Chapter 158: The Opening of the Glass Pavilion (1)
Lin Xuan walked around Liulice and went to Huimin Medical Center.
Seeing that everything was normal in the medical clinic, Lin Xuan came to the fire kiln outside Chang'an City.
Xu Guangfu was working in the kiln when he heard Lin Xuan coming and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Young man, I've met the Marquis!"
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "How are those people doing? Do they follow your arrangements?"
The people Li Shimin arranged to come were all in Huangzhuang before, and Lin Xuan was worried that Xu Guangfu would not be able to suppress them.
"Master Hou, those people are quite honest. I told them about their wages. They worked hard." Xu Guangfu said.
Lin Xuan nodded, because the furnace was dusty and the work was relatively difficult, so the wages he paid were relatively high.
"You ask them to hurry up and bake them. Each set of cups and bowls must be designed differently. In addition to these, you can also bake some statues of horses, flowers, birds, fish and insects, all in different shapes." Lin Xuan
said.
Glass products are very fragile. For those wealthy families, money is not an issue. Face is the most important thing.
As long as one is broken and they can't buy matching ones, they can only buy a new one.
Lin Xuan plans to stock up on glass products for half a month and open the business in half a month.
…
Duke Su's Mansion
"Erlang, this is the invitation sent by the Marquis of Jingyang."
Cheng Fu, the housekeeper of the Cheng family, handed an invitation to Cheng Chuliang's hand.
Cheng Chuliang opened the invitation and looked at it curiously, and said, "Liu Li Pavilion? What does this do? Uncle Fu, do you know?"
Cheng Fu thought for a while and said, "I've never heard of this Liuli Pavilion old slave, but judging from the name, it should be related to Liuli."
"Is it related to colored glaze? But colored glaze is rare, so it's impossible to open a store specializing in colored glaze, right?" Cheng Chuliang had only met Lin Xuan once, and didn't know Lin Xuan well, so he was a little unsure of what he wanted to do.
"Erlang, I heard that Marquis Jingyang opened a medical clinic in the West City. Is it related to this medical clinic?" Cheng Fu thought for a moment and said.
Cheng Chuliang shook his head and said: "I know about this, but the medical clinic is in the West City, but the Liulic Pavilion is in the East City. There should be no relationship between the two."
Although Cheng Chuliang doesn't like to use his brain, it doesn't mean that he has no brain.
Cheng Chuliang touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "I heard from my brother that Lin Xuan is very unpredictable in what he does. I can't guess what he wants to do, but I'll know when the time comes."
East Palace
Although Li Chengqian is the governor of Chang'an, he still needs to read some memorials.
Of course, he did not have the right to comment on these memorials. He could only read them and write down his opinions.
Let the teachers at the East Palace give him reviews.
Li Chengqian was watching the memorial when a chamberlain ran in, saluted and said, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Jingyang County has sent an invitation."
Li Chengqian put down the memorial and said, "Oh, please submit it!"
After reading the contents of the invitation, Li Chengqian was a little surprised.
He thought that Lin Xuan invited him for something important, but he didn't expect that it was the opening of a store.
If someone else had sent such an invitation, he wouldn't have gone at all.
But when Lin Xuan sent it, he decided to go without even thinking about it.
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "Here, I'm going to Changle Palace."
…
Changle Palace
Li Lizhi is sewing clothes. As a princess, she needs to learn etiquette and female virtues every day. She rarely has free time, so she wants to make this dress as soon as possible.
"Hey, Li Zhi, are you making clothes?"
Li Chengqian walked in directly without being informed.
He has a very good relationship with Li Lizhi. He has been to Changle Palace countless times and the maids are used to it.
Of course, if it was inconvenient, they would definitely stop Li Chengqian.
"Ah, Brother Prince, why are you here?" Li Lizhi hid her clothes behind her in a panic.
"Stop hiding it, are you doing it for Lin Xuan?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Lizhi blushed instantly and quickly denied: "How could it be possible? I did this for the prince's brother."
"Made for Gu? Then why did you hide it when you saw Gu?" Li Chengqian said directly.
Li Lizhi said coyly: "I...I don't want to give you a surprise!"
How could she have the nerve to admit that the clothes were made for Lin Xuan?
"Okay, now I know it, show me your clothes." Li Chengqian said.
Li Lizhi said delicately and cautiously: "Brother Prince, you are so annoying."
Li Chengqian's figure was very different from Lin Xuan's. If he showed it to Li Chengqian, he could tell at a glance that it was not made for him.
"Haha, I'm not kidding you anymore, I've got good news to tell you today." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Lizhi asked curiously: "Brother Prince, what good news do you want to tell me?"
Li Chengqian took out the invitation and handed it over, saying: "Lin Xuan has opened a new Liulice restaurant. It will open in three days. I am going to take you to see it together."
Li Lizhi was very moved, but she often studied women's virtues and the teachings of Empress Changsun made her very hesitant.
"Brother Prince, it's not good for me to go!" Li Lizhi said.
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Lin Xuan invited Gu to open his business, and what's wrong with Gu taking his sister with him? If you go to the Queen Mother, don't mention Lin Xuan, just say that Gu wants to take you out for a walk, and the Queen Mother will definitely agree."
It's really not good to meet alone in private, but if they go to congratulate someone for opening their business, that's fine.
"Okay, I'll beg my mother soon!" Li Lizhi said.
…
"Your Highness, I have heard that Lin Xuan will open a shop in three days, and the prince will also go there. At that time, your highness will also go to congratulate you. You can find opportunities to win over Lin Xuan. Even if you fail to win over, you can also alienate the relationship between him and the prince."
Korean said.
Li Tai asked a little strangely: "How did you know that the prince would go?"
Han Wen explained: "The news came from the insider installed in the East Palace. Lin Xuan sent someone to send an invitation to the prince. With the relationship between the prince and Lin Xuan, he will definitely go."
"boom!"
Li Tai angrily threw the teacup out of his hand and cursed: "Lin Xuan invited the prince instead of me. He didn't take me seriously at all. Why did I rush to congratulate him myself?"
Li Tai has always thought highly of himself and does not think he is worse than Li Chengqian.
Lin Xuan just helped Li Chengqian, but he didn't even give him an invitation.
Han Wen shook his head, Li Tai's character was too difficult to help.
Although he is usually courteous to the corporal, he is very mean-spirited behind the scenes.
However, it is precisely because of Li Tai's character that the family found it easy to control, so they chose to support him.
"Your Highness, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. As long as Your Highness becomes the crown prince, won't Lin Xuan be able to deal with it as he pleases?" Han Wen advised.
Li Tai nodded and said: "I understand that if his shop opens, I will go there."
…
Lin Xuan had no idea that such a big thing had happened because of his invitation.
He lay on the rocking chair, basking in the sun, thinking about it in his mind, and felt relieved when he found that there was no one he had left out.
He sent invitations to all those who had a good relationship with him. Whether they came or not was one thing. But he couldn't leave anyone out.
If you promote it in the next two days, and add those exquisite colored glazes, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Lin Xuan looked at the sky and asked Chunyue to ask someone to bring all the peppers into the house.
It has been half a month since the peppers were planted, and the pepper seedlings have already sprouted out of the ground.
Lin Xuan checked it and found that it was growing well, so he felt relieved.
In the evening, under the service of Chunyue and Yuhe, Lin Xuan took a wonderful bath and went to bed.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan got up early and completed his daily tasks. After breakfast, Lin Xuan went to Liuli Pavilion.
When Li Fuzhu saw Lin Xuan coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young man, I have met the Marquis!"
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "How are you preparing? We will open in two days, so we must not make any mistakes then."
Li Fuzhu said quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, there will be no problem at all."
"Well, then you should be busy, I'll go shopping." Lin Xuan said.
The floor of Liuli Pavilion was covered with Persian carpets exactly as Lin Xuan said.
Every corner of the store is filled with candle racks, illuminating the entire store very brightly.
Lin Xuan turned around and felt something was wrong.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Xuan called Li Fuzhu over.
"Forget about the cups and bowls on the first floor, let me light two candles beside all the ornaments on the second and third floors!" Lin Xuan said.
Li Fuzhu was stunned and said, "Master Hou, if you place candles next to the glass, will it burn the glass?"
"It's impossible for candles to burn the glass, but in order not to affect the beauty of the glass, you can keep some distance," Lin Xuan said.
Although the candle cannot burn the glass, it will burn the glass black.
"In this case, those shelves need to be replaced with new ones." Li Fuzhu said.
"Replace, replace them all. If there are no ready-made ones, let others do it, and then replace them after they are ready." Lin Xuan said.
"yes!"
Persian carpets are laid out, how much are a few shelves worth?
