Chapter 363: Send the Mirror

"What's the matter, why does the matter of the microscope involve my father again?" Zhao Yan was also very surprised when he heard this, he really didn't expect Cao Tong to suddenly mention Zhao Shu.

I saw Cao Tong at this time, but he smiled helplessly and said: "We have just received a holy decree from His Majesty in this matter, saying that the imperial court needs a batch of lead glass every month, but our lead glass workshop is not large, and the monthly output is limited. ”

"What does the imperial court want lead glass for, do they also want to make microscopes?" Zhao Yan asked in surprise when he heard this.

"I don't know about this, and I didn't find any useful news when I asked someone, but these lead glasses were all transported to the ordnance superintendent, and my grandson-in-law happened to have a position in the ordnance superintendent, so you might as well ask." Cao Tong said helplessly again, although their Daomen was very influential, but when facing the imperial court, there was no room for resistance.

"Armament supervisor? Could it be that they needed to use lead glass for a new weapon? When Zhao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but say to himself, speaking of which, his consultant is really too unqualified, he hasn't been to the ordnance prison for a long time, and naturally he doesn't know what the ordnance supervisor wants lead glass for?

"Grandfather, in the past two days, I will take the time to understand the situation, if I can help, I will definitely help, but if it is related to state affairs, I hope that Daomen will also focus on state affairs!" Zhao Yan finally arched to Cao Tong (arched his hand.

"That's natural, although I am an outsider, but I am also from Jiangmen, if the court needs lead glass to do something very important, I will definitely not let the Daomen drag the court back!" When Cao Tong heard this, he immediately assured that although the microscope was important, it still couldn't be compared with state affairs in his heart, and even he, the leader of the Daomen, thought so. It is no wonder that the religion of the Central Plains has never been able to override the imperial power.

At that moment, Zhao Yan chatted with Cao Tong for a few more words, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw that Cao Tong seemed to think of something again, and immediately smiled and commanded the person next to him, but after a while, he saw a young Taoist priest coming in with a box. Then put the box in front of Zhao Yan and retreated.

"Son-in-law, the glass mirror manufacturing method you taught us last time has been made, and the mirrors we made on the microscope just now are left, and there are still a lot of glass mirrors left, so I asked people to cut them into a lot of mirrors of different styles, and now they are all here!" Cao Yan said and opened the box, and it turned out that there were mirrors of different shapes, but they were all carefully inlaid inside.

"There are so many?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw these mirrors, just looking at the volume of this box. There are absolutely no less than 20 mirrors inside, and these mirrors are either round, square, or prismatic, and the outside is either clad with copper or wood, and the style is also very beautiful, which is not much different from the mirrors of later generations.

"Haha, I know that there are many women in your family, son-in-law, in addition to Ying'er and a few other wives and concubines, there are also several princesses there. So you can take all these mirrors with you, and it's useless for me to keep them anyway. Cao Tong laughed at this time. Zhao Yan has helped them a lot, and these mirrors should be a little bit of his care.

Zhao Yan didn't be polite to Cao Yan, and after thanking him, he instructed Lin Hu: "Put the box away, don't break it, otherwise my third sister and they will have to pick your skin!" ”

Lin Hu originally wanted to find someone to hold the box casually, but he was frightened when he heard Zhao Yan's words. Hurriedly asked someone to find a hand-pushed cart, and then tied the box firmly on the top of the cart, and then carefully followed Zhao Yan to push the cart.

After Zhao Yan got out of the microscopic situation, he walked around the market according to his previous habits, bought some small bean sprouts and prepared to take them back. But at this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly found that in front of a small stall selling cloth in the bazaar, Yan Yuru and Yin Niang, the master and servant, were choosing things, although there were many people around secretly looking at Yan Yuru's peerless appearance, many of them were people who came to listen to the class, but no one dared to come forward to talk.

At the same time that Zhao Yan saw Yan Yuru, the other party also turned his head to see him, and then saw Yan Yuru showing an indifferent smile to him, and then stepped forward and saluted: "Why did the county king go home so late today?" ”

"Hehe, there are some things after the lecture today, so I stayed in the microscopic for a while, but I didn't expect to meet Yan Niangzi so coincidentally." Zhao Yan also replied with a smile, but at this time, he suddenly found that those people who secretly looked at Yan Yuru just now immediately left in a hurry after seeing him, which also made Zhao Yan a little strange, usually those who were listening to the class saw themselves, at least they had to say hello, where would they leave without saying hello like today?

Yan Yuru didn't care about the reactions of the people around her, and when she saw the few snacks in Zhao Yan's hand, she couldn't help but smile again: "Why does the king of the county also like to eat these things?" ”

Zhao Yan followed Yan Yuru's gaze and looked at the snacks in his hand, and explained with a smile: "Although I usually eat some snacks, these things are mainly bought for my maids, that is, the little bean sprouts, these little girls are at the age of gluttony, and they can't stop eating all day long, and they usually don't have time to come out, so I help them buy some back." ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's explanation, Yan Yuru's expression was also a little sluggish, it was the first time she knew that Zhao Yan, the dignified county king, would buy snacks for her maid, which also made her unable to react for a long time, but the hidden lady next to her said with envy at this time: "The county king is really considerate and careful, your maid is really lucky." ”

"Haha, Yin Niang, you are not bad, I met Yan Niangzi who treats you as a sister like this." Zhao Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yinniang's words.

"Hehe, that's right, my sister is very good to me." When Yin Niang heard Zhao Yan's words, she immediately hugged Yan Yuru's arm and said.

Yan Yuru finally came to her senses at this time, and said with a bright smile to Zhao Yan: "The king of the county is really a caring person, he must be very happy to be a maid by your side, and he doesn't have to worry about being scolded by his master's family at all times." ”

Zhao Yan also smiled at Yan Yuru's praise, but at this time he suddenly thought of something, and said to Yan Yuru at the moment: "It's a coincidence, today I just got some small gifts from the microscopic one, you wait a minute!" ”

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he turned around and came to the side of the car that Lin Hu and they were pushing, then opened the box on it, reached out and took out a mirror, just wanted to close the box, but hesitated, and then reached out and took out another mirror, then turned around and came to Yan Yuru in front of the master and servant and smiled: "This is the glass mirror that I made in cooperation with Daomen, and the first batch of them is not much. ”

Zhao Yan said and handed over the mirror in his hand, Yan Yuru was still hesitating whether she should accept it? However, the hidden lady next to her had already taken it and looked at it, but when she saw that she was extremely clear in the mirror, and even the fluff on her face could be seen clearly, she couldn't help but shout loudly: "Sister, look, this mirror is so clear!" ”

Yan Yuru heard Yinniang's exclamation, and couldn't help but be curious, so she took the mirror in Zhao Yan's hand and looked at it, and the result was also surprised, she had used a lot of good mirrors before, but she had never seen people so clearly like this glass mirror, and it was not an exaggeration to even use the image to show it in detail.

However, Yan Yuru quickly returned the mirror in her hand to Zhao Yan and said: "The king of the county, such a valuable gift, the little woman really doesn't dare to accept it, so please take it back to the princess!" ”

After Yan Yuru finished speaking, she looked at the Yin Niang next to her, but although the Yin Niang was extremely reluctant, she finally handed the mirror in her hand to Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan laughed at this time and said: "Yan Niangzi misunderstood, although this glass mirror is several times clearer than the copper mirror, but its cost is not high, at least it is much cheaper than the copper mirror, of course, in order to make money at the beginning, it may be sold more expensive, now give Yan Niangzi a mirror, so as not to spend money in the future." ”

"Giggles, it's still the county king's thoughtfulness, then we'll take it!" When Yin Niang heard Zhao Yan's words, she immediately withdrew the mirror in her hand, and at the same time held it tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid of being snatched away by others.

Yan Yuru wanted to say something more, but at this time, Yin Niang looked at her with a pitiful gaze, which made her heart soften, and seeing Zhao Yan's sincere smile, this made her finally nod and said: "That is, the little woman is disrespectful!" ”

"Haha, that's how it should be!" Zhao Yan saw that Yan Yuru also accepted the mirror, and laughed at the moment, and then he chatted with Yan Yuru for a few more words, and then turned around and said goodbye.

Yan Yuru looked at the back of Zhao Yan leaving, and a little guilt flashed in her eyes, Zhao Yan can be said to be honest with her, but she approached the other party for another purpose, although she has not done anything to hurt Zhao Yan yet, but Yan Yuru knows that with her father's character, since she has now set her eyes on Zhao Yan, there will definitely be a plan against him in the future, and how should she choose then?

Zhao Yan naturally didn't know what Yan Yuru was thinking, originally at the beginning, he did have some doubts about Yan Yuru's sudden appearance, but as time went by, Yan Yuru did not make any suspicious moves, and after entering the school, he also behaved very normally, which also made Zhao Yan slowly dispel the doubts in his heart, and now he regarded her as an ordinary friend and colleague, otherwise he would not take the initiative to give her a mirror today.
