Chapter 1248 - 157 Conceal the Secret
In an era where the only way to see your own image was through a bronze mirror and guessing was the only method to know your appearance, Lin Yuan’s mirror was truly an oddity. To keep it a secret from more people, Lin Yuan only allowed Xia Zheng and Lin Yi to follow her into the cellar to see the final product.
Lin Yi followed her in purely because Xia Zheng alone couldn’t flip over the heavy, three-foot-wide piece of Glaze. However, unexpectedly, Lin Yi, who always had a stiff face, was greatly startled by this.
Carefully, they lifted the mirror from the table and put it back on the table lined with thick quilts. The entire action was finished in just a few moments.
"Whew, why is it so heavy? My handsome arm is almost cramping... Uh!" Xia Zheng merely glanced at the smooth mirror on the table casually and his words got stuck in his throat and wouldn’t come out.
Just as Lin Yi, who was about to turn away after setting down the mirror, grew curious and looked back, his foot instantly froze, leaving him in a strange and comical pose.
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with their reactions. This was exactly the effect she wanted; otherwise, the mirror she had worked so hard to create would be too undervalued.
"How about it? Now you finally admit I wasn’t exaggerating, right?" Lin Yuan gloated as she leaned towards the mirror, and indeed, she saw her own lovely little face, bright eyes, and even the small pimple that had appeared on her forehead recently because of anxiety was clearly visible.
As she lowered her head and squeezed the ripe pimple with her fingers, she murmured, "Now you know why I was so anxious about these pieces of Glaze, right? Hey, hey, hey, mainly because my creation is just too precious. If it ends up in the hands of others, they would certainly take all my... Hey! What are you two doing! Don’t push me, ouch, I haven’t finished looking in the mirror yet!"
Massaging her arm and shoulder, which were a little sore from being squeezed by Lin Yi, Lin Yuan watched with a look of resentment as Xia Zheng and his servant struck poses in front of the mirror.
