Chapter 626 The silver mirror that is popular all over Kyoto! Give Kyoto a little shock(2/2)
Looking all over Kyoto, the only people who can use silver mirrors are talented people like Zi Yang. Their number is so rare that you can probably count them with two hands.
The geishas here are used to using bronze mirrors and have no specific concept of silver mirrors.
All I know is that this is a very beautiful mirror with high definition, and at the same time it is extremely expensive.
Therefore, the silver mirror in Ziyang's hand shocked them greatly.
Its appearance and clarity surpassed that of bronze mirrors by countless streets, and were even much clearer than the mirrors Ziyang had used before.
When they saw this silver mirror... it was no exaggeration to say that this was the first time they could see their own faces so clearly.
"Miss Ziyang, can you let us take a closer look at this mirror?"
Ziyang nodded lightly and generously lent it to them.
Geishas rushed to borrow it and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces in the mirror.
"So this is the legendary silver mirror...it's really clear!"
"Oops, I hate it! If you look closely, you can see that fine lines are starting to form in the corners of my eyes!"
"Huh? Looking at it this way, the left side of my face seems to look better."
"Well...I just realized now that there are so many red bloodshot eyes in my eyes..."
"My hair is so dull and has no luster at all..."
…
While everyone was enjoying themselves in the mirror, someone turned around and asked Ziyang curiously:
"Miss Ziyang, where did you buy such a beautiful mirror? It must be very expensive, right?"
Ziyang smiled slightly and replied:
"This is the mirror that Nioh-sama gave me as a gift. This mirror is not difficult to buy. The new dealer in Rensheng Township sells it!"
As soon as Ziyang finished speaking, the person who asked the question opened his eyes wide and asked hurriedly:
"The Shinsei Chamber of Commerce? Is it the Shinsei Chamber of Commerce that Nioh recently established?"
Ziyang nodded gently:
"That's right! It's the new chamber of commerce that Nioh-sama recently established!"
The geishas looked at each other, and they all saw strong shock on each other's faces.
"Did Nioh-sama's chamber of commerce originally sell mirrors?"
"I only know that Nioh-sama recently opened a new chamber of commerce, but I don't know what products it mainly sells."
"To be honest, this really surprised me. Nioh-sama's Chamber of Commerce can actually sell such a beautiful mirror..."
Ziyang's words continued:
“The mirrors from Xinsheng Chamber of Commerce are not only beautiful, but also very cheap!”
Speaking of this, she smiled and held out two fingers.
“Such a beautiful mirror only costs 20 taels of gold~~”
"20 taels of gold?!"
The deafening scream... Even in the corridor outside the room, you can clearly hear the geisha's exclamations.
The reason why they scream is not because they think the price is too high, but... 20 taels of gold? So cheap?!
As far as they know, a silver mirror of this quality can be sold for at least 3,40 taels of gold!
Everyone was immersed in shock... Ziyang added a sentence at the right time.
"In addition to small mirrors as big as your palm, there are also large mirrors that are full-length."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent...
…
…
Recently, a large number of women - ranging from 6 to 70-year-olds to teenage girls - have been flooding into Gion.
There are also many men among them.
Most of the men who come to Gion are those who are very concerned about their appearance and those who rely on their reputation to make a living, such as kabuki actors and the male favorites of a certain family.
The reason why this is so is not complicated: they heard that the garden concubines, including Ziyang, collectively switched to a cheap and clear mirror.
Gion and Shimahara are the fashion trendsetters of Kyoto.
If a popular geisha or geisha changes her hairstyle or clothes, countless women will imitate her, let alone a "large-scale collective action" by geishas?
For those who love beauty, how can they not come to check the situation when there is such a big movement?
So, when they rushed to Gion, they immediately discovered that the rumors were true.
Looking up, you can often see geishas on the street taking out a small, delicate, and surprisingly clear mirror from their arms or belts very naturally.
"Wow!", "What is this?!", "Is this...me? Is this really my face?"...Screams similar to these spread throughout Gion. ’s streets and alleys.
Most of the people who faced the shining mirror in the hands of geisha would make such a cry.

Wenjiu three years (1863), March 27——
On this day, an influential tile dealer published a piece of news: The Shinsei Chamber of Commerce opened by "Nioh" Tachibana Aoshinobu was selling silver mirrors with astonishing clarity!
Specifically, the news has no substantive content.
Basically, it’s just a fancy way of touting the newly chosen chamber of commerce.
It is said to be "a mirror you have never seen before", and "the clarity is a hundred times better than a bronze mirror", and it is regarded as the pride of the Oriental people.
At the same time, another influential tile dealer published another piece of news with completely opposite content: the silver mirrors sold by the Xinxuan Chamber of Commerce were simply a piece of shit.
In this way, the two newspapers...ah, no, the two tile dealers started to quarrel with each other in the distance.
You said "Xinxuan Chamber of Commerce is awesome", I said "Xinxuan Chamber of Commerce is rubbish".
