Liu Family Compound.
Pei Yun moved three boxes out of Liu Yiyi's room. The betrothal gifts in the first two boxes shocked everyone present.
I originally thought that he couldn't produce anything good, but now I know that I was wrong. Moreover, this is not an ordinary thing, but a rare treasure.
Even if Pei Feng and Pei Yun were at odds, he had to admit that he was stunned by what Pei Yun took out. Now everyone was looking at the third box, wanting to see if it contained another rare treasure.
Pei Yun naturally would not let them down. When the third box was opened, five small glass bottles were placed inside. Everyone's eyes widened.
They had never seen such an exquisite and small glass bottle before. Xiao Zhiruo was also stunned. She had been to the palace when she was a child. At that time, there were glass bottles tributed from Persia in the palace, which were considered the best glass bottles in Jing Dynasty.
Xiao Zhiruo was only five years old at that time, but she still remembered the glass bottle vividly. The glass bottle in the box now was even more exquisite than the one tributed from Persia, and it was more transparent, so you could clearly see the water inside.
Everyone gasped. It was the first time they had seen such an exquisite and transparent glass bottle.
"This is?"
Xiao Zhiruo picked up a glass bottle and looked at Pei Yun.
Pei Yun reached out and took the glass bottle from Xiao Zhiruo's hand, took off the bottle cap and said with a smile: "Give me your hand."
Xiao Zhiruo stretched out her hand, and Pei Yun held Xiao Zhiruo's wrist with his left hand. When their skin touched, Xiao Zhiruo's cheeks immediately turned red.
But Pei Yun pressed the button lightly, and misty gas came out of the nozzle and landed on Xiao Zhiruo's wrist.
"This thing is called perfume. Princess, please smell it and see if you like it."
Liu Jingzhi suddenly said with great sorrow, "What a waste! What a waste! How can such a good glass bottle be used to hold water?"
The others also nodded. In their opinion, glass is much more precious than water. No matter how fragrant your water is, it is not worthy of being packaged in a glass bottle.
Pei Yun was speechless. The truly valuable part of the third betrothal gift was the perfume, not the glass bottle, okay?
Of course, he also knew that it was impossible to convince these people. The Jing Dynasty did not have the technology to make glass bottles. The existing glass bottles, glass mirrors, and glass beads were all passed down from Persia.
However, after the Hu people occupied the north, the Silk Road was cut off and they could no longer exchange with Persia. Although the Jing Dynasty and the Northern Hu were at war, they were also trading with each other.
But the price of purchasing glass products from Beihu is much higher, and the five glass bottles in the box now, in terms of fineness and transparency, surpass the best glass bottles that everyone present has ever seen. These are truly valuable things.
Although they also thought that the first two things Pei Yun had were valuable, they had never seen them and therefore had no comparison. However, they could roughly estimate the value of the glass bottle.
Each of these five bottles is priceless. It is rare to see even one, let alone five.
Xiao Zhiruo's brain was in a state of shutdown at this time, and the only word in her mind was the word "fragrance".
This fragrance was different from the sachet she used. She couldn't tell what it was. She only knew that it smelled better than any sachet she had worn before, even the one given to her by the Queen.
She was a little intoxicated, and her eyes were shining.
Women love beauty, and fragrance is also a kind of beauty. She originally thought that glass bottled water was a bit wasteful, but now she doesn’t think so anymore.
This unique perfume can probably only be packaged in a glass bottle.
Pei Yun sprayed a little more in the air and said, "Smell it."
Everyone's nose moved and they were shocked. The fragrance was like pear blossoms blooming in spring, with a hint of sweetness that was refreshing.
The fragrance is not strong, but it makes people want to keep this subtle fragrance in their lungs forever.
Pei Yanshu's eyes suddenly widened. He was originally reluctant to brag about Pei Yun's betrothal gift, but the fragrance was so unique and so pleasant that he couldn't help but speak.
"This scent is even more elegant than ambergris."
When he was young, he had seen ambergris from the Western Regions at the main branch of the Pei family. He would remember the fragrance for the rest of his life and originally thought it was a rare and precious fragrance in the world. However, compared with this fragrance, he felt that ambergris was a bit vulgar.
Liu Jingzhi also took a deep breath, with an intoxicated look on his face and shock in his heart. As a member of a noble family, he was fond of elegance and carried a sachet with him at all times. Every time he went out, other nobles would praise him for the good smell of the sachet.
He was very proud of this, but now he feels that the sachet formula he spent a lot of money to buy is not fragrant anymore.
Pei Feng also stayed where he was at this moment. When he was still able to lift his arms, he often went to brothels. The perfume and powder used by the girls in those brothels were already the best. But when he smelled this fragrance at this moment, he felt that the perfume and powder in brothels were all mediocre and vulgar.
He wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but he couldn't say anything and felt extremely annoyed.
Pei Yun stole all the limelight. Why? Whatever his family had, Pei Yun also had, and his was better than his. Whatever his family didn't have, Pei Yun also had, and they were all rare treasures.
Why is this happening?
It was agreed that he was a bandit and I was from a noble family, but why do I feel like I am the poor and destitute bandit?
Xue Wenju said at this time, "This is not water, this is fairy dew. Only fairy dew can have such a pleasant fragrance."
Everyone nodded.
Pei Yun looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd with a slight curl of his lips. These five bottles of perfume were bought by him in a specialty store in the mall. They were all big brands. Not to mention people of this era, even modern people can't resist them.
"Princess, do you like these three betrothal gifts of mine?"
