Chapter 61: The Clever Way
"Sister! Sister! Zhu Yunxi came to her sister's room happily, and shouted loudly as soon as she entered the door.
"What are you so happy about?" Zhu Yuning, who was reading a book, couldn't help but ask with a smile when he saw Zhu Yunxi running in with an excited face.
"A good thing for you!" Zhu Yunxi leaned in front of his sister with a mysterious face, and then took out the glass mirror given to him by Li Jie from his arms and sent it to Zhu Yuning.
"What is this?" Zhu Yuning picked up the glass mirror and asked curiously.
"Sister, you will know when you open it!" Zhu Yunxi didn't explain, but said mysteriously again, he wanted to surprise his sister.
Looking at the younger brother who pretended to be mysterious, Zhu Yuning also smiled dumbly, and then gently opened the box, but saw the delicate girl in the mirror at a glance, which made her cover her mouth in shock, it was the first time she had seen herself so clearly.
"This ...... This ......" Zhu Yuning pointed to the mirror in shock, as if he had thought of something, but he was speechless for a while.
"This is the legendary glass mirror, which was given to me by Li Banyu!" Zhu Yunxi also smiled very proudly when he saw his sister's shocked appearance, in his impression, in addition to protecting herself, her sister is usually very stable, but she didn't expect to be so out of shape because of a mirror.
"It's really a legendary glass mirror, and it really lives up to its name!" Zhu Yuning held the mirror with both hands and said excitedly again, thanks to Li Shanchang's blessing, the rumors of the glass mirror are not only known all over the city, but even heard about it in the palace, especially for women, they are more like seeing the legendary first mirror in the world.
Thinking that the mirror that had been missed by countless women was actually held in the palm of her hand, Zhu Yuning couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, but then she calmed down, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi with some suspicion and said, "Why did Li Banyu give you the mirror?" ”
"That's the condition I promised if I lost the bet!" Zhu Yunxi also sat down very happily, and then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all, he didn't expect Li Jie's conditions to be so simple, and even for him, it was simply a beautiful difference.
"You lost and he gave you a mirror?" Zhu Yuning didn't understand it even more.
"That's right, this mirror was not given to me for nothing, but what did Li Banyu ask me to ......make for him" Zhu Yunxi seemed to have forgotten a little when he said this, and after thinking for a while, he patted his thigh and said, "By the way, it's called advertising, that is, advertising, so that more people know the ...... of the mirror."
Zhu Yunxi said that Li Jie was going to set up a mirror workshop and then asked him to help with advertising.
Zhu Yuning listened to her brother's story, and at first she felt normal, but the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, after all, she was not as easy to fool as Zhu Yunxi.
"Li Banyu also said, let me give the mirror to the noble woman in the palace, because the woman is the most interested in the mirror, I didn't even think about it, and I just came to give it to you, Sister!" Zhu Yunxi finally added again.
"Stupid, you don't even know you're being used!" After hearing this, Zhu Yuning stretched out her finger and pointed at her younger brother's forehead, but when she spoke, her face was full of shame, and her delicate cheeks seemed to be dripping blood.
"What was being used?" Zhu Yunxi didn't know why, he was obviously just doing Li Jie a favor, how could he be used?
"You ......" Looking at his stone-headed younger brother, Zhu Yuning was also ashamed and anxious, but he couldn't explain it.
In fact, this matter is indeed a little trick played by Li Jie, the popularity of the mirror has long been opened, and there is no need to advertise at all, the reason why he gave the mirror to Zhu Yunxi, and also told him to let him give it to a noble woman in the palace, in fact, is to let Zhu Yunxi give it to Zhu Yuning, because you don't have to think about it to know that Zhu Yunxi's mother died early, and the closest person is of course his sister who has always protected him, so he will definitely give the mirror to Zhu Yuning.
The smart Zhu Yuning naturally saw through Li Jie's tricks at a glance, she grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and this is the first time she has received a gift from a strange man, and this gift is not only valuable, but also sent to her own hands in a very ingenious way, which makes Zhu Yuning also feel like a deer in her heart, the hot blood in her whole body seems to be concentrated on her head, and her pretty face is also hot.
"Sister, what's wrong with you, why are you so red, are you sick?" Zhu Yunxi finally discovered her sister's abnormality at this time, and immediately asked with concern.
"I ......" Zhu Yuning couldn't explain, and he was even more embarrassed to explain, after all, it was too difficult for a girl who was just starting to fall in love, and at Zhu Yunxi's age, he might not understand this.
"Anyway, that Li Jie is not a good person, I don't want this mirror!" Zhu Yuning seemed a little annoyed and angry under the gaze of his younger brother, and after speaking, he stuffed the mirror into Zhu Yunxi's hand and turned around and ran into the bedroom.
"Li Jie is not a good person?" Zhu Yunxi was confused, he had grown so big, or was it the first time he had seen his sister behave so abnormally?
"Sister, you really don't want this mirror?" Zhu Yunxi looked at the mirror in his hand and was a little embarrassed, he was thinking about whether to give it to the second sister?
As a result, as soon as Zhu Yunxi's words fell, he saw Zhu Yuning suddenly rush out of the room again, snatch the mirror and run into the room.
Now Zhu Yunxi is even more confused, what's wrong with her sister today? Just now I said that Li Jie is not a good person, and he doesn't want a mirror, but he snatched the mirror back in a blink of an eye, is this want or not?
What Zhu Yunxi didn't know was that when Zhu Yuning snatched back the mirror and ran into the bedroom, he plunged into the quilt and covered his head with the quilt, like an ostrich.
After a long time, Zhu Yuning quietly pulled the quilt open a crack, and then drove all the palace maids out of the room, and then opened the mirror in her hand gently, but when she saw her blushing face in the mirror, she suddenly covered herself in the quilt and didn't dare to look at her face again.
At the same time, Li Jie hummed a little song and returned home, but he didn't expect that there were guests at home, and his father Li Zhu was also drinking tea in the living room with the other party.
"Brother Mu? What are you doing here? "The person in the living room is Mu Sheng, who has not been seen for many days, since Li Jie told Mu Sheng that his eldest brother Mu Chun is likely to have no heirs, this kid is immediately high-spirited, and has been soaking in the barracks to train his musketeers, and now the new flintlock pistol has been prioritized for Mu Sheng's subordinates to try.
"Brother Li, my father will be in the capital the day after tomorrow, and he will review the three shots of the flintlock pistol, and today I also officially want to invite you to participate, and I also want to introduce you to my father, I don't know if you have time?" Mu Sheng stepped forward excitedly, with flintlock pistols and paper-wrapped bullets, his musket army had already achieved results, and it would definitely surprise his father at that time.
"Okay, I've heard of the name of Xiping Hou for a long time, and I will definitely go then!" Li Jie was also very happy when he heard this, Mu Ying is an expert in the use of firearms, and he invented the three-stage strike, Li Jie originally started with firearms, of course, he also wanted to get acquainted with this Xiping Hou.
Seeing Li Jie agree, Mu Ying was also very happy, and immediately the two chatted a few more words, originally Li Jie wanted to leave him for dinner, but Mu Sheng said that there were still many things to prepare in the army, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
After sending Mu Sheng away, Li Jie and his father Li Zhu returned to the living room, watching his son become more and more promising, Li Zhu also said with some emotion: "Jie'er, you are now the prince's companion, and you have met a powerful man in the army like Xiping Hou, and your future future is immeasurable, much better than me, who is a father." ”
"Father, what do you say about this, no matter how good I am, isn't it still what you taught?" Li Jie finally joked with a smile.
Hearing his son's words, Li Zhu also laughed, but then he showed a hesitant look, and after a while, he spoke: "Jie'er, your fifth uncle came to me today!" ”
"Fifth uncle?" Li Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but laugh, "Did the fifth uncle find you by himself, or did my grandfather ask the fifth uncle to come to you?" ”
Li Jie's estimation is also time, after all, he has already achieved the prince's companionship, although the current official position is not high, but everyone knows that his future is immeasurable, and his grandfather may not be able to sit still.
Sure enough, I saw Li Zhu also smiled a little bitterly and said: "You, you're really getting smarter, yes, your grandfather asked your fifth uncle to come, and he wanted us to go back." ”
"Don't go!" Li Jie refused without thinking about it.
At the last birthday banquet, Li Shanchang kicked their father and son out of the house in front of so many people, and now he sees that he has a future, but he wants them to go back, it is simply a beckon, a wave of leave, what does he think of himself? Grandson? Well, he is really his grandson, but he has long made up his mind not to want Li Shanchang as a grandfather.
"Don't be angry, I understand your grandfather's temperament, it's already very rare for him to let your fifth uncle come to us back, and this is also a rare opportunity, let's go back and say a few good words, and then ......"
"Father, have you forgotten what I said at the beginning, the Korean government is in trouble, let's go back now, it's like killing ourselves!" Before Li Zhu finished speaking, Li Jie interrupted him.
"This ......" Li Zhu didn't know how to say it when he heard this, although he felt that Li Jie's judgment was very reasonable, but he still couldn't let go of his flesh and blood affection, and he still had a trace of luck now, what if His Majesty didn't plan to move the Korean Mansion?
"Father, don't leave anything to chance!" Li Jie also saw through Li Zhu's thoughts, but he could also understand his father's entanglement, so he finally said again, "Father, if you want to go, then go back, but you must remember that you must persuade your grandfather to leave Beijing as soon as possible, only in this way can you escape the catastrophe, otherwise no one can save him!" ”
"This ...... All right! Li Zhu was finally moved by Li Jie's words, but when he thought of persuading his father to leave Beijing, Li Zhu suddenly felt hot on his face. Last time, he didn't listen to Li Jie's persuasion, and ran to persuade Li Shanchang, but he was slapped in the face, this time he went to say the same thing, I don't know if Li Shanchang will get angry again?
