Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 140 The Value of the Thousand Taels of Flowers

"A lot of money to buy a mirror?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his small eyes narrowed happily, and he said excitedly to Zhao Erhu, "Tell me quickly."

"This is the news I just heard in the capital. It is said that a rich family wants to buy a mirror as a dowry for their daughter. They are willing to pay five hundred taels of silver. Five hundred taels of silver. Shall we sell it?"

Zhao Erhu made gestures while talking. Although he had seen a little of the world after following Liu Jin, it was still difficult for him to understand the matter of buying a mirror for five hundred taels of silver, and he was even more excited at the end.

"If you don't sell it, it's only five hundred taels of silver. What kind of a big family is this? It's just an average standard. I thought it could be so high."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.

This is a high-end and high-grade route, so it can't be too cheap at the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to raise the price later.

This is how people buy things. If they are cheap at the beginning and become more expensive later on, everyone is unwilling to accept them. If they are expensive at the beginning, and the price is lowered a little later, everyone will think it is very cheap. People’s hearts have been like this since ancient times. .

Five hundred taels of silver was far from what Liu Jin expected, so he didn't plan to sell it at all, and had to wait a little longer.

"Old Liu, I think we can sell it, but if we sell the smaller one, we can let more people see this mirror first, and naturally more people will want to buy this mirror."

"Everyone likes to compare. The more people who know about it, the more people will pursue the mirror. In particular, we must let those famous ladies experience the magic of this mirror, so that our price can be sold."

"If it's just hanging on like this all the time, maybe everyone's appetite will be gone if you hang on and hang on."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, thought for a while and said.

What he said made Liu Jin couldn't help but look at him with admiration. He didn't expect that he could still consider this level. It makes sense to think about it carefully.

If this mirror is to be sold at a high price, it is natural to release a small amount first, so that some people can experience the magic of this mirror first, so that more people will come to buy it.

"Brother Zhu, you are right, you should release some in small quantities, first release some small mirrors."

Liu Jin thought for a while and supported Zhu Houzhao's opinion, and then said to Zhao Erhu: "Let's release some small mirrors first."

……

Li Yuanwai's house was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the servants were busy. Li Yuanwai's only daughter was about to get married. Her husband's family was the youngest son of a fourth-rank official in the court. Although he was not the eldest son, Li Yuanwai's daughter was getting married In the past, she was also a regular wife, and her status was very good. More importantly, the future son-in-law is still a scholar.

Although Li Yuanwai is a big landlord, he has thousands of acres of fertile land outside the capital, and also has several shops in the capital, with a wealth of wealth.

But compared with his father-in-law, a fourth-rank official in the court, he is far behind, so he attaches great importance to this marriage, not to mention that the married daughter is also his only daughter.

Li Yuanwai was afraid of this little daughter if he held it in his mouth, and he was afraid of falling when he held it in his hand. He has been doted on since he was a child, and now his daughter is married to a husband's family that makes him very satisfied. Naturally, the marriage will be beautiful .

In order to let my little daughter not be underestimated when she comes to her husband's house, she can have a certain right to speak, and if her son can be elected in the future, it is natural that he will need help from his in-laws in his official career. Naturally, this dowry thing cannot Too shabby, he also took out his own money.

Three hundred mu of fertile land outside the capital was allocated, and two of the best shops in the capital were also allocated. As for all kinds of silk and satin, there were several carts filled, and gold, silver and jewelry were loaded Packed several boxes, four dowry young maids...

"Having a daughter is really a loser."

Li Yuanwai looked at the dowry piled up in the room, and couldn't help sighing, the poor people married their daughters to earn some gift money, and the rich and rich families had to lose money when they married their daughters.

"My lord, my lord, I've got a mirror, I've got a mirror."

Just when Li Yuanwai felt sorry for his property, the butler walked over with a few people carrying something like a dressing table.

"Have you bought a mirror?"

Li Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard this.

Recently, there has been a trend of mirrors in the capital. It is said that there are nine large mirrors in the imperial palace of the capital, which are very clear and can show the details of people. Only by adjusting your appearance can you enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters.

I don't know where a gust of wind blows to say that a married couple must have a mirror as a dowry to be considered a rich family. The old copper mirrors have been eliminated and outdated, and they can't be put on the stage at all, and they can't be upgraded.

Regarding his daughter's marriage, Li Yuanwai was extraordinarily attentive. Although it was expensive, the money had to be spent. As for this mirror, he naturally asked people to pay a lot of money to buy one.

No matter what, you still have to buy one side. The amount of money is not the key here, and it's all about your own family. My in-laws are people with status and status, so we can't lose face to the other party.

"I got it, I got it, I spent a whole thousand taels of silver to finally get this mirror."

The butler didn't even have time to rest, he raised a finger and said.

"One thousand taels of silver!"

When Li Yuanwai heard this, he couldn't help but his eyes darkened. If the housekeeper in front of him was not an old man who had been with him for decades, he would have suspected that the other party was lying to him.

"Yes, the one thousand taels of silver was only sold to me by the other party after I broke my mouth. The other party originally wanted to keep it for himself."

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, then said to the person who carried the mirror: "Take off the cloth, the thousand taels of silver is actually very worthwhile, take out this dressing table, it is definitely the best dowry."

Mr. Li looked at the dressing table. This dressing table is made of mahogany, painted with red lacquer, and the pattern of clouds is engraved on it. At the same time, there are small drawers that can be used to put things. This design is different from the traditional one. The dressing table is completely different, and it feels very tall.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there is a round mirror the size of a washbasin on the dressing table. This mirror is extremely smooth and very clear, and it can clearly see everything in front of it.

"It's really detailed and clear."

Li Yuanwai looked at the mirror carefully, touched it, a little unbelievable, this is the first time he saw such a clear mirror, he could see his own appearance clearly, it is really better than the bronze mirror in the past, I don’t know how many times.

"This thousand taels of silver is worth it!"
