Xiao Rui said calmly, "If there's anything urgent, discuss it with your maternal uncle."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanqing didn't ask any more questions and obediently leaned against the carriage.
But after a short while, Xiao Rui suddenly asked, "Why did you react that way when you saw General Lu just now?"
Lu Wanqing's reaction was one of surprise, as if she had seen Lu Yanzheng before, but Xiao Rui knew that the two of them had never met.
Hearing him mention this, Lu Wanqing also remembered this incident, recalling, "He looks a lot like my mother..."
She wasn't saying that Lu Yanzheng looked very feminine, but rather that his features resembled her mother's when she was a child.
"Cousin-in-law's wife?" Xiao Rui frowned.
He had never met Lu Wanqing's mother, so naturally he didn't know what she looked like.
Although Lu Wanqing's grandfather was his mother's paternal uncle, Xiao Rui had to call Lu Wanqing's father his maternal uncle.
Lu Wanqing nodded. "My mother passed away when I was five years old, and I only have a vague memory of her. However, my father often secretly looked at my mother's portrait, so I can still remember what she looked like."
"How similar do you think General Lu and his maternal aunt look?" Xiao Rui asked after a moment's thought.
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "It's at least eight points. The two points that don't seem like it are because General Lu is a man."
"Does it look that similar?" Xiao Rui raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.
Lu Wanqing nodded, "I really didn't exaggerate. If you don't believe me, cousin, you can go back and ask my father to look at my mother's portrait."
"Wait a minute," Xiao Rui suddenly remembered something, "You just said your mother died when you were five years old?"
“Yes.” Lu Wanqing looked at him, puzzled, not understanding why he asked that.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xiao Rui's eyes. "Then who is your mother now?"
"Huh?" Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and slapped her forehead. "You mean Aunt Pei? She's my father's cousin. After my mother died, my father married her as his second wife so that someone would take care of me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rui seemed to be deep in thought.
...
Jiang Qinyu left the next morning, with A Ping still by her side. However, this time Lu Yanzheng also specially assigned Qin Shen to her.
When Jiang Qinyu saw Qin Shen standing with A Ping, her eyes twitched. She pulled Lu Yanzheng aside and whispered, "Isn't Qin Shen your deputy general? Can he leave the army so easily? And if he leaves with me, who will take care of your affairs?"
“You don’t need to worry about these things,” Lu Yanzheng said, tucking her wind-blown hair behind her ear. “Although Qin Shen’s skills are not as good as A Ping’s, he knows better than others how to track tracks.”
Jiang Qinyu's sudden disappearance put him on high alert, and he didn't want to see this happen again, so he forcefully handed Qin Shen over to her.
After hearing his explanation, Jiang Qinyu felt somewhat helpless.
Actually, this whole thing caught her completely off guard. If it weren't for the system, she wouldn't know how she would have escaped.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qinyu accepted Lu Yanzheng's offer, "Alright then, but it seems there's no place at home to settle them..."
"After we get back, Qin Shen will arrange for someone to expand our house. We should be able to move in after spring." Lu Yanzheng patted her head, reluctantly letting go. "You don't need to worry about anything. Qin Shen will take care of everything for you."
Jiang Qinyu also knew that Qin Shen must be quite capable, otherwise Lu Yanzheng would not have made him his deputy.
That makes sense, doesn't it? It means the day she has to lie down and be laid off isn't far off.
Soon, Jiang Qinyu and her group headed towards Dingshui Village.
Lu Yanzheng watched the carriage disappear into the distance, then turned his horse around and headed into the city.
"General, are you really going to go to Xiqiang alone?" Eagle asked from beside him, his tone full of disapproval.
Lu Yanzheng said without turning his head, "I'm at ease leaving the army in your hands. Nothing will happen within half a month. You can definitely handle it."
The eagle was almost in tears. "Even so, you can't just abandon everything and go to Xiqiang! You should at least bring some people with you."
Lu Yanzheng turned around this time, reined in the horses, and calmly looked at him, asking, "Are you sure you're not taking people there to be a hindrance?"
The eagle choked, thought carefully about Lu Yanzheng's abilities, and its face fell. "Isn't that a bit too harsh?"
“Am I not telling the truth?” Lu Yanzheng raised an eyebrow. “You stay here and train the troops well. When I return, if war breaks out, I will hold you accountable for losing even one position!”
"Attributes, as you command!" The eagle instinctively straightened its back and replied loudly.
Seeing that he had accepted the arrangement, Lu Yanzheng turned around and rode away quickly.
Jiang Chengyou is an uncertain factor, and he has to deal with this trouble personally.
...
Jiang Qinyu, Shufan, and Pan'er sat in the carriage. The carriage was decorated by Uncle Chen to be warm and comfortable, and the three of them soon became drowsy.
But the thought of Aping and the others traveling in the cold wind made it hard for Jiang Qinyu to fall asleep.
She thought for a moment and then opened the supermarket system.
If I remember correctly, there seems to be a Heating Charm for sale on the Dimensional Trading page?
Jiang Qinyu hadn't looked closely at what the warming talisman did before, but now that she suddenly remembered, she wanted to take a look.
A quick search revealed numerous posts about posting "heat-boosting charms."
[Basic Healing Charm: Placed on the chest, it quickly raises body temperature and provides protection against the initial cold.]
They even have different levels, but if there's a beginner level, there are also intermediate and advanced levels.
Jiang Qinyu checked and found that the basic level warming talismans were the most numerous and cheapest, costing only 66 points each.
A mid-level ticket costs 88 points, while a high-level ticket costs 128 points.
She thought about it and bought three tickets.
"Shufan, Pan'er, come on, stick this on." Jiang Qinyu smiled and handed the talisman to the two children.
The children obediently tucked themselves inside her coat, blinking their innocent, wide eyes at her.
"Auntie, what is this?" Pan'er asked softly.
She was experienced; usually, if her aunt took out something strange or unusual, she definitely wouldn't let others know.
Jiang Qinyu also lowered her voice and said, "It's a wonderful thing given by the gods. It's said that you won't feel cold if you use it."
Both children nodded in understanding.
Jiang Qinyu also put one on herself, because they were in the car, so she used a basic warming talisman.
Since it's an experiment, she naturally wants to experience it properly.
About 15 minutes later, Jiang Qinyu had a deep understanding of this talisman.
First of all, this thing heats up very quickly; it takes about ten breaths to make the body feel warm, and then the temperature will stabilize after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
If converted to degrees Celsius, a basic warming talisman should be able to raise the temperature by ten degrees, which is indeed enough to resist the initial cold.
Jiang Qinyu thought for a moment, then lifted the car curtain and called out to Aping, "Aping, come closer."
