He also has a gift that Ming Yu specially prepared for the princess and concubine. There are several mirrors the size of a palm. Listening to Mingyu's meaning is to open the high-end market first, no matter what is popular, it will open the door to the market. He doesn't understand Ming Yu's rhetoric, but he can understand what he wants to express.

"It should be. There has never been such a thing in Dayan before. The fourteenth brother specially sent it here, enough to imagine its rarity. The father also saw it. It must be better than the bronze mirror." Ming Ye smiled.

The emperor also nodded, "Well, although this old fourteenth is unreliable, it is still very good to have this heart. I heard that the dozens of trucks of goods that came back this time were exchanged for those things you sent in the past? I remember, back then, there were only a dozen carts of fabrics, porcelain, etc., right?"

Ming Ye bowed and said, "Exactly, those are also old and used goods that are not very valuable. I didn't expect to get so many things back. It is also because the fourteenth brother has a good vision." The

emperor was very satisfied. "Since the two of you have done this business together, the brothers are united, and they will cut the money! In this capital, the old fourteenth is far away from Liangzhou and can't be looked after, so you should take care of it for the old fourteen. Fourteen is also counting on such a little business to build a horse farm."

Mingyue had already reported to the emperor that she wanted to build a horse farm. He also didn't want the emperor to spend money for him, but only said that he would build it with the money he earned. The emperor didn't care about him either, thinking that he was just building a small horse farm for casual fun, and it wouldn't cost much money.

Ming Ye had also heard of this matter, and said with a smile: "Father, please rest assured, I have my own share of this transaction, how could I be unwilling, no matter what, and the cloth and porcelain presented to me, then If you can get the cost, it's impossible for your son to make a loss."

These words amused the emperor, who has always been restrained.

The observant son also learned to joke. Sure enough, those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, and following the old 14th, who is indifferent, also makes the prince a lot more lively. That's fine, as for young people, you have to have the vigor of young people occasionally. How can you look like a young person if you are too old?

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. It has to be said that the trick Ming Yu taught him was quite effective for his father. It wasn't until Ming Ye saw the emperor's face showing a little tiredness that he got up and left.

After returning, he sent the small gifts prepared by Ming Yu to the palace staff to deliver them to each palace one by one. These small gifts Ming Yu specially prepared and spent a lot of thought. The masters of each palace are of different grades, and everyone's preferences are also different. Therefore, the things he sends are also based on this, and he prepares all kinds of different things carefully.

Xu Xi has already started preparations according to what Ming Yu said. I believe that it will not be long before the items of the Hu people in the capital will be spread by word of mouth in people's mouths.

In the palace, Concubine Zhen opened the exquisite gift box sent by Prince Ming Yutuo.

She entered the palace in Lund's seventeenth year, and she climbed step by step from a small noble to the position of the current concubine Zhen. Because her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat like the deceased Yuan Empress, and her temperament is also straightforward and unpretentious, she is quite loved by the emperor. Now she can sit on an equal footing with the earliest concubine Hui in the palace, and her status in the palace is also rising. .

Hearing what the Fourteenth Prince sent, Concubine Zhen dismissed it, what good things are in the wild land. Wouldn't it be a waste of her time to show it to her? However, the Fourteenth Prince was not familiar with her when he was in the palace, and the two did not have any intersection. This time I made a special trip to send a gift, but if she didn't accept it, she couldn't justify it.

However, when she saw the slap-sized, crystal-clear mirror in the box, she could hardly take her eyes away. He happily held it in his hand and looked left and right, when he looked at the face of a woman with fair skin and beautiful eyebrows in the mirror. Surprised in her heart, she couldn't help herself, the person inside was really herself? How can you see so clearly? It's almost like reflecting people inside.

Carefully read it over and over again, um! The eyebrows are not long enough, the rouge is not red enough, and the powder is not white enough. How can I go out and meet people like this?

After she re-dressed, Concubine Zhen looked at herself in the mirror and was satisfied. With such a treasure, of course she had to show off all over the place, and all the concubines in the palace were scrambling to show off what they got.

Today I show off my mirror, tomorrow she shows off the spices sent from the Western Regions, secretly competing for comparison. Concubine Hui looked at the few pieces of skin she had here and wanted to shred them. This Ming Yu can't see her, so let's see what they have given. She doesn't have any of those mirrors, spices, and agate gems. What would she do with such a few pieces of fur? Could it be used as clothes to put on? Really pissed off.

Looking at Concubine Zhen, she got a small mirror the size of a palm, which she showed off in front of her all day long. Looking at the small mirror, thrushing her eyes and scratching her head, she could not wait to rush up and tear her fox face.

However, there is no way, she just wants to show off, and she has nothing to show off. This will not work. In this palace, they have something they have but they don't have, what is this like?

After thinking about it, I finally sent the palace staff to ask, where is there such a thing? In any case, she will get one or two back.

The weather in the capital was calm, but dark tides were surging. Even if there is a little bit of trouble, it can immediately spread to the whole city.

In the capital, there are countless wealthy families and dignitaries.

In a splendid backyard, such a dialogue came out. "What? You actually said no? You tell this lady again? Why not?"

A servant was trembling, knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, "Miss, I really didn't expect it to disappear so soon. I went to the lady's order. I didn't expect that there were too many people lining up to buy it, and many people didn't buy it."

The lady was so angry that she couldn't care about her ladylike manners, "Trash. , I told you to buy something and you can't buy it back, what's the use of taking you?"

Just as she was losing her temper, a young man came over and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with Wei Er? Why did she lose her temper?"

Chen Yuwei felt even more aggrieved when she saw the person coming, "Brother! I just want a mirror , ask someone to buy it, I can't do such a simple thing, I'm really pissed off."

Chen Bi was stunned, "Isn't it just a mirror? What's so hard to buy, you have it at home, why go out to buy it? ?" He had just returned from visiting his own village outside the city for the past two weeks, so naturally he didn't understand what kind of mirror his sister was talking about.

Chen Yuwei stomped her feet, "Where is the kind of mirror at home, this kind of mirror can completely reflect a person's appearance."

Is there such a mirror? how is this possible? Chen Bi was a little unconvinced. He always spoiled this sister, and she could not get anything she wanted. Seeing that her sister was getting angry, she quickly comforted her: "Okay, you can buy it if you want." To the man kneeling on the ground, he said sternly, "What's the matter? You can't even buy a mirror?" After speaking, his tone also became severe. Are these servants not taking their masters seriously and doing things well? Not working hard? If so, it's time to fix it up.

The servant was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, "My eldest son, there is nothing the villain can do. When the villain rushed over, there were already many people waiting to buy it. After a while, the mirrors were sold out.

" It's over?" Chen Bi frowned, "Don't you know how to sign up for our Shangshu Mansion? You are not good at handling things, what's the use of you?" The

servant shrank his neck, but he wanted to sign up, but there was a queue in front The identity of the person is not simple, not to mention the officials and servants of other grades, he even saw consorts, people from the prince's mansion, and even many people in the palace. But they all lined up to buy according to the rules, he really didn't dare to be reckless, and he came back without success.

When he reported the situation again, Chen Bi had nothing to say. What kind of mirror was it that alarmed so many forces to chase?

Chen Yuwei was on the side, but she didn't give up, "No, I want a mirror, brother, help me think of a way, but I saw it, Wen Waner has one in her hand, you don't know, her pride is in the Among us, we have all the limelight."

Wen Wan'er is the daughter of Prime Minister Wen. She is knowledgeable and reasonable, gentle and pleasant, and is quite famous in the capital. Because she got a very special mirror, she liked it very much. Yesterday, she specially held a mirror appreciation meeting, and invited many ladies from the official family to participate. Chen Yuwei was one of them.

Chen Yuwei considers herself to be outstanding in appearance, and will be the focus of every party, but Wen Waner stole the limelight yesterday because of a mirror. Why not be popular. To be honest, this mirror is indeed very rare. She is also jealous of this mirror, and she must have such a mirror anyway.

So, there is just a scene. Chen Bi couldn't be bothered by her, so she had no choice but to say: "Okay, brother

, go and find out for you and find out who the seller is. I don't believe it. Our Chen family still can't buy a mirror."

, Chen Yuwei broke into a smile.

Like Chen Yuwei, there are not a few people who lose their temper at home. Wen Waner's party allowed everyone to see this exquisite mirror, but Chen Yuwei was not the only one who was jealous.

Xu Xi implemented it according to Ming Yu's method, and the effect has been greatly improved. On the one hand, give some small gifts to influential people in power in Beijing, such as the palace of the prime minister, so that they can promote it if they feel good after using it. This is also why the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Wen will hold such activities as the Appreciation of the Mirror. Xu Xi is the prince's person, representing the prince's mansion, how could these dignitaries not give him face?

On the other hand, it also began to spread in the palace. Who is the concubine in the palace? In Ming Yu's words, it is someone who is at the forefront of fashion. They all use what they say. How can people outside Not to follow suit?

In the end, he sent a large number of people to promote these things brought back from the Western Regions to Fanbang. They either preached the peculiar scenery of the Western Regions in the form of storytelling, or the rumors that the things from the Western Regions gathered in the streets and alleys were so miraculous and precious.

For a while, there was a lot of buzz in the capital, mirrors that can clearly see people or objects, many spices with strange smells, blankets and furs with beautiful craftsmanship, and red, red, green and green agate jewelry with peculiar shapes . These things have never been heard of. Everything is impacting people's brains and senses. People who are used to seeing Dayan's items have a great interest in these things from foreign countries through word of mouth.

The rich and powerful are naturally ahead, and they have to buy a copy to show off whatever they say. Think about what the emperors and concubines in the palace are using, it must be the best in the world. If other homes have them, but not at home, what kind of words are they like? I can't stand my head up in the presence of others.

Just waited to find out where to buy it, everyone sent people to wait early. Since these are the Crown Prince's property, how dare these people make trouble? It's not about queuing up to buy.

As a result, someone like the one sent by Chen Yuwei appeared in the back, and naturally they couldn't buy it. There was no way to do this.
