Chapter 564: Is it okay to ask back?
"This king didn't enter casually," Zhu Changxun put the fire fold in his hand back and pulled the corners of his lips and said, "This king walked in seriously after some careful consideration." ”
"What is well thought out?" Jiang Shu's brows furrowed slightly.
Zhu Changxun took two steps forward, stared at her and said: "Think about it, this king came to you, but he stood alone in the courtyard, this is going to be spread, I am afraid that it will be you who is rude in the eyes of the world." ”
"So, do you want to thank you for saving my reputation?" Jiang Shu suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth and asked.
"With this king, you don't have to be so polite." Zhu Changxun immediately waved his hand generously.
Jiang Shu looked at him as a matter of course, and his face couldn't help but change.
In the past, she only thought that he was unpleasant when he spoke and acted acting, but she didn't expect to be so cheeky. It's clear that what I'm doing is wrong, and I have to make it look like I'm thinking about others.
didn't want to be in the same room with this kind of person for a long time, so after a pause, she said coldly: "Since the prince has come to see me, I have seen it, can I invite it back?" ”
"That's how you want this king to go?" A flat tone, without the slightest emotion.
"Slow down and don't send it!" Jiang Shu didn't think about it, and answered straightforwardly.
"Okay, since you are so unwilling to keep this king, this king has no choice but to leave." Zhu Changxun deliberately showed a self-deprecating smile and made a gesture to leave.
However, after taking two steps, Jiang Shu didn't see him staying, and finally turned around: "Do you know why this king came this time?" ”
"Didn't you come to see me?" Looks like that's what he just said.
Zhu Changxun smiled noncommittally, took out a rosewood box about one inch high and three inches long and wide from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "This is for you." ”
"What is this?" Jiang Shu lowered his eyes and glanced at it, but did not pick it up.
"Open it and take a look, and you'll know." Zhu Changxun smiled faintly and handed the wooden box a little closer to her.
Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out to take it and gently lifted the lid.
Without the lid of the box, a small round mirror with a silver border and emerald was unobstructed in front of her eyes.
Jiang Shu carefully picked it up, held it in front of him and looked at it for a while, and said, "The stone on this is an emerald, the color is very good, and the inlay is also chic." ”
"Didn't you find anything more chic?" Zhu Changxun saw that she didn't focus on the key point, and reminded with a smile.
"You mean the carving of this frame?" Jiang Shu looked at it carefully again, "The lines are quite delicate, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is definitely not ordinary." ”
"Didn't you find something more special?" Zhu Changxun couldn't help but stiffen with a smile on his face, and reminded again.
"What's more special?" Jiang Shu looked puzzled.
"The mirror surface of this mirror," Zhu Changxun raised his hand and pointed to the round mirror in her hand, "This is a Western glass mirror that this king bought with a lot of money, but when he saw that the outer frame was too rough, he found a skilled craftsman to specially make a frame for it." ”
"Western...... Glass mirrors? Jiang Shu lowered his head again and glanced at the delicate small round mirror in his hand, and then he realized that there was no glass mirror in the Ming Dynasty, and people still used copper mirrors.
It's just that such a small piece of mercury lenses costs a lot of money? Is it more expensive than a few fine emeralds set on the outside?
Zhu Changxun nodded slowly, held her hand and held the mirror up to face her: "Look at the figure it reflects, is it much clearer than the ordinary bronze mirror?" ”
"Yes." Of course, the glass mirror is clearer than the bronze mirror, this Jiang Shu has long known, gently put the round mirror into the wooden box, and handed it back to him, "I've finished reading it, please take it back." ”
"What? You don't like it? Zhu Changxun had a slight hint of surprise on his face.
Jiang Shu saw his reaction, and couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart: I prefer you to give me the heavy money you paid for this broken mirror.
It's just that although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't say it, and after a moment of silence, she said: "No, it's just that it's useless, I can't just ask for the prince's things." ”
