"Did Younger Brother Yi exchange his lifespan for this?" Li Longji's head was crooked, and so was the reflection in the mirror.
"Yes. Bring me a lot of them. This one is two feet long and one foot wide. It's considered a big mirror. There are also small mirrors. There are thirty of them in total. I'll send them to Baifu Palace later."
As Empress Wang spoke, she turned around and brought over a similar big mirror and five small mirrors. The small mirrors were two inches long and wide.
Among all the mirrors, there were five big ones and twenty-five small ones.
Li Longji sighed inwardly. He knew that he couldn't give these mirrors to other women.
Whoever wanted them could only look for the empress.
The two of them happily went to Baifu Palace to deliver the mirrors to Retired Emperor and Noble Consort Lu.
Baifu Palace was filled with exclamations. Noble Consort Lu used a silk cloth to wipe the mirrors carefully.
While wiping, she said, "There's actually such a good thing. That Li Yi is really omnipotent. Does Third Young Master plan to recruit him into the imperial court?"
Li Longji said bluntly, "I don't want to. I don't want to reveal my identity. It's not far away. If there's anything, I can ask him."
At this time, Li Dan said, "I heard that the outside world is saying that no one wants to buy Li Yi's Zhuangzi's Hundred Boiled Round Eggs. Is there a lot of ridicule?"
"That's right. The officials are all angry." Li Longji got angry again.
Zhen treated them with respect. You guys are too arrogant and want to arrest them. Zhen wants to see who will do it. When the time comes, Zhen will kill all of you together.
As they talked, they ate dinner here. The other five princes also came over.
When they saw the mirrors, they all asked for them. Empress Wang gave each of them a small mirror. This empress is not rich.
Li Chengqi looked at the big mirror and then looked at the small mirror again. He didn't want it. He planned to go find Li Yi tomorrow.
At night, a group of people who had fun during the day gathered together. They wanted to go to Earthly Paradise for dinner, but they were worried that someone would spit in the food.
So they went to Pyong Kang Square. They wanted to enjoy and be happy.
Last time, Li Yi's Zhuangzi had bought soy sauce together. As a result, they had reduced the supply by half. They had no choice but to compromise.
Now that the tables had turned, the hundred boiled round eggs couldn't be sold anymore, right? You won't be able to make any money, right? Are you sad? You're worried, aren't you?
"Quick, take us to Master Yan's courtyard." Shopkeeper Liang took out two rolls of red silk.
"That's right, let's go to Master Yan's courtyard and listen to Xiao Hongchen." Shopkeeper Feng added.
However, the maidservant did not move. There was no brothel keeper here. The noble 'everyone' had their own courtyard.
After entering Nanqu, he first looked for the maidservant.
"Why haven't you gone yet?" Shopkeeper Liang looked at the maidservant.
"My wife is not feeling well," the maid replied with a cold face.
Shopkeeper Liang looked at the other maid. "Where is Master Sha?"
"My wife isn't feeling well either." Another maid said with a similarly cold expression.
He looked at another one, "How is Zheng Rong?"
"I don't feel well." The maid shook her head.
He changed the topic. "New Swallow Dance?"
"Shopkeeper Liang, you don't need to ask. No one in Pyong Kang Square's Nanqu will receive you." The kind maid said something sad.
"Why?" Shopkeeper Liang was depressed. He had spent a lot here in the past, but every time he came, he would only see a smiling face.
Even if 'everyone' was unwilling to receive him, the maidservant would still ask, "What happened today?
Tell me, and I'll die knowing. "
"Shopkeeper Liang, why don't you go to Zhongqu to take a look? Perhaps there's a sister there who will serve you. There's also a thousand boiled chaos egg there," another maid said.
The people who came over were enlightened. The hundred boiled round eggs were the best Nanqu dish in Pyong Kang Square. None of the 'everyone' would serve them.
"Just because of a song?" Shopkeeper Feng was unconvinced.
"Those who know us well are Li Yi and Li Lang. Even if we're travellers, we're still proud." The maidservant raised her chin slightly.
Everyone was helpless and could only turn to Zhongqu. In the end …
"My wife drank wine for nothing and is still drunk."
"My wife is practicing hard and seems to have gained something. It's inconvenient to disturb her."
"My wife is already receiving guests."
"Huan Niang is on break today."
"Shopkeeper Liang, why don't you go to Beiqu to take a look?"
"We don't have thousand boiled chaos egg here. Don't listen to the Nanqu sisters' nonsense."
Everyone looked at each other. Should they go to Beiqu? The quality was getting lower and lower.
Shopkeeper Feng took the lead and went to Beiqu. Beiqu was Beiqu. It wasn't that the women in Beiqu weren't beautiful. It was just that there was a gap in talent.
When they arrived at Beiqu.
"My period is here. It's hard to serve you."
"My period, please forgive me."
"My period, sorry."
"My period …"
It seemed that all the women in Beiqu were on their period.
The group held expensive silk and gauze, but they couldn't find a place to rest in Pyong Kang Square.
They were as happy as they were during the day, but now they were depressed.
Were they going to find a prostitute or a small brothel outside the city?
"Why don't we go home?" Some people were afraid. Pyong Kang Square wasn't an ordinary place. Officials and nobles were frequent visitors of Zhongqu and Nanqu.
If the woman inside slandered them, how much would they have to pay to settle it?
So they dispersed, each with a load on their minds.
The next day, these people went to Li Yi's Zhuangzi together to buy soy sauce.
When they arrived at their destination, there was a carriage with a carriage parked beside them.
They didn't have time to pay attention.
Empress Wang was in the carriage looking at herself in the mirror. She was applying lipstick on her lips. It still had a bit of watermelon flavor.
She had just gotten it from Li Yi in the morning. She hadn't even eaten and wanted to come over to watch the fun.
Li Longji sat at the side and admired. When he came over today, Brother Yi gave her an exquisite and large makeup box. It could pull all kinds of drawers and even flip the lid. Inside the lid was a mirror.
There was a poem engraved in thin gold: In the bridal chamber, the red candles stopped last night, waiting for the morning hall to greet Aunt. After the makeup was done, she asked her husband in a low voice. The depth of her eyebrows was very deep.
The cubicles were filled with the most expensive rouge and face powder in Chang 'an. In addition, there were small cotton pads and small brushes.
Li Longji felt that he already knew how to have fun. Today, he had to admit that he was still far behind Brother Yi.
The auction started 15 minutes later. Song Decai came over with the same smile as he did every day.
The people who participated in the auction felt a little guilty. They were very anxious during the 15 minutes.
"The auction starts now. 10 catties of soy sauce and 100 boiled eggs for a set. The starting price is 60,000 RMB. Each increment must not be less than 1,000 RMB. The first set is 60,000 RMB. Anyone want it?"
Song Decai shouted.
The people who came over: "…"
"What the f * ck!" Someone shouted out what was in his mind.
"Hahaha ~ ~ ~" Empress Wang laughed in the carriage.
"Hahaha ~ ~ ~" Li Longji couldn't help but laugh.
They came over without asking Li Yi what to do. They just wanted to see those people. If necessary, they would find a reason to deal with them.
In the end …
They didn't buy the spiced tea eggs sold separately. Now, they were sold together with the soy sauce.
The group of people who had come over were dumbfounded.
How could they do this? This is too much of a f * cking bully. Are you guys still human?
Song Decai smiled. You want to fight with my Dongzhu? Hmph!
"60,000 RMB going once, 60,000 RMB going twice …"
"Number nine, 61,000 RMB." Someone shouted. That voice seemed to be filled with endless grievances. He even sounded like he was about to cry.
"Number 9, sixty-one thousand. Is there anyone else who wants it? 61,000 RMB going once, 60,000 RMB … "
"Number eight, 63,000 RMB." Someone shouted with a trembling voice.
"63,000 RMB going once, 63,000 RMB going twice, 63,000 RMB going thrice. Sold. Congratulations to number eight." Song Decai was satisfied.
He continued to shout: "The second set, 10 catties of soy sauce and 100 boiled eggs. The starting price is 65,000 RMB."
"Why did it increase by 5,000 RMB?" Someone immediately complained.
"So it's Shopkeeper Liang from the guest house. There is not much soy sauce left. The supply is even smaller. Also, the price … is too low."
Song Decai changed a few words and returned the words that Shopkeeper Liang said yesterday.
"That's too expensive. There are cheap eggs outside." Another person said.
"Shopkeeper Feng, one can't be too greedy. If there is profit to be made, why not make money?" Song Decai continued to repeat what the others said yesterday.
Thus, everyone understood. It was the same as last time. On the first day, they would take action. On the second day, they would pay back with interest.
This time was no different. They didn't buy eggs yesterday. Today, they had to buy two sets.
Moreover, the starting price kept increasing. Revenge. It was definitely revenge.
Yesterday … were we … too arrogant?
