Chapter 45: The Curiosity Pavilion

When he came to Dongshi, Steward Wang found someone from Yaxing to explain his intentions. The man took them to a store that they were interested in selling in the near future.

In the end, Li Chengqian and Li Zexuan took a fancy to a wood carving shop called "Tiangong Pavilion".

The store is a large two-story building with a place to stock up on the top and a storefront on the bottom. Moreover, this store is strategically located, diagonally opposite is the largest restaurant in the East Market, Yunxi Building, and the location is in the most densely populated place in the East Market.

Li Zexuan was very satisfied with the store structure and geographical location of this store, and hurriedly motioned for Steward Wang to negotiate the price with the owner of this store, while he himself hung out with Li Chengqian and Lan'er in this store.

When he saw the wood carvings on the shelves of this store, Li Zexuan was immediately surprised.

I saw that on the shelves, Zhang Guolao, Maitreya Buddha, Shuanglong playing with pearls, monkey birthday all kinds of wood carving works. And each wood carving layout is plump, scattered but not loose, more but not chaotic, the layers are clear, the theme is prominent, the carving person is really a knife master, this shop is named Tiangong Pavilion is worthy of the name.

Li Chengqian was also a little surprised, although he was young, he still had the ability to appreciate, and when he saw so many exquisite carving works, he exclaimed to Li Zexuan: "Brother Zexuan, the wood carvings in this store can only be compared with some heirloom products in the palace." ”

Li Zexuan nodded.

At this moment, Steward Wang had already finished negotiating with the shopkeeper and walked over to them.

"Young master, according to what this boss said, their master was transferred to Suzhou, so he was in a hurry to sell this shop, and the final price was seven hundred and eighty yuan, what do you think, young master?" Steward Wang reported.

Cheap, really cheap, this is Li Zexuan's first feeling. Compared with the housing prices in the capital of later generations, the price of this store is really weak now, Li Zexuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then walked to the shopkeeper in person.

He arched his hand and said: "Shopkeeper, dare to ask who the wood carving master of this shop is?" ”

The shopkeeper found the buyer and was in a good mood, so he replied, "Oh? Could it be that this Lang Jun is also interested in wood carving? The person who carved this is Liu Dingyi, a famous heavenly knife in Chang'an City, known as Liu Yidao, and our store was also invited to paint a lot of money before.

If Shao Langjun bought this shop to do wood carving business, the old man suggested that you should hurry up and find a way to keep this Liu Yidao, and many shops outside rushed to hire him. ”

With that, the shopkeeper pointed to a lean old man at the door.

Li Zexuan heard the shopkeeper say that the old man's nickname was Liu Yidao, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, why don't you call it a knife cow. In his previous life, he was a Dota lover, and he played a lot of one-knife cow routines, uh, this thing can't help but want to be crooked again.

However, Li Zexuan really wants to keep this exquisite old man, although he does not plan to open a wood carving shop, but in the future, he still needs a master who can carve some rare things.

Li Zexuan immediately kept Liu Yidao at one and a half times the salary before Tiangong Pavilion.

After handing over to the shopkeeper, they were given three days to move out.

Li Chengqian saw that it was not too early, so he was about to leave, and suddenly thought that their shop did not have a name yet, so he asked, "Brother Zexuan, what should this shop be called?" ”

Li Zexuan thought for a while and said: "Let's call it the Curious Pavilion, in the future, the world's strange treasures will all come from this pavilion, haha!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement: "This name is great!" ”

Li Zexuan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea, pulled Li Chengqian, and whispered:

"Gao Ming, I heard that His Majesty loves calligraphy today, if you can find a way to ask Your Majesty to inscribe a plaque for the Wonder Pavilion, how about I give you half a dozen more dry shares plus two wonderful stories like "Journey to the West"?"

Li Chengqian's face changed when he heard this, and his head immediately shook like a rattle, and he said urgently: "No, no, my father will definitely not agree." ”

Although Li Zexuan's conditions were very tempting, it was obvious that Li Er's tiger might made him even more afraid, and asked Li Er to give a shop plaque, which was really a shame for his brother to think of it, which was simply death.

Li Zexuan saw that he refused very simply, and knew that there was no play, so he retreated and said: "Then forget it, but Gao Ming, you have to find a calligraphy master to inscribe the plaque, the style of our Wonder Pavilion in the future must be as high as possible, and the plaque can't be cold." ”

Li Chengqian thought about it, and already had a plan in his heart, so he nodded in agreement and said, "This is no problem." Oh, by the way, tomorrow I'll bring that person with great skill and very interesting equipment to meet you, I see that Brother Zexuan often has some whimsical ideas, maybe you two can collide with some sparks. ”

This sentence is not a problem in Li Chengqian's opinion, but in the eyes of Li Zexuan, who is a modern person, there is a big problem, and he slandered in his heart: Lao Tzu does not engage in foundation.

But Li Zexuan didn't explain anything, but was a little interested in the person in Li Chengqian's mouth, so he said: "Then I'll wait and see if I'm a brother." ”

Then Li Chengqian said goodbye to him and left with the guards.

Li Zexuan took Lan'er and Yu Xi and hired a carriage to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to pick up Tie Dan.

Seeing that the iron egg was wrapped into a zongzi, Han Yu was distressed and couldn't help crying, and Lan'er's eyes were red.

Tie Dan saw that his sister and Lan'er were sad for him, and hurriedly comforted: "Sister, Sister Lan'er, don't worry, Tie Dan is fine, it doesn't hurt anymore." ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but as soon as he speaks, Lan'er immediately burst into tears.

Li Zexuan saw that Tie Dan was already able to speak, and the injured parts were bandaged, so he wanted to take him home to take care of him. So he called a medical officer and asked, "How is this child's injury?" Can I take it back? ”

Tie Dan has no relatives and no reason in Chang'an, and today he was injured for Han Yu, no matter what, Li Zexuan has to take him back to the house to take care of him.

When Li Zexuan came to the Imperial Medical Department, he brought Li Chengqian's warrant, and the medical officer naturally didn't dare to offend, and replied: "The fractured part of this child's body has been taken back, and then you only need to recuperate, you can take him back, but you must be careful." ”

Li Zexuan nodded, invited a few students from the Imperial Medical Department, and carefully carried the iron egg onto the carriage. Naturally, several futons had already been prepared on the carriage to avoid bumps.

Li Zexuan asked Han Yuxi and Lan'er to get into the car to take care of Tie Dan, and told the guy driving the carriage to walk slowly, he and Steward Wang followed on foot behind the carriage, and the group rushed to the Li Mansion.

When Tie Dan saw that the young master was walking by himself but let him sleep in the carriage, he was immediately moved, and he wanted to get up and excuse himself, but was severely stopped by Li Zexuan.

Tie Dan's heart suddenly warmed, and he thought to himself, he was also a young master, why was his young master so good to them and the countrymen, but Liu Haojian and Cao Shaoyun were so bad to the countrymen?

Tie Dan saved people twice, was beaten twice, although the person was successfully saved, but every time he would fight to get injured, he still had some desire for strength in his heart, he wanted to be as powerful as the young master, or as powerful as his father, so that he could protect his relatives from being bullied.

Seeing that the young master was so good to his family, Tie Dan had a trace of hope in his heart, he was thinking, maybe he begged the young master to let the young master teach him martial arts? Even if the young master is unwilling, Tie Dan plans to retreat and go home to find his father to teach him two tricks.

Yes, Tie Dan is not stupid, he also knows that the young master's martial arts are better than his own father.

After going through so many things, Tie Dan himself understands many things, and he wants to become stronger!
