The end of the year is over, and it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

The sky was still dark, and the entire Xia Mansion was already busy.

These days have been busy, and I have to go to the prison all day to CPU those prisoners, but I can't be idle on Chinese New Year's Eve, and I can't go back to Xiajiazhuang to lie down for the New Year.

Not to mention that there is a big court meeting on the New Year's Day, and all the civil and military officials above the seventh rank of the Beijing division will participate, and this Chinese New Year's Eve will have to go to the palace to pay a visit to the empress dowager, I heard that the old lady wants to meet her great-grandson-in-law.

Xia Yuan put on the unicorn suit, put on the crown and hat, looked in the mirror, and sighed in his heart, my damn charm that has nowhere to put it.

At this time, there was a rare liveliness in the Shoukang Palace, and the dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and on big days such as Chinese New Year's Eve, he wanted to visit the Empress Dowager.

Zhu Xiurong entered the palace yesterday and was taught etiquette for a day, after all, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and he could not be as casual as usual, and he must strictly follow etiquette.

Looking at the Empress Dowager sitting at the top, she took a breath, held the double phoenix bead crown on her head, dressed in a costume, and first took three steps forward according to the etiquette she learned, showing respect, and then bowed down, "Sun Chen Zhu Xiurong, meet your great-grandmother." ”

"Okay, get up, get up."

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and beckoned, waited until her great-granddaughter stood up, and then asked Emperor Hongzhi next to her, "That great-grandson-in-law should also come, right?" ”

"Look at the time when it's time to die, or Sun Chen's life"

Halfway through his words, a eunuch came in to report, "The emperor, Niangniang, Xia Xima has arrived." ”

"Please come in and talk." The Empress Dowager immediately spoke, looking outside the hall with a curious look.

Not long after, a eunuch led Xia Yuan in, and along the way, Xia Yuan always felt that this place was not like a palace, but like a temple, and everywhere was an incense burner.

Waited into the main hall of Shoukang Palace, and looked at the old lady sitting on the top, this is the Queen Mother.

As soon as his mind turned, Xia Yuan took a deep breath and respectfully stepped forward to bow and said, "The ministers and the Economic Bureau wash the horse Xia Yuan and meet the Empress Dowager." ”

Immediately, he saluted Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang one by one, "Meet His Majesty the Emperor, meet the Empress Mother." ”

The Empress Dowager beckoned with a smile, "Come, you go forward, let the mourning family take a closer look at you." ”

Xia Yuan didn't hesitate, and stepped forward very simply.

"You go a little further."

“.”

Xia Yuan took a few more steps forward.

"If you go further, the mourners won't be able to see you clearly."

What kind of eyesight does this old lady have?

Thinking in his heart, Xia Yuan had to walk forward again, until he walked to the Queen Mother, and he couldn't go any further.

The Empress Dowager looked him up and down, but she still couldn't see it really, so she had to order: "Go, bring the mourning family's man." ”

Love and esteem?

Who do you love?

Soon, a eunuch brought a brocade box, took out a lens from it, and presented it respectfully.

Two round lenses with a gold frame in the middle of the lenses that connect the two ends.

Isn't this horse just a glasses?

I saw the Empress Dowager holding the lens in her hand and holding it in front of her eyes, and the eyes behind the lenses suddenly enlarged several times, and then began to look at Xia Yuan.

In this posture, Xia Yuan always felt that the old lady was going to change into Ultraman Seven.

"Handsome, really handsome."

“.”

Sure enough, women look at their faces first.

It's the same for women no matter how old they are.

The Empress Dowager took the mourning from her eyes, and then became blind again, sighing: "Fortunately, with this sorrow, otherwise the mourning family is almost like a blind man, but it is too troublesome, and you always have to hold it when you use it." ”

Xia Yuan couldn't help but gesture and said, "Why doesn't that lady get two legs, and put this on her ears when you use it." ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was stunned at first, and then laughed again, "It's good that your method is good, but this is thick and heavy, and it can't be crushed when it is put on the ear." ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuan glanced at the stun again, it was really thick, at least two centimeters thick, it was still pure crystal, like those glasses with resin lenses in later generations, and I felt that my ears were sore after wearing it for a long time.

If you inlay two glasses on this side, you really can't stand wearing them on your ears.

However, maybe you can polish it and polish it thinner, but if it is too thin, the power will definitely not meet the requirements.

The two-centimeter-thick spectacle lenses illustrate the old lady's

"Xia Qing's family, Xia Qing's family, Xia Qing's family"

A shout finally brought Xia Yuan back to his senses, Emperor Hongzhi's face was no longer good-looking, this is in front of the Empress Dowager, I am cautious, this kid is actually distracted?

"Xia Qingjia, what were you thinking about just now, and what were you thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing the title of Xia Qing's family, Xia Yuan didn't know that Emperor Lao Tzu was already angry, and said honestly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister is thinking about how to create a light and thin pair to dedicate to the Empress Dowager." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's face paleated slightly, but he couldn't help but say: "Although you are a piece of filial piety, don't be whimsical, how can you make this thing?" ”

Hearing this topic, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but ask, "How can this be made so light?" ”

"Niangniang, can you take a look at that minister?"

"Why not?" As she spoke, the Empress Dowager handed over the trumpet.

It's heavy, it's heavy, and it's half a catty.

Xia Yuan raised the squirt and glanced at it, just this glance, he almost pouted, my mother, I'm afraid it has to be eight hundred degrees.

"Why, do you think this thin creature could be made?" Although the old lady did not have much hope for this matter, she could not help but look hopeful.

Only those who can't see clearly know how anxious they are to see things clearly, not to mention that her eyesight is almost out of the category of can't see clearly, and she can't see.

And this is thick and heavy, and it is really sore to hold, so I only occasionally take it out and use it.

If there is a light skew and two legs, she can wear it on her face in the future, and she doesn't have to hold it all day.

Xia Yuan didn't rush to speak for a while, and his mind was pondering again, either to make transparent resin, or to replace it with some other transparent and lightweight material, otherwise even if he polished, he couldn't grind it too thin, and if it was too thin, the degree would naturally decrease, and he still couldn't see things clearly.

Looking at his appearance, Emperor Hongzhi knew that this product was in trouble, and he couldn't stop sighing in his heart.

I just helped you out of the siege, you kid don't get off the donkey down the slope, you have to take a look at this stalk.

Well, now this matter is completely unavoidable, if you can't make it and disappoint the Queen Mother, then I can't help you.

"Niangniang, you give the minister more time, Rong Chen goes back to ponder and ponder, and the minister will definitely make a light one for you when he goes back, and it can be regarded as a filial piety for you."

Thinking of something in his head, Xia Yuan suddenly had confidence, and he said it with great certainty, which made the old lady smile.

"Okay, okay, then great-grandmother is waiting for your good news, even if it can't be made, don't worry, great-grandmother doesn't blame you."
