Chapter 187: Surprise! The Third Prince's rebellion has come early!
People who were well-informed learned that the warm jade came from the Jinyang Marquis's Mansion, and those who wanted to buy it went to Min and Jian Zhang. Min once became a guest of honor at major flower banquets.
Not to mention Jian Zhang, there was an endless stream of people coming to give gifts every day.
Min gave several sets of warm jade to her relatives from her natal family, and praised Nan Nan for her cleverness and kindness whenever she met someone.
The threshold of the Jinyang Marquis's Mansion was almost broken by the matchmaker.
The warm jade, which was hard to come by for high-ranking officials outside, had already been used by the little maid in the main room of the Jinyang Marquis's Mansion, and she used it to wash her hands.
This led to the maids of the Jinyang Marquis's Mansion being complimented by the maids of other mansions when they went out to visit guests.
The maids of the second and third rooms often visited the first room, just to wash their hands before leaving.
It can be said that when one person succeeds, the maids will follow.
The old lady, the second and third rooms also wanted to buy Nuan Yu, but were severely ripped off by Jian Ruonan.
The old lady felt sorry for the money, and was so angry that she closed the door and scolded the first room for being unfilial and not giving good things to her grandmother.
She didn't dare to scold too loudly, for fear that Jian Ruonan would hear it.
The old lady finished scolding in the morning, but in the afternoon, the maid in the old lady's yard told the first room exactly what the old lady had scolded in order to wash her hands in the first room.
Jian Ruonan walked around the old lady's yard wearing gloves, and the old lady was as quiet as a hen, lying on the kang and not daring to say a word.

Princess Jiarou also knew about Nuan Yu in the palace.
Princess Funing got a set of small animal patterns, and she showed it off to Princess Jiarou every day, which made Princess Jiarou very angry.
Princess Jiarou went to Jinyang Marquis to find Jian Ruonan: "Make 100 sets for me, with different patterns, and engrave my name on them."
"Oh, it would be better to make a pig head and name it Fu Zhuzhu."
Princess Funing has a round face, and privately, she has a nickname of Fu Zhuzhu.
She wants to use the Fu Zhuzhu warm jade to stimulate Princess Funing!
Jian Ruonan perfunctorily said: "Wait, I'll give the order and wait for the schedule. Let's see if it's about next year."
Warm jade has a special mold, and it takes a lot of labor to carve a set of molds.
Warm jade takes the high-end route. After demolding, craftsmen are hired to carve it.
How is it possible to print 100 sets specifically for Princess Jiarou? !
It's too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
And Nuanyu is using hungry marketing. If she makes a hundred sets at once, it's not because of scarcity that things are valuable.
Princess Jiarou: "Add another 10,000 taels as labor costs."
Jian Ruonan: ! !
Damn it, Princess Jiarou always finds her weak spot.
"Hey, let me think about it. If we make careful arrangements, it will be ready in three or four months. But let's make it clear first, if there are 100 sets, the princess can only keep them for herself."
Princess Jiarou agreed: "Three or four months is too long, can it be faster?"
Jian Ruonan: "Three or four months is the limit, Princess Jiarou, our warm jade is a high-end product, it must be carefully designed, and the production process must be strictly controlled. We have quality and principles, and we can't just pursue speed..."
Princess Jiarou was impatient: "Fifty thousand taels!"
Jian Ruonan: "In fact, it can be shortened to one month."
Princess Jiarou: "Gold!"
Jian Ruonan: "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."
Princess Jiarou: "..."
Teng Ge'er, who was watching the whole process, was simply amazed.
The cub stared at the fifth sister happily, waiting for the fifth sister to count down and take out the 100 sets of warm jade that Princess Jiarou asked for.
Finally, it was discovered that the fifth sister was just talking nonsense and couldn't even produce a set of warm jade. Teng Ge'er was very disappointed.
Jian Ruonan: "You can produce ten sets next week. I will make some arrangements. Others will move aside. Make the 'Lucky Pig' tomorrow, so that the princess can regain her face in front of Princess Funing first!"
Princess Jiarou was very satisfied, "The fifth sister is still right!"
"Princess Jiarou, what does your family do?" Jian Ruonan was very confused. Princess Jiarou was too generous.
Princess Jiarou: "My family has mines."
Princess Jiarou's mother was born into the largest merchant family in Daxia. The family's industries spread all over the country, and her family really had mines. Not only mines, but also gold mines, silver mines, and iron mines. It can be said that they are rich enough to rival a country. Although the mines are controlled by the state, they belong to Princess Jiarou. Princess Jiarou has the priority to purchase iron ore. She can also mine some small mines by herself after reporting to the court.
Princess Jiarou is an only daughter. After her parents passed away, all the industries were handed over to her. She grew up in the palace since she was a child. Concubine De helped her with her daily life. She also helped manage the industries left by her parents. There was almost no place to spend money.
As a result, Princess Jiarou's slush fund became more and more. She finally found Jian Ruonan as a place to spend money. Shouldn't she spend a lot of money?
At the beginning, Princess Jiarou married the third prince as she wished, which gave him a lot of help.
Jian Ruonan: "Princess, you have so much money, you have to be careful, don't get cheated by those people with ulterior motives!"
Princess Jiarou: "I feel at ease spending money with you!"
Jian Ruonan: "That's right, I have all kinds of skills, but my character is trustworthy, you can rest assured spending money with me."
"By the way, Princess, do you want to pay the gold in one lump sum or in installments?"
Princess Jiarou waved her hand: "It's just 50,000 taels of gold, why should I pay in installments? I will have someone carry it to your house in a while!"
Jian Ruonan: "Hey, Princess, please come this way, Brother Teng, why don't you pour me a cup of hot tea!"
"Coming!" Brother Teng happily served tea and water to serve the big customers. After warm
jade
dominated the market, the price of soap dropped precipitously, becoming something that ordinary people could afford.
Min was reluctant to use warm jade, so she bought a lot of soap to wash her feet. "Although it's not as good as warm jade, the people who made the soap are also very good."
Jian Ruonan was lying on the kang counting the banknotes. Hearing this, she couldn't help but complain in her heart:
[This soap should be made by Jian Chuxue.]
Mrs. Min: Chuxue?
Years ago, Jian Zhang sent people to the manor to look for Jian Chuxue. Even if he didn't bring her back to the manor for the New Year, he had to give her some money for the New Year.
The people sent by Jian Zhang didn't see Jian Chuxue.
People on the manor said that Jian Chuxue didn't stay on the manor for long and left.
Unexpectedly, Jian Chuxue went back to the manor by herself.
She found Mrs. Min and wanted to break up with the Jinyang Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Min was very surprised at the time.
It is very difficult for a woman to survive on her own if she leaves the family on her own initiative.
In Mrs. Min's eyes, this is a very unorthodox thing.
Mrs. Min kindly advised her to think it over carefully.
But she had made up her mind and asked Mrs. Min not to regret choosing Jian Ruonan.
Min was so angry that she asked her to leave immediately.
I didn't expect Jian Chuxue to be really capable. Although the soap was not as good as Nuanyu, it could make Jian Chuxue worry-free.
Jian Ruonan was lying on the bed counting banknotes.
[I'm rich, I'm rich! I'm rich! I bought a Nokia with my left hand and a Motorola with my right hand——]
"One for me, one for me, another for me, another for me..."
Teng Ge'er looked at him eagerly. Jian Ruonan got nine banknotes before giving one to Teng Ge'er.
Before Teng'er could even hold the banknotes in his pocket, Min took all of them: "You are young, so mother will keep them for you!"
Teng'er: "..."
"Teng'er has to write down how much mother keeps!"
Min joked: "Are you so serious with mother?"
Teng'er: "The main thing is that this is given to Teng'er by Fifth Sister, not a cent less."
Min: "..."
Teng'er: "Fifth Sister, Ruonan Bookstore and Nuanyu are going to be opened all over the country. With so much money, let's open a bank."
"Bank?" Jian Ruonan sat up.
[Isn't it just a bank? ]
Teng'er: What bank?
I can't understand the new things in Fifth Sister's mind!
"Okay! This is a good idea." Jian Ruonan: "Let's ask Brother-in-law Hou tomorrow and see what he thinks."
Leaving everything to Brother-in-law Hou is not just because she is lazy. And the most important point is that Jian Ruonan believes that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
Apart from her identity as a time traveler, she is not much more powerful than the ancients.
If Jian Chuxue had considered her soap more carefully and not been so anxious, she might have really made a name for herself, and Nuanyu would have been out of business.
Teng Ge'er: "Fifth sister, it's spring now, how are the preparations for digging for the treasures of the previous dynasty going?!"
"Almost." Wu Yehe and Li Guanzhu have almost finished developing the explosives. When the cow gives birth, she will ask the Fourth Prince for some iron, and make some engineering shovels or something, and then choose an auspicious day to set off.
Jian Ruonan opened the system and searched for the treasures of the previous dynasty——
[The third prince has already started preparing to dig for treasure!!]
[The rebellion has come early? ?]
[Damn it, I have to catch up fast!!]
Teng Ge’er: “…”
What?
It’s just digging for treasure, how can it be linked to rebellion? !
