The highlight is about to be staged: the eldest woman Wei Chi Chi Fan meets the younger woman Yang Lihua, and the head of the family, Yu Wenwen, presides over the meeting, of course, some taboo lines have been reiterated several times.

Before the opening, the eldest lady also wanted to dress up carefully, so as not to lose her momentum in front of the little woman, but was stopped by the head of the family.

This is the second time they have met, the first time was at the palace banquet at the end of February this year, Yang Lihua and the other three queens were re-canonized, and the newlywed Yan'er's Wei Chi Chi entered the palace to celebrate.

That night, Yu Chi Chi Fan was forcibly drunk by Yang Lihua's husband Yu Wenyun and almost **, and Yu Wenyun was almost killed by Yu Chi Chi Fan's husband Yu Wenwen, and both husbands had their own plans and ended up failing.

Now there have been subtle changes in the identities of the two sides, Wei Chi Chifan is still the duchess of Xiyang County, and Yang Lihua has abandoned the high-ranking status of the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty and is willing to be the side room of the Duke of Xiyang County.

On that day, Yang Lihua was the monarch and Chi Chi Fan was a minister, and now Yu Chi Chi Fan is the eldest woman Yang Lihua is a little woman, Yu Wenwen looked at the two stunning women on the side and couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings: his wife Wei Chi Chifan's appearance is not first-class, and the pretty queen mother Yang Lihua is slightly inferior in appearance, but it is also 'superb', the two beauties have different styles, and it is really a dream to be able to accompany them.

However, in his opinion, Wei Chi Chifan's 'preemptive' to perform the courtesy of his subordinates was supported by Yang Lihua, the 'palace fighting master', and the Empress Dowager Qiao immediately 'defended and counterattacked' to perform the gift of the servant, but was stopped by Wei Chi Chifan's 'seeing' sinister intentions.

In fact, Yuwenwen thought too much, because he had already laid the groundwork in advance, and with a buffer, the two sides didn't dare to have any 'excesses' when they met, so it was natural to recognize the sisters.

It's just that as Wei Chi Chifan in the main room, he is five years younger than Yang Lihua in the side room, and the name of this sister who is reversed in age is a little incongruous.

Seeing that the scene was easing, Yu Wenwen retreated left and right and let the housekeeper Li Sanjiu in, Yang Lihua didn't recognize this person, but when she heard Yu Wenwen say that he was a eunuch in the palace, his name was Li Sanjiu, and he suddenly stood in shock.

At the end of February, the assassination of the emperor in the palace had the effect of the disappearance of the Duchess of Xiyang County, Wei Chi Chifan, and Yang Lihua heard a report from her close attendants that the young eunuch Li Sanjiu, who had disappeared at the same time, had taken him away for the sake of the Assassins, and Li Sanjiu was identified as a fellow Assassin.

There are many in this kind of small eunuch palace, as the queen, she has no reason to remember his appearance or even his name, and now seeing Li Sanjiu, who has disappeared for a long time, is standing in front of her, and has become Yuwenwen's housekeeper, Yang Lihua has a storm in her heart.

Li Sanjiu was also a little trembling, he was once a humble little eunuch in the palace, if he was still in the palace, then the former queen and current queen mother Yang Lihua could kill him like pinching an ant to death with just one sentence.

He didn't know what means Lord Lang had used to bring back this noble man who was high in the world of the Mother of Heaven, if he hadn't explained in advance, he was afraid that he would have to kneel down and kowtow when he suddenly met.

For the sake of Mrs. Lang and the emperor, he also brought the little princess this time, what else does Lord Lang dare not do!

Before Yang Lihua could think about it, Yu Wenwen was in front of his second daughter and Li Sanjiu, and at the palace banquet at the end of February, Yu Wenwen, the emperor of Tianyuan, Yu Wenyun, forcibly drunk Wei Chi Chifan's bad intentions, and the little eunuch Li Sanjiu bravely took Yu Chi Chifan out of the palace in the chaos.

Yuwen Wen was kind to Li Sanjiu, he saw that the emperor intended to be unkind to Duchess En, and he was anxious in his heart, and it happened that the assassin attacked, and the scene was chaotic, so in order to repay the favor, he took Yu Chi Chi out of the palace and went to the house of an old eunuch who lost his position and was driven out of the palace.

Of course, it's impossible to say that 'it was me who assassinated your husband that night and left you on the side of the road', or it is impossible to say it for the time being.

Yuwen Wen just said that Li Sanjiu took Yu Chi Chi Fan and hid for nearly a month, until Emperor Tianyuan was assassinated, and did not contact Yu Wenwen.

Yang Lihua knew very well about her ex-husband Yu Wenyun's ugly behavior that night, and after hearing this, she got up to apologize to Wei Chi Chi and was supported by the other party, and this page was turned over.

The eldest woman saw that the little woman ended safely, as for whether the bloody palace fighting drama will be staged in the future, then take a step by step, settle down and take a picture, after finishing dinner, bathing and changing clothes, Yu Wenwen pulled Yu Chi Chifan back to the room to talk in detail.

The head of the family shook his majesty and said to the eldest woman, You bit a mark on your husband's arm today, do you have any meaning, Yu Chi blushed and fell into his arms silently, lowering his head.

Yu Wenwen did not rush to implement the 'family law', but hugged his wife and talked about the pain of missing, and the young couple who had been separated for nearly five months complained to each other and told each other the bits and pieces of their lives during this time.

The head of the family brought his 'adventures' in Chang'an one by one: the main hall 'teased' Yang Jian's nerves, the queen mother at the send-off banquet accidentally drank medicinal wine and escaped by herself, and assassinated Yang Jian on the street All kinds of thrills and failures.

The ensuing plans and bitter schemes forced Yu Wenzhi to die on the spot in the lobby, as well as the end of the unrepentant traitor Huang Aqi, who was beheaded.

Yu Wenwen said it without shock, but Wei Chi Chi heard all kinds of swords and swords from it, and when he listened to it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for his husband to return to him after hardships and dangers, and he felt more and more that he had lost a lot.

As she spoke, the little couple became entangled together, and the eldest woman wanted to welcome and refused, so she fulfilled the will of the head of the family, and the two had no sleep all night.

It wasn't until noon on the second day that Yu Wenwen, who had a sore back and back, and Wei Chi Chifan, who was a little tired but radiant, walked out of the backyard, but they didn't go far Yu Wenwen was surprised to see his sister-in-law Yu Chi Mingyue playing with Yuwen Eying, and Fu Youcai was standing next to him sweating profusely.

After listening to Fu Youcai's advice, the corners of Yu Wenwen's mouth twitched: "Mingyue said that she wanted to take her sister to escape from my clutches?" ”

Little bastard, I bought you so many things in Chang'an, but now I don't miss my brother-in-law!

However, Yu Chi Mingyue had forgotten what she was going to do when she rushed in today, and not long after she came in, she was pestered by the younger Yuwen Eying and had a hot time and became a 'big sister'.

Yuwen Wen, who had to escape the 'great disaster', breathed a sigh of relief and instructed the housekeeper Li Sanjiu to arrange for the maids to serve the two aunts and grandmothers, and after lunch, he listened to Wei Chi Chifan's 'report' on the affairs of the house.

Now there are a total of 400 servants in the house, of which 50 are working in the Angu County Mansion next door, Wei Chishun's family of two old and one young and two old servants originally did not need so many servants, but the house where they lived was too big, if there were too few people, it seemed deserted, so filial piety to his daughter Wei Chi Chi Fan arranged for the servants in the house to serve in the past.

As the hostess, Wei Chi Chifan performed well, and the accounts were sorted out clearly, and she was assisted by Li Sanjiu, Zhang Dingfa, Liu Caiyun, and Fu Youcai, who obeyed the upper and lower classes in the house.

There are two incomes of the Xiyang County Mansion: one is Yulu, and the other is the glaze workshop on Liu Caiyun's side.

Yulu refers to the Xiyang County of Xiyang County in the food of the two thousand households to pay taxes, the Great Zhou Dynasty implements the uniform field system according to the disaster year, the harvest year to levy taxes, there is a family (household) every year to pay a piece of silk, eight taels of cotton, millet five hundred.

As a unit of measurement, Hu and Shi are the same, so the tax of 2,000 households is converted into 10,000 stones.

In this year, most of the money was distributed in kind, according to the grades of the Northern Zhou Dynasty officials, national dukes, and county dukes, all of them were Zhengjiu, and the rank of Lulu was 10,000 stones, which was exactly the same as the tax of 2,000 households.

The price of rice in this era fluctuated greatly due to wars and disasters, and the price of a stone of rice fluctuated from 100 to 500 yuan or even thousands, like the kind of besieged city in which a stone of rice even soared to tens of thousands of yuan.

Because Yu Wenwen is not accustomed to measuring his 'annual income' in kind, so Wei Chi Chifan converted it into five million yuan according to the price of five hundred yuan and one stone of ordinary rice, and one thousand yuan is consistent, so his annual income (Yulu) is 5,000 yuan.

Yu Wenwen prefers to convert it into silver taels according to the consistent price of one tael of silver, but the circulation of silver in this era is not as large as in the Ming and Qing dynasties thousands of years later, and it is unrealistic to go out to buy things to learn to pay with silver taels in martial arts novels.

The Lu rank of the Xiyang County Duke was usually issued by the imperial court, but now it is borne by the Anzhou Governor's Office, and the Lu rank is mainly grain, and some silk cloth and silk, and the main source of copper money in the Xiyang County Mansion is currently the income from the sale of glass ornaments.

In this year, there are really glass products from the Western Regions flowing into the Central Plains, like what glass bottles and glass bowls are not rare, but the 'glass products' made of glass by Yuwenwen are low in cost, so the profits are also considerable.

After Yu Wenwen's father-in-law, Angu County Lieutenant Chi Shun, and his family of three came to Anlu, the head of Yu Wenliang, as his in-laws, naturally had to carry out 'economic assistance' to bear the basic expenses of the house, but other expenses were taken care of by Wei Chi Shun's good daughter Yu Chi Chifan.

In this way, after deducting the daily expenses of both sides, the average monthly surplus was nearly 100 quintals, including equivalents such as silk cloth and silk, and more than enough grain.

Because the price of food fluctuates greatly, the servants who work in the government are willing to use the wages in kind.

Yu Chi Chi flipped through the account book and read out one item seriously, and the serious look made Yu Wenwen look at it and couldn't help but be stupid, he seemed to see a female president wearing gold-rimmed glasses, hair in a bun, wearing a professional suit, a pair of long legs wrapped in black and silk pedal high heels, talking in front of him.

"Husband?" Wei Chi Chifan found that his husband was stunned and looked at him, and couldn't help but blush.

Yuwen Wen saw that the beauty was shy, so he took it into his arms and said softly: "Last night, my husband said it wrong, and Sanniang is the head of the family." ”

He was away from home for a few months, if his wife was weak and incompetent, he didn't know what this family would become, thinking of seeing Yang Lihua last night and behaving decently and generously, with such a beautiful wife who could take care of housework, Yu Wenwen felt that everything he fought for was worth it.

The little couple snuggled up to the atmosphere and gradually became ambiguous, Wei Chi Chifan suddenly came back to his senses, blushed and fled in a panic, Yu Wenwen cleaned up his mind and called a group of backbones to listen to the 'work report'.

The housekeeper Li Sanjiu, the head of the guard, Zhang Dingfa, the glass workshop Liu Caiyun, Zhang Yiman, and Hu Sanzi respectively reported on the situation in their respective aspects, and all in all, everything was normal.

The small team established by himself performed well Yu Wenwen was very satisfied, especially Zhang Dingfa patted his chest privately to ensure that his wife was not entangled by the monk when he went to the temple to burn incense, and there was no monk who came to the door with a shy face to 'send a child' to his wife to dispel disasters or something, Yu Wenwen was completely relieved.

When the news of Zhang Dingfa's account of being captured by Yu Wenzhi and Yang Jian reached An Lu, Mrs. Fan's face turned pale, and she immediately went to the temple to burn incense and make a wish to pray for her husband's safety, accompanied by his mother Wang and Liu Caiyun.

Zhang Dingfa remembered that Lord Lang Yuwenwen ordered to take guards to follow the whole process, and he didn't find any monk surnamed Wang next door pestering his wife.

The bigger good news is still to come, Liu Caiyun, Zhang Yiman, and Hu Sanzi have already made the glass mirror!

After using up countless materials and spending a lot of effort, the three-sided finished product was finally made, the mirror surface was the size of a palm, framed with good materials, and all of them were well sealed and waiting for Lang Lord Yuwenwen to come back and dispose of it.

"Shopkeeper Liu estimates how much this mirror can sell?"

"Not less than three thousand or equivalent, this is still the shipping price, and I am afraid that it will be doubled several times when it is transferred to the nobleman's house." Liu Caiyun remembered the surprised look when he saw his face in the mirror for the first time, and Zhang Yiman and Hu Sanzi were also very excited.

They made the most amazing mirror in the world!

Yuwen Wen was also excited when he heard this, he felt that his annual income was converted into currency, and it seemed that it was only about 5,000 yuan, and if this mirror could be sold for 3,000 yuan, it would be no different from opening a money.

He had no business routes, and sold the mirrors directly to Chang'an, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or Jiankang, the capital of Chen, two metropolises with explosive consumption power, so he could only sell them to middlemen, but he really felt that a mirror could be sold for so much money, which was a big profit.

After being excited, Yu Wenwen hurriedly asked how long it would take to make a mirror, and Liu Caiyun discussed with Zhang Yiman and Hu Sanzi for a moment to give a definite time: according to each batch of three to five sides, it will take almost thirty days for a batch.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can only make a batch of mirrors every month, considering the confidentiality factor, the three of them are responsible for making glass mirrors in the workshop, so the speed is not fast, and the output cannot be increased all at once.

They made several mirrors in three batches late last month and the beginning of this month, and these three sides were the first batch, and the second and third batches will be molded in about a few years.

The yield of flat glass needs to be improved, and the process of making glass mirrors has only recently been determined: a piece of tin foil is placed on top of the flat glass and mercury (mercury) is poured on top of it, and the mercury dissolves the tin foil to form a tin-mercury mixture – tin amalgam sticks tightly to the glass to form a glass mirror.

It takes more than half a month to evenly paste tin amalgam on the whole piece of glass, which is the tin amalgamation method known to Yuwenwen.

The use of tin to make float flat glass was tried out by Zhang Yiman and improved by Liu Caiyun, and the use of tin amalgamation method was conceived by Hu Sanzi.

"Very good, leave one side for the gift of my father, and sell the other two."

Liu Caiyun was stunned when she heard this, the mirror made her love it, but she thought that the owner of Lang would only keep one side for Mrs. and the other two sides for sale, but she didn't expect that none of them would be left for Mrs.

"Can't you just do this thing anymore, the New Year is coming, you have to buy things, right?" Yuwen Wen touched his smooth and beardless chin, "This time you have made a great achievement, each person will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and there will be a commission for each side sold in the future." ”

The three of them were overjoyed, and the results of their non-stop experiments day and night finally paid off handsomely.

"But this tin amalgam is slightly toxic, you remember to wear a mask, and the mirrors made should be stored in a ventilated place on weekdays."

Liu Caiyun tentatively asked Yu Wenwen who she wanted to give the mirror to, in her opinion, Lord Lang was very good to his wife, and it was hard to imagine that the first mirror would be given to someone else.

"Naturally, it's my father, and I have to take care of the boss for the future, right?" Yu Wenwen's eyes lit up as if he was thinking about something.

This stage is the rising stage of my career!
