Doctor Mo asked curiously, "Madam's condition is due to overexertion and exhaustion. What did the General have Madam do?"
Lu Yanzheng pursed his lips, naturally unable to tell Doctor Mo the truth.
However, Doctor Mo misunderstood and shook his head and sighed, "Young man, you should take it easy, especially you, General. You are young and vigorous. Although your wife is healthier than others, you can't be so careless with her!"
Lu Yanzheng: "..."
Jiang Qinyu, who had just woken up: "..."
Still groggy, Jiang Qinyu opened her eyes as soon as she woke up, and immediately heard Doctor Mo's words. She then felt as if a flock of crows were flying overhead.
When Lu Yanzheng saw that Jiang Qinyu was awake, his ears turned red instantly, and he quickly stepped forward to ask, "You're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Jiang Qinyu really wanted to say that she hadn't felt uncomfortable at first, but her face was getting hot right now.
Unfortunately, she wasn't that thick-skinned. She looked at Doctor Mo and said, "I'm fine. And this is..."
Lu Yanzheng introduced the two to each other and helped Jiang Qinyu up.
Seeing Jiang Qinyu's listless appearance, Doctor Mo said earnestly to Lu Yanzheng, "General, you still need to exercise more self-control!"
Even with their thick skin, Lu Yanzheng and Jiang Qinyu both blushed this time.
Jiang Qinyu was still very weak. After Lu Yanzheng sent Doctor Mo away, he immediately asked Uncle Zhao to make food for Jiang Qinyu.
"General, we only have a few red dates and goji berries left in our manor. I used them all this afternoon to make porridge for the lady, and it's just the right time to eat them. I'll go and bring them over right now," Old Zhao said with a cheerful smile.
Lu Yanzheng gave him a strange look but didn't say anything.
But Uncle Chen added, "Madam has worked hard; she certainly deserves some nourishment."
Seeing their smiling faces, Lu Yanzheng immediately realized that they had misunderstood.
This is something that's hard to explain no matter how hard you try. Lu Yanzheng could only shake his head with a wry smile and go back to his bedroom.
He wasn't a heartless blockhead; he knew very well whether Jiang Qinyu had feelings for him or not. At least for now, they were just the closest strangers.
...
"I actually slept for so long?" If Shufan and Pan'er hadn't told her, Jiang Qinyu wouldn't have believed that she could sleep so long.
Lu Yanzheng sent the two children to the next room. Just then, Uncle Zhao brought over the porridge, so he sat down by the bed with the porridge, intending to feed it to Jiang Qinyu.
"I can do it myself." Jiang Qinyu quickly shook her head; she wasn't at the point where she couldn't take care of herself.
Lu Yanzheng didn't insist and moved a low table to the bed.
"Did you go to distribute cotton today?" Jiang Qinyu asked after taking a few bites, remembering her business.
Lu Yanzheng shook his head, "Some rules and conditions for receiving the cotton have been issued. Starting tomorrow, cotton will be distributed to the military first, and then to the people in the city the day after tomorrow."
"The soldiers still have to deal with the enemy troops outside the city. We can call on the women or girls in the city to sew cotton clothes for them, and they can use the work to pay for the cotton they want," Jiang Qinyu pondered.
Lu Yanzheng nodded, "I've arranged all of this, so you don't need to worry. Get some rest."
Jiang Qinyu nodded and continued eating.
After she finished eating, she remembered that the kang (heated brick bed) hadn't been made yet, so she said, "I'll draw up the blueprints for the kang tonight, and you can have someone come to the mansion to make it tomorrow, and also have someone learn how to make it."
She had originally planned to do it today, but she slept all day, so it was naturally postponed.
Lu Yanzheng removed the table and pressed Jiang Qinyu's shoulder, saying, "It's okay to do these things a day later, you should rest first."
He was genuinely afraid that if something happened to her, he would owe her far too much.
Jiang Qinyu had no idea why he had suddenly become so gentle, but she still had to do what needed to be done.
After Lu Yanzheng left, Jiang Qinyu got dressed and picked up paper and pen at the dressing table to start drawing.
She studied engineering design, so drawing was a basic skill for her. By the time Lu Yanzheng returned, a design drawing of a kang bed connected to the stove had already been completed.
Lu Yanzheng frowned when he saw that she wasn't in bed. He grabbed the cloak hanging by the door, draped it over her shoulders, and said helplessly, "Why are you being so disobedient?"
“Look,” Jiang Qinyu looked up and smiled brightly at him, “It’s finished. This is from our mansion, it’s a bit complicated. I’ll draw one from an ordinary family.”
After saying that, she ignored Lu Yanzheng's hand on her shoulder and continued drawing on a different piece of paper.
Lu Yanzheng watched helplessly as she conjured a blank sheet of paper out of thin air, and what she held in her hand was not a calligraphy brush, but a brush he had never seen before.
The shock in his heart made Lu Yanzheng stare at the paper in Jiang Qinyu's hand without blinking. He watched as Jiang Qinyu drew a picture on the paper with that special pen.
Is she... a human or a ghost?
No, he should ask, is she a human or a fairy?
If he is an immortal, then everything before makes sense.
Only immortals who can move mountains and fill seas have the ability to make rivers and wells produce water, only immortals can take things out of thin air, and only immortals will have pity on the suffering of the people.
Jiang Qinyu had no idea that while she was painting, Lu Yanzheng had already deified her.
"Alright," Jiang Qinyu looked at the blueprints, marked the dimensions in traditional Chinese characters, and then turned around with satisfaction, "Take a look, just do it this way tomorrow."
Lu Yanzheng nodded quietly and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he forcibly brought Jiang Qinyu back to the bedside, saying, "We can talk about it tomorrow."
Jiang Qinyu was a little confused, but she was indeed sleepy at the moment, so she didn't resist and went to sleep.
When Jiang Qinyu woke up the next morning, the scenes from the previous night suddenly flashed through her mind, and she sighed, "Oh no, what will he think of me?"
At this time, Lu Yanzheng was naturally not in the room. Jiang Qinyu regretted her mistake last night, but since it had already happened, she didn't care anymore. Anyway, no matter what she asked, she would not know.
Just as she had adjusted her mindset, Uncle Chen called from outside, "Madam, the bricklayer the general hired has arrived. Are you up yet?"
“I’ll be right there. Uncle Chen, please have them wait in the front hall for a while, and don’t forget to bring them a cup of hot water,” Jiang Qinyu replied loudly.
Uncle Chen accepted the order and left, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Given how loving General An and his wife are, they're sure to have good news coming their way soon!
Meanwhile, when Yu Hanyan heard that Jiang Qinyu was going to teach someone how to make something again, she immediately went to find Xiao Wu.
"Miss Yu also wants to go see it?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.
After all, today's work involves dirty tasks; would someone like Miss Yu be able to stand it?
Yu Hanyan said softly, "If Madam can do it, then of course I can watch too."
She was eager to know what the lady was up to this time, so that she could bring it up if it was something detrimental to the general.
"Okay, I'll take you there in a bit, but it's all men over there, so just stay back and watch, so as not to bump into the girls." Xiao Wu agreed.
Yu Hanyan smiled and nodded, then went back to find Ruhua to change her clothes.
However, when the mistress and servant arrived, they did not see Jiang Qinyu.
"Where is Madam?" Ruhua asked, pulling Chen Bo along.
