People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Cao Ze's gaze shifted downwards, and his eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the glossy white stockings covering the slender legs of Xue Nu and Li Ji.

He knew that Xue Nu had always treasured the stockings given to her by Ya Fei, but she wasn't used to wearing them and had just kept them.

Upon seeing the Snow Woman in white silk, he was immediately overcome with an urge to hug her and cherish her.

In comparison, Li Ji's white silk stockings did not make her look as three-dimensional as the Snow Woman's, but rather made her appear slender and younger, like a young female student who had not yet fully grown up.

Cao Ze wondered what Jing Ni would look like in white stockings and high heels.

Frankly speaking, the stockings of the Qin Dynasty are fundamentally different from modern stockings.

The same applies to high heels.

The high heels we know today can even be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The most well-known item is the wooden clog.

Modern-style high heels are generally used as formal shoes, and are more professionally known as "cloud shoes".

Basically, only high-ranking officials, noble ladies, and daughters of wealthy families with high social status were qualified to wear it.

It's not that ordinary people can't wear them, but rather that the materials needed to make high heels are hard to come by, and the manufacturing process is very complicated, which is why the price remains high.

Just like Jingni's high heels, which are made of deep-sea fish skin, they are exceptionally tough and wear-resistant.

Moreover, although they appear to be high heels unsuitable for combat, they have always been designed for combat.

Having a sword tip embedded in the toe of the shoe and a tiny arrowhead hidden in the heel are basic techniques.

However, walking well and gracefully in high heels is not an easy task; it requires a lot of practice.

It is said that the story of "Imitating the Way of Handan" which was ridiculed back then was about learning how to walk in high heels.

As for the materials used in stockings, they are actually much cheaper than high heels.

One gold coin can be used to order one.

The main material is silk.

The reason they come in different colors is because they are made by weaving together special cloud-like threads.

In addition, the elasticity of the silk is excellent, making it a perfect substitute for the elastic silk, which led to the creation of the stockings we see today.

The only downside is that it's not wear-resistant and tears easily.

Seeing Cao Ze's enthusiastic expression, Ya Fei coughed lightly and slowly got up.

I was speechless, yet also found it quite funny.

Could it be that she discovered Cao Ze's flaws?

When she thought about how Cao Ze had been rumored to be a lecherous scoundrel, she didn't take it seriously, believing that Cao Ze was a talented and upright gentleman who had been wronged and slandered.

Now that they've known each other for a while, she can sense that Cao Ze seems to really like beautiful women, so calling him a lecher isn't an exaggeration.

However, he is very good at controlling his behavior.

If it weren't for her keen observation skills and the fact that Cao Ze didn't seem to care about seeing his bad side, she wouldn't have been able to easily see through Cao Ze's true colors, which ironically made her have a deeper impression of him.

If it weren't for Xue'er, she could have mentioned it to the Crown Prince and offered her as a gift.

It's a pity that Xue'er is here...

Ya Fei walked gracefully to Xue Nu and Li Ji, slightly blocking Cao Ze's view.

Cao Ze had no idea what Ya Fei was thinking.

But a soft cough, like that of a nightingale, brought him back to his senses.

Looking at Ya Fei's alluringly curved back, which blocked his view of the beauty, he leisurely sipped his tea.

Good grief, they won't even let us watch anymore.

But seeing three beauties, one big and two small, moving around in front of him, he had to admit, he felt a bit dazzled.

If one day, all the girls in Qin Shi were surrounding him, wouldn't that be incredibly awesome?

What are you thinking about?

After finishing her work, Xue Nu knelt down beside Cao Ze, picked up her teacup and took a sip. Seeing that Cao Ze was still lost in thought, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Um...it's nothing, I was just thinking about what I should focus on in my studies these past few days, since the Hundred Schools of Thought Study is almost over."

Cao Ze skillfully fabricated a reason.

If the Snow Maiden knew he was plotting to collect the beauties from Qin's Time, she'd probably give him a few light punches on the spot.

The snow woman's eyes revealed a faint look of admiration.

When Ya Fei and Li Ji came over and heard what Cao Ze said, they snorted softly. They didn't believe that Cao Ze would be thinking about lecturing at this time.

I need to keep a close eye on Li Ji, lest the young girl be deceived by this scoundrel.

Outside, a cold wind was blowing, but inside, it was exceptionally warm and cozy.

Cao Ze chatted with Xue Nu, and if it weren't for Ya Fei watching from the side, he would have liked to chat with Li Ji as well.

Just now, Ya Fei said that no matter how many women he had around him, as long as he didn't betray Xue Nu, it was fine.

But now we're keeping a close watch on him at all times, it's really...

Women, oh women, your minds are so hard to fathom.

At the beginning of Shenshi (3-5 PM), Cao Ze walked along the snowy street with his hands in his pockets.

Because the Hundred Schools Society was being held in Handan, and because of the famous sayings he uttered yesterday, there were many more students of the Hundred Schools Society walking around on the streets.

The consequence was that he was beaten up... He was greeted all the way, forcing him to take a back alley to Sun's timber shop.

The luxurious wooden bed he ordered was finished today.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left Feixue Pavilion early. Wouldn't he have been unhappy being surrounded by beauties in a warm room?

Cao Ze walked into Sun's Timber Shop. When Boss Sun saw his patron enter, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Mr. Cao Ze, your friend's bed is ready and waiting for you. It is made of the finest Phoebe zhennan wood, and we guarantee that you will like it."

"Haha, Mr. Sun, you're so kind."

Cao Ze took out three gold notes worth ten gold coins and placed them on the table.

Although Phoebe zhennan wood is extremely rare in later generations, it was not considered too precious at that time.

Mr. Sun was all smiles. With the deposit of sixty gold coins, he had a total of eighty gold coins.

He thought to himself, "I never imagined that General Li Mu's grandson was so rich."

If he comes to my door again, I'll offer him a good price and make a quick buck.

Cao Ze looked at the finished golden nanmu bed, took a sniff, and smelled a unique camphor wood fragrance.

The fragrance is subtle with a hint of agarwood, and it also seems to have a rich floral and fruity aroma, clearly indicating that it is made from old wood, not new wood.

The fragrance of freshly made Phoebe zhennan wood is light and medicinal.

Mr. Sun introduced with a smile: "The bed is made of Phoebe zhennan wood. It is not cold to the touch in winter and not hot in summer. It is very comfortable and is basically the best choice for distinguished people. You have really thought of your friends, sir."

He secretly pondered that most families had double beds, even nobles and wealthy merchants.

The idea of ​​building such large three- or four-person beds is almost like having two birds flying side by side.

This grandson of Li Mu is quite the expert.

Cao Ze nodded; he understood what Boss Sun was saying.

However, this is not the reason why he chose Phoebe zhennan wood.

The main reason is that I was traumatized by the solid wood wardrobe in Yafei's bedroom a few months ago.

Golden nanmu is relatively much lighter.

Of course, there's also the aroma.

Besides repelling mosquitoes and insects, it also has the effects of invigorating the spleen and removing dampness, strengthening the kidneys and consolidating the body's foundation. Long-term exposure can improve sleep quality.

He knew so much because his beautiful boss suffered from insomnia.

I always tell him how wonderful it would be to sleep on a bed made of Phoebe zhennan wood, as it would definitely improve his sleep.

Then he realized that the beautiful boss needed mugwort.

He has always had a lot of experience in how to improve his beautiful boss's insomnia.

I was so tired that I naturally fell asleep.

Hmm, I'll try it out with Li Wu and Jing Ni tonight.

Chapter 149 Inhuman

P.S.: It has been approved, please don't be offended.

After Cao Ze finished preparing the large folding bed, he did not rush back to Qingping Residence to find Jing Ni to practice their dancing together.

Instead, they went to Li's Pharmacy.

Confucius said, “A craftsman who wants to do his work well must first have the right tools.”

To give Li Wu special treatment, we must use the best methods.

He, Cao, never fights a battle unprepared.

"Pharmacist Li?"

Cao Ze tapped on the sandalwood counter.

The gray-haired pharmacist, Li, opened his eyes on the wooden chair and saw a familiar face.

"Mr. Cao Ze? Ah, what brings you here?"

He didn't recognize Cao Ze when Cao Ze came to buy clove oil.

Now Cao Ze is known to almost everyone in Handan, so he naturally knows him.

Do you have any clove oil left?

Cao Ze said without changing his expression, "My friend was very satisfied last time, and needs more this time."

Now he's become a big celebrity in Handan, so he can't keep coming over to buy clove oil.
