Chapter 236 Mirror
In Zhulu Hou Mansion, there is only one rule in terms of eating, that is, you cannot waste it. It doesn’t matter if you eat more. Like Li Chongyi, one person is more than five people’s appetite, and Li Mu never said anything. But the only thing is unforgivable, that is waste.
I could eat half a bowl of rice, but I served a bowl of rice. I couldn't eat it anymore and planned to throw it away. This is not allowed.
This rule was the first rule that Li Mu followed in his life. When he was in an orphanage, the rules set by the old dean. Perhaps it was a habit he developed since childhood, or perhaps it was a thought of the old dean. Li Mu had almost never wasted food in his twenty-eight years of his previous life.
He is the kind of person who can definitely lick the cover when drinking yogurt.
After coming to this world, Li Mu was always very lenient to his "people", but this rule was still preserved. There was no resistance when it was implemented. There was only Dugu Jiu, the eldest son of Zhulu Hou Mansion, and the others were of low origins. They were used to life without having to make food, and they would not waste easily without setting rules.
Dugu Jiu was indeed picky about food before, but after arriving at Zhulu Hou Mansion, the surrounding environment was infected, and he also corrected his picky food problem. He was completely forced because he often ate with Li Chongyi. If he was a little slower, he would have no food anymore and he would have no choice but to eat.
After dinner, Li Mu called Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu to Houzhai and announced his decision.
"I have asked Xiaojiu to inform the craftsman workshop and it has been arranged. You will move there tomorrow. During the day, the craftsmen have basically work and have no time to attend classes. For the time being, you only need to wait for the craftsmen to get off work after dinner and teach them for an hour. Start with the pinyin, and then the commonly used characters. After the commonly used characters, you can teach a little arithmetic. As for the day, you come to Jingdong Ji in the morning to teach these children to recognize characters. In the afternoon, you can move freely and do anything."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he took out the wallet that had been prepared from his sleeve and put it on the table: "This is twenty taels of silver, which is considered to be the monthly payment for you and Pearl next month. Ten taels of them are the monthly payment for you two next month, and ten taels are the allowance for you to teach, which should be enough to spend."
"Thank you, Marquis!" Zhenzhu grabbed the purse and said happily. She had long wanted to leave the Zhulu Marquis' Mansion. If she left here, she would not have to look at Li Zhien's eyes and be squeezed by her.
Wei Yingluo thought more. She looked at Li Mu, pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Marquis, are you sending us away?" Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, Wei Yingluo said, "If it is because of the butler, we can apologize to her. Can we not send us away?"
"What apologize?" Li Mu said strangely: "What does this have to do with Zhien? Xiaoying, if I remember correctly, you said that you wanted to be a female professor in the hall that day. Now I fulfill your wish and let you become a female professor, craftsmen and children to read. Could it be that you don't want to be a female professor and fall in love with being a maid?"
"I..." Wei Yingluo's mood was a little complicated. Li Mu's words actually hit her mind. After seeing the magic of pinyin, Wei Yingluo became very curious about Li Mu. She really wanted to stay with Li Mu and see what magical skills he had.
Pearl grew up with Wei Yingluo, and you can tell what she was thinking when she looked at her expression. Originally, the lady was too old and was already in love. It was normal to have a young man she liked. If there were no such changes, Pearl would be one hundred supporters of Wei Yingluo and Li Mu.
But now the status is different. Wei Yingluo has become a maid, and Li Mu is the hot marquis in the court and the country. He has a wife and a concubine. If the lady is following him, she may not even get a title. So Pearl doesn't want Wei Yingluo to commit herself to Li Mu now, so it is a good thing to draw a clear line earlier.
Worried that Wei Yingluo had said the wrong thing, Zhenzhu hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "Mr. Marquis, my little... Xiaoying is so happy. Being a female professor has always been her long-cherished wish. Marquis is really kind-hearted. Treating us servants better than relatives. Xiao, Xiaoying, why are you standing there if you don't thank Marquis, why are you doing?"
As Zhenzhu said, she winked at Wei Yingluo and pressed her waist with her elbow.
Wei Yingluo was urging her, and somehow she had the courage to come from, so she closed her eyes tightly and said loudly: "Marty, can I stay in the mansion without going to the craftsman's workshop?"
When Pearl heard this, she sighed helplessly. After finishing, the lady started to get sick again. At the critical moment, what were you thinking about in your head!
Li Mu frowned and looked at her and said, "You really want to be a maid?"
Wei Yingluo shook her head vigorously, and when she said the first sentence, she felt much more happy and was no longer nervous, saying, "Marty, I like the atmosphere in the mansion. Everyone lives together, just like family members, and I can't bear to leave here. Besides, the Craftsman House and Jingdong Museum, one is in the west and the other is in the east. If I live in the Craftsman House, it is still so far to go to Jingdong Museum, it is very likely to delay things."
"Our Zhulu Hou Mansion is just between the two, and the distance to each side is almost the same. I can go to finish class for the children in the morning and then teach the craftsmen in the evening."
Li Mu frowned a little more tightly. He didn't expect Wei Yingluo to be unwilling to leave Zhulu Marquis Mansion. Li Mu secretly looked at Wei Yingluo's red face and muttered to himself, "Does this little girl really like this Marquis?" No, I, Li Mu, are such a chaste person, and I must not let her do what I want!"
"But if this is the case, after teaching the craftsmen, I'm afraid there will be no time to come back before the door is closed. If you live in the craftsmen's house, you will go home after the class is finished. Isn't it more convenient?"
"This..." Wei Yingluo wanted to say, Marquis, you can give me a waist card, but if you say this, it seems to be a little too obvious. She is a lady from a wealthy family, and she is a little indescribable.
Pearl quickly said, "Yes, Xiaoying, don't let the Marquis make things difficult for the Marquis."
"But……"
"That's it!" Li Mu waved his hand and said, "If you like the atmosphere in the mansion, you can come back a few more times if you have nothing to do. After returning from the class at JD.com, you can go to the mansion for lunch. It's not that you can't meet again, you can keep the room in the mansion for you. Okay, don't let your mother-in-law and mother go, go and pack up your belongings, what are you missing, and go to the West Market to buy it, and ask the big guy to arrange a carriage for you."
Seeing that Li Mu had already decided, Wei Yingluo couldn't help but look disappointed, which made people feel pitiful. Pearl was worried that Wei Yingluo would say something stupid if she stayed there, so she quickly pulled her to salute Li Mu and pulled her out.
Li Mu felt a little reluctant when he watched Wei Yingluo turn around in one step at the door. But he had no choice. As an excellent man, he was destined to be loved by thousands of girls. Would they all be put into the room? Wouldn't that become a stallion?
I, Li Mu, how can I become that kind of person!
Li Mu picked up Bai Qiaoqiao's bronze dressing mirror, looked at his blurry face in the mirror, and couldn't help but curse.
"You cruel girl killer, you are really a little hooligan who sets fire..."
mirror?
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, lowered the bronze mirror, closed his eyes and summoned the system, and learned the formula of the mirror.
"Go to be a mirror! When my wife comes back, give her a surprise!!"
...
Mirror is an important prop in "The Legend of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty". It is one of the special items in the miscellaneous items, and the explosion rate of drawings is also very low. For merchants in the game, it can be regarded as a stable thing that brings income.
Because it is one of the essential items in the game's 'marriage system'.
If the characters in the game want to get married, they need to do a pre-task. There is one link that needs to bring a mirror to the matchmaker.
First, give a bronze mirror. The matchmaker said that this mirror was not good and could not see the handsome appearance of the bride, so she asked the player to change the mirror. Then the second time, she had to take the mirror made by the deputy system.
In reality, mirrors are made of silver nitrate plated on glass.
In the game, making a mirror requires a piece of glass, one or two silver plating catalyst. After learning the formula, the silver plating catalyst can be purchased in the system store.
Li Mu had learned to make glass before. After buying a silver plating catalyst, he easily made the mirror. After making it, Li Mu was shocked. In the game, one tael of silver could only make one bronze mirror. Now, the result of his experiments was that one tael of silver could only make one mirror, but one mirror that was one meter square.
A mirror of one square meter can be cut into the kind of dressing mirror used by Bai Qiaoqiao. It can be cut dozens of them.
Calculate the cost, a mirror costs about a few dozen cents.
Is it so cheap?
Li Mu frowned and thought about it, feeling that the price of glass products could not be so low. You must know that the perfume bottle he made was as small as one or two. Such a large mirror was so clear that it was definitely not possible to have a side of dozens of fonts.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mu was still kind and set a price of five taels.
Mirrors are not essential. Ordinary people are busy all day long, so there is no kung fu to do what they look like. At least they have to be a wife or lady in a wealthy family to have the need to use a mirror. Therefore, the sales volume of this thing will not be very high. Compared with the effect of a bronze mirror, the price of selling a bronze mirror is almost the same. No matter how expensive it is, many people will probably be reluctant to leave it.
In fact, whether the customer is willing or not is not the main reason for Li Mu's pricing, it is mainly because of his conscience. The cost of this thing is too low, and I'm not embarrassed to have a high price. Although the cost of perfume is also low, at least there are so many dry spends. If you make one square meter of this tael of silver, the profit margin is almost 100 times. I'm really embarrassed.
What to do if you have a thin skin?
Li Mu looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, "Weakness, this is the weakness. He is too kind and has a thin skin. How can he walk in this cruel world?
"well!"
Li Mu sighed, bought a glass knife from the system store, and started cutting the glass.
For convenience, he cut square shapes. He first made a few large ones and kept them for the palace to give gifts tomorrow. Then he cut out more than a dozen small ones and gave them to Xiaozhu and the others later. The remaining half was left, just for his wife, so he made do with it first. After a few days, he made a full-length mirror, placed it beside the bed, lit candles at night, and looked at the people in the mirror when they were happy...
hiss--
Can't think about it anymore, it's easy to think about it again404.
Li Mu gathered his mind and put the cut glass mirror aside. He found the best date wood, made several borders and embedded the mirror in it. After all, he breathed a sigh of relief, lay 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 go directly to Li Mu's studio, and she always said hello first outside.
"Come in and show you something good."
"What good thing..." Li Zhien pushed the door and saw a mirror in front of him, and exclaimed in fear. She had never seen herself so vividly. She was a little scared and stood at the door and didn't dare to move.
Li Mu stood up and pulled her hand, and smiled and said, "Isn't this just a mirror?"
"Why are you so clear... Do I look like this?"
Holding Li Mu's hand, Li Zhien calmed down. She came to the front of the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly tilted her head to the left. She also tilted in the mirror. Li Zhien laughed and said, "Master, it's really me. I am so beautiful."
"How can I be so arrogant - but my Zhien is really good-looking." Li Mu smiled, hugged her and kissed her, and said, "Go and call Xiaozhu and the others over, and each one will give one. The biggest one is for the wife, and I will take it back later. If it is a little smaller, I will send it to the palace tomorrow to the queen and Yang Fei and the others. My mother also needs to give it to her..."
Li Zhien pouted and said, "And your Madam Peony, don't forget."
"Oh, what about such a big jealous smell?"
"No!" Li Zhien broke free from Li Mu's arms, stuck out his tongue and ran to inform him. Li Mu shook his head, packed up the tools, and shouted. Li Chongyi came in from outside, picked up the largest mirror, and went back to the back house with Li Mu.
Dugu Jiu came with Li Chongyi. When he saw the mirror in the studio, he hesitated for a moment and secretly picked up a small one. While Xiao Zhu and the others did not come, he took off his mask, looked at the pretty face as delicate as a woman in the mirror, and murmured: "So I looked like this, alas, it would be great if there was a woman who looked like me."
Dugu Jiu sighed, put the mask on again, and put the small mirror in his arms.
...
West Chang'an.
A camel caravan is moving towards Chang'an.
"See it! We're here in Chang'an's city wall!"
The person in front of the team shouted excitedly.
The voice alarmed a heroic female knight in the center of the team. She rushed forward, looked forward for a while, and whispered: "So faster, the city gate will be closed soon. Let's go into the city before the city gate is closed!"
Chapter completed!
