Accompany Da Vinci's Super God Day

So she actually watched him put on bones all afternoon, and later even put on her own with gloves on.

Compared with the gaudy gadgets at the assembly, those leather masks and glasses in the shop, it seems that this human skeleton is quite interesting after a long time.

By the time she came to her senses, the two had already started to arrange the poor man's thighs and calves.

——This is definitely not a hobby.

Heidi was distracted for a long time, and Da Vinci's progress was not smooth - he was a little unclear about the source and whereabouts of some of the broken bones, and they looked no different from the bones left over from being gnawed by dogs.

"Having said that," she subconsciously started a topic: "It's a miracle that Madame Medici's body is still so healthy."

How powerful does a woman have to be to give birth to nine children in one go?

Da Vinci compared the two different finger bones to the candle, and said casually: "She and Mr. Lorenzo have always been good friends."

The two of them are obviously a couple.

Heidi groaned and continued to help him straighten his shin.

She suddenly began to recall, those plastic surgeons who helped her face lift and liposuction without any experience, are they like me today, a freshman and acquaintance again.

"At that time, when Mr. Lorenzo first became the lord, he was still too young." Da Vinci was also idle and bored, telling old stories here to her, a foreigner: "In addition, there are several other families. Watch out, the Medici cannot fully gain a foothold, and may be robbed of power and wealth at any time."

"...So?" Heidi thought of a routine operation: "Political marriage?"

"Ah."

Clarice Orsini was born in a foreign country, and the family itself has a strong military force.

The Medici family is a banking family with strong wealth.

After the combination of the two, they joined forces to further strengthen the entire Florence.

"What do you think Lorenzo is like?"

Heidi thought for a while.

The first thing she thought about was whether Da Vinci was sent to set the scene.

Second, how is the secrecy here?

——But everyone in the lower class knows that this place is similar to a morgue, and the upper class will not condescend to come here. In fact, it is already considered a semi-closed secret space.

She was silent for a while, but still chose to speak her inner thoughts.

"politician."

It is not much different from those American politicians hundreds of years later.

The city is deep, scheming, his emotions are invisible, and he likes to observe and control others.

Da Vinci suddenly laughed.

"You think the same as I do."

He raised his head and plucked a bone like a bagpipe.

"Since he came to power, the celebrations in Florence have become more grand every year, and the carnivals and performances have been round after round." Da Vinci put together the last few bones, vaguely feeling a little distorted: "People will More love and awe."

Close to the people, benevolent, generous.

But after the Bloody Mass, it was brutally appropriate.

He was indeed a born politician.

Heidi thought for a while, and then said, "Then what kind of person do you think I am, Mr. Leonardo?"

Da Vinci paused, and looked at her under the light of the candle.

Those light blue eyes were crystal clear, and her long black eyebrows were different from those of the women in the city.

If you only talk about appearance, she must be a beauty.

"You..." He thought for a while, then put down the things in his hands.

"More like a masker."

Tolerant, tame, lenient, and seemingly easy to manipulate.

But also hide all the real emotions and thoughts.

Heidi didn't expect him to say these words.

She has long been used to protecting herself like this.

Many words suddenly gushed out from the bottom of her heart, making her want to confide a few words, but she was subconsciously pressed down again.

It is better to seal some lonely and old memories.

She just raised her head and smiled, then turned around and fiddled with the candle to make the light brighter.

"It's almost time to go back."

However, the next morning, a nervous and eager guest came to the Lord's Palace.

He not only came, but also brought many gifts.

Mr. Lorenzo has always been generous to commoners and merchants. He not only sponsored many painters in the city, but also maintained contacts with many people.

And it was Mr. Alessio who walked into the office with gifts.

"I...I want to propose to the alchemist in your palace, Miss Keithler." When he laughed, even his cheeks were rosy.

The atmosphere in the office seemed a little weird.

Maximarius moved a little uneasily.

"Why?" The lord asked indifferently.

"She saved my mother, and I simply don't know how to repay her. And——she is indeed too beautiful." Alessio was immersed in passionate fantasies, and his tone of voice was particularly cheerful: "Although I come from an ordinary background, but I am willing to treat her as the best girl in the world and not let her suffer a little bit."

Their family has opened businesses in many places in Florence and Venice, and the family is still relatively rich.

If she gets married, at least she doesn't have to be hired as an envoy in the lord's palace, and she often has to look at people's faces.

After getting married, if she likes it, she can stay in the palace and continue working.

If they didn't like it, they went to live in a garden with a small river in Venice. Their family also had a mansion in Milan.

Lorenzo responded blankly, and ordered, "Let her come over."

The busy alchemist was quickly called over.

When Heidi saw the familiar grocery store owner, she subconsciously said hello: "Is your mother better? Does your heart still hurt?"

"According to your instructions, I have been much healthier than usual recently." Aresio showed a shy expression, and his eyes glowed eagerly.

He took a step closer and said earnestly, "Miss Heidi Keesler, would you like to be engaged to me?"

Heidi was stunned for a few seconds: "What?"

"Please marry me, you are so beautiful, kind, and elegant," Arecio said a step forward, "You saved my mother, and you didn't take any money, our whole family is very—"

Heidi took a few steps back and forced a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need."

The six marriages in her previous life had taught her enough lessons.

Marriage, she had thought, was an escape from one refuge to another.

But in fact, it is to escape from one trouble to another bigger trouble.

What's more, the courtship came so inexplicably that it made people feel a little confused.

"I will give you happiness." Alessio showed a panicked expression, trying to calm her emotions: "I just want you to be blessed and protected, to have a home, and after you get married, you can also live a prosperous and happy life." comfortable--"

The lord said unhurriedly: "You mean to say that I treated her badly in the Palace of Ducale, don't you?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that."

The young man is clumsy and simple, but his eyes are always looking at her, as if he is still waiting for an answer.

Heidi began to seriously consider whether she had given him words that could easily be misunderstood as hints.

No, absolutely not.

"I understand your loyalty and kindness." She stepped forward and saluted: "But I have no plans to get married, and I am very happy at work. Thank you for your care and love."

While saying these words, Heidi lowered her eyes slightly to avoid seeing her, and didn't look at the hurt expression on the other side.

There are some things where the boundaries are clear.

The average age of marriage in the Middle Ages was about teens, but even if you really don’t marry at the age of 30 or [-], as long as you don’t get scolded by your parents, it shouldn’t be too bad.

If it doesn't work, she can forcefully bind her alchemy to herself, and it shouldn't be a problem to use dogma to resist marriage.

——Absolutely don’t have those troubles in your previous life.

Alessio didn't give up, and stammered to explain to her.

Heidi only declined and thanked him repeatedly, and then watched him leave the palace in a daze.

Lorenzo sat at the table and watched the whole process, glanced at the girl who bowed and left quickly, bowed his head and continued to write the document.

About half an hour later, the sound came from the office again.

"Keshma."

"exist."

"Perhaps Mr. Alessio can get a more decent job in the service of the Medici family in a few months' time."

For example, the housekeeper of a villa in the suburbs.

The incident didn't bother Heidi for long.

She had rejected the courtship of many people in her previous life, and now she would just repeat the same old story.

Compared with those who have nothing, there is one thing that seems to be more worth looking forward to——

Easter is coming.

There are only ten days to the first Sunday after the vernal equinox.

It is said that the bishop will use mechanical pigeons to hit the carriage filled with fireworks, turning the whole carriage into a rotating pyramid-shaped fireworks, as a blessing and entrustment for the new year.

There are also all kinds of delicious snacks and weird celebrations, which will appear in turn until the whole city is in a carnival.

I heard that the strong men will hold up the orange tree and spin it endlessly, and paint the eggs all red.

Heidi thought for a while, and realized that she was distracted again while writing the thesis.

At this moment, the door was knocked a few times, and De Qiao hurriedly walked over to open the door.

"Heidi—" Da Vinci appeared at the door holding two little rabbits: "Look at this!"

The author has something to say: [Da Vinci is the male protagonist] [You can also call him dear Mr. Leonardo] [The rumors of homosexuality & asexuality are unsubstantiated/the charges were withdrawn due to lack of actual evidence]

I didn't have time to reply to the comments before, because the next door is also coming on the double opening day, so I will give a unified answer today =. =

Medieval happy pets

(Originally published in City Pictorial)

Translated by FoinseOCaoimh

Compared with modern alternative pets such as poisonous spiders, boa constrictors or lions, the tastes of medieval Europeans were much more "normal", basically limited to those fluffy and docile land four-legged mammals.

Of course, pets, as a "full-fed" life interest for human beings, are always a luxury that only those who have no worries about food and clothing can afford, especially in the Middle Ages when people were generally poor and short-lived.Even in the aristocratic class, small animals that are completely used to pamper and relieve loneliness are not common, and it was only after the Renaissance that the court really became popular.

In the Middle Ages, it was sometimes difficult to distinguish between pets and farm animals.It is not uncommon to let cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks sleep in the house due to the narrow living area or the need to keep warm. Poor farmers sometimes regard pigs and lambs as treasures in their palms or playmates for children.While not every species is sold for meat, domesticated animals are almost always raised for the service and value it can provide.

Take a dog as an example, it is the barrier of the home and the guardian of the owner.For nobles and kings who live in castles surrounded by powerful enemies, I am afraid that only the loyalty of dogs can be trusted (Figure [-]).

Hunters and nobles relied on their dogs to hunt. After the owner shot a rabbit, deer or pheasant with a bow and arrow at a distance, he had to rely on the hunting dogs to track the injured prey and drag it back. Speed, it is basically impossible to retrieve the prey.

Dogs in those days were lean, slender breeds, ranging from the tall, stocky deerhounds to the petite rabbit-hole terriers.A four-panel painting (picture [-]) fully summarizes the functions of dogs: watching sheep, chasing deer, hunting rabbits and avenging their masters.

Cats were bred for their mouse-catching skills, especially in barns and monasteries where leather books were to be protected.With the exception of cats, medieval monasteries discouraged monks and nuns from keeping pets—whether for utility or pleasure—because pets were a waste of food and a distraction from meditation.

In my column, I once wrote about the comfort and troubles that cats brought to the monks in the scribe room, and the boring time of the nuns spinning in picture [-] has become less difficult to pass because of the cat who is fond of playing with the spindle.

A study manual for nuns clearly warns: "Dear sisters, unless there is a special need, and with the approval of the superintendent, you must not keep any other animals except a cat, and make sure that the cat does not disturb others and does not occupy Your time, don't take it to worship or singing."

But just like in the modern female dormitory, the caring and lonely little nuns always secretly raise a large litter of cats, and the cats give birth to cats, and there are endless shortages of children and grandchildren, which makes the auntie of the dormitory very headache!

The top spots for the most popular pets in the Middle Ages also included squirrels and monkeys.

I have heard that squirrels are wild and difficult to keep, but medieval manuscript illustrations occasionally show red squirrels hopping around noble ladies wearing jeweled collars (Figure [-]).It is said that noble ladies often hide squirrels in muffs or under their skirts, and it is uncomfortable to think about it.Monkeys are not native to Europe, but are mostly imported from North Africa or Asia. They are very popular at court because of their funnyness and intelligence.

However, if monkeys make trouble, the energy level is not comparable to that of cats, dogs and squirrels!The two monkeys in Figure [-] conspired together, one wore the clothes of a servant to steal the plate, and the other poured a large amount of water into the plate, [-]% of them wanted to take advantage of the crowds at the banquet to play tricks!
