Chapter 710: Reward from the Princess
Seeing Old Su suddenly stand up and leave, Master Sun was confused and hurriedly got up and followed him.
Only then did everyone realize that there were more than a dozen men coming from that direction, each made like a clay monkey, and each of them was leading a child.
"Why did you come just now?"
Dean Su came up to them and looked at them in confusion. They were the children from Dongping Village. He didn't know why they came so late.
"President Su, the road was soaked by the rain. Our ox cart got stuck halfway through the journey, so we had to go back to the village to look for him. That's why we're late."
The leading man had a guilty look on his face and pointed at the children standing behind him.
"Why don't you go ask your classmates and teacher for help and make up for the missed lessons."
When the children heard this, they did not hesitate and ran into their classes.
“Is the road really that difficult to walk on?”
Qin Chuchu and the man came up and looked at the clothes of the men in front of them. They were soaked below the waist and their legs were covered in mud.
How deep must the puddle be to get so wet?
"My princess, the roads are flooded and we can't walk anymore. The low spots are higher than our waists."
The other man pointed to the clothes on his body as he spoke.
If I hadn't relied on my height, the water would have reached my neck.
“………………”Everyone was silent.
None of them spoke, but frowned as they looked at the dozen or so men in front of them who looked miserable.
I sighed in my heart that studying is so difficult.
"Have you had lunch yet?"
Qin Chuchu looked at the men in front of her. They were all so tired that sweat covered their foreheads. They had walked more than thirty miles and probably didn't have lunch.
"Princess, we ate when we came here this morning. It won't be too late to eat when we return in the evening."
Although this year's grain harvest was good and a lot of money was earned from selling it, I didn't dare to squander it.
Now I can not only eat solid food for two meals, but also be full. This is very satisfying. How can I dare to dream of three meals?
"So are you guys going back?"
"Princess, we're not going back. We're just waiting for the children to finish school so we can go back together. Otherwise, we'll have to come back before we even get home."
One of the Chinese characters looked up at the sky. School would be over in less than two hours, so there was no need to go home.
I thought I would just wait here and go back together with the kids after school.
“………………” Qin Chuchu frowned.
It’s really hard for the children to go to school, and I feel very unhappy.
Seeing the dry lips of the men, and how they had walked such a long way and had not eaten lunch, he looked around.
"April!"
As soon as she finished speaking, April's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, scaring her into a grin.
“Yoho!”
He quickly patted his chest to calm down, then looked at April with dissatisfaction.
"Just stay by my side from now on. No need to hide."
I really can't stand the treatment of this secret guard. He appears and disappears mysteriously and is so scary.
"Yes, Second Princess." April nodded.
"Go back and ask Aunt Liu if there's anything edible and bring some more."
After saying that, he took another look at the men's wet clothes. If they didn't change them, they would easily get sick.
"Go back to the warehouse and get a few sets of clothes they can wear."
"Princess, we are not hungry and we don't need to change clothes."
Several men waved their hands to refuse. How could they have the nerve to eat other people's food and wear other people's clothes? What if they got them dirty?
Qin Chuchu didn't say anything, but turned to look at April.
"Go ahead."
"Yes." April nodded, and disappeared in a few takesoffs and landings.
The children behind him were so angry that they opened their mouths wide.
That sister is so awesome!
It would be great if I could be like that sister!
When Qin Chuchu turned around, she saw the children, all of whom were staring at April with envy. She knew what they were thinking.
Grand Tutor Sun, General Cheng, and Lord Zhao, who were standing aside, looked at Qin Chuchu and nodded continuously.
Princess Chen is indeed a kind-hearted person. She can even think of these little things. No wonder the people are so close to her.
Just look at the attitude of these people when communicating with her. It is not at all like the timid and cautious attitude of people in other places when facing the powerful.
She seemed very relaxed, as if she was just chatting about daily life. One could imagine how approachable Princess Chen must be.
Soon, April came over with two large basins and a bag on her back.
"Princess, all the food is here."
Looking at the steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and the leftover rice and mashed potatoes from lunch in the basin, Qin Chuchu nodded with satisfaction.
"This should be enough for you. Take the children over there and get some food. Don't forget to change your clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Looking at the two large bowls of food, the dozen or so men would be lying if they said they were not moved. They looked at each other and then at Qin Chuchu.
"Thank you, Princess, for your grace. We will take the food when we eat it, but we won't need the clothes to avoid getting them dirty."
I didn’t feel hungry before I saw anything, but now when I looked at the two big bowls of tempting food, my stomach started to growl.
What's more, the children are watching over there, and they must be greedy.
Since the princess brought it to them, it must be with sincerity, so they should accept the food, but forget about the clothes.
I'm already covered in sweat from the whole journey, and if I dirty other people's clothes, how will I wear them later?
Seeing what they were thinking, Qin Chuchu waved her hand indifferently.
"It's okay, you can all take them. This dress is a gift from me to you."
There are plenty of clothes in the warehouse anyway, so they don’t need a dozen or so sets.
Although the rain has stopped now, the weather is not as hot as before. If you wear wet clothes for a long time, you will definitely get sick.
These days a cold can kill someone. Just sending a dozen sets of clothes may save a dozen lives. It's worth it no matter how you think about it.
“………………”The men looked at each other.
They looked at each other, a little bit unable to believe that the clean new clothes in front of them were for them.
I don't do anything for others, but I eat and wear other people's clothes. I still feel guilty about this.
Seeing that these men were unwilling to take action for a long time, the man's low voice rang out.
"Since it's a reward from the princess, just keep it!"
“…………”Several people looked up.
Even the prince said so, so what was there for the men to hesitate about? Just as they were about to kneel down and pay their respects, they were stopped by Qin Chuchu.
"No thanks! Didn't I tell you guys that you don't have to do formalities anymore? Hurry up and take the kids to eat!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, Princess."
The men, with tears in their eyes, took new clothes, two large bowls of food, and led the children who were already drooling to a remote place.
Qin Chuchu then withdrew her gaze and was about to speak when she realized that everyone's eyes were staring at her. She grinned and quickly touched her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
