Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

The Blue Bird Kingdom still uses polished bronze mirrors.

A bronze mirror with good craftsmanship can clearly reflect a person's appearance; a bronze mirror with poor craftsmanship can only vaguely see a person's outline.

The craftsmen who mastered this technology basically served kings and nobles, and it is hard to say whether ordinary people had bronze mirrors.

The diorama on the stand was almost as tall as a grown man and required two people to carry it up.

At that time, colored glass was still a rare item. This colored glass mirror that could reflect the whole body had exquisite craftsmanship. There was only one such mirror. As soon as it came out, it attracted the attention of noble women.

After the female host introduced the mirror, without waiting for her to speak, rounds of bidding began, and in the end it was won by the mistress of the Hongnong Yang family.

Like the Cui family, the Hongnong Yang family is a prominent family that has lasted for hundreds of years and has in-laws with many nobles and ministers.

"Congratulations to Box No. 6!" The female host made the final decision and smiled as she congratulated the owner of the mirror - Mrs. Yang.

Madam Yang was sitting in the box and did not show up, but her maids were all surrounded by jewels and jades, and were arrogant and looked down on others.

Anyone who doesn't know the truth would mistakenly think that this is Yang's daughter.

However, Yang's maids were all dressed so luxuriously, so their masters would only be better.

To put it simply, this peep show is just a dressing mirror commonly seen in later generations. At most, it carries labels such as "purely handmade" and "imperial tribute", which makes its value continue to rise.

Chen Jia was not interested in this dressing mirror; the bronze mirror in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was more to her liking.

The Regent saw what she was thinking and did not make an offer for it.

He obviously noticed Madam Yang's scene, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Maybe he was too kind, Yang was still able to stir up trouble and spend money like water, I'm afraid she took advantage of him!

In the box, Mrs. Yang was feeling very proud after taking down the peep show, but suddenly she got goose bumps on her back. For some unknown reason, Mrs. Yang's good mood suddenly disappeared.

"Forget it, let's go home!" Madam Yang shook her handkerchief and stood up first, "Let's stop here today."

Miss Yang was caught off guard, "Ah, mother?"

Miss Yang lowered her head and said obediently, "Yes, mother!"

Miss Yang San was dissatisfied: "Mother, why did you leave so suddenly?" They have been feeling very depressed for a while. Mother finally came out for a trip and promised to buy some things for them. Why did she change her mind?

Madam Yang soothed him gently, "This trip has already cost us too much. If your father knew about this, he would be unhappy again!"

When Madam Yang brought up Lord Yang, the three young ladies fell silent. They were still in awe of their father. If they made him unhappy, they would be grounded again.

In the past, Lord Yang doted on these children and gave them whatever they asked for. But recently, if they asked him for something, he would scold them instead. At the very least, his salary would be deducted, and at the worst, they would be confined to their homes.

Miss Yang San did not escape any of the punishments. When she heard that her father would definitely be angry, she followed her mother unwillingly, stomping her feet loudly.

Mrs. Yang turned a deaf ear and left.

The other two ladies didn't dare to provoke her. They lowered their heads and left quickly.

"The second exhibit - Tibetan jade!" As the female host finished speaking, a large stone with a dark green surface was brought up.

The female host vividly introduced the origin of the stone. Her words were full of incitement and many people were interested in this stone.

In Chen Jia's view, this is the gambling on stones of later generations.

Spend a lot of money to buy a piece of stone that doesn't know its value.

After opening it, you may become rich overnight, or you may become poor again in an instant.

No one at the auction house could tell what was going on inside.

Just when everyone was hesitating, the No. 1 box made the first bid.

"Gold, one hundred ingots!" The hostess excitedly quoted the price, "The highest bidder wins. Is there anyone here who can offer a higher price than this?"

Everyone: Silence is Cambridge tonight...

At this price, most people have lost the ambition to bid; and as for the identity of the bidder, they dare not bid!

Asking is redundant!

The female host quoted the price three times in a row, and finally decided who would own the hidden jade. "Let us congratulate the No. 1 box for winning the hidden jade!"

The second exhibit was taken away. These exhibits with owners will be signed for and handed over to their owners after the auction.

To put it simply, it means handing over money and receiving goods at the same time to prevent chaos.

Although I am somewhat curious about what is hidden in the jade, it would be a loss to spend a hundred ingots of gold to buy an unremarkable stone. What if there is really a stone inside?

The purchasing power of gold and silver in the Blue Bird Kingdom is quite amazing. Most of the coins circulating in the market now are copper coins. One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, one tael of silver is equivalent to ten strings of copper coins, and one string of copper coins is equivalent to one thousand copper coins.

As far as Chen Jia knew, the people of Blue Bird Country spent less than two taels of silver a year, which was considered a relatively good life. A poor family might not even spend one tael of silver a year.

Perhaps Chen Jia's look was too startled, so the Regent poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the lady. "The interesting thing about hiding jade is that you can never guess whether it is jade or stone. Your Majesty, what do you think is inside?"

Chen Jia joked, "If I guess correctly, will there be a reward?"

The Regent replied to her affirmatively, "Of course there is, Your Majesty!"

"Then my answer is, yes!" Chen Jia sincerely hoped that there was.

The Regent spent so much money to buy a stone, so the answer should be no. Just think of it as a good omen.

"Thank you for your good wishes, Your Majesty." The Regent picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. When Chen Jia saw him drinking tea, he realized that he was thirsty too. There was a cup of tea poured in front of him.

She picked it up and drank it in small sips.

This tea is brewed quite well. It has a natural fragrance and a slightly sweet aftertaste, but it is not too astringent.

What Chen Jia likes most is the snacks on the plate. They look pleasing on the outside, but when you bite into them, you will find that they are filled with salty meat filling!

how to say?

It’s delicious too!

"Your Majesty, you should not eat too much." After Chen Jiaxuan dropped two pieces of cake, the Regent spoke up to stop him.

Your Majesty is in a delicate and frail body. If you eat so much at night, you might get indigestion.

He tapped the table with his index finger, and in an instant, Fuyun tiptoed in. The Regent leaned close to his ear and gave him a few instructions.

Fuyun's expression did not show any expression. He glanced at Her Majesty with his peripheral vision. She was looking at the direction of the booth with her chin in her hand with great interest. Fuyun concealed his surprise, lowered his brows and walked out.

When he came in again, he was holding a bowl of soup that could help digestion and eliminate food stagnation.

The regent added a small bowl to Chen Jia, "Your Majesty, this soup helps digestion and eliminate stagnation. Please have some."

"Okay..." Chen Jia, who actually didn't feel full at all, stretched out her hand to take the small bowl, but the other party dodged it easily.

Chen Jia opened his eyes and looked at him. The Regent patiently explained: "It's a little hot, Your Majesty."

"Oh..." Chen Jia realized it later and retracted her hand.

Finally, the soup cooled down a little, and Chen Jia drank the warm digestive soup, which tasted sour and sweet. She wanted another bowl.

The Regent did not understand.

The Regent had a headache.
