Although the Empress Dowager also felt that Fang Jifan was a little stingy in giving the gift, she admired Fang Jifan very much and did not really care about it.

Zhu Houzhao said such things to so many people, and the Empress Dowager had the intention to smooth things over for Fang Jifan. She smiled and said, "The courtesy is light and the affection is heavy. The prince doesn't understand, so don't talk nonsense."

Fang Jifan's face was unsatisfied, and a bright smile appeared on his face and said, "Empress, I am just about to talk about this glass mirror. This is a great gift that I have spent countless efforts to prepare for the Empress."

Great gift...

As he said that, Fang Jifan had already made a trick and took out a wooden box from his sleeve, which was only larger than his palm.

This is a glass mirror? A glass mirror the size of a palm? This... I'm afraid there is not a pound, right?

Many people shook their heads secretly.

Fang in the corner couldn't help but worry about her nephew, although she was so happy that she burst into tears because of her nephew's success.

Even Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but glared at him. The glass had been produced over a thousand pounds, and it was still used to build a greenhouse. You can just use a small box to pack such a small piece of it?

Fang Jifan opened the box as if nothing had happened in everyone's eyes. Although the Empress Dowager laughed, the smile was a little stiff after all. He was not really greedy for such a little bit of courtesy, but he just felt that this face was not very good.

Young people are ignorant and can't even give gifts.

But Fang Jifan took out a strange thing from the box.

It's glasses.

To be precise, this is a pair of reading glasses. With glass, reading glasses are easy to make, and it is nothing more than a problem of polishing. Although manual polishing is time-consuming and laborious, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not a problem. In fact, China's first glasses originated from the late Ming Dynasty and originated in the Gusu region. In order to ensure the accuracy of polishing lenses, during the Chongzhen period, a native of Wujiang named Sun Yunqiu, who was half a fellow villager with Tang Yin, made frame glasses.

Not only that, he also invented the lens grinding machine - the tractor cart. This tractor cart uses foot pedals to rotate, use ore sand, white mud, brick ash, etc. as abrasives or polishing materials to grind the lens into concave lenses to meet the needs of eye refractive indexes. Finally, he mastered the "grinding" technology and used natural crystal stone to make lenses. At the same time, he mastered the "optometry" technology and developed presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia and other varieties and various photometric lenses according to human age and different vision, and prepared a set of "eye-to-eye-to-eye" original optometry method to test the eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-

The material used by Fang Jifan to make glasses is glass. As for the polishing method, it is borrowed from Sun Yunqiu's "Tongtuo Cart" to create lenses, which is very significant.

Of course, the biggest problem here is the degree of reading glasses. Fang Jifan had probably consulted Zhu Houzhao and had a clear understanding of the approximate degree of the Empress Dowager. However, when fitting glasses, Fang Jifan seemed very conservative. He only needed to ensure that the world seen by the Empress Dowager was clearer, but he might not have to perfectly fit the reading glasses with the Empress Dowager.

As for what will happen in the future, it will be tailor-made.

The frames of the glasses are made of copper and wood. In order to keep them smooth, a layer of paint was also applied, and two mirrors were inlaid on the top, which is no different from those of later generations.

I heard Fang Jifan say, "This is a mirror of life."

“…”

If the glass is made like this, it will become a permanent mirror?

This reminded Zhu Houzhao of the melons planted in the greenhouse, which felt like Fang Jifan insisted on saying that it was nourished by the treasures of heaven and earth.

The Empress Dowager is old and has experienced four dynasties and is naturally facing a problem, which is that her eyes are blurred and she cannot see things clearly. What is even more terrifying is that older people cannot walk around and sit in this hall every day. To be honest, they are almost blurred in front of them.

Fang Jifan said: "The Empress Dowager, can you allow me to personally append this longevity mirror to the Empress?"

"Bold." Emperor Hongzhi felt that Fang Jifan was simply crazy.

Wear it yourself, what does it mean? Do you don’t understand the rules at all?

The Empress Dowager smiled tolerantly. Fang Jifan is the uncle of the true master of the Dharma-supporting Master. He is a good child. Although he is a little stingy, he...

"Accurate."

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi pitifully, meaning, Your Majesty, you see, the Empress Dowager is accurate, right?

When the Empress Dowager saw Fang Jifan's expression, she immediately understood that Fang Jifan's good boy was frightened by the emperor.

So he coughed and looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a stern look, meaning that today is the birthday of the Ai family. If you have something to do, why do you do as an emperor?

Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused, but no matter how he said that he didn't want the emperor's grandmother to be unhappy, so he forced out a smile and said, "Fang Qing family, go."

Fang Jifan was not polite, so he went forward, stood on the side of the Empress Dowager, and gently put the perpetual glass on the bridge of the Empress Dowager's nose.

The Empress Dowager thought it was strange. The glasses were first placed on the nose and hooked their ears, giving people a feeling of discomfort, but in an instant.

The Empress Dowager felt that the world in front of her was completely different.

The vague world became extremely clear in an instant. This rash clarity made her a little dizzy, but when she gradually adapted, she saw a figure that was just a blur. Fang Jifan, who was standing beside her, had his facial features clearly visible, and his sword eyebrows, his sword-cut temples, and even his hair on his temples, were extremely clear.

A person who is used to blurring is already accustomed to it at least in this era, but suddenly seeing this clear world reminded the Empress Dowager of the Times when she was still young, and her body trembled.

This tremor suddenly made countless eye-catching eyes become frightened.

Why... there is something wrong with this mirror?

Emperor Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.

The Empress Dowager wore a perpetual mirror and suddenly turned her eyes. This time, her eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's eyes, it was particularly weird.

This is his great-grandson, his dearest great-grandson. The Empress Dowager has forgotten how long it has been since she looked at this child clearly. Now that she sees this guy, perhaps in the eyes of others, the prince has countless shortcomings, but now, this clear great-grandson is very cute in the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

A tear fell from behind the lens.

The Empress Dowager's body also began to tremble. She stretched out her hand and wanted to summon Zhu Houzhao to come in and let herself look at her great-grandson carefully. No matter how she looked at it, she felt like it.

How can ordinary people understand and understand this feeling?

But as soon as the tears fell, countless people shivered.

Something happened...is something wrong?

"The Emperor's Grandmother...the Emperor's Grandmother..." Emperor Hongzhi called out worriedly.

The Empress Dowager then came back to her senses from her trance, but even so, it was still difficult to suppress her inner excitement. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "Fang Jifan."

"Here." Fang Jifan smiled happily and laughed very much. Presbyopia and myopia were actually the same. In the last life, Fang Jifan had myopia. Without wearing glasses, people with normal vision could not understand how pitfalls there would be.

The Empress Dowager held the handle of the chair and barely supported herself to stand up. She was wearing reading glasses and looked around: "The Ai family has never received such a gift in their life. Today's birthday is a mountain of gold and silver, and it is not as good as this omnipresent mirror. If you... have to spend time, you have to give it a lot!"

The Empress Dowager was very happy.

What is gold, silver and jewelry? She has enjoyed the blessings she should enjoy in this life. In her eyes, these jewelry are just beautiful stones, but this everlasting mirror seems to make her suddenly brighter.

I stay in this hall every day, even if I light a candle, I can hardly see things because of presbyopia. Now I suddenly see the light again, how can I not give it a reward?

Women are emotional animals, and even the Empress Dowager is no exception.

She had originally admired Fang Jifan very much, but now with such a big gift, the Empress Dowager will not hesitate to say anything about praise.

She glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Emperor, what do you think?"

Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, it was obvious that the emperor's grandmother was happy, and Emperor Hongzhi was also happy. He was about to say something.

But Fang Jifan said, "Empress, please don't give me a reward."

"Don't give me a reward?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly.

Fang Jifan said: "But I have an aunt who married the second son of Duke Wei. She has been very nice to me since I was a child. I think it is because my aunt is so smart now. I think it is because of my good teaching..."

"…………” At first, Fang Jifan wanted to refuse the reward, but Emperor Hongzhi thought this guy was normal, but unexpectedly, this guy began to happily call him smart again. As expected,... Fang Jifan was still the same Fang Jifan.

"The Ai family understands." The Queen Mother of the ****, after the lens, her eyes seemed to lit up: "You mean, you want to admire your aunt in the palace."

Fang Jifan really didn't care about the rewards in the palace. What could he give? 100,000 gold... gold, I heard it like to hear it. It's actually copper. It's absolutely impossible to get promoted... It's impossible. Before the Ming Dynasty gave him a birthday gift, he immediately promoted his predecessor. The title... It's even more impossible. He is neither a royal relative nor a military achievement. It's a delusion to want to win the title.

Since my father is so sad now, I will... give this benefit to my aunt, so that my father will be happy.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "What a good child. The Ai family is indeed not wrong. Since that's the case, he will be the second-rank lady and the emperor. How about it?"

Second-rank lady...

Fang Jifan was shocked.

Fang was also shocked.

Including Na Mu, he was even more gloomy.

You know, even Mu is just a third-rank lady
