Jiang Qinyu was enjoying the conversation when, unexpectedly, the fire spread to her.
She smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Uncle Chen is right. Uncle Zhao and the others are not in good health, so they should be taken care of first. Xiao Wu is also right. Miss Yu and her servants are guests, so we can't neglect them."
"Then what do you think, Madam?" Xiao Wu immediately asked.
In his mind, the lady of the house would be very generous and would build a heated kang bed for Miss Yu's courtyard first.
Uncle Chen opened his mouth as if to say that we didn't need to worry about those formalities, but Jiang Qinyu had already spoken.
“Originally, we also wanted to promote the technique of building heated kang beds. Now that Uncle Chen’s kang bed is built, we can invite more people to learn. We can build two or even three kang beds at the same time. That way, it will only take two or three days to complete the entire kang bed in our mansion,” Jiang Qinyu said thoughtfully.
The reason her main courtyard was listed last was because it always had charcoal, making it much warmer than Uncle Chen's and the others'.
Yu Hanyan also had charcoal, but she used Vice General Ling's pension money to ask Uncle Chen and the others to buy it.
“Madam’s method is better,” Uncle Chen immediately sided with Jiang Qinyu. “This old servant will make the arrangements tomorrow.”
Anyway, he would definitely put Yu Hanyan last in the list, since she wouldn't get cold, it would just mean burning charcoal for a few more days.
Xiao Wu wanted to try again to advocate for Yu Hanyan, but seeing that Jiang Qinyu had left after inspecting the heated kang, he didn't say anything more.
After Jiang Qinyu left, Xiao Wu belatedly asked Uncle Chen in a low voice, "Why are you targeting Miss Yu like this? You weren't like this before."
"You think I want to target her?" Uncle Chen rolled his eyes. "Only you are blind, kid, to not see what she's been up to lately. I'm not falling for it."
The young monk was completely bewildered. "How could I be blind? Miss Yu is such a kind person!"
"Heh, she's good? Then you can go with her when she leaves the manor!" Uncle Chen was too lazy to say anything more to him.
A young man like Xiao Wu wouldn't believe how wicked a beautiful woman could be unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Of course, Uncle Chen didn't think Yu Hanyan was that bad. He just couldn't stand people who knew that the couple had a good relationship but still wanted to stir things up.
...
The next day, the people of the border town, who had prepared their cotton-padded clothes, went out into the streets and saluted the border soldiers whenever they saw them.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, soldiers of the border army! You've given us such warm clothes!"
“I’ve already sent my daughter-in-law to the army to find work. We have many capable people in our family and we don’t lack cotton. We are willing to sew cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers for free!”
"Oh dear, mine too! My daughter is very skillful and quick at it. I already had her go over to help this morning..."
The people praised Lu Yanzheng and his soldiers, and many who had the means were willing to sew cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers in the border army without asking for anything in return.
On the city wall, Lu Yanzheng stood tall and straight, wearing a modified military overcoat made by Jiang Qinyu. The soldiers beside him were also wearing cotton-padded clothes that had been made overnight.
"Our general's clothes are much better looking, and they look warmer than ours."
"That's right. I heard it was made by the madam. How could the madam not make something good for the general? No way."
"Hehe... The general doesn't forget us even with such good stuff. We've really made the right choice in following the general!"
"Of course! I'm going to follow the General for life. Wherever he goes, I, Gousheng, will follow!"
"Hey, you little brat, trying to steal my lines, I..."
The enemy forces outside the city have been relatively quiet these past few days, which has put the soldiers at ease. They are especially pleased with the new cotton-padded clothes they have received.
These clothes are so warm!
Even though they were using fabric from the old winter clothes, with cotton added inside, it was as if they were covered with a thick quilt, and they didn't feel cold standing on the city wall.
The general who was willing to distribute such good things to them and the people became a god-like figure in their hearts.
However, there is a problem.
"Deputy General Qin, when did the general bring the cotton back?"
Qin Shen heard the soldier beside him ask a question and the same question arose in his mind.
He was almost inseparable from Lu Yanzheng, but he never heard of or saw Lu Yanzheng either asking someone or going to buy cotton himself!
With so much cotton, it should be visible to people by the time it's transported to the border town and stored in the warehouse.
However, no, the cotton appeared out of thin air and ended up in their warehouse.
"You know nothing!" Qin Shen slapped the soldier who asked the question on the back of the head. "Does the general need to explain things to you beforehand? Cotton is such a good thing; if we told you in advance, wouldn't someone steal it?"
"Hehe, you're right, General, you've thought things through thoroughly." The soldier chuckled and didn't ask any more questions.
Qin Shen watched Lu Yanzheng's retreating figure, suppressing the questions in his heart.
No matter what, the general will definitely lead the border troops and the people of the border town to live well. So what if the general is a little abnormal?
Qin Shen only recognizes those who are good to him and can avenge his uncle!
...
Three days later.
Inside the enemy's main tent, the General of Dayuan and the Fifth Prince of Xiqiang sat together again.
However, this time the two were not as tense as before.
"General, isn't it foolish of us to hold out here? Look how frozen our soldiers are! Why aren't Lu Yanzheng and the others cold?" The Fifth Prince was wearing a fox fur coat and holding a hand warmer, but he still felt a bit cold.
