Chapter 50: Glasses

Harvey walked over to wake up Shirley, and as soon as his right hand touched her shoulder, he saw the willow eyebrows move slightly, Shirley opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Harvey in front of her smiling gently, as if realizing that some polite smile became embarrassing.

Harvey looked at her and said with concern: "Shirley, let's go rest when you're tired, there's no need to be too anxious about the illustrations, we still have plenty of time." โ€

"It's only eight o'clock in the evening, and I don't have to rest so early, so I'll go and wash the master's clothes first." Shirley stood up and sorted out the beautiful illustrations in front of her, and said in a hurry, covering Sakura's lips with soft hair and yawning.

Harvey thought thoughtfully: "It's better to go to bed early and get up early, it's easier to clean up the stains after soaking your clothes overnight, um~ And you go out with me at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." โ€

"Yes." Shirley was quiet and didn't ask Harvey why he wanted to take her out.

When the next day arrived, Harvey, who had changed his clothes, just went downstairs to see Shirley who had changed into a gray-brown plain clothes, the top was similar to a women's suit, the chest and cuffs were decorated with a lot of lace, and the skirt was an ordinary long skirt, and the overall style was still relatively common in this era. In this world, the best way to judge a woman's identity is actually her hair, and women below the common class usually don't spend a lot of time grooming their hair, and there are no professional servants to help with dressing. Shirley wears a top hat and her hair is casually coiled, not too much dressed up, but it also gives people a dignified and elegant impression.

Harvey also has a lot of his own clothes, all of which are left by Harvey Adrian, and now he usually wears basically the popular styles of this era, the same thin pants suit and white shirt. He came to Shirley, looked at Shirley for a while, and praised, "Shirley, it's been a long time since I've seen you wearing clothes other than maid clothes, it's so beautiful." โ€

Shirley smiled generously and a little shyly, pulling her long skirt and saluting: "Thank you." โ€

Harvey personally opened the door and made a gesture of invitation to her, and after going out, put his right hand in front of his lower abdomen.

Shirley didn't react for a while, and after hesitating for a while, she put Harvey's right hand and stood side by side with him: "Master, is it okay to go together like this?" โ€

The way two people hold hands is generally only used by women or couples who are in a close relationship.

Harvey smiled, "I'm afraid that passers-by will say that I am not worthy of you, dear Miss Shirley, today your identity is not a maid but an elegant and beautiful lady." โ€

"Yes, it's up to the lord to decide."

Harvey waved a horse-drawn cart to stop and instructed the groom to go to the largest supermarket in the city of Elroy. Supermarkets are not uncommon in this era, and they tend to target female customers, selling clothes, perfumes, jewelry, and some expensive furniture. When he came to his destination, he got off the carriage and saw a three-story luxury building in front of him, located at the junction of two streets, and the customers who came and went were basically well-dressed women.

The interior of the store is quite luxurious, with a variety of eyewear styles displayed at the counter, more than in a modern optician, some of them gold wire glasses, as well as oddly shaped monocles and hand-held glasses that resemble magnifying glasses, and Harvey is a little skeptical that these glasses will really work, especially the gentleman's monocle, which he has never understood how to wear.

Myopia is a disease of wealth in this era, and only the rich can read books to see the degree of myopia.

"Sir, ma'am, what do you need?" The male *** member in a black suit came over to greet respectfully, and when he bent over, he unconsciously looked at the strange guests in front of him a few more times, Harvey had an extraordinary bearing, and he should be the leader in appearance, and Shirley next to him was more noble and elegant than all the ladies and ladies he had seen, but the clothes were too ordinary.

Harvey withdrew his gaze from the counter and smiled politely, "Yes, I want to get her glasses, is there a machine here to test her eyes?" โ€

"Of course, please come here."

Shirley grabbed Harvey's sleeve a little nervously: "Master..."

Harvey leaned down to her ear and whispered: "Let's go, your eyes can't see anything in the distance, it just so happens that part of the royalties of the novel has arrived, and if you don't get a pair of glasses, I guess you will have to lower your head to look at it when you draw, I don't want to affect the quality of the illustration because of this." โ€

Shirley knew the condition of her eyes, and was still a little hesitant: "But the glasses are too expensive." โ€

"Shelly, trust me, any of the illustrations you draw are worth more than ten times more than the most expensive glasses here."

The mechanics of testing myopia are not complicated, simply rotate the lenses until they are sure that Shirley sees the picture most clearly, Harvey also brought glasses before the crossing, and with modern experience, he directly instructed the clerk to reduce the prescription of the glasses obtained by the test by 70 degrees, so that the eyes will not feel dizzy or tired easily.

After the configuration, the more ordinary gold wire eye sockets were selected, and the lenses were selected with high-end lenses worth 420 balun pounds. This startled the male ***, Harvey and Shirley's clothes were not too high-end but they directly chose one of the most expensive lenses, smiled from ear to ear and hurriedly promised to deliver the glasses to Harvey's mansion in person before tomorrow afternoon.

After fitting glasses, Harvey continued to lead Shirley to buy several sets of clothes and a new high-end maid outfit in this supermarket, making sure that he could replace all Shirley's previous clothes before leaving satisfied.

In addition to shopping, he also found a company that specializes in arranging maids, and hired several maids to help with household chores and relieve Shirley's stress.

The next morning, the glasses were delivered by the waiter himself.

On the sofa in the living room, Shirley carefully opened the case of her glasses, took out the glasses wrapped in a silk handkerchief, and circled them around, the crystal lenses seemed to her more beautiful than the brilliance of any gemstone. After putting on the glasses, her whole temperament became more gentle and intellectual, and she stood up curiously about the decoration on the customer hall, and never saw the layout of this mansion so clearly, the pattern of each sofa, the color of the paintings, and the dust she had noticed under the window. As if she had arrived in a new world, Shirley's delicate cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes became gentle and a natural smile bloomed.

"Shirley, how do you feel?" Harvey asked with a smile as he stood in front of the second-floor handrail, having heard the doorbell ringing just now when he was working on The Count of Monte Cristo.

"Yes, very... Very clear. Shirley walked to the window, stretched out her finger to wipe the wooden frame, looked at the dust on her fingers, looked up at Harvey and said embarrassedly: "I haven't paid attention to the dust in this corner before, and the guests will feel very rude when they see it." โ€

"Yesterday I said that glasses were too expensive."

Harvey couldn't help laughing, thought for a while and ordered: "By the way, the new servants will arrive later, you tell them not to go up to the second floor, and you will assign all the housework and cleaning." โ€

Shirley bowed to Harvey in understanding, then turned to look at the clarity she had never seen before.
