Chapter 151: Eye Chart
Du Xiaoxi was glared at by Zhao Wen'er's resentful eyes, and shook her hand with a smile to signal that she would never see her again. Turning his head to look at Shang Mingrui, who had already set his eyes on the counter, he thanked him: "Thank you Lord Wang today!" I'll go to the house another day to say thank you! ”
Shang Mingrui thought of her sister who was alone at home, and said hello rarely.
"My brothers and I still have something to do, so I'll go back to my brother's house first, thank you so much today!" After Du Xiaoxi thanked him repeatedly, Du Liu and Du Ba also thanked him, and the three of them said goodbye and left.
Du Ba threw Zhao Sheng, who was still knocked unconscious, on the wheel, sat next to him with a horsewhip and waved it, and drove the car back to the Nine Emperors' Mansion.
The tuk tuk carriage rushed in the middle of the road, and the crowd on the side of the road dispersed to both sides, Du Ba shouted to the sister and brother in the car: "Look! I'll just say I'm much better at driving than he is! When our old mule can't walk, let my father buy a horse! That's how refreshing! ”
Zhao Sheng, who woke up in a daze, heard that his professional level was disgusted again, and continued to pretend to be dead on his stomach silently.
When they arrived at the side gate of the Nine Emperors' Mansion, the guards guarding the door were very surprised when they saw Zhao Sheng, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and Zhao Sheng drove the carriage towards the stable with a wry smile.
Du Xiaoxi comforted the two elder brothers, and then directly called a girl and took him to the main courtyard.
Today, I am acting outside in the name of my senior brother, and I have to talk to my senior brother about anything.
Zhao Sheng's nose and swollen face naturally couldn't hide it when he came back, and the steward below had already reported what they encountered today to Mu He.
When Mu He heard Du Xiaoxi begging to see him, he was even more satisfied with His Royal Highness's junior sister, not a woman who hid her guts and had no courage.
Du Xiaoxi told the story of what happened today, and after making sure that it would not cause trouble to the senior brother, he dragged his tired steps to the residence.
After dinner, Du Xiaoxi, who went to the outer courtyard to see his brothers, heard that his senior brother was back, and after a pause, he planned to go to his senior brother to talk about glasses.
"Mama Qing, is my senior brother here?"
Seeing that Du Xiaoxi was almost at night and came over, Mama Qing, who had already put her mind at ease, mentioned it again in her heart, but still smiled kindly: "Your Highness is in the study, if Mrs. Du has nothing important, please talk about it tomorrow!" ”
"I have something to tell my brother. It is an object that allows short-sighted people to see things clearly, and my sister-in-law can also come and see it if she is interested. Mama, do you have good eyes? If it's not good, you can just help us try the effect! ”
Mama Qing "......"
Mama Qing looked at Du Xiaoxi's sincere smile and thought that this girl was definitely intentional!
"No need. The old slave's eyes are very good. ”
"Oh! Then I'll go find my brother! ”
Seeing that Du Xiaoxi went to the study without looking back, Mama Qing went back to the room with a suffocated face.
Mu He, who was choosing a bedtime story for the baby in her belly, looked at the stinky grandmother and asked with a smile: "Mama, what is the matter with Sister Du?" ”
Mama Qing sighed, "The old slave thinks that his eyes may be really bad. "She can't even face the Du family's lady.
"Huh? Why did Mama say this? ”
Mama Qing said that Du Xiaoxi calmly came to His Royal Highness. After being persuaded by Mu He for a few words, he decided that he must treat Du Xiaoxi as His Royal Highness's sister-in-law, and he would not think about it anymore when he saw her.
Du Xiaoxi said hello to Qian De and was led into the study.
The faint fragrance of ink came, and Du Xiaoxi wrinkled his little nose and put the box in his hand forward.
When the box was opened, several pieces of transparent water jade were even more transparent and bright under the candlelight, as clear as water.
Shang Qing thought about eating, and when Mu He said that Du Xiaoxi went to buy a birthday gift for his master, did he want to use these water jade to let him help do something?
"Senior brother, you must have seen the kind of scholar who can't see things clearly and doesn't have bad eyes, right? It's the same with the elderly? ”
Shang Qing nodded, Emperor Jiayuan is an emperor who is good at reading, and his eyes are not very good.
Du Xiaoxi took out a piece of water jade. "My mother's eyes are not good, when it snowed last winter, I accidentally found that the ice cubes were cut into protruding shapes, and my mother and a few old people in the village could see clearly through the ice." I heard that there is this kind of transparent water jade, but I didn't expect to find it today, I want my brother to help me make a few glasses. ”
Du Xiaoxi originally wanted to push the invention of glasses on the master, but he was afraid that others would say that the master had lived in Beijing for so long and didn't mention it, so he could only forget about the matter himself.
In fact, Du Xiaoxi is in the middle of the game and doesn't know the situation, even if Master Xile suddenly proposes a method to make zuò glasses, everyone will not raise objections, after all, they will also think that the glasses are just an accidental discovery by Master Xile. I wouldn't guess that the Master of Joy had known for a long time that there was such a thing. found out in the name of Du Xiaoxi, but it was easier to get her involved in the tide of the wind.
Shang Qing took a serious look at the sketch of the 'glasses' drawn by Du Xiaoxi on the paper, took a piece of water jade and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, he really couldn't imagine that this thing could make people who couldn't see it clear better.
But thinking about the thunder and lightning that Du Xiaoxi made back then. Shang Qing still decided to give it a try.
Du Xiaoxi was about to argue for a while, when he heard the senior brother open his mouth and say, "Qian De, let An Lao come over." ”
Qian De answered, and soon someone went to ask for an elder.
An Lao is an old disciple under Shang Qing, who is erudite and knowledgeable. He is one of the main figures of Shangqing Think Tank. There is also the problem of not being able to see things clearly as Du Xiaoxi said.
Du Xiaoxi saw a white-bearded old man walking straight in with a cane, and only stopped to salute when he was very close to Shangqing's table, and then walked to Du Xiaoxi less than a meter in front of him and examined Du Xiaoxi for a while. Du Xiaoxi greeted apprehensively under the wise eyes of the old man.
Shang Qing simply repeated what Du Xiaoxi said, and An Lao picked up a piece of water jade and looked at it seriously, and also learned from Shang Qing's appearance just now and made a few gestures in front of him.
"How is Du Niangzi convinced that what you say can really succeed? The old man had never heard of this method. ”
Du Xiaoxi straightened up, the optical stores that bloomed everywhere in her previous life were her strongest backing, "I found someone to try it, and I can see it clearly by making ice cubes like this." If Uncle Ann doesn't believe it, you can find some ice cubes and try it like this, but some people are short-sighted and some are lighter, and some are heavier. We need to first briefly estimate the degree of a person's short-sightedness, and then determine the thickness of the lenses. ”
As he spoke, Du Xiaoxi took out a piece of paper from his arms, stood a little away from An Lao, opened the paper in his hand, pointed to the large and small words 'mountain' on it and asked, "Uncle An, you can't see the row from top to bottom?" ”
Du Xiaoxi confidently grasped the eye chart, which was the result of her struggle for half an afternoon. Originally, I thought of using 'day, day, eye', thinking that the words were too difficult to write, but I decided to follow the classics of the previous life.
An Lao stared and looked at it, and finally replied honestly: "I can't see clearly from the third line down." ”
After speaking, An Lao stepped forward and looked at the eye chart from top to bottom, Du Xiao waited proudly to accept the praise, and heard the loving old man say, "Who wrote this word?" It's miserable! ”
Du Xiaoxi: "......"
