She slept soundly through the night. The next morning, Sun Yun came over early and dragged her out of bed. "Ah Jun, Ah Jun, look! I drew all of this overnight. What do you think?"
Zhao Shu rubbed her eyes before looking at the stack of paintings in her hand. The paintings were square, round, and diamond-shaped, with all kinds of intricate and exquisite patterns.
And they're all small boxes, not big ones, so the cost will be very high. It seems we'll have to find a group of craftsmen and sign a contract with them.
"This is a picture of the small porcelain bottle. I drew it to order, and it will definitely fit in the box." Sun Yun was extremely excited.
Zhao Shu examined them all and found them to be extremely exquisite. Even a family of potters might not be able to produce such exquisite porcelain, let alone negotiate contracts for a long-term supply. It would be great if the household had a potter.
Opening a shop is not so easy; many things must be done well before it can open for business.
Seeing that she didn't seem very excited, Sun Yun assumed she was dissatisfied with her drawing and asked, "You don't think it's good?"
"It looks beautiful." Zhao Shu waved her hand hurriedly. She did not design all of these boxes herself. Every era has its own fashionable things.

"Green Ivy, go tell Xiao Guozi to inquire where there are skilled pottery masters in Guanzhou."
Sun Yun grabbed her arm, "It's from the official kiln."
Zhao Shu shook her head, "No, I have a grudge against the people of Prince Hui's mansion."
The official kilns of today are different from those of the previous dynasty; they are now under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Clan Court, which is managed by Prince Hui. Now is not the time to confront Prince Hui head-on.
I wonder when the news will arrive from the capital. That's the downside of poor communication and transportation. By the time you find out something, you might be hoping to get a piece of the pie, but by then it's too late.
