Yun Zhizhi gently put down her brush and calmly but authoritatively instructed Uncle He, "Uncle He, go and send those people outside away."
Uncle He nodded respectfully, then turned and walked away with steady steps.
After Uncle He left, Yun Zhizhi sat at the table, rested her chin on her hands, closed her bright eyes slightly, and fell into a moment of deep thought.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at He Yang beside her, and said softly, "Lazy Yang, I really don't plan to set up a stall to sell those dolls anymore."
Upon hearing this, He Yang, who had been full of anticipation, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, becoming listless and dejected.
Seeing He Yang's expression, as if he had lost hundreds of millions, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but chuckle, a beautiful smile curving her lips.
Seeing He Yang looking at her with a mournful expression, she coughed twice and then said, "However, although we will no longer set up a stall to sell dolls and figurines ourselves, we can still continue to cooperate with Madam Qin."
"Let the Qin family's velvet embroidery workshop be responsible for selling these dolls and figurines."
After hearing these words, He Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face regained its radiance, his previous frustration vanished.
He clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Wow! Boss is indeed the boss, this idea is brilliant!"
"In this way, we can not only still earn a substantial profit from the plush toys, but also free up time and energy to continue selling other items at our stall!"
"That's truly killing two birds with one stone!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and cast an admiring glance at Yun Zhizhi.
Yun Zhizhi smiled and shook her head, seemingly unconcerned about He Yang's praise.
She picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to He Yang. On it was a design she had just carefully drawn for a plate mold used to hold food.
"Lazy Yangyang, take this design and immediately find some skilled carpenters to make five hundred of these wooden plates for serving meals."
"Remember, make sure to tell them they absolutely must finish within two days."
He Yang took the blueprints, glanced at them, and asked with a grin, "Why did you need them in such a hurry?"
"We'll need it for our stall in two days."
He Yang was stunned.
Is the next round of street vending about to begin so soon?
Isn't the eldest brother always the type to work hard for three days and then slack off for two?
Alright.
Since the eldest brother is so eager to make money, he can only try to earn as much as he can while he's still young.
I'll wait until I'm over fifty before I can comfortably relax and do nothing!
He Yang patted his chest and confidently assured him, "Leave this to me, I'll definitely get it done on time!"
At three quarters past the hour of You (5:45 PM), the setting sun cast its last rays through the clouds onto the earth.
Qi Yize and Qin Zihao, who often visited the Sixth Prince's Mansion, entered the mansion with leisurely steps, just like always.
As they passed through the main hall of the palace and entered the study, the scene before them stunned them instantly.
On almost every chair, there was a delicate and cute doll placed neatly.
These dolls are all different in shape and lifelike. Some are cute and adorable, while others are playful and lively, as if they have life of their own.
Qi Yize's already small eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed:
"Yun Jin, this is too extravagant! You just casually put these dolls on the chairs for guests to cushion their backs."
"You know, those children and women outside cherish these dolls like treasures! They either sleep with them all day or carefully keep them as priceless gems."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zihao turned his head and glanced at him, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he said:
"Stop worrying about Yun Jin. He's Yun Zhizhi's future husband, he has plenty of money to live a life of luxury."
Reminded by Qin Zihao, Qi Yize suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead, exclaiming in realization:
"Oh dear, what a terrible memory I have. I've forgotten that his yet-to-be-married empress is the one who developed and sold this rare item."
After saying that, Qi Yize scratched his head and walked towards Zhao Yunjin, who was sitting quietly in the study, focused on handling official business, and asked, "Yunjin, do you know that Miss Yun no longer sells dolls and plush toys?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin nodded slightly.
Yesterday, Zhao Wu had already returned to the palace to report this matter to him.
Qi Yize couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! That's such a pity! These days, these dolls are such rare items that even money can't buy them."
"Some wealthy families are willing to spend a lot of money to buy back the dolls from ordinary people who have already bought them, in order to own such a treasure or to collect all twenty dolls."
At this moment, Qin Zihao, who was standing to the side, remained silent.
In fact, compared to Qi Yize, he felt more regretful that Yun Zhizhi stopped selling dolls.
After all, the Qin family was her business partner.
Although the cooperation between the two parties was extremely short, she successfully helped their velvet embroidery workshop overcome this difficulty through her own abilities.
That is why he felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Yun Zhizhi.
Even though he longed to continue a long-term and stable working relationship with her, he couldn't bear to see his friend caught in a dilemma.
Just then, Zhao San walked briskly into the study, bowed, and announced, "Master, Miss Yun has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin immediately perked up, quickly stood up, and strode towards the door without hesitation.
He prepared to go and greet her in person.
Qi Yize and Qin Zihao exchanged a knowing glance.
Both of them seemed to sense the difference in treatment from each other's eyes.
The phrase "prioritizing romance over friendship" is the most fitting description.
Upon seeing Yun Zhizhi, Zhao Yunjin's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, his voice deep and pleasant: "Have you been tired these past few days? I hope your master hasn't caused you any trouble!"
Yun Zhizhi waved her hand with a smile, "Master Xuanzhen helped me a lot this time. He not only dressed up as Bald Qiang, but also worked very hard to help promote the dolls."
"That's good! Don't take it to heart. Consider his efforts as covering the expenses of your Yun family."
The two chatted as they walked into the study.
Once inside, Yun Zhizhi noticed that there were two other people in the study.
