Su Wanyan kept this matter in mind, and when she got back, she would investigate whether she had any other enemies in Wengcheng.
"Your Majesty, are there other places you'd like to take a look at?"
Su Wanyan nodded: "Okay."
After returning to the city from outside, Qiu Ye took Su Wanyan to a private residence.
An elderly couple lived in the house; no one else was seen.
The elderly couple looked bewildered when they saw Su Wanyan, but their eyes instantly warmed when they saw Qiu Ye and Huang Ye.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Wanyan stopped Qiu Ye from introducing her.
Qiu Ye immediately understood and simply said that she had brought a friend to visit.
The elderly couple had no suspicions and invited the group into their house.
Inside the courtyard of the house, there is a newly built small house.
This is what Qiu Ye wanted to show Su Wanyan.
According to Yi Qiuye, most of the people who still live in Wengcheng have built such a small house.
It is specifically used for burning stones.
The method of keeping warm that Su Wanyan left behind before she left was adopted by the people of the city. They would put the collected stones in the hut and burn them until they were warm enough, then take them into the room and spread them under the bed.
If you time it right, it will last just one night.
"Last winter, thanks to the Empress's methods, most of the people in the city survived the severe cold."
Su Wanyan was in a good mood: "You are the ones who did all this, so the credit should all go to you. I didn't do anything."
She really didn't do anything, and she didn't expect these methods to actually work.
It must have undergone experimentation and improvement.
“Sister, there’s no need to be modest. If it weren’t for your ideas, they wouldn’t have been able to put them into practice,” Su Chi’en said, following behind Su Wan’yan.
"You're quite generous," Su Wanyan said, amused.
Su Chien looked at Su Wanyan with bright eyes and a proud and smug smile on his face: "I just think my sister is good, everything she does is good."
Otherwise, how come the county magistrates of Wengcheng, who have changed one after another, never thought of such a good method?
It was all thanks to his sister.
"You have a sweet tongue, whatever you say is right," Su Wanyan teased with a smile.
She looked at Qiuye and Huangye and said, "Take me to the city again. I want to see what I can buy here to take back home."
Women really can't live without shopping, at least for Su Wanyan, she's currently thinking about buying things.
Yesterday, seeing that Qiu Ye and Huang Ye's complexions were dry and yellow, and that their skin had become rough after only half a year in Wengcheng, Su Wanyan thought about buying some moisturizing balm.
Everyone loves beauty, and Su Wanyan is no exception. Not to mention taking good care of herself, if she had the means, she would never want to look like an old woman at such a young age.
Of course, she also had to buy autumn leaves and yellow leaves. She had left enough money for these two little girls before she left, and she didn't intend to take good care of them.
However, after wandering around the city, she discovered that it wasn't that she didn't want to take good care of herself; she simply couldn't find any good cosmetic shops. The so-called cosmetics she found were all of very low quality.
The people here are struggling to make ends meet, let alone dress up. They wear coarse linen clothes and simple headscarves; it's unlikely anyone would buy rouge or face powder.
Originally, she was looking for perfume, but she couldn't find any. So, Su Wanyan simply browsed every shop. She would even ask merchants who were traveling to Wengcheng about their goods.
But none of them sold perfume balm.
At the end of the day, Su Wanyan returned empty-handed.
However, this did not affect Su Wanyan's mood.
As soon as she returned to the residence, Mingyu came to greet her: "Your Majesty."
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"The repairmen have arrived and are waiting in the side hall. Would Your Highness like to see them?"
"Oh dear!" Su Wanyan suddenly realized, "I forgot about that."
Yu Nanqing said yesterday that the repairmen would be coming to the mansion today.
"Take me there quickly!" Su Wanyan said anxiously, "Don't keep them waiting!"
“…” Mingyu hesitated, having already waited a whole day.
To repair the mansion, a repair plan must first be drawn up. It's already getting late today, and there's simply not enough time to explain in detail. Feeling apologetic, Su Wanyan gave her master a few taels of silver, hoping he could make another trip tomorrow.
The original plan was to renovate the general's mansion. The craftsmen were extremely apprehensive, knowing that important figures lived there.
Let alone leaving it out for a whole day, even for two or three days, I wouldn't dare complain.
However, to his surprise, Su Wanyan gave him money as soon as she arrived and asked him to make the trip again the next day. He was flattered and overwhelmed.
"No, no, no!" the craftsman hurriedly declined. "Your Highness is busy today. I will come again tomorrow. This silver is absolutely unacceptable."
How can you collect money before the work has even been done?
He didn't have much work to do in Wengcheng to begin with, and his skills were almost lost.
Now that he's finally landed an order, he can't be so unruly.
Su Wanyan wanted to say something, but the craftsman had already bowed and taken his leave: "This humble one will take his leave now, and will come again tomorrow."
"..." Su Wanyan had no choice but to hurriedly call out, "Mingyu, see Master off."
Seeing that he had disappeared from sight, Su Wanyan plopped down on the old armchair, sighed, and frowned. Hmm, besides the mansion renovation, had she forgotten something else?
I racked my brains for a long time, but still couldn't remember.
Well, if something really happens, it will come to me. If I can't remember, it's probably not a big deal.
“Your Highness, I would like to reiterate that this plan is extremely dangerous. I hope Your Highness will reconsider.” Just as he was lost in thought, Lu Cezhong’s bold voice suddenly came from outside: “However, if Your Highness is determined, I will do my utmost and obey Your Highness’s orders.”
Tired from shopping, Su Wanyan suddenly perked up, stretched her legs and stood up, quickly walking to the door.
"Your Highness, have you arranged for the Empress to be protected? Do you need me to dispatch troops?"
Su Wanyan, who was about to call out, gradually slowed down. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they hadn't finished talking yet, so she decided to wait a little longer.
However, that figure had already entered Yu Nanqing's peripheral vision. He turned around and looked directly at her, his serious expression instantly turning into a bright smile: "Yan'er!"
The discussions, while not exhausting, were tedious and boring, and he felt that Lü Cezhong had too many concerns and always disagreed with his strategies.
Yu Nanqing understood that having suffered a loss in the East China Sea, he would be extra careful. Moreover, although his plan was indeed dangerous, he was confident in his abilities.
If only I had called more people over, there would have been someone who could argue with Lü Cezhong. But thinking about it, Lü Cezhong is the only former general left in the Dragon Flag Army.
Whenever he thought of this, Yu Nanqing would always keep quiet and let him nag.
