"Ding~" With the flick of Li Xiu's fingers, the glass on the table also found a crisp sound, and the water surface inside also flashed round and round ripples, and then Li Xiu picked up the cup and drank the water inside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Xiu didn't expect that among the gifts given by Du Fuwei, there would be glassware, not only the glass in front of him, but a complete set of glassware, including cups, plates, kettles, etc., which filled a large box, and what surprised Li Xiu even more was that these glasses were extremely transparent, and they didn't look much different from the glassware of later generations.

"Master, you are really extravagant, such an expensive medicinal jade is used for decoration by other people, but you are the only one who really uses it to drink water." At this time, Yuechan covered her mouth and smiled.

Medicinal jade is the name of the Tang people for glass, no matter which era, there is an unbreakable truth that things are rare and expensive, the Central Plains has never produced glass, only a similar glass, all glass products are shipped from overseas, which also leads to the high price of glassware, most people just take glassware as a luxury collection, but ignore its original function.

"It's just a medicinal jade, Yuechan, do you know what this medicinal jade is made of?" Li Xiu didn't care about it, and put the water cup on the table with a smile.

"Giggle~, I really know this, my father used to ...... the emperor" Yuechan suddenly said and showed her mouth, and she couldn't help but blush at the moment, but she also knew that Li Xiu had guessed her identity, so she quickly recovered and continued, "In the past, Hu Shang went to the Liang State Palace and presented some medicinal jade vessels to His Majesty, according to him, these medicinal jade were collected from the perennial Xuan Ice on the Snow Mountain, and the stars falling from the world were melted......"

"Poof~" Before Yuechan finished speaking, Li Xiu almost burst out laughing, these Hu businessmen really have enough strength to make money, and this nonsense can be used to write fantasy novels in the future.

"Sir, what are you laughing at?" Yuechan saw this, but she was a little inexplicable, did she say something wrong?

"Yuechan, you remember that there are two kinds of people in this world who can't be believed, the first is businessmen, they can say that the living are dead in order to make money, and they can also say that the dead are alive, the raw materials for the manufacture of those medicinal jade are not so precious, in fact, the sand is burned, and then condensed to become medicinal jade, but these are the most primitive medicinal jade, and it takes a lot of work to burn the medicinal jade into the pure and transparent in front of us." Li Xiu explained with a light smile.

"Sand? How is this possible? Yuechan heard that the glass was actually made of sand, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"What's impossible about this, when our porcelain from the Central Plains is shipped overseas, it is also more expensive than gold, and to put it bluntly, isn't porcelain also made of clay?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

In fact, glass and porcelain are almost the same, the raw materials are the most common things, but because of the wisdom of people and become worth a hundred times, but in comparison, the porcelain of the Central Plains has more advantages than glass, whether it is in shape or beauty, porcelain is not comparable to glass, which also makes porcelain has always been the representative commodity of the Central Plains, and even the name of the country in later generations also comes from this.

Hearing Li Xiu use porcelain as an example, Yuechan finally nodded thoughtfully, but then she suddenly asked with some curiosity: "Master, just now you said that there are two kinds of people in this world who can't be believed, one is a businessman, and the other is who?" ”

"Haha~, in addition to the words of businessmen, there are also beautiful women who can't be trusted, and the more beautiful women are, the more they will lie, such as ......" When Li Xiu said at the end, he suddenly blinked and looked at Yuechan, and the corners of her mouth also showed a little teasing smile, she told a lot of lies in order to hide her identity.

Yuechan is also Bingxue smart, and she immediately understood the meaning of Li Xiu's words, but when she heard him praise himself for being beautiful, she couldn't help but bow her head shyly, and her cheeks were red and almost dripping.

Looking at Yuechan's shy appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing, this little girl has become more and more shy during this time, but it makes people feel very interesting, every time he sees her, Li Xiu can't help but want to tease her a few words.

Picked up the glass again and looked at it carefully, this thing was very common in later generations, which also evoked some memories of Li Xiu, and finally put down the cup with a long sigh, and then began to take out the other glassware in the box, looking at it carefully.

The glassware in the box was originally some daily utensils, so Li Xiu deliberately moved it to the room, which could be used for his own use or for entertaining guests, in the eyes of others, these glassware may be worth a thousand gold, but in his eyes, there is nothing to cherish at all, even if it is broken.

"Cups, kettles, and even bowls have ......" Li Xiu took out the glassware in the box in the same way, just now he just took a general look at it, and did not count it carefully, and now he found that there are still a lot of utensils inside, and there are many styles, some of which are pure handicrafts and have no practical value.

"Hey, there's a big plate down there!" When Li Xiu took out the glassware on it and removed the straw in the middle, he suddenly found that there was a big plate underneath, the bottom of which was the size of a basketball, and the flat bottom was very thick and heavy, which looked a bit similar to the glass fish bowl of later generations, but it was very shallow, according to Li Xiu's estimate, this may be used to put fruit and other fruit bowls.

At first, Li Xiu didn't care, he put the big plate on the table casually, and prepared to count the glassware left behind, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, which made him immediately pick up the plate again and look at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and he didn't know what gift to give Princess Pingyang, but he didn't expect to find this thing, and now the gift finally has been settled!

At the same time, in the Huo Guogong Mansion in Chang'an City, Chai Shao was sitting in the living room and was drinking wine, and in a few days it was Princess Pingyang's birthday, at this time of year, Princess Pingyang would invite some relatives and friends to go, such as her sisters, as well as Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin brothers and others, but only he would not invite his husband to go, which also made Chai Shao feel very faceless, and made him feel very depressed at this time of year.

"Master, why are you drinking again, it's not good for your health!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a beautiful girl walking with a tray, then put the tray on the table, picked up a bowl of soup on it and sent it to him, and said, "Drink this bowl of hangover soup quickly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable again tomorrow." ”

"Didn't I tell me not to bother me?" Chai Shao said a little impatiently, this young woman is his favorite concubine, named Ruyue, known as Mrs. Yue, has been with him for nearly ten years, and also gave birth to a pair of sons for him, which also makes Chai Shao more fond of her, and fortunately, otherwise, if someone else came in at this time, I am afraid that he would have been scolded by him a long time ago.

"The concubine knows that her husband is very annoying, but no matter how annoying she is, she must pay attention to her identity, otherwise her husband's body will collapse, and the slave family will know that she is distressed, but others will not know that she is distressed!" Mrs. Yue opened her mouth to persuade her, and at the end of her words seemed to have a hint in her words.

Chai Shao also heard the meaning of Mrs. Yue's words, and he was even more impatient at the moment, but he was very fond of Mrs. Yue, and the other party gave birth to two sons for him, both of whom were also very smart, and he also loved them very much, so he was reluctant to get angry at Mrs. Yue at this time, so he had to suddenly pour a sip of wine to relieve the sullenness in his heart.

Seeing that Chai Shao didn't listen to herself, Mrs. Yue couldn't help but sigh secretly, no matter how favored she was, but the natural gap in identity also made her unable to compare with Princess Pingyang at all, in Chai Shao's heart, I am afraid that she is not as important as Princess Pingyang's little finger.

However, although Mrs. Yue was a little unhappy in her heart, she was an extremely intelligent woman, otherwise it would not have been possible for Chai Shao to pamper her for so many years, so she quickly spoke again: "Husband, in fact, you don't have to worry, the princess didn't invite you to the banquet, can't you take the initiative to go?" ”

"Take the initiative? What are you and me, if people are out of the way, then do I want this face? Chai Shao couldn't help but be angry when he heard Mrs. Yue's words, in his opinion, women have long hair and short knowledge.

"Giggles, husband, why are you so confused, even if you can't go, can't you let our two children go?" Mrs. Yue suddenly smiled and spoke.

"What do you mean, you mean to let Zhewei and Lingwu go?" Chai Shao also looked at Mrs. Yue in surprise when he heard this, and for a while he seemed to understand the other party's intentions.

"Yes, Zhewei and Lingwu are eight years old, and the other is only five years old, and the princess is also their mother-in-law, and on the day of their mother's birthday, it is natural for them to go to pay homage to their birthday, and the princess will never kick the two children out of the door, right?" Mrs. Yue smiled again and said, the reason why she proposed this was actually to go further.

"That's a good idea, but what's the use of letting two children go, and I can't go?" Chai Shao's eyes lit up at first, but then he said with some annoyance.

"It doesn't matter if the husband goes or not, as long as the two of them get acquainted with the princess first, and the princess has been married to the husband for so many years, and there has been no heir, in this case, the husband can pass Zhewei and them to the princess's name openly, and then you and the princess will have two children, are you still afraid that the princess will run away?" Mrs. Yue said with a smile, in order to be able to make her two sons Chai Shao's sisters-in-law, she was willing to sacrifice no matter how big she was.

"This ......" Hearing Mrs. Yue's words, Chai Shao couldn't help but be a little moved, he has not been forgiven by Princess Pingyang all these years, and his heart is already a little distorted, as long as he can get closer to Princess Pingyang, he is willing to do anything. (To be continued.) )
