Shao Yi didn't plan to make such a complicated shape, "Okay, let's just keep it straight, like cutting out the four corners of this size of glass." Well, that's it at most. ”

He is a principled person, although the emperor's status is high enough, and it is necessary to please the emperor, he must not embarrass his daughter-in-law.

Xia Yanqing didn't understand Shao Yi's snort, paused, and finally couldn't hold back, and came up with an idea: "If it's not too troublesome, you can use glass sandwiched between two layers of carved wooden frames, so that the shape of the glass window can be much more arbitrary." ”

"Oh, ah...... Miss Xia is really smart......" Shao Yi almost jumped up to shake Xia Yanqing's hand, and almost said the wrong thing, "What's the trouble, the palace and the powerful and rich, the last thing you are afraid of is trouble, hehe." ”

Although Shao Yi didn't jump up, he couldn't sit still, he stood up and kept circling around the window sash, imagining various glass windows in fancy shapes.

This proposal is simply not too good!

All the things that should be said have been said, and the things that should be discussed have been discussed properly, although the time is very urgent, Shao Yi still rubbed in the steward's room of the kiln for a while before he was reluctant to leave with his subordinates and the wooden window.

…………

The glass and wood window samples were packed and let Shao Yi take them away.

Shao Yi didn't want others to know in advance what was dedicated to the emperor.

Similarly, Zhan Kangwen also wanted a sensation, and he didn't want people to know the specific situation of the rare treasures he helped Shao Yi contact and send to the palace.

And because Shao Yi said that this is a rare treasure, the handover of the glass window sample was personally brought by Zhan Kangwen. The location is in a small courtyard not far from the Royal Palace.

When Xiuyuan took the two little servants and brought the completely shapeless window sash into the living room of the small courtyard, Zhan Kangwen was really stunned.

This, this is the treasure that Shao Yi said?

What treasure can be so big?

Besides, can such a big thing be a treasure?

Originally, I was full of confidence and wanted to settle down in the emperor and put the other three old foxes in the cabinet together, but I suddenly felt that I was pitted by myself.

"Deputy Lieutenant Shao, is this the rare treasure you want to sacrifice to the Holy Lord?" Zhan Xiangye asked in an unkind tone. He's an old bone, and he's not been able to understand what impulsiveness is for a long time.

But now, he felt that his impulse could not be restrained immediately, and he wanted to rush over and kick this first gentleman in the capital to death.

How can this special mother ask him to reply to the emperor, he is dignified and has never done such an unreliable thing, it's too bad.

The elder ensuage beside Zhan Xiangye found that his master was wrong, and there were signs of green tendons flareting up, so he hurriedly leaned forward and held Xiangye's arm.

Xiangye, you are a lot old, but you can't stand the conflict of fists and feet.

"That's right," Shao Yi replied as a matter of course, "what is breaded here is definitely a treasure that has never existed in the world." ”

He commanded Xiuyuan again, "Open the package and show it to Xiangye." ”

At the end, when Xiuyuan tore off the innermost layer of coarse cloth and exposed a part of the white wooden lattice on it, Zhan Kangwen finally saw clearly that this was clearly a white wooden window sash that had not even been painted......

He dared to say that he wanted to offer treasures to the emperor, just this thing? No carving, no lacquering, crude sash ...... Shao Yi is impatient, right, joking with the emperor with this kind of thing?

He doesn't want to live anymore, no problem, but do you want to bother others?

In vain, he always thought that Shao Yi, this kid, was an unusual master, helping him once, and falling into his personal favor, maybe when he would be able to use it in the future.

But who knew that he had lived a lot of years, and he was actually pitted by a young junior.

Zhan Xiangye was really going to jump to scold this time, and his hands were raised......

Ay? No, the middle of the wooden window ...... What is that?

Zhan Xiang rubbed his old eyes, which were already a little dazzling, and then looked at the window sash that made him look down on him, it seemed to be really unusual.

He asked the long-term entourage beside him in a low voice: "In the middle of the wooden window, is there something?" ”

Chang Sui was also sluggish, but nodded very honestly: "Yes, there are things." ”

Affirming his judgment, Zhan Xiangye grabbed Shao Yi, dragged him to the window sash, pointed to the glass in the middle of the window sash with a trembling hand, and asked, "This, what is this?" ”

If it weren't for the slight reflection in this place, and the seams and marks that were put together, he would have thought it was empty.

Where is this simply unusual, this is simply unusual.

Shao Yi looked at Zhan Kangwen proudly and said, "Is Xiangye asking about the middle of the window sash?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhan Xiangye didn't look at him, just shook his beard and nodded.

"This is a rare treasure that Qingyun Zhaijin dedicated to the emperor, this thing is called glass."

"Glass? What is it? Isn't Qingyun Zhai made glass? Zhan Xiang finally came to his senses.

"It is a glass with relatively high transparency, and Qingyun Zhai has another name. The glass is inlaid on the doors and windows, which is warmer and more durable than hemp paper. The most important thing is that even in winter, when the doors and windows are closed, the view is unobstructed. ”

Zhan Xiang stretched out his hand, his fingers touched the glass splicing and repair, and muttered to himself: "It's really a rare thing, if these seams are repaired more carefully, it will be better." ”

It turns out that this old fox, who is comfortable in the court, also has times when he loses his temper. Shao Yi was proud in his heart and said with a smile: "As Xiangye said, the thing that Qingyun Zhai offers is a whole, seamless glass, and there is more than one. ”

"There's a whole piece of this thing?" Zhan Xiangye looked back suddenly, and almost flashed his neck...... How is it possible that this thing will have a whole piece, more than one piece?

Doesn't everyone say that glass is a very rare thing? This glass is large, so transparent, and so thin, it actually makes Shao Yi say so light?

Xiangye also knew that he was asking too much, and he didn't want Shao Yi's answer, he only stared at him suspiciously, and chose to believe him, and also believed in his judgment over the years: this kid is not a master who is willing to eat and wait for death.

He asked his entourage to help repair a few people, re-wrap the window sash, and even find a piece of oilcloth to wrap it in order not to make people guess.

After checking the approximate number of glasses with Shao Yi, he left with his things.

I don't know how this prime minister fooled the emperor, anyway, at the end of this year, the carpenter's shop and the internal affairs office under the Ministry of Industry suddenly became busy, and they were actually preparing to replace the windows of several rooms, including the imperial study.

…………

Time passed quickly, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the annealing kiln of the glass workshop went out to cool down, and Shao Yi and Xia Zitang also asked Shangguan for a day off.

Early in the morning of the 29th morning, before dawn, horses and vehicles gathered at the gate of the kiln.

The gatekeeper of the kiln knew that there was something important today, and he had been waiting for a long time, and then he heard the sound of cars and horses outside, opened the door a crack, and looked at it.

Seeing that it was indeed the owner and a group of related people, he hurriedly opened the door and welcomed people in.

In the glass workshop, although the annealing kiln has been shut down, the preparations for melting the liquid glass and making the sandwich glass have begun, and the workshop is still steaming.
