"Old...Old Lu, I will take this as a gift to the emperor???" Xiao Han's eyes widened, pointing to the coffin-like wooden box and asked Butler Lu uncertainly!
"yes!"
Seeing the disbelief on Xiao Han's face, Butler Lu thought he felt distressed! After agreeing, he hurried over and said in his ear: "Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, we still have this thing! Wait until Xiao Da and the others are skilled in the craftsmanship."
Now, it won’t be difficult for us to have as much as we want! Even if you fill the house with them, no one will care about you!"
The more Butler Lu talked about it, the more excited he became! Look at him like that, if it weren't for the pull of gravity, he would be able to fly into the sky at this moment!
However, you can’t blame him!
Ever since he learned that Xiao Han was going to present a gift to the emperor, he hadn't slept for several days! It took him a long time to pick out something like this among the piles of gifts. Let's not talk about anything else. For now, it is absolutely the only one in the world.
!
He reached out and touched the "coffin" in front of him. Ahem, it was a wooden box!
Butler Lu's shining eyes seemed to have seen Xiao Han bowing down to the ministers in the Jinluan Palace!
With this gift, our Lord, all the thousand-year-old corals and thousand-year-old turtles will be on the sidelines! What is unique and what is the only one in the world? This is it!
While Butler Lu was still thinking about it, he didn't realize that Xiao Han's face had become wrinkled like a bitter melon.
What, what, what? What is this?
Isn't this just a mirror?
The surface is still numb and not smooth at all! Giving this thing as a gift to the monarch of a country? What a fool?!
"Is this too hasty? Why don't you change it now? Do you think the jade pendant around my waist looks good?"
Xiao Han gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, but still felt that it was a bit unreliable to give this thing. He wanted to ask Butler Lu to change it, but unexpectedly he got a pair of nervous eyes.
Brother, uncle! Is that the jade pendant on your waist? To God, it’s only worth a few dozen guan! In the emperor’s treasury, there aren’t even a few jade pendants worse than this one! It’s not like giving this thing as a gift.
Nonsense!
Resisting the idea of stretching out his hand to see if Xiao Han's head had a fever, Butler Lu twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, then pushed Xiao Han towards the palace gate: "Master Hou, don't be joking! It seems that it is almost the same time now.
Now, hurry up and enter the palace!"
"But...this..."
"It's nothing! Don't worry, this gift is definitely the most precious gift tonight. Even if you have money, you can't buy it! Hey, you guys! Stop hanging around and close the box quickly! It will be delivered to the palace gate in a moment.
Let the guards carry it in and make it clear to me that you don’t fall!"
In this way, Xiao Han was almost pushed into the palace gate. When he reached the square in front of the main hall, his head was still a little confused.
In fact, in the hands of noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty, mirrors were not a rare thing.
Since Han Yuexuan in Chang'an East City has made jewelry boxes with mirrors its flagship product, in Chang'an City, it would be a rare thing if any noble lady did not go to Ziyi to buy a mirror!
But Xiao Han didn't know that most of what they bought were mirrors embedded in exquisite jewelry boxes.
The largest one is no more than the size of a palm, but the piece given to Li Yuan now is two feet wide and as tall as a person. It is a complete dressing mirror!
Under the current conditions, let alone such a large mirror, even such a large piece of transparent glass!
Xiao Da and a few close craftsmen experimented for a long time before making it. Countless efforts were spent on it! The waste products produced even piled up a hill!
Fortunately, the raw material for making glass is only sand. If it had been replaced by anything else, Butler Lu would have been extremely distressed!
"Hey, forget it, that's it! At worst, we won't sell big mirrors anymore. We'll wait until Xiao Lizi comes on stage before selling them!"
A gust of cold wind blew, Xiao Han shivered all over, and his mind became much clearer instantly.
He had thought it through. After all, the first-hand source of goods was in his own hands! As long as he didn't sell it all over the street, how could Li Yuan know that he was fooling him? If he didn't know that he was fooling him, how could he be afraid?
What sort of settlement?!
Besides, except for the fact that the mirror itself is cheap.
The shelves made of precious sandalwood and inlaid with large and small gems are all money! Doesn’t it mean that in future generations, selling things will be selling packaging? Let’s try it now!
Thinking of this, Xiao Han immediately became energetic and took small steps towards Tai Chi Palace! Behind him, four guards carefully carried the wooden box that looked like a coffin...
Taiji Hall, also known as Daxing Hall!
It is located on the central axis of Chang'an City and is the main hall of the entire Chang'an Imperial Palace.
Every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, as well as various festivals and ceremonies, are all held here! Xiao Han has been here to participate in several large court gatherings, so he is familiar with Tai Chi Hall. But every time he comes, he has to climb
A long stretch of stone steps made him very uncomfortable.
Looking at the steps paved with bluestone in front of him, Xiao Han really couldn't understand!
Isn't the essence of architecture just to make people more comfortable and convenient? So what's the use of having such high steps? The designer's brain was kicked by a donkey?
It is difficult for a young person to climb up such a high step. For those old people, isn't it a natural device to persuade officials to quit? After all, they can't even climb up, and they are still just being officials!
However, complaining is a matter of complaining. You should climb the stairs, but you still have to climb them!
Xiao Han arrived relatively late today and spent a long time at the door with Butler Lu.
So at this time, he was the only one left on the steps trying to move forward, with no one around to encourage him.
As for the four guards behind them carrying the box, they were not tired, but at this time, their entire attention was focused on the box, for fear of breaking the only treasure in the world.
After climbing to the end, Xiao Han, who was cold and tired, rushed into the Tai Chi Hall! He didn't have time to say hello to his acquaintances, so he sat down on a soft cushion and gasped for air.
It seemed like he had done nothing else but run errands these days.
"Haha! Brother Xiao is here! Don't sit at the door, come here, come and sit with the brothers in front!"
Just when Xiao Han sat down and took a breath, a rough voice rang in his ears!
Xiao Han didn't even need to raise his head, just by hearing the voice, he knew it was Liu Hongji!
"Brother Liu, let me take a breath first, I'm almost exhausted from climbing up!"
Xiao Han struggled to raise his arm and shook it towards Liu Hongji. He didn't want to go there now, he just wanted to sit here quietly.
"Hey, are you saying that you are so weak at such a young age?"
Liu Hongji was quite dissatisfied with Xiao Han's sick appearance. A Wuhou who couldn't draw a bow or dance with a spear was considered useless!
Now that I am so breathless after climbing several stairs, wouldn't I be laughed at by those same useless civil servants!
"Hurry up and wake me up... Huh? What's coming behind you? You're scaring me!"
