Chapter 159: Opening of the Glass Pavilion

In a blink of an eye, it’s time for Liuli Pavilion to open.

Lin Xuan got up in the morning, completed his daily training, had breakfast, and came to Liuli Pavilion.

Because of the publicity in the past two days, the whole of Chang'an knew that a store specializing in colored glaze was going to open today.

When Lin Xuan arrived, many people were already gathered in front of the store.

Li Fuzhu was at the door directing people to lay a red carpet at the door of the store. Red silk and satin were hung on both sides of the door, which looked very festive.

The plaque has been hung up and is being covered with red cloth. It will be officially opened after a while when it is unveiled.

"Not bad!" Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

"This is what a young person should do." Li Fuzhu said with a smile.

He used to manage the farm, and by doing some small things, he could earn a few bucks a month.

And in Liulice, Lin Xuan gave him a salary of ten guan per month, how could he not worry about it?

Moreover, Liuli Pavilion sells all Liuli. As the shopkeeper of Liuli Pavilion, he is very dignified.

"You keep busy, I'll go inside and take a look." Lin Xuan said.

The first floor was not much different from the one he visited two days ago. He went directly to the second floor.

There were some small ornaments placed on the second floor. Li Fuzhu lit two candles next to each ornament according to Lin Xuan's request.

Ornaments made of glass emit a charming light under the candlelight.

Lin Xuan walked around on the third floor again and found no problems, so he came downstairs and waited for the guests to arrive.

When Li Fuzhu saw Lin Xuan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "The Marquis, Duke Yi, Duke E, Duke Dai and Duke Langya sent the steward to deliver congratulatory gifts, and then went back."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Xuan said.

The opening of the business is not a big deal, so Qin Qiong and the others will certainly not be able to come over.

Being able to send a butler to send a congratulatory gift is already a great honor to Lin Xuan.

At this moment, Lin Xuan saw Cheng Chuliang approaching, and Lin Xuan quickly greeted him.

"Brother Lin, congratulations!" Cheng Chuliang said with a smile, and then asked Wanwan to send a congratulatory gift.

"Thank you! Chu Liang, please come in!" Lin Xuan thanked him and asked people to accept the gift.

Just as Lin Xuan was about to take Cheng Chuliang in for a look, Li Fuzhu ran over and said, "Master Marquis, the Crown Prince is here!"

Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang quickly turned around and went to greet Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian did not show off his ceremony, but came in casual clothes.

"My lord, see His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang saluted.

Li Chengqian said quickly: "No courtesy!"

"Your Highness, please come inside!"

Lin Xuan did not expect that Li Chengqian would come in person.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Wait a minute, Gu brought someone else this time."

Lin Xuan looked around with some confusion. Except for some guards, there was no one else.

"Come out beauties." Li Chengqian turned his head and said to the carriage.

Lin Xuan was stunned, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to bring Li Lizhi over.

Li Lizhi opened the curtain and got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

Li Lizhi did not wear a palace skirt, but a very simple skirt.

"My lord, please see Your Highness the Princess!"

Li Lizhi said softly: "No gifts!"

Lin Xuan straightened up and looked at Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi was dressed in a colorful palace dress with dark flowers and brocade, and with light makeup on her face, she looked very beautiful.

Li Lizhi felt a little embarrassed when Lin Xuan looked at her, and lowered her head with a blushing face.

"Cough cough cough!" Li Chengqian coughed lightly.

Lin Xuan came to his senses and said: "Your Highness, Princess, please come inside!"

"I heard that your Liulic Pavilion specializes in colored glaze. I wonder if it's true or not?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

As a prince, he didn't even have a few glass products, but Lin Xuan actually opened a shop specializing in glass, which he found very incredible.

Cheng Chuliang and Li Lizhi also looked at Lin Xuan, waiting for his answer.

"Your Highness, it is indeed true."

Lin Xuan didn't expect that Li Shimin did such a good job of keeping secrets that Li Chengqian didn't even know about it.

"Although colored glaze is precious, there are many Lords of Chang'an, and those aristocratic families can all afford it. Do you have that much colored glaze?" Li Chengqian said.

He was worried that Lin Xuan had too few colored glazes and it would be embarrassing if they sold out soon after opening.

"Your Highness will know as soon as you go in and take a look." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

He had thought about this problem for a long time, and he only waited half a month before opening the business, although the quantity was affected by the firing of some large pieces.

But now there are thousands of pieces of colored glaze, and with the daily output of more than a dozen furnaces, it is completely enough.

Seeing Lin Xuan's confident look, Li Chengqian said nothing and walked in under the leadership of Lin Xuan.

"The one who just entered seems to be His Royal Highness." A young man recognized Li Chengqian and said to his companions.

His companion nodded and said, "Yes, it's His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness is here. It seems that it is true that this shop sells colored glaze. I will definitely buy one back soon." The young man said excitedly.

When Liulice opened, it attracted people from well-off families.

They all want to come and see if it is real or fake. If it is real, they don't mind buying one back.

Although ordinary people also knew the news, no one came over.

They can't afford it anyway, and if they get damaged, they won't be able to afford the compensation if they sell them. They won't come over to watch the fun unless their heads are wet.



"You have so much colored glaze?" Li Chengqian looked at the colored glaze on the shelf and was a little surprised.

Cheng Chuliang and Li Lizhi also looked shocked!

A rough estimate is that there are at least one or two hundred pieces of colored glaze on the shelf.

According to Li Chengqian's understanding, even his father's treasure house does not have that much.

"Your Highness, because I have mastered the method of making colored glaze." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Li Chengqian and the other three were stunned by the news.

"Your Highness, Princess, let's go up and have a look."

Lin Xuan originally wanted to tell them that what was displayed here was only part of it, but when he saw their looks, he gave up the idea.

"Is there any more upstairs?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.

He originally thought these were all, but he didn't expect there were more.

Lin Xuan nodded and said: "There are them on the second and third floors."

Li Chengqian and the others calculated in their minds that there were one or two hundred items on the first floor, and the three floors together must have at least four or five hundred items.

How much are four to five hundred pieces of colored glaze worth?

Lin Xuan looked at their appearance and roughly guessed what they were thinking, and said: "There are a lot less upstairs than downstairs, not much."

When Li Chengqian and the others saw the colored glazes placed on the second floor, they all looked at Lin Xuan speechlessly.

"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like this? The second floor is indeed much smaller than the first floor." Lin Xuan said.

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, yes, the second floor is not as large as the first floor.

But the first floor is full of cups and bowls. How can it be compared with the ornaments on the second floor?

There are only about thirty pieces of ornaments on the second floor, each one about the size of a football.

In addition to flowers, birds, fish and insects, there are also some common animals and the twelve zodiac animals.

These ornaments, illuminated by candlelight, are very eye-catching.

Li Chengqian and the three people gathered around and looked at it carefully.

No matter which one they looked at, they felt they particularly liked it.

But they can only look at it. Even if it is a glass cup, they probably can't afford it.

Although Li Chengqian is the prince, the monthly expenses of the East Palace are not much.

After excluding some necessary expenses, Li Chengqian didn't have much money left at all.

Although Li Lizhi rarely spent money, most of her expenses were given to Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and they didn't have much money.

Not to mention Cheng Chuliang, if Lin Xuan hadn't cooperated with his family in making wine, the family wouldn't even have the money to buy a property for him.

Although the family now has a lot of money, if he dares to buy colored glaze back, Cheng Yaojin may break his legs.

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "There are still some on the third floor. Let's go up to the third floor and take a look. That's all these things are. If you like them, I will give some to you each when you leave."

The two of them didn't say anything, but Li Lizhi and Lin Xuan were going to give it away anyway.

"How can I keep such an expensive thing?" Li Chengqian said.

Cheng Chuliang also echoed: "It's just that it's too expensive. I'm really embarrassed to take it."

"Thank you so much for the kindness of the Marquis of Jingyang County, I can't take it either." Li Lizhi lowered her head and whispered.

Lin Xuan looked at Li Li and asked: "Princess and I, do you still have to be polite?"

This was his future wife, just a few things made of glass, and he didn't care at all.

Li Lizhi was a little flustered, glanced at Lin Xuan secretly, and whispered: "I listen to the Marquis of Jingyang County."

Cheng Chuliang gave Lin Xuan a thumbs up without Li Chengqian paying attention.

He also had an engagement with Princess Qinghe, but he didn't have the guts to talk to Princess Qinghe like this.

"Okay, I'll take you to the third floor to have a look, and then go down to unveil the plaque and open the business." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with Li Lizhi's attitude. Although everyone said that Li Lizhi was beautiful and smart, Lin Xuan was still worried that she had princess disease.

Now it seems that Li Lizhi's character and temper are indeed very good.
