When Li Zexuan left the workshop, he asked someone to send the 300 scooters that he had already made to the Strange Interest Pavilion.
The original shopkeeper of the Curious Pavilion had already moved everything away. Li Zexuan had previously had Wang Zhong decorate the shop. He felt that the most important thing about the Curious Pavilion was the novelty of the products, not the decoration of the shop.
"Brother Shaoning, now that we have the first batch of scooters, I plan to open for business tomorrow. I will have someone inform the Crown Prince and Princess Changle that tomorrow at noon, Brother Shaoning, please be there on time!"
With the first batch of scooters, Li Zexuan's back was firm and he planned to open for business immediately.
Yan Shaoning was shocked, "So fast?"
Li Zexuan nodded his head, "Since we already have the first batch of scooters, the sooner we open for business, the better. Besides, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to do!"
"Okay, then your brother will definitely be there on time tomorrow."
… …
When Li Zexuan returned home, he immediately wrote two invitations and asked Wang Zhong to send them to Cheng Chumo and Li Chengqian. These two good brothers still had to be notified and at the same time, let them come and support him.
Wang Zhong accepted the order and left.
Li Zexuan then called for San Bao, instructing, "San Bao, go to the Western Market and find six children from the vaudeville troupe. Six or seven years old will do. Tell them that this young master needs to invite people to perform. Each person will be paid two hundred copper coins a day. Quickly go and bring them back."
Although San Bao was puzzled, he knew that he should not ask. Thus, without hesitation, he bowed and replied, "Yes, young master. San Bao will go immediately."
… …
Two hours later, San Bao returned with the six children and a middle-aged man.
"Young master, San Bao has returned. This is Troupe Leader Sun of the vaudeville troupe. He was somewhat worried and followed along. "San Bao pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced him to Li Zexuan.
Without waiting for Li Zexuan to speak, Leader Sun took the initiative to step forward and say, "Young Master, I'm really sorry. I was just worried that these children were not sensible and would offend Young Master, so I followed you. Young Master, please don't misunderstand."
Li Zexuan knew in his heart that Leader Sun was probably afraid that something would happen to these children, such as encountering human traffickers or something. That was why he followed them. However, this also showed that this person had a good heart and was not the kind of person who only had money in his eyes. Li Zexuan was too lazy to expose him, so he just smiled and said,
"What are you talking about, Leader Sun? I have a shop in the East City that will officially open tomorrow. I invited these children here mainly to let them perform at the entrance of the shop tomorrow for a festive occasion."
Leader Sun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He had indeed been worried about the safety of these children before, which was why he had followed them here.
"If that's the case, Young Master, if you have any requests, feel free to instruct these children. Their playing skills are not bad. This old man will take his leave first!"
Li Zexuan nodded. "San Bao, give your salary to Leader Sun first!"
…
After Leader Sun left, Li Zexuan looked at the six children in front of him. There were three boys and three girls. They were all about six or seven years old. Although they looked thin and weak, each of them exuded a sense of cleverness.
"What are your names?" Li Zexuan asked kindly.
"Young Master, my name is Xiao Hang. I'm the oldest among us. This is Xiao Hao, this is Xiao Zhi, this is Xiao Xue, this is Xiao Meng, and this is Xiao Ya. Young Master, what do you want us to perform? Feel free to instruct us. Although we are young, we can definitely do it well."
A slightly older boy came out and introduced them to Li Zexuan. The other children looked at Li Zexuan with hopeful faces. They all wanted to perform well and satisfy this young master. Otherwise, they would definitely be scolded when they went back.
"Well, don't be nervous. I didn't ask you to perform any difficult juggling. I just want you to play something very interesting. San Bao, go and bring all the scooters in our school. "
"Yes, Young Master."
…
Half an hour later, San Bao and two other servants brought six scooters over. The six children stared at the scooters curiously.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Your task is very simple. You must learn how to ride the scooters by today. When my shop opens tomorrow, you will split into two groups and ride the scooters. Make two lines of scooters at the entrance of the shop to attract the crowd. San Bao, come over and teach them how to ride. "
San Bao's face was bitter. This was something for children to play with. He was too embarrassed to play with it.
"Young Master, San Bao has never played with scooters before!"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you haven't played with scooters before, then you haven't seen it before. How Lan 'er usually plays with scooters is how you play with scooters. Quickly, go and teach them. I will reward you."
Li Zexuan was, of course, unwilling to teach a group of children how to ride scooters. It was too degrading. He had no problem teaching his younger sister, but with so many children, it was better to let San Bao teach them. Li Zexuan finished speaking and went back to the West Courtyard. He planned to wait for four hours before coming back to check on the progress.
…
Duke Lu's Mansion.
"Young Master, this is an invitation sent by Li Zexuan."
The Cheng Mansion's housekeeper handed an invitation to Cheng Chumo.
"Oh? An invitation from Xiao Xuan? What does he want to do? Let me see. "
Cheng Chumo took the invitation curiously. He opened it and looked at it carefully. He said, "Strange Interest Pavilion? What is it for? Uncle Liang, do you know about the Strange Interest Pavilion? "
Housekeeper Liang thought for a while and replied, "I have never heard of this Strange Interest Pavilion. But looking at the location written on the invitation, it should be the shop where the East City's Heavenly Craft Pavilion used to be. I heard that the Heavenly Craft Pavilion was going to sell it, but I didn't expect it to be bought by the Li family."
Cheng Chumo nodded. He also didn't know what Li Zexuan was doing. But he suddenly remembered a rumor today and said,
"Uncle Liang, I heard that Xiao Xuan's family was wantonly purchasing chicken seedlings in the West City today. Is this true?"
Housekeeper Liang nodded. "Young Master, I also heard about this today. It is said that they bought at least seven thousand chicken seedlings today. They bought almost all the chicken seedlings in the East City today. I am also curious as to why they bought so many chicken seedlings."
Although Cheng Chumo was a bit fierce, he wasn't stupid. He stroked his stubbled chin, thought for a while, and said, "This brother of mine is very smart.
"This brother of mine is very smart. I don't believe that he would make a loss. There must be a deeper meaning behind this. I'll ask him tomorrow. If there's really a profit to be made, I'll ask my father to buy some chicken seedlings. Hehe! "
…
East Palace.
An eunuch hurried in and bowed to Li Chengqian. "Reporting to Your Highness, there is a person outside the palace with the East Palace token. He asked this servant to give this invitation to Your Highness."
Li Chengqian curiously said, "Oh, give it to me!"
When he saw the contents of the invitation, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up. He said, "Oh, they opened for business so soon? That's great. Come, set up the Changle Palace. "
