Chapter 231 But this old slave didn’t do a good job?
"It's really okay. Don't keep watching over me. Go to sleep so late at night." Jiang Xiyu had never been willing to let Qing'er keep watch over her before.
Normally this girl would run around with her everywhere and sleep on the table at night. She really loved her, so she usually didn't want her to keep watch unless necessary.
Jiang Xiyu had a nightmare, so Qing'er couldn't feel at ease and go back to sleep.
"Go back to sleep now. I've already slept for a whole day and night. But you have to get up early tomorrow morning to help me make medicinal food."
After what happened yesterday, Jiang Xiyu decided that she would prepare the medicinal food for the nobles herself in the future. At least she would watch over it and taste it before sending it to the nobles.
Especially Gulin's medicinal food, which must be cooked by her personally. Although she didn't know why Gulin had to eat the medicinal food she made herself, since it was Gulin's request, she had no way to disobey.
Seeing that Jiang Xiyu seemed to be in good spirits despite having a nightmare, Qing'er nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll go back to sleep. It's still daybreak, Madam, please take a nap. You can't get up to study any more prescriptions."
"I understand. I'll just lie down and continue sleeping when I get tired." Jiang Xiyu was really afraid of Qing'er's nagging, so he agreed without hesitation.
Only then did Qing'er go back to her own residence and sleep with peace of mind.
Jiang Xiyu had been lying down all day and was not sleepy at all. After Qing'er left, Jiang Xiyu got up and went out.
Even in June, the dew was still very heavy at midnight, and Jiang Xiyu still felt a little cold even with a cloak on.
However, this coolness also happened to dispel some of the anxiety in her heart.
No matter why she had such a dream, she couldn't let the things in the dream happen again.
Jiang Xiyu thought of what Gu Yunling said during the day.
Jiang Kun's identity is rather special, and Gu Wei has always been wary of her. If she wants to establish good relationships with these dignitaries and nobles, if Gu Wei knows about it, he may become suspicious, which will be very disadvantageous to Jiang Kun.
So, she will go back to the General's Mansion tomorrow to discuss it with Jiang Kun.
Jiang Xiyu was pacing in the yard, thinking about how to talk to Jiang Kun when she returned tomorrow. Suddenly, a petal floated in front of her. She subconsciously reached out to catch it, but found that it was a petal of a paulownia flower.
This touch of white reminded Jiang Xiyu of Lanruo Temple and the scene where Gulin pinned flowers for her.
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes and looked towards the Prince Qin's Mansion next door.
Could it be that Gulin replaced all the trees in his mansion with sycamore trees?
Jiang Xiyu stood in the corner, looking at the sycamore petals scattered on the ground, feeling very complicated.
Why did he replace all the trees in the mansion with sycamore trees?
It can't be for her, right?
He knew she was a married woman...
Jiang Xiyu felt that she was being too sentimental. Everyone said that he was not interested in women, and she was not as pretty as him. She didn't know what was wrong with her that made him worthy of his love.
Maybe he liked paulownia flowers, and there happened to be a paulownia tree outside the wing of Lanruo Temple where he lived. Maybe he lived there because he liked paulownia flowers.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyu felt a lot more comfortable.
It’s not because of her, but their preferences are the same.
She also liked paulownia flowers, and after her divorce, she planted a few more paulownia trees in the general's mansion.
Jiang Xiyu stood in the yard for a long time before returning to the room.
But she was no longer sleepy, so she sat down at the desk to write a recipe for medicinal food.
Princess Gui’s early medicinal diet recipes were very simple, but the most important thing was the recipes for conditioning the body afterwards, which needed to be studied carefully.
Jiang Xiyu worked until morning and did not go to sleep. Although she did not actually develop the medicinal food recipe, she had some general idea of it.
In the morning, when Nanny Wei went to the small kitchen to prepare breakfast, Jiang Xiyu also went to the small kitchen to start preparing medicinal food.
"Madam." Seeing Jiang Xiyu getting up just as the sky was getting light outside, Wei Mama thought she hadn't slept all night again and asked worriedly, "Did you not sleep all night again?"
During this period, Jiang Xiyu had to develop medicinal food, and most of the time, she would stay up all night.
Jiang Xiyu smiled and said, "I slept a lot during the day yesterday, and I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep, so I studied the medicinal recipe."
Wei Ma Ma said distressedly, "Madam, why don't you go and rest, and leave the preparation of the medicinal food to this old servant."
Jiang Xiyu said helplessly, "I have to prepare the medicinal food for the King of Qin myself. I will also prepare the medicinal food for the nobles in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wei Mama suddenly became a little panicked, "But what I did was not good?"
It was because the medicinal food she made yesterday was returned by King Qin.
Jiang Xiyu comforted him, "No, you made it very well. The effect and taste are no different from mine. But since he wants me to make it myself, then I have to do it. As for the nobles' medicinal food, it needs to be adjusted at any time, so it's best for me to make it myself. And from today on, you will be very busy."
Jiang Xiyu's words left Madam Wei confused.
Jiang Xiyu did all these things, so what else could she be busy with?
Jiang Xiyu looked at Nanny Wei's puzzled expression and said with a smile, "It's because the Recovery Soup and Hibiscus Porridge we make are so popular that everyone who has tried them wants to order more. However, the restaurant only sells twenty servings of Recovery Soup and Hibiscus Porridge a day, and they are all sold out at dawn every day. The nobles can't order any of them at all, so the princess and I have discussed that we will make twenty more servings of Recovery Soup and Hibiscus Porridge every day, specifically for the noble circle. It's still first come first served, so you will be busy from now on."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei was not worried at all. Instead, she became even happier. "It's better to be busy. If I only cooked three meals a day, I would find it boring. Following Madam, I have finally fulfilled my desire to be a craftsman. If the nobles like to eat the medicinal food I made, it would be an honor for me. I am so happy."
Seeing that Nanny Wei was genuinely happy, Jiang Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She was also worried about increasing Nanny Wei's workload, fearing that she would be unhappy. Now it seemed that she would be anxious if she was not allowed to do anything.
This is good. She can give them more monthly allowance and some bonuses at the end of the year so that they don't work in vain.
"Then go make breakfast first. I think the order will be here soon."
"Yes." Nanny Wei responded happily and went to work.
Jiang Xiyu prepared the medicinal materials and began to make the medicinal food.
When Qing'er came to the kitchen, she was surprised to see Jiang Xiyu there. "Madam, you didn't sleep last night, did you?"
Qing'er was very worried about Jiang Xiyu. If she continued to stay up late like this, her body would not be able to bear it.
Jiang Xiyu knew that Qing'er really cared about her, so she reached out and pinched her puffy little face. "If you have time to lecture me here, you might as well come and help me quickly and prepare the medicinal food as soon as possible, so that I can rest."
Upon hearing this, both Nanny Wei and Nanny Yu laughed.
Qing'er blinked and curled her lips, "How dare I teach you a lesson? I'm just worried about your health. You know you can't get sick..."
