In the half-plane laboratory, a three-meter-high furnace flickered with fire, and the conveyor belt next to it was wrapped in batches of glittering gold and silver jewels into the furnace, and in a few moments, these gold and silver jewels were removed from the chaff, infused with magic, and turned into a pile of square metal foil, transported out of another door, swallowed into the belly of the cow-shaped structure, and transported into the storage room.

Hey, Zhiyun stood aside and watched, but thought to herself, if the eldest brother knew that he was such a loser, I don't know if he would faint?

Even though there were eighteen ice arrays in the laboratory, it was still stuffy and hot, and after only staying in it for half an hour, Zhiyun couldn't stand it. After all, this body is not as thick as the previous one, and before this batch of materials was processed, she went home early, let the water be boiled in July and October, and prepare for bathing.

It's not that I don't want to wash in my own villa, but the so-called thrift is easy to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and there are ingenious little maids waiting in the house, but in the half-plane, before the careful and considerate construction of the servants is made, then everything has to be done by themselves, and Zhiyun has to temporarily give up the convenient jacuzzi in the villa.

In the bath, the milky white crystal clear liquid vaguely exudes a refreshing aroma, Zhiyun holds the glass high-waisted wine glass with one hand, looking at the golden honey rose dew inside, and pinching a round peanut with the other hand and stuffing it into his mouth.

Standing on the table next to the bath, there is a strange-looking blue eight-legged spider, which Zhiyun made casually with the leftovers of the floating city in his spare time, all of which are excellent materials, so it is not as hideous as the real spider, but it looks very delicate and beautiful, its limbs are flexible and sharp, gently sweeping the ceramic plate, the peanuts inside are separated from the husks, and the plump and lovely peanut kernels are divided into the white porcelain plates, and the peanut shells are into the wooden barrels on the ground.

July and October held a jade box, and carefully applied the silver ointment inside to Zhiyun's green silk, as the ointment seeped into the hair, the long hair that was already like a waterfall became more shiny and soft, and even October, the little girl who had been combing her own hair, was a little lovely.

Zhiyun used to think while bathing, and sometimes she would think about her alchemy experiments, so in this bathroom, there was no noise except for the sound of gurgling water.

As October's slender jade hand kneaded and hammered on Zhiyun's head, a small round ball the size of a fingernail slipped out of the gap in her hair and staggered up along Zhiyun's arm.

Hearing only a plopping sound, July and October lowered their heads, and watched the little thing get into the glass cup in Zhiyun's hand, the two girls looked at each other and shrugged, they were already surprised by this situation, and they continued their own work, just as if they didn't see anything.

After a while, the golden rose dew disappeared without a trace, and the little thing in the cup burped, shook its round belly, stretched out its four little short legs and began to climb up the cup, but it was a pity that it was too difficult for such a little thing to walk on the smooth wall of the cup, and it rubbed the tea up and down, and was still lying under the cup, and the little thing turned its head, and finally whimpered impatiently—

Bang –

The glass cup exploded, and the small thing that was originally only the size of a fingernail turned into a slender snow leopard with beautiful silver-white spots on its body in an instant.

"Heavy death." Zhiyun hugged Yang Yang, who was putting a big head in her face, and scolded in a low voice, "Be smaller." ”

Yang Yang rolled obediently, became the size of a domestic cat, turned over and floated on the water, revealing a snow-white belly, and Zhiyun reached out to gently stroke its belly, as if squinting his eyes very comfortably, and even a gurgling hissing sound came out of his throat.

October and July watched as Gege and her magical pet frolicked in the water, and quickly cleaned the pieces of the cup out of the bath.

This bath took more than an hour after washing, and Zhiyun was dressed up with the help of two maids, and Mama Cui, who came over a little, unfolded a fox fur coat and wrapped Zhiyun tightly.

This Cui Mama was released from the palace, because she didn't want to get married, and she was just in time for Mingde to find a nurturing grandma for Zhiyun, seeing that she had good rules, she was also good-looking, and her temperament was kind, so she invited her back, and somehow, this Cui Mama fell in love with Zhiyun when she saw Zhiyun, who was only nine years old at the time.

Mingde was still puzzled at first, worried about whether there was something wrong with this Mama Cui, but after careful investigation, he saw that she was indeed innocent and had no connection with outsiders...... In the end, I can only sigh that people's fate is wonderful, and my baby girl is liked.

"Gege, the slave has boiled a bowl of black sesame paste, you drink it while it's hot, it's good for your body." Mama Cui protected Zhiyun and leaned outward, firmly blocking the cold wind from the outside, not letting Zhiyun blow to the slightest.

Zhiyun nodded, and when she saw that the light in the study in front of her was on, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Big brother didn't go to Wenyuan Bookstore?" ”

Today's Wenyuan Book Club is not only the capital, within four years, Mingde opened fifty-eight book clubs all over the country, all of which are to ask the first Xiucai to help take care of it, and sometimes temporarily recruit some scholars who are ready to participate in the scientific examination, from poor backgrounds to help, so that they can have a job to make a living, and have enough time to study, anyway, open a book club, and now I don't expect it to make money, Mingde just wants to rely on it to get a good reputation, and there is no need to hold it in his hands, so it is very easy to manage.

Moreover, more contact with literati is also a good thing for Mingde.

Let's just say that this year's Kangxi Ye's fiftieth birthday, hundreds of officials are all paying birthday gifts before the southern tour, what gold and silver saddles, precious satin, a lot of all kinds of birthday gifts, at that time, Zhiyun put all the money in the family to buy materials, the hand is very tight, there is no money left, Mingde thought about it, simply asked the scholars of Wenyuan Books in various places to help, and wrote 10,000 different life words with himself, and then embroidered it into a screen and sent it.

As a result, among these birthday gifts, although Mingde Jin was not precious, he was only appreciated by Kangxi. also rewarded Mingde with a lot of things, which can be described as a sure win.

"Uncle and Uncle are chatting in the study." Listening to Zhiyun's inquiry, a smile flashed in Cui's eyes, and she lowered her voice and said, "Gege might as well go and see, I heard that the housekeeper of my uncle's hometown came to the capital, and in front of Master Zhang, I cried a handful of snot and tears, that old housekeeper has served the Zhang family for three generations, and now he is over eighty years old, and Master Zhang can't do anything about him, in order to avoid him, one of the two masters of the Zhang family has entered the palace, and the other has come to hide from our family." ”

Zhiyun paused, and then remembered that he seemed to have heard the eldest brother say that in Tongcheng, the hometown of the Zhang family, it seems that someone has sued Zhang Ying, and I don't know what is going on......
