Immediately afterward, Jin Shuai, with a focused expression, picked up the paper and pen on the table and, like a master immersed in the world of art, began to wield his brush. Before long, a breathtaking scene unfolded: a lifelike and exquisitely detailed painting, seemingly leaping off the page, appeared before everyone! Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the painting depicted various clothing styles that would later become extremely popular—long trench coats flowing and elegant, exuding grace; exquisite and luxurious outerwear showcasing refined taste; trousers with smooth lines, combining comfort and style; uniquely designed vests, cleverly creating a distinctive style; shoes with unique shapes, revealing ingenuity in every detail; and down jackets that were warm and thick, giving people endless reassurance. Even more unexpectedly, men's boxer briefs, such intimate clothing, were included, demonstrating Jin Shuai's unique insight and creativity regarding the details of life.

After completing this masterpiece, Jin Shuai did not stop. Knowing that simply showing the drawings was far from enough, he threw himself into the even more challenging task ahead. He spent a full hour patiently and meticulously explaining the design concepts, unique features, and exquisite craftsmanship of the garments to each of the women present. He detailed every aspect, every choice of material, leaving the women captivated and filled with anticipation and longing for these novel garments.

However, once everything had settled down, time suddenly seemed to drag on endlessly. Jin Shuai appeared rather bored, unsure how to pass the time.

After a moment's thought, he decided to go to the old man's study. Seeing the pile of ancient books, he lamented their current worthlessness. He casually browsed the various books on the shelves, most of which were precious classics from the Northern Song Dynasty. Although some of the traditional characters puzzled him, his solid foundation in literature from his vocational school and keen social experience convinced him that even if he couldn't understand them, he might as well take a look—he had nothing else to do anyway.

Unfortunately, after a fruitless search, Jin Shuai was unable to find the history book. Just as he was about to give up, a gentle voice called from outside the door: "My lord, lunch is ready!" It was Liu Shi calling him to lunch. Jin Shuai smiled and had no choice but to put down the book he couldn't understand and follow Liu Shi to the dining room. After a sumptuous lunch, feeling somewhat relieved, he was about to return to his study to continue pretending to study when his attendant rushed in to report.

The attendant said the young woman's condition had significantly improved. Hearing this, Jin Shuai finally felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. The attendant also informed him that they had inquired at various clinics within the inner city and discovered that there were indeed many patients with similar symptoms. Moreover, the situation in the outer city was even worse, with the daily number of new cases continuing to rise. Faced with such a grim situation, Jin Shuai thought to himself, "This is about to erupt..." Jin Shuai stood up and paced back and forth in the courtyard, saying, "Go and fetch Steward Jin and Madam Liu."

Soon after, Butler Jin and Madam Liu arrived at the courtyard. Jin Shuai asked, "Prepare food supplies for the whole family for the next 30 days. You may have seen a plant in the wild that initially blooms with yellow flowers, but when it matures, it grows clumps of white fuzz covering its spheres. When a breeze blows, those fuzzy spheres will scatter everywhere."

“This is dandelion, which should be available in pharmacies,” Butler Jin quickly replied.
