After leaving the workshop, Li Zexuan asked Sanbao to drive the carriage to Qinglongfang. Wang Renbiao once told him the address of his home in Chang'an City.
Qinglongfang is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City. Not far from it, it is the most prosperous and famous "Public Garden Scenic Tourist Area" in Chang'an. Half of it is inside the city, occupying about two squares; half is outside the city. It winds and extends to the south. It is located in a low-lying area at the head of Fengqi. It is named Qujiang because the water accumulated in it forms a pool. "The water on the bank of the pool is winding and winding, like the Guangling River".
As a homebody, Li Zexuan rarely goes out unless he has something to do. He has never been to this area. Standing outside Qinglongfang, looking at the beautiful scenery of Qujiang from a distance, he was also attracted by the winding bank of the pond and the scenery of the water like Changzhou. Conquered.
"Sambo, what kind of river is that?"
Li Zexuan had never been to Xi'an in his previous life, and he had never been here in his memory in this life, so how did he know that this was Qujiang in front of him!
"Young Master, that is Qujiang Pond. On the bank there is a palace dedicated to His Majesty, as well as pavilions built by various departments of the imperial court. It is very prosperous. Not only the emperor, princesses, and dignitaries can come here, but also ordinary people can come here. Take in the scenery at a glance. Especially the Shangsi Festival on the third day of March every year, this place is the busiest."
As a native of Chang'an, Sanbao knew all about this. When he heard his young master asking questions, he quickly told everything he knew like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
"oh!"
Li Zexuan nodded and thought, wouldn't it be a pity not to visit such an excellent tourist destination? Well, in the future, I can bring my wife and little sister here for boating and barbecue, okay?
"Let's go to Wang Renbiao's house!"
Li Zexuan glanced at Qujiangchi, then got on the carriage again and said.
"Yes, Master!"
……………………
"Yo~! Sir, why are you here? Please come in, please come in!"
Wang Renbiao learned that Li Zexuan was coming and personally greeted him.
"Haha, long time no see, Renbiao is becoming more and more charming!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said half-jokingly.
"Haha~! Your Majesty is joking, please come inside first~! Yao'er, let someone serve tea~!"
Wang Renbiao gave instructions in a low voice and took Li Zexuan around the screen wall in the front yard to the main hall to sit down.
Leng Yuyao came in with two maids, and poured a cup of tea for Wang Renbiao and Li Zexuan each. Ahem, the task of pouring tea was of course done by the two maids. Leng Yuyao, a great expert, would definitely not do it herself. This kind of work.
She was seen holding a long sword and standing motionless behind Wang Renbiao. A cold temperament spread from the inside out, as if no one could get close to her for miles around.
Cold, this woman is still as cold as usual!
Li Zexuan sighed calmly in his heart.
Leng Yuyao is beautiful, but too cold. Only Wang Renbiao can tolerate it!
Li Zexuan was sizing up Leng Yuyao quietly, and Leng Yuyao was also sizing up Li Zexuan quietly. Although she didn't know the details of the assassination in the eastern suburbs valley outside Chang'an City a few days ago, she also knew that Li Zexuan broke through to the master level and saved the day. This news caused quite a stir in the world.
When Leng Yuyao, a martial arts master who was less than fifteen years old, heard the news, she inevitably felt a sense of frustration in her heart. Now that she saw Li Zexuan again and felt the vague and dangerous aura emanating from that person, Leng Yuyao felt very complicated.
"Sir, my shabby house is simple. I'm afraid I'm being neglectful. Please have some tea!"
Wang Renbiao couldn't feel the "testing eyes" of the "two masters" in the room, he said with a smile.
"Haha~! Why should Renbiao be so polite? Our two families have worked together so many times. Doesn't it seem strange to refer to each other with titles? How about we refer to each other as brothers and friends?"
Although Li Zexuan doesn't like to drink tea of this era, he still understands the principle of "doing as the Romans do when in town". He is now in someone else's house, and it would be very rude to be picky, so he picked up the teacup and symbolically He took a sip, frowned slightly and swallowed, then smiled at Wang Renbiao.
As for why I frowned, it was of course because the tea tasted so "sour and refreshing".
There was no tea making method before the Tang Dynasty. From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty, people mainly picked the leaves of the tea tree, mixed them with pepper, ginger, cinnamon and other condiments, and boiled them directly into a soup for drinking. Like drinking vegetable tea soup today, Wu people call it "ming porridge".
Just by looking at the ingredients inside, you can imagine the taste of tea soup!
Ahem, don’t even think about it, it’s so cruel!
"Haha, that's disrespectful. My father has always valued you Xiaoxuan very much. He always hopes that the Wang family can maintain a good relationship with the Li family!"
Wang Ren looked happy and smiled.
"Haha~! Governor Wang is upright and brings good things to the world. If my little brother goes to Suizhou to play in the future, he will have to ask his father to take care of him!"
Suizhou in the Tang Dynasty was probably near today's Suizhou, Hubei Province, but its jurisdiction was larger. Li Zexuan's hometown in his previous life was not far from here. He had really thought about taking some time to go there and see where his hometown was. What was the Tang Dynasty like?
Wang Renbiao smiled and said: "That's easy to say. Xiaoxuan, if you really want to go, I will personally accompany you there one day. It just so happens that I also have to visit my father!"
"Haha~! Let's not mention this for now. I came here today to see you for business, Renbiao."
Li Zexuan put down the tea cup, sat up straight, and said seriously: "You must have heard of Renbiao's recent glazed cups, glazed lamps and fairy mirrors in Qiquge Pavilion, right?"
That's right, he came here today to discuss cooperation. Since Qiquge has started selling glass products, of course he wants to maximize the benefits. As before, he plans to monopolize the market in Chang'an City. As for the market in other places, he still wants to hand it over to Wang Renbiao as an agent. There is a good basis for cooperation between them.
Wang Renbiao seemed to realize something. His eyes lit up and he said, "Of course I've heard of it, Xiaoxuan, what do you mean?"
"Yes, I just want to cooperate with you, Renbiao! Have you never thought about this before, Renbiao?"
Wang Renbiao quickly replied: "Ha! Of course I have thought about it! I also talked to shopkeeper Sun! But he said that the production of these things is limited and cannot even meet the demand in Chang'an City, so I can only wait for your work I’ll make plans after the workshop expands production~!”
Li Zexuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah~! So that's it! But there is something you may not know about Renbiao. The workshop of Qiquge will be moved to near Yunshan in the near future. The area and scale of the new workshop It will be more than five times larger than it is now. By then we can recruit more craftsmen. Correspondingly, the workshop will also produce more glass cups, glass lamps, fairy mirrors and other things like don’t touch me. , then I will need you, Renbiao, to help me distribute these products to various places!"
