Changle Palace.
Princess Changle was anxiously staying in her boudoir. Li Zhi, as a small spy, was constantly running back and forth between Changle Palace and the Political Hall.
"Sister Changle, Meton has arrived at the palace!" Li Zhi ran to Princess Changle and reported while panting.
"Slave Zhi did well!"
Changle blushed and stuffed a piece of cake into Li Zhi's mouth as a reward for his contribution.
Li Zhi swallowed the cake in his mouth in a few bites and could not help but look at the cake that was missing a chip.
"Go and find out more! It would be great if you could find out more! These cakes are all yours! "Changle tempted.
When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately ran to the Legislative Hall, full of energy.
"Makeup mirror, dressing mirror, dressing mirror!"
"Wedding on the 16th of February!"
"Three thousand five hundred households, fief adjacent to the Mo Family Village."
… … …
Soon, as Li Zhi ate the cakes one by one, news came from Li Zhi's mouth to Princess Changle's ears.
Princess Changle could not help but feel both bashful and proud. She was bashful because her wedding date had changed. She was proud because Modun had not gone back on his word and had subdued the entire harem. To be able to marry such a husband was enough for her.
"Your Royal Highness, this is Merton's betrothal gift. Your Royal Highness, please accept it!" A group of palace maids and eunuchs carried the betrothal gift to Changle Palace. Behind the group of eunuchs, there were many princesses who came after hearing the news. Changle was the eldest princess, and today was the day of the wedding, so they naturally came to congratulate her.
"Congratulations, Sister, on finding a good match!" Princess Yu Zhang said with a look of envy. The other princesses naturally came forward to congratulate her. Even Princess Gao Yang, who was at odds with Changle, also sent her blessings.
"Is this Brother-in-law's betrothal gift?" Princess Baling asked curiously. Her gaze involuntarily fell on the red silk in the hands of the palace maids and eunuchs.
News of Meton using the magic mirror's secret recipe as a betrothal gift had already spread throughout the harem. A group of princesses had come to congratulate him. Of course, the most important reason for their visit was to see just how miraculous the magic mirror was.
Princess Changle smiled. She naturally knew what her sisters were thinking. To be honest, even she was curious about the so-called magic mirror.
"Open it!" Princess Changle said proudly, indicating for the eunuchs to open the red silk.
This was her betrothal gift. Being able to make all her sisters so envious naturally made her feel a little proud.
The red silk once again fell down, and when an exquisite mirror appeared in front of the princesses and reflected their faces, almost all of the princesses cried out in surprise.
"Big Sister is so happy?" Princess Yu Zhang couldn't help but envy.
Such a miraculous mirror as Princess Changle's betrothal gift was much better than some common things. How could the other princesses not be envious?
"If Little Sister likes it, I will ask Meton to send some more mirrors over. It will be more convenient for Little Sisters to use." Princess Changle said generously.
"Thank you, Big Sister Changle!"
The group of princesses couldn't help but cheer. Such a miraculous mirror was a hundred times better than their bronze mirror. How could they not be moved?
"Big Sister still doesn't know! Meton's betrothal gift is not these mirrors, but the secret recipe. "Princess Yu Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Ah!"
Princess Changle exclaimed. Only now did she understand how precious Meton's betrothal gift was.
However, this did not disappoint the princesses. No matter who it was, they would always have their own mirrors.
Just as the princesses were cheering, the news of Meton and Princess Changle's upcoming wedding spread like wildfire throughout Chang 'an City.
Meton and Princess Changle's fairytale-like love had long been talked about by the people of Chang 'an City. Coupled with the rumors of Snow White, everyone naturally knew that Meton's betrothal gift was the magic mirror from Snow White's fairytale.
"Ah! Mo Jiazi really created the magic mirror? "Countless people exclaimed.
"Of course. If not, how could His Majesty allow the marriage? Besides, deceiving His Majesty is a crime of deceiving the Emperor." A citizen said proudly. It was as if he was the one who created the magic mirror.
"I really want to see how miraculous the magic mirror is. Who is the most beautiful woman in the world? "Everyone was itching to see.
It was nothing for men, but for women …
"The magic mirror is just a fairytale. How can it really speak? In my opinion, the magic mirror that Meton mentioned is just a little more miraculous. Besides, everything produced by the Mo Family can be mass-produced. I believe that it won't be long before the magic mirror appears in Chang 'an City," a fan of Meton said firmly.
For a time, the city of Chang 'an was abuzz with discussion. Almost all of the topics were related to the marriage between the magic mirror and Modun and Princess Changle. There were also quite a few people who relished in recounting the love story between Modun and Princess Changle, starting from the night of the first lunar month, causing the audience to cry out in surprise.
To ordinary people, the marriage between Meton and Princess Changle was just a piece of gossip. However, there was a lot of undercurrents in the Hundred Families.
"Mo Jiazi!"
In the Kong Residence, Kong Yingda couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news.
The news that he received was more detailed than ordinary people. The news that Princess Changle's fief was merged with the Mo Family Village had reached his ears immediately.
The marriage between Meton and Princess Changle made them relatives of the royal family. Of course, this gave the Mo Family something to rely on. However, Kong Yingda didn't care about this. What he really needed to be cautious about was Mo Jiazi's unpredictable methods. In addition, the size and population of the Mo Family Village had increased by several times. The Mo Family had grown to the point where the Confucian Family had to pay attention to them.
"Is there any news from Qufu?" Kong Yingda turned to look at the Kong Residence's housekeeper and asked.
The housekeeper nodded and said, "The family has already selected a candidate. It won't be long before they arrive in Chang 'an City. However, the young master is also coming along."
"Kong Huisuo!"
Kong Yingda frowned. After graduating from the Imperial College, Kong Huisuo had returned to the Qufu Kong Family. It had been a year since then.
"It's good that he's here. It's a good opportunity for him to send a congratulatory note to his classmates."
Kong Yingda nodded thoughtfully. Although the Confucian Family and the Mohist Family were rivals, they were still part of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Apart from the Confucian Family, the other Hundred Schools of Thought also paid attention to this matter and sent congratulatory notes one after another.
However, among the Hundred Schools of Thought, the one who was most affected was the Gongshu Family. For a long time, the Mohist Family and the Gongshu Family were evenly matched. However, the sudden rise of the Mohist Family had left the Gongshu Family behind.
This time, Meton and Princess Changle's wedding, Li Shimin had tripled the population and area of the Mo Family Village, leaving the Gongshu Family in the dust.
"The Mo Family Village has completely turned the tables this time!" Gongshu Hong exclaimed.
He had led the Gongshu Family to catch up with the Mohist Family. However, the gap between them and the Mohist Family was getting bigger and bigger. He suddenly felt powerless.
Moreover, with the influence of Princess Changle, not many people would dare to make trouble for the Mo Family Village. The Mo Family Village would usher in a great opportunity for development. The Gongshu Family could only envy.
"In my opinion, the rise of the Mohist Family is not a bad thing for the Gongshu Family. Since the rise of the Mohist Family, the status of the craftsmen has been greatly improved, so has the Gongshu Family," Gongshu Hao said seriously.
Since he had improved the locks, the Mo Family Village had bought a lot of them. His status in the Gongshu Family had been greatly improved, and his words carried more weight.
"That's right. The Gongshu Family is not without its own uniqueness. As long as we stick to our principles, there will be a place for us in the future of the Tang dynasty," Gongshu Hong said firmly.
Gongshu Lun frowned and said, "What about the order for the vault of the Mohist Family?"
Along with the news of Morton's wedding, there was also an order for a bank vault in Village Mo. The most demanding part of the order was that they had to design the safest vault. Even the Gongshu family couldn't crack it.
The Gongshu Family members were in a dilemma. If they accepted the order, they would be afraid that the Mo Family Village would steal the secret technique of the Gongshu Family. The reward of the Mohist Family was very generous. This was a big deal.
Gongshu Lun gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we will accept it! Why not make money? "
"But what if this is a trick of the Mohist Family?" Gongshu Lun said worriedly.
Once the design of the Gongshu Family was given to the Mohist Family, the secret technique of the Gongshu Family would be cracked soon.
Gongshu Hao retorted, "The Gongshu Family is afraid that the Mohist Family will crack the secret technique, but the Mohist Family is not afraid that the Gongshu Family will keep a secret technique to crack the Mohist Family's vault. If both families are on guard against each other like this, I'm afraid nothing will ever happen. "
The Gongshu Family members were stunned. It was the Mohist Family who expressed their sincerity first. If the Gongshu Family refused, they would be too narrow-minded.
"The Mohist Family believes in the reputation of the Gongshu Family, and the Gongshu Family believes in the reputation of the Mohist Family. If the Gongshu Family can design the safest vault for the Mohist Family, it will become a legend. In the future, when the nobles want to build a secret chamber, they will think of the Gongshu Family first. This will be a precious opportunity for the Gongshu Family." Gongshu Hong was suddenly enlightened. Compared to the risk, the possible profit of the Gongshu Family was much greater. Gongshu Hong was tempted.
The Gongshu Family was unique in the secret chamber. If they could use the vault of the Mohist Family to make a name for themselves, the Gongshu Family would have a unique business and establish themselves in Chang 'an City.
"Okay, then the Gongshu Family will take the risk. We will send a congratulatory note to Mo Jiazi and tell the Mohist Family that we will accept this order," Gongshu Lun said fiercely. The Gongshu Family members nodded.
