Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 542
A spectator who was acquainted with each other on weekdays and considered to have some face in the capital couldn't help but asked, "Master Fang, what a good thing is this, everyone happens to be idle today, so hurry up and let us have a look."

The shopkeeper Fang was an old man from the prime minister's mansion, and the two sons in the family were Fang Fu and Fang Gui, and the father and son were very trustworthy.Before Ding Wei's family went out of Beijing, Haiyun Pavilion was a little embarrassed, so Fang Xin specially transferred the old anecdote to come over to sit in charge.

Hearing this now, the old shopkeeper bowed in circles, and said with a smile, "Thanks to all the nobles for taking care of the business this year, and now I have something good, you can't hide it from anyone. But to be honest , I have never seen this mysterious item today, I just heard from the steward who came over from the other side of the sea that once this thing is revealed, it may cause the surprise and crowding of the nobles. For the sake of safety, please stay away a few steps .”

"What kind of good thing is this, but it can only be viewed from a distance?"

Everyone was puzzled, but no one suspected that Haiyun Pavilion was playing tricks, because past facts have proved that as long as it is sent from the other side of the sea, everything will not disappoint.

Sure enough, after everyone took a few steps back, shopkeeper Fang and a young man slowly peeled off the cloth wrapped around the mysterious goods.When the old shopkeeper saw the goods for the first time, he was stunned, but the boy exclaimed, "Ah, this is..."

Everyone was so teased that Chen stretched his neck and complained, "Shopkeeper Fang, what a good thing, let everyone see it!"

"That's right, we're dying of anxiety!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, everyone, the little old man was also shocked." Shopkeeper Fang's eyes were a little excited, and his subordinates had to use force to tear off the cloth slowly.

It turned out that under the curtain was a screen. The huanghuali wood was carved with exquisite patterns and polished very carefully. The tung oil was also evenly brushed, giving it a faint light.

But none of these are more eye-catching than the white thing inlaid in the middle. It is square, three feet wide and five feet high. The upper half reflects the bright sky, and the lower half is... figures with stretched necks.Some mouths are wide open, some expressions are dull, and some eyes are as staring as old cows...

In the room, there was silence for a quarter of an hour, and then there was an explosion.

"Oh, is this a mirror?"

"It's so clear how it's done!"

"Oh my God, the woman at home must be crazy about buying it!"

Everyone subconsciously squeezed forward as they talked, wanting to take a closer look at their own appearance. Of course, it would be great if they could touch such a novel mirror.

Shopkeeper Fang was so frightened that he quickly called the boys to stop in front of the mirror. He found a bench by himself, stood on it, and shouted loudly, "Gentlemen, please be merciful! This full-length mirror, the entire Donghao, is not , The whole world is just like this! It’s a priceless treasure, everyone, don’t squeeze it, if a mirror is crushed, the little old man won’t be able to explain to the master!”

"Master Fang, tell me quickly, what is this mirror made of? Is it silver? How can it be so bright and clear?"

"That's right, shopkeeper Fang made a price. My girl is going to get married, so I'll buy it back as a dowry!"

"No, sell it to me, I'll buy as much money as you want!"

Although everyone responded with their mouths, their feet were still pushing forward. The old shopkeeper saw that a few boys had been squeezed to the front of the mirror, and he was so anxious that his heart was going to jump in his throat.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me. If you squeeze any further, the mirror will be broken, and no one will be able to see it or buy it. Why don't you make way first, and then line up to have a closer look, how about it?"

This time, he didn't show any politeness to the crowd. He yelled at the boys, and finally pushed the crowd five or six steps away from the mirror, and then let them go forward one by one.

Some people were arranging their robes and hats in front of the mirror, some were tapping the surface of the mirror lightly, and some were sniffing the mirror.

But there is no doubt that this kind of mirror that reflects the details of the person will be popular all over the world.

The old shopkeeper was surrounded by water, of course they all wanted to buy a full-length mirror.

"Shopkeeper Fang, it will be my ancestor's birthday in a few days. I must buy this mirror as a birthday present."

"No, you must sell it to me. My daughter married far away in Binzhou, and the only thing short of such a big dowry."

"I'll pay you 5000 taels. Shopkeeper Fang, you must sell me the mirror!"

"I'll pay 1 taels!"

Passers-by outside Haiyun Pavilion didn't know what good things came from the shop, and they all stopped to ask. A young guy had already loudly introduced the magic of the mirror to passers-by over and over again.

As a result, the name of the magical full-length mirror quickly spread throughout the entire capital, and of course more people came to see it for a novelty.

Besides, of the two small carriages that left the convoy, one went to the prime minister's mansion, and the other to Dong's house.

In the prime minister's mansion, Chu Qixi, who had already begun to learn how to run the family, was facing the account book with a sad face, turning her head from time to time to look at her mother-in-law who was playing around with eight catties in her arms, and asked aggrievedly, "Mother, this account book gives me a headache. , why not..."

"Why not?" Mrs. Fang stared helplessly at her daughter-in-law, "This family will always be in the hands of your husband and wife, how can I still take care of you for the rest of your life. Learn quickly, laziness is absolutely impossible."

"Mother," Chu Qixi threw away the account book, and ran to act like a baby with her mother-in-law, "Mother will live a long life, why can't she take care of our family for the rest of her life. Besides, in more than ten years, Bajin will marry a daughter-in-law , mother and I can rest together and play around."

"You, you have a good plan!" Mrs. Fang was so angry at this daughter-in-law who looked like her own daughter-in-law that she couldn't laugh or cry. The New Year gift from the island is here!"

"Oh, Sister Ding sent delicious food!"

Chu Qixi jumped up from the soft bed in surprise, and ran out with her skirt in her hands. Bajin, who was so anxious that she didn't know what happened, kept shouting, "Mother, mother!"

Mrs. Fang was helpless, hugged her grandson, and complained, "Your mother, seeing delicious food is closer than my son."

Seeing that the master was staggering, the eldest servant girl quickly picked up the young master, and said with a smile, "Madam, the outer courtyard has sent a message to the young master, and I heard that the master will come back together soon."

"It's just a Qixi, why do you two like to join in the fun so much?"

Although she said so, Mrs. Fang also quickened her pace.

Previously, she thought Taoyuan Island was just a deserted island, and she was always worried that Ding Wei's family would suffer there, but her son and daughter-in-law said that she wanted to live there for a while.After all, there is only one place where you can wear skirts all year round, even see people with bare feet, and enjoy the water.

In the hall, Prime Minister Fang and his son also rushed back.Chu Qixi looked at the tall thing in the middle of the room, and was so anxious that her eyes would slap her eyes, but her father-in-law was there, so she didn't dare to act presumptuously.After finally waiting for her mother-in-law to arrive, she stepped forward and hugged her mother-in-law coquettishly, "Mother, take a quick look at what good things Sister Ding sent. It's so tall and big, isn't it some kind of coral?"

Mrs. Fang shook her head and smiled, "I don't think so. I have sent corals before. It's not a rare thing. I'm afraid she wouldn't have brought it so far."

Fang Xin took off the cloak on his body, took a sip of hot tea to warm his stomach, and then replied, "Maybe it's a screen or something. Brother Ding has gone, and the carpentry workshop is full of manpower."

Prime Minister Fang looked at his daughter-in-law who was always secretly looking at him. It was very funny, but the little grandson held him in his arms and ordered, "It's useless to guess, just open it and have a look."

"Quick, open the cloth quickly!" Chu Qixi got the "Shangfang Sword", and hurriedly called the servant girl to do it.

When the cloth fell to the ground slowly, the whole face of her clothes just happened to take a clear picture of her standing in front of her. Needless to say, she immediately jumped into Fang Xin's arms with a scream.

"Husband, there are monsters!"

Fang Xin hurriedly hugged her, looked at the mirror, thought for a moment, and laughed, "Where is there any monster, this is a mirror! But I don't know what method the girl used to be so clear?"

Mrs. Fang carefully looked at it a few times, and the light in her eyes became more and more intense, "Oh, isn't it, this mirror is amazing, how can it be so clear?"

Ba Jin was at the curious age, and now he stretched out his chubby hand to grab Grandpa's beard, kicked his calves and shouted, "Go, go!"

"Oh, dear grandson, let go, let go!"

Prime Minister Fang's old face was wrinkled, and he was reluctant to scold his grandson, so he hugged his grandson and hurried to the mirror.

Seeing that there was another self in the mirror, Bajin giggled joyfully, stretched out his hand and patted the mirror, frightened Mrs. Fang quickly took him over.

Although I don't know what method Ding Wei used to make such a clear mirror, but it allowed her to send it back thousands of miles, no matter how much it is worth, even this friendship is extremely precious.

Chu Qixi also forgot the panic just now, leaned close to the mirror, turned left, turned right, and soon had a bitter face, "Mother, am I so fat? Woohoo, this mirror is deceiving, I'm obviously very thin."

The three members of Fang's family, including the little Ba Jin, couldn't help laughing.

"Who told you to eat so much on weekdays, and now you know you're fat?"

Mrs. Fang stared at her daughter-in-law reproachfully, and finally asked, "What about the gift list, let me have a look."

Heart of beauty in everyone.

A few big maids were also feeling the novelty, they were secretly standing in the distance looking in the mirror, their little faces were flushed, and they didn't even hear the master's order.

Mrs. Fang had no choice but to laugh, and asked another question, and the maid hurriedly handed over the gift list, and at the end she didn't forget to take a close look at herself in the mirror.

"Okay, Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's all have a good time. Move the mirror to the yard, so that everyone can take a closer look at their own appearance, but be careful not to break the mirror!"

"Ah, Mrs. Xie!"

All the maids, together with the housekeeper and servants outside the door, all smiled and quickly responded.

Mrs. Fang opened the gift list, and only then did she realize that there were two makeup boxes inlaid with mirrors. Needless to say, Chu Qixi was overjoyed again.
