The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.
Chapter 445 Seeking Praise
Su Qianqian invited several meritorious officials to dinner, and after the meal, she took out a cup.
Everyone looked on in surprise.
Good heavens, it's a crystal clear glass cup!
Sunlight streamed through the window and shone on the glass, refracting a rainbow of colors that dazzled everyone's eyes.
You absolutely cannot find another cup like this anywhere else in the world; it can be considered priceless.
Qin Changfeng exclaimed, "Your Majesty has a transparent cup in your hand, made of crystal. It is a family heirloom of the Great Qi royal family. When the envoy from Nanyue came to the capital that year, Your Majesty showed it to the public. The transparent cup in front of you is even more amazing than the royal family's crystal cup."
Dong Zhu asked curiously, "General Su, where did you find this cup?"
"I made it myself."
Because a glass-making master came to Qinghe County to seek refuge, Su Qianqian wanted to follow the master to make glass.
The windows in Daqi are usually covered with paper, which has poor light transmission, making the rooms very dark.
Although Gong Yu had colorful glass inlaid in her room, the lighting wasn't very good.
Su Qianqian missed the transparent glass window from before she traveled through time, which is why she followed a glass-making master to learn the craft and make transparent glass herself.
The reason why Daqi does not produce glass products is that glassmaking requires very high temperatures, close to 2,000 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, this dynasty only produced glass products of various colors, and they were very expensive.
However, Su Qianqian added wood ash and lime powder to the material to lower the melting point, so it only needed to be heated to about 1,000 degrees Celsius.
This temperature is still easy to reach.
The glass on the table is the seventh one fired. The previous six were poorly shaped and contained impurities due to a lack of experience.
Wang Changxu and the others were extremely surprised to hear that it was made by Miss Su herself.
Miss Su is indeed a favorite of Heaven, capable of creating such rare and precious treasures! How can one person possess so many talents!
He was skilled in both civil administration and military affairs, capable of governing the people and protecting the country, making even men like them feel inferior.
Hu Pingfan's eyes lit up when he saw several similar glass cups in the basket under the table. "General Su, these are also glass products in the basket. There are so many!"
"Oh, these are the burnt-out scraps. I'm going to throw them away."
Dong Zhu exclaimed, "General Su actually calls such a rare treasure 'junk'? And he's even going to throw it away? What a waste!"
Rather than throwing it away, we might as well let a few of them benefit.
Several people quickly reached out to grab it.
Give me one.
"I want one too."
Qin Changfeng held the irregularly shaped glass in his hands as if it were a treasure, looking at it again and again.
"I'll send it to my grandfather. He'll be overjoyed. We can use it to raise funds for charity and definitely raise a lot of money to help many veterans and disabled soldiers."
Five days later, the Marquis of Guiping's residence received the glass cups, and two of them at once.
Marquis Guiping was overjoyed. If it hadn't been dark by the time the glass was delivered to his residence, he would have definitely taken it to the street to show it off.
Marquis Guiping was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, repeatedly instructing his wife, "These two glass cups must not be put into the storeroom; I need them tomorrow morning."
Lady Guiping knew the Marquis's temperament best and was sure she would show it off.
Every time Qian Yatou gave him something nice, he would show it off to everyone.
Lady Hou was right. The next day, Marquis Guiping got up early, changed into his court robes, and went to attend the morning court session. He was quite enthusiastic and was the first to arrive at the palace gate.
Since his son and future daughter-in-law went to Qinghe County, Marquis Guiping has not attended the morning court for many days.
The two glasses that Su Qianqian delivered to the Marquis of Guiping's residence both had handles.
Marquis Guiping held one in each hand and stood at the brightest spot at the palace gate.
Many officials who were going to attend the morning court session arrived one after another, but it was not yet time for the palace gates to open.
It was still dark at this time, and beautiful red lanterns hung at the palace gate, their light illuminating the cup in Guiping Hou's hand with a dazzling luster.
Marquis Guiping would change his posture every now and then, determined to present the most beautiful side of the glass cup in his hand.
Lord Xue was a shrewd man. He could tell from the Marquis Guiping's expression that he was seeking praise, so he quickly stepped forward and exclaimed, "Your Excellency, this cup is absolutely beautiful, truly a rare find in the world."
Marquis Guiping raised his chin exceptionally high, "This is made of glass. My future daughter-in-law specially had it sent to me in the capital."
Actually, it was given to the Marquis's mansion, and the Marquis's wife also received a share, but the Marquis said it was given to him, so naturally it was given to him, and no one would refute him, nor would anyone dare to refute him.
Ordinary glass products are colored and contain impurities, but the one in Lord Ping's possession was extremely transparent.
Scarcity increases value, and everyone gathered around Marquis Guiping to see what was so special about him.
"This is truly amazing. There are such clear and transparent glass products in the world. This is absolutely priceless."
"My lord, Miss Su must have gone to great lengths to find you. You have such a wonderful future daughter-in-law; it's truly enviable."
Vice Minister Luo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
If he had recognized that granddaughter back then, this gift might have been his.
But now he didn't even have the courage to take a closer look, because Marquis Guiping was known for his bad temper. He had been beaten by the Marquis many times and had long since learned his lesson.
After the palace gates opened, the ministers entered Xuanwu Hall one after another.
The Xuanwu Hall was brightly lit.
The emperor saw that the object being carried by Marquis Guiping reflected the lamplight and was particularly dazzling.
He personally descended from the high dragon throne to take a closer look, only to discover that they were two transparent glass cups, far more transparent than his crystal cup. These were definitely rare treasures.
Even the emperor couldn't possess such treasures, yet the Marquis of Guiping obtained two of them at once! He felt somewhat resentful.
Emperor Qi Jing reached out to take the cup, wanting to experience its feel.
But Marquis Guiping wouldn't let go, holding both cups tightly in his hands.
"Your Majesty, this is my personal item. You may only look at it from afar, not touch it. Please don't damage it. My daughter-in-law made it for me herself."
The ministers had always assumed that Miss Su had gone to great lengths to buy and send the item to the capital, but they never expected that it was actually made by Miss Su herself.
Good heavens, the person who can make such an exquisite glass cup will surely become incredibly wealthy in the future.
Minister Luo thought to himself, "Too much intelligence leads to an early death! Just wait and see, that little girl won't be around for long."
Even if God doesn't take her, the Grand Preceptor of the Southern Yue Kingdom will!
Emperor Qi Jing was quite depressed, and his face looked very unpleasant.
Miss Su is such a skilled warrior, yet she can also create flawless, transparent glass cups. She'll definitely make a lot of money in the future.
Money and power are inseparable.
In the future, Miss Su will definitely become his biggest threat.
Although he found attending the morning court session every day quite tiring, he did not want anyone to usurp his throne.
