As soon as they got the mansion back, brothers Zhao Shouzheng and Zhao Shouye couldn't wait to move back.
It¡¯s not that they dislike Caijia Alley, but only by moving back to the big house with five entrances and three exits by the Qinhuai River can they announce to Jinling that the old Zhao family has completely turned over.
Early the next morning, Zhao Shouzheng put down all the entertainment and excitedly took Zhao Shouye and his son back to look at the house. Zhao Hao wanted to take a nap, but his father forced him into the carriage.
????????????? How could you not take a first look at the house you took back?
Zhao Hao had no choice but to yawn and follow the road. In fact, he only had good memories of the mansion for half a day, and the rest of the days were terrible. When it comes to having feelings, the small courtyard that was demolished by his uncle will never be replaced in his heart.
Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes at Zhao Shouye again. The uncle's spine went cold when he saw it, and he hurriedly laughed and said, "What's wrong? Is there any flowers on the uncle's face?"
"I was thinking, if my old neighbor saw me, my uncle, who was about to die, is now alive and kicking. How would he feel?"
"Didn't you say that this is a miracle of medicine" Zhao Shouye scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "People say that it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. I stayed at home for three months and have recovered very quickly." Is it reasonable?"
"Well, it's reasonable." Zhao Hao deliberately teased the uncle and said with a serious face: "But to be on the safe side, it's best for the uncle to use a walking stick. If you cough a few times in front of others, no one will gossip."
"It makes sense." Zhao Shouye believed Zhao Hao's words very blindly now. He immediately asked Gao Wu to stop the car, bought a walking stick and a box of gouache on the side of the road, returned to the car and sprinkled some on his face.
Zhao Hao could hardly hold back his laughter, but as soon as he saw his uncle's bad appearance, he couldn't help but want to laugh. As a result, he held it in all the way, which made his stomach hurt. It was really harmful to others and himself.

After a while, the carriage crossed the Qinhuai River and arrived in front of the Zhao family's mansion.
When the four of them got out of the car, they happened to meet someone other than Yuan Zhang picking up a plaque. Brother Zhao Shouzheng naturally sighed again.
After the Zhang family left, the four of them stepped into the house and took a look. They saw that the old tiles and floor tiles had all been replaced with Qingyishui's top-notch Linqing goods. The walls were also freshly painted, and even the doors and windows had a new look. Many landscape pieces have been added inside and outside, adding a lot of color to the entire mansion.
"A path hugs a secluded mountain, and it is actually in the middle of the city." Looking at the beautiful scenery caused by the Taihu stone, Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but praise: "This member's watch is quite tasteful."
"He planned to live on his own, so he specially invited Wen Zhengming's son, Mr. Wenshui, to come and give him some advice." Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have known that this house was bought by him."
"Oh, my son actually knows Mr. Wenshui?" Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but said in fascination: "My father likes his paintings very much. You can ask for a calligraphy treasure for me later."
"It's easy to talk about." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile, and walked in while talking nonsense to his father: "I can also buy Tang Bohu's masterpieces from him."
¡°Then I¡¯ll get two of them.¡± Zhao Shouye happily joked, ¡°Now we have plenty of room to hang them at home.¡±
Zhao Hao glanced at him, and he quickly bent down and started coughing on crutches.
"Uncle, this is at home" Zhao Hao smiled helplessly. He knew that his uncle didn't know how to express his gratitude and deliberately acted ugly to make himself happy.
"Haha, I'm used to it, I'm used to it." Zhao Shouye straightened up.
While talking, the four of them walked to the main courtyard of the back house and saw the empty courtyard. They couldn't help but miss Zhao Liben, who had not been heard from, even more.
Zhao Shouzheng said with red circles in his eyes: "It would be great if the old man were here."
"We can't wait any longer!" Zhao Shouye slapped his thigh and said to Zhao Xian: "Tomorrow you will take two people back to Xiuning. One is to report the good news to the clan, and the other is to ask clearly where the old man has gone. Don't tell me If your grandfather finds you, you don¡¯t have to come back.¡±
"Yes, father." Zhao Xian agreed in a deep voice. He had long wanted to see the old man and begged Zhao Liben to let him change his career.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xian and others set off, while brother Zhao Shouzheng took Zhao Hao to visit the furniture store in Confucius Temple.
The house that Zhang Yuanwai returned to was empty, so it was natural to buy a full set of furniture. Now that the Zhao family is rich again, those ordinary pine, cypress, and willow furniture naturally look down upon. Every room where the owner lives is either red rosewood or huanghuali, pure and precious furniture. Naturally, Zhao Hao also bought the Huanghuali Babu bed that he had longed for, and he bought twelve of them
When the three of them were sent out by the store owner with a nod and bow, Zhao Hao was suddenly pricked in the eye by the reflection from the store opposite.
Seeing him frowning, the store owner immediately held up an umbrella to help Mr. Zhao block the light, and said angrily: "It's really unlucky to open the door to a Kuoji store."
"Love?" Zhao Hao accidentally revealed his ignorance.
"My son doesn't even know about Kui Kui?" Zhao Shouzheng explained strangely: " Kui Kui is also called glasses. Your grandfather once wore a pair."
"Yes, the old man's eyes are so dazzled that he can't see clearly without wearing that thing." Zhao Shouye also added.
"Oh?" Zhao Haoxin said, aren't those reading glasses?
"You guys can continue shopping, I'll take a look." Zhao Hao said, leaving the two of them behind, and accompanied by Gao Wu, went straight to the Kokut shop opposite.
I saw nearly a hundred pieces of shining lenses hanging on the shelves at the entrance of the store. No wonder Zhao Hao was almost blinded by them.
It¡¯s not that the store owner is deliberately causing trouble, but the store is dark, so you can only audition at the entrance of the store.
The owner of the store had already seen that this young man was sent by the boss opposite. Knowing that a distinguished guest was coming, he hurriedly walked out of the counter and greeted him personally.
"This young man has invited me. I wonder if he is looking at reading glasses or reading glasses?"
"Well" Zhao Hao didn't show any timidity this time, and said noncommittally: "Let's take a look."
The store owner took a tray lined with velvet cloth, took down some lenses from the shelf, and introduced to Zhao Hao: "This is for presbyopia, and this is for young people. It is recommended to use a single lens for old people, and it is recommended to use a lens for small people." Double photo.¡±
Zhao Hao looked at the so-called single lens, which is a monocle. The double lens is more like the glasses of later generations, except that the temples are replaced by ropes.
Zhao Hao tried them separately, and sure enough, the reading glasses were far-sighted glasses, and the reading glasses were myopia glasses.
It turned out that Daming had mastered the technology of grinding convex and concave lenses, which made him immediately know how to teach Eryang the first lesson.
"What material are these glasses made of?" Zhao Hao Zhuangruo asked casually.
"The glass ones are cheaper. You can buy one pair for ten taels. The ones I showed you are made of East China Sea crystal. They are much clearer. Naturally they are a little more expensive. You need thirty taels a piece."
"Take a look at the glass one." Zhao Hao secretly sighed, thinking that the cheap one can even open a private room in Weijixian. This is really a thing only the rich can use.
No wonder there is only this Kiki shop in Confucius Temple, not even in such a prosperous place as Bell and Drum Tower Street.
He asked the store to bring over a few more green lenses, and compared them under the sun. He found that the texture of these glasses was impure and the color cast was severe. They were indeed incomparable to the crystal-clear East China Sea crystals.
He then deliberately deceived the store owner and said, "You are not good at burning. I have seen glass that is much more transparent than this."
"The ones you saw were either from China or passed down from the West," the shopkeeper explained quickly: "Back then, the eunuch Sanbao brought back the glass-burning man from the West, but it was always made by the royal family, and it was always imitated by the people. It was far from satisfactory. Only then could we find this East China Sea crystal to replace it and spread it."
"Where are you from?"
"We are from Hangzhou. Anyone who works in this business in the Ming Dynasty is from Hangzhou except Suzhou people." The store owner replied with a smile.
ps. I definitely saw the glasses in the "Scroll of Scenery of Fanhui in the Southern Capital" painted by Qiu Ying of the Ming Dynasty, and researched a lot of information, hoping to reduce everyone's debate.
