Song Shaoheng cursed and wanted to get out of bed to settle the score with Chi Yunzhi.
But Chu folded her arms and looked at him coldly.
"You've become so bold that you dare to go to that kind of place? Are you tired of living?" Chu grabbed his ear and twisted it clockwise. Song Shaoheng let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
He had only shouted halfway when one of his own smelly socks was stuffed into his mouth.
All the screams were no match for the power of the stinky socks. Song Shaoheng's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Chu was in a panic again.
Amidst Song Shaoheng's screams, the Song Mansion received the plaque of Marquis of Zhenyuan bestowed by the emperor.
Song Tingyue officially inherited Song Huaichuan's title of Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Chu looked at Song Tingyue with a little more eagerness, which made Song Tingyue feel a little uncomfortable.
The time for the appointment with Princess Muyang is approaching, and Chi Yunzhi took Zhuyin to Baoyun Pavilion today.
The decoration of the second floor has been readjusted according to Chi Yunzhi's requirements.
Three private rooms were set aside to receive these noble ladies. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls looked very luxurious, and the layout was in line with their status.
Given Baoyun Pavilion's current financial situation, it cannot afford a painting worth thousands of gold coins.
This is barely enough.
Chi Yunzhi nodded with satisfaction.
"We have to arrange for drinks in the future." Chi Yunzhi stood in front of the window on the second floor and looked at the street outside.
The place was bustling with people.
A peddler passed by carrying goods, his body as nimble as a loach.
Chi Yunzhi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, smelling the scent of everyday life.
"Why do we need to arrange drinks? Wouldn't it be better to have some light refreshments?" The waiter muttered in confusion.
"Because we can also sell drinks, but we provide them to the ladies for free. This will make them feel special and feel that they are unique in our store."
Chi Yunzhi remembered that in modern luxury bag stores, every customer who entered would receive a free drink.
Customers try on bags while drinking drinks, which is very elegant.
Of course, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t buy anything in the end.
After Chi Yunzhi said this, the waiter and the shopkeeper felt as if something had suddenly clicked in their heads.
"Of course we can set up a membership system. Those who spend ten taels of silver in our store are bronze members, fifty taels are silver members, and one hundred taels and above are gold members."
Chi Yunzhi was talking about her store membership plan with great interest, while the shopkeeper was taking notes quickly with a pen.
While taking notes, I sighed at how flexible and useful the fourth young lady's brain was.
"We can set up different drink configurations according to different levels. Of course, some exclusive pastries for members will also be provided later."
Chi Yunzhi knew very well that one cannot become fat in one bite, but when talking about this, she couldn't help but build her own membership system.
The shopkeeper praised the system highly and asked, “When can we start doing this?”
"We have to choose a suitable place to make drinks and pastries." Chi Yunzhi thought about it and felt more and more that this method was feasible.
At this time, the craftsman who came to deliver the customized jewelry arrived.
Chi Yunzhi politely welcomed the person into the house.
The integrity of these pieces of jewelry was checked in person.
As soon as the box containing the jewelry was opened, the shopkeeper and the waiter opened their mouths in surprise.
The drawings given by Chi Yunzhi are common designs in modern times, but they are indeed rare treasures in ancient times.
Chi Yunzhi nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, it would be more direct if she bought it directly from the mall, but since the source is unclear, it seems untenable.
What's more, she wants to become famous through design, not just finished products.
After paying the remaining silver, the craftsman was still not planning to leave. Chi Yunzhi knew that there was business coming.
She was not in a hurry and just waited for the other party to speak first.
When it comes to business negotiations, the party who speaks first is often at a disadvantage.
The craftsman was a young man wearing coarse linen clothes. His hands were wrapped with thick strips of cloth and there were calluses on his palms. It was obvious that he was an experienced worker.
The two chatted and laughed as they finished two pots of tea, and the craftsman finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"The exquisiteness of this jewelry is absolutely top-notch. My master also praised the ingenuity in it when he made it." He said with a smile.
"This is a blueprint that I spent several nights to draw, and it was not easy to come by." Chi Yunzhi continued the conversation, but did not mention business matters.
"What my master means is, can you sell this blueprint to us? Our family is willing to pay for it." The young man said, staring at Chi Yunzhi's face.
"What are you looking at? Do you think you can stare at our Lady of Zhenyuan?" Zhu Yin saw that his gaze stayed on Chi Yunzhi for a little too long and couldn't help but scold him.
The young man finally realized his behavior and stood up to salute Chi Yunzhi. "I really admire the ingenuity of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Please forgive me for offending you."
Chi Yunzhi didn't care about these things. She waved her hand and asked people to sit down.
The young man began to feel uncomfortable all over, but he could not forget his master's instructions, so he sat upright with his body stiff.
"Name a price, let me see."
"Ten taels of silver." The young man said with clenched fists.
"Show you away." Chi Yunzhi had already picked up the teacup and blew away the floating leaves.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and made a gesture of "please" for the jewelry. The young man stood up suddenly, his face flushed.
"Twenty taels!" he roared, earning a glare from Zhuyin.
"To be honest, this jewelry was specially prepared for Princess Muyang. I promised her that it would be a one-of-a-kind piece. If she knew I sold the blueprint, she would blame me for breaking my promise, and that's unacceptable."
Chi Yunzhi said calmly.
It's almost time for her to leave.
The young man hesitated for a moment, his fists hanging down as he clenched the tattered skirt on his body.
"One hundred taels! How about one hundred taels?" This is the highest price, no more.
Chi Yunzhi stopped as she was about to go downstairs.
The design drawings of a hairpin and a pair of earrings were exchanged for one hundred taels, which was actually about the price to get.
"Okay, it's settled." Chi Yunzhi turned around and a smile appeared on her lips.
Although the shopkeeper had seen the world, he felt that it was not worth spending a hundred taels on a drawing.
If you encounter a craftsman with a bad heart, what if you just ask him to draw the blueprint?
Isn’t Chi Yunzhi helpless?
Fortunately, he found a craftsman who had worked with the Chi family for decades.
The shopkeeper was pleased with his foresight.
"I will talk to Princess Muyang. You guys wait for my news before you do anything." Chi Yunzhi put forward a condition.
"That's for sure." The young man completed the task assigned to him by his master, with a smile on his dark red face.
After the payment was made, the young man left happily.
