Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 143 Colorful Glass Mirror

When the two came to the palace wall, Li Shimin raised his binoculars to observe slowly, looking east and west, and exclaimed from time to time.

"That's right. With this item, you can have a panoramic view of Chang'an City. It is indeed a good item. I will let people see if there are any transparent crystals in the warehouse. If there is any, I will send it to you. The more items there are, the better. Let's go back and take a look once in a while." That's fine." Li Shimin greeted, restraining his desire to continue playing.

After coming down, Li Shimin asked Feng Daiwen to go home. After all, he had not returned home after leaving Chang'an for several months...

In Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin, who was in a good mood, went to visit his eldest grandson who had just given birth, and when he entered the room, he found several sons and daughters were there, and he couldn't help but ask with great comfort: "Why did you make an appointment to visit your mother and younger brother together today? "

While waiting for everyone to salute, Li Shimin hurriedly walked to the bed and held down the elder grandson who wanted to get up. The eldest grandson of the two couples for many years can naturally understand her husband's mood, and asked Li Shimin with a charming smile: "Second brother is in a good mood today. What a joy."

"Haha, of course it's a happy event. Your son-in-law is back, and Guang'an's marriage will not be delayed. Why is it not a happy event?" Li Shimin laughed.

The eldest grandson glanced at the blushing Guang An and said, "Didn't Second Brother just ask why they came here together today?"

"Yeah? Why."

"Isn't it just for presents, second brother, look, these are all given by your dear son-in-law. It's rare for the children to have the heart to send them to the concubine to choose first." The eldest grandson pointed to several large boxes beside the bed.

Only then did Li Shimin discover that the several boxes on the ground contained all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and accessories.He couldn't help but smiled and said: "Haha, so you all know it, it's not bad, you know how to offer treasures to Guanyin's maidservant."

"Yes, father, my brother-in-law also presented a big rhinoceros to the emperor, and I know the elephant in the show!" Chang Le immediately said chatteringly, holding Li Shimin's hand.

"Oh, isn't there something interesting for Chang Le?" Li Shimin asked while stroking Chang Le's head dotingly.

"Yes! Yes! Father, look, this belongs to me and my sister." Chang Le immediately ran over excitedly holding the birdcage as if offering a treasure.

Following what the animal trainer taught, "Auspicious princess! Auspicious princess!" The two emerald parrots immediately yelled loudly, making Chang Le giggle.

Li Shimin looked at Chang Le, whose face was red and smiling, he was happy, but also envious and said to himself: "Stinky boy, you didn't give me anything good."

The eldest grandson gave him a blank look and said: "Why not? There was not enough high-grade agarwood in the palace before. Your good son-in-law said that in order to let you have a good rest, he gave away hundreds of catties of ambergris and countless agarwood! Enough for you It is used for non-stop use and reward."

The ancients have long attached importance to incense and jade, and almost everyone with money will wear jade and sachets.Many literati like to concoct their own sachets, which are used to repel insects and mosquitoes.In the past, there were not so many public toilets, and there were a lot of grass and trees. In summer, mosquitoes were everywhere. Ordinary people almost planted some mosquito-repellent plants in front of and behind the house, such as wormwood.

The second is to cover up body odor. Many people don't take a bath often, especially in winter. It is extremely cold, but there are not many places that are airtight and where you can take a hot bath.Therefore, I generally don’t like to take a bath in winter, and the noble family also likes to eat mutton, so the body odor is naturally heavier, so incense is needed at this time.

Ambergris and agarwood both have the effect of calming the nerves, and they are very rare. They are deeply loved by the royal family and nobles.In the past, it was paid tribute by other countries, and Hu merchants sold it very rarely. Top grade is almost a term used by the royal family, and occasionally a little bit is rewarded by the emperor.

"Haha! Really, this ambergris is valuable medicinally, I'd better save some for Daoist Sun, maybe someday it will be useful." Li Shimin laughed happily, secretly thinking that I can finally be generous once, think about it, once Rewarding the minister with tens of catties of agarwood, leaving the minister stunned feels refreshing, but there are other words in his mouth.

Looking back, Li Shimin asked curiously again: "Guang'an, what did that kid bring you?" After all, it is so good to give yourself and others, with so many items, according to Feng Daiwen's personality, there should be something good for Guang'an.

"Hmph!" Chang Le was dissatisfied now, snorted coldly and turned his head away with pursed lips.

The eldest grandson smiled and did not speak. Guangan took out a mirror coyly. It was indeed a mirror. It was not a traditional bronze mirror, but one side was smoothed with crystal, and the back was plated with silver, and it was inlaid in a copper frame. Luxurious mirror inlaid with gemstones of various colors.Feng Daiwen himself just asked the craftsmen to inlay it on the copper frame, but there are so many precious stones on board, and such an exquisite mirror, the craftsmen have already regarded it as a rare treasure, so it is not allowed to let it go. It was just a long time of discussion on the choice of gemstones, and finally made Two luxurious mirrors.

Feng Daiwen had no feeling about naming the mirrors, so he let the craftsmen choose them himself. The large and small sides were chosen as colorful glazed mirrors. It was just because the mirrors were as smooth as colored glazes when they were taken out to appreciate the sunlight and reflected the colorful rays of light under the sun. exquisite.

Li Shimin took the mirror and looked into it in surprise. The mirror clearly reflected his surprised appearance. He could even count the beards on his face. He touched his slightly haggard face and handed it to Guang'an reluctantly. I have a lot of surprises.Looking back at the sullen Changle, he said: "Such treasures are naturally rare, and they should be rare treasures from that small country. Let me ask them to contribute a few more."

"There are two sides. The big one is given to the queen mother, and the young one is at the eldest sister's place. This is made by my brother-in-law, and there is no material to make extra." Chang Le still said unhappily.

"Brother-in-law said it was made on a boat. The crystals have other uses, and the two largest pieces made two mirrors." Li Tai rushed to explain.

"Hmph! This brat just told me that there is no big crystal for looking at the moon, so he used it to curry favor with women." Li Shimin was stunned, and said angrily.

"Your Majesty! The courtiers and concubines also have a side." The eldest grandson let out a coquettish voice, and Guang'an's face turned red in an instant.

"Cough, cough, let me take a look at your presents." Li Shimin knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, fake coughed twice, turned his head and asked Li Taihu with a straight face.

The three Li Chengqian brothers had no choice but to take out their sunglasses, and Li Ke put them on his face pretending to be cool, and obediently took them off.Only then did Li Shimin realize that the person who took over Li Chengqian put it on and said, "You are a prince, how can you play around and lose your ambition?"

Li Chengqian had no choice but to bow his head and respond, "I understand." Then he took out the nanmu box that contained the sunglasses.

"Brother-in-law said that we only need to burn new glass, mirrors, sunglasses, etc., as many as you want." Li Tai said quickly, afraid that Li Shimin would confiscate his.

Li Shimin...
