Chapter 174 We all like to make money
It was difficult for a naturally beautiful person like Zhao Shen to understand women's pursuit of beauty. Hearing this, he said, "Isn't your skin very good?"
Ji Yunshu grew up in the harem with the Queen Mother, who paid great attention to her physical care since she was a child.
The skin is so white and delicate that it easily leaves marks.
He has a deep understanding of this.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ji Yunshu with a dark look in his eyes.
Ji Yunshu was lying on the couch with her face up, so she naturally didn't notice his expression. She complained, "My skin isn't as smooth as it used to be these days. I need to take good care of it."
Zhao Shen walked over to her and looked at the batter with some curiosity. "I remember there are some skin-nourishing recipes in the palace. Aren't they better than this?"
Ji Yunshu said, "They each have their own benefits. Skin-nourishing recipes require long-term use, and the effects won't be noticeable. Mine only takes a short application, and the effects are immediate."
Hearing her say this, Zhao Shen was even more puzzled: "Your skin is already good, why do you need immediate results?"
Ji Yunshu then explained that she wanted to open a beauty salon and sell rouge and powder.
She had already thought about it. With so many rich ladies in the capital, they would definitely spend any amount of money to beautify their faces.
Who doesn’t like to become beautiful?
So if you do it in one step, you will definitely make money by opening a beauty salon.
Zhao Shen: I haven’t seen him for half a day, and his wife has come up with another money-making project.
He had already seen the restaurant's ability to make a fortune, so he naturally had no doubt that the beauty salon could not make money.
He was just puzzled: "What do you do with all that money?"
Ji Yunshu still had a mask on her face, so she couldn't move around. She grinned and said, "Who would complain about having too much money? Besides, Yichen and the others are still in their early stages of research, so it's only going to get more expensive. I don't think I can expect much from the Emperor."
The money in the national treasury cannot be touched without a legitimate reason, and the emperor is unlikely to empty his own private treasury to support her.
Even if he is willing, how much money can he have in his private treasury?
Ji Yunshu didn't hold out much hope.
This was not the first time Zhao Shen felt that Ji Yunshu was anxious about money.
But the fact is, apart from occasionally asking him for a few people, she has not touched a single cent of his property.
She was even unwilling to take over the job of housekeeper in the Marquis's mansion.
It seemed that from the very beginning, she had made a clear distinction between herself and herself.
He felt a little heavy in his heart: "Wouldn't it be enough if I filled it with all my property?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him strangely: "How can we live off our savings? Aren't we going to live a normal life in the future?"
Zhao Shen was indeed rich. Not only did he have all of his mother's dowry, but Lord Zhao had also given him a lot of financial support over the years.
He himself didn't have much to spend money on.
Before I knew it, I had accumulated a large amount of wealth.
But for Yichen and his team's research, it is really not enough.
And she wasn't completely sure what they could really come up with.
In other words, the money invested is very likely to be wasted.
So Ji Yunshu wanted to open a shop that could make money so that the money could flow.
Instead of just filling your savings.
Zhao Shen didn't think she was distancing herself from him, so he softened his tone again, "You're right, but those things aren't as expensive as you think, are they?"
The raw materials for explosives are not difficult to find, and you can blow up any hill on the Shen family's side.
The difficulty in building a seagoing ship lies in the technology. It doesn't cost much to employ a few people. The most serious cost is just the cost of building the ship.
A few hundred thousand taels would be enough.
But with Ji Yunshu in such a state, it seemed like hundreds of millions of silver would not be enough.
Ji Yunshu didn't explain how expensive research was, and she wanted to do more than what she had currently.
He just smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared than to have no money when the time comes."
Zhao Shen thought about it and thought what she said was right, so he stopped worrying about it: "Just do what you want to do. If there's anything I can do, just tell me."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Of course I won't be polite with you."
She knew that she was different from those who were born and raised in this era, so she did not dare to think too highly of herself and told Zhao Shen her plan seriously.
Zhao Shen also helped her analyze the merits of her plan and offered suggestions on the unreasonable aspects.
Ji Yunshu felt that asking Zhao Shen was the right suggestion.
He is very familiar with the capital and is now the Jingzhao Yin. He is knowledgeable about all matters, big and small. The suggestions he puts forward are very pertinent and of great reference value.
"It's great to have you."
Finally, she praised Zhao Shen happily.
Zhao Shen wanted to kiss her, but seeing the mask on her face, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He asked uncomfortably, "How long will this stay on your face?"
Ji Yunshu then remembered that she had actually recovered a long time ago, but she was so engrossed in her conversation with Zhao Shen that she had forgotten about it.
So he quickly asked someone to bring hot water to wash his face.
Lan Yin and Lu Ru were also very curious about this thing.
Because of this mess on her face, the lady ruined several top-quality pearls.
However, after seeing Ji Yunshu's glowing white skin after washing her face, he couldn't help but sigh: "The effect is so good."
It really can be said that the skin becomes whiter immediately.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "That's natural. I'll write down a few prescriptions later and you can try them."
Lu Ru quickly waved her hands: "Such fine pearls, I cannot afford them."
Ji Yunshu: "...What are you talking about? I just don't have enough pearls today. I'll find some ordinary pearls later, even those of inferior quality."
Anyway, they will all be ground into powder in the end, so it doesn’t matter what kind of pearls they are.
Lu Ru was relieved. "I was so scared! If you keep using pearls like this, I'm afraid your store won't be able to survive."
Ji Yunshu said unhappily, "Alright, go set the table."
She was just being extravagant occasionally, but this girl was dissatisfied with it.
After finally sending Lu Ru away, Zhao Shen said quietly, "There are a lot of pearls in the pearl storeroom. They are included in the gifts my grandparents send every year. I never touch them."
Quanzhou is close to the sea, so naturally there is no shortage of pearls.
Ji Yunshu really didn't have the habit of rummaging through Zhao Shen's warehouse.
She said casually, "Really? Then I'll go back and look for it."
While saying this, she was actually wondering if she could ask Shen Qingchuan to find a source of pearls for her.
After all, if you want to open a store, you will need a lot of this stuff.
At that time, there was no artificial breeding, and only places near the sea could have large quantities of natural pearls.
Zhao Shen knew at a glance that she was just trying to fool him, and her thoughts were drifting away.
He held the person in his arms and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Yunshu expressed his thoughts truthfully.
Zhao Shen said sourly, "You have a good relationship with him?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Don't we all like to make money?"
When she said this, Zhao Shen suddenly realized that he and Ji Yunshu seemed to have no common interests.
After spending such a long time together, it was enough for him to realize that Ji Yunshu actually didn't like reading.
Apart from the books that she could use, the rest of the books she read were some storybooks to relieve boredom.
She also doesn't like practicing martial arts, and she practices martial arts every day to protect herself.
He couldn't help but ask: "Besides making money, what else do you like to do?"
Ji Yunshu was stunned when she heard this. She seemed to have never thought about this question since she came here.
As a cannon fodder female supporting role who will die tragically, all she thinks about is just one thing: to survive.
