Stir up a pool of spring water

The business of stringing beads is making steady income, but Long Xi doesn't care about such a small amount of money, and starts to do real jewelry business.

There are two difficulties in doing this piece, one is the purchasing channels of raw materials, and the other is that it is difficult to find skilled jewelry craftsmen.The so-called jade cannot be made into a tool, no matter how good the quality of the gemstone is, if there is no skilled craftsman to carve it, it can only be a piece of rough jade, not a beautiful jade.

In terms of raw materials, she did know some people before, but they were far away from Chang'an, so she needed to find other purchase channels.As for jewelry craftsmen, it is even more difficult to find.Masters with good craftsmanship have long been poached by major merchants, and it will take a lot of work to invite them over.

But this business still has to go on, because it is a profitable business, and many people are staring at it.

The reason why Long Xi dares to take the risk to do this is because she is confident in her own eyes. She has a lot of research on gemstones and has her own aesthetic standards, so it is easy to break into the circle of noble ladies.

After several months of busy work, I finally got these things done, determined the purchase channel, and found a master craftsman to sit in charge. The next step is to design the style diagram of the jewelry, and then start the production.

Her jewelry business plans to be made into three levels, low-end, mid-end, and high-end, to meet the needs of different groups of people.The master craftsman is only responsible for the mid-end style proofing and high-end customization. As for the low-end ones, after the bottom view is drawn, she can take them outside to ask someone to process them in batches. The cost is not high, and the price can be sold.

However, after everything slowly got on track, trouble came.

When I was in the bead string business before, I made a small fuss and didn't attract much attention.But now it's getting involved in the real jewelry industry, which is a huge profiteering industry with such a large market value, Long Xiheng stepped in and virtually lost a part of the market share.In this way, merchants who rely on this to make money will not be happy.

Generally, those who dare to start jewelry business have very strong financial resources and extensive connections. Long Xi has just arrived and has not laid a solid foundation. If he really wants to fight recklessly, he cannot beat these people.But she didn't intend to fight recklessly, she tried to avoid the limelight if she could, but she had to bite the bullet if she really couldn't avoid it.

She was able to develop the Hong Tian Gang to such a large size after Hong Lezhi's death before, naturally there were many means.

After coming and going, Longxi's jewelry shop gradually became famous in Chang'an, but at the same time, it also hindered the eyes of more people.

Those who really do big business are basically ruthless people.Although Long Xi is a rare beauty, they still like money more than money.

So the big boss started to hire someone to find Long Xi's troubles.

It's not like the old rascals who charged some protection fees, and directly asked someone to smash the store, and even severely injured the clerk who looked after the store, and even sneaked into Longxi's courtyard to destroy her.

That night, Long Xi encountered such a thing.

A group of people, all of whom seemed to know martial arts, broke into the door directly, and put a long sharp knife on Long Xi's neck.

The leader warned in a vicious voice: "Our boss advises you to be careful, and don't get in the way of people's money when you go out, otherwise there will be some accidents one day, and you can't be sure."

Long Xi actually had a lot of hidden weapons and weapons hidden in her body, and she was not afraid of those people, but she wanted to find out who was so arrogant, so the thugs were sent directly to her home.

But this group of people seemed to be very cautious tonight, no matter what Long Xi asked, the tone was very tight.Instead, after Long Xi asked too many questions, those people became impatient and wanted to slap Long Xi with a slap.

With the big knife on his neck, Long Xi couldn't dodge it, he was about to be slapped.

But at this time, a small stone flew over at an extremely fast speed, and directly knocked the knife on Long Xi's neck into the air, and then another stone fell on the head of the person who wanted to hit Long Xi, and touched his acupuncture points , making him unable to move.

In the next moment, dozens of stones were shot out at the same time, and those thugs were caught off guard and all hit the acupuncture points and stood in place.

When the crisis was resolved, Long Xi looked towards the direction where the stone was shot, and saw a tall figure standing in the shadows, with his back to her, not too light on him.

Long Xi asked coldly: "Han Jinli, is that you?"

Doing the math, it has been almost half a year since she left the palace, plus the half year when Han Jinli cheated on her death, except for the two meeting in the Zichen Palace halfway, they have not met for a whole year.

To be honest, it is false not to miss, but she also has her own persistence.Many times, love is not everything in life.If this love violates her principles and violates her bottom line, then she would rather not have it.

The figure stood still in the darkness, and after a while, a sentence came: "Are you only thinking of Han Jinli?"

Upon hearing this voice, Long Xi knew who it was, and asked in surprise, "Feng Qi?"

The figure came out of the darkness step by step, walked up to Long Xi, and said softly to her, "Long time no see."

Long Xi smiled slightly, "Long time no see."

Feng Qi: "I heard that you gave up Han Jinli?"

Long Xi: "...Yes, let me show you a joke."

Feng Qi sighed and murmured in a low voice, "Then should I fight for myself again?"

Long Xi also heard her whisper, but didn't say anything.Feng Qi understands her character, and knows that she is the kind of person who says nothing and is straightforward. Since she rejected it once before, she will never accept it again.

It was also because she knew this very well, so Feng Qi didn't say much.

The two stood in the darkness for a while, Long Xi smiled and said: "You help me throw out this courtyard full of people first, let's catch up on the old days."

Feng Qi nodded, and threw all those thugs out of the courtyard wall neatly. She even ordered the Ya point, and she couldn't even hear the wailing.

After dealing with those who are in the way, it is finally clean.

When the two entered the house, Hong Momo had already fallen asleep, and Xiao Hongzao went to follow up on the source of goods, and was not at home these days.

Light a piece of sandalwood, and the two sit facing each other, drinking tea slowly.

"I came this time to invite you to attend my succession ceremony." Feng Qi said, "I will ascend the throne on the [-]st of next month."

"Ah, so fast..." Long Xi was a little surprised. The current emperor of Qingfeng Kingdom is Feng Qi's father. I heard that he is in good health. Why did Feng Qi succeed him so quickly?

Feng Qi said lightly: "Father intends to resign from office and travel around the world. As a man and child, I have no choice but to take up this burden."

"Then I'm going to attend the ceremony, do I need to prepare anything?" Long Xi was a little at a loss, "It's the first time for me to attend someone else's enthronement ceremony, this kind of opportunity is too rare."

"You don't need to make any preparations. You'll be fine when you arrive. I'm here to pick you up today. It's about half a month's journey from here to my Qingfeng King's Capital. Time is a bit tight. If you're free, go, if you're not." It doesn't matter."

Feng Qi said this calmly, but how could Long Xi not understand her thoughts.This guy looks arrogant and arrogant on the surface, but in fact he has a delicate and sensitive mind.It takes half a month to go from Chang'an to King Qingfeng, and it also takes half a month to go from Qingfeng Kingdom to Chang'an.Feng Qi's succession is imminent, but he spared no effort and spent half a month looking for her in person. He must also hope that she can attend her succession ceremony.

That being the case, no matter how busy you are, you must definitely go to participate, otherwise you will not have enough friends.

So Long Xi said bluntly: "Of course I'm going, and I'll give you a big gift. I'm in the jewelry business now, and I'll have someone make a set of jewelry for you tomorrow, and when it's finished, I'll have someone give it to you as soon as possible." Send it over. But it may not be in time for your grand ceremony, but you can wear it in the future."

Feng Qi's expression was calm, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he was obviously very happy.Ask Long Xi: "Then when will you come with me?"

"Three days later, okay? I have something to explain here."

"Okay, then three days later."

Feng Qi stretched his waist, "I'm exhausted from rushing all this way, do you have a guest room here? Give me a rest overnight."

"There is no guest room, our yard is too small. But Xiaohongzao is not at home these few days, you go to sleep on her bed."

As Long Xi said, he went to change a new quilt for her.

Feng Qi walked in, and suddenly said, "Should I also invite Han Jinli? She is also the Holy Master of Xuanyuan Kingdom."

Long Xi's movements froze for a moment, and he replied after a while: "If you need an invitation, please invite me. I don't understand national etiquette or anything. There's no need to be concerned because of me, I have nothing to do with her anymore. "

Feng Qi pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, then I'll send someone to give her an invitation."

Long Xi didn't say anything, after making the bed, he let her have a good rest and left.

When she returned to her bedroom, she sighed softly, unable to figure out how things would slowly develop to such a point, that she and Han Jinli were going to be strangers.

It's not that he never thought of forgiving her, the two lived a good life, after all, Han Jinli's affection for her was not fake.

But there are some things that are not meant to be forgiven if they can be forgiven. With so many lives lost, she cannot remain indifferent.

Lie on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

Unexpectedly, after she fell asleep, Feng Qi got up again, put on his coat and went directly to the yard, and said coldly: "Come out, I know someone is watching."

Qing Yi appeared and saluted Feng Qi, "I've seen the eldest princess."

Feng Qi: "Go back and tell your master to let her come to my succession ceremony. In addition, let her quickly find a way to coax her back, and let her be bullied outside every day. She doesn't feel sorry for me."

Qingyi said respectfully: "I will truthfully bring the original words to the Lord."

Feng Qi: "By the way, I might beat her up the next time we meet, so she won't resist."

Qingyi: "..."

Backed away silently, otherwise what else can I say?

After sending the people away, Feng Qi quietly entered Long Xi's room, did not do anything, just stood by and watched quietly.After a while, he reached out and stroked the scar on her face.

"Silly girl, wasn't she the most beautiful before? How uncomfortable is such a scar on your face?"
