It looks so disgusting, forget it, I'll let Huaer try it some other time... ... Li Shu muttered to herself while she was destroying the erotic picture in the bathroom.

When Li Shu finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, she found Zhu Pingan sitting in front of the dressing table, drawing something with his eyebrow pencil.

Why did this bad guy ruin my eyebrow pencil

Li Shu walked forward curiously and found that Zhu Ping'an was drawing on a piece of rice paper with an eyebrow pencil. He had drawn a strange, long object with wings.

"What are you drawing?" Li Shu asked curiously.

"Well, how should I put it, this is called a sanitary napkin." Zhu Ping'an raised his head, paused and explained.

Zhu Pingan drew the sanitary napkin because when Li Shu got out of bed to wash up, Zhu Pingan saw her menstrual belt through her pajamas. When he saw it for the first time, Zhu Pingan was very surprised and thought Li Shu was wearing T-back pants. It really looked like it, but it was a little wider.

However, Zhu Ping'an soon realized that what Li Shu wore was a menstrual belt.

Although Zhu Ping'an didn't know a lot, he knew that sanitary napkins were much more advanced than menstrual belts in terms of physiological hygiene and comfort.

Sanitary napkins are not difficult to make. The first generation of sanitary napkins were made by wrapping cotton fibers and paper pulp with soft cotton cloth to make long cotton pads with wings. They were convenient and practical, allowing girls to be elegant, agile and capable during their menstrual period. This was a revolution for girls.

"What is a sanitary napkin?" Li Shu looked confused.

"That's it..." Zhu Ping'an told Li Shu all the relevant knowledge he knew, including practices and advantages, selecting the key points.

"Bad guy! Why are you, a grown man, researching these things..."

Li Shu was both shy and annoyed and grumbled, but in her heart she was deeply moved by Zhu Ping'an's care and consideration.

It is said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, not to mention these matters of girls. Other men would already think it is bad luck, but this fool actually studies those matters of women for his own sake.

How could Li Shu not be moved by this

And it sounds like it would be very useful. Why don’t we ask the embroiderer to try making a few tomorrow? If they are really useful, then we girls will enjoy it in the future.

You can also buy this stuff in rouge and powder shops...

The moon is still bright and my heart is filled with joy.

The next morning, before dawn, Zhu Ping'an had already left the Linhuai Marquis's Mansion and rode to the Ministry of Personnel accompanied by Liu Mu and Liu Dadao. Because he was assigned to inspect the Sun Silver Treasury, he did not have to go to the Wuyi Palace Sizhi during the inspection.

Liu Guangzuo, the chief inspector of the Taicang Silver Treasury, is the right vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel. According to the arrangements of yesterday's mobilization meeting, Zhu Ping'an reported directly to the Ministry of Personnel and awaited Liu Guangzuo's arrangements.

When they arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhu Ping'an asked Liu Mu and Liu Dadao to go back, and he went into the Ministry of Personnel alone.

When Zhu Ping'an arrived, Gao Rui, a doctor from the Ministry of Works' Office, and Si Nan, the Censor-in-Chief, had already arrived. Zhu Ping'an stepped forward to greet the two men, then found a place to sit down and wait.

After a long while, Deputy Envoy Qu Tongyang finally arrived.

Qu Tongyang looked unhappy, as if he was worried. After entering the room, he glanced at Zhu Ping'an and the other three, cleared his throat, and announced a piece of news, "I was just informed that Liu Zhengshi came to the capital from his hometown last night to report the death of his uncle. Lord Liu's uncle has grown old. Lord Liu lost his father when he was young and was raised by his uncle. To Lord Liu, his uncle is like his father. Lord Liu was very sad to hear that his uncle had passed away. He submitted a letter of 'mourning' this morning and has now set off to return to his hometown in Yanggu County to mourn..."

Dingyou was a ritual system in ancient feudal society, which only applied to officials.

According to the Confucian idea that "filial piety is the first of all virtues", if an official's parents, grandparents, etc. pass away while he is in office, no matter what official position he holds, he must resign from his post and return to his hometown to observe mourning for 27 months starting from the day he receives the news of the death.

ah

Liu Guangzuo returned home after mourning? !

Zhu Ping'an had a strange look on his face when he heard this. He always felt that the timing of Lord Liu's mourning was too coincidental. Moreover, mourning was only observed after the death of immediate relatives such as parents and grandparents. In the Ming Dynasty, there were strict regulations on mourning in the laws. Generally, one needed to go home to mourn after the death of parents, and there was no need to mourn after the death of grandparents.

Lord Liu's uncle passed away. Although he was raised by his uncle and his uncle was like a father, it is a bit far-fetched.

Like Zhu Ping'an, Gao Rui and Si Nan were also very surprised at the news that Lord Liu had returned home after mourning.

"Although Lord Liu has returned home for mourning, we cannot put down our work of inspecting the Taicang Treasury. At this critical moment, I, Qu, will not be polite. From today on, I will be in charge of the overall inspection of the Taicang Treasury. I hope that everyone here will cooperate with us and work together to do a good job and not let down His Majesty's expectations of us."

Deputy Envoy Qu Tongyang glanced at Zhu Ping'an and the other two, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and encouraged everyone with great enthusiasm.

Qu Tongyang's overflowing positivity and encouragement made Zhu Ping'an look at him with new eyes.

Qu Tongyang's words swept away the gloom of Liu Zhengshi's mourning and made everyone active again.

"Lord Qu is right. We will definitely cooperate with you." Zhu Ping'an and the other two stood up and replied.

"Okay, I'm relieved with your cooperation. Let's start now without further ado. Today, we will borrow Lord Liu's office, and then go to my place in the Dali Temple tomorrow to handle the matter." Deputy Envoy Qu Tongyang nodded with satisfaction, and led everyone to start working in the Ministry of Justice with great enthusiasm.

In fact, there was nothing to do. The main reason was that there was not much information. The historical records and account books of the Taicang Silver Vault had not been handed over yet.

At noon, Deputy Envoy Qu hosted Zhu Ping'an and others for lunch, and then continued to be busy in the Ministry of Justice for the whole afternoon.

Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Deputy Envoy Qu reminded everyone to go to the Dali Temple on time the next morning to handle his official business, and then everyone returned home.

Early the next morning, Zhu Ping'an went to the Dali Temple early and was the first to arrive.

Not long after arriving, before I even found Deputy Envoy Qu's office, an official from the Dali Temple informed me of an extremely speechless piece of news.

Last night, Deputy Envoy Qu worked overtime at the Dali Temple until late at night. Unfortunately, illness attacked him mercilessly, leaving this conscientious man bedridden... ...

Yes

Deputy Qu caused him to have a stroke.

He is still lying in the duty room of Dali Temple.

The official led Zhu Ping'an to the duty room, where he saw Deputy Envoy Qu, who was lying on the bed, drooling. When he saw Zhu Ping'an coming in, he excitedly stretched out his hand, babbling for a long time without saying a word. In the end, he was so angry that he wanted to pound the bed, but his hand moved for a long time and couldn't fall down... ...

Okay.

The Oscars owe you a trophy.

Zhu Ping'an suppressed his irritation and stepped forward to hold the hand of Mr. Qu, comforting him against his will, "Master Qu, take good care of your pregnancy. No, take good care of your health."
