Datang romantic little landlord

At this time, Niu Wu was still wearing five or six pairs of reading glasses of different prescriptions.

The reason why Li Wangyou named the reading glasses "叆叇" was not actually his own creation, but Huaxia has had reading glasses since then, and this is the name.

The Southern Song Dynasty's "Dongtian Qinglu" records that: "Kuu, the old man can't distinguish fine books, so he can hide his eyes to see."

"Liu Qing Ri Zha" at the end of the Ming Dynasty also contained: "Every time I read an article, my eyesight is dim and tired, and I can't distinguish the details. I use this to cover my eyes, my spirit is not scattered, and my strokes are clear. In the middle, I use silk and silk to tie it behind my head. If you don’t know it, ask Yu. Yu said: This is the same.”

So "叆叇" is what the ancients called reading glasses.

Li Wangyou looked at the guests in the lobby again: "Dare you ask me, do you have vertigo and blurred vision at close range?"

The idiom is old and dim, which is the symptom of presbyopia.

There were quite a few elderly officials in the lobby, and Yu Shinan was not the only one with presbyopia.

Although everyone didn't know why Uncle Huxian asked such a question, many veteran officials, including Kong Yingda and Dai Zhou, expressed that they had such eye problems.

Li Wangyou nodded, turned around and took out a pair of reading glasses from the wooden box Niu Wu was holding.

Another pair of "叆叇"?

Seeing that Li Wangyou actually took out another pair of the crystal ornament that was just given to Yu Shinan as a congratulatory gift, everyone was even more curious. Could it be that this thing has other uses?

Holding the reading glasses, Li Wangyou went straight to Kong Yingda, bowed and said, "Mr. Kong, I have a pair here. It can relieve Mr. Kong's eye disease. Would Mr. Kong give it a try?"

Can this crystal chip cure eye diseases?

Not only Kong Yingda was stunned, but the other guests were also dumbfounded when they heard Li Wangyou's words.

"How to use this thing?" Kong Yingda was troubled by eye diseases, and hearing what Li Wangyou said, he couldn't help being a little excited, and hurriedly asked.

Li Wangyou put the glasses on the bridge of his nose, showed Kong Yingda how to wear them, and then handed him the reading glasses: "Mr. Kong will know it once he tries it."

Kong Yingda took the reading glasses, put them on in front of his glasses a little awkwardly, and looked around suspiciously.

The next moment, the old man's eyes were almost bulging out, and he had a ghostly expression on his face...

"Hey, what kind of fairy art is this? Old man, this old man can see clearly! Dao Ancestor! My eyes can see clearly again! Quick, quick, get a book for this old man!"

Kong Yingda's beard trembled with excitement, and his body trembled a little.

It is difficult for people who are not myopic or presbyopic to experience this feeling of being able to see clearly.

To make an inappropriate analogy, it’s like watching a movie. It was originally a blurry image with out-of-focus, but suddenly it becomes a Blu-ray high-definition version. How can it make people not excited?

Kong Yingda's excited performance after putting on the glasses shocked everyone. Is this old man going crazy?

461 It's really a magic weapon!

Kong Yingda yelled like crazy, so frightened that the servants and maids of the Yu Mansion did not dare to neglect, and immediately obeyed his orders and ran to fetch a book.

The book sent was "The Analects of Confucius", and Kong Yingda was not picky. He took the book and opened it casually, then shook his head and read it aloud: "The Master said: 'If a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful; if he learns, he will not be firm...', Haha, the old man sees it clearly! It’s really a divine tool! My brother Ziyou, what is this thing? It’s so miraculous, it’s unbelievable!”

Li Wangyou was speechless and put his hand on his forehead, maybe Kong Yingda must be crazy with joy?Why even Ziyou and my younger brother are here?It's too late, old man!

"This is Kui! Did Kong Gong forget?"

"Oh, yes, yes, 叆叇! Haha, this name is exquisite! It really is 叆叇!"

Kong Yingda put on those reading glasses, but she didn't want to take them off.

His performance made the other senior ministers who were also troubled by presbyopia even more curious.

"Kong Gong, can I give this thing a try?"

"Brother Chongyuan, can I borrow this old man to wear it?"

Kong Yingda's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, this is a gift from my brother Ziyou to this old man, how can I borrow it from you."

Li Wangyou's face turned even darker, damn, what a stinky face!

When did I say I would give it to you?Obviously what I just said was trying it on!

Do you understand what it means to try it on?

Kong Yingda's attitude aroused even more itch among the senior ministers. They surrounded Kong Yingda and forced him to take off his glasses.

Seeing this situation, Li Wangyou didn't dare to take out the other glasses, otherwise they would all be gone forever.

"Brother Chongyuan, this is Ziyou's congratulatory gift to the old man. How do you wear it? Take it off quickly!" Yu Shinan heard Kong Yingda say that this can make the eyes see clearly, and he yelled at the time if he didn't understand. up.

This is an artifact!

Yu Shinan also suffers from eye disease, so how could he not be in a hurry after hearing what Kong Yingda said.

But Kong Yingda waved his hands again and again: "No, no, brother Bo Shi, your gift has been broken by the little boy of the Wang family. This picture is not a gift from my brother Ziyou."

What he said made Yu Shinan startled for a moment, and then he immediately turned his head and glared at Wang Ziyu.

The commotion between Li Wangyou and Kong Yingda here is naturally seen in the eyes of Wang Renyou and Wang Ziyu, the father and son.Both of them were a little stunned, not understanding why Kong Yingda and the others were so excited.

In Wang Renyou's heart, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

Being glared at by Yu Shinan made Wang Renyou panic even more. It seemed that something was beyond his expectation.

On the other side, a group of old ministers surrounding Kong Yingda finally snatched the pair of reading glasses from his face, Kong Yingda was so angry that he jumped up.

"Not a son of man! You are really hateful! Robbers! Bandits!"

Lu Kuan, Dai Zhou, Yu Shinan and the others paid no attention to his yelling, they couldn't wait to put the pair of reading glasses on their eyes, and they made a fuss for a while.

Every Confucian who wears reading glasses is reluctant to take them off again.It forced other people to argue and quarrel again before they tried it on again.

This scene, in the eyes of other guests who came to pay their respects, almost thought they were hallucinating.

Whether it is Kong Yingda, Lu Kuan, or Dai Zhou, these people are all great Confucian scholars in the world, or big shots in the court.

How could a gentleman who is gentle and elegant on weekdays, a gentleman like jade, make such a fuss over such an unremarkable pair of crystal ornaments.

Is that "叆叇" really so magical?

After some fuss, Li Wangyou cleared his throat, and asked in a loud voice, "Masters, I don't know how much the kua I gave to Duke Yu is worth? How much copper coins are you willing to pay for this thing?"

Kong Yingda replied without hesitation: "I am willing to give five hundred guan. My son is worried about my brother. I will resell this painting."

"Let's go, the old man is willing to pay a thousand copper coins!"

"Hmph, the old man offered 1000 taels of gold! Mr. Huxian, let me give this picture to the old man."
