Chapter 31 The Broken Mirror Reunite 3

When the merchant saw Pharmacist Li approaching, he looked very warm and asked, "Master, have you seen Xu Daoye's bronze mirror?"

Pharmacist Li said: "I saw it. As the shopkeeper said, Mr. Xu asked too high a price and I am unable to purchase it."

He vaguely understood in his heart that the reason why Xu Hongke took him into "Qingming" and let him see the ancient mirror was mainly to induce him to take out Princess Lechang's half of the bronze mirror.

In this East Market, he did not want to talk more about Xu Hongke.

The merchant turned to the ragged man and said: "Dear guest, please see, even this young master said that he is unable to purchase Xu Daoye's bronze mirror, so why should our guest waste his efforts?"

Although the merchant managed to maintain a smile, his tone was far less warm than when he spoke to Pharmacist Li, and the word "distinguished guest" in his mouth also seemed harsh.

The man turned to Li Yaoshi and asked, "Can I ask this young master what the bronze mirror of Xu Daoye looks like?"

There is a southern sound in the intonation.

Pharmacist Li saw that the man was in the prime of his life, but he had a desolate and vicissitudes of appearance; he was tall and tall, but his appearance was hard to avoid.

However, for some unknown reason, Pharmacist Li, who had a handsome appearance and a rich spirit, felt faintly ashamed of himself when facing this desolate man with a broken body.

He knew in his heart that the person in front of him must be Xu Deyan.

So he replied: "That is an extremely ancient precious mirror. The back of the mirror is carved with ancient elegance and simplicity, with unicorns, four elephants, eight trigrams and other objects."

Xu Deyan was obviously very disappointed, but still asked: "Is that a complete bronze mirror?"

Pharmacist Li replied: "Yes."

He became stubborn and asked: "Do you actually prefer incomplete bronze mirrors?"

Xu Deyan said hurriedly: "No, of course not."

He thought about it and added: "However, if it is a treasure mirror with excellent workmanship, even if it is damaged, it is still a treasure."

Li Yaoshi smiled and said: "The next day, I happened to find a half-broken bronze mirror on the bank of the Wei River. But I don't know if the workmanship of this mirror is good. Would you like to take a look?"

When Xu Deyan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Half a bronze mirror? Can you let me take a look at it?"

Pharmacist Li said: "If that's the case, please follow me to the next line."

Xu Deyan followed Li Yaoshi out of Dongshi and came to a quiet place. Li Yaoshi took out Princess Lechang's half of the bronze mirror.

He quietly inspected the back of the mirror and saw that the broken-feathered magpie had returned to its original place, so he handed the bronze mirror to Xu Deyan.

When Xu Deyan saw the bronze mirror, he was extremely excited. His hands holding the mirror were trembling, and he asked: "Isn't this half of the bronze mirror a young master who found it on the shore of the Weishui River?"

Li Yaoshi nodded and said: "It was found in the grass on the bank of the Weishui River under the shade of willows."

When Xu Deyan heard this, he only thought that Princess Lechang had lost her bronze mirror and that he would never be able to find his beloved wife with the bronze mirror in his life. He burst into tears and shouted hoarsely: "I'm so tired... what should I do if I'm so tired?"

He took out the half of the bronze mirror beside him and put the two halves together.

The two halves of the bronze mirror reflect the bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the broken lines on the mirror are as thin as hair.

Xu Deyan lost his soul and looked up to the sky and sang sadly:

The mirror goes away with everyone

The mirror returns but the person does not return

Chang'e's shadow is gone

The bright moon shines in the sky

Seeing how miserable Xu Deyan was, Li Yaoshi couldn't bear to treat him with such stubbornness. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Xu Consort, why bother making such a sad sound?"

When Xu Deyan heard the words "Xu Consort", he was suddenly shocked: "You, what did you say?"

At this time, Pharmacist Li bowed his head and saluted: "My junior, Pharmacist Li Miyuan, has met Xu's consort."

Xu Deyan calmed down, and after a quick thought, he realized that Pharmacist Li must be the one entrusted by his beloved wife to come to the market to sell mirrors.

Although he was very excited at this time, he still did not forget to return the gift, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Lechang...is she okay?"

When Li Yaoshi saw Xu Deyan, he did not ask where his beloved wife was, but first asked about her current situation. Obviously, for him, whether Princess Lechang was well was more important than whether the couple could meet.

Li Yaoshi was moved and replied: "Princess Lechang is very well."

He already had a good impression of Xu Deyan, but he just wished it was inconvenient to explain the words "very peaceful" in detail.

He continued: "The princess is currently staying in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue. Will the consort go to meet her right now?"

Xu Deyan actually seemed a little timid: "Now...are we going to meet each other?"

Medicine Master Li thought of Xu Deyan's ragged clothes, and laughed loudly: "If you don't want to give up, you might as well go and sit under the loft for a while. I wonder if this junior has such an honor and can invite the consort?"

Seeing that Xu Deyan was still hesitant, he laughed and pulled him home.

Pharmacist Li has a wide range of contacts on a daily basis. His family did not take him at all when he came back with a stranger in ragged clothes.

Pharmacist Li made tea to entertain the guests, and invited Xu Deyan to take a bath and change clothes.

He liked white clothes, but he was afraid that the white clothes would make Xu Deyan's complexion look less plump, so he went to borrow a blue shirt from Li Yaowang.

When Xu Deyan came out of the inner room again, he was already a handsome and elegant young man.

At this time, the red sun was setting in the west and the bright moon was rising. Li Yaoshi led Xu Deyan to the Yue Kingdom Palace. He first informed Yang Xuanqing and then asked to see Yang Su.

Yang Su listened to Li Yaoshi declare his intention. He sat on the Taishi chair, tapped the armrest of the Taishi chair with one hand, and twirled his beard with the other. He was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Physician, how did you contact the inner government about selling mirrors to find people?"

information?"

Just as Pharmacist Li was having trouble answering, Yang Xuanqing stepped forward and knelt down: "Dad, it turns out that the child was the one delivering the message."

Pharmacist Li also came forward and knelt down, saying: "Master Yang, it was this junior who begged me repeatedly, so the Fourth Young Master reluctantly agreed. Please allow this junior to bear all the blame alone."

Yang Su sneered: "You two are really friends!"

His face was ashen, and he was twirling his long beard with his hands while thinking about how to deal with the matter.

Yang Su knew in her heart that if she did not allow Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan to reunite, let everyone in the hall complain about trivial matters, and let Mrs. Zheng use the topic as an excuse, there would be no end.

If Yang Xuanqing was punished for this matter, Mrs. Zheng didn't know how many arguments she would have.

If we blame Pharmacist Li but do not punish Yang Xuanqing, it would be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.

Now that things have come to a point, it is better to be a favor and make everyone happy, even Han Qinhu has to accept the favor.

Anyway, there is Mrs. Zheng in the house, so I can't even think of taking advantage of Princess Lechang.

Pharmacist Li was kneeling on the ground, but Yang Su couldn't see his expression.

I could only see him twirling his beard with one hand, while the other hand first grasped the armrest of the Taishi chair tightly, exposing the veins; then gradually stretched out his five fingers, and finally the whole arm relaxed.

Pharmacist Li knew that Yang Su had made a decision.

Yang Su's mind was made up, and his expression softened a lot: "Both of you, get up!"

Yang Xuanqing and Medicine Master Li stood up to worship again.

Yang Su immediately ordered someone to call Princess Lechang out.

When Xu Deyan heard this, his eyes immediately became wet, his palms became sweaty, his heart felt uneasy, and his legs trembled slightly.
