Yin Lian pretended, but in fact she was not worried at all, because she knew that Li Laixi could not really want her jewelry, gold and silver, and these things would be returned soon.
It's just that you still have to pretend, and others can't see your true thoughts.
Two days passed after calling the police, but Yin Lian's belongings were still missing. If he went to the police station to urge her, the other party would make all kinds of mistakes. However, a young police officer from the police station gave her some tips after she made two trips, saying: "At the foot of the capital, the police station has piles of cases every day. It would be a big deal if Sir Alex's cat was lost. It doesn't matter if a few civilians die. Miss, if you want the higher-ups to take the case seriously, just find some connections with the police."
This is equivalent to a clear statement to Yin Lian.
In fact, if Yin Lian's money was really stolen by thieves, with the efficiency of the police, they would probably not be able to recover it. Even if he were to be recovered, he would probably only be a messy little head. If Yin Lian realizes it at this time, she should ask Li Laixi or his people for help, and then the other party kindly helps her solve the problem. By the way, she can educate her through actions how difficult it is for her to have no background in the capital. Then if Yin Lian is smart enough, It is logical to take the initiative to surrender, invite the other party to participate in the shares, and actively donate the majority of the profits.
Of course, Yin Lian could also ask Princess Lici for help, but she promised that it would be very easy for Princess Lici to let the police catch a thief on weekdays, but in this case, she would not be able to play any role.
Although she is also a member of the royal family and Princess Lici is just an ordinary princess with status but no real power, Li Laixi is in charge of the secret service under the prince, and her influence is not on the same level.
But Yin Lian had already figured out their tactics, and even deduced the cause and effect of the whole incident by investigating the methods used by the thieves. She felt that she couldn't accept the other party's arrangement like this.
Even if she wants to take advantage of the situation and start in this way, if she admits to being beholden to others, she will lose the initiative in cooperation and become Li Laixi's puppet. Secondly, if she falls into the trap easily, she will be underestimated. In the future, it will only become easier for others to take advantage of you, and it will be difficult for others to take you seriously.
In fact, the jewelry in the room looks expensive, but its value is not particularly high. There are some factors in it that are due to the gap in time and technological resources. They are mainly props used by Yin Lian to support the scene. She just performed along with the flow, but would not let these gadgets affect her next plan.
Li Laixi didn't pay special attention to her. He was just interested in the products and functions she described at that time. In addition, he felt that her identity was a bit suspicious, so he casually sent someone to monitor her and set up a trap for her to facilitate later control. After the results When looking at the information, he was a little shocked when he saw her information twice in a row.
After receiving the report from her subordinates for the second time, Zeng Erya still did not go to the person on the business card. Instead, she asked Li Lici to take her to meet some official wives and ladies. At the banquet, they talked about popular makeup and clothing abroad. . After trying to design new makeup for several famous ladies, she was warmly welcomed by the upper-class women in the capital and is currently discussing starting a women's newspaper.
Yin Lian said at the party: "There are many newspapers nowadays, but they are all men's newspapers. They talk about politics or economics, and none of them are suitable for ladies and ladies. I think we women should also have our own newspapers." Newspapers can tell about fashion, poetry and stories, and even ladies who are good at housekeeping and educating children can also tell some stories about parenting. Madams who are good at dressing up can tell some tips on etiquette... "
He also said: "The times are very different now. In the past, only the family knew whether a woman was virtuous or not. Sometimes a literati could write a virtuous woman with a pen, and the person involved would have a hard time explaining it. If not, People in this world are just that. If they are alive, those with a strong temper can only die to prove their innocence, and those with a tough temper can only endure the rumors and endure this life. The people in the world are much more ignorant and less knowledgeable. Most of them are filled with righteous indignation because of the rumors in the market. Who can get to the bottom of it and discover the truth?”
"The more this is the case, the more I think women should pick up their pens and be their own lips and tongues. If people die overnight, only articles will be passed down through the ages. In this case, everyone here is also a beauty in the world, why not also write on paper and ink Leave a touch of fragrance in between, so that people know that I have also walked through this world and lived a life that is enviable and longing for."
She even went over in turn and persuaded each lady one by one, saying: "Mrs. Li, your eldest son has outstanding talents and a gentle temperament. Miss Li is also elegant and filial, with exquisite orifices. There must be many people in Beijing who envy you. You If you can tell one or two interesting things about your time teaching your children in a newspaper, so that others can think and learn, wouldn’t it be a disguised form of cultivating pillars of the imperial court?”
Then he said to another woman: "Mrs. Zhu, your makeup is extremely exquisite, but if you only walk around in the deep house, you will only see a few dozen people. But if Shu Yu On paper, people can know that your beauty is far more than just appearance, it is also a kind of wisdom. When the time comes for people in Beijing to learn makeup, your every move will be a popular trend."
Many people were moved by what she said, but they still had a lot of hesitation and said, "But newspapers are not something that should be discarded after reading them?"
Yin Lian smiled and said: "If you don't like newspapers, you can also make them into pamphlets. But this is not the point - in fact, whether it is an article or a newspaper, the point is not the form of printing. For example, some Even if a vulgar picture book is printed into a book, many people will still throw it away after reading it, and some will even throw it away without finishing it. But if it is an article by a favorite author, even if it is printed in a newspaper, there are many It was people who were willing to cut out these articles and compile them into a volume.”
A lady said: "But we are all people with excellent writing skills, so we have many followers. If we write about family affairs, makeup and beauty, will anyone really read it? Who would be so boring as to buy such a newspaper? What do you think?"
Yin Lian said: "What Mrs. Xu said is wrong. The parents are short-sighted, and makeup and beauty can't be worldly knowledge? There is a poem that says: What you see on paper will eventually make you feel shallow, but you will definitely know that this matter must be practiced. You educate with your own hands What children themselves do is knowledge that cannot be obtained on paper. The ancients wrote family mottos and articles about educating their children. If they are well written, they can be passed down through the ages. How can education be said to be a boring thing for parents? And throughout the ages , which dynasty’s women didn’t wear makeup? Who in the world doesn’t wear clothes? Why can’t articles about food, clothing, housing, transportation, education and heirlooms be passed down through the ages?”
Many people were moved and asked what to do with the newspaper. Although Yin Lian had no experience in this area, since he was determined to open a publishing house when he came, the preparations must have been done properly, so he came with them one by one.
When Li Laixi saw this, he raised his brows slightly and had a complicated expression. However, as he continued to read, his expression became much more solemn.
The document said that Yin Lian contacted the director's wife by organizing many ladies and ladies to run a newspaper (magazine) together, and then contacted several other ladies. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, including Li Laixi. The lady who owned the phone number she gave them encouraged them to jointly fund a perfume workshop.
In the middle of the journey, Yin Lian also gave the police chief's wife and young lady a set of extremely exquisite jewelry, but she seemed to mean intentionally or unintentionally that this set of jewelry was not as good as the ones she had stolen. Unfortunately, the police still had no results. It's probably impossible to get it back.
The other party naturally asked about the specific situation. After knowing what happened, he went back to urge his husband to investigate the matter thoroughly. The director was overwhelmed by the urging of his wife and daughter at home, but he couldn't speak directly, so he could only deal with it for the time being.
After Li Laixi learned about this, he was silent for a while and then said: "Okay. Let someone return the things and give her an appropriate result. If she sets up a factory later, let Lao Wu go with his daughter Go explore the specific situation of the product and come back to make a detailed report."
Yin Lian's process of solving the problem can be said to be impressive. In Li Laixi's view, this girl had just taken over the family business. Although she knew the market, she had no experience in the actual situation. When she arrived in the capital, she neither knew how to manage relationships nor find a backer first.
The little policeman's advice was to enable her to identify her problem and take the initiative to get under Li Laixi's control. Unexpectedly, such a reminder suddenly enlightened her, and what she did in the end was even beyond Li Laixi's expectations.
Although the things were recovered, Yin Lian no longer stayed at the inn. She bought a house in Beijing, and although it was still being renovated, she had no intention of waiting any longer. Later, she bought a yard nearby and used it as the office of the publishing house. Instead of using traditional printing technology, she used a strange printing machine.
The perfume factory was not in the city, but a village provided by one of the noble ladies was used in the suburbs. There happened to be an orchard near Zhuangzi, so Yin Lian took the nearby materials and combined some flowers, herbs and medicinal materials to create a citrus-based perfume. The process took some time, but the final product turned out pretty good.
At this time, the use of incense and spices was the mainstream in the Xia Kingdom. There were aromatherapy products similar to perfume, but their properties were very different from those of later perfumes. The perfume made by Yin Lian was an eye-opener for them, and they were surprised that there is such a liquid spice that has such a strong fragrance but can last for a long time.
Many people still think that this so-called perfume is mostly made by grinding and blending various spices, or soaking and steaming fragrant flowers and plants.
Mr. Wu found an excuse and followed his wife and daughter all the way to Zhuangzi. He kept wiping his sweat all the way, making the coachman raise his head several times in confusion, thinking that the weather was not hot at all.
When he finally arrived at the place, he couldn't go in and look at the products with all the ladies, even though the atmosphere at this time was much more open than at the beginning of the court. Fortunately, knowing that he wanted to see the product, the servant specially sent out a bottle. The bottle was a porcelain bottle, using an existing bottle, and it looked ordinary. When Mr. Wu opened it, he felt a strong fragrance coming to his nostrils. His expression condensed and he suddenly sneezed.
