Qin Hanzhen didn't know anything about what was happening in her porter's house, and she was still discussing the pair of glasses with her grandfather and grandmother with great interest. She participated in the "exploration" www.biquge.info and soon helped her grandmother find a way to wear glasses.

Niu Shi wore glasses and looked around the room, only to feel that it was extremely fresh: "Sure enough, I can see it very clearly! Since I fell ill, my eyes have become more and more useless, and I don't feel it when I am sick. Fortunately, Sister Sang'er's handwriting is big, otherwise I would have been blind. Now that I wear these glasses, my eyes are as good as ever. It's hard for Wang Fuzhong to get this thing for us. ”

Qin Hanzhen heard this, and thought: Grandmother's eyesight declined, maybe it was because she was too sad after losing her son and cried her eyes, right? Of course, it could also be caused by her illness. With this pair of glasses, it can be regarded as a crooked solution to her troubles. But I don't know what the prescription of this pair of glasses is obviously reading glasses, whether it is suitable for my grandmother? But don't wear glasses that don't match the prescription, and your eyesight is getting worse and worse.

Thinking like this, Qin Hanzhen pretended to be curious, and said to the Niu family: "Grandmother, I also want to wear it for fun, let me try it." ”

Niu took off his glasses happily: "Okay, you try." But your nose is small and not high enough, and you don't know if you can clamp it tightly. ”

Qin Hanzhen laughed dryly, took the glasses, and pretended to try them on - naturally she couldn't wear them, these were glasses made according to the size of an adult's head, if she really wanted to wear them, she couldn't take care of the nose frame in front, but she couldn't take care of the silk rope in the back, and the nose frame in front couldn't be stabilized, so she had to give up. However, she took the opportunity to look at the glasses up close, and took a closer look at the two lenses, wanting to see the thickness of the two convex lenses, who knew that the more she looked at them, the more strange she felt.

She hesitated for a moment and looked at Old Mr. Qin: "Grandfather, this ...... Is it really made of crystal?" and how did she think it was glass? The first time she saw these glasses, she thought they were glass. But Uncle Tiger said that it was a crystal mirror, so she didn't say anything. But now that she looked closely, she still thought it was made of glass. Ancient craftsmen polished crystal flakes that seem to ...... It's not like that.

Old Mr. Qin smiled slightly: "Why do you think so? If this is not made of crystal, then what will it be?"

Qin Hanzhen's face was embarrassed. She wanted to answer straight to glass, but ...... It doesn't seem to be the era of glass, how can she explain how she, a seven-year-old girl who lives on the outskirts of a small county town in the northwest frontier region, knows about such a thing?

Niu Shi saw his granddaughter's expression, but when she couldn't say it, he said to Mr. Qin: "Where have you seen any crystal mirrors Sister Sang? But I have a crystal bracelet, which you bought for me when we went to Suidezhou City that year." The bracelet was crystal clear, but there were many white flocculents in it, like mist. Sister Sang must have seen me wear that bracelet, and felt that this mirror was faintly turquoise, which was different from that bracelet, so she would say that it was not made of crystal, right?"

Old Mr. Qin smiled and asked his granddaughter, "Is that what Sister Sang thinks?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled dryly and nodded. What else could she say at this time? I could only follow my grandmother's tone and accept the excuses she had given herself.

Mr. Qin smiled and took the glasses, looked at them a few times, and then said, "This is indeed not crystal, but glass." I've heard people mention that this thing is a top-secret recipe unique to the royal family, and it is not allowed to be leaked, and I don't know how it was burned. When I was young, I saw plates made of glass, which were made of crystal and were very beautiful, but I heard that they were not easy to burn, and even in the Imperial Palace, there were only a few dozen pieces. I didn't expect that thirty years later, this thing can already be used in glasses, and it is not a rare thing. ”

Niu Shi hurriedly asked: "How do you know that this is not a rare thing? Didn't Fang Cai Mohu say that these glasses are something that can only be used by high-ranking officials and nobles?"

Mr. Qin said with a smile: "He was in the capital nearly thirty years ago, how can he know the current market? Thirty years ago, this thing could only be made of crystal or mica, and it was not easy to make, so naturally only high-ranking officials and nobles could use it." But now that it can be made of glass, it must have become very common, right? If it is really a rare thing, you dare to send it to our house as a New Year's gift? He is a small Hanlin, no matter how beautiful he is in the capital, the grade is placed there, and he can get a few pairs of crystal glasses? If he really has it, he will first honor his own relatives before it can be my turn as a teacher. And the New Year's goods were sent by the Wang family. After passing through their hands, if it is really an extremely rare object, you will not have anything to say as a member of the Wang family?"

Niu muttered in a low voice, "This may not be. As you just said, when you were young, this kind of glass was also a rare thing, and there were not even a few pieces in the palace, so wouldn't it be more precious than crystal? Crystal, a few ornaments in a small family like ours, is much more common than glass. ”

Old Mr. Qin smiled lightly.

Qin Han was moved in his heart, and secretly thought that his grandfather also knew that this was something that was burned out of sand, and the cost was very low?

While he was talking, Uncle Tiger returned. After entering the warm pavilion, he hesitated and stood there for a long time without speaking.

Mama Hu, who had just packed up the New Year's goods sent by the Wang family, came in from the outside, and when she saw her husband stunned, she pushed him: "What's wrong with you? ”

Old Mr. Qin looked over: "What's the matter? But who are the old people in the capital?"

Hu Bo period Ai Ai said: "Yes...... It's a golden elephant. ”

Qin Han was really confused, what is the "Golden Elephant"? Thai fragrant rice?

Who knew that Old Mr. Qin was stunned: "How could it be him, what is he doing?"

Uncle Tiger sighed: "He seems to be developed now, dressed decently, and came in a carriage with his retinue." When you enter the door, you come to look for me, but in fact, you are just afraid that you will go directly to the master, and you will eat the closed door. ”

Old Mr. Qin frowned when he saw that he didn't get to the point: "What is he here for?"

Uncle Hu was helpless, so he replied: "He said...... It was ordered by the Marquis of Cheng Enhou and his wife to invite the lord and wife back to Beijing. He also said that at the beginning of the year, Cheng Enhou fell seriously ill and almost died, and after he recovered from his illness, he began to think back to the past and regretted what he had done back then. He wants to invite the master back, the brothers are reconciled, and the family is reunited. ”

"I'm sorry!" Niu Shi took a sip and sneered, "He also has the face to say such things! Back then, did he think about brothers? Can he think about reuniting his family? Without our husband and wife, he would have died in the northwest long ago, and before he turned over, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and there was no one more ruthless and unrighteous than him." Now that he says he's sorry, we're going to go back?

Qin Hanzhen was stunned when she heard this, except for the matter of the He family, she had never seen her grandmother cow make such a big fire. And...... The title of Marquis of Cheng'en should be given to relatives, right? In this way, my grandfather's background is not small. Could it be ...... He's also a relative?

Mr. Qin was silent, and Niu was a little anxious when he saw this, and pushed him: "Why don't you speak? Could it be that you are soft-hearted and really want to go back to the capital, right? Ignore your brother's words, he wants to drive us away, we will leave, he wants us to go back, we will go back." What did he think of us? You live a good life here, and everyone in the county knows us and respects you. When something is shouted, someone comes to help. But if we go to the capital, who will recognize you? At that time, we will really fall into the hands of your unconscionable brother!"

Seeing that his wife was in a hurry, Mr. Qin said, "I don't really want to go back, but I'm just a little worried when I heard that he is sick." Mohu, you bring the golden elephant here, I want to ask a few words. Seeing that Niu was anxious and wanted to say something, he interrupted, "Even if you don't ask how the eldest brother is, you must always care about the nephew's situation." Niu was silent.

Uncle Tiger soon took the man named "Golden Elephant" to the main house of the upper courtyard. Of course, Old Mr. Qin would not see him in the warm pavilion, but went to the main hall outside. Niu was still sulking, sitting cross-legged on the kang and not speaking.

In winter, the door curtains are made of thick felt, which not only blocks the wind but also keeps warm, but Qin Hanzhen sits on the kang in the inner house, so he can't see the situation outside, and can only hear what the people outside say. She listened intently, trying to figure out what her grandfather was all about.

When the golden elephant entered the door, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mr. Qin in tears: "The little one has seen the third master." After nearly 30 years of separation, the little one never thought that he would be able to see you one day. The little sin is so heavy that he doesn't dare to ask for forgiveness from the third master, but only asks the third master for mercy. It's not that the little one didn't want to follow you, but the little one still has his parents and brothers in the house, and he really can't go. But the little one also knows that he has done something wrong, and now that he sees you, he has nothing else to say except to ask for sin. ”

Old Mr. Qin sighed: "It's all old, what are you doing here?" ”

The golden elephant cried and refused to get up: "Third master, the little one knows that you are wronged, but ...... For the sake of brotherhood, for the sake of the queen's mother, and for the sake of the old man, go back to Beijing. Three brothers, now only you and Hou Ye are left. This year has passed, and Hou Ye's health is not good. If you don't get together more while you can still meet now, in a few years, I'm afraid it will be too late. Does the third master really not want to be with his relatives again?"

Old Mr. Qin was slightly moved.

Seeing this, Jin Xiang knew that there was a door, and hurriedly added: "Moreover, Fourth Master Ping is alone in Beijing, and he doesn't even have a personal attendant, which is too pitiful." You just feel sorry for your son, and it's good to go to Beijing to take care of it!"

Old Mr. Qin and the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen in the back room were all stunned for a moment. The former's face suddenly changed: "Who are you talking about?!" Uncle Tiger also added: "Which Ping Fourth Master are you talking about?"

The golden elephant was stunned for a moment: "This ...... Naturally, he is the eldest son of the third master, the fourth master?"
