Chapter 160 The Glass Pavilion is Opening
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the opening of Liuli Pavilion.
Lin Xuan got up in the morning, finished his daily training, and after breakfast, he came to Liuli Pavilion.
Because of the publicity in the past two days, the whole Chang'an knows that a store specializing in colored glaze will open today.
When Lin Xuan arrived, there were already many people around the door of the store.
Li Fuzhu was directing people to lay a red carpet at the entrance of the shop. Red silk and satin were hung on both sides of the entrance, which looked very festive.
The plaque has been hung up and is being covered with a red cloth. It will be officially opened after a while.
"Not bad!" Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
"This is what the little ones should do." Li Fuzhu said with a smile.
He managed the farm before, and with some small actions, he also earned a few dollars a month.
But in Liuli Pavilion, Lin Xuan gave him a salary of ten guan a month, so he could not worry about it.
Moreover, Liuli Pavilion sells all colored glazes. As the shopkeeper of Liuli Pavilion, he has a lot of face when he says it out.
"Keep busy, I'll go inside and have a look." Lin Xuan said.
There is not much difference between the first floor and the two days before he came, and he went directly to the second floor.
The second floor was filled with small ornaments. According to Lin Xuan's request, Li Fuzhu lit two candles next to each of the ornaments.
The ornaments made of glass emit a charming light under the candlelight.
Lin Xuan went shopping on the third floor again, but found nothing wrong, so he went downstairs and waited for the guests to arrive.
Seeing Lin Xuan coming out, Li Fuzhu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master Hou, Duke Yi, Duke E, Duke Dai, and Duke Langya sent housekeepers to send congratulatory gifts, and then went back."
"Okay, I see." Lin Xuan said.
The opening of the business is not a big deal, of course Qin Qiong and the others cannot 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 went up to meet him.
"Brother Lin, congratulations!" Cheng Chuliang said with a smile, and then asked everyone to send a congratulatory gift.
"Thank you! Chu Liang, please!" Lin Xuan thanked and asked someone to accept the congratulatory gift.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to take Cheng Chuliang in for a look, Li Fuzhu ran over and said, "Master Hou, the Crown Prince is here!"
Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang hurriedly turned around and went to meet Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian did not put on a ceremonial ceremony, but came in casual clothes.
"Sir, see Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang saluted.
Li Chengqian quickly said: "Excuse me!"
"His Royal Highness, please!"
Lin Xuan did not expect that Li Chengqian would come in person.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Wait, Gu brought someone here this time."
Lin Xuan looked around suspiciously, except for some guards, there was no one else.
"Come out Lizhi." Li Chengqian turned his head and said to the carriage.
Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to bring Li Lizhi over.
Li Lizhi lifted 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 plain skirt.
"Sir, see Your Highness the Princess!"
Li Lizhi said softly, "Excuse me!"
Lin Xuan straightened up and looked at Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi was dressed in a palace dress with colorful dark flowers and brocade, with light makeup on her face, she looked very beautiful and moving.
Li Lizhi looked a little embarrassed by Lin Xuan, blushing and lowered her head.
"Cough cough cough!" Li Chengqian coughed a few times.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses and said, "His Royal Highness, Princess, please come inside!"
"I heard that you, the Liuli Pavilion, only sell colored glaze. Is it true or not?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
As a prince, he doesn't even have many colored glaze products, but Lin Xuan actually opened a shop specializing in colored glaze, which made him feel 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, and Li Chengqian didn't even know about it.
"Although colored glaze is precious, there are many Lord Chang'an, and those aristocratic families can afford it. Do you have so much colored glaze?" Li Chengqian said.
He was worried that Lin Xuan had too few colored glazes, and it would be embarrassing if they were sold out soon after opening.
"Your Highness will know when you go in and take a look." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
He had thought about this problem a long time ago, so he only waited for half a month before opening, although the quantity was affected due to the firing of some large pieces.
But now there are thousands of pieces of colored glaze, plus the daily output of more than a dozen fire kilns, it is completely enough.
Seeing Lin Xuan's confident appearance, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and walked in under Lin Xuan's leadership.
"The one who just entered seems to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." A young man recognized Li Chengqian and said to his companion.
His companion nodded and said, "That's right, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"His Royal Highness is here. It seems that this store is selling colored glazes. I will definitely buy one back later." The young man said excitedly.
The opening of Liuli Pavilion attracts a family of well-to-do families.
They all wanted to see if it was true, and if it was true, they wouldn't mind buying one back.
Those ordinary people, although they also knew the news, but no one came over.
Anyway, they can't afford it, and if they break it, they won't be able to pay for it if they sell them, unless their heads are flooded, they will come to watch the fun.
……
"You have so many colored glazes?" Li Chengqian looked at the colored glazes on the shelf, a little surprised.
Cheng Chuliang and Li Lizhi also looked shocked!
Roughly estimated, there are at least one or two hundred colored glazes on the shelf.
According to Li Chengqian's understanding, even his father's treasure house is not so much.
"Your Highness, because I have mastered the method of making colored glaze." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
The three of Li Chengqian 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 a part, but seeing their appearance, he gave up this idea.
"There are still upstairs?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.
He originally thought that these were all, but he didn't expect there to be more.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "There are both on the second and third floors."
The three of Li Chengqian calculated in their minds that there were one to two hundred pieces on the first floor, and at least four to five hundred pieces on the three floors.
How much is four or five hundred pieces of colored glaze worth?
Looking at their appearance, Lin Xuan roughly guessed what they were thinking, and said, "There are much fewer upstairs than downstairs, not much."
When the three of Li Chengqian saw the colored glaze placed on the second floor, they all looked at Lin Xuan speechlessly.
"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that? 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 much as the first floor.
But the first floor is full of cups and bowls, can it be compared with the decorations on the second floor?
There are only more than 30 ornaments on the second floor, each of which is about the size of a football.
In addition to flowers, birds, fish and insects, there are also some common animals and the Chinese zodiac.
These ornaments, illuminated by candlelight, are very eye-catching.
The three of Li Chengqian gathered around and looked carefully.
Whichever one they looked at, they all liked it very much.
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 removing some necessary expenses, Li Chengqian didn't have much money left.
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.
As for Cheng Chuliang, not to mention, if Lin Xuan hadn't cooperated with his family in brewing wine, the family would not even have the money to buy his property.
Although the family has a lot of money now, if he dares to buy Liuli back home, Cheng Yaojin may break his leg.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "There are still some on the third floor. Let's go up to the third floor and have a look. These things are just that. If you like them, I will give you some when I leave."
The two of them didn't say anything, anyway, Li Lizhi and Lin Xuan wanted to give it away.
"How can Gu take such an expensive thing!" Li Chengqian said.
Cheng Chuliang also echoed: "That's right, it's too expensive, I'm really embarrassed to take it."
"Thank you for the kindness of the Hou of Jingyang County. I can't take it either." Li Lizhi lowered her head and said in a low voice.
Lin Xuan looked at Li Li and asked, "Princess and I, are you still polite?"
This is his future wife, just a few things made of glass, he doesn't care at all.
Li Lizhi was a little flustered, she took a peek at Lin Xuan, and said in a low voice, "I listen to the Marquis of Jingyang County."
Without Li Chengqian's attention, Cheng Chuliang gave Lin Xuan a thumbs up.
He also has a marriage contract with Princess Qinghe, but if he wants to talk to Princess Qinghe like this, he doesn't have the guts to ask himself.
"Okay, I'll take you to the third floor to have a look, and then go down to unveil the opening." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
He was very satisfied with Li Lizhi's attitude. Although everyone said that Li Lizhi was beautiful and intelligent, Lin Xuan was still worried that she had princess disease.
Now it seems that Li Lizhi's personality is really good.
