict? I knew you were lying to me."
After sitting for a while, the two went to visit Old Man Dou.
Old man Dou now lives next to the Imperial Medical Office. If he is really bored on weekdays, he can go to check out the herbs in the palace. The environment is also good.
When Hu Xiner arrived, she saw Old Man Dou tapping his cane vigorously, "I already said it wasn't a serious illness. Why are you all here?"
It turned out that Doctor Dou and his family had all come.
Doctor Dou was not good at speaking, and when he saw that his master was angry, he fell to his knees on the ground.
Madam Dou stood by and advised, "Master, since you have no children, we naturally have to fulfill our filial duties on your behalf!"
Old Man Dou said nothing and looked towards the door in surprise.
Hu Xiner smiled and said, "Godfather, I'm back!"
Although the eldest princess had explained everything clearly, she still looked at Old Man Dou with some worry. Only after seeing that he was really not sick did she talk to the Dou family.
During this period of time, Old Man Dou has been well protected in the palace. The so-called minor health problems he had were actually just because he ate too much in the past few days, so he felt a little bloated.
During the conversation, Old Man Dou carefully picked up Little Tuanzi. Little Tuanzi was woken up from his sleep and opened his eyes angrily, as if he wanted to scratch his beard.
He laughed heartily: "I never thought that at my age, I would still have another grandson!"
Madam Dou then talked about the comic book shop: "Now I am the chief manager under the eldest princess. My job is to guide others in drawing. The eldest princess is preparing to sell comic books nationwide."
"That must have made a lot of money!" Hu Xin'er immediately cheered up. "Nangong Yue, where's my money?"
"How could this princess be without you?" The eldest princess glanced at him and said sarcastically. "Six thousand taels of gold have been sent to your mansion."
"So many?!" Hu Xiner was a little surprised.
Six thousand taels of gold is equivalent to a total of sixty thousand taels of silver!
The eldest princess placed her hands on her hips and said with a certain amount of pride, "Woman, look at your naiveté. I'm a very capable business executive and a rare business genius. Is it surprising that I only make a small amount of money?"
After Hu Xin'er's careful questioning, she finally revealed the truth: "From ancient times to the present, it's always been the rich and powerful who have the easiest money to make. I showed those comics to the Empress in the palace, had my father write a label, and then simply raised the price of the hardcover books, and then people rushed to buy them!"
Moreover, she thought of the surrounding industries that Hu Xin'er had discussed with her before, and then she had an idea and came up with a way to make more money.
That is, every time you buy a set of hardcover comics, you will get a ceramic comic figure made by the imperial court!
There are a total of 7 ceramic comic book figures, all of which are the protagonists of the comics. If you want to collect all these ceramic comic book figures, you have to buy all 7 sets of comics.
You can’t buy these seven sets of comics without a hundred taels of gold!
Even so, there is still a shortage of supply in the market.
Madam Dou couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "It's really strange. These things are usually not worth the price, but when put together, they attract so many people."
Especially those officials and their families are now proud of being able to buy a complete set of ceramic figurines. The playboys in the capital even regard it as something to show their status. They place it carefully at home and regard it as more important than the rank of their ancestors.
These suggestions were all mentioned by Hu Xiner to the eldest princess before, so she could naturally see the mystery behind them.
When an item is hyped to a certain extent, it will become a symbol of status, that is, a luxury item. At this time, people are not buying the item, but the identity behind it.
The eldest princess was very proud. "They love buying this kind of stuff. They used to carry cricket jars around. Each cricket would cost hundreds of taels of silver, and the best ones could cost thousands of taels. At least when they buy our comics, they can actually see the real thing, and they can give it to the woman they like. If the crickets die in the fight, they'll lose everything!"
Xiaolan chuckled. "So, now the idle and idle dandies in the capital are all wearing our jade pendants and folding fans... and going out to fight crickets."
However, the expenditure on crickets is naturally less.
After all, fighting crickets will not only get you scolded by your father, but it can also only be spread within a small circle.
But these comics and ceramic figurines are enjoyed by the empresses in the palace. Not only will you not be criticized for wasting your time on playthings, but others will also think that you are very classy and have good taste.
Most of the jade pendants and other peripheral items produced by the comic shop can only be obtained by buying comics and drawing blind boxes. They are very eye-catching when worn. If you wear them to a party, you will definitely attract the attention of the girls.
After all, when it comes to getting married, besides talent and appearance, personality is also important. Who wouldn't like a husband who has the same interests and hobbies as themselves?
The playboy of the Xie family in the capital city was able to get married by giving a set of comics to the woman he loved!
After getting married, he really turned over a new leaf and, under his wife's guidance, became a perfect man, becoming a legend.
All these things were manipulated by the eldest princess behind the scenes. She danced with joy and told many interesting stories when she mentioned them.
Hu Xin'er was stunned when she heard this: "Nangong Yue, this is the first time I've discovered that you are so talented."
The eldest princess placed her arm on her shoulders with great pride. "Knowing how to use people wisely is my greatest strength. It's my great fortune that your idea can be put to good use!"
She took another look at Hu Xin'er's clothes, frowned slightly, and called out, "Xiao Lan, change some nice clothes for the Second Princess and the Prince Consort."
Xiaolan clapped her hands, and the palace servants brought her a row of comics.
Hu Xin'er was full of questions: "What is this for?"
Xiaolan smiled and said, "Which theme of clothing do you like? We have them all!"
