Chapter 324: The Concubine Does Not Harm the Country, She Only Wants to Harm the Imperial Master (Twenty-Eight)
Xiao Zhuzi left quickly and came back quickly.
He was holding a large box, and in front of everyone's puzzled gazes, he took out three washbasin-sized mirrors and handed them forward one by one.
The Zhao family patriarch caught a glimpse of silver light and, leaning in to examine it, politely said, "I'm not worthy of this, Master Imperial Master... Hiss, how was this silver mirror polished? Why does it reflect such vivid and clear images?"
The Li family patriarch reached out and touched it, frowning and correcting himself: "No, this material feels cool, it doesn't look like a silver mirror."
The Sun family's Patriarch looked at the clear figure in the mirror with doubt and murmured to himself, "So this is what I look like... Master Imperial Master, what exactly is this thing?"
Yu Huo smiled slightly: "This item is called the Demon Mirror. I refined it when I was free. Do you like it?"
"I like it!" The Zhao family patriarch touched the smooth mirror with great interest, and asked curiously, "Can this thing really reveal monsters?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng, who had never left, suddenly interrupted and said, "Master Imperial Master, can you let me see this treasure?"
Yu Huo paused, rummaged through the box for a while, and took out a palm-sized dressing mirror and handed it to the other party: "If Concubine Jiang likes it, this piece will be given to you by me."
The titles of "Imperial Concubine" and "Yours" are really confusing. Fortunately, except for Eunuch Gao, no one at the scene cares too much about these.
Jiang Feng looked at the palm-sized mirror that was handed to him, his eyes passing over the back embedded in the glass, and his fingertips slowly stroking the beautiful pattern on the handle.
It is obvious that this thing in his hand...compared to the crude mirrors given to those merchants, although it is small, it is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into it.
Jiang Feng curled the corners of his lips, and a look of joy flashed across his eyes.
Yu Huo, who had not yet forgotten the temporarily neglected Zhao family head, said, "Of course, all monsters will be exposed under this mirror!"
Eunuch Gao glanced at Jiang Feng, who was admiring himself in the mirror, and rolled his eyes secretly.
The three imperial merchants were overjoyed; this thing seemed even more precious than colored glaze!
Qian Shiren's eyes flashed with desire, and he stood up suddenly: "Master Imperial Master, after hearing what you just said, I am deeply moved. However, my family does not have a grain store business, and the little we have is not enough to balance the market price."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three imperial merchants immediately cast vigilant and repulsive glances at him.
But Qian Shiren had already offended them when he donated money at the door, so after a moment's thought, he decided to go all out. Ignoring their threatening looks, he said in a deep voice, "When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Although I don't have a grain business, I can donate a hundred good horses and am willing to serve the court."
Oh my, Yu Huo really likes Qian Shiren from the bottom of his heart. He always gets off to a good start.
Yu Huo waved his hand and sent out another mirror, sighing at the same time: "The backbone of a country cannot be broken. The success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. If Daning were full of people like Boss Qian, why would we worry about not being able to conquer the Wu Kingdom?
"Boss Qian, don't worry, I've taken note of everything you've done, and I won't let you suffer any loss in the future!"
As soon as this was said, the other merchants also became interested and rushed to speak: "My Wang family has a coal business, and I, Wang, want to donate coal."
"My Zheng family has a cloth business and can make clothes and tents for the army..."
Everyone spoke freely and threw money around. The three imperial merchants suddenly felt that their positions were in jeopardy. Fearing that they would be slow to act, they hurriedly said, "We have people. We can form a guard team to escort food and fodder for the border soldiers and relieve the pressure on the court."
Good, good, good!
Not only was the mission completed, it was even exceeded. Yu Huo tried hard to maintain superficial calm and not get too excited.
It was not until dark that the merchants left together.
The moon was above the willows, and the bright moonlight seemed to have covered the surroundings with a layer of white gauze, making the atmosphere become quiet and peaceful.
The cold wind widened the gaps in the window, and the candlelight in the room swayed left and right. After struggling for a moment, it was extinguished by the night wind with a "puff".
At this moment, a cool arm wrapped around Yu Huo's waist from behind, and habitually rested her chin on his shoulder, with a gloating tone.
"Are you still in the mood to admire the moon?"
Yu Huo glanced at the unclear outline of the person in the moonlight and shook his head: "That's not the moon."
Jiang Feng exhaled softly in his ear, his voice hoarse and pleasant: "If it's not the moon, then what is it?"
"It's Guanghan City!"
"What city?"
Yu Huo was too lazy to explain to him. He shrugged and shook him off his shoulder: "Oh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Feng straightened his slender body, and when he stopped moving, he pressed back with practiced skill, teasing him with a hint of concern: "These merchants have been defrauded of half a jar of their wealth by you, aren't you afraid that they will react and bear a grudge?"
Yu Huo chuckled nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll let them go to Hui Country to do business and make the money back."
Jiang Feng curled his lips: "They are staying in the capital, how can they easily go to Hui Country?"
Yu Huo was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with him. He let him cling to him and patiently explained, "The bait has been laid, how could they not go? The glass and the mirror... even a fool knows their value."
Jiang Feng pondered for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Oh~" and said, "Are you still going to harm Hui Country?"
Yu Huo: "Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. It is better to deal with them all at once."
"But if you do this, what should I do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huo felt something furry brushing against the side of his neck, as if it was acting coquettishly.
"You have already cultivated into a human form, so stop trying to take shortcuts." Yu Huo reached out and poked the tip of his soft ear, and his handsome profile felt a moment of warmth in the moonlight.
"Little fox, being too greedy won't end well."
"Isn't it worse than you?" Jiang Feng stretched out the tip of his long tail, lifted the young man's chin, and glanced at his charming fox eyes. The more he looked, the more he liked him...
He rolled his eyes and sneered, "You almost emptied half of the capital in just one day. What will be the end of such a greedy person like you?"
Yu Huo felt itchy from being rubbed by the fox fur. He shrank his neck and said perfunctorily, "Thrown into a snake den?"
Jiang Feng paused: "Why?"
Yu Huo's eyes were filled with sarcasm as he looked over: "If His Majesty knew that I cheated on him, wouldn't he throw me into a snake den?"
Jiang Feng smiled and rubbed him with his fluffy ears: "Then I'll get rid of him first, okay?"
Yu Huo asked in surprise: "Are you willing to do that?"
"Why would I be reluctant?" Jiang Feng began to list the young man's advantages: "You're so good-looking, and so good at making money... I'm sure I'll have a good life with you."
Yu Huo didn't want to work himself to death to support him, so he rolled his eyes and said, "I can't say for sure, I've never raised a fox before."
Jiang Feng is indeed a top student, he can grasp every key point accurately.
"So what have you raised?"
Yu Huo glanced at him and said, "Mermaid."
Jiang Feng was instantly displeased, with accusations in his eyes: "Mermaids are fishy and delicate. You have terrible taste."
Yu Huo looked at him hesitantly, wanting to say something.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Yu Huo: "...It's nothing, I think you are right."
Jiang Feng: “…”
Why do I feel like I'm punching cotton?
