Chapter 33 Inspection of the Keats House
After Xu Jiao got up, she was pressed by the maids in front of the dressing mirror and dressed up.
The maids said that today was the time for her to inspect the Keats House and let the people admire the princess's dignity, but she should dress up brightly and make the people amazed.
Xu Jiao didn't stop their behavior, she herself is a girl who loves to dress up stinky and beautiful, and when she was a child, she often wore sheets and pretended to be Yang Guifei.
The princess dresses up, and naturally no one will urge her.
Lin Hai took a team to wait in the front yard of the princess's mansion early, they were already the princess's personal soldiers, and they served as guards for the princess's trip.
In order to compete for this place, the team leaders have been secretly competing for several days.
By the time Xu Jiao was all packed up and ready to go, it was less than an hour before noon.
Taishou sent someone to ask: "The others have already arrived at the Keats Academy, is it okay to have lunch at noon after the inspection?" ”
Xu Jiao had her own idea and asked people to reply to Taishou: "Eat at Keats House at noon, this princess wants to have fun with the people today." ”
In fact, she just didn't bother to run to the second place.
The Keats House had already received the news that the princess was coming to inspect today, and it was only now that it was learned that the princess was going to stay for dinner.
The official in charge hurriedly sent someone to ask the people of Keats House: "What kind of food have you prepared on the stove today?" ”
The person in charge of the back and forth is the son of the old man yesterday, who is the master chef of the kitchen.
"Today there are steamed fish, egg custard, and white radish."
After speaking, he asked the official suspiciously: "Why did you start to care about the food of our Keats House today?" We strictly follow the orders of Taishou and the princess, and the food is definitely not bad. ”
The official in charge couldn't cry or laugh: "Your food is better than mine, but today the princess suddenly said that she wants to come to the Keats House to eat with you, you go and see what other dishes are better, you can make them quickly, and it will be noon soon." ”
Keats House was busy here, and Xu Jiao sat slowly in her carriage.
Lin Hai and the others dutifully sent people to escort the princess.
Xu Jiao lifted the curtain with her hand and beckoned to Lin Hai.
When he got closer, Xu Jiao asked him: "General Lin Hai doesn't have to be responsible for all this little thing, just let the team leader come." ”
Lin Hai looked at the smirking team leader who was selected to protect the princess this time, and his expression was indescribable.
"What the princess said is, but they are still young, and the minister feels that they need to exercise again and be on their own."
Xu Jiao nodded, didn't speak again, and returned to the carriage, she was a little cold from the wind outside.
The carriage arrived at the Keats Monastery at noon, and the head and officials of the Keats Monastery were guarding the door.
I saw a beautiful girl wearing a gold-threaded blue-green mist skirt and a white hosta inlaid with gems jumping off the carriage.
This is the princess.
Everyone didn't dare to look at it more, so they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.
"Don't be polite, don't delay outside, I'm cold, let's go in." Xu Jiao patted her sleeve, and without waiting for everyone's reaction, she took the lead and walked in.
The skirt she wore for her stinky beauty was relatively thin, and she couldn't be frozen outside.
The house burned more carbon than usual, warm as spring, and the officials carefully followed Xu Jiao to accompany him.
"What about the people who live? All in the room? Xu Jiao came in and saw that there was no one inside, so she turned her head and asked.
The official in charge nodded and said, "There are many people living here, for fear of disturbing the princess, the ministers let them all stay in their rooms, does the princess want to meet?" ”
Xu Jiao nodded and asked everyone to go to the dining room.
"I'm hungry, I guess they're hungry too, let's go to the dining room to eat, and I'll see how they're doing."
When Xu Jiao and the others sat down in the dining room, some people bowed their heads and walked into the dining room one after another.
They knew that some officials seemed to be coming to inspect today, and they had told them in advance that they didn't need to salute, they just sat down in their seats and ate.
Zhao Qingming also took Zhao Liuli into the dining room, the child was bold, others didn't dare to look at the team, but the two brothers and sisters dared to look up.
There was a gorgeously dressed woman in the middle, still so young, and everyone was revolving around her, presumably she was the kind-hearted princess.
Early this morning, both siblings learned the details of Keats House, knew that it was founded by order of the princess, and both regarded her as a lifesaver.
Zhao Qingming took his sister and walked towards Xu Jiao, stood three steps away from her, and made a four-way salute.
"Princess Xie for her life, when the kid grows up, he will definitely repay you."
Childish words, but some more serious than ordinary people.
Xu Jiao was moved by his seriousness, and encouraged him: "Then you must work hard to get ahead in the future, there are too many people working here, and I won't accept it if you can't do it." ”
When Zhao Qingming nodded seriously, Xu Jiao waved her hand and said, "Go and eat, I see that your sister is almost hungry." ”
When he heard this, he looked down at his sister, and her sister really looked at the place where she was cooking not far away, and her saliva flowed.
He was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly pulled his sister to eat.
The master of the kitchen sent fish, egg cartons, and white radishes to Xu Jiao, and said honestly: "This is their food today, the princess came suddenly, and it was too late to buy vegetables and cook, so I went to the best restaurant in the city to buy some roasted mutton, roast chicken, hen soup and some snacks." ”
As he spoke, he brought the dishes up.
"Treat the princess to enjoy."
Xu Jiao nodded and praised him: "You are honest, their food is already very good, it's hard for you to run for me." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Jiao glanced at Taishou and quipped: "I won't give you the money to buy vegetables, you remember to ask Taishou for reimbursement, he was going to invite me to dinner in Taishou Mansion today." ”
Taishou naturally immediately smiled and responded.
When everyone was happy, there was a sudden cry of a child in the distance, and it turned out to be the little girl who was drooling just now.
"What's going on?" Xu Jiao asked.
Someone immediately went to understand the situation, and it turned out that after the brother and sister were cooking, the egg custard and fish on the dinner plate were snatched.
The wanderers are not all poor people, today's person who robs things is called Goudan, and he is used to being domineering outside, and he is a man in his twenties who is in good health and can't beg for much money, so he goes to rob those lonely old people and children to beg for money and food.
Even when he came here, he didn't change his stubbornness, because everyone's food was rationed, not an unlimited supply, so he kept secretly robbing the old and the disabled.
These people have been bullied by him for a long time in the past, and they dare not speak up at this time.
Today he saw two children, and he had no scruples, and stepped forward to snatch both copies, but he didn't expect the little girl to cry and attract the attention of others.
After hearing this, Xu Jiao snorted coldly: "If you eat so much, you are not afraid of supporting yourself to death." How do you screen people, such lazy people who are able-bodied and have developed limbs and don't work to support themselves, you can also be selected? ”
The public took the initiative to be angry, and the accompanying officials did not dare to speak for a while.
