Li Zhi insisted on coming to Zhengqing Wenqitang in the evening, because he needed to set aside a place to place various objects from overseas.

The nature of the city is suitable for this type of goods, and the jade shop was eventually established here because of the purchasing power of the city.

Moreover, it is a commercial area with a high concentration of expatriates, which is in line with the main sales environment for imported goods, although these foreign vassals are not the main buyers.

The military had given him two storefronts in Dongshi, one of which had been left to the Dongzhushan family to operate a steam room, and the other double-storey façade room, which had long been renovated and had not been opened, just came in handy.

These imported goods involve all aspects of life, such as plants, wood, spices, medicines, textiles, pigments, ores, metal products, secular utensils, religious utensils, books, etc., almost everything that is needed for life and used in daily life.

In particular, some livestock, wild beasts, and birds have vivid color drawings of social culture and material life with very distinctive foreign characteristics, which provide a valuable reference for understanding and understanding the social life and cultural history of the West and the Western Regions.

Moreover, many of the non-paper books produced by them are literary reflections of foreign things, such as humanities, prisoners of war, slaves, dwarfs, musicians and maiko, technology, geography, ancient legends, and so on.

These will be the focus of research and curiosity hunters, and there are many rare treasures even in the place of origin, all of which are treasured by the royal family or magnates, almost opening the third eye for the Oriental to see the world and themselves.

It is more collectible than those Hu clothes, daily necessities, spices, etc., and the sales group is relatively narrow, but it can often be sold at a good price.

Behind the introduction of every item, there must be something called "culture".

For example, the introduction of instrumental music from a foreign country will inevitably be accompanied by foreign musicians and music.

During the Tang Dynasty, the introduction of exotic artifacts was often accompanied by quiet changes in life customs, and exotic gems and medicines would also cause people to associate with spiritual beliefs.

Each item has its own cultural symbols, and the charm from foreign lands is easier to attract the attention of the world, appreciate, imitate, and even inherit and develop.

This is particularly evident in medicines, metal products, and various religious and secular objects.

Just like the porcelain, silk, antiques and other objects of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why they are recognized in the West.

There are two places where these objects come from, both of which are Li Zhi's trophies, among which the items that were sealed under Magpie Island and looted by pirates are treasures, tributes, and gifts from the nobles who come and go at sea.

All of these things have roots that nourish their growth, and the cultural and vital symbols of their pure blood are often limited, or they have disappeared in the vicissitudes of history, or they have become extinct due to the decline of the ethnic group to which they belong.

Therefore, the preciousness and scarcity of this nature are very eye-catching, and some of them are simply foreign inheritances, which will be snapped up by foreigners.

The smuggling boats seized on the dock were more for daily necessities, as well as some precious animal bones and ivory.

They will be the target of attention of the general population, and the key is the smuggled things, which have their uniqueness and exotic style.

The three girls were accompanied by him and went to the shops in the east and west markets, and were responsible for dispatching a few clerks to familiarize themselves with them in advance, so that they could officially open tomorrow.

Afei Fa stayed by Li Zhi's side, helping him sort out and classify, especially those objects in the Western Regions, she understood their specific use, and handwriting recognition.

The thirty hussars were summoned to furnish the shop and wipe down the doors and windows.

Soon, the news that the new store of Zhengqing Wenqitang was about to open attracted attention from all sides.

Today, the industry under Li's name has become synonymous with guiding the trend, whether it is a businessman, an equalization agency, or an ordinary shopper, they are soon recruited by the brightly lit new location.

Dongshi is close to Taiji Palace, Dongnei Daming Palace, and Nannei Xingqing Palace, and there are many royal nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding square, so it is also a place where high-class luxury goods are concentrated by the accumulation of curiosities from all over the world.

Even though Dongshi is a product distribution center for handicraft production and commercial trade, the goods sold in the market are mostly daily necessities such as clothing, candles, cakes, and medicines, and most of them are medium and high-end items, which ordinary people still cannot afford.

Even the casual shopping after the lantern at night will be more likely to be people from high-ranking families living nearby.

Therefore, unlike the merchants who came to inquire and the market doormen who helped Li Zhi tidy up, among the onlookers who seemed to be wandering, some people were exclaiming that the jewelry, agate ornaments, and metal products that had been placed on display.

After obtaining Li Zhi's consent, some people who were interested in buying were put in, and they surrounded their favorite things one by one, admiring them.

Many rich people just buy something strange, something that seems useless to ordinary people, such as a piece of animal skin, a corner of ivory, and a shell carved with words, will be the obsession of those people.

Since there was no clerk, Ligaya, who was next to Afifa, was temporarily filled by Fatuma, anyway, across the wide counter, according to the designation, he just went.

These people don't carry a lot of silver with them, and the real buyers will only come another day, so there is no need to set a price, and with a few light cavalry guards around, they can handle it.

One of Li Zhi's bags was full of such loot, and a corner of the second floor was used as a warehouse, and only some extremely precious things were placed in the other places.

Qingqi and the others came when the crowd of onlookers gathered more and more, accompanied by Princess Yiyi and Feng Xing.

Obviously, when Yi Yi learned that she was recognized, when she saw Li again, there was an obvious twist in her expression.

Fortunately, Li Zhizheng was busy, and the people who came in and out also made the scene a little messy, allowing her to avoid the initial embarrassment.

Pang Qi exclaimed when he stepped into the store, Li Zhi was very good at furnishing, and almost every place where there was a candle flame was placed by him with a stalactite with a unique jade texture in Tongyun Cave.

This stalagmite, which is mostly cylindrical or conical, has a greasy-like calcification on the surface to form a magical smoothness, and has an excellent reflection of light.

And because the stone has different colors, under the light reflection, there will be different fantasy colors.

This kind of dripping and curd essence, its form changes without a square, the stone body has a variety of landscape patterns, it is natural, it is an ornamental stone of great natural beauty.

Through different directions, the products in the store will be set off with a particularly high-grade level, and the quality of the entire store will be improved a lot.

The dazzling array of colors, with the occasional large agate or half-open jadeite rough placed somewhere, is immediately remarkable.

And the ground is covered with a thick Western style velvet carpet, which adds a bit of luxury to the scene.

At the entrance of the first floor, there is an orange and red translucent chalcedony, three feet wide and five feet high, with a texture similar to the head of the Buddha, and turquoise and lapis lazuli are matched together to form a kind of religious treasure of the town.

Just such an ornament, can not be estimated by specific property, belongs to the priceless treasure, as soon as you enter the door to see it, the identity is noble, the door will become solemn and cautious.

Pang sighed, "Even if I see this thing, I have become cautious, even if the store sells some needles and threads, no one will think it is cheap!" ”

She didn't care about the people around her, she stood there looking left and right, her eyes flashing brightly.

Most of the guests are the masters who have eaten and seen, and they know the identity of the boss here, and they know who this person is when they see Pang Qi, who is as fragrant as a fairy, and who is graceful.

Like the long-admired characters of later generations, they were immediately stunned like wooden chickens, revealing a lost look, which was even more magnificent because of the Pang Cry under the dazzling color.

Qingqi hurriedly pulled her away, complaining as she walked, "I don't think you're showy enough, I don't remember why Zhengwen asked you to hang a veil on your face in the first place?" Don't see anyone drooling around you? ”

seems to be a casual picture, but under the publicity of the onlookers outside, the news of the appearance of fairies in the store spread.

Not long after, there was a steady stream of people coming, which was a small episode in the evening, but it illustrated the terrifying influence of that illusory chalcedony on the side.

After Li Zhi was busy for a while, he came to the second floor and saw several women hiding there, and then he paid attention to Princess Yiyi, who was looking shy.

He has known Yiyi for a long time, and he couldn't help but joke: "Yiyi, you used to have a nickname called Little Witch, why did you look dignified and beautiful tonight, which is seriously inconsistent with my impression of you!" ”

As soon as he said that, he suddenly remembered that this woman had been included in the harem, and he was very annoyed that he didn't choose what to say, because this would make Yiyi very embarrassed, and it was in front of several ladies.

Mainly because he couldn't be more familiar with her, he has always been used to verbal attacks, Li Zhi was so busy that he didn't come over for a while.

Who would have thought that Yi Yi was not angry, and suddenly sobbed after looking at Li Zhi quietly for a certain moment.

Several women hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, they knew that in the past year, she had been in love with Li Zhi very bitterly, and she didn't want to attract the notoriety of prying her best friend's corner, and it was difficult to suppress her lovesickness, and she had to try to put on a big posture in front of others, and the sour feeling inside was very torturous.

The dignified princess is worth a lot, deigns to do some business with the market, and hires others in the form of employment, if there is no outright love, who can stay alone for so long.

Li Zhi retreated and fled slowly, and just as he was about to turn around, he didn't know what the women said, and there was a burst of laughter, accompanied by Yi Yi's tears and happiness, Li Zhi still decided to stay.

The reason is that the downstairs and inside and outside the courtyard have long been overcrowded, and the second floor has not yet been opened to the public, a rare idle place, and he really has nowhere to go.

Yiyi is twenty years old, one year younger than Qingqi, but this age is already late marriage and late childbearing in the Tang Dynasty.

Tonight, after getting the news brought by the three daughters of Qingqi, at that moment she seemed to feel that she was dreaming, and she didn't know what others would say next, so she was brought here in a daze.

When Li Zhi teased her, Yiyi didn't have any other feelings, only knew the fate of her feelings, and finally settled down, more than a year of grievances, and the depression caused by the fear of being recognized.

Bitterness in grievances, tears in bitterness, joy in tears, joy and shame, laughter in shame, mixed tastes, but when Li Zhi came over and smiled ambiguously, everything turned into a strong sense of love.

This feeling of rebirth after a catastrophe accompanied her to the dinner party where she was taken back to the wine shop, and after receiving more and more meaningful attention, she suddenly realized that she could also help Li Zhi take care of the guests as the hostess.

It's a pity that after she finally stopped being stunned, she saw her brother Guan Ming in the crowd.

At this moment, my brother is looking at himself with a complicated face, although Yiyi knows that her family will not block her choice, but when it comes to really facing it, she is inexplicably empty in her heart!
