Although the Empress Dowager felt that Fang Jifan's gift was a bit stingy, she admired Fang Jifan very much and didn't really care about it.
When Zhu Houzhao said such words in front of so many people, the Empress Dowager actually planned to smooth things over for Fang Jifan. She smiled and said: "Etiquette is light but affection is heavy. The prince doesn't understand, so don't talk nonsense."
Fang Jifan¡¯s face showed no shame. A bright smile appeared on his face and he said: ¡°Your Majesty, I was just about to talk about this glass mirror. This is a great gift that I have spent countless thoughts on preparing for Your Majesty.¡±
Great ceremony
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of his sleeves, like a magic trick, Fang Jifan took out a wooden box, which was only slightly larger than the palm of his hand.
This is a glass mirror? A palm-sized glass mirror? This I'm afraid it's not even a pound, right?
Many people shook their heads secretly.
Mrs. Fang in the corner couldn't help but worry about her nephew, even though just now she was so happy that she cried because of her nephew's success.
Even Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but glare at him. This glass weighed over a thousand kilograms. It was used to build a greenhouse. You just packed it in a small box?
Fang Jifan opened the box as if nothing had happened in the eyes of everyone. Although the Empress Dowager smiled, her smile was a bit stiff after all. It was not that she was really greedy for this courtesy, but she just felt that it was not a good look.
"Young men are ignorant and don't even know how to 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, it is easy to make reading glasses. It is just a matter of polishing. Although manual polishing is time-consuming and laborious, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, it will not be a problem. In fact, China's first glasses came from the late Ming Dynasty and originated in the Suzhou area. In order to ensure the accuracy of lens grinding, during the Chongzhen period, a Wujiang native named Sun Yunqiu, who was half the same hometown as Tang Yin, produced framed glasses.
Not only that, he also invented the lens grinding machine - the pulley. This kind of tug-o-wheel is turned by pedals, using ore sand, white mud, brick dust, etc. as abrasives or polishing materials to grind the lenses into convex and concave lenses to meet the refractive needs of the eyes. Finally, I finally mastered the "grinding" method. film¡± technology. Lenses are ground from natural crystal stones. At the same time, he also mastered the technology of "optometry", developed presbyopia, myopia, farsightedness and other varieties as well as lenses of various luminosity according to people's age and different vision, and compiled a set of original optometry of "eye-to-mirror" Method. Used to examine the visual environment. In this way, you can wear glasses according to your eyes, the effect is not bad at all, and it is more convenient and comfortable to wear on your face.
The material used by Fang Jifan to make glasses is glass. As for the polishing method, he borrowed Sun Yunqiu's "Tuo Tuo Car". The effect of making lenses is very remarkable.
Of course, the biggest problem here is the power of reading glasses. Fang Jifan had probably consulted Zhu Houzhao and had an idea of ??the Queen Mother's rough power. However, Fang Jifan seemed very conservative when it came to wearing glasses. He only had to ensure that The Queen Mother sees the world more clearly, but the prescription of the reading glasses does not necessarily fit perfectly with the Queen Mother.
As for what happens in the future, it will be customized.
The frame of these glasses is made of copper and wood. In order to keep it smooth, it is also coated with a layer of lacquer and has two mirrors inlaid on it. It is no different from the glasses of later generations.
"This is the Wanshou Mirror," Fang Jifan said.
""
If the glass is like this, does it become a Wanshou Mirror?
This reminded Zhu Houzhao of the melons grown in the greenhouse, just as Fang Jifan insisted on saying that they were melons nourished by the treasures of nature, materials and earth.
The Empress Dowager is getting older. After four dynasties, people will naturally face a problem when they get older, that is, their eyesight is dazzled and they cannot see close objects clearly. What is even more frightening is that it is impossible for old people to Walking around and just sitting in this hall every day, to be honest, everything in front of me is almost blurry.
Fang Jifan said: "The Empress Dowager, can you please allow me to personally match the longevity mirror to the empress?"
"Bold." Emperor Hongzhi felt that Fang Jifan was crazy.
Wearing it personally, what does this mean? Don¡¯t you understand any rules?
The Empress Dowager instead smiled tolerantly. This Fang Jifan was Master Hongfa¡¯s uncle. He was a good boy. Although he was a bit stingy, but
"That's right."
Fang Jifan then looked at Emperor Hongzhi pitifully, meaning, Your Majesty, you see the Queen Mother is right, right
The Empress Dowager looked at Fang Jifan.nbsp; "The Ai family understands." The ****** Empress Dowager's eyes seemed to light up behind the lenses: "You mean, you want the palace to reward your aunt."
Fang Jifan really doesn't care about the rewards from the palace. What can he give? One hundred thousand gold gold, it sounds like a welcome sight, sir, but actually it is copper. Promotion is absolutely impossible. Ming Dynasty has a record of being promoted immediately before giving a birthday gift. A title is even more impossible. He is not a relative of the emperor and has no military exploits. Wanting to be granted a title is simply wishful thinking.
Since dad is extremely melancholy now, I might as well give this benefit to my aunt, so that dad will be happy too.
The Empress Dowager smiled: "What a good boy. The Ai family is indeed right. In that case, how about making him a second-grade wife and emperor?"
The second-grade lady
Fang Jifan was startled.
Mrs. Fang was also shocked.
Including the Mu family, their beauty was even more pale.
You must know that even Mu is only a third-grade lady.
