This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 258 Glasses
Both the Wang family and the Zhang family knew about this, but the more than 1000 mu of fertile land outside the city can be said to be worth 800 taels of silver. This amount of money can naturally be considered rich and powerful among ordinary people, but for them For these people, they are at the level of an upper-middle family.

How old do you have to be to show off your skills?The two of them secretly despised him.

At this time, the two heard Yang continue to laugh and said: "That bit of Zhuangtian is nothing, and I don't know where my ineffective son opened up this time. He went to Tuyuhun and made a lot of friends on the grassland. He is said to be a famous king or aristocrat, and many of them call him brothers and sisters, so he got a lot of rare goods for him to sell. He happily brought Shanzhou, and there were some treasures in it, so our family is like this. He became richer, an official doesn’t know how to make money in the officialdom, but he made a fortune by selling goods, it’s really nothing to say.”

It turned out that this was the case, Wang and Zhang finally had some points in their hearts after hearing this.It's really unexpected that the Wang family has become so rich, and Wang Hui is also big-hearted, and even thinks about throwing things back when the army goes out to fight... But how much money can they earn?
Zhang's family is engaged in this kind of internal and external business. She knows that although the profit of selling goods can be doubled several times by taking this road, it refers to selling goods all the way from the Silk Road to the Western Regions. There was not much profit in transporting things into Datang, because Tuyuhun didn't produce any valuables at all.

While the two of them were thinking, the remaining noble ladies started talking with everyone one after another, and Mrs. Yang participated in the discussion with a smile.

After Yang came to Shanzhou Cheng, he lived in seclusion and did not participate in social activities. Now when he opened his mouth, everyone was surprised to find that Yang had a good way of advancing and retreating, and immediately made the atmosphere of the meeting very lively.

This made Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang feel quite uncomfortable. Originally, they had no chance to speak among these women in the pass. Now that a woman from the top noble family of Mrs. Yang started socializing with all her strength, the two of them It was instantly compared.

When this group of women talked about what they had seen and heard in the Guanguan, the two of them couldn't even get in the middle of the conversation, so they could only sit there in silence, inevitably feeling a little jealous of Mrs. Yang's performance today. , the show begins.

Everyone looked up to the stage.In New Year worshiping Buddha, in addition to lighting lamps to pray for blessings, there are also performances and entertainment as usual. Today’s performance is a story of Buddhist scriptures. The theater troupe on the stage is composed of various nationalities. Many of them have tall noses and deep eyes. They look like barbarians. , This is not uncommon in temples at this time. After all, a large number of Buddhist monks came from the Western Regions these days.

Everyone lives in a place like Shanzhou where entertainment is scarce, and there are not many opportunities to watch the theater every year. It is very rare to have such an opportunity to enjoy the performance, so they all started to watch with great interest. At this time, Wang and Zhang Seeing that Mrs. Yang turned her head, she said to the steward beside her, "Wang Ji, what's on this stage, I'm too old, I can't see clearly, bring my glasses."

Then Wang Ji backed away with a promise, and the people around him couldn't help being curious. A woman asked Yang, "Old lady, what kind of glasses are you talking about?"

Mrs. Yang smiled when she heard the words: "Oh, it's not my ineffective son. This time when he went to conquer Tuyuhun, he met some people from the Western Regions in Tuyuhun. They said that they made a kind of crystal mirror there, which can make old eyes Even a fainted person can see things clearly after wearing it, and he felt filial piety when he heard about it, and got a few pairs back, and I tried them on and they seemed to work, so I bought them after watching a theater today.”

Everyone was curious when they heard the news. Most of the aristocratic women these days do not leave their homes. In addition, although these women live a good life at home, they still have to do something on weekdays out of female moral training. Needlework hurts the eyes even more.

By the age of 40 or [-], women generally have begun to lose their eyesight.At this time, when watching the performance on the stage, most of them can't see clearly. Wang Shi was disturbed by hearing it, and deliberately asked Yang Shi: "Then old lady, what is on stage? You can tell us first."

Yang Shi glanced at her and laughed, stretched out his fingers and explained all kinds of things on the stage clearly, Wang Shi couldn't help being surprised, she could really see it.

Everyone was even more envious after hearing this.

Seeing everyone surrounding her glasses admiringly, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang couldn't help muttering inwardly. Mrs. Wang muttered, "What's there to be proud of? It's just that my son picked up some weird things from the battlefield." It’s just coming back, who hasn’t.”

Mrs. Zhang also responded in a low voice: "Yes, yes." But what I was thinking in my heart was that I would also ask my father to go to the Western Regions to get a few pairs of glasses back, and let my sister Wang and I also wear them to show off in this Shanzhou city. , can't let this old annoyance succeed alone.

At this time, the play had been going on for a while, and everyone saw that Mrs. Yang was watching comfortably, and finally a noble lady couldn't help but asked: "Old sister, can you wear this mirror for me too, I also want to see this treasure from the Western Regions." What kind of miraculous effect does it have, I will go and get a pair soon."

Mrs. Yang laughed when she heard the words: "This thing is not easy to make. My useless son said that he also snatched these pairs of glasses from others, and he committed murder for it. He When I snatched it, I heard the owner say that this thing is very rare even in the Western Regions. Usually, I can’t buy it in the market even if I want to.”

Hearing what he said, everyone was whispering for a while, although they didn't know how many times Mrs. Yang was going to say the words of this incompetent son, and his tone was so proud and complacent, but they had never used glasses before. In the upper hand, Yang boasted so much, but everyone wanted to wear it even more.

The noble lady couldn't help but begged: "Since my sister is like this, please lend me this good thing to try on."

Mrs. Yang glanced at her and said with a smile: "Sister, you can wear it when you want, but these glasses still have prescriptions. How can everyone wear the same mirror with different eyes? When my son got it back, he brought back a pair of glasses. Of these, only this one is suitable for me, but my sister may not be good. So I asked my servant to bring the whole box of glasses, and my sister tried to see which pair is good, and then lent you to take it. "

Everyone was surprised when they heard that this thing actually had so much exquisiteness. Soon they saw Wang Ji bring up a rather beautiful iron box, and once he opened it, there were more than a dozen pairs of glasses neatly placed inside.

Those glasses were just street goods in later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty, the neat and clean imitation amber plastic looked very exquisite, with more than a dozen pairs lined up, seeing the situation, everyone didn't say how effective the glasses were, but they naturally felt it first. A feeling of precious glasses.
