925 Mirrors
Li Linfu's career is a little bleak, his reputation is bad, he is not treated by Li Longji, and the two camps of the imperial court do not regard him as his own, but Li Linfu also has an advantage, that is, the Tang clan, this identity can facilitate him to collect news in the palace.
According to the news received by Li Linfu, the life of the crown prince Li Ying is getting more and more difficult, and her biological mother Concubine Li can't see the emperor at all, let alone be favored, the harem is all in charge of Concubine Wu Hui, it is said that in order to please Concubine Wu Hui, the imperial dining room also makes it difficult for Concubine Li in terms of diet, Concubine Li dares to be angry and dare not speak, so she can only accept it; And the crown prince Li Ying was reprimanded by Li Longji many times for no reason, and he was regarded as the side, and King Shou came first.
The information Li Linfu gathered was that many clans were optimistic about the future of King Shou.
In this way, Li Linfu paid more attention to Concubine Wu Hui's birthday banquet, and gave a death order at home, asking all family members to go out to find it, and be sure to give a decent gift at Concubine Wu Hui's birthday banquet and please Concubine Wu Hui.
Even if it was a battle to turn over, Li Linfu also let it go, regardless of the cost, to find a suitable birthday gift.
With only three days left before Concubine Wu Hui's birthday banquet, Li Linfu finally found a suitable gift: a set of exquisite jewelry.
Li Linfu carefully placed this set of jewelry on the table in the lobby, and said a little proudly: "Children, let you have long eyes and see how about this set of jewelry?" ”
The ninth daughter Li Yuzi looked at it, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say in admiration: "Wipe the forehead, hairpin, step shake, ring, necklace, bracelet, eight pieces, each of which is decorated with different materials, pearls, agate, ruby, sapphire, opal, tiger's eye, turquoise, turquoise, etc., each piece is meticulously crafted and extremely luxurious, no matter which woman wears it, it shines. ”
"It's the first time I've seen such beautiful jewelry, and Aya has a way." The twelfth daughter, Li Yuying, echoed.
Li Quan, who ranked seventh, also nodded and said: "The child originally approved a horse that was woven into colorful brocade by fifteen top silk craftsmen in Suzhou for three years, but in comparison, this set of jewelry is more eye-catching." ”
"Just shaking that superb ruby is worth no less than a thousand yuan, this generous gift, Concubine Wu Hui will definitely like it."
"With this generous gift, Concubine Wu Hui will definitely release her suspicions against Li Fubing."
A group of children expressed their admiration and satisfaction with this set of jewelry.
When everyone said almost, Li Yu, who rarely spoke on the side, suddenly spoke: "Although the jewelry is good, it is not sure that it is better than the treasures in the palace, listening to the shopkeeper of Duofu Lou, many guests have ordered very valuable jewelry in Duobao Building, and it is not difficult to get a good reputation for this set of jewelry, and it is not difficult to let the well-informed Concubine Wu Hui look at it differently, I am afraid it is not enough." ”
Concubine Wu Hui grew up in the palace since she was a child, she was favored by Wu Zetian when she was a child, and she was favored by Li Longji when she grew up.
Li Linfu's heart moved, and he asked quietly: "Yu'er, you must have a better idea, don't you?" ”
Daring to say such things in public shows that Li Yu has a better choice, and Li Linfu asked on the spot.
It's never a bad thing to have one more choice.
Li Yu bowed to Li Linfu, and said a little proudly: "Back to Aya, the child was ordered to choose a suitable birthday gift, and he didn't dare to be lazy, he kept looking for treasures, and he was lucky enough to receive a treasure and dedicated it to Aya."
After speaking, Li Yu went out, and soon, I saw him come in with a dark red box, and carefully put it on the desk, Li Linfu looked at the box, and immediately paid attention to it: the box was made of high-quality mahogany, carved with complex and exquisite patterns, and the four corners were inlaid with gold, I don't know what the box contained, this box alone is worth a lot of money.
At this time, Li Yu first spread a piece of red silk satin on the desk, and then gently opened the lid of the box, took out a mirror from it, slowly put it on the silk, and made a gesture of invitation to Li Linfu: "Aya, please get started." ”
As soon as Li Linfu picked up this mirror, he felt lighter than expected, first turned to the back to take a look, only to see a round of full moon carved on the back of the mirror, under the full moon is a brilliant peony flower, the moon is the best white jade inlay, and those peony flowers, also made of gold, can be said to be ingenious, obviously from the hands of a famous artist, and then look at the front, only to see a slightly thin face, eyes bright middle-aged old man appeared in the mirror.
After playing for a while, Li Linfu said with some surprise: "This mirror is a little mysterious, much lighter than the common copper mirror, and it shines very clearly, it looks like this mirror is also some years old, but I can't find a trace of rust, Yu'er, what is the origin of this mirror." ”
As soon as he spoke, Li Linfu inadvertently found that there were three words in the flowers on the back, looked carefully, his expression tightened, and he said in surprise: "Yiguang mirror? This, this is the mirror used by Xizi? ”
Xizi is the beauty of the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after the defeat of the Yue King Goujian in the war against the Wu State, he adopted the literary "Wu Jiushu" of the fourth "beauties to confuse their hearts, and mess with their schemes", and the two of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan under the Laie Luo Mountain, and sent them to Wu Wangfu after training, so that they indulged in wine and absurdity in national politics, and Wu Wangfu really fell into the beauty scheme, and liked Zheng Dan and Xi Shi very much, especially pampered Xi Shi, in order to please Xi Shi Smile, and even let go of the dignity of the king, and the strength of Wu also regressed in the beauty of Fu Cha, and there was [ If there is a will, things can be done, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all; Hard-working people, the sky does not bear, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu] of the hand-me-down verses.
After Gou Jian destroyed Wu, Xi Shi went with Fan Li Pan Wuhu, and did not know what to do, leaving a famous legend that has been passed down through the ages.
Xizi is also called Xi Shi, his real name is Shi Yiguang, Yiguang is the original name of Xi Shi, Yiguang Mirror, that is, Xi Shi Mirror.
Li Yu said a little proudly: "The child has a close friend, the ancestor likes to hide all kinds of antiques and treasures, Aya attaches great importance to this birthday banquet, specially to discuss with a close friend, and it took a lot of words to say that he led him into the secret room where the treasure was hidden, not to hide from Aya, but as soon as he entered the door, the child fell in love with this thing, Xi Shi is a beauty who has been recited through the ages, and the mirror she used was given to Concubine Hui, and she will be able to win the favor of Concubine Hui." ”
"Not bad, not bad" Li Linfu said with satisfaction: "This is a meaningful treasure, Yu'er, what is the origin of this mirror?" ”
When the mirror was presented, if the emperor and Concubine Hui asked about the origin of this Yiguang mirror, they couldn't answer, and the scene would be embarrassing.
Li Yu immediately said: "After the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, Fan Li took Xi Shi to travel to the five lakes, lived a life of seclusion, according to legend, Fan Li traveled the world, inadvertently got a piece of the Tianwai Xuanshi, this Tianwai Xuanshi, can shine on people, the texture is light, find a master to polish into a mirror, after the mirror is completed, named the Jingguang Mirror, given to Xizi, this is the origin of the Jingguang mirror, the mirror surface is smooth and flat, clearer than the best copper mirror now, the back of the mirror has a moon and flowers, meaning the appearance of the flower and the moon, Aya dedicated this mirror to Concubine Hui, the most suitable. ”
