After leaving the workshop, Li Zexuan asked San Bao to drive the carriage to Azure Dragon Lane. Wang Renbiao had told him the address of his house in Chang 'an.
Azure Dragon Lane was located in the southeast corner of Chang 'an. Not far from it, it was Chang' an's most prosperous and famous "public garden and scenic tourist area". Half of it was in the city, occupying about two lanes. The other half was outside the city, extending southward. It was located in a low-lying area at the head of Fengqi Plain. Due to the accumulation of water, it formed a pool. The pool's banks were like the Guangling River, hence the name Qu River.
As an otaku, Li Zexuan rarely went out unless he had something to do. He had never been to this area before. As he stood outside Azure Dragon Lane and looked at the beautiful scenery of Qu River, he was momentarily captivated by the winding banks and the scenery of Changzhou-like waters.
"San Bao, what river is that?"
Li Zexuan had never been to Chang 'an in his previous life, nor did he remember being here in this life. Hence, he did not know that this was Qu River!
"Young Master, that is Qu River Pool. There is a palace dedicated to His Majesty on the shore. There are also pavilions built by various departments of the imperial court. It is very prosperous. Not only can the Emperor's concubines and high-ranking officials come here, but even ordinary citizens can enjoy the scenery here. It is especially lively here on the 3rd of March every year during the Shangsi Festival. "
As a native of Chang 'an, San Bao was very clear about this. When he heard his Young Master's question, he hurriedly spilled the beans and told him everything he knew.
"Oh!"
Li Zexuan nodded and thought to himself, Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't go and play in such an excellent tourist spot? Hmm, I can bring my wife and little sister here to row a boat and have a barbecue in the future.
"Let's go to Wang Renbiao's house!"
Li Zexuan looked at Qu River Pool, then got back into the carriage.
"Yes, Young Master!"
… … …
"Yo! Lord Jue, why are you here? Come in, come in! "
When Wang Renbiao heard that Li Zexuan was here, he personally came out to welcome him.
"Haha, long time no see. Renbiao is getting more and more suave!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said half-jokingly.
"Haha! Lord Jue must be joking. Please come in first! Yao 'er, get someone to serve tea! "
Wang Renbiao instructed in a low voice before leading Li Zexuan around the screen wall in the front yard to the main hall.
Leng Yuyao came in with two maids and poured a cup of tea for Wang Renbiao and Li Zexuan. Cough, cough, the task of pouring tea was naturally done by the two maids. Leng Yuyao, a great expert, would definitely not do this kind of work herself.
She stood motionlessly behind Wang Renbiao with her long sword in her arms. A cold aura emanated from her body, making it seem as if no one was allowed to get close to her within a radius of a few miles.
Cold, this woman is still as cold as usual!
Li Zexuan sighed in his heart without batting an eyelid.
Leng Yuyao was beautiful, but she was too cold. Most likely, only Wang Renbiao could endure it!
Li Zexuan was quietly sizing up Leng Yuyao, and Leng Yuyao was also quietly sizing up Li Zexuan. Although she didn't know the details of the assassination in the eastern suburbs of Chang 'an City a few days ago, she knew that Li Zexuan broke through to the Grandmaster Realm and turned the situation around. This news caused quite a stir in the Jianghu.
A Grandmaster less than 15 years old. When Leng Yuyao heard the news, she couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in her heart. Now that she saw Li Zexuan again, she felt a faintly discernible dangerous aura emanating from him. Leng Yuyao's heart was very complicated.
"Lord Jue, my humble house is simple and crude. I'm afraid I've neglected you. Please have some tea!"
Wang Renbiao couldn't feel the "probing eyes" of the "two great experts" in the room, so he said with a smile.
"Haha! Renbiao, why are you so polite? Our two families have worked together so many times. Wouldn't it be strange to address each other with titles? How about we call each other brothers and friends? "
Although Li Zexuan didn't like the tea of this era, he still understood the principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". He was now in someone else's house, and it would be very impolite to be picky. So, he picked up the teacup, took a symbolic sip, frowned slightly, and swallowed it. Then, he smiled at Wang Renbiao.
As for why he frowned, of course, it was because the taste of the tea was too damn "sour".
Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no way to make tea. From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty, people mainly plucked the leaves of the tea tree and mixed it with pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and other seasonings to make a soup for drinking. Drinking tea was just like drinking the vegetable tea soup today. The Wu people called it "Ming Porridge".
Just by looking at the ingredients, one could imagine the taste of the tea soup!
Cough, cough, don't even think about it. How ruthless!
"Haha, then Renbiao, it would be impolite to refuse. My father has always valued you, Xiao Xuan. He has always hoped that the Wang Family can maintain a good relationship with the Li Family!"
Wang Renbiao said with a smile on his face.
"Haha! Provincial Governor Wang is honest and upright. If I go to Sui Province to play in the future, I'll have to ask your father to take care of me! "
The Sui Province of the Tang Dynasty was roughly near the present-day Sui Province of Hubei. However, the area under its jurisdiction was much larger. Li Zexuan's hometown in his previous life was not far from here. He really wanted to take some time to go there and see what his hometown was like in the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Renbiao smiled and said, "That's easy. Xiao Xuan, if you really want to go, I'll personally accompany you there. I also have to visit my father!"
"Haha! Let's not talk about this first. I'm here today to look for you, Renbiao. I have some serious business. "
Li Zexuan put down his teacup and sat up straight. He said seriously, "Renbiao, you should have heard of the Azure Glass Cup, Azure Glass Cup, and Divine Mirror in the Curious Pavilion recently, right?"
That's right. He was here today to talk about cooperation. Since the Curious Pavilion had already started to sell glass products, he naturally wanted to maximize the profits. Just like before, he planned to monopolize the Chang 'an market. As for the other markets, he still wanted to let Wang Renbiao act as his agent. They had a very good foundation for cooperation.
Wang Renbiao seemed to realize something. His eyes lit up and he said, "Of course I've heard of it. Xiao Xuan, what do you mean?"
"That's right. I want to cooperate with you, Renbiao! Renbiao, haven't you thought about this before? "
Wang Renbiao quickly replied, "Ha! Of course I have! I even talked to Shopkeeper Sun about it! But he said that the production of these things is limited and can't even meet the demand in Chang 'an. So I can only wait for your workshop to expand its production before I make any plans! "
Li Zexuan nodded and said with a smile, "Mm! So that's how it is! But Renbiao, there's something you might not know. The Curious Pavilion's workshop will be moved to the vicinity of Yunshan in the near future. The area and scale of the new workshop will be more than five times larger than it is now. When the time comes, we will be able to recruit more craftsmen. Correspondingly, the workshop will also produce more Azure Glass Cups, Divine Mirror, and those things like 'Don't Touch Me' from before. When the time comes, I'll need you to help me distribute these products to various places! "
