I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 195 Mirror
Pei Hongluo had no idea what a mercury mirror looked like, he just wanted a mirror that could allow him to see his appearance clearly.

Her eyes sparkled as she said excitedly, "Sister Xie, don't you like it? I can't even imagine the kind of mirror you're talking about. If I could really make it and sell it in a shop, I'd make a fortune!"

Xie Fei was stunned.

Yeah, why didn't she think of it?

Xie Fei immediately became excited, and blamed himself for not thinking of selling mirrors.

To make a mercury glass mirror, you need a lot of materials.

Xie Fei didn't have any, so he found Chen Dafa and asked him to collect them. For the others, Pei Hongluo sent his servants to look for them.

It took two days to finally gather all the materials. Next, it would take a lot of effort to refine and forge the mirror.

Xie Fei originally thought that Pei Hongluo, as the daughter of a marquis, might be a little spoiled.

But unexpectedly, this girl is very strong and has strong hands-on skills. She is very adept at using an axe, a saw, an ink ruler and a square.

She just needed Xie Fei to instruct her on what to do, and she would do it without Xie Fei having to do anything extra.

After a few days, Xie Fei felt that she was more useful than Pei Yuan.

The first time making a mirror was not smooth, and Pei Hongluo even lived on the farm.

The most important thing is to forge the glass first.

There is "colored glaze" in this era, but it is not the most transparent and colorless pure "glass".

Xie Fei searched through books and sought guidance from the most famous glazed tile craftsman. It was with great difficulty that he and Pei Hongluo were able to make glass.

This glass is not as stable as those made with modern technology and is fragile and easily broken, but it is as crystal clear as ice, which fascinated Pei Hongluo.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, this is truly a treasure. If it could be made into a vase, how many people would love it?"

Xie Fei thought so too, but it was already a stretch for them to make such transparent glass. Even the glass craftsmen said that it was almost impossible to fire it into complex shapes.

"It's fresh, but it breaks too easily. Let's just make a mirror first."

The two of them continued to tinker with it, and it took some time before they finally made the mirror.

When Pei Hongluo saw a real glass mercury mirror for the first time, he stared at it for a long time, as if he was seeing what he looked like for the first time.

Xie Fei hadn't seen such a clear mirror in many years. He sighed and said, "Glass mirrors are still more useful. The spots on my face are indeed a bit abrupt."

Pei Hongluo didn't say anything, just stared at the mirror.

Xie Fei understood how shocked she was, so he didn't say anything and let her have fun slowly before talking about doing business.

As soon as I returned to Songyueju, Mother Liu came to greet me.

"Just now, news came from the Pei Mansion that Madam Xiao is out of danger."

Xie Fei was surprised: "I didn't hit her a few times, why did she get sick for so long?"

Mother Liu was quite speechless, "You hit my head."

Xie Fei thought so too, "I thought the lady had a very hard head, but she can't stand it even after being hit several times."

She had kept it here. If it were Fu Yu, Xiao Shirong would be waiting in line to be reincarnated.

After sitting down in the courtyard, Xie Fei asked with great interest: "Has this matter leaked out?"

"The old lady was very tight-lipped and only told others that she was ill."

Xie Fei sneered, "You've used this excuse too many times, why don't you change the name?"

But even if the news came out, outsiders would only think it was an outrageous rumor, and no one except the Xiao family would care. As for the Xiao family, as long as Ji Miaoxuan wrote a letter to explain what happened, they would not make a big deal in order to keep things quiet.

Does it count as Xiao Shirong injuring 800 enemies and losing 1,000 of his own money this time?
Xie Fei was deep in thought when he heard Mother Liu whisper, "The master is not at home."

Xie Fei raised his eyebrows, "Where did he go?"

Mother Liu shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know." She only knew that he was not in the mansion.

Xie Fei thought for a moment and said, "Let him be."

Anyway, in the past, "Yuan San" often disappeared, but when she needed him, he always showed up in time.

After a while, Pei Hongluo ran in, holding the mirror and said, "I want to fix this mirror and sell it to make a lot of money!"

Xie Fei encouraged: "Okay, I support you."

Pei Hongluo's face flushed with excitement, and he kept talking to Xie Fei about what materials to use to decorate the mirror so that he could sell it for a good price.

Xie Fei was very interested in doing business, but he didn't have the brains for it. On the other hand, Pei Hongluo's family all ran into business, so he was not only influenced by it, but also had the financial and power to support him.

"I'll invest in it," Xie Fei said with a slow smile, holding the teacup, "When we make a profit, you can give me dividends."

Pei Hongluo smiled flatteringly, and approached her and said coquettishly: "Good sister-in-law, if you have other ideas, please don't hide them from me. Let's invent and research together, and then sell them to make money. This is the best of both worlds."

She was so close that her breath sprayed on Xie Fei's face.

Xie Fei put a finger against her nose, gently pushed it away, and said, "I am a concubine, and whatever money I earn belongs to the Pei family. Miss Hongluo, there are some things that you and I just need to know."

Pei Hongluo immediately reacted and nodded his head, "I made this mirror, and I opened the shop on my own. I'll give you the profits from the profits quietly!"

Xie Fei was satisfied and discussed with her how to package the glass mirror.

A bare mirror can be sold, but not at a good price.

Using gems, silk flowers, gold and silver, etc., supplemented by complex and perfect craftsmanship, although it is flashy, wealthy families love luxurious things and they can better show their status.

That night, the two of them drew many styles, and Pei Hongluo asked craftsmen to make them custom-made.

Her family had already agreed to support her in starting a business when she turned 15.

Mrs. Zhu had already prepared the shop for her, but she hadn't decided what to do with it yet.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Even Xie Fei is looking forward to what kind of trend this mirror can trigger in Beijing.

In the evening, Fu Yu said, "The second wife is really strange. She has a marquisate above her, but she refuses to enter the government. She also supports the women in her family to do business and show up in public. If it were the first and third wives, Miss Pei would probably be scolded to death."

Xie Fei said: "The second branch's refusal to enter the government may have something to do with the old lady. As for Miss Hong Luo, you can tell from her character that her family is very open-minded."

Mrs. Zhu was not a pedantic person, so she was willing to give her daughter the greatest freedom and support her in doing whatever she wanted, which made Xie Fei very envious.

In this world, there are not only parents who oppress their children, there are also people like the second wife who are willing to fight against the world for their children and encourage the younger generation to go against the current.

After summer, there are many mosquitoes at night.

Xie Fei took some herbs, ground them into powder, and scattered them in the corners of the walls, windowsills, etc., and hung a medicine bag at the head of the bed.

But in the middle of the night, you can still hear the buzzing of mosquitoes, which is very annoying.

After being woken up, she suddenly opened her eyes, sat up and planned to have a big fight with the mosquito.

However, the silent black figure at the bedside almost made her heart jump to her throat.
