0396 A Shocking Mirror
Su Jinli glanced at Chu Yan: "Does Ah Yan think that I will lie to you?" ”
Chu Yan hurriedly changed his words: "Of course this king didn't mean that!" ”
Then he quickly changed the topic, "This kind of mirror of equal height, but I don't even have a father and queen mother!" When the mirror is made, the father must be rare! ”
Su Jinli didn't bother to bother with him, and directly stated his purpose: "The store is almost ready, but it hasn't been named yet, and the plaque hasn't been done." Why don't Ah Yan choose a name and give it a plaque? ”
Chu Yan was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's okay, this mirror is a treasure at first glance, it's better to call it Baojing Tower." ”
After speaking, he couldn't wait for someone to take pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and wrote the words "Baojinglou" on the paper.
His handwriting is very good, after all, he has a noble status and has a very good upbringing since he was a child. Even if I don't like to read, I still practice a good handwriting.
Just by looking at the words he writes, you can see his character.
The three words of "Baojinglou" are written like iron painting silver hooks, sharp and sharp, and the force penetrates the back of the paper.
After Su Jinli saw it, she didn't dislike it.
Although this word is a little arrogant, it is also domineering, which is very suitable for their mirror.
After Chu Yan left, Su Jinli asked Cinnabar to find someone to make a plaque.
Early the next morning, the Beijing Daily sold out as usual.
In fact, with the fire of the Beijing Daily, the Zhuangyuan Bookstore launched a newspaper ordering service.
You can book for a month, a quarter, or even half a year, a year.
If you book for a long time, you can also get a VIP card.
After ordering the newspaper, a special person will deliver the newspaper to each house early in the morning to ensure that the owner of the house can see the newspaper as soon as possible.
Today, thousands of households have subscribed to the newspaper.
Although most of them are booked for a month, they are very good.
You know, this is a household, and each household has more than one newspaper subscription.
There are many powerful people in the capital, and there are also many large families. These dignitaries and large families have a large population.
With a large population, it is of course impossible to subscribe to only one newspaper when you subscribe to it.
You can't have dozens or hundreds of people passing it on to each other, right?
That's not to make people laugh to death!
Newspapers are not expensive, only two cents a copy, even if there are 100 copies a day, it is only 200 yuan, and after a month, it is only six yuan.
What is this money for dignitaries and large families?
And because the Jiang family's newspaper is too expensive, it may not be able to sell 1,000 copies per issue.
Although there are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, many generals and nobles do not like the Jiang family's articles, but prefer to read the Beijing Daily and the gossip in the capital.
There are good advertisements in the Beijing Daily every time, and there are many interesting gossip stories on the Beijing Gossip, which are very suitable for passing the time.
For them, these two newspapers are much more interesting than the Jiang family's Bailu Literary Newspaper.
On this day, as the Beijing Daily continued to send out, more and more people saw the news of the mirror.
This news quickly caused a heated discussion among everyone.
Especially in the teahouses and restaurants in the capital, many people are discussing.
"Silver and glass for mirrors? Deceptive, right? ”
"Isn't it all made of copper? How do you make a mirror with silver and glass? ”
"You don't know this, I heard that water jade can also be made into a mirror!"
"What? Can water jade be made into a mirror? You're definitely bragging! How does Shui Yu make a mirror? ”
"What am I lying to you for? The news came from there! ”
The person who spoke pointed his finger to the sky, quickly withdrew his finger, and continued, "It is said that during the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, Princess Qin sent a mirror to the empress mother, and the mirror was very clear, it was made of water jade!" ”
He said this very quietly, for fear that someone would hear him.
After a pause, he continued, "I also heard that many noblewomen and daughters saw the mirror at that time, and later asked people everywhere for a face!" ”
Hearing this, someone couldn't help but say, "That's right, I know about this!" Some time ago, there were indeed many people asking about the mirror! ”
"In this way, since the New Year's Festival, all the water jade on the market has been bought, is it because of this?"
"Eighty percent of this is the case!"
"So, water jade can really be made into a mirror? What does the mirror look like? ”
"It's not clear, it's definitely a good thing anyway! Otherwise, can you like it? ”
"It's the same, but can this mirror still be made of silver and glass?"
"Who knows? Since it's all reported, it should be okay, right? ”
"I don't know what this mirror made of silver and glass will look like, if only I could see it."
"How dare you think about it! Mirrors made of silver and glass must be priceless! Can you see? ”
……
Not only the people are talking, but the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital are also particularly concerned about this news.
Especially the ladies!
When I first participated in the palace banquet, Su Jinli's gift to Queen Zhang was opened in public!
Quite a few people have seen that mirror.
Except for those who were farther away from the seats, they could see it all those who were closer.
Ever since they saw it, they have been thinking about it, and when they visit their relatives, they can't help but mention it.
Naturally, word spread.
However, what the ladies are thinking about is not only the mirror, but also the lipstick, makeup brushes and lifelike soap flowers given by Su Jinli, which also make them unforgettable.
The older ones were particularly concerned about the reading glasses worn by Mrs. Yang, so they went to the Hou Mansion to visit the door, just to see the reading glasses.
I heard that it was made of water jade, and they also wanted to find someone to make it.
Where did they think that all the high-quality water jade on the market was bought, and they couldn't find a place to buy it!
As the saying goes, what you can't get is the best.
Because they haven't been able to get it, these ladies are even more worried.
And the female dependents are bored at home on weekdays, and after the Beijing Daily and Beijing Gossip came out, they became things to pass the time.
Especially in the Beijing Daily, whether it is a serialized book or an advertisement, it is their favorite.
So among the people who subscribe to the newspaper, there are still many young girls' dependents.
It's not a matter of a day or two for the ladies to think about the mirror, but now when they see the news in the newspaper, where can they still sit still?
Of course, I can't wait to let the mother-in-law and maid around me go out to inquire about the news!
To Steward Zhou's surprise, because of the mirror, the newspaper on this day was sold out of stock!
Not only that, but there are also many people who run to the Zhuangyuan Library to inquire about the mirror!
After Steward Zhou heard the news, his eyes widened in surprise: "There are so many people who inquire about the news of the mirror?" When the Treasure Mirror Tower opens, won't even the threshold be broken? ”
