Red Mansion Wind

Chapter 22 Mirror Fate Baixiangzhai

Beijing.

On the Royal Street, it was very interesting for Zhou Xu to play all the way. The shops, large and small, were bustling, and he was dazzled by the dazzling array of goods.

Yesterday when I came out with his father, I just glanced at it briefly, but today I can see it clearly. I walked into a shop at random and saw that it was a shop selling mirrors. Chi pattern, animal pattern, Liancawen, and mountain character pattern are dazzling.

The three mountains, the four mountains, the five mountains, and the six mountains have their own styles. The four mountains are the most common, while the three and six mountains are extremely rare. However, it can only be regarded as an antique gold stone, which is expensive.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"

Zhou Xu saw a glass mirror at a glance, which made him very curious to think that sticking tin foil on the glass surface, and then pouring mercury on it, let the chemical reaction act as a mirror. It should be 1508, the Italian glass craftsman Dale Carlo The brothers have successfully developed a practical glass mirror, isn't that the Zhengde period of the original time and space?
This history is quite treacherous. Normally, this meeting should be in line with the descendants of the Jin Kingdom, but now there is Dagan in the south, Kun Kingdom in the north, and Dali Grassland around. It is a hodgepodge. Yelling, too busy to look at it and greeted him with an ouch.

"Oh, Lord Tiger is here. I was too busy checking accounts and couldn't greet you. Damn the little ones, damn the little ones~"

The shopkeeper, in his 40s, nodded and bowed to a young man like Zhou Xu, and greeted him with a smile. It must not be because he looked rich. Zhou Xu scratched the tip of his nose, did he have such a great reputation?
Return Tiger?
Heh, he didn't know that Yuanshen was in this street, small merchants and vendors were not counted, Yuanshen didn't go there to show off his prestige, but looked for those big merchants. Sticky teeth to eat, clothes to wear, handles to play with, and tricks to block the eyes. The full set of tricks tortured these shopkeepers enough.

Just because he came to play when he was young and was kicked out, and he has remembered these guys with high eyesight and low abilities since then.

If he caused trouble, others would not dare to do anything to him, and it wasn't a big deal, just finding fault, and sent it to the Yamen of Jingzhao Yin. They have learned to be good, either pray that the devil will not come to his shop, or when he does come, he can only serve him carefully.

"Master Tiger, you have a good eye. These are dioramas from overseas. There are only dozens of them in the whole capital, and they are all ordered to go. This is left by my master to guard the shop. This... this,, , the price"

The meaning of the shopkeeper is very clear, the treasure of the town store is not for sale.

Zhou Xu held it in his hand and looked left and right. He was still so handsome. He frowned when he heard what the shopkeeper said. How can such a broken mirror be the treasure of the store?

"It's just such a thing that returns to the store, isn't it made of Liuli, are you bullying me for being ignorant?"

He shook his hands and threw it over, the shopkeeper squeezed his heart, quickly caught it and hugged it in his arms, sweat dripped down, this side cost a thousand taels of silver, if this idiot fell, he would be so heartbroken to death he.

"My lord, I don't dare to bully you. This is indeed for the town store. You are right. Our master has also figured it out. It is indeed made of colored glaze, but what kind of secret method did the foreigner say? It’s expensive to make in their home country~”

The shopkeeper carefully put the mirror back in place, Zhou Xu laughed at the secret method, their secret method is monopoly, and the craftsman who makes the mirror is locked up on an isolated island, isn't it expensive?

"Then tell me the truth, how much did you sell this mirror to those wealthy families?"

The shopkeeper didn't understand why the little ancestor asked this. His Zhou family only had a small medicine shop, so he might be able to change his career to sell mirrors. Said a word.

"Master, just listen to it. Don't say it out to harm the little one. This mirror is only a thousand taels of silver from the sea, and the small one is only a hundred taels. The ones we sell in our store are sold after two taels."

The shopkeeper went up and down, Zhou Xu's eyes widened.

Fuck!
This change of hands from one thousand to three thousand?

What kind of violence, my heart is moving, Zhou Xu's heart is moving fiercely, he also went to his own medicine shop just now, and asked his shopkeeper, most of the medicinal materials sold in Zhou's shop are ordinary medicinal materials grown in his own farm, black Lead, Cuscuta eclipta, Rehmannia glutinosa, Polygonum multiflorum, etc.

It's all because the Zhou family couldn't buy good land, and the Zhuangzi they bought had very little arable land against the mountains, so they could only grow medicinal materials to make ends meet.

OK?The good land is the turn of the Zhou family. All the good farmlands and villages around the capital are bought by high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The emperor rewarded a few good farms, which can be rewarded to Jinling.

Hearing the shopkeeper say that the glass mirror is so expensive, Zhou Xu fell in love.

Although I don't understand this thing, I know the general principle. Is it possible to make a fortune by finding someone to fiddle with it? I can't wait to come out of the shop while thinking about it. It is absolutely impossible.

Zhou Xu probably understands the situation at home. He can't be said to be poor, but he doesn't have much to do with being rich. It's really a small family with Jia Jia. The monks in the family temple add up to six to seven hundred people.

"Da Lang, Da Lang, walk slowly~"

He only thought about it in his head, and he even forgot about the servant girl. Lichun and Xiangling hurriedly followed up. They really visited a lot of shops with Zhou Xu today, but they were miserable with the little servant. Today this My father didn't rush to buy, and he didn't go to the opera to drink. After walking for half a day, his legs broke.

When a few people passed by a doorway, a stick suddenly fell and hit Zhou Xu on the head. He picked it up and saw that it was slightly thicker than chopsticks, and the roots were tens of centimeters long. What's the matter? When I looked up, a daughter was holding the window with her hand. Seeing Zhou Xu coming and going, she stuck out her tongue and closed the window.

"Why, Ximen Zhou Xu is actually me?"

This familiar plot made Zhou Xu dumbfounded, and then looked at the three large characters on the plaque on the facade.

"Baixiangzhai?"

"Is Dalang Li okay?"

Li Chun hurriedly came up to Zhou Xu to see if there was any injury, but he avoided it. Can a woman's waist and a man's head be touched casually? Li Chun asked, "What is this Baixiangzhai? How come you have no impression at all?"

It stands to reason that he is a frequent visitor to this street, so he shouldn't forget this place. Lichun sneered and explained:
"Dalang, it's amazing if you can remember. This Baixiangzhai is a place specially for the daughter's family. It contains fragrant tea and vegetarian wine, silk and satin, pollen and rouge. As long as it is for girls and women, it is sold. Our family The girl has also been here a few times, but it's too expensive so she doesn't come often."

Zhou Xu suddenly realized that he was originally a straight man, and this is a shop specially opened for women. It is a ghost to remember him when he was in conflict with him, but after hearing what Li Chun said, why is there such a strong sense of sight? , suddenly slapped his head.

"Clubhouse!"
