ps: There is still a chapter around 12 o'clock, and I will definitely be scolded by a lot of people, and I won't say anything, just three words: ask for a monthly pass!!

Ji Huan sat in front of the dressing table, facing the crystal clear mirror, inside was a pretty face, although it was already twenty-five, it was still as perfect as white jade, without a single flaw, and her eyes and smile were reflected in the pale green mirror called "glass". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Is this me?"

She looked at herself in the mirror, Rouyi couldn't help but touch her cheeks, a little incredible, although she had seen her face countless times in Tongjian and the water, but she couldn't figure it out, so clearly and clearly examined her face, but it was the first time since she was born.

"As the so-called sword is given to heroes, treasures are given to beauties, can this thing be favored?"

The bridegroom finally pushed the door into the room after entertaining the guests, and the statue-like maidservants withdrew with interest, and closed the door softly outside, leaving only the two sisters and brothers in the room.

As soon as Zhao Wuxian came in, he happened to see Ji Huan in a daze in the mirror. She was born beautiful, and today she has been carefully dressed, the natural beauty and softness of the Yi girl from the water town of Xu Kingdom, coupled with the demeanor that she has practiced for many years in charge of Zhao's internal affairs, makes people feel excited.

Considering the fact that the Zhao family is waiting to be prosperous, this wedding is not a big event, but it does not mean that Zhao Wuxian does not pay attention to it, in order to buy a wedding gift for Ji Huan, he can be described as painstaking.

As early as around 3000 B.C., glass appeared in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and by the 5th century B.C., glass had spread as a luxury item along the Mediterranean coast, for example, the ancient Greek city-states had many exquisite glass crafts, some of which at first glance looked indistinguishable from modern glass bottles.

After Zhao Wuxian returned to the Spring and Autumn Period, he found that in this era of Chu, there was also another kind of glass. The world-famous "Suihou Zhu" is actually a bunch of glass beads, a few days ago, there were businessmen from Ye County, Chu Guo, who claimed to congratulate Zhao Qing on his wedding, and took it out to call him, and said that he wanted a bead for ten carts of bamboo paper, or five large porcelain!

In fact, the so-called "Sui Hou Zhu", Zhao Wuxian asked Zigong to collect it very early, and studied it for craftsmen such as the Gongyi class. This kind of glass he remembers is called "lead barium glass", the main component is lead barium, and the Western "soda-lime glass" belongs to two different glass systems, which were independently invented by the Chinese, and the swords of the contemporaries Wu Wang Fucha and Yue Wang Gou Jian are inlaid with this kind of thing.

But this technology is obviously flawed, the firing temperature is low, although it has the advantages of gorgeous and colorful, crystal bright, but fragile, not resistant to high temperature, poor transparency, not suitable for sudden cold and sudden heat, only suitable for processing into a variety of decorations, gifts and burial goods, etc., compared to ceramics, bronze, jade, this kind of glassware from Chu has a narrow use, so it has not developed and grown, few people know.

It was used to make the glass mirror that Zhao Wuxian wanted, and naturally it would not work.

At that time, Zhao Wuxian didn't say a word, he clapped his hands directly, and asked his subordinates to bring up a plate of things that had just been sent by the public loss class, and when the gauze covering it was lifted, that Chu State businessman saw the real glass beads!

Although there are still some colors that are difficult to remove, those sleek glass beads are clear and clear, and after molding, they are polished, pale green and translucent, pinched in the hand, and even the people behind can be seen through it, and they immediately compared the "essence as true" beads in Chu Shang's hand......

After half a year of exploration and after replacing countless materials, the public transport team finally mixed the quartz sand and the trona obtained from the brine lake, put it into a specific furnace to melt (because large-scale iron smelting has begun, the furnace temperature is undoubtedly enough), and then made glass balls.

Zhao's glass marbles, which are different from Chu glass marbles, have finally been successfully developed! The next step was to include the recipe in the state secret, just as after the porcelain craftsmen were deprived of their freedom, the glassmakers were also placed in the workshops with high walls, where they first made glass vials and ornaments, and slowly began to try to blow glassware: take a mass of semi-liquid molten glass, blow air into it to make a hollow container, which was a later invention.

The final product glass mirror, which is a new product in the past month, is also made by blowing, the large container is blown out, and after being flattened, it becomes a piece of glass, and the back is silver-plated with the mature technology of the Spring and Autumn Period, and then brushed with a layer of lacquer. But it can only be the size of a human face, and if it is larger, the craftsmen will not be able to do anything.

But enough is enough, in today's wedding, the pale green glass mirror is fixed in a hard teak frame and placed in the cave room, which surprises Ji Huan. 、

……

"This must be very valuable." Ji Huan didn't dare to reach over, for fear that as soon as he touched the mirror, the mirrors that reflected his face would shatter into tens of thousands of pieces, just like today's dreamy beauty.

She then habitually showed the attitude of her eldest sister, and said to Zhao Wuxian like a lesson: "I heard that Jun quit the high platform in order not to break the wealth of the ten families, so how much is this mirror worth?" “

"It's probably worth the property of two Chinese families, don't look at this thing is quite like jade, crystal, its practical materials are very ordinary, you can see quartz sand everywhere, as well as plant ash, at most it is the trona mined in Taiyuan Daluli...... Besides, after having this process, make smaller mirrors, or beads, and let Zigong sell them to Zheng, Chu, Qi, Wu and other places, and you can get a hundredfold or a thousand times the profit! ”

Since the nobles of the Chu State can even use the beads as treasures, not to mention the more crystal clear glass beads and the mirrors that make the noblewomen's hearts move. Although Zhao Wuxian himself is not extravagant, he has been encouraging foreign nobles to be extravagant all the time over the years, and after the porcelain competition, Zhao's new product glass marbles will continue to make money from the pockets of the princes.

Ji Huan breathed a sigh of relief, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, there are enough rumors outside, she doesn't want to let Wuxian be saddled with the notoriety of "extravagance" because of herself, and she also says that she is a compliment.

"Then, since this thing is not valuable, you should remember to prepare one for the Lingzi in the palace, Kong Jiao, and the sisters of Bo Qi in the Lu Kingdom."

"Weiwei, what you reminded me of...... Not to mention this, you and I have been in prison for many years, and now, it's time to get together......"

Not to mention that it's okay, as soon as Zhao Wuxian mentioned this, Ji Huan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he suddenly remembered that the tall man in front of him was no longer the little brother who needed his protection and advice, but the husband who wanted to treat him like a sky...... His face was as hot as if it was burning, and his whole body became nervous.

Zhao Wuxian gently held Ji Huan and sat on the couch with her.

Looking back, it was not easy to come this way......

Although he had just come to the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Wuxian vowed to avoid the tragedy of "Mrs. Grinding Hairpin" in history, but at that time, he did not expect that he would break the curse of fate by "marrying his sister".

Zhixiao and Daijun's covetousness for Ji Huan was repelled by Zhao Wuxian's soldiers and iron cavalry; The dissent within the Zhao family was silenced by Zhao Wuxian's glare; The rumors of public opinion in the outside world were also pressed down by Shangqing's iron fist.

He almost did this with the fingers and spittle of the people of the world, and among the Confucian disciples who served the Zhao family, there were not a few who did not quit because of this matter, but fortunately, none of the officials such as Ran Qiu, Zigong, and Zai Yu left.

The visible obstruction did not dare to squeak openly under his power, but the invisible pressure has always shrouded the two, even after tonight, this sense of oppression of etiquette and morality will continue forever, and this is the price of making a choice.

But Zhao Wuxian has no regrets.

Two incense candles with the thickness of an arm's arm are reflected in the bright cave room, and various ritual utensils are auspiciously placed on the table. Different from the popular wedding tents of later generations, pre-Qin weddings like Xuanbai and white, clean and unpretentious. It is said that the marriage between Wu Ding and the woman was the same, and he wanted to break through the barrier of "not marrying with the same surname" in Zhou Li.

Using the broken halves as a wine vessel, in exchange for drinking the wine, Ji Huan's red lips were also moistened. When the two looked at each other, she suddenly remembered that when they were young, they did not avoid the defense of men and women, and they had fought on the same couch, but now it was different from then, she saw that Zhao Wuxian's eyes reflected her figure, which was more vivid than in the glass mirror......

Ji Huan felt that her heart was beating hard, and she didn't know if she heard the shirtless that was getting closer and closer. Fear, worry, joy, shyness, all kinds of emotions made her ghostly catch Zhao Wuxian's hand that stopped her waist, just like when she was a child, her brother wanted to scratch her waist and was beaten by her.

"Brother, you, what ...... you have to do"

Zhao Wuxian saw Ji Huan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stiff, and called out his brother again.

He immediately put on a straight face and said solemnly: "Of course, I want to do the courtesy of Zhou Gong." ”

"Zhou Gong's gift?" Ji Huan's hand is still resisting weakly, there is no such playful statement in this era.

"The Duke of Zhou prescribed a faint ceremony for Zhou Shi, and there was a sentence in it: 'When the master enters, he personally says (takes) the woman's tassel'...... As the secretary of the Jin Kingdom, I should follow the etiquette, personally untie your clothes for your sister, and make peace with your husband and wife......"
