People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

Jinxiu took the bra and looked at it carefully. "Your Highness, can you please teach me how to wear this?"

"Okay, then let's go back to the room and I'll teach you. Hehehe, little lady, come on..."

Li Wenbin swallowed and pushed Jinxiu straight to her room.

As he walked, he did not forget to turn around and throw a coquettish glance at Wang Wanrong.

Back in the room, Jinxiu let Li Wenbin help her take off her top.

Li Wenbin was amazed at the sight - although the size of Jinxiu was not big, it had a good shape and did not sag at all.

In addition, her upper body proportions are excellent and her figure is very good.

"Your Highness..." Jinxiu felt a little embarrassed when Li Wenbin looked at her, and said coquettishly.

"Oh, let's get down to business, get down to business." Li Wenbin couldn't help but rub it first.

Only when Jinxiu was panting and her pretty face flushed did he muster up all his strength to look away and then help her put on her bra.

This thing wasn't that difficult to put on. After just a few gestures, Jinxiu knew how to put it on.

Li Wenbin helped her adjust the length of the strap, then clapped his hands: "Okay, let's see how it works?"

Jinxiu twisted her body, feeling the strange sensation for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems, it seems that this thing can support it..."

Chapter 145 Economic Crisis

"Yes, this bra has a support function, which can prevent sagging. Just imagine, if it sags all the way to your belly button, how ugly it would be?"

Jinxiu chuckled, but also felt that Li Wenbin was right.

"Also, I can gather the flesh under your ribs to the center, making you appear larger."

As he spoke, Li Wenbin pushed her in front of the mirror and asked her to see the effect for herself.

"Oh, it's true!" Jinxiu saw herself in the mirror and found that she had indeed grown bigger and looked very tall. She looked much more beautiful than before and was immediately very surprised.

"If you feel it's not big enough, you can make these two places thicker."

As he spoke, Li Wenbin gestured and took advantage of the situation.

Jinxiu didn't care about his taking advantage of her. Instead, she leaned closer to him, hugged his arm and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you are really amazing. How do you know so much?"

To put it bluntly, this thing doesn't require any technical skills, and an experienced person can understand how to make it at a glance.

But the difficulty lies in whether anyone can think of it.

"Who told me to do this for my little darling?" Holding Jinxiu in his arms, Li Wenbin stroked her smooth and delicate shoulders and said in her ear.

……

Li Wenbin found a lounge chair and placed it under the wooden corridor. He placed a low table next to it and put a pot of wine on it. He took a sip from time to time, enjoying the rare quietness. It was simply indescribably comfortable.

Until Wang Wanrong appeared and broke the silence.

The first time he passed by Li Wenbin, he didn’t pay any attention;

The second time, the third time, and until the fourth time, when Wang Wanrong passed by Li Wenbin without saying a word, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Miss Wanrong, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

He had already realized that Wang Wanrong had something to say to him, but she just couldn't say it out of face.

Wang Wanrong was silent for a moment, then said, "You asked me to say this."

"Yes, I asked you to tell me. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that someone will attack me tonight."

Wang Wanrong blushed, but she bit her lip and asked, "What exactly did you prepare for Ruyue and Li Wenbin? Is it something that women can wear?"

"Oh? Miss Wanrong, you saw it at a glance?" Li Wenbin was a little surprised.

"I didn't see it, I was just guessing. There's nothing else that could make Weiyang feel embarrassed."

Well, that's why.

Li Wenbin did not hide it and nodded, "You guessed it right. It is indeed a kind of underwear for women. It can make your breasts look bigger and prevent them from sagging."

Wang Wanrong lowered her eyelids and after a long while, she said, "Is it really effective?"

"Of course, I just use something to support your breasts..." Li Wenbin said, pointing at Wang Wanrong's chest and making gestures.

Wang Wanrong's pretty face suddenly turned red, but she suppressed her shyness and listened carefully.

Obviously, she came here to devote herself, but she was always shy, which made Li Wenbin think it was very interesting to tease her.

Maybe this is what she meant, a clean slate?

After listening to Li Wenbin's explanation, Wang Wanrong hesitated for a while before stammering:

"Then, can you, can you... help me make... make one of those things?"

"That's no problem, but I need to know your exact size, Miss Wang Wanrong, before I can make it."

Li Wenbin pointed at Wang Wanrong's chest mischievously with a wicked smile on his face.

He thought that this girl would be hesitant for a long time like last time, but unexpectedly, this time she only hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

After looking around and finding no one there, Li Wenbin pulled Wang Wanrong into the room.

"Miss Wanrong, I'm here, I'm really here?" Li Wenbin said tentatively, then put his hand on her shoulder.

Wang Wanrong closed her eyes tightly, and nodded as if she had mustered up her courage.

Li Wenbin slowly undressed her, revealing the moon-white undergarment underneath.

After taking off the undergarment, there is only a bra made of thick white cloth.

When Li Wenbin helped her unhook her bra, he was shocked.

You really can't tell, this girl looks ordinary, but she is actually very attractive.

Wang Wanrong secretly opened her eyes and saw that Li Wenbin’s eyes seemed to be popping out. She immediately closed her eyes shyly and dared not look at him again.

"You, you, you...have you seen enough?" There was a hint of tears in her voice.

"Oh, let's start measuring the size now. Let's start now."

Under his caress, Wang Wanrong's originally fair skin gradually turned a layer of rouge red, just like her face.

"Your Highness, are you not feeling well yet?" Wang Wanrong asked in a voice as sweet as a song or a tear.

"Yeah...it's almost there, almost there, just hold on a little longer. We must get a detailed data, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable for you to wear it."

She sighed and closed her eyes resignedly.

……

Li Wenbin's good days did not last long. A few days later, Jinxiu came to him with the account book.

"No way! I'm going bankrupt and become a pauper." Looking at the shocking figures on the account, Li Wenbin felt very unbelievable.

"There's no other way, Your Highness. You have to support a large family and an army. It's a very good result that you can hold on until now." Jinxiu sighed and said.

Li Wenbin thought about it and realized that it was true.

Not to mention anything else, the five hundred young soldiers and nearly a thousand guards of the royal palace he supported were a huge expense.

You have to know that these people are not soldiers with permanent land. Their training, food, weapons, equipment, and all the expenses have to be provided by Li Wenbin.

Moreover, these more than a thousand people are almost all cavalry, which is an astronomical number.

If it weren't for the income from several workshops, Li Wenbin would have collapsed long ago, and this palace would have been sold.

More importantly, although he was a prince, he had no fiefdom - Li Yuan only conferred him the title of King of Qi but did not mention the fiefdom.

Originally, Li Wenbin didn't care too much, but after losing the dividends from his fiefdom, he understood the insidious nature of that old man.

Humph, you ignore me now, but you won’t be able to reach me in the future!

Just wait, you will regret it sooner or later.

"Your Highness, please think of a solution quickly." Jinxiu shook Li Wenbin's arm, interrupting his wild thoughts.

"Hey, this is easy, isn't it just about making money?"

Making money may be difficult for others, but for Li Wenbin, it is just a matter of thinking.

Chapter 146: Pocket Money for You

"Ruyue, ask someone to bring up another serving of ice cream." Li Wenbin thought of a way to make money, but did not say it directly. Instead, he instructed Ruyue.

"Your Highness, you're still in the mood to eat ice cream in this situation?" Jinxiu said, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face. However, the girl immediately called out to Ruyue, who had not yet walked far away, "I want double the serving!"

"Okay, stop pouting. You're already so angry." Li Wenbin said with a smile, "You're already such a grown-up, but you're still being petty with me? It's just about making money. I've got a way!"

"Really?" Jinxiu jumped up happily when she heard it. She had full faith in the talent of the listening text, otherwise how could she make something like cement?

"Your Highness, please tell us how you make money?" Ruyue also stood up excitedly and asked with great anticipation.

"Do you remember the little trick I taught you before lunch today?" Li Wenbin asked as he sat down, picked up the fruit and took a bite.

"I remember, isn't it the one that makes ice with saltpeter..." Jinxiu answered with a puzzled look on her face at first, but halfway through her words, she suddenly became happy and shouted excitedly, "Ah! I understand, Your Majesty, you want us to sell ice?"

After hearing her words, Ruyue also understood.

Summer is coming soon, and ice, used to cool off, has always been a very precious item. Even Li Yuan often used ice to reward his ministers.

Even for princes and ministers, the amount of ice they could use on a daily basis was limited, and not much. Generally, they only used it for food and to cool down when the weather was particularly hot, and once it was used up, there would be no more.

If ice was made from saltpeter and sold at this time, it would surely attract countless people to buy it. After all, except for a few wealthy nobles, few families could afford to dig a huge ice cellar to store ice.

However, Jinxiu was happy for a short while, and immediately thought of a problem, so she asked: "Prince, your idea is good, but this saltpeter ice cannot be eaten, otherwise it will definitely cause diarrhea."

"Stupid girl, can't you ask someone to design a sandwich container, put saltpeter and water in the sandwich for cooling, put some clean water inside, and then just use the ice inside?" Li Wenbin patted her head and scolded her.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it? Your Majesty is really smart!" Although she was hit on the head, Jinxiu still had a smiling expression on her face.

"In addition, there is another advantage of using saltpeter to make ice. After the saltpeter is used, it can be dried and reused repeatedly, so the cost is extremely low. When the time comes, we can set a price that most people can accept, and everyone will definitely flock to it."

Li Wenbin had already thought of the cold drink shops of later generations. If one could appear in the Tang Dynasty, the business would surely be booming.

At this time, Ruyue had brought the ice cream, and there were double portions for all three of them.

Li Wenbin took a few bites and stopped to say, "My plan is to have you open a cold drink shop, selling cold drinks like ice cream. There can be many different styles. I believe that once it is launched, it will definitely attract a lot of people to taste it."

"Your Highness, if we open a store, we won't have anyone." Jinxiu suddenly thought of a key issue.

"It's okay. Tell Wanrong about this and ask her to help you find someone. At worst, you can just consider it as a partnership with the Wang family." Li Wenbin said with a smile, "How about this, consider it as your business. You three can keep half of the money you earn and buy something you like. Just consider it as pocket money I give you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although they didn't know how much money they could make in the future, they were sure it would be a lot. The three girls were overjoyed when they heard this.

Then the three girls put their heads together and discussed how much each of them could contribute.

The matter of opening a cold drink shop was thus decided. Next, Wang Wanrong went back to discuss it with her father Wang Hexuan, and it was quickly done.

In just a few days, a cold drink shop opened in Xishi.

The reason why the cold drink shop was opened in Xishi was because it was close to the imperial city and the surrounding areas were mostly residences of royal nobles and dignitaries.

For example, Li Wenbin’s palace is not far from Xishi. It is for this reason that Xishi mainly deals in luxury goods.

Although the price of cold drinks is not high, it is relatively speaking not affordable for ordinary people, so they can have a larger market in the West Market.

Perhaps influenced by Li Wenbin, Wang Wanrong is well aware of the importance of advertising.

Before the cold drink shop opened, she had already had someone set up a stall in front of the shop and distributed cold drinks to passers-by for free in a fixed amount every day.

In the Tang Dynasty at that time, even ice was a rare and precious item, not to mention the delicious cold drinks.

So within just a few days, almost everyone knew that a cold drink shop was about to open in Xishi, and the prices were very cheap.

Although not everyone can afford it, at least those with a better-off family background can come and eat it occasionally.

Precisely because of its fame, the entire cold drink shop was almost packed when it opened today.

Fortunately, ice cream does not have to be eaten in the store. Li Wenbin has taught Wang Wanrong how to make egg rolls. All you have to do is put the ice cream on the egg rolls and then eat it while walking.

There are many windows on the walls around the cold drink shop, which specialize in selling this kind of egg roll ice cream. There is a group of people gathered in front of each window, and the shop is also crowded.

But the order is still pretty good. After all, everyone knows that the backers behind this store are extremely powerful. Who would be so blind as to cause trouble here?

This was the situation Li Wenbin saw when he brought Ruyue and Jinxiu here.
