  The nine sisters' crayons were not made, although the three masters and servants worked until very late.

  However, she didn't feel disappointed. Originally, she hadn't had high expectations either. The reason why she wanted to try it out ahead of time was just to be prepared.

  She actually made crayons in her previous life, during the summer vacation with a few students, and did it very successfully, but that was under the condition of having ready-made molds and various modern ingredients.

  But now, in this space-time that has fallen behind for more than two thousand years, it is naturally impossible to be so smooth. However, after a night of deliberation and discussion with the two native little girls by her side, she also had a perfect idea.

  This space has no calcium carbonate, well, isn't lime available?; No stearic acid, well, can use coconut oil instead, coconut oil is hard to find, but tea seed oil should be available; No adhesive, that's easy to say, glutinous rice paste plus egg white, if not used up can still eat it away; As for mineral oil, tung oil is quite common.

  In addition to these, the candles and dyes were readily available. The other day, in order to make those colored candles, Fourth Sister had just asked the woman at the door to buy several boxes of good dye, while the candles were obtained by Sixth Sister and Tenth Sister, with over a dozen packages.

  It all boils down to the mold in the end, which requires carpentry. This... needs to be planned from a long-term perspective...

  But...

  Looking out at the deep night outside, a smile slowly spread across Jiu's small and delicate face.

  I believe someone will solve this problem for her tomorrow.

  Although it was late at night when she fell asleep, Jiu Jie still woke up early. She got out of bed, washed and dressed, greeted everyone, and went to class... another day had begun.

  "You must remember the four virtues: first, womanly virtue; second, womanly words; third, womanly bearing; and fourth, womanly work. Womanly virtue means to be clean and untainted, to guard one's chastity and be modest; to have a sense of shame in one's actions and to follow rules in movement and rest. This is called womanly virtue. To choose one's words carefully and speak without malice, to speak at the right moment and not bore others - this is called womanly words..."

  On the stage, an old man with a dignified demeanor and a stern expression was speaking in a sonorous tone. As he spoke, his severe gaze fell on Wen Liu's sister who was sitting by the window.

  But Wen Liu's sister lowered her head, sat up straight, only the fists clenched tightly on both sides of her body revealed the impatience and anger of this spoiled young lady.

  Others also dared not breathe out, with a humble and obedient appearance.

  I'm afraid this Cloud Husband Master might get unhappy and go tattling, then everyone would have to kneel in the ancestral hall again or be punished by copying "Women's Precepts".

  The sunlight slowly climbed up the window frame, and after a long time, Yunfu finally ended his unrestrained speech, waved to the sisters, rolled up the two books on the desk, and walked out of the Qingya Pavilion.

  The sisters couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and also instructed the maid to pack up their trunks in preparation for leaving.

  "Alright, Sixth Sister, don't be angry!" Just then, a soft and sweet low voice sounded from the corner by the window.

  No need to guess, I already know who it is.

  The tenth sister immediately pouted and exchanged a glance with the fourth sister.

  Jiū jiě ér zé shì wēi wēi yī xiào, yī miàn zhǐ huī zhe qīng táo zhěng lǐ shū xiāng, yī miàn kàn zhe shēn biān de shí yī jiě ér lín zì.

  "What's the big deal, it's just a yawn, why make such a fuss about it? You're always nagging and complaining, you're really an annoying old man..." Wen Liu's sister said with a huff.

  "Sixth sister!" Wen Qiuni hastily interrupted her, fearing that Liu would say something even more serious. "I'll play a game of Go with you this afternoon, okay?"

  "Play a game of Go? Alright..." Wen Liu's sister finally relaxed a bit and nodded.

  "...that colored candle is not fresh, you can take one of the empty lip balm boxes from Fourth Aunt, and I'll help you make a more exquisite one, hmm...we can also ask the carpenter to make several small house-shaped or pavilion-shaped ones, making some more interesting ones."

  "Isn't that just a small house and a small pavilion with candles? Hehe, just thinking about it makes me feel amused..."

  Jiuer had already started chatting with Shiyi over there.

  The two people's words kept pouring into Liu Jie's ears, and Wen Liu immediately closed her mouth and perked up her ears to listen.

  "What's wrong, Sixth Sister?" Seventh Sister asked, looking at her.

  Sixth sister shook her head, stood up, and in three strides was standing in front of Ninth Sister and Eleventh Brother, scolding the two of them. "You kids are just playing around, and you're looking for a carpenter? Don't you know the difference between what's important and what's not? Do you think our family's carpenters have nothing better to do than be idle every day? Don't you know that everyone in the mansion is busy with Third Sister's dowry right now, who has time to bother with this?"

  When she finished speaking, the young Eleven was almost in tears, but Ninth Sister still smiled and said, "Sixth Sister is right, we sisters owe it to ourselves to think more."

  Looking at Jiu Jie's obedient attitude, Liu Jie let out a cold snort and didn't say much.

  Since the last time that lantern-making incident, Sixth Sister has made some progress in her attitude towards Ninth Sister, at least she no longer bothers her.

  Everyone quickly gathered their things and left the Qingya Pavilion, stepping onto the winding path.

  The fourth and tenth sisters were in the front, the sixth and seventh sisters were in the middle, followed by the timid eighth sister, and walking at the very back were the ninth sister and little eleven.

  "You really want to find a carpenter?" Liu Jie suddenly stopped in her tracks, turning her head to look at Jiu Jie and Shi Yi Jie who were walking and talking in low voices.

  "Uh..." The two of them were taken aback.

  "If you want to find it, I can help you; if not... forget it." The sixth sister said impatiently.

  "Of course I want to find it, Sixth Sister can think of a way best." Eleven was still in a daze when Ninth Sister smiled and said.

  "Sixth sister, after finishing your embroidery homework, can you also come to my place and take a look? That candle is really interesting." Ninth sister invited Sixth sister again.

  It just so happened that Liu Jie was pregnant with a girl, and this slightly mischievous and overbearing little girl didn't even pretend to be reserved for a moment before immediately agreeing.

  Of course, it wasn't just Liu Jie who went in the end. Qi Jie, Si Jie and many other sisters all arrived as well.

  The fourth sister came up with an idea, which was that everyone would take their needlework and tell others they were working together, but in reality, they would let the maids lock the door and have a great time.

  Liu Jie's face was indeed not small, and the mold for making candles was quickly set up. The crowd first made that creative candle, and finally, Jiu Jie again pretended to have a new idea and ordered the carpenter to make the wax pen mold.

  When the sun was slightly westward, Jiujie's first batch of crayons in this alien world were finally produced. Although there were only a few and their shape wasn't good, they delighted many sisters.

  No wonder, this crayon on this ancient rice paper is really clear and bright.

  Apart from this crayon, Jiūjiě also suddenly came up with an inspiration, using the extra tung oil and adding strong alkali to make a few bars of handmade soap.

  This was actually easier for her because in her previous life she often made and used this handmade soap herself.

  Handmade soap is more popular among the sisters than wax pencils, although it has not yet been demolded and the advantages of modern soap have not been fully revealed. However, the four elder sisters and seven elder sisters who love beauty and have a keen eye for things are eager to let Yatou pack some to take back home.

  Looking at the candles, crayons and soap that filled the table, Jiu's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of triumphant smile in her heart.

  Of course, the revolution is not yet successful——

  "Sixth sister, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have had this experience and fun."

  While all the sisters were admiring those things, Ninth Sister hurriedly flattered Sixth Sister.

  "Hmm, this is indeed the truth!" Liu Jie was already annoyed that all these good ideas were thought of by Jiu Jie, and now hearing her say this, she naturally didn't refute it. "It's not just that I spent a lot of effort gathering these materials, I also rewarded that carpenter with several taels of silver."

  "Hehe, thank you again, Sixth Sister!" Ninth Sister hurriedly said, and after finishing her sentence, she suddenly paused, looking thoughtful. "Sixth Sister, do you think someone will buy these things?"

  The sixth sister heard this and her eyes lit up, "Why don't we try it out? Let's put these things in the shop under my name that Mother left me..."

  ……

  By the way

  Hehe, Sixth Sister is arrogant and brainless, she should be taken advantage of, it's just that Ninth Sister exposed...
