Bordeaux had another ordinary morning, and the enemy had not yet retreated, still eyeing the outside of the city.

On the comfortable velvet bed in the governor's palace, the sky was just dawning, and the sound of grinding ink made Margaret open her eyes, and she saw that Chen Jiujing had already put on white satin loose long sleeves and trousers, sitting on a chair and writing quietly with a brush, the candlelight was faintly shining, and the man's straight back and broad back were infinitely beautiful under the excellent clothing.

On the bedside table, there was a pocket watch belonging to Chen Jiujing, and the hands were between Yin and Mao, and the time was just a little past five o'clock, and the sound of soldiers sprinkling water and cleaning the courtyard was already heard outside the window.

The city, which had slept all night, was about to come back to life.

Margaret stretched out her comfortable waist, put on a thin blanket and walked to Chen Jiujing's side and asked softly, "Why didn't you go for a run?" ”

In the courtyard of the Doge's Palace, there was already the sound of soldiers running around the courtyard, and in Bilbao they would run around the barracks or the streets every morning until they were tired before returning for dinner.

"Awake? Speak to the maid, I have finished writing this letter, and the baggage ship will depart for Spain this afternoon, and let them help me bring it back. Chen Jiujing didn't hide Margaret's thoughts, he smiled lightly and said, "How to make a mercury mirror." ”

Chen Jiujing didn't hide Margaret's thoughts, but Margaret didn't care about it, lost interest and pouted, wrapped in a blanket and walked halfway to the door before being called back by Chen Jiujing: "Get dressed and go out." ”

Get dressed and go out?

Marguerite spread her hands helplessly, and asked as she got dressed, "What's the use of writing this, you should go to Venice and see, everyone knows how mirrors and glass are made, but only Venetians do it well." ”

"You don't understand, anything." Chen Jiujing had finished writing the letter, he blew the ink that had not dried, and turned around and said: "Da Ming can do it with just a glance, and he can do it better than anyone else in the world." ”

"Our God must be asleep."

Margaret smiled and went to look for the maid outside the door, and after a while, the maid brought out by Chen Jiujing from Japan led two personal soldiers and two Margaret's maids to carry their toiletries.

Chen Jiujing's maid brought a copper basin filled with warm water, delicately carved with a picture of a child playing football with braided hair, and a large wooden box painted in black and gold with trees, grass, long knives and samurai, fans, and women, which was a gold box of Tang style paintings paid tribute by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the governor loyal to him in the Japanese archipelago.

Her maid also came, carrying a tin basin of cold water, and a thick deerskin roll and two small tin boxes with crosses carved on them.

Chen Jiujing's young maid laid out a straw mat blanket on the ground, knelt down and put the copper basin and lacquer box on the left, and asked Margaret maid to put the tin basin, tin box, and deerskin roll on the right, and opened the gold-painted lacquer box, which contained nine lacquer boxes that were also painted with gold or round or square, and opened them one by one, first put a Suluo scarf next to the copper basin, and then took out two teacups with broken cracks and put them beside them, the lids of the two teacups were different, one was a little tiger head, and the other was a little lion head.

In addition to a jade-handled toothbrush and a jade-handled razor, the other seven wooden boxes contained powder, paste and other utensils.

After doing all this, the maid turned to the desk and knelt down silently.

Margaret's side was much easier, and the two yellow-haired maids unfurled the deerskin roll and opened the tin box, and it was over.

Just these two movements were learned from Chen Jiujing's maid.

Chen Jiujing, who was barefoot, walked over and sat down cross-legged, first picked up the tiger head teacup and poured it into his mouth, and then slowly spit it into the lion's head teacup, and then picked up the jade-handled toothbrush and slowly brushed it with white toothpowder paste.

In fact, Margaret always felt extremely frustrated at this time, she sat down on her knees with her mouth puffed out, took out a chewing stick from the parchment roll and stuffed it into her mouth to chew, looking at Chen Jiujing's toothbrush with bright envy.

When Chen Jiujing picked up the jade handle, there were three rows of eighteen uniform holes at one end, and eighteen toothbrushes made of animal hair of different softness and hardness, such as horsetail, pig bristles, deer hair, and rabbit hair, were fixed in the holes to brush her teeth elegantly, and she could only hold this small wooden stick and stuff it into her mouth to chew?

She felt that there was no point in spending years at court learning how to walk gracefully, burp, maintain weight, and blow her nose.

And, of course, the stupid way of wiping a teething stick into her mouth with her fingers stained with antlers, horse teeth, shells, and nuts and groping around her teeth.

Then Chen Jiujing began to wash his face, this is the most tormenting time, watching a man who was active in the war with a face that is more delicate and shiny than a woman, using a variety of fragrant and complex facial soaps, in three different processes to clean the beard and oil stains on the face, and then carefully cut out the appearance of the beard.

And she, the princess of one of Europe's most noble families, the French royal family of Valois, has only a damn piece of cold soap and a basin of cold water.

Who is the noble noble?

What especially saddened her was that Chen Jiujing was too gentle and understanding, and when Chen Jiujing, who had washed his face, walked towards the big wooden barrel that had already made hot water for him, he comforted Margaret softly and said, "It's okay, Margot, when the merchants of the Ming Dynasty arrive in Seville again, they will bring you these things, don't wait too long." ”

Wouldn't it be nice to pretend not to see my envy?

The same happened when they marched into Bordeaux with their army, and the bad habits that came from Paris caused the people to open their windows early in the morning and shout three times, 'Be careful, be careful, be careful!' Then she poured the bucket of dung and urine into the street with a clatter, so that the street was always muddy and stinking, and Margaret was embarrassed.

Especially Chen Jiujing, who was riding on a horse, frowned slightly behind his mask: "I heard that Bordeaux is not your small city, why are the people?" ”

Marguerite, who at first did not know what was going on, replied with a stupid smile: "It is the same in Paris, the palace tried to keep the people from doing this, but to no avail, and then allowed them to shout three times and then fall." ”

What can Chen Jiujing say? He could only say softly: "The southern city of Beijing will be dirty because the sewers were not done well when it was built, but the people should be much more polite, it doesn't matter, Margo, I will educate them." ”

Later, when the Ming army entered the city and followed the door-to-door inspection of the people's weapons, they issued the first decree of the Ming army so far: it is forbidden to pour dung on the street, and paid to hire a dung picker, so that the people can put the feces and urine bucket at the door before dawn every day, and someone will collect it.

Later, Margaret learned that in Daming, no one poured feces on the street, and naturally there were no high heels...... Europe also used manure as fertilizer, but which king would send someone to collect manure and distribute it to farmers? They want to live their lives without dealing with dirty things.

Margaret couldn't take a bath, she could only scrub herself with water, spray perfume, and wait for Chen Jiujing to soak comfortably in the big wooden barrel, then usher in a new day.

On the new day, Henry woke up.
