Chapter 85: A Different Taste

Li Si opened the wooden box, only to see that the wooden box was stuffed with a lot of cotton, obviously to protect against shocks. All kinds of white utensils lay in the box, crystal clear and shiny, but their surface was rounder than gold, and more dazzling than silver.

Lu Buwei stared at the porcelain and asked, "Is this ...... What is it? ”

Li Si picked up a teapot, handed it to Lu Buwei, and said, "Lu Xiangbang, of course this is a teapot. ”

Lu Buwei carefully took the porcelain pot, but he felt that it was lubricated and cool.

Ying Zheng also reached out and took a soup spoon and watched carefully.

"This is made by adding some kind of enamel occasionally obtained by craftsmen to the pottery, and because the time is still short, the various processes are not mature, and they are not carved and dyed, but they are quite pleasing to the eye." Lees explained.

Although Ying Zheng had seen this kind of porcelain, he had never seen so many styles, so he couldn't help but put down the soup spoon, picked up a wine glass, and looked at it again.

Lu Buwei was still carefully observing the porcelain pot, and saw that the body of the pot was slightly blue, the interface was smooth and neat, and the weight was not as heavy as gold, silver, copper and iron, and the feel was excellent, and it was very ornamental, so I couldn't help but praise it!

Li Si continued: "Since Lu Xiangbang thinks it is good, presumably the princes and nobles of all countries will also be quite admired, but this kind of skill is unique to Great Qin, isn't this kind of national gift very valuable?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "This is made with the value of copper and iron, but gold and silver are hard to buy. ”

LΓΌ Buwei retracted his gaze and said: "Although the jade is beautiful, it is not practical, but this porcelain has greatly improved the quality of the pottery, presumably those princes and nobles will compete to obtain it first, but I don't know what the output of this thing is." ”

Li Si smiled and said to Lu Buwei: "Even if the output is enough, it is not advisable to send more, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive, so that the princes and nobles can steal their heads." ”

"Hahaha......" Lu Buwei said with a smile, "That's a good point. ”

"In this case, tomorrow I will ask Jing Fan to bring more made porcelain into the palace, originally the widow wanted to use it at the time of the wedding, which is more useful." Ying Zheng said happily.

"If that's the case, the king might as well send this set of porcelain to Lu Xiangbang." Li Si saw that Lu Buwei liked these porcelains very much, and reminded Ying Zhengdao.

Ying Zheng also saw Lu Buwei's thoughts, and then said: "This is natural, although there will be more porcelain in the future, but the significance of this first set of objects is extraordinary, it is better to give it to the middle father." ”

LΓΌ Buwei was overjoyed, but he also pretended to refuse.

Ying Zheng insisted on sending it, and Lu Buwei no longer shirked it, and thanked Wang En and accepted it.

Ying Zheng and Li Si could see that Lu Buwei was pretending to be calm, and in fact, he was happy in his heart.

The three of them calculated the amount of porcelain needed, and then Li Si wrote and sorted out a detailed list of the national gifts of the nations.

LΓΌ Buwei then compiled a list of envoys to other countries and asked Yingzheng for details. Ying Zheng had no objections, and immediately decided on these candidates.

Lu Buwei felt a burst of secret joy in his heart, but he didn't know that his descendants had been exposed.

Everything was ready, and after LΓΌ Buwei resigned, he returned to the prime minister's mansion with a wooden box containing porcelain.

Ying Zheng smiled and said to Li Si: "Sir, this move is wonderful. ”

"In this way, it is a blessing for the king to kill multiple birds with one stone." Li Si replied.

"It's just that the widow has seen the porcelain made by Jing Fan before, and it is not so exquisite?" Ying Zheng was indeed quite surprised by the matter of porcelain.

Li Si smiled and said: "What the king saw before is the fusion of various types of paint and pottery bowls, and once the composition of the paint is fixed, the production of porcelain glaze is not difficult, and the molds for making pottery are also ready-made, and it will not take much trouble to make these porcelain." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and then asked, "According to Mr., this paint can be regarded as a copy?" ”

"The real paint is not exactly the same copy, the porcelain glaze made by Jing Fan is just a porcelain made by combining the paint with a few less ingredients combined with pottery." Li Si shook his head slightly and said.

"That's right." Ying Zheng didn't seem to be in a hurry, "Then don't worry, let's do the widow's marriage first, and then talk about the rest." ”

Li Si's attitude towards Ying Zheng was a little surprised, seeing that if he met the requirements for replicating items, he could enter the next layer of King Wu's Mausoleum, and the "Book of Changes" would follow, but Ying Zheng stabilized his mentality and was not so anxious.

But Li Si didn't ask much, and seeing that it was already early, he asked to resign from Jingyao.

Ying Zheng followed Li Si to the door of the study and called Zhao Gao over.

"Are you ready for what you have prepared?" Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao.

"Back to the king, everything is ready." Zhao Gao arched his hand and said.

"Okay, let's go and welcome Princess Hu Yu, and then arrange a few maidservants to serve." Ying Zheng said in a low voice, "After that, you go to Jingyao, well... It is best to know the detailed progress there every day, and the porcelain that Li Si took out just now really surprised the widow. ”

At this time, Li Si had already walked away, and Zhao Gao saw that there was no one around, so he also said in a low voice: "Back to the king, the porcelain in that wooden box was retrieved by the slave before noon."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was quite surprised.

"At that time, the king was sorting out the letter with Lu Xiangbang, and the slaves didn't dare to disturb, so they showed it to Lord Li Si, but who knew that Lord Li took it and gave it to Lu Xiangbang." Zhao Gao's tone was angry, and he seemed to be unwilling.

"Hahaha..."Ying Zheng smiled, "I see, don't worry, others won't rob you of your credit, as for giving it to Lu Xiangbang, it also has its own intentions." ”

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Yingzheng meant.

Although there was no one around, just the two of them, Ying Zheng still leaned in with Zhao Gao and whispered: "Although this porcelain has just been researched and the quantity is rare, but there are Jingfan's craftsmen, and the raw materials are not rare, and you must be able to make as much as you want in the future, and Lu Xiangbang obviously likes it, if the widow doesn't send it, he will also think about getting the law." And the widow not only gave him this box, but also gave him a lot, and then investigated who he gave it to. ”

Zhao Gao suddenly realized and said: "Is the king saying that he will follow the vine and touch the melon and lead out Lu Xiangbang's henchmen?"

"It's not just the court." Ying Zheng took out the list of envoys and the list of ministers of the countries that LΓΌ Buwei wrote to him, and said, "I want to keep an eye on these people, including those of the nations, and when necessary, secretly go to General Mengwu for assistance." ”

"The servants obey the king's commands." Zhao Gao put away the bamboo slip with the list written on it and stepped back to go out.

After a short time, Zhao Gao sent Princess Hu Yu to the door of the study, and then turned around and retreated.

Princess Hu Yu appeared at the door prettyly, timidly fiddling with her hair.

Ying Zheng greeted him and said with a smile: "You are so ashamed to answer, but the widow is not used to it."

Hearing Ying Zheng say this, there were only the two of them in the room, Princess Hu Yu immediately relaxed, and said angrily: "The king has been revolving around Sister Nansu all day long, where can he still think of others."

Ying Zheng knew that she was jealous, so she pretended to say in a deep voice: "According to you, the widow has really become a womanizer, and he has been circling around women all day long."

Hu Yu thought that Ying Zheng was really angry, and hurriedly explained: "Hu Yu didn't mean this, don't be angry."

Ying Zheng didn't hold back, laughed out loud, took Princess Hu Yu's hand, and sat down.

"Widows are not so stingy, how can they be so easy to get angry." Ying Zheng's voice became soft.

Hu Yu saw that Yingzheng was not angry, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Hu Yu is not so stingy, and he doesn't want to fight for anything with Sister Nansu."

"That's what you are." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Actually, the widow is not in a hurry, but the grandmother of the king forced the widow, saying that she had to borrow and repay, and she lost her Chengcheng, so she asked the widow to compensate her for a great-king grandson, so she called Nansu to come to bed." ”

This reason, which was explained to Hu Yu before, was just what Nan Su said, and now that Ying Zheng said it himself, he felt a lot smoother in his heart.

"In this way, the Queen Mother is at a loss." Hu Yu said.

"How so?" Ying Zheng asked.

"If you get a great-granddaughter, isn't the Queen Mother a loss?" Princess Hu Yu said in a low voice.

With that, the two laughed.

After laughing for a while, Ying Zheng asked: "Nansu's piano sound is very beautiful, do you know how to touch the piano?"

Hu Yu shook his head and said, "Hu Yu can only dance with knives and guns, so it's better to shoot arrows with the king."

Ying Zheng remembered the scene when she lost to her in the last safari, so she shirked and said: "This is the palace, how can you shoot arrows indiscriminately, why don't you dance the sword to the widow."

"Okay." Hu Yu got up to get the sword, but when he pulled the sword out of the scabbard, he saw that only half of the sword was left.

Ying Zheng then remembered that on the day he first got the Xuanyuan sword, he tried the sword with Li Si, and cut off the sword, but then forgot to replace it, and the broken sword was always placed there and forgotten in the corner.

Hu Yu stared at the broken blade and muttered, "Your Majesty, what sharp blade cut off this sword?"

Hu Yu was born with a love of martial arts, how could he not see that this sword was cut off.

"This sword made a gap before, and then it broke when it collided with other sharp blades." Ying Zheng said casually.

"Is the king fooled Hu Yu a child?" Hu Yu pursed his lips and said, "How can this sword be broken, it is clearly cut off, presumably the other sword is very sharp." ”

Women dig to the bottom of the matter, and they don't stop until they reach their goals.

Ying Zheng couldn't hide it from her, so he said: "That sword is indeed sharper, but it is not rare."

Hu Yu put back the broken sword, came to Ying Zheng's side, stretched out a small hand, and said, "Your Majesty, take a look."

Ying Zheng's face was embarrassed, and he said: "There is nothing to see, the widow ordered someone to bring a sword again, and replace it."

The more Ying Zheng said this, the more curious Hu Yu became, thinking that Ying Zheng must have hidden some treasure blade, and he was reluctant to take it out for her to see, so he pestered Ying Zheng endlessly.

Ying Zheng couldn't twist her, so he had to say: "It's okay to see, but you must not mention it to others, no one is allowed."

Seeing the solemnity of what Ying Zheng said, Hu Yu knew that Ying Zheng was not joking, but his curiosity was even stronger.

Ying Zheng asked Hu Yu to wait in place, turned around and entered the inner room, and took out the Xuanyuan sword.

Ying Zheng's sleeves covered half of the Xuanyuan Sword's blade, but it still couldn't hide the dazzling golden light.

The moment Hu Yu saw Xuanyuan Sword, he couldn't help but stay there, not only couldn't move his eyes, but even his mouth froze there, unable to speak.

Ying Zheng walked up to Hu Yu and shook the Xuanyuan sword in front of Hu Yu's eyes a few times. I saw that although Hu Yu's head didn't move, his eyes followed Xuanyuan Sword a few times, and he refused to leave for a moment.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel funny, put the Xuanyuan Sword in Hu Yu's hand, grabbed her shoulder and shook it.

Only then did Hu Yu come to his senses, holding the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands, looking at the Xuanyuan Sword from top to bottom, and muttering in his mouth: "What a golden sword!" ”

"It's true that the golden ones are true, but there's nothing unusual about them." Ying Zheng tried his best to keep the value of Xuanyuan Sword down.

"Your Majesty, what is the name of this sword?" Hu Yu's burning gaze stared at the strange lines on the scabbard, as well as the pattern that resembled the appearance of a monster.

"It's just a sword, what else is it called?" Ying Zheng said a little casually, if Hu Yu knew that this was an ancient treasure, she would not have asked for it.

With a bang, Hu Yu drew his sword out of its sheath. I saw that the blade of the sword was also golden, and it was a bright gold that was even more dazzling than the scabbard, and it was dizzying to look at, like a dream.

Ying Zheng knew that Hu Yu was martial and that it was not impossible to see the sword overnight, so he immediately said: "It's better for you to use this sword to dance the sword for the widow." ”

"Good!" Hu Yu said happily, then handed the scabbard to Ying Zheng, turned around and walked out quickly.

Ying Zheng also followed quickly, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Hu Yu dancing, the sharp sword brushed through the air, and the sunset in the west was reflected on the golden sword, which was even more dazzling.

What caught Yingzheng's eyes was a beautiful scenery that was rare in the world, dressed in a red beard and dancing a golden sword, just like a fairy dancing sword, the sword moved with people, and people danced with the sword.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Compared with Nansu, Zhennai is still and moving, one is one literary and one martial, one is like a soft wind and drizzle, and the other is like a blazing sun.

One is delicate, the other is vigorous, and the taste is really different.
