Chapter 269: The Princess Who Can't Sit Still
Chu Ci just didn't know how to continue, but everyone in the palace was like a lotus root - they were very cunning.
As a result, Aunt Zhang immediately misunderstood what she said. She shuddered and said hurriedly, "It was I who spoke too much! I deserve to die."
Chu Ci didn't correct her. After all, in her opinion, the more taboo Zhang Ma was about this, the better it would be for her. "This princess knows you are thinking about this for her own good. Stand up!"
"Yes." Nanny Zhang responded quickly.
But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. As soon as the emperor issued the decree to open a women's college, the whole capital was in turmoil and various forces were ready to take action.
It has only been a few days, and now Chu Ci has shown such an amazing move in front of everyone.
The crucial day after, the King of Qi was placed under house arrest.
Now some people couldn't sit still anymore.
So much so that the eldest princess couldn't even wait to find a suitable excuse and send a formal visiting card, and she hurriedly drove over that afternoon.
It’s a pity that she came at an inopportune time.
Not only Chu Ci was not there, but also Fan Jingrui, and even the sisters Qianxue and Qianyan were not there.
The eldest princess's expression immediately darkened, her brows furrowed tightly as she asked in a harsh tone, "Do you know where Princess Yixin went?"
Facing the eldest princess's fierce gaze and majestic aura, the gatekeeper, lying on the ground, trembled like a sieve. Naturally, he did not dare to hide anything and replied tremblingly, "Princess, the princess and her family went to the manor awarded by the emperor."
Even for the prince who was closest to the capital, it would take a whole day to go back and forth.
The princess knew that it was impossible to see Chu Ci immediately, so she angrily lowered the carriage curtain and ordered sharply, "Go back!"
But I had already remembered Chu Ci in my heart.
What were Chu Ci's family doing at this time?
It turned out that after Chu Ci helped the fifth prince find the secret room dug by the second prince, King Qi, in the palace of King Shu, Fan Jingrui keenly realized that their days would not be peaceful in the future.
So, that day he hurriedly took his family to the farm rewarded by the emperor on the pretext of checking the accounts.
Sometimes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Just as Chu Ci arrived at the farm, the headman came back happily with some strong men from the farm, carrying a fat wild boar.
Chu Ci's eyes suddenly lit up, full of surprise and excitement.
"Is there a wild boar den nearby?" Chu Ci asked impatiently.
As soon as Chu Ci said this, everyone present who knew Chu Ci knew what she was going to do next.
Especially Qianxue, "Sister-in-law, I can temporarily play the role of Qiao Zhu Niang."
Although because of Chu Ci, almost everyone in the Great Zhou knew how to convert wild boars into domestic pigs.
However, the idea that pork is cheap meat has long been deeply rooted in the Zhou Dynasty.
Especially in the capital, the upper class has never lacked all kinds of meat.
Even though they knew there were ways to convert wild boars into domestic pigs, they disdained to do such a crude thing. As a result, almost no one in the capital was willing to raise pigs.
This gave Chu Ci a chance to perform!
"Okay, I won't let you guys be idle." Chu Ci said excitedly.
Chu Ci and her sister-in-law were discussing the matter heatedly and excitedly. Their faces were filled with excitement and their voices became louder and louder.
The village head was watching from the side and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Princess, Princess. Wild boars are ferocious and difficult to tame, and they have a huge appetite. They are not suitable for domestication."
Chu Ci wasn't angry either. Instead, she said gently, "You haven't heard of the method of transforming wild boars into domestic pigs. This princess doesn't blame you. Later, this princess will let you all taste the wonderful taste of pork."
"Alright, this raw wild boar is too smelly. Why don't you take people and distribute the pork to the poor people nearby? It'll be a gesture of kindness on our part."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he ordered the servants who followed him, "Bring in the bacon from the carriage. This afternoon, everyone will have a bowl of delicious bacon rice."
What kind of meat is bacon?
Although the people on the village head's side were full of doubts.
But seeing the excited looks on the faces of the servants on Chu Ci's side, he knew that the taste of the bacon must be good.
Therefore, everyone was eager to try, their hearts full of anticipation.
Unfortunately, Chu Ci assigned them various tasks as soon as he arrived.
Zhuangtou and his entourage, who had already been specially warned by the emperor's men, knew that Chu Ci was of noble status and had to act with caution, and did not dare to speak casually.
Until Chu Ci remembered that among their group, only Aunt Zhang was good at cooking. "Who among you has the fastest legs? Go and call everyone in the farm who can cook over here."
The usually overly lively youngest son of the village headman immediately jumped out excitedly, patting his chest and saying, "I, I can run fast. I will definitely complete the task. I'll go and inform everyone."
"Sure." Chu Ci didn't ask who he was. Seeing that the boy was smart and well-behaved, he readily agreed.
Seeing Chu Ci's agreement, the boy was about to leave, but Chu Ci stopped him: "Wait, where on the farm is flat land suitable for holding a banquet? Have everyone gather there."
Being stopped by Chu Ci and instructed again, the youngest son of the village head family was not at all impatient. Instead, he became even happier and answered loudly, "Yes. Does the princess have any other instructions?"
It had been a while since I’d seen someone so energetic, and Chu Ci couldn’t help but laugh from the bottom of his heart: “That’s it, go ahead!”
The village head standing by never expected that his youngest son, who had always been naughty and unruly, would catch the eye of the nobleman.
He felt a little excited at the moment, but after staying in the village for so many years, he knew that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
The head of the village suppressed his excitement, apologized to Chu Ci respectfully, and then hurriedly asked everyone to carry the wild boar and leave the village in a hurry.
He thought to himself that he had to go and come back quickly, and he didn't dare to delay the princess's instructions.
Zhuangtou would never admit it. In fact, he was curious about what kind of meat Chuci was talking about.
On the other side, the village head's youngest son was running all the way, shouting at the top of his lungs.
But no one in the village had ever heard of bacon rice, so no one moved.
Until the village head lady grabbed her youngest son's ear angrily and said, "Tell me, what are you doing, little brat?"
"Mother, mother, mother. I'm not making a fuss."
"Our new master, Princess Yixin, has arrived. She has asked all the people in the farm who can cook to gather in the grain yard. We will have bacon rice for dinner today." The youngest son of the head of the farm rattled off Chu Ci's instructions like a machine gun.
Upon hearing the order from her new master, the village head lady didn't dare to be negligent and shouted loudly, "Did you hear that? Don't just stand there, get busy!"
