Chapter 50 glasses

Harvey walked over to wake Shirley. As soon as her right hand touched her shoulder, she saw the willow eyebrows move. Shirley opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Harvey in front of him with a gentle smile, as if he realized that his polite smile had changed. It was embarrassing.

Harvey looked at her and said with concern: “Shirley, go to rest when you are tired, don’t worry too much about the illustrations, we still have plenty of time.”

“It’s only eight o’clock in the evening, so I don’t need to rest so early. Then I will wash the master’s clothes first.” Shirley stood up and arranged the exquisite illustrations in front of her and said in a hurry. I couldn’t help yawning.

Harvey thoughtfully: “Go to bed early and get up early. Soaking your clothes at night will make it easier to clean up the stains. Well, you can go out with me at ten o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“Yes.” Shirley was quiet and didn’t ask why Harvey wanted to take her out.

When the time came the next day, Harvey, who had changed his clothes, just came downstairs and saw Shirley in a gray-brown plainclothes. The top was similar to a women’s suit. The chest and cuffs were decorated with a lot of lace. The skirt was a normal long skirt. The overall style is still relatively common in this era. In this world, the best basis for judging a woman’s identity is actually her hair. Women below the populace usually don’t spend a lot of time to tidy up their hair, nor do they have professional servants to help them dress up. Shirley wears a small top hat and her hair is coiled up casually. She doesn’t dress too much but she also gives a dignified and elegant impression.

Harvey also has a lot of his own clothes, all left by Harvey Adrian. Now he usually wears the popular styles of this era, the same thin pants, suits and white shirts. He came to Shirley and stared at Shirley for a while and praised: “Shirley, it’s been a long time since I saw you wearing anything other than a maid outfit. It’s so beautiful.”

Shirley smiled generously and somewhat shyly, pulling on her long skirt and saluting: “Thank you.”

Harvey personally opened the door and made a gesture to her. After going out, he put his right hand in front of his lower abdomen.

Shirley didn’t react for a while, and she hesitated for a while before she put her right hand on Harvey’s right hand and stood side by side with him: “Master, is it okay to walk together like this?”

The way two people join hands is generally only used by women or couples in close relationships.

Harvey smiled: “I’m afraid passers-by say I am not worthy of you, dear Miss Shirley, today you are not a maid but an elegant and beautiful lady.”

“Yes, everything is up to the master.”

Harvey waved his hand to stop a carriage and ordered the groom to go to the largest supermarket in El Roy. Supermarkets are not uncommon in this era. They mostly target female customers, selling clothes, perfumes, jewelry, and expensive furniture. Arriving at the destination, Harvey got off the carriage and saw a three-story luxurious building in front of him. It was located at the junction of two streets. The customers who entered and exited were basically well-dressed women. Harvey held Shirley’s hand. Came to a well-known optical shop on the third floor.

The layout of the store is quite luxurious. There are various styles of glasses on display at the counter. There are more patterns than modern optical shops, some of which are gold glasses, there are strangely shaped monocles and hand-held glasses similar to magnifying glasses. Harvey I wonder if these glasses really work, especially the monocle that represents a gentleman, he hasn’t figured out how to put it on.

Myopia is a disease of wealth in this era, and only the rich can read the degree of myopia.

“Mr. Madam, what do you need?” The male clerk in the black suit came over and greeted respectfully. When he bent down, he unconsciously looked at the weird guests in front of him. Harvey is extraordinary, and he should be the dominant player. Next to Shirley, she was more noble and elegant than all the ladies and ladies he had seen, but her clothes were too ordinary.

Harvey retracted his gaze from the counter and smiled politely: “Yes, I want to wear a pair of glasses for her. Is there a mechanism for testing eyes here?”

“Of course, please come here.”

Shirley is a little nervous and grabs Harvey by the sleeve: “Master…”

Harvey bowed his head to her ear and whispered: “Let’s go, your eyes can’t see things far away. It just happens that part of the royalties for the novel have already been paid. If you don’t have a pair of glasses, you probably have to bow your head when you draw. Go and see, I don’t want to affect the quality of the illustrations because of this.”

Shirley knew the condition of her eyes, and she was a little hesitant: “But the glasses are too expensive.”

“Shirley, trust me, any illustration you draw is worth more than ten times the most expensive glasses here.”

The mechanics of testing myopia are not complicated. Simply rotate the lenses until Shirley sees the picture most clearly. Harvey also wears glasses before crossing. With modern experience, he directly instructs the shop assistant to reduce the degree of the glasses tested by 70. Degree, so that the eyes will not easily feel dizzy or tired.

After the configuration, I chose the more ordinary gold eye sockets, and the lenses were selected high-end lenses worth 420 barrons. This shocked the male mascot. Harvey and Shirley’s clothes were not too high-end but they chose one of the most expensive lenses. They laughed from ear to ear and hurriedly promised to personally by tomorrow afternoon. Deliver the glasses to Harvey’s mansion.

After matching the glasses, UU Read www.uukanshu.com Harvey continued to lead Shirley to buy several sets of clothes and new high-end maid outfits in one go in this supermarket. She was sure to replace Shirley’s previous clothes before leaving with satisfaction. .

In addition to shopping, he also found a company that specializes in arranging maids and hired several maids to help with housework and relieve Shirley’s pressure.

······

The next morning the glasses were delivered by the waiter himself.

On the sofa in the living room, Shirley carefully opened the glasses case, took out the glasses wrapped in silk handkerchief and circled them around. The crystal lenses looked more beautiful than any gemstone in her eyes. After putting on the glasses, her overall temperament became more gentle and intellectual. She stood up and curious about the decoration and arrangement of the customer hall. I have never seen the arrangement of this mansion so clearly, the pattern of each sofa, the color of the paintings, She had never noticed the dust under the window. As if coming to a new world, Shirley’s delicate cheeks showed a flush of excitement, her eyes became gentle and a natural smile bloomed.

“Shirley, how do you feel?” Harvey asked with a smile while standing in front of the handrail on the second floor. He heard the doorbell when he was creating “The Count of Monte Cristo” just now.

“Yes, very…very clear.” Shirley walked to the window, stretched out her finger to wipe the wooden frame, looked up at the dust on her finger, looked up at Harvey, embarrassed and whispered softly: “Never before. I have noticed the dust in this corner, and the guests will feel very rude when they see it.”

“Yesterday I said glasses are too expensive.”

Harvey couldn’t help but think for a while and wanted to say: “That’s right, the new servants will be here later, you tell them not to go to the second floor, and you will allocate all housework and cleaning.”

Shirley bowed to Harvey to be clear, and turned around again with joy to observe a clear scene that she had never seen before.
