Chapter 712: Dowry Magic Mirror (2-in-1)
“…… After giving birth to her daughter, the queen named him Snow White, and soon after, the queen died. Merton carefully recalled the contents of Snow White and spoke with emotion.
"Hey!"
Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang couldn't help but sigh sadly when they heard what happened to Snow White, compared to Snow White, they were also very lucky.
"Snow White also has a father, and she must be very fond of her." Princess Changle looked at the disappointed expressions of the two, and hurriedly comforted the two.
"A year later, the king married a new wife, very ......beautiful," Merton continued, and suddenly his back was cold, and Princess Changle looked at her with murderous disdain.
Merton smiled awkwardly, he didn't deliberately tear down the stage, but the story was like this, so he had to tell it head-on:
The new queen has a magic mirror and every morning asks: "Magic mirror, sunglasses, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?" The mirror always replied, "Of course it's you!" My Queen. ”
The new queen was delighted, because the magic mirror never lied until Snow White was seven years old, and when the queen asked his mirror again, she replied, "My queen, you are naturally the most beautiful here, but Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you." ””
"I knew Snow White was the most beautiful." Li Zhi cheered excitedly.
"What a magical magic mirror, my son also wants such a magic mirror!" Princess Jinyang longed, she is no longer small, and gradually has a love for beauty, even Princess Changle on the side can't help nodding again and again, who doesn't want to have such a magical magic mirror?
"Magic Mirror!"
Merton's heart moved, and he couldn't help but walk back and forth.
"What's wrong with Merton!" Princess Changle couldn't help but worry when she saw Merton suddenly stand up and smirk.
Merton looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with a smug face: "Hahaha, I finally found the best thing for the dowry." ”
"Ahh Princess Changle's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "You still mention this at this time?" ”
"What is so valuable!" Li Tai couldn't help but be curious, you must know that the dowry promised by Merton is a thousand times for the hir, and ten thousand dollars for the gift, which is not something that can be done simply.
Merton said proudly: "A magic mirror that can shine on the most beautiful woman in the world!" ”
"Magic Mirror?" Everyone looked at each other, wasn't the magic mirror just telling a fairy tale? Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang believe it, they naturally don't believe it, can they really create a mirror that doesn't lie and can talk.
Morton smiled and said nothing, although Datang also has mirrors, but most of them are bronze mirrors, not to mention the high price, and it is not satisfactory to use them to shine on people. Now that he has flat glass, it is not logical to make mirrors that are common in later generations.
When a mirror that will show people's faces will appear in front of the world, how shocking it will be, when people see their true faces clearly in the mirror for the first time, there is no room for a trace of falsehood, this is not a magic mirror that does not lie and can speak?
As Zheng Chonghua said, Merton naturally does not defile his love with gold and silver, but an unprecedented magical mirror is incomparably precious and can represent his heart.
"Can you really make a magic mirror like this?" Li Chengqian said in surprise.
Merton nodded solemnly, looked at Princess Changle and said softly: "Five days later, I will go to the palace with the dowry to ask for marriage!" ”
"Kissing!" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and instantly quieted down, and their eyes kept going back and forth in front of Princess Changle and Merton.
Princess Changle was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly reacted, and her face turned red to her neck.
"Ahh I'll go back to the palace first! ”
When Princess Changle heard this, she couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and left with a blushing face, she just opened up again, and heard Morton say to her face that she would go to the palace to ask for relatives in five days, and she couldn't stay anymore, so she hurriedly left.
Princess Changle got up to leave and left in a hurry, Li Chengqian and the others naturally couldn't sit down, so they immediately got up and prepared to leave.
"Ahh Snow White hasn't finished talking yet, is she? Princess Jinyang reluctantly said, for him, such a beautiful fairy tale is more precious than anything else.
Merton shook his head and said, "Don't worry, son, I will write the complete story later and send it to the palace, and I will definitely not disappoint you." ”
"Alright then!" Princess Jinyang nodded sensibly.
"This king hasn't eaten enough delicious cakes yet!" Li Zhi touched his fat belly and salivated.
Imperial Chef Zhou, who was already waiting on the side, said repeatedly: "Your Royal Highness the King of Jin, rest assured, the villain has already prepared a new cake, and His Royal Highness can naturally taste it slowly when he returns to the palace."
"I'm going to bring one for my father, queen mother, too." Princess Jinyang hurriedly said.
"Good! Good! Yes, the villain has prepared a lot. Zhou Yuchu said repeatedly, the birthday cake was so successful, in fact, he was pleasantly surprised, and even the prince and princess loved it, not to mention ordinary teenagers, once it was launched, it would definitely be popular in Chang'an City.
When Li Tai on the side heard this, he suddenly said with a heartbeat: "Give this king a copy too." ”
The reason why he is so fat is because he can't control his mouth, and how can he let go of such a delicious cake.
After Li Tai finished speaking, he thought of the previous statement that Mo Dun closed his mouth and opened his legs, and couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "This king will definitely practice for half an hour when he goes back, but Brother Mo, this king is looking forward to how magical your magic mirror is." ”
Li Chengqian walked at the end and threatened in a low voice: "You'd better be able to make it, otherwise, you just wait!" ”
Merton laughed, not at all at ease at the threat of the mad demon Li Chengqian, and also said in a low voice: "You just wait to be the eldest brother!" ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately snorted, brushed his sleeves and left, for Mo Ji, Mo Dun has never missed, since Mo Dun said so, I am afraid that it will be a foregone conclusion after five days, and his eldest brother should be decided.
In front of the ice cream parlor, Merton watched the carriages leave, and suddenly breathed a heavy sigh of relief, now all he needed was to build a mirror in these five days.
"Let's go too!" Merton waved his hand and left with Wu Meiniang, now that he has little time, he naturally has to race against time.
Everyone left, Zhou Yuchu walked out of the hall with confidence, and a guy suddenly shouted: "The ice cream shop has launched a new birthday cake, welcome to taste it for free!" ”
The unique shape of the ice cream shop has already attracted the attention of well-intentioned people, and when they heard the shouting of the guys, many people immediately gathered. Ice cream parlors are no strangers to everyone, and in the summer, it is a rare pleasure to eat delicious ice cream, but in the winter, the attraction of ice cream to everyone is naturally minimized.
"Free tasting?" When everyone heard that they were free to taste, they couldn't help but move their hearts and stepped forward one after another.
"Is it really a free tasting?" A common man could not believe it.
"That's nature, I'm waiting for him to be innocent." Zhou Yuchu stood in front of the ice cream parlor, cut a large piece of birthday cake into small pieces, and gave it to everyone to taste for free, while loudly promoting the meaning of the birthday and the process of the birthday party.
"Delicious!"
After tasting a piece, many people were immediately conquered by the deliciousness of the birthday cake, and at the same time, they were also thrilled by the meaning of the birthday party. After all, in any era, the love of any parent and child is the same, and there are many wealthy people in Chang'an City.
"How do you sell this birthday cake?" Many people inquired that such delicious food must be worth a lot of money.
Seeing that everyone's intentions were very high, Zhou Yuchu couldn't help but show a smile and said loudly: "Anyone who orders a birthday cake in our store within the first month can enjoy a half-price discount, and you want to buy it from a first-come-first-served basis." ”
"Half price?" Everyone was suddenly excited.
Zhou Yuchu showed a smug smile and said: "Selling at half price, the ice cream shop is not profitable at all, but birthday parties and birthday cakes are new things, and the only way to open up the market and attract customers is this."
A total of 12 months a year, I am afraid that one of the twelve people who have a birthday in the first month, many people who taste the delicious cake, can't help but be excited, the half-price cake can be said to be extremely discounted, plus if there are children in the family who are close to their birthdays, I am afraid that this gift is more meaningful than anything.
Soon many people were moved and came forward to ask, after all, there are not many birthdays in the first month, and there are even two citizens who have children celebrating their birthdays today, and they directly bought two birthday cakes on the spot, and many families who have had two birthdays have placed orders.
However, most people are just waiting and seeing, firstly, although the birthday cake is still not cheap at half price, and secondly, many families do not have children who have a birthday today, even if they are tempted, they will not buy it immediately.
Zhou Yuchu saw less than ten orders in his hand, and couldn't help but show a confident smile, children will show off the most, once a child has a birthday, it will definitely spread all around, he believes that these ten orders are just the beginning, over time, birthday cakes and birthday parties, will definitely be popular throughout Chang'an City.
……………………
"Stop!"
In the palace, with a stern reprimand, several cautious figures were suddenly frozen.
Empress Li Shimin, who had a stern face, strode over accompanied by her and looked at the brothers and sisters in front of her in disbelief.
"You guys are ..................!" Li Shimin couldn't believe that his filial son and good daughter just went out of the palace once, and she turned into an embarrassed appearance and came back.
"Clever! What's going on? Empress Changsun had a stern face Li Chengqian said, Li Chengqian personally took the lead in proposing to leave the palace today, and now that he is coming back in such an embarrassment, he naturally wants to find Li Chengqian's responsibility.
"It's smeared with some birthday cakes, and it's fine." Li Chengqian argued.
"Birthday cake?" Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun looked at each other and said.
"Merton celebrated my sister's birthday party, and the birthday cake I made was the cake I brought back to my father and mother, and it was delicious." Princess Jinyang said with a face of treasure.
"We also sang birthday songs! Merton also told the story...... "Li Zhi was not to be left behind.
Soon, Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang said a word to me, told me all about this trip, and pointed out each other's bad behavior of touching the cake.
"Mo Jiazi!"
Li Shimin immediately gritted his teeth, he knew that as soon as his good child was with the Mo family, he would immediately change as a person.
"That's right! What about Changle? Didn't she go out with you? Empress Changsun suddenly found that today's protagonist was not there, and couldn't help but wonder.
"Merton said that he proposed marriage after the fifth day, and his sister had already come back first." Li Zhi couldn't hide his words and said directly.
"Propose marriage after five days?" Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were shocked and couldn't help but glance at each other.
"So, Merton has found a way to solve the bride price!" Empress Changsun said in her heart, Changle is already sixteen years old, she has been married for several years at Changle's age, and now Changle has reached the age of marriage, Queen Changsun is naturally worried about Princess Changle's marriage.
"Hmm!" The four nodded solemnly.
"Cheng Qian, you tell me all the details of this trip!" Li Shimin said with a solemn face.
"Yes! Father! Li Chengqian's face suddenly turned bitter, but in the end he had to give it all out.
When they heard that Merton had gone to great lengths to prepare for Princess Changle's birthday party, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were a little pale.
"Magic Mirror?" Empress Eldest Sun was shocked, "Could it be that Merton's dowry is such a magic mirror!" ”
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "The magic mirror is just a fictional fairy tale story of Merton, naturally it cannot be true, but Merton's dowry must be a mirror." ”
Li Shimin sneered: "There are so many in the Bronze Mirror Palace, and he is still missing a mirror!" ”
If Merton really took out a mirror, he would probably laugh off his big teeth, not only Changle would become a laughing stock, but even the reputation of the entire royal family would probably be affected in the same way.
"I don't know, but looking at Merton's confident appearance, I think this mirror will definitely be unique." Li Chengqian said.
Li Shimin's heart was stunned, if it were someone else, he would naturally not believe that a mirror was so precious, but for the Mo family, who had repeatedly turned decay into magic, he just felt that no matter how incredible it was, he had to think twice, after all, there were too many incredible things in Merton's hands.
"Then I will wait for him for five days, if he can't make it, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless and punish him for the crime of bullying the king." Li Shimin said hatefully.
"Alright, alright, Merton is not a man without purpose." Empress Eldest Sun persuaded softly, Merton's various magical performances were in front of her, and Empress Eldest Sun naturally had some confidence in her.
"Why don't you guys go freshen up!" Li Shimin reprimanded angrily.
Suddenly, Li Chengqian and several people scattered like birds and beasts, and they did not forget to leave in a noisy manner along the way.
"These unconscious children!" Li Shimin said angrily.
Empress Changsun looked at the backs of several people, showing thoughtful expressions, she keenly noticed that after the birthday party, the relationship between their brothers and sisters was obviously much more intimate.
