Bordeaux ushered in another ordinary morning. Before the enemy retreated, they were still eyeing outside the city.

On the comfortable velvet bed in the Governor's Mansion, it was just dawn, and the sound of grinding ink made Margaret open her eyes. She saw that Chen Jiujing had already put on white satin loose long sleeves and trousers, sitting on a chair and writing something quietly with a brush. The candlelight emitted a faint light, and the man's straight back and wide back were incredible under the excellent material texture.

The bedside table was filled with pocket watches belonging to Chen Jiujing between Yin and Mao. It was just over five o'clock, and the sound of personal soldiers sprinkling water to clean the courtyard was heard outside the window.

This city that has been sleeping all night is about to survive.

Margaret stretched out her comfortable laziness, put on a thin blanket and walked to Chen Jiujing and asked softly: "Why didn't you go running?"

There were already sounds of personal soldiers running around the yard in the Governor's Palace. Every morning in Bilbao, they would run around the barracks or streets, and they would not go back to have dinner until they were tired.

"Awaken? Tell me, I'll finish this letter. The baggage ship set off for Spain this afternoon and asked them to help me take the letter back." Chen Jiujing did not hide Margaret's idea. He chuckled and said, "How to make a mercury mirror."

Chen Jiujing did not hide his thoughts from Margaret, but Margaret didn't care about this matter. She lost interest and curled her lips. She wrapped herself in a blanket and walked back to the door halfway by Chen Jiujing: "Put it out before going out."

Get dressed before going out?

Margaret had no choice but to spread her hands, and went back and put on her clothes and asked, "What's the use of writing these? You should go to Venice to see. Everyone knows how to make mirrors and glass, but only Venetians do it well."

"You don't understand anything." Chen Jiujing had finished writing the letter. He blew the undried ink traces and turned around and said, "The Ming Dynasty can do it with just one glance, and it is better than anyone in the world."

"Our God must be asleep."

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

Chen Jiujing's maid brought a copper basin containing warm water, which was exquisitely carved and painted with kids playing football. There was also a large wooden box with black and gold painted trees, grass, long swords, samurai, fans and women. It was a gold-painted Tang style painting box that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the governor who was loyal to him on the Japanese archipelago, paid tribute to him.

Her maid also came, carrying a tin basin containing cold water, a thick deer-skin roll and two small tin boxes with crosses carved on it.

Chen Jiujing's young maid spread a straw mat blanket on the ground, knelt and placed the copper basin and the lacquer box on the left, and asked the Margaret maid to place the tin basin, tin box and deer-skin roll on the right. He opened the gold-drawing lacquer box, and there were nine lacquer boxes with the same gold-drawing paintings, one by one. He first put a Sulu long towel next to the copper basin, and then took out two teacups with cracks from it and placed next to it. The cup lids of the two teacups were different, one was the little tiger head and the other was the little lion head.

Except for a jade-handled toothbrush and a jade-handled beard knife, the other seven wooden boxes are filled with powder, paste and other utensils.

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

Margaret's side was much more trouble-free. Two yellow-haired maids showed off the deer-skin rolls, opened the tin box and put it in, and it was over.

These two actions were learned from Chen Jiujing's maid.

The barefoot Chen Jiujing took a step forward and sat cross-legged. He first picked up the tiger-head teacup and poured it into his mouth and held it in his mouth. Then he slowly vomited it into the lion-head teacup. Then he picked up the jade-handled toothbrush and slowly brushed it with white tooth powder paste.

In fact, every time at this time, Margaret always felt extremely frustrated. She bulged her mouth and knelt down and took out a chewing stick that could be used for two weeks from the parchment roll and stuffed it into her mouth to chew it. Looking at Chen Jiujing's toothbrush, she was full of envy.

When Chen Jiujing picked up the jade handle, he punched three rows of eighteen uniform holes at the end, and fixed eighteen toothbrushes made of ponytails, boar bristles, deer hair, rabbit hair, etc., which were made of different soft and hard animal hair, and brushed her teeth gracefully, but she could only hold this small wooden stick and stuff it into her mouth to chew it?

She felt it was meaningless to spend years in the court to learn how to walk gracefully, burp, keep weight and blow your nose.

Of course, she was also worried that she would silly dip her fingers with her antlers, horse teeth, shells and nuts to stuff the ashes from burnt into her mouth and touch them on her teeth after chewing them.

Then Chen Jiujing began to wash his face. This was the most painful time. He looked at a man active in the war, with a delicate and shiny face than a woman, using a variety of fragrant and complex cleansing soaps to clean the beard and oil stains on his face under three different processes, and then carefully cut the beard to look.

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

Who is the noble noble?

What made her particularly sad was that Chen Jiujing was too gentle and understanding. When Chen Jiujing, who had washed his face, walked towards the large wooden barrel that had already made hot water for him, he comforted Margaret softly and said, "It's okay, Margo, wait for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to arrive in Seville again. They will bring you these things, don't wait too long."

Isn't it good to pretend that I don't see my envy?

The same situation also happened when they led their troops into Bordeaux. The bad habits from Paris caused the people here to open the windows early in the morning according to the law and shouted "Be careful, be careful, be careful!" Then they poured the wooden barrel mixed with feces and urine on the street, so that the streets were always muddy and smelly, which made Margaret feel embarrassed.

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

At first, Margaret, who didn't know what was going on, replied with a silly smile: "The same is true in Paris. The palace tried to tell the people not to do this, but it was useless. Later, they allowed them to shout three times before falling down."

What can Chen Jiujing say? He could only say softly: "Because the sewer in Beijing was not built properly during the construction, the streets would be more dirty, but the people should be much more polite, it doesn't matter, Margo, I will educate them."

Then, when the Ming army entered the city and went door to door to check the weapons of the people, the Ming army issued the first law to this point: prohibiting the pouring of feces into the street, and paying for a manure pickup, so that the people could put the shit and urine bucket at the door before dawn every day, and a special person would take it away.

Later, Margaret learned that in the Ming Dynasty, no one poured manure on the street, and naturally there were no high heels... Europe also used manure as fertilizer, but which king would send people to collect manure and send it to farmers? They wished they would never deal with dirty things for the rest of their lives.

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