These elderly Old Madams all have so form of eye ailnts.
If they couldn’t see, they would have resigned to it, but now that suddenly there is an object that helps them see, they naturally would no longer want to remain blind.
"Old Ancestor, is this glazed mirror really so amazing that you can see the words clearly once you put it on?" The young master of the Duke’s Mansion stood in front of the dignified elder and asked curiously.
Around the room were sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren who ca curiously because of this matter.
"It works." Due to the improvent in her eye condition, the dignified elder appeared more spirited, her complexion blushing, a clear sign of how elation energizes a person.
"I don’t believe it. When I wear it, I don’t feel anything at all, and I even feel a bit dizzy?" The young man expressed so doubts.
The daughter-in-law also took the reading glasses and put them on, imdiately shaking her head with so frustration: "Old Madam, Jun’er is not wrong, you wouldn’t be lying just to save face for the Chu family, would you?"
"Hmph, even if I wanted to please the Chu family, there is no need for such a clumsy thod!" The dignified elder snorted coldly, "You all really have your insights in a dog’s belly."
"If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourselves."
"Go, bring my Buddhist scriptures."
"Old Ancestor, what are you doing?" the young man asked curiously.
"You all know that I haven’t been able to read the words clearly these past years, so I could only have the maidservants by my side read the scriptures. Today, I’ll read them to you myself."
Saying this, she wore the glistening, very exquisitely crafted, and certainly expensive reading glasses, not just reading the Buddhist scripture contents without missing a word, but even attempted to write quite a number of characters.
"Good heavens, this is just miraculous."
Similar reactions appeared simultaneously in nurous residences in the capital.
Great Chu values filial piety.
Previously, Ye Muyu had intentionally arranged people to publicize it.
Additionally, by grandly having people send them as gifts, regardless of whether officials were filial in private, they dared not refuse the elderly to use them.
Almost all who received the glasses were those who were willing to cooperate when Ye Muyu previously arranged people to inquire about the situation at their residences.
As for those who found excuses to refuse, they could only regret to the point of intestines turning green after hearing the news.
Evidently, on the opening day of the glazed mirror shop, business was bustling.
Those who hadn’t tried yet were also afraid and sent people to buy them, and even so young people, motivated by filial piety, went inside, only to be caught by the shop’s waiter who promoted them extensively; upon trying the glasses for nearsightedness themselves, they were stunned and imdiately bought them.
Among them, students who study bought the most.
One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred.
Even the Dowager Empress in the palace received a glazed mirror early on.
After Emperor Xuanming finished court, upon hearing the news in the capital, he imdiately went to Cining Palace.
When Emperor Xuanming ca over, the Dowager Empress was wearing the glazed mirror, holding a book, and reading.
"Mother." Emperor Xuanming walked in.
The Dowager Empress took off the glasses, smiling: "Why does the Emperor have ti to co today?"
"Mother, how do you find using this glazed mirror?" Emperor Xuanming always went straight to the point: "I heard after morning court that this thing appeared in the capital and heard that Madam Chu entered the palace to see the Dowager Empress yesterday and probably presented this item, so I ca to take a look."
"Indeed, this glazed mirror is very useful, Madam Chu is attentive, and as one grows older, one’s eyesight fails, but now with this glazed mirror, I can enjoy more of the scenery outside." The Dowager Empress said with a smile, her words all praising Ye Muyu.
"Mother, is this tool truly good to use? May I borrow it for a look?"
