Chapter 269 The Princess Who Can't Sit Still
Chu Ci just didn't know how to continue, but the people in the palace were like lotus roots - they were very cunning.
As a result, Aunt Zhang immediately misunderstood what she said. She shuddered and said hurriedly, "It was I who said too much! I deserve to die."
Chu Ci did not correct her. After all, in her opinion, the more taboo Zhang Ma was about this, the more beneficial it would be for her. "This princess knows that you are thinking about this for her own good. Get up!"
"Yes." Nanny Zhang responded quickly.
But there is no wall that is impenetrable. As soon as the emperor issued an imperial decree to open a women's college, the whole capital was in turmoil and various forces were ready to make a move.
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 the eldest princess couldn't even wait to find a suitable excuse and send a formal visiting card, and hurriedly drove over that afternoon.
It's a pity that she came at an inopportune time.
Not only Chu Ci was not there, but even Fan Jingrui, and even the two sisters Qianxue and Qianyan were not there either.
The eldest princess's face immediately darkened, her eyebrows knitted tightly, and she asked in a bad tone: "Do you know where Princess Yixin went?"
Facing the sharp gaze and majestic aura of the eldest princess, the gatekeeper, who was lying on the ground, trembled all over like a sieve. Naturally, he did not dare to hide anything and replied tremblingly: "Replying to the princess, the princess and her family went to the manor rewarded 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 right away, so she angrily lowered the 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 residence 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 village headman came back happily with the 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 Niangzi."
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 were unwilling to do such a vulgar 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 sit idle." Chu Ci said excitedly.
Chu Ci and her sister-in-law were discussing the matter enthusiastically and excitedly. Their faces were filled with excitement and their voices became louder and louder.
The head of the village was watching from the side and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly stepped forward to stop her and said, "My Lady Princess, My Lady Princess. Wild boars are ferocious and difficult to tame, and they eat a lot, so they are really not suitable for taming."
Chu Ci was not angry, but said gently: "You have never heard of the method of transforming wild boars into domestic pigs. This princess does not blame you. Later, this princess will let you all taste the wonderful taste of pork."
"Well, this unprocessed wild boar is too smelly. You can take people to distribute the pork to the poor people nearby! It can also be regarded as our kindness."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he ordered the servants who followed him, "Bring in the bacon from the carriage. This afternoon, everyone can have a bowl of delicious bacon rice."
What kind of meat is bacon?
The people on the village head's side were full of doubts.
But looking at the excited looks on Chu Ci's servants' faces, he knew that the taste of the bacon must be good.
Therefore, everyone is eager to try, and their hearts are full of expectations.
Unfortunately, as soon as Chu Ci arrived, he assigned them various tasks.
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 they did not dare to speak casually.
Until Chu Ci remembered that among them, only Aunt Zhang was good at cooking. "Who among you has the fastest feet? Go and call everyone in the farm who can cook over here."
The usually overly lively youngest son of the village head family immediately jumped out excitedly, patting his chest and saying, "I, I can run fast, I guarantee I'll 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 is the flat land on the farm suitable for holding a banquet? Ask everyone to gather there."
Being stopped by Chu Ci and instructed again, the youngest son of the village head family was not impatient at all. Instead, he became even happier and answered loudly, "Yes. Does the princess have any other instructions?"
It’s been a while since I’ve seen such an energetic person, Chu Ci couldn’t help but laugh from the bottom of his heart: “No more, go!”
The village head standing by didn't expect 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 impatient people cannot eat hot tofu.
The head of the village suppressed his excitement, respectfully apologized to Chu Ci, and then quickly 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 what the princess had asked him to do.
Zhuangtou would never admit that in fact he was curious about what kind of meat the bacon Chuci mentioned was.
On the other side, the village head’s youngest son was running as fast as he could, shouting at the top of his lungs.
But no one in the village had ever heard of what cured meat rice was, 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 Yi Xin, has arrived. Ask all the people in the farm who can cook to gather at the threshing ground. We will have bacon rice for dinner today." The youngest son of the farm head rattled off Chu Ci's instructions like a string of cannonballs.
Upon hearing that it was an order from the new master, the village head lady did not dare to be negligent and shouted loudly: "Did you hear it? Don't just stand there, get busy!"
