“Dear heavens, Your Highness—is this really me?!”
A voice rang out as Lu Tong’s slightly grubby face appeared in the mirror’s reflection.
Even bronze mirrors were considered a luxury in the Great Yu Empire. Producing one required repeated polishing until it could reflect a passable image, making them far too expensive for commoners to afford.
Most ordinary people never owned mirrors and could only catch vague glimpses of themselves in still water. The effect, of course, couldn’t compare to the shock of seeing oneself clearly in a glass mirror.
“Who else would it be? Look—there’s a booger hanging off your lip. You gonna wipe that or what?” Xiao Ming said.
“Where?!” Lu Tong grabbed the mirror and inspected himself more closely.
He picked at his nose and began making faces at the mirror—widening his eyes, raising his brows, totally immersed in amusement.
Behind him, the students had already grown impatient and began calling out, “Let me see! I want a look too!”
Overwhelmed by their demands, Lu Tong reluctantly handed the mirror to the next group.
The classroom instantly erupted. Students jostled for position, taking turns in front of the mirror, exclaiming things like, “Damn, I’m handsome!”, “You look awful!”, “Ugh—I forgot to wash my face!”
Watching the commotion, Xiao Ming allowed himself a smug smile. It was clear that this mirror would become the next sensational product in the empire—following in the footsteps of soap, Drunken Qingzhou wine, and perfume.
