Chapter 236: Mirror
In Zhuluhou Mansion, there is only one rule in terms of eating, that is, it cannot be wasted. It doesn't matter if you eat more, like Li Chongyi, one person can eat more than five people, Li Mu has never said a word. But there is only one thing that is unforgivable, and that is waste.
I can eat half a bowl of rice, but I have a bowl of rice, I can't eat it, and I plan to throw it away, which is not allowed.
This rule is the first rule that Li Mu abides by in his life. When I was in the orphanage, the old superintendent set the rules. Maybe it's a habit that I have developed since childhood, or maybe it's a thought of the old dean, Li Mu has almost never wasted food in his twenty-eight years of life in his previous life.
He's the kind of guy who drinks yogurt and will definitely lick the lid.
After coming to this world, Li Mu has always been very lenient towards 'his own people', but this rule is still retained. When it came to implementation, there was no resistance. Up and down the Zhuluhou Mansion, only Dugu Jiu was born as a young master, and the rest of the people were from very humble backgrounds, and they were used to living a hungry life, so they didn't have to make rules and wouldn't waste it easily.
Dugu Jiu was indeed a picky eater before, but after arriving at the Zhulu Hou Mansion, under the infection of the surrounding environment, he also changed the problem of picky eating. He was completely forced, because he often ate with Li Chongyi, and if he was a little slower, he would not have to eat, where could he take care of picky eaters.
After eating, Li Mu called Wei Yingluo and Pearl to the back house and announced his decision.
"Over at the craftsman's workshop, I have already asked Xiao Jiu to inform you, and everything has been arranged. Tomorrow you will move in, and during the day, the craftsmen basically have their work and do not have time to go to class. For the time being, you just need to wait for the craftsmen to finish their work after dinner and teach them for an hour. It starts with pinyin, and then the common words. After the common words, a little arithmetic is simply taught. As for the daytime, you come to Jingdongji in the morning to teach these children to read and write, and in the afternoon you can move freely and do anything. ”
After Li Mu finished speaking, he took out the money bag that had been prepared from his sleeve and put it on the table: "Here are twenty taels of silver, which is considered to be the monthly money advanced to you and Pearl for the next month." Ten taels of them are the monthly money of the two of you for the next month, and ten taels are considered your teaching allowance, which should be enough to spend. ”
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Pearl grabbed the purse and said happily. She has long wanted to leave the Zhulu Hou Mansion, and if she leaves here, she doesn't have to look at Li Zhien's eyes, and she doesn't have to be squeezed by her.
Wei Yingluo thought more, she looked at Li Mu, pursed her lips, and said, "Master Hou, are you sending us away?" Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, Wei Yingluo said again: "If it's because of the housekeeper, we can apologize to her, can you not send us away?" ”
"What apologies?" Li Mu said strangely: "What does this have to do with Zhi'en?" Xiaoying, if I remember correctly, you said that you wanted to be a female professor in the main hall that day, and now I have fulfilled your wish to let you become a female professor and teach craftsmen and children to read and write. Could it be that you don't want to be a female professor and like to be a maid? ”
"I ......" Wei Yingluo's mood was a little complicated, and Li Mu's words actually hit her mind. After seeing the magic of pinyin, Wei Yingluo had a lot of curiosity about Li Mu, and she really wanted to stay by Li Mu's side to see what other magical skills he had.
Pearl grew up with Wei Yingluo, and by looking at her expression, you can know what she thinks. Originally, Miss was also considered to be backwards, Sichun is over, and it is normal to have a son she likes. If there were no such changes, the pearl would have supported Wei Yingluo and Li Mu together.
But now that her identity is different, Wei Yingluo has become a maid, and Li Mu is now a hot Hou Ye between the government and the opposition. He had wives and concubines. Miss's current identity, if she follows him, I'm afraid she won't even get a title. So Pearl doesn't want Wei Yingluo to commit to Li Mu now, and it's a good thing to be able to draw a line as soon as possible.
Worried that Wei Yingluo had said the wrong thing, Pearl hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "Master Hou, my little ...... Xiaoying, she is so happy, being a female professor has always been her long-cherished wish, Hou Ye is really a kind person, treating us subordinates better than relatives, Xiaoying, Xiaoying, don't thank Hou Ye, what are you doing in a daze? ”
Pearl said as she winked at Wei Yingluo and pushed her elbow against her waist.
Wei Yingluo was urged by her like this, and she didn't know where she got the courage, closed her eyes tightly, and said loudly: "Master Hou, I, can I stay in the mansion without going to the craftsman's workshop?" ”
As soon as Pearl heard this, she sighed helplessly, and when it was over, the young lady began to get sick again. At a critical time, what are you thinking in your head?
Li Mu frowned and looked at her and said, "Do you really want to be a maid?" ”
Wei Yingluo shook her head vigorously, and when she said the first sentence, she was much happier and less nervous, and said: "Master Hou, I like the atmosphere in the house, everyone lives together, just like family, I am reluctant to leave here." Besides, the craftsman's workshop and Jingdongji, one is in the west and the other is in the east, if I live in the craftsman's workshop, it is still so far to go to Jingdongji, it is very likely to delay things. ”
"Let's chase the Luhou Mansion is exactly in between, and the distance to which side is about the same. I can go and finish my classes with the children in the morning and teach the craftsmen in the evening. ”
Li Mu's brows furrowed even tighter, he didn't expect Wei Yingluo to be reluctant to leave the Zhulu Hou Mansion. Li Mu secretly looked at Wei Yingluo's reddened little face, and muttered to himself in his heart, this little girl, is she really in love with Ben Hou? No, what a chaste person I, Li Mu, I can't let her get her wish!
"But if that's the case, I'm afraid I won't have time to come back before the door closes. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to live in a craftsman's workshop and go home after your class without having to leave the workshop? ”
"This ......" Wei Yingluo wanted to say, Master Hou, you can give me a waist card, but if you say so, it seems to be too obvious. She is a big girl in the end, and she can't say anything.
Pearl hurriedly said: "Yes, Xiaoying, don't embarrass Master Hou." ”
"But ......"
"That's it!" Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I like the atmosphere in the house, you can come back a few more times if you have nothing to do." When you come back from class in Jingdongji, you can go to the house for dinner at noon. It's not that we can't see each other, but you keep your room in the house for you. Okay, don't want your mother-in-law and mother-in-law, go ahead, pack your belongings, if you lack anything, you will go to the West Market to buy it, and let the big one arrange a carriage for you. ”
Seeing that Li Mu had already decided, Wei Yingluo couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, which made people feel pitiful. Pearl was worried that Wei Yingluo would say something unhearted if she left her behind, so she hurriedly pulled her to give Li Mu a salute and dragged her out.
Li Mu looked at Wei Yingluo at the door and turned back three times in one step, and he felt a little unbearable. But he can't help it, as an excellent man, he is destined to be loved by thousands of girls, do they all have to be included in the house? Wouldn't that be a stallion?
I, Li Mu, how can I become that kind of person!
Li Mu casually picked up Bai Qiaoqiao's makeup bronze mirror, looked at his blurred face in the mirror, and couldn't help but scold.
"You cruel teenage killer, you're really a little rascal with a heart to set fire......"
Mirror?
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, put down the bronze mirror, closed his eyes to summon the system, and learned the formula of the mirror.
"Be a mirror! Wait for my wife to come back and surprise her!! ”
……
The mirror is an important prop in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty". It is one of the special items in the miscellaneous, and the blueprint has a very low explosion rate. For in-game merchants, it can be called something that brings in income steadily.
Because it is one of the must-have items of the 'marriage system' in the game.
If the in-game character wants to get married, he needs to do a pre-task. One of them is that you need to take a mirror to the matchmaker.
Give a bronze mirror first, and the matchmaker said that this mirror is not good, and she can't see the handsome appearance of the fresh lady, so let the player change the mirror. And then the second time, I have to take the mirror made by the deputy job system.
The mirror in reality is made of silver nitrate plated on glass.
And in the game, to make a mirror, you need a piece of glass, a silver tael, and a silver-plated catalyst. Once you have learned the recipe, the silver-plated catalyst can be purchased in the system shop.
Li Mu had already learned to make glass before, and after purchasing a silver-plated catalyst, he easily made the mirror. When the production was finished, Li Mu was taken aback. In the game, one tael of silver can only make a bronze mirror. Now the results of his experiment, one tael of silver can only make a mirror, but a mirror can be one meter square.
A one-square-meter mirror, cut into the kind of vanity mirror used by Bai Qiaoqiao, can be cut into dozens of pieces.
Calculate the cost, a mirror is about dozens of dollars.
Is it so cheap?
Li Mu frowned and thought about it, feeling that he couldn't pull the price of glass products so low. You must know that the perfume bottle he made, such a small one, is counted as one or two. Such a big mirror, the key is so clear, dozens of texts, absolutely not.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mu was still kind and set a price of five taels.
Mirrors are not necessities. Ordinary people are busy all day long, how can they have kung fu to care about what they look like. At the very least, you have to be a lady or lady from a wealthy family to have the need to use a mirror. Therefore, the sales of this thing will not be very high. According to the comparison with the effect of the copper mirror, the price of selling a copper mirror is about five times, and no matter how expensive it is, it is estimated that many people will be reluctant.
In fact, whether the customer is willing or not is not the main reason for Li Mu's pricing, the main reason is that his conscience is not going. The cost of this thing is too low, and I am too embarrassed to ask for a high price. Although the cost of perfume is also low, there are so many dried flowers in it, and the profit margin is a hundred times faster than one square meter for one or two pieces of silver, which is really embarrassing.
What should I do if I am thin-skinned?
Li Mu looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, weakness, this is weakness. Too kind, thin-skinned, how to walk in this cruel world?
"Alas!"
Li Mu sighed, bought a glass knife from the system store, and began to cut glass.
For the sake of convenience, he cut all squares. I made a few big ones first, and kept them for tomorrow to enter the palace for gifts. Then cut out more than a dozen small ones, and then give them to Xiaozhu. There is still half of the left, just left for his wife, make do with it first, and then get a full-length mirror when I am free in a few days, put it next to the bed, light a candle at night, and look at the person in the mirror when I am happy......
Hiss –
I can't think about it anymore, it's easy to think about it 404 again.
Li Mu gathered his mind and put the cut glass mirror aside. I found a good jujube wood and made a few frames to embed the mirror in it. After all the work was done, he let out a sigh of relief, lay down on the rocking chair, and threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth.
"Master, we're back!"
Li Zhien's voice came from outside, she didn't dare to break into Li Mu's studio directly, she always said hello outside first.
"Come on in, I'll show you something good."
"What a good thing...... Li Zhien pushed the door in, and there was a mirror in front of him, and he exclaimed in fright. She had never seen herself so truly, and she was inexplicably a little frightened, standing at the door and not daring to move.
Li Mu got up and took her hand, and said with a smile: "Scared by yourself? Isn't this just a mirror? ”
"How is it so clear...... Do I look like this? ”
Grabbing Li Mu's hand, Li Zhien calmed down, she came to the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly tilted her head to the left, and she in the mirror was also crooked, Li Zhien laughed and said, "Master, it's really me, I'm really good-looking." ”
"There's no such thing as a shame - but my grace is pretty good." Li Mu smiled, hugged her over and kissed her, and said, "Go and call Xiaozhu and them over, and each person will send one." The biggest one is for Madame, and I'll take it back later. If you are a little younger, I will send it to the palace tomorrow for the queen and Concubine Yang. Mother will also send a ...... there."
Li Zhien pouted and said, "And your Peony Lady, don't forget." ”
"Oh, what about such a big vinegar smell?"
"Why!" Li Zhien broke free from Li Mu's arms, stuck out his tongue and ran to inform. Li Mu shook his head, put away the tools, and shouted, Li Chongyi came in from outside, picked up the biggest mirror, and went back to the back house with Li Mu.
Dugu Jiu came with Li Chongyi, and when he saw the mirror in the studio, he hesitated for a moment, and secretly picked up a small one. Taking advantage of the fact that Xiaozhu and the others did not come, he took off his mask, looked at the delicate face like a woman in the mirror, and muttered: "It turns out that I look like this, alas, if only there was a woman who looks like me." ”
Dugu Jiu sighed, put the mask on again, and put the small mirror into his arms.
……
Chang'an West.
A camel caravan is heading in the direction of Chang'an.
"See! The city wall of Chang'an, we have arrived! ”
The people at the front of the line shouted excitedly.
The voice alarmed a heroic female knight in the center of the procession, she stepped forward, looked around, and said in a loud voice: "Speed up a little faster, the city gate will be closed soon, let's enter the city before the city gate closes!" ”
"Good!"
