Chapter 372: Still Very Affordable
Now that the imperial examination results have been published, it means that Zhang Dongxiang should return to the court.
But Fang Zhengyi did not see Zhang Dongxiang appear during the court meeting yesterday.
I think I should be resting at home, after all, the position of examiner is very demanding.
Countless articles need to be read in a few days.
An ordinary person really wouldn't have this ability.
However, in the morning of the next day, Zhang Dongxiang appeared at the court meeting as usual.
It’s just that the performance is a little unusual!
When I arrived at the main hall, I would glance at Fangzheng from time to time!
These days are really tiring. After seeing the clear world again, it is difficult to be satisfied with the current blurry vision.
Especially when he saw that Guo Tianyang had put on glasses and Zhang Dongxiang's old face made him look very angry.
I haven't used it yet, but a eunuch has used it first?!
You took advantage of me so much, and your relatives recognized it for nothing?
Fang Zheng naturally understood his behavior when he saw it. After the court meeting was over, the two of them walked to a hidden position at the entrance of the hall and started whispering under the surprised eyes of the officials.
Under the pillars outside the hall, Zhang Dongxiang asked impatiently: "Where are the things?"
"Third uncle, why are you in a hurry? Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. The food I bring you this time will definitely be better than last time! You will wait..."
"Stop whining! Hurry up!"
Fang Zhengyi shook his head helplessly, took out a wooden box from his sleeve, opened the wooden box and revealed the exquisite glasses inside.
A pair of silver-rimmed glasses, the clear lenses are the same as the previous light meter.
However, it does have an extra thoughtful design. A silver chain is specially tied to the two temples of the glasses for easy hanging around the neck.
Zhang Dongxiang was immediately overjoyed, picked up his glasses and put them on.
The silver chain hangs naturally around the neck!
"Yeah! Yeah! Okay! This is it! I only wore it for a day, and I'm still not used to it without it!"
"Yeah!"
"Yes! What were you going to say just now?" Seeing the old man's happy face, Fang Zhengyi also smiled: "When you return to the cabinet later, when others ask, remember to buy it for three hundred taels."
Zhang Dongxiang frowned: "Isn't it two hundred and five?!"
"Did you have this chain last time?"
"...."
"Besides, two hundred and fifty is the price of affection! I'll give Mr. Li and Mr. Zheng each a pair, so don't go out yelling!"
"This afternoon! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will set up a stall in front of the cabinet. Make reservations! No one is slow!"
"I know! What a shame, you profiteer!" Zhang Dongxiang frowned and walked away cursing.
When he arrived at the door of the Cabinet Office, Zhang Dongxiang adjusted his official uniform, took off his glasses and hung them on his chest.
With a calm smile on his face, he slowly walked into the public room.
Even when this person gets old, he cannot avoid showing off in his heart.
He wanted to show off such a treasure as his glasses in front of everyone.
It was already late when he arrived, and many people in the public room were holding newspapers and reading them carefully.
Few people realized he had entered.
Seeing this, Zhang Dongxiang coughed twice.
"Ahem!"
Everyone reading the newspaper slowly put down the newspapers in their hands and looked at Zhang Dongxiang.
Zhang Dongxiang, acting like a normal person, picked up the glasses from his chest and carefully put them on his head.
Everyone was shocked at this moment!
Li Yansong was surprised and said: "Why do you use the eunuch's things!"
"???"
Three black lines hang down from Zhang Dongxiang's forehead.
Eunuch's stuff? Is this thing reserved for eunuchs only? I can't eat when eunuchs eat?
"Mr. Li...what do you mean? How come it is something used by eunuchs?"
Li Yansong's face was full of confusion: "What on earth is this? It seems that only Eunuch Guo is using this in the palace."
"Isn't this just for eunuchs?"
During this time, everyone was still guessing what the purpose of this strange-looking thing on Guo Tianyang's face was.
Finally, a unified conclusion is drawn.
Maybe the eunuch had some psychological problems, so he made special decorations to show off.
The reason why there was such a misunderstanding was that, firstly, no one had the nerve to take the initiative to talk to the eunuch, after all, we were not Founders. Secondly, His Majesty’s attitude seemed to be acquiescing, so everyone assumed that this thing was only for eunuchs.
Now that Mr. Zhang is wearing it, it means that this thing has other functions!
Zhang Dongxiang snorted and flicked his sleeves.
"This thing is called glasses! It is a treasure of health. Wearing it can clear your liver and improve your eyesight!"
This time everyone was shocked again.
What is this? Just wearing it can clear the liver and improve eyesight, or is it a treasure for health?
I won’t feel tired after talking about this big guy!
The topics of conversation on weekdays, apart from court affairs, are health and fitness.
Since life is decent, it is natural to pursue higher quality!
As soon as the old man heard about keeping in good health, he couldn't control it at all!
Several people immediately put down their newspapers and walked quickly to Zhang Dongxiang to look at it.
Zhang Dongxiang looked proud at first, but soon became embarrassed despite the pointing eyes of everyone.
He took off the chain and glasses hanging around his neck and said helplessly: "Let's see!"
Li Yansong took the glasses and began to play with them in his hands. Zhang Dongxiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold them down.
He kept saying: "Be careful...be careful...don't break it..."
Li Yansong showed disdain on his face: "You are so young at this age, but you are still so stingy! Let me try it!" After that, he put the glasses on his head.
The whole person was immediately shocked when he saw it, and his eyes widened!
"My eyesight has improved! It really clears the liver and improves my eyesight! The effect is so immediate!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers suddenly became excited! It turns out that it is really a good treasure and not a trick!
Zhang Dongxiang said proudly: "How? How?"
Li Yansong nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay!"
Zheng Qiao on the side was so greedy that he was almost crying. He wanted to stretch out his hand several times and called softly: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, let me try too!"
He also has an old problem with his eyes, he can't see clearly!
When I was young, I didn't dare to light the lamp in order to save fuel. Now my eyesight is getting worse and worse. How can I not be tempted by such a treasure?
After looking around, Li Yansong reluctantly took off his glasses and placed them in Zheng Qiao's hands.
Zheng Qiao put it on impatiently, took it off as soon as he put it on, and said disappointedly: "No! The effect is really strange, but I actually feel very sick. It seems that I have no chance with this baby..."
Zhang Dongxiang didn't want to let others try it at this moment. He quickly grabbed the glasses and put them back on his head. He said with a senior expression: "Hey! You don't understand, this thing needs to be customized! It's just like drinking medicine. Thousands of people try their best, but I can't do this.
It’s suitable for you, not just glasses!”
"Just go get a new pair!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Dongxiang eagerly, and Zheng Qiao also regained hope.
"So...where can I buy it?"
Zhang Dongxiang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about where we can buy it. Let's talk about the price first. Everyone will do according to their ability!"
"How much?" Everyone looked nervous.
Such a magical thing is definitely not cheap, it is estimated to cost dozens of taels of silver!
Those two crystal pieces are extraordinary!
"Three hundred taels!!" Zhang Dongxiang stretched out three fingers.
"Three hundred taels for such a light gadget! This is too expensive. Mr. Zhang, where did you buy it from? I'm afraid you were cheated! I'll go find the profiteer to argue!" someone said angrily.
"Fang Zhengyi sells it! This afternoon I said that I would set up a stall in front of the public house to provide glasses for everyone. You can pre-order glasses then!"
Li Yansong and Zheng Qiao shook their heads.
"Don't go! Don't go! Aren't you going to be slaughtered like a fat sheep?"
Zhang Donglian hurriedly pulled their sleeves and whispered: "Fang Zhengyi said he would give you two a pair for free!"
Now, the two old men were instantly happy!
Li Yansong stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "But... I think about it, the effect of this thing is indeed magical! Three hundred taels can be exchanged for a pair of good eyes, so it is worth the money!"
Chapter completed!
