Chapter 377 You are the owner of Ruzhu Pavilion!
The task received by the Censorate this time was the first official letter from the new emperor, so it naturally had to be handled well. The two adults also acted decisively and vigorously.
But when they traced it in Pingyang Prefecture, they unexpectedly found the Qi family's shop in Hecheng.
Hecheng is located at the border, and although he is only a distant relative of the Grand Concubine, it also involves the palace and needs to be treated with caution.
"Of course! I'm the famous Jade-faced Golden Boy of Pingyang Prefecture! I do have some discerning eyes, otherwise how could you, Miss Song, choose me as your partner?"
Lin Qingyuan was very proud. He glanced at Wan Yanming and shook the hair crown on his head frivolously, full of provocation.
Wan Yanming's face, which was originally as gentle as jade, suddenly turned ashen with anger.
Song Liyun was very impressed by Lin Qingyuan's ability to act as he pleased.
Even though I knew he was a very capable businessman, I was still fooled by his greasy performance and mistook him for an uneducated playboy.
If she had free time, she would inevitably make fun of Lin Qingyuan for fun, but now the Wan family is here, if Lin Qingyuan continues to be frivolous, this business will be completely unsuccessful.
"Okay, since Master Lin can't stay any longer, let's make it short!"
Song Liyun was just about to express her thoughts when the waiter brought the dishes.
Guixianglou is just an ordinary restaurant, and the dishes they serve are ordinary, with only one dish, braised pig's trotter tendon, being considered a specialty.
Fortunately, no one was paying attention to the food, only Lin Qingyuan was eating voraciously.
Everyone has arrived, and Song Liyun is no longer keeping people in suspense.
Pointing at Lin Qingyuan who was gnawing on a bone, he said to Wan Yanming, "The business I want to talk about is ox horn products!"
Horn products?
Wan Yanming frowned and Lin Qingyuan pricked up his ears.
Although the ox horn cup is exquisite, it is just a novelty.
Nowadays, tortoise shell and ivory are still displayed in the exquisite pavilions of each house.
Song Liyun took out a wooden box, which contained a small comb made of ox horn, a few beads, a small ox horn fan only an inch in size, and a few miscellaneous items.
Wan Yanming took each one and examined it carefully.
Lin Qingyuan also put down his chopsticks and, ignoring Wan Yanming's angry glare, snatched a piece of ox horn with two small holes in it from his hand. "Miss Song, what is this?"
"It's a button!"
"Buttons? What are those?" Lin Qingyuan looked confused.
Song Liyun suddenly remembered that there were no buttons in this era. Everyone's clothes had cross collars on the front, fastened with belts on the outside and tied with various cloth straps on the inside.
She quickly put a horn button on the fabric of her cuff to demonstrate: "Cut a small hole here, and just pass the button through the hole to fix the fabric. It's more convenient than lacing!
Moreover, this button can not only fasten clothes, but if these bone pieces are inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, they can also sparkle like ornaments."
Lin Qingyuan and Wan Yanming are both men, so they naturally don't know how to dress.
However, clothing, in addition to covering the body, also has a decorative function.
Lin Qingyuan was in the jewelry business, and as soon as Song Liyun mentioned decorative items, he immediately understood.
Her eyes immediately widened and she stuttered, "Miss Song, do you mean to sell jewelry?"
Song Liyun didn't explain, just smiled faintly: "This requires the tacit cooperation of the two bosses!"
She has no knowledge of jewelry design, speaks little, and never reveals her true feelings in front of experts.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Lin Qingyuan and Wan Yanming's expressions changed. They looked at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads away.
Manager Wan was also looking at the horn comb.
The ox horn comb is delicate and smooth, with clear texture, and it has a lustrous luster without any modification, as if you are holding warm jade in your hand.
The same goes for those beads. If they are polished finely, they can be regarded as beautiful jade.
It can only be said to be comparable, but not to be taken seriously.
Manager Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Song, these ox horns can indeed be polished into beads, which are indeed very beautiful. However, our Wan family mainly deals in furs, so buying these ox horn beads... I'm afraid it will be difficult."
He was telling the truth. The Wan family was a fur shop, and now they mainly made bags. In addition, they had the cashmere and wool yarn. If they were to deal with these unprofitable ox horn beads, they would be too busy to do it.
Song Liyun looked at Lin Qingyuan: "What do you think, Mr. Lin? You don't have to worry about the raw materials!"
Lin Qingyuan rolled his eyes and said, "What do you need Song Liyun to say? The Wuda tribe has an endless supply of cow horns."
But with these samples, he was indeed aroused.
Cow horns can be polished into various jewelry, but selling them is a bit difficult.
Pingyang Prefecture is still too small and close to the grassland. What I like most are gold, silver and jade, and I am not very interested in these toys and ornaments with a strong rural flavor.
But the wealthy families in the southeast and the powerful families in Kyoto are different. They will like these down-to-earth things.
"I can figure out some charming bracelet beads, but I'm afraid others won't be able to sell them!" Lin Qingyuan glanced at Wan Yanming casually.
"How can you, an uneducated dandy like you, know what a charming bracelet is?"
Wan Yanming's words have hidden meaning!
This time he didn't get angry.
He was not stupid, and of course he knew that Miss Song was not joking when she gathered people together.
Moreover, these ox horn products are novel and unique, and have the same purpose as those bags. They may cause a stir among the literati in the south of the Yangtze River.
Thinking of this, Wan Yanming became excited again.
In the past, I racked my brains to find new products and ways to get them, but now these long-awaited new products are coming in like a tidal wave, and I am a little flustered.
Finding collaborators is a must.
But, what virtue and ability does Lin Qingyuan have to be favored by Song Liyun?
Song Liyun glared at Lin Qingyuan angrily and said, "Let's talk business now. You'd better put aside your rogue attitude. The Lin Mansion is still guarded by soldiers. You can't stay here for long."
Lin Qingyuan chuckled, realizing that he had overacted again.
He suppressed his smile, stood up, and formally saluted Wan Dashi and Wan Yanming: "I am Lin Qingyuan, the owner of Ruzhu Pavilion, and I am honored to meet you two Dashi!"
Wan Yanming and Manager Wan were stunned for a moment, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Are you the owner of Ruzhu Pavilion?"
Ruzhu Pavilion was originally unknown, but it has suddenly become famous in Pingyang Prefecture in recent years. Several pieces of peerless jade came from this pavilion.
The owner behind the scenes is even more mysterious. Anyone who wants to find out the inside story of the pavilion will always encounter all kinds of bad luck.
I didn't expect that it would be this playboy who only knew how to hang out in the city's theaters!
Lin Qingyuan's face was no longer as frivolous as usual. He said seriously, "Family affairs are complicated, and there are some things that are difficult to disclose to others. I have concealed something from you two just now. I apologize here!"
Manager Wan and Wan Yanming looked at each other and were shocked!
They had known about the Lin family affairs for a long time.
Others said that Lin Shouzhuo favored his concubine over his wife, but in fact, the family only had one illegitimate son and one illegitimate daughter, Lin Qingyuan, and all the other concubines had no children.
The legal wife is not a pushover either. She doesn't dare to touch Lin Qingyuan's mother, who is favored in the mansion, and will definitely wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
Outside, there was Lin Shouzhuo and Lin Shuban in the government office, and inside, there was his stepmother whom he hated to the core. Lin Qingyuan relied on pretending to be a playboy to deceive the world, and he had already established a fortune...
Awesome! What an awesome person!
