“My second uncle found it on the black market. He used to be the second master of the Earl’s mansion, so he has some connections,” Yun Zhourong explained.
“The Earl’s Mansion, no wonder.” Ji Minxiu nodded in understanding.
"By the way, Snow Fairy, my second uncle would like to ask you how those down jackets are made. Could you please tell me the method?"
Yun Zhourong suddenly remembered Yun Hongxuan's instructions and quickly said, "He was thinking of spreading this method in the future to benefit the people."
"Your second uncle is a man of great integrity."
Ji Minxiu was a little surprised, and then he noticed that the safety buckle was getting hot. He could only quickly say, "This is fine. I'll write you a letter when I get back and explain in detail."
After he finished speaking, he found that the person had already returned to the study.
The temperature of the safety buckle is slowly fading.
"Sure enough, getting hot meant the time was up, but why did it suddenly cool down just now..."
Ji Minxiu racked his brains trying to recall the details of his meeting with Yun Zhourong. Suddenly, he thought of her slender, fair wrist, and an idea popped into his head: "Could it be... physical contact?"
He recalled the entire scene of his previous meeting with Yun Zhourong.
Indeed, he did not have any physical contact with Yun Zhourong the second and third time, so the time he spent with him was the shortest.
The others had some contact with each other, which extended the timeframe.
This time, the safety buckle, which had quickly become hot, cooled down after touching Yun Zhourong's wrist.
Ji Minxiu thought about it more and more and felt that this speculation was very likely, and thought that he would definitely try it when he saw Yun Zhourong later.
After that, he started writing a shopping list.
A packet of salt, a whole box of black ballpoint pens, two loose-leaf notebooks, and one hundred taels of silver.
Then, remembering that Yun Zhourong was currently in exile and would have to face the wind and snow, I bought her a scarf, hat, earmuffs, gloves, as well as face cream and lip balm. I also bought her some small bread rolls and milk that were easy to carry around.
Finally, there are women's watches.
After finishing writing, Ji Minxiu called over his assistant, Lin.
"Boss, we've investigated the background of that assassin. We found him on a bounty list on an external website."
As soon as Assistant Lin arrived, he solemnly placed the documents on the table. "Your bounty, converted to Chinese yuan, is approximately seventy million."
Ji Minxiu sneered, "Besides the matriarch of the Ji family, who else would want me to die so much?"
"Boss, it seems you'll need to bring more bodyguards when you go out from now on!"
Assistant Lin said worriedly, "Especially since you took the lead in this charity auction, those people will probably be even more restless now."
"Yes, I trust you to handle all of this."
Ji Minxiu nodded and handed the shopping list to Assistant Lin, asking, "Can you buy this classic watch?"
It was a women's watch with a colorful dial, a bezel fully set with diamonds, large T-shaped diamonds and rough diamonds, and a gold woven strap. It was luxurious yet tasteful, and very elegant.
"The dial of this watch is made of high-grade black opal, which looks like an oil painting. It is a classic model from Pico. Although it is a bit old, it can still be found."
Assistant Lin was extremely excited at this moment. He was becoming more and more certain that his boss definitely had a girl he liked.
After Assistant Lin left, Ji Minxiu wrote a reply to Yun Zhourong, mainly answering questions about the materials of the down jacket and socks.
He wrote:
The outer fabric of the down jacket is made of a unique chemical fiber from the future, which the Dasheng Dynasty cannot currently produce, but it can be used to make cotton overcoats...
At this point, Ji Minxiu paused, then opened his computer to look up historical materials on clothing during the Dasheng Dynasty.
Only then did they realize that the Dasheng Dynasty did not yet have cotton.
Wealthy families used animal hides and silk, while ordinary people mostly used hemp and paper for clothing.
In summer, people wore hemp clothing, but in winter, hemp clothing provided very limited insulation. Just then, during the Dasheng Dynasty, papermaking technology matured, and ordinary people turned their attention to paper made from tree bark.
Of course, this paper clothing is specially processed, making it not only flexible and thick, but also non-breathable, thus providing excellent warmth.
Upon seeing this, Ji Minxiu remembered the clothes Yun Zhourong wore that day.
He couldn't help but chuckle and rubbed his forehead.
He initially thought the little girl was stupid, unaware that it was a perfectly normal way to keep warm at the time.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
If you don't specifically look into it, how could you imagine that paper can be used to make clothes? If you told people, they would laugh at you for having such a wild idea.
Of course, no matter how good paper clothes are, they can never compare to cotton clothes.
He thought for a moment and then continued writing, "Cotton coats are made of cotton. Cotton is not only suitable for making fabric and cotton clothes, but also for making cotton quilts, which are very soft and warm."
Cotton thrives in warm, sunny conditions, but the weather in the Great Sheng Dynasty is not suitable for its cultivation. You are still in exile, so taking the seeds would be useless.
I will send you the cotton seeds when the time is right.
As for the watch, the method of use is…
After Ji Minxiu left, Yun Zhourong took off her watch and hid it in her pocket.
This watch looks very expensive, so I absolutely cannot lose it.
"Grandma, I brought you something delicious..."
"Ouch..."
However, just as she excitedly walked to the vicinity of the cowshed carrying her things, she saw Old Madam Yun being pushed to the ground by a dark figure.
"grandmother!"
Yun Zhourong was greatly alarmed and immediately cried out.
Upon hearing the noise, the figure immediately ran in another direction.
"Someone... stole eggs... hehe..."
After saying just two sentences, Madam Yun suddenly clutched her chest and began to gasp for breath.
"Grandma, grandma!"
Yun Zhourong disregarded everything else and rushed forward anxiously, saying, "Grandmother, your heart condition has flared up again. Where are the heart-nourishing pills?"
"No...no..."
Madam Yun shook her head laboriously, her mind wandering, unable to speak.
"What should we do... Second Uncle... Second Aunt, where are you? Where did you go?!"
Yunzhou shouted anxiously into the cowshed, but received no response.
Seeing that Madam Yun's condition was deteriorating, she decisively stood up and said, "Grandmother, wait for me, I'll go to the post station to find a doctor!"
Although she had some knowledge about heart disease, she could even prepare the heart-nourishing pills that the matriarch of the family took.
But at this moment, there was no medicine available, and even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.
They ran desperately toward the post station, and luckily there was a doctor there; the other person was practically dragged there.
Although she had a lot of theoretical knowledge, she had never actually treated a patient. For the safety of Madam Yun, she brought the doctor with her.
"Grandmother, the doctor is here! Doctor, please save Grandmother!"
"Hehe... soft..."
However, after glancing at Yun Zhourong, Old Madam Yun trembled and closed her eyes completely.
The doctor was startled and hurriedly went to check on him.
After a moment, he shook his head and said, "She's already passed away. Please accept my condolences, young lady."
"No...no way...how could this be...Doctor, I beg you, please save my grandmother! There's still hope!"
These words struck Yun Zhourong like a bolt from the blue, leaving her mind blank for a moment. She then began to kowtow repeatedly to the doctor.
