Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Twenty-one glass
Li Hong beckoned, Xiaoxue and Xiaohan, who had been waiting for a long time, walked in first with a gift box each, followed by Jingzhe and Cheetah carrying a box together. It seemed that the contents were quite heavy.
Li Yifu looked at Li Hong's personal court ladies and eunuchs, and walked in carrying the gift box. He smiled and whispered in Xu Jingzong's ear. Xu Jingzong looked clear and surprised.
"What kind of thing is it so troublesome?" Wu Mei asked, looking at the gift box, still full of curiosity and expectation for this ghost gift. I am afraid that the gift this little thing gave her is just as unusual as others, and I look forward to the little one to surprise her.
The courtiers just saw Li Hong’s wit and bravery, and still have a lot of doubts about the scene of washing hands in the oil pan. No one can figure out why the hand of the king is fine, the hand of the Western Turkic Khan I got burned when I reached in, and I'm afraid I'll be disabled if I look at it like that.
At this moment, watching Li Hong present a gift to his mother's queen, everyone became curious and wanted to see what kind of unique gift this king would give his mother's queen.
Li Hong asked Xiaoxue to put the gift box on Li Zhi’s case first. Yang Wu next to Li Zhi had already learned the gift. He dared to check the gifts of other princes and princesses according to the system before handing them to Your majesty or queen.
But he didn't dare to check the gift of the king. This king was famous for his grudges. He kicked himself and made his foot hurt, and then he brought in the king. Three or four months of revenge, during that period of time, money was swindled by the king. Moreover, the shocking scene of withdrawing money from the oil pot just now made him respect Dai Wang from his heart, and at the same time gave birth to a trace of fear.
So Yang Wu opened one eye and closed one eye, as if he had forgotten the rules of guarding the emperor and empress in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and stood straight there, watching the Dai Wang personally open the gift placed on His Majesty’s case. box.
Xiaoxue obediently picked up the fine red sandalwood plaque and placed it on the table, and then Li Hong took out a jade-green plaque from the gift box, and Li Zhi's surprised eyes Next, Xiaoxue helped Li Hongan put it on the interstitial shelf.
"Oh, it's the other way around." Li Hong glanced at the front and back of the interstitial, scratched his head, and said.
Li Zhi smiled and didn't wait for him to adjust the interstitial, he already adjusted the interstitial, and saw a poem engraved on the front of the interstitial, and he couldn't help saying: "Gu Shi Youxiang celebrity bone, The heart of the emperor of green pine and cypress."
"Haha, well, it's rare for Hong'er to be so deliberate! It's rare, but I don't know what this stone is?" Li Zhilong has a great heart, and Cangsong Jinbai is a description of the noble quality and firm morals of a person. Included in a poem, this interstitial description is really appropriate.
Wu Mei's eyebrows were also circling, looking at the green, green, and shining interstitial screen was a surprise. The gift this little guy gave was really original.
The officials also knew little about malachite, including the countries of the Western Regions. Seeing such a beautiful green stone, even as good as jade, was amazed and muttered: "This is A rare treasure."
Li Hong chuckled and opened the small box on Wu Mei's case, and said to Wu Mei with a flat face: "Mother, today is your big day of joy, so I will give you one more. These are some jewelry made for you with malachite. Don’t underestimate the efficacy of this malachite. It is said that genius Sun Simiao once praised this malachite, saying that it is an excellent jewelry for women to beautify their skin and delay skin aging. Chen has also seen this statement in an ancient book, so you must wear it often."
Li Hong pulled the jewellery inside, like a few treasures: there are several necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, heart-shaped jade pendants, rings with malachite, earrings, etc. Li Yifu has made several of all the accessories that women like. vice.
It's no secret that Wu Mei likes green and red. Seeing these malachite jewelry, I was naturally happy to close my mouth from ear to ear, taking out one from time to time in full view, and then carefully putting it away and handing it over to the court lady.
Then Li Hong chuckled and said, "Although this malachite is rare in Chang'an, Luoyang and other markets, please believe me, it is definitely not more rare than jade, and even rarer than jade. This is me. Please ask Li Yifu to find it after searching for a long time. It cost me a lot of money."
Li Yifu secretly gave Li Hong a thumbs up as he heard from below. This generation of Wang is really Qiqiao Linglongxin. At this time, he began to sell the malachite shop that was about to open. He bet that after a while, he would definitely Many ministers would ask him how to sell this malachite.
Looking at many of the ministers, Li Hong turned their attention to Li Yifu, knowing that his goal was achieved, and the advertising effect was really immediate.
As the saying goes: gold in troubled times, antiques in flourishing times. At this moment, although wars often occur on the border of Datang, the places where many people gather in Guanzhong have been able to provide food and clothing after decades of rest and recuperation, so this antique calligraphy and painting began to have a market.
Next is the big advertisement that Li Hong wants to do today, that piece of natural and natural malachite.
Li Hong did not take the malachite out of the huge gift box, but ordered the cheetah and Jingzhe to open the lid of the gift box under Wu Mei and Li Zhi, so that the officials can also be the first Time to see the magic of nature.
The lid of the gift box was taken away by the startled sting and cheetah. Everyone craned their necks and looked inside. Even Li Zhi and Wu Mei leaned forward slightly, wanting to see what kind of malachite it was.
"Ah..."
"A wonderful workmanship..."
"This...this is like a valley."
"No, it looks more like a group of mountains."
Li Hong listened to the admiration of the crowd and continued to advertise: "The beauty of this malachite is beyond description, the beauty of the country, the beauty of the country, the gorgeous colors, and the elegant posture. Look, does it look like a mountain Mountains?"
How can Wu Mei not understand this little guy's mind? At this time, when everyone was admiring, they greatly appreciated the gift they gave her, and by the way, they also brought Li Yifu to him. This little guy seemed to be getting closer and closer economically with Li Yifu. How could she not know that these malachites Li Hong ordered Li Yifu to find it.
However, the malachite in front of me is really attractive, and it is an excellent thing to watch. The whole malachite is like the surging peaks of emerald mountains, each peak is green like pine, and underneath the stone is The light or dark green complement each other, and the light white hangs straight down in the emerald green, like a waterfall.
Lightly tap it with a little bit of black, just like the mountain path. The mountains are formed because of the emerald green. The scenery that can only be overlooked after climbing the mountain is really exquisite. It's refreshing, and it feels like going deep into the mountains.
Just when everyone sighed and praised the magical work of nature, it was able to brew such a beautiful and colorful malachite, the envoy of Guizi suddenly said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Tang, today, to celebrate the canonization of the queen, we It also brings our sincerity to His Majesty and Queen of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhi smiled and whisked his beard, looking at the tortoise messenger and slowly said: "I don't know what it is? Present it." The tone was extremely plain.
The Guizi messenger watched the Datang ministers return to their own case, and then walked up to Li Zhi and Wu Mei and said, "We prepared our Guizi for you and the queen. There are two national treasures, Linglong Tower. This rare treasure is different from the Linglong Tower made by colored glaze. Because this treasure is more transparent and bright, you can even see the person on the other side clearly through this treasure."
When Li Hong heard, isn't Nima talking about glass? Liuli knew that the colored glaze craftsmanship of the Western Regions was originally higher than that of the Tang Dynasty.
So whether in Chang'an or Luoyang, the colored glaze made by the Western Regions is more popular with wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials. In particular, their colored glaze products are beautiful in shape and exquisite craftsmanship. On the whole, they are better than the colored glaze made by Datang. More beautiful and colorful.
Furthermore, according to historical records: During the reign of Li Zhi, there was an incident in which a palace lady accidentally smashed a glazed glass tower. This incident caused Li Zhi to be furious, and looked at the glass ballast on the ground with distress.
But does glass already have a fairly high level of craftsmanship in the Western Regions? Li Hong is skeptical about this. If the glass craftsmanship of the Western Regions reaches a very high level~IndoMTL.com~, the Xia Guan on the head of the mother at the moment will look a bit too rustic.
After all, the rosy crown on the back of the mother's head consists of 12 drop-shaped glass and 13 flower trees forming a large outline. It uses copper, gold, white marble, pearls, and glass, which is still the same as the frosted glass of the previous generation. It is made of glass that is not very transparent. So you can imagine how expensive this glass is in this era!
If the Guizi messenger can now come up with transparent glass, then the countries in the Western Regions really should not be underestimated. Their industrial development has been ahead of Datang for many years.
Li Hong didn't expect that if Guizi's messenger took out the glass-made Linglong Tower, the gift he presented would seem worthless. But Wu Mei frowned slightly, and she didn't want anyone to take Li Hong's limelight today.
Li Zhi has always realized that the birth of Yiyang, Gao An, and their queen Xiao Shu are really a perfect match for the family. There is indeed a lack of a tendon in his mind. After hearing the words of the messenger of the turtle, his eyes lit up. , Hurriedly said: "Hurry up and appreciate it with me."
Wu Mei rolled her eyes at Li Zhi helplessly, and then looked at Li Hong with some worry, only to see Li Hong's face thinking, not like the fear of being robbed of the limelight, but also the kindness in her heart. Just faded a little bit, watching the Guizi messenger put the two glass Linglong towers on the table.
Li Hong was delighted the first time he saw the two exquisite glass towers. He was really careless. He puts too much emphasis on the countries of the Western Regions. Forgot to use their brains to make it completely transparent. From the glass.
I saw that these two exquisite glass towers seemed to be transparent, like vitiligo, one bright and one dark, and the bright place was like frosted glass. I wanted to see the opposite person through the glass. I'm afraid that only when the light is shining, I can vaguely see a vague figure.
