The Awakening of Cannon Fodder

He Yu decided to let Tang Roujia toss around for a while, and if necessary, he could also artificially set up obstacles for her.Although I feel sorry for Chen Yulan, she probably doesn't care.

It's unbelievable to think about delaying one's own progress because of characters in the quest world.

But even if He Yu is not a promise, she is definitely not a person who does not keep her word, not to mention that Jiang Bai is... different from others.

In the end, He Yu went out alone.

Although temples and Taoist temples are far away places, the truly elegant people naturally live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers, and study Taoism and Buddhist scriptures.But after all, they are still in the world of mortals. Many Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the capital are located in the bustling city, blending with the bustling and lively, making it easier to attract pilgrims.Some of them are even family temples and private temples of powerful families.

The rest is somewhere in between. They don't have enough reputation, nor can they win the land in the capital.

Xuanji Temple is such a temple.

Incense is naturally available, but it is not very prosperous, and most of them are villagers living nearby. Few of the important people in Beijing rush here to offer incense and worship Buddha.

Tang Roujia deliberately moved to the Zhuangzi near Xuanji Temple, and chose a day to go up to the mountain to worship the Buddha. Of course, it was not because of how devout she was to the Bodhisattva, but because she had some other purpose.He Yu followed her, seeing that she dismissed the Zhike monk after entering the door, and walked to the back of the temple with ease, her heart became more certain.

The Buddhist gate is clean, and the place behind it is even more secluded.After Tang Roujia walked for a while, she came to a small courtyard with beautiful architecture.

She stood outside the door for a while before raising her hand to knock on the door.The person who came to answer the door was a middle-aged woman dressed as a monk. She looked kind and gentle, as calm as water.Tang Roujia claimed to have lost her way, and came here unknowingly, wanting to ask for a glass of water.

She was covered with sweat all the way, and it looked like this. The lay woman nodded slightly, but she didn't invite her into the room, but asked her to wait at the door, and turned around to bring a bowl of water.He Yu could see clearly that after the other party left, Tang Roujia looked anxious and annoyed. It was obvious that this development did not match her plan.

Mental power is infinitely useful, and it is naturally not difficult for He Yu to figure out the identity of this person.After Tang Roujia drank the water and reluctantly left, she waited for a while until the little monk who came to deliver the food, and then learned the identity of the female layman from the other party.

Very surprising.

Her husband's family name is Zhan, who happened to be General Zhan Haiqing's mother.

Why did the family members of a rich family become monks and practice, and why they didn't choose a famous temple in central Beijing but stayed in such an inconspicuous place as Xuanji Temple, He Yu didn't care.But Tang Roujia came looking for her, which meant that she might have something to do with that jade pendant.

Thinking about what Jiang Bai said that Zhan Haiqing's family had already arranged a marriage for him and exchanged tokens, that fiancee must be Chen Yulan, right?

If this was the case, it would make sense for Tang Roujia to say that Chen Yulan had a good life and be jealous of her in every possible way.

It should be that Chen Yulan was finally found and picked up from the Antaihou Mansion.Zhan's family is Gao Yi, and he wants to treat her well.Originally, the two were sick and sympathetic and kept each other company in the small Buddhist hall, but Chen Yulan left that dirty place to live a better life, Tang Roujia couldn't help being jealous.

And Tang Roujia took the jade pendant, could it be that she wanted to pretend to be Chen Yulan?

What she wants most now is Heli, but things have been deadlocked because there is no strong support.If General Zhan, who is rich and powerful, is willing to stand up for her, then the confidence will be much greater.

But then again, this is not a drama, and identification of a person cannot be based on a jade pendant alone.Tang Roujia herself has a background, and Chen Yulan's conditions are not on par with Chen Yulan's in all aspects, and Zhan Haiqing is not stupid, can she really be fooled by her so easily?

Thinking about it this way, He Yu was not too worried.

It seems that it will take quite a while for Tang Roujia to get close to Zhan Haiqing through Mrs. Zhan.It was enough for her to arrange other things properly.Waiting for the critical moment to deal with Tang Roujia, maybe the effect will be better.

Never seeing hope, and the disappointment after hope is close at hand, it is obviously the latter that tortures people more.

……

Jiang Bai was more powerful than He Yu thought. At General Zhan Haiqing's dust-cleaning banquet, the emperor not only took out that set of glassware for use, but also gave it to General Zhan, who was attracting everyone's attention, which made everyone envious. .

As the saying goes, if the emperor does not reward him, the Beijing, Chinese, military officials, kings and grandchildren will inevitably buy a set and put it at home.

And at this moment, everyone in Dongcheng knew that a shop affiliated to the Inner Palace had been refurbished and reopened, selling glass products.The rich and powerful in the capital scrambled to buy it, earning a lot of money for a while, but no one dared to imitate it and take a share of it.

Of course, this may also be because their imitation process is not up to standard at all, and the fired glass is always flawed, not so transparent and flawless, and has no market competitiveness at all.

And after He Yu handed over the business to Sister Tong, she devoted herself to the research of Silver Mirror.

Today's glass firing is done by blowing or pressing the liquid glass into different shapes after it has cooled and condensed, but mirrors need to use flat glass without any unevenness, and the raw materials for silver mirrors have to be specially prepared, which naturally takes more effort.

When she burned out a satisfactory mirror, the Queen's Qianqiu Festival was just around the corner.

During this time, Jiang Bai wrote her a letter asking when her surprise would be ready, but He Yu dismissed it.As for Tang Roujia, she approached Mrs. Zhan silently, and gained her love. Now she goes to Xuanji Temple almost every day to accompany her.During this process, I met Zhan Haiqing once or twice, but I didn't have any in-depth contact.

So when He Yu came to the Princess Mansion carrying a "wooden board", Jiang Bai glanced at the thing she was carrying, and couldn't help asking, "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"

"This is an appetizer." He Yu smiled and put down the shelf in her hand.

Jiang Baiping retreated from the crowd and came over, standing side by side with her, "What is this?"

"Empress Qianqiu, I wonder if the princess has prepared a birthday gift?" He Yu asked.

Jiang Bai nodded, "It's natural." She has no father or mother, and her grandparents are the last support. Compared with the grandfather who is an emperor, the queen, the grandmother, is naturally more kind and loves her more without any scruples .For her old man's birthday, Jiang Bai's gifts have been looking for since the beginning of the year.

But birthdays are celebrated every year, and it is not easy for this birthday gift to be outstanding.After all, almost everything that can be thought of has been delivered over the years.Even if she didn't give it away, someone else did, so it's hard to find something new.

So this year Jiang Bai prepared a volume of Buddhist scriptures embroidered by himself, embroidered with gold and silver threads, shining brightly under the light, just in line with the saying that the Buddha's light shines everywhere.

But hearing He Yu's question, she couldn't help but take a closer look at the things on the ground, "Why, did you prepare a birthday gift for me?"

"That's right." He Yu took apart the outer wooden frame twice, and a mirror with the height and width of an ordinary person appeared in front of their eyes.The image in the mirror was very clear, and every detail of the person could be seen clearly. When Jiang Bai saw it suddenly, he was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but took a step back.

"This is... a mirror?" She quickly came back to her senses, looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of her with bright eyes, and couldn't help but get closer to observe herself in the mirror carefully.

"It's a glass mirror, with silver plating on the back." He Yu said, "It's much clearer than ordinary bronze mirrors and glazed mirrors. What's more, it's big enough to reflect the whole body in. This mirror is used to be the empress. Your birthday gift, isn't it humiliating?"

"You..." Jiang Bai didn't answer her question, but shook his head lightly, "I almost believe that you are really a fairy descended from heaven."

Otherwise, how can such a good thing come out?

Her hand was attached to the cold mirror, and she lightly touched the reflection in the mirror. Her fingertips had a smooth touch without any stagnation, which made people linger.But this gaffe only lasted for a moment, she quickly withdrew her hand and asked He Yu, "How long will it take to make a mirror like this?"

"Soon." He Yu said, "If I can make the first mirror, there will naturally be more. But I don't plan to make such a big mirror again." She said as she took out a small round mirror and handed it to Jiang Bai, "Like this A palm-sized small mirror that can be carried around and check makeup and hair accessories at any time will be more popular."

There are more people who can afford it.

People in this era love beauty, both men and women will apply makeup, powder, hairpins and jade, and the market for small portable mirrors is immeasurable.

As for the full-length mirror, it is enough to keep one side in the palace.

Jiang Bai took the mirror in her hand. Although it was only the size of a palm, the workmanship of this mirror could not be too fine.It looks like a small flat box on the outside, made of silver, with two half-opened peonies carved on the front, a bluegrass on the back, and other parts stitched together with flower patterns.One end is tied with a slender chain, which can be hung on the body.The other end is a buckle, and when you open it, you will see a smooth glass mirror, which is very delicate and hard to put down.

Jiang Bai stroked the broken hair on his temples in front of the mirror, and asked casually, "Is this little mirror for me, or just show it to me?"

"Of course it's for you." He Yu said, "I can't even afford to give this little thing. What's more, the trend in this capital city should naturally be led by you, Princess Jieyou, who is very beloved by His Majesty."

"Oh... After all, there is still another purpose." Jiang Bai said with some resentment, "We haven't seen each other for three months, so we only have business when we meet?"

He Yu: "..."

She didn't know what to say for a while, and she always felt that Jiang Bai's attitude was a little weird.But Jiang Bai didn't continue to pursue it. After saying this, he changed the topic, "You just said that this is just an appetizer?"
