Chapter 867: Mirror
Chen Xin retreated, and did not go to the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion again, but just sent someone to tell the eldest grandson Wuji, this matter is not allowed.
Just one sentence is enough to explain everything.
In a word, his daughter married Yan Liben.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, has been waiting for news in the house.
After hearing these words from Chen Xin's subordinates, he was very angry.
He didn't expect that Chen Xin didn't gain anything at all, and he didn't even say a word to himself, but just sent a subordinate.
Angry, especially angry.
But in addition to being angry, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to do anything to Chen Xin for a while.
His eldest grandson's family is indeed powerful, but Chen Xin is not weak.
Originally, the two of them wanted to be stronger, but it turned out to be unpleasant because of this incident.
The eldest grandson Wuji is a smart person, but because he was too angry, he didn't think about the relationship behind it at this time, and when he figured it out in the future, Chen Xuanxuan and Yan Liben had already cooked raw rice, and they couldn't regret it anymore.
Chang'an City lived like this, and the weather in early autumn was surprisingly good.
And at this time, there was a small country in the Western Regions that paid tribute to the imperial court some of their specialties.
It was a transparent thing, a bit like a diamond, after the ministers of the court and the central government saw it, they didn't know what these things were, and after Li Yu saw it, he was stunned for a moment, because the thing that the small country in the Western Regions paid tribute to was the glass of the rotten street in the later generations.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in later generations, but in this era, it is very rare, because in the small country of the Western Regions, this kind of thing is generally made into handicrafts.
Of course, this kind of glass is not artificially produced by them, but because they have a mineral in the small country of the Western Regions, which immediately produces this kind of thing, and they later found that this kind of thing can change shape at will after being heated, so they began to make handicrafts.
And, sell these things to other countries.
Today's Tang Kingdom is getting stronger and more famous, and the small country in the Western Regions wants to have a relationship with Tang Guopan, so it got some of these things.
In addition to glass that has not been processed, there are also a variety of crafts.
The handicrafts are particularly good-looking, and the glass that has not been processed is transparent, and there is nothing.
The ministers don't know about these things, but they can't put down those handicrafts, but Li Yu has the idea of glass.
"Since you Aiqing like these handicrafts, let's take them and divide them, I want these glasses, by the way, tell the small country in the Western Regions, let them send me more glasses to Tang Kingdom, how much, how much I want."
"Glass? What a good name for the saints. ”
"Yes, yes, these two words have an indescribable beauty."
"Good words, good words......"
Everyone was not interested in Li Yu's unprocessed glass, everyone just thought that naming this thing glass was poetic.
Li Yu's side couldn't help but smile bitterly, these people are really putting the cart before the horse.
The handicrafts were divided among the ministers, and the remaining glass was carried into the harem.
Queen Su Rong was a little strange when she saw that Li Yu asked for these things.
"Holy Lord, what do you want these things to do, looking at these things, they don't seem to have any special effect other than being transparent, right?"
Seeing that Su Rong was puzzled, Li Yu smiled: "This is a good thing, after I process it, I will give it to the queen a few pieces, and ensure that the queen likes it very much." ”
Hearing this, Su Rong pursed her lips and said, "The saint is really good at laughing, such glass is not very good-looking, how can the concubine like it so much, it is as if the concubine has never seen anything." ”
Li Yu said: "After you see it, you will understand." ”
After saying this, Li Yu instructed the palace people to fetch him some materials, and there were many of them, the most important of which was mercury.
After getting the things, Li Yu divided the glass, this is still very easy, you can find some diamonds to divide, fortunately, there are no other things in the palace, there are a lot of diamonds.
Li Mu divided a lot of these glasses, some were very large, not divided, and some were divided into several, he mainly wanted to use these things to make mirrors.
Mirrors, there are big and small, the small ones are held in the hand, and the big ones are used to look at the whole body.
After dividing it like this, Tang Yu mixed the mercury and then smeared it on one side of the mirror, Su Rong was very strange when she saw this, and she didn't understand what Li Yu was doing when she smeared the mercury on the back.
The mixture of mercury and others dried up quickly, and then Li Mu set up a large mirror.
"Queen, let's take a look."
Su Rong was very curious, so she really came to the front to take a look, and after she took such a look, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise, because in the mirror, there was an identical him.
Lifelike.
"Holy Lord, this ...... What the hell is going on? ”
In this era, women use copper mirrors to make up, and the copper mirrors can only see a general outline, which is really not as clear as the mirror, and seeing the people in the mirror at this time is like seeing a self, Su Rong was of course shocked.
Of course, she had never seen herself like she did now, in fact, even she didn't know exactly what she looked like, of course, some details, not outlines.
The woman in the mirror is graceful and luxurious, giving people a very atmospheric feeling, Su Rong can't believe it, is this herself?
Li Yu saw Su Rong's appearance and smiled: "This is called a mirror, which is different from the copper mirror we usually use, this kind of mirror can completely reflect the appearance of a person in it, even if it is one of your eyelashes or a mole, this thing is better than a copper mirror?" ”
Seeing that she was so beautiful inside, of course Su Rong liked it very much, almost, there was no woman who didn't like to look in the mirror.
"Good, good, this thing on the Holy One is so good."
"Does the queen like it very much?"
"Yes, yes, of course yes."
Li Yu smiled: "What did the queen say before?" ”
At this time, Su Rong realized that Li Yu was making fun of her, and couldn't help pouting: "The saint is really stingy, I still remember what I said before." ”
The two of them made a joke, and then Tang Yu sent someone to send some things to Qi Rou and the Red Whisk Girl, and they also kept a little for themselves, and let people take the rest to Jia Yanfu and let him find a way to sell it.
Such a mirror is definitely a good thing, there is no such thing as not being able to sell, and even, if there are really many of this thing, it can be sold to other countries as a specialty of the Tang Kingdom, just like beer. After all, no matter who you are, you have to look in the mirror every day.
