Chapter 27: Steps Like Smoke and Mirrors

Genius remembered for a second, "Love โ™‚ รท small? Say โ†’', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The first year of Jiading, Qixi Festival.

Bu Ruyan took out a glass mirror and looked at himself in the mirror carefully. The beauty in the mirror has white teeth and red lips, fair complexion, and a variety of charms between her eyebrows. Although he has practiced in front of the white copper mirror countless times, he has already been very clear about his appearance, but Bu Ruyan still looks at himself carefully in front of the glass mirror. Joy, displeasure, anger, and pity, all expressions emerged from Bu Ru's face. After taking a closer look, Bu Ruyan fine-tuned the dissatisfaction.

In the eyes of others, Miss Bu Ruyan seems to be emotional, but in fact, she is very focused in her heart, so focused that she has no emotions at all. Of course, a famous prostitute needs to know poetry, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting, but a courtesan who only knows poetry, songs, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting cannot become a famous prostitute. Those who come to the painting boat are looking for what they imagine to communicate with people, and eating this bowl of rice needs to make those people feel that she is 'natural' and has the most appropriate response. This requires every expression and movement to be in place. The glass mirror is an excellent tool for correcting even the slightest imperfections.

"Miss. Zhao Yong asked to see him. The girl in Tsing Yi walked to the side of the distance and said.

"Ask him to come up." Bu Ruyan replied.

The girl in Tsing Yi walked away, and saw herself smiling in the mirror like smoke. She quickly dispelled the smile, because it was a sincere emotion from Bu Ruyan. As if overnight, glass mirrors suddenly became popular in Lin'an. The one in Bu Ruyan's hand is the size of a book, four times the size of an ordinary mirror on the market. However, Bu Ruyan did not pay a penny, and Zhao Yong outside the painting boat took the initiative to give it to her at this time.

When Zhao Yong went up to the painting boat, he saw Bu Ruyan facing the sky like a sister next door, sitting at the table casually with the mirror in mind. The quiet smile at the corner of his mouth made Zhao Yong feel extremely satisfied.

Seeing Zhao Yong coming in, Bu Ruyan didn't talk nonsense, didn't come forward to greet him, but got up and gave him a smile, and then began to pour tea. When Zhao Yong walked to the table, he put the green tea on Zhao Yong's side.

"Thank you." Zhao Yong ran under the sun for a long time, and he was really thirsty. Picking up the teacup and drinking it, he felt that the tea was incomparably sweet and refreshing.

"Zhao Gongzi, I heard that this glass mirror is more than thirty percent of the white copper mirror of the same size. But I don't know how big is the largest mirror? Bu Ruyan asked.

"The biggest?" Zhao Yong didn't understand for a while.

Looking at Zhao Yong's stupid appearance, Bu Ruyan pursed his lips and smiled, and raised the mirror in his hand, "The biggest of these mirrors won't be so big, right?" โ€

said it so bluntly, Zhao Yong barely recovered some memory from his addiction. "The biggest I've seen is the size of six of the ones you have."

"Great!" Step like smoke and say happily. She got up and walked to the table, took out a heavy package from it, and carried it to Zhao Yong with some difficulty. Zhao Yong opened it puzzled and saw that inside the package were two ingots of fifty taels of official silver.

"Zhao Gongzi, this money is a deposit. I want to sell two of the big mirrors you said. Bu Ruyan said to Zhao Yong with a longing look.

Zhao Yong said almost instinctively: "Why use money. I bought it for you! โ€

"No!" Bu Ruyan showed an expression similar to that of Zhenlie, "Zhao Gongzi, don't you think that I don't make clean money, so you look down on me?" โ€

Zhao Yong was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand, "I have no such intention." โ€

Bu Ruyan said with some concern: "If Zhao Gongzi really thinks so, then take these deposits." Your money is not blowing in the wind, I know that Zhao Gongzi is very good to me, so please Zhao Gongzi must not let me be upset. Otherwise, when I think of Zhao Gongzi in the future, I will feel that I will let you break the bank, and I will not be able to see you again. โ€

Hearing this, looking at Bu Ruyan's sincere expression, Zhao Yong finally gave in. He said seriously: "Miss Wan'er, the mirror I can get is not expensive, you can buy three ...... with one hundred taels of silver."

"Then I'll have three sides!" Bu Ruyan said decisively.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Okay, I'll get you three sides. After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he got up and left.

Bu Ruyan grabbed him from behind, lifted the wrapped silver laboriously, and handed it to Zhao Yong.

Sent Zhao Yong away, and sat back on the stool. It's very easy to deal with people like Zhao Yong, but it's very tiring. They are obsessed and often do something unexpected. Bu Ruyan has no experience in dealing with this kind of guy, so he can only improvise. Bu Ruyan is a little strange, why Zhao Jiaren actually regards Zhao Yong as a brother. No matter how you look at Zhao Jiaren, he doesn't look like such a good person.

As a prostitute in Lin'an, it is easy to hear those officials talking about officialdom. When it comes to Zhao Jiaren, most of the evaluations are that he is very capable of fighting, killing nearly 10,000 people. And the officials who knew that Zhao Jiaren had destroyed the Pu family in Quanzhou had a very resolute and ruthless evaluation of Zhao Jiaren.

Bu Ruyan himself can also feel Zhao Jiaren's existence. The glass mirrors that are becoming popular in the open, and the tampons that became popular through intimate channels earlier. Zhao Jiaren's means of making money are tricky, and the quality of the products is extraordinary. At least until now, Bu Ruyan has not seen that Zhao Yong has the advantages of being worthy of such Zhao Jiaren.

It's just that Zhao Yong did things very quickly, and three days later, he sent three glass mirrors to the painting boat. Arranged in a trapezoidal shape with three mirrors, he found himself perfectly observing his movements from all angles. My sisters used to tell Bu Ruyan that she sometimes had a slightly weird hunchback. Bu Ruyan couldn't find out that he had this problem, and this time he practiced in the mirror, and Bu Ruyan finally saw how he looked weird.

Just when Bu Ruyan felt that she needed to squeeze out all the time to adjust herself, there was news that Yan Guifei had died, and the entertainment activities in Lin'an City needed to be temporarily stopped. Then there was news that the right prime minister Jia Rudao returned to Lin'an. A few days later, the latest news was that the Mongol lord Kublai Khan sent an envoy to Lin'an to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty.

Now the attention of the officials is focused on these major events, and they are happy to be able to stop for a while. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, she constantly adjusts her walking, sitting and standing in front of the mirror, and corrects her smile and smile.

Jia Rudao, the right prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, had no time to take care of his own gestures at all. The speed of the peace negotiations this time made him can't help but recall the previous peace talks. In the Shaoxing Peace Conference, Yue Fei became a victim. Jiading made peace, Shi Miyuan killed Han Yanxuan and gave his head to Jin Guo. In both peace conferences, high-ranking officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were killed, and an unhappy feeling made Jia Yidao's mood much lower.

What should come is still coming, when the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing appeared in front of Jia Rudao, Jia Nidao was fully prepared to deal with it. After reading the peace conditions handed by Hao Jing for a while, Jia Rudao was already angry, he slammed the document on the table with a snap, and shouted loudly: "What is this!" โ€

Hao Jing glanced at the documents on the table, which were the conditions he listed.

1. The Song State ceded the Sichuan Road and the Lianghuai Road to Mongolia.

2. The Song State was a vassal to the Mongols.

3. The Song State attacked Mongolia every year with 250,000 horses of silk and 250,000 taels of silver.

There are other bits and pieces of fine terms.

For Jia Yidao's anger, Hao Jing felt incomprehensible. These conditions are similar to the Shaoxing Peace Conference signed by the Song and Jin States in that year. How could Song Guo accept it back then, but now Song Guo can't accept it?

With sincere expectations for peace, Hao Jing earnestly persuaded him: "Prime Minister Jia, after signing the peace agreement, my Great Mongolia will definitely abide by the treaty and protect the peace of the Song Kingdom." If they don't sign it, there will be a big war between the two countries. At that time, the lives were devastated, and Prime Minister Jia couldn't bear it? "Reading, a better reading experience.
