Chapter 140, a shot is hard to find
On a street in the capital, a red festive procession walks slowly among the gongs and drums, and the groom in a red robe walks in front on a tall horse, followed by a red festive eight-carried sedan chair, in which a shy bride sits in it.
In the back is a long queue of dowries and dowries, the team is very long, and it is also very festive, beating gongs and drums, carrying the dowry of the dowry, there are hundreds of meters, and it has immediately become the focus of everyone.
"Tut, it's different for this Li Yuanwai family to marry a daughter, just this maid who marries is like a fairy, I can marry this maid, and this life is worth it."
"Come on, you, the young toad wants to eat swan meat, and the maid of this big family is not something you can think of."
"But it's worthy of Li Yuanwai, look at the dowry of this dowry, this box of gold and silver, and this cart of silk and satin..."
"These are all small heads, but I heard that the daughter of Li Yuanwai is married to the son of the fourth rank of the court, and the fertile land outside the capital has taken out 300 acres, and there are two shops in the capital."
"My good man, 300 acres of fertile land~"
On the street, all the people who saw this wedding procession were constantly looking at it with envy and jealousy.
At the same time, it was soon discovered that there was something in the dowry that had never been seen before.
"The one at the front of the dowry is the dresser, and the mirror is too bright."
"That thing?"
"It's the dresser behind the four wedding maids, do you see it, that mirror, it's so bright and big~"
"It's not, I haven't found out yet, there is such a mirror in the world, it's amazing."
"Could this be the kind of mirror that has only been rumored in the capital recently that there are only nine in the palace?"
"It should be, we have seen this bronze mirror before, it is not very bright, and it is not so clear, how much does this mirror cost?"
"Who knows, I've heard that such a large bronze mirror will cost dozens of miles of silver, and such a clear mirror is estimated to cost at least a hundred taels of silver."
Li Yuanwai spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy this mirror, and also placed this mirror in the most conspicuous position, at the front of the dowry pretense.
This dresser made of mahogany is very fine in workmanship, and the design is also very novel, and this mirror is the most eye-catching, and it is deeply remembered by everyone at once.
The capital is a big place, and it is very small, and any little thing will spread throughout the capital in a very short time.
Li Yuanwai's family married their daughter to a brand-new dressing table, on which there was a clear and smooth side, and the matter of nine mirrors that only existed in the palace was also spread throughout the capital at once.
All of a sudden, the Zhang Mansion of Zhang Shaoqing, Li Yuan's maternal in-law, was broken by countless people, and all of them came to the wives and young ladies of various mansions in the capital.
In Zhang's Mansion, in the room of Li Xiaomei, the daughter of Li Yuanwai, a group of celebrities and ladies gathered around and chatted non-stop on the dresser.
"This mirror is really clear, this makeup must have such a dresser."
"But it's not, I'm dying of envy, the more I look at the bronze mirror in the house, the more I can't hold it."
"Sister Li, why don't you transfer this dresser to me?"
"Sister, this is not good, this is what I married, if it is something else, I will give it to you without my sister opening my mouth."
"Also, I'm a strong man, but I really like this dresser too much, I like this mirror too much, I dropped the bronze mirror in my house yesterday, it's really not good, I can't see it clearly."
"Sister, how much money did you spend on this dresser? Where did you buy it from? ”
"I heard my father say that this dresser cost a thousand taels of silver, and I still begged to buy it."
"Sister, can you ask your father to find someone to ask, it doesn't matter how much silver this is, I just want to buy a dresser like this."
"Okay, I'll go back when I turn around, but this mirror is rare and rare, and I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to buy it."
Li Xiaomei now feels very face-saving, because everyone who sees this dresser and this mirror can't help but love it and wants to buy one, but now there is no place to buy it in the entire capital.
Listening to the admiration and envy of the people around her, her vanity was also greatly satisfied, and because of this mirror, there have been a lot more big people who have come to visit the house recently, so his father-in-law and husband also praised her.
Soon, a gust of wind blew in the whole capital.
This big family must have a mirror that can be taken out to marry their daughter, preferably a round mirror with the dresser, and of course, it is best to have a full-body mirror to match.
This is not a big family without a mirror, and it can't be used at all, and when you marry your daughter, you can only sneak around and be a thief, and you don't dare to open the façade and do things.
The mirror has become part of the dowry, and it is still a must, it is something used to fill the façade, and it must not be less, especially for those large families, which is related to the façade, even more so.
The ladies and ladies in the capital must also have a mirror, because the queen mother and queen in the palace have a full-body mirror, and only by looking in the mirror every day can you know that you are more beautiful today than yesterday.
Everyone talks about mirrors the most, and the places they go to the most are also those homes with mirrors, around the mirrors, the ladies and ladies in the capital are going crazy one by one.
Without this thing, I feel that I am outdated, I can't keep up with others, and more importantly, it seems that my own family is not good, there is no grade, and it is a small family.
As for the previous bronze mirror, now everyone feels that it is extremely ugly when they see it, and they can't take it out at all, and they are embarrassed to take it out, afraid of jokes.
All of a sudden, in the entire capital, Luoyang paper was expensive.
Every day, people are asking everywhere where there is a mirror to buy, the price is not a problem, as long as you have the goods, the price is as you like, from time to time there is a mirror in the world, it will immediately cause a rush, it is really hard to find.
Not only is there someone in the capital who continues to buy mirrors, some people continue to rob the mirror, as the news continues to spread out, more and more people know about this magical mirror, there are many foreign businessmen also began to buy mirrors, this butterfly effect has appeared, everything here in the capital of Daming is the wind vane indicator of the entire Daming.
Mirrors are popular here in the capital, and it will soon drive the crazy demand for mirrors throughout the Ming Dynasty.
