"Bang!"

Qingtian felt so dizzy that he hit his head on the table.

There was such a loud noise that both Meng Yu and Ye Xianglei were startled.

"What's wrong?"

"Does it hurt?"

Meng Yu quickly checked Qingtian's forehead and found that there was indeed a small red spot.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Gao quickly took out the medicinal oil and asked, "Do you want to rub it on?"

Ye Xianglei was also very nervous and regretted his previous suggestion. He went over to her and blew on the red mark on her forehead and asked, "Qingtian, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's okay." Qingtian didn't care at all, but was more interested in the glasses in his hand and said, "Uncle, what good thing is this?

"It looks different from the glass on the snuff bottle just now!"

“These are glasses, for people with presbyopia.

“As people get older, their eyesight blurs and they can’t see clearly.

"If you look through glasses, you can see much more clearly than before.

"But for people like us who don't have presbyopia, using this will make us feel dizzy and everything we see will be distorted."

After hearing what Ye Xianglei said, Qingtian became more interested in this thing called glasses.

She didn't dare to look directly through the lenses anymore, but just took the glasses from Ye Xianglei and looked at them carefully.

This thing called glasses is made of two round pieces of glass, inlaid with a silver frame, and connected together to make an arch in the middle that can be placed on the bridge of the nose.

There is also a silver rod next to the right lens, which is used to lift the glasses so that they can be held in front of the eyes to see things.

Because this thing was shipped back from the West, its original purpose was to be sold to rich people.

Therefore, the frame and the silver rods on the sides are made very delicately, with Western-style carvings on them, and the corners are slightly gold-plated.

After watching this, Qingtian no longer had any interest in pipes and snuff.

After all, she often heard Mr. Cen say that he was old and couldn't see clearly.

No one knew there was such a good thing before.

If this can really help Mr. Cen see things clearly again, he will definitely be very happy, right?

Qingtian was overjoyed. He looked at the glasses over and over again, and asked a little worriedly, "Uncle, everyone with presbyopia can use these to see things clearly, right?"

“Don’t worry, this is not the first time we have sold these glasses.

"We've sold several this year alone, and no one has said anything bad about it!"

Shopkeeper Gao, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Qingtian, you are not a stranger.

"If the old man doesn't feel comfortable or used to it after buying it, just take it back and return it."

He thought Qingtian was afraid of wasting money, but he didn't know that Qingtian wanted to give Mr. Cen a surprise.

If the glasses weren't as effective as Ye Xianglei said, then her surprise would be greatly reduced.

But in the end, she still chose to believe Ye Xianglei and asked, "I want this one. How much is it?"

Generally speaking, a pair of Western glasses sold in ordinary shops would cost about four or five taels of silver.

This type of glasses is usually made by bringing lenses back from the West and then pairing them with frames made of ordinary materials.

However, the glasses from Linglong Pavilion are made of Western craftsmanship, including the outer frame, and come with a very exquisite Western-style box.

Shopkeeper Gao found the account book and checked it. He said, "Miss Qingtian, to be honest, if I sell this pair of glasses to an outsider, I'll have to charge at least twenty taels of silver.

“But if you want it, I will honestly tell you the cost price.

"Fifteen taels of silver, you can take it, how about that?"

"Okay!" Qingtian nodded without hesitation.

Seeing Qingtian spending the money so happily, Meng Yu felt both distressed and relieved.

I feel bad because I think this thing is too expensive.

Xinwei felt that Qingtian was a thoughtful child who was willing to spend so much money and effort to choose a birthday gift for Mr. Cen. The old man might be so happy that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Ye Xianglei was also astonished, although he was already surprised when he saw Qingtian pouring out so much silver from his purse.

But seeing her spending fifteen taels of silver in one breath without changing her expression, I couldn't help but think to myself, it seems that the Qingtian family has made a lot of money in the past few months!

But in fact, this was entirely because Qingtian had no idea how much silver it was.

The silver in her purse was basically stuffed into her by Mr. Cen every now and then, finding some excuse or other, so that she could keep it for her to spend or use.

But Qingtian was sent to the Qin Mansion every morning, taken back to the store at noon, and then returned to the Cen Mansion with his parents in the evening.

From morning to night, I have no worries about food and drink, and there is no chance to go out and spend money.

So she naturally didn't feel bad about saving so much money and using it to buy a gift for Mr. Cen.

What's more, she had heard Qin Hexuan say before that anything related to the West would be sold at a very high price.

Linglong Pavilion is one of the best Western-style shops in Beijing.

Even the building blocks made by my uncle before were sold at more than ten times the price of ordinary building blocks.

So isn't it perfectly normal to spend more than ten taels of silver in Linglong Pavilion to buy a satisfactory birthday gift for Mr. Cen?

Qingtian happily returned home on Feixue, carrying the gifts he had bought.

Mrs. Ye and Boss Ye were still busy in the kitchen, and Boss Cen was resting in the room. No one knew that Meng Yu had secretly taken Qingtian out.

Only Xiaoye ran out from somewhere and kept barking at Qingtian who was riding on Feixue's back, as if accusing her of not wanting to play with him after returning home, and now bringing back such a big guy.
