In modern times, Zhao Guangyuan learned a word called "hunger marketing."
They engaged in hunger marketing and limited editions, making this small flower, bird, fish and insect shop famous in the capital. In the capital, if there are still people who don’t know Qiya Flower and Bird Shop, they dare not say that they are from the capital.
Seeing it open, seeing it making money every day, all colleagues are jealous.
The sign that Zhao Guangyuan had put up to collect rare flowers and plants has also collected a lot of good things in recent days.
One comes from the poor people in Nanbei City. Seeing some stores selling famous flowers and plants at high prices, they went around looking for them. Someone dug up an orchid in the mountains and sold it for ten gold, and then happily moved out of the shantytown in Nanshi. It also attracted everyone to follow suit.
The other part of the supply comes from wealthy families.
The items in Qiya's shop are so rare and expensive that many people bring the famous flowers from their own flower gardens in exchange for the flowers, birds, fish and insects in Qiya's shop.
Zhao Guangyuan made a lot of money by selling and collecting.
"Your Highness, are you really not buying any goods?"
Cao Cuo petted the teacup dog in the bag in front of him with a doting look on his face, "I didn't expect this dog to be sold for hundreds of gold."
Tsk tsk, I don’t know what kind it is, but I heard it can only grow so big. Oops, it’s so big, so how can I carry it around without putting it in a satchel. But I don’t dare to let it out, what if it scares other animals?
Zhao Guangyuan glanced at Cao Cuo and gave him a teacup dog. Cao Cuo loved it so much that he carried it with him every day and put it next to his pillow when he slept.
It is also very rare for Jinxiu and others. Zhao Guangyuan knew that Jinxiu and the others wanted it, but he couldn't give it to him.
If the nobles in the capital knew that such a precious little thing was even owned by the palace staff in the imperial mausoleum, the price of the teacup dog might drop.
The noble ladies in the capital have no other pastimes. They never leave the house or step outside the door. It is so rare to have a cat or dog to accompany them, and many of them want to spend a lot of money to buy it. If you put more money out, you won't have to worry about making money.
But Zhao Guangyuan didn't want to let go too much. Whatever rare things are, once there are too many of them and become widespread, they are worthless.
"You can't bring in too many goods, but the shop can be moved to a bigger place." Opening the shop in Nanshi is really not enough to show its value. The nobles are unwilling to set foot on lowly soil, thus losing a lot of business.
And there are a lot of people staring at the shop now.
Just as he was thinking about whose name he should name the shop, Jiang Wentao came in disguise again.
When he saw the teacup dog in Cao Cuo's arms, he immediately pounced on it. "How could you have it!"
Cao Cuo's quick eyesight and quick hands immediately put the teacup dog into his bag and jumped a few feet away from him, guarding him tightly to prevent him from grabbing it.
Zhao Guangyuan watched the two of them fighting for each other and said calmly: "Why did you bother to snatch it from him? You didn't want it when Deyang personally delivered it to your door, but you came all the way to snatch it from him."
Jiang Wentao stopped fighting and sat down next to Zhao Guangyuan.
"I didn't grab it for me. I wanted to get one for my mother. My mother really liked it. When Deyang came to her door, she wanted to pack me up and marry me to Prince Qi's palace."
Seeing his disgusted look, Zhao Guangyuan joked: "What's wrong with Deyang?"
Zhao Guangyuan still had a good impression of this cousin. Although he is a bit pampered, he is not evil-minded.
"There's nothing wrong with her." Jiang Wentao felt a little uncomfortable when talking about Princess Deyang. "Prince Qi seems to have that intention. He often takes my father to drink, but my father says that my family is not worthy."
"Are you not worthy of being a prostitute? If you marry Deyang, you can become an official and you won't have to sit on the bench."
"But I don't want to rely on women."
Zhao Guangyuan glanced at him and said nothing.
Jiang Wentao met his gaze and suddenly sat up straight, "Prince Qi is very talkative in the clan. And he has a good relationship with the emperor."
After hesitating, "If you need it, I can't marry Deyang."
Zhao Guangyuan glanced at him sideways, "Deyang deserves you, there is no need to be so aggrieved."
"I'm not wronged. It's because my family doesn't deserve it. And she's eight years younger than me." Deyang is just a child. It's sunny and cloudy sometimes, and I love to stick to him. It was unbearable for him.
"Yes, she is eight years younger than you. If it hadn't happened six years ago, you would have married a wife and had children." Zhao Guangyuan sighed with emotion.
There is no need to sit on the bench until now and say that getting married is difficult and neither good nor bad.
When Jiang Wentao saw his depressed expression, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't think that way. I don't feel regretful. As a man, it doesn't make any difference whether you marry a wife sooner or later. I am glad that I have lived a happy life for a few years. ."
Afraid that Zhao Guangyuan would think too much, he hurriedly explained.
Zhao Guangyuan smiled. No matter what, Jiang Wentao was implicated by him.
"You and your father and brother don't have to do anything against your will for me. Besides, Deyang and Uncle Qi Wang are worried about having their heads shaved. My father will not let Deyang marry into your family."
Jiang Wentao lowered his eyes, "Father said so too."
Therefore, my father has been avoiding Prince Qi, and he is also avoiding Deyang.
Zhao Guangyuan sighed when he saw his expression. Looking at him like this, it doesn't seem like he has any affection for Deyang.
"Uncle Prince Qi is a very transparent person. I don't know why he came to your father."
"Prince Qi loves Deyang very much."
After hearing this, Zhao Guangyuan looked at him again.
Nodding: "Yes. Deyang is Uncle Qi Wang's only legitimate daughter. He has watched her grow up since she was born. She was also named Zhangzhu, which shows the depth of her love."
Maybe because of this favor, this marriage might finally happen. Jiang Wentao and Deyang? They are truly a match made in heaven.
It's just that his father... I'm afraid there will be a lot of twists and turns.
Seeing that he was still staring at the puppy in Cao Cuo's arms, he smiled and said, "If you like this teacup dog, I will give you one."
Jiang Wentao jumped up, "I knew you opened that shop!"
He was so excited that he said, "Then I will be close to the world in the future. My father also likes those two-colored flowers. Prince Qi coaxed him to come and see them twice, and he regretted them when he came back. If you have one, give one to my father." "
Zhao Guangyuan nodded in agreement.
Then he said, "It is no longer appropriate to open that shop in Nanshi. Does your family have a shop in East and West Market? If you free up one, use it..."
"Use my name!" Jiang Wentao couldn't wait. "Anyway, I can't be assigned a job now. It's just right to run a shop like this without doing my job, and it won't be conspicuous, and the nobles in the capital don't dare to trouble me."
Zhao Guangyuan smiled and said, "Yes, if anyone dares to cause trouble for you, you still have Prince Qi's support."
Jiang Wentao lowered his head, feeling a little uncomfortable, "You don't need Prince Qi. My family's name is still useful in the capital."
Zhao Guangyuan still shook his head, "I can't hang it on you or your family. I didn't intend to cover it up, and it doesn't matter if someone notices me. But if something happens, you still need to come forward to defend me. I'll give you one in private. Into dry shares.”
"No need to give me sex!" Jiang Wentao waved his hand and refused.
"If your Highness has something good, just leave a copy for me. The magnifying glass like last time would be great. I like it very much."
Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Okay. I'll leave a copy for you."
He added: "The paintings you made last time and the paintings you collected sold very well. If you have time, you can paint more and help us collect more."
Jiang Wentao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, now I draw whenever I have free time. My father and eldest brother are like me. They have saved a lot, and I brought some here this time."
Jiang Wentao also didn't expect that the paintings of the three of them would sell so well.
The bank note given by His Highness not only returned what his father gave to His Highness, but also made a lot more. The salary of my father and eldest brother over the years and what the Jiang family has saved over the years are not as much as what His Highness has given me.
He is much richer now. Really appreciate what it feels like to spend a lot of money outside.
I didn’t expect his paintings to be so valuable! As long as His Highness needs it, he will be happy to cut off his hands.
