"Zhijie, Jingde! It's so noisy in front of Taiji Palace. What a scandal ~! "
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were used to fighting each other. Qin Qiong, who had arrived later, couldn't help but scold them in a low voice.
"Hey! Second Brother, you're here so early too! Did Xiao Xuan give you a bicycle too ~? "
Cheng Yaojin said with a rough smile.
Qin Qiong nodded and said, "En! This old man tried it yesterday and found that this car is much more convenient than the carriage, so I rode it here this morning. Just now, I saw three bicycles at the gate of the Imperial City. They should belong to Zhijie, Jing De, and Jin Da, right? "
Niu Jinda swept a glance at this pair of old foes in the field and said with a smile, "Haha! It shouldn't be too bad! Looks like Xiao Xuan gave each of us a bicycle ~! "
Cheng Zhijie gave a thumbs up. "Haha! There's nothing to say about this child's ability and character! He's a good junior! "
"Isn't that Apothecary?"
Yuchi Jingde's eyes were sharp. He saw Li Jing walking towards them from not far away and spoke.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Jing.
"Haha! Apothecary, why are you so late today? Didn't Xiao Xuan give you a bicycle ~? That shouldn't be. In terms of seniority, you're Han Yuxi's grandfather! "
When Li Jing walked over, Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to ask.
He said that he was asking, but this old fellow was actually showing off. Many times, invisible posturing was the most fatal.
How could Li Jing not understand Cheng Yaojin's thoughts, but Old Cheng was destined to not be able to pretend.
"Hehe! Yesterday, Xiao Xuan sent someone to deliver a bicycle to me. It seems to be called a bicycle. "
Hearing this, the smile on Cheng Yaojin's face froze. "Then … Apothecary, you didn't ride it over today? Haven't you learned it yet ~? "
Li Jing blushed and coughed dryly. "That's not it. This bicycle isn't difficult to learn, but it was used by Hongfu these two days. I still rode a carriage today ~!"
"Oh ~! I see ~! "
Cheng Yaojin said with disappointment.
Not far away, the other court officials saw that it was so lively here and couldn't help but whisper in groups.
"What are the dukes talking about ~? They're laughing so happily! "
"I don't know! But High Duke Lu has always attended court late. Why are you here so early today? "
"I know! It's said that the Marquis of Yong 'an gifted a bicycle to each of the dukes yesterday. They all rode their bicycles here today, that's why they arrived so quickly! "
"Bicycle? What kind of car is this? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
"Hey! It's most likely a new car from Marquis Yong 'an's workshop! "
"Is this bike really that good?"
"Exactly! No matter how good it is, can it be better than not touching me in the Strange Interest Pavilion? "
"Haha! You can't say that. Both types of cars have their own advantages! It's said that this bicycle doesn't need animal power to move. If you want to move, you can just use your feet to move. Moreover, the body of the bicycle is extremely small. As long as a person can pass by, the bicycle can pass by. It's not like a horse carriage, which is abnormally heavy and often causes congestion on the streets! "
"There's such a car in this world? Assistant Minister Wang, how do you know this so clearly? "
"Hehe! This … A few days ago, when the Marquis of Yong 'an was riding his bicycle back to Chang' an, my wife and I were just about to go to the East Market, so we bumped into him. This is something that I, Wang, saw with my own eyes! "
"Whoa! If this bicycle is really as good as Assistant Minister Wang says, then this Zhang will buy one no matter what! This way, it will be very convenient for me to go to court every day! "
"I wonder how much this bicycle costs? Where can I sell it? "
"It should be sold at the Strange Interest Pavilion! But as for the price, I really don't know! But I think it will be much cheaper than not touching me! "
…
At the palace, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, and the others were helping Li Zexuan advertise. Li Zexuan had already made arrangements. According to the plan, today was the day that the bicycles would be sold. First of all, Datang Daily would definitely cooperate.
"Hey! Come and take a look! The bicycles are going on sale! "
Early in the morning, as today's newspaper was put up for sale from the editorial department of Qiqu Culture, the people found a piece of breaking news in a prominent position of the newspaper. The peaceful Chang 'an City was suddenly in an uproar.
"Really ~? When will it be sold? Where can I sell it ~? Is it in the Strange Interest Pavilion? "
"Uh! I'll start selling it today! But it's not in the Strange Interest Pavilion! "
Hearing that the bicycles would not be sold at the Strange Interest Pavilion, many people were in disbelief:
"What? It's not in the Strange Interest Pavilion? How is that possible? The bicycles were created by Marquis Yong 'an. If it's not in the Strange Interest Pavilion, where else can it be? Did you see wrongly? "
"I didn't see wrongly! According to the newspaper, the bicycles from Qi Qu Pavilion will be officially on sale today. The locations will be Xi City's Craftsman Pavilion, Cao Family's Treasure Pavilion, Lin Family's Qing Ya Zhai, Zhang Family's Ya Wan Xuan, Liao Family's Yu Bao Tang, Feng Family's Kun Bao Pavilion, Lin Family's Huizang Zhai, and Wang Family's Ju Bao Zhai ~!
"Craftsman Pavilion, Treasure Pavilion, Elegant Pavilion, Elegant Pavilion, Jade Treasure Hall ~? Why these shops? What about the Strange Interest Pavilion? Why isn't there any Strange Interest Pavilion ~? "
"Hey! How would I know! How can we, the common people, understand Marquis Yong 'an's thoughts? "
"Then … how much is the price of this bicycle?"
"400 strings of coins ~! And the quantity is limited! "
"400 strings of coins? It's not that expensive, it's cheaper than a normal horse carriage. But these shops probably don't have that much stock. We might not be able to get it! Sigh! I thought it would be sold at the Strange Interest Pavilion. I still have a purple membership card there ~! "
This sentence struck a chord in many people's hearts. One must know that the Strange Interest Pavilion now had a very large number of members. There were many people who wanted to use their membership cards to get the bicycles.
"Yeah! I also have a purple membership card at the Strange Interest Pavilion. I thought I could use this to get the upper hand. Looks like I'll be happy for nothing ~! "
"Hey hey! The newspaper also says that the Strange Interest Pavilion membership cards that were sold previously have been renamed to Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce membership cards. Members of all ranks will enjoy the same treatment in the shops above. But all members will have to pay membership fees to the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce every year ~! From now on, there will only be Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce membership cards! "
"Wow! Marquis is awesome! "
"Damn! Why didn't you say so earlier! Tong 'an, quick, quick, bring the horse over. This young master wants to go to Xi City to buy a bicycle! "
"Brother Zhang, wait! I'll go with you! "
After hearing Li Zexuan's decision, those who had Strange Interest Pavilion membership cards immediately rushed to Xi City.
