Chapter 139, the value of this thousand taels of flowers

"Buying a mirror?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his little eyes immediately narrowed happily, and he said to Zhao Erhu excitedly: "Hurry up and talk about it." ”

"This is the news I just heard here in the capital, saying that there is a big family who marries their daughter and wants to ask for a mirror as a dowry, and is willing to pay five hundred taels of silver, five hundred taels of silver, can we sell it?"

Zhao Erhu was also making a comparison while talking, although he had seen a little bit of the world after following Liu Jin, but it was still difficult for him to understand the matter of buying a mirror for five hundred taels of silver, and he was even more excited when he said the end.

"If you don't sell it, it's only five hundred taels of silver, what kind of big family is this, it's just an average level, I thought it could be as high."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.

This takes the route of high-end atmosphere and grade, which cannot be too cheap at the beginning, otherwise the price will not be easy to raise later.

People buy things like this, at the beginning of the cheap, after the sale of more expensive, everyone is not willing to accept, if the beginning of the sale is very expensive, after a slight drop in the price, everyone will feel very cheap, people's hearts, since ancient times.

Five hundred taels of silver was far from meeting Liu Jin's expectations, so he didn't plan to sell it at all, and he had to wait a little longer.

"Lao Liu, I think we can sell it, but sell the smaller ones out, so that more people can see this mirror first, and naturally more people will want to buy this mirror."

"People like to compare, the more people know, the more people who pursue the mirror, especially to let those celebrities and ladies experience the magic of this mirror, our price can be sold."

"If you just hang like this, maybe everyone's appetite will be gone."

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a while, thought about it and said.

His words made Liu Jin couldn't help but look at him with admiration, he didn't expect that he could still take this layer into account, and it made sense to think about it carefully.

If this mirror is to be sold at a high price, it is natural to release a small amount of it first, so that some people can experience the magic of this mirror first, so that more people will come to buy it.

"Brother Zhu, you're right, you should release a small amount of it, and let out some small mirrors first."

Liu Jin thought about it and supported Zhu Houzhao's opinion, and then said to Zhao Erhu: "Let out some small mirrors first." ”

……

Li Yuanwai's house is full of lights, people are busy, Li Yuanwai's only daughter is going to get married, the husband's family is the youngest son of a four-grade member in the court, although it is not the eldest son, but this Li Yuanwai's daughter is also a wife in the past, and her status is very good, and more importantly, this future son-in-law is still a scholar, and he has been admitted to Xiucai, just waiting for the autumn to be lifted, and next year's gold list will be titled.

Although Li Yuanwai is a big landowner, he has thousands of acres of fertile land outside the capital, and there are several shops in the capital, and his family is rich.

But it is far from the fourth-grade member of the court, so he attaches great importance to this family business, not to mention that the daughter who married out is also his only daughter.

Li Yuanwai is afraid of this little daughter in his mouth, and he is afraid of falling in his hand, he has been pampered since he was a child, and now his daughter's husband is very satisfied with him.

In order to let his youngest daughter not be despised when she arrives at her husband's house, she can have a certain right to speak, and if her son can be promoted in the future, it is natural to ask her in-laws to help her in this career.

Three hundred acres of fertile land outside the capital were taken out, two of the best shops in the capital were also taken out, and as for all kinds of silk and satin, they were filled with several carts, several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and four young maids to marry......

"Giving birth to a daughter is really a money-losing thing."

Li Yuanwai looked at the dowry piled up in the room, and couldn't help but sigh, this rich family marries their daughters to make some dowry money, and this rich big family marries their daughters to lose money.

"Master, master, I've bought a mirror, I've bought a mirror."

Just when Li Yuanwai was distressed about his property, the housekeeper came over with a few people carrying something like a dresser.

"Got a mirror?"

When Li Yuanwai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Recently, there has been a mirror wind blowing in the capital, it is said that there are nine large mirrors in the palace in the capital, which are very clear, and can illuminate the person in detail, and the courtiers have to complete their own appearance at the door when they enter the Taihe Palace.

I don't know where a gust of wind blew from to say that this marriage must have a mirror to be considered a big family, the previous kind of copper mirror has been eliminated and outdated, and it can't be on the table at all, and it can't be graded.

For his daughter's marriage, Li Yuanwai is extra attentive, although it costs a lot of money, but the money should be spent, and for this mirror, it is natural for people to pay a lot of money to buy one.

In any case, you have to buy one side, and it doesn't matter how much money you have, it's okay to have your own family, but your own family is a person with status and status, and you can't lose the face of the other party.

"I bought it, I bought it, and it cost a whole thousand taels of silver to finally buy this mirror."

The butler didn't even have time to breathe, and raised a finger and said.

"One thousand taels of silver!"

When Li Yuanwai heard this, he couldn't help but feel black in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that the housekeeper in front of him was an old man who had been with him for decades, he would have wondered if the other party had lied to him.

"Yes, the 1,000 taels of silver were sold to me by the other party after I wore out my mouth, and the other party originally wanted to keep it for his own use."

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, then said to the person who carried the mirror: "Lift the cloth, this thousand taels of silver is actually worth it, and this dresser is definitely the best dowry." ”

Li Yuanwai looked at the dresser, which was made of mahogany, painted with red lacquer, engraved with cloud patterns, and a small drawer that could be used to put things.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there is a round mirror the size of a basin on the dresser, which is extremely smooth and very clear, and everything in front of it is clearly illuminated.

"It's really subtle and clear."

Li Yuanwai looked carefully at the mirror, touched it, and was a little unbelievable, this is the first time to see such a clear mirror, to see his appearance clearly, compared to the previous bronze mirror, I don't know how many times.

"The value of this thousand taels of silver!"
