Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 353: Queen of Heaven, the Earth Shakes!

"Yes, I know. Hurry up and pack for me. I will go back to Kyoto with my senior brother in a while. We must tell the emperor as soon as possible. There is no time to waste. The sooner the emperor knows, the faster he can take measures."

Zhenzhu, who had been worried about the young master's innocence, almost forgot about the earthquake. Now that she remembered it, her hands trembled for a moment. She hurried to fetch some clean water and helped Shu Xiaoxiao wash up.

"Master, we're going to be okay, right?"

Shu Xiaoxiao said firmly: "I'm here, everything will be fine!"

Zhenzhu nodded. It was the young master who saved her life. She believed what the young master said. If the young master said it was okay, then it must be okay!

"Master, I asked Sister Xing'er to prepare some pies. They are made with pure lean fillings and chili peppers. If you are in a hurry, you can take them with you on the road."

The young master is used to having three meals a day, and he can't go hungry in the morning.

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, prepare more and we'll eat on the way." Shu Xiaoxiao nodded. It was more than ten miles back to Kyoto, not close. She had a pass to enter the palace, so she would definitely go straight to the palace when she returned to Kyoto. She really wouldn't have time to sit down to eat. This pie was just right to eat on the way. They had to hurry.

Principal Chu always gets up early. Thinking that his second disciple had returned, he got up and wandered over today. When he saw Shu Xiaoxiao who had dressed up, he pointed at her and laughed angrily.

"You little brat, where are you going now? Do you want to be lazy and skip classes again? I'm telling you, go to class well. I don't agree to your leave." Their academy has student uniforms, which students usually wear in the academy. Shu Xiaoxiao's outfit clearly shows that she is not going to school.

"Master, don't worry about classes now. There's going to be an earthquake. Think about whether we should give the students of our academy a holiday or find a safe place for them to stay. Anyway, we can't keep anyone on the mountain during an earthquake. We have to tell the emperor the news as soon as possible."

Shu Xiaoxiao helped the man into the house and said directly that although he was still a little nervous, his mood was much better after what happened yesterday. The important thing now was to solve the problem.

The master is a man who has seen a lot of ups and downs, so there is no need to be too tactful. The main reason is that he just doesn't have the time.

"What, are you sure?" Principal Chu was startled, his eyes fixed on his little disciple, not missing any expression on her face.

After such a long time together, Chu Shanzhang also knew that her little disciple had some special skills. She didn't dare to joke about such a big thing. Now that she had said it, she was 90% sure, even if it wasn't 100%. But this was an earthquake...

Shu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes, full of determination: "Confirmed, in ten days, there will be an earthquake!"

Master Chu's mouth trembled twice, then he calmed down and looked at his second disciple who came over and obviously knew the situation: "Okay, I know, you go back to Kyoto, you don't have to worry about the academy."

After the brothers saluted with fists, they took the pie and water handed to them by Zhenzhu and left. The most important thing now was to tell the emperor about the matter.

Before leaving, Shu Xiaoxiao instructed again: "Zhenzhu, go find Jinbao and ask him to ask the teacher for leave. Let him go back to his father to find a way to prepare food and medicinal materials. I will give him nine days to buy as much as he can. I will take as much as he can buy. You keep the accounts and move all the things to the manor outside the capital. Let Liu Zhuangtou place them in an open place. Make sure that even if the house collapses, the food will be safe."

"Oh, if the teacher does not agree to grant you leave, just say that the dean also agrees, and let the teacher approve it." Nowadays, teachers are more responsible and generally they will not grant you leave without any reason. If Qian Jinbao cannot explain the reason, he may not even get a leave note and still be rejected. It would be more effective to mention dean Chu at this time.

That's what she usually does anyway.

As soon as I came out, I heard that Mr. Chu was going to take the blame again:............

This unfilial disciple said: "Forget it, just go find the teacher and tell him that Qian Jinbao's leave was approved by me, and his return date is tentatively set at ten days."

Pearl: "Yes, I'll go right away."

Chief Chu: "You should also pay attention to safety. If we know about this in advance, we will have a great advantage and we will definitely get through this safely."

Yun Qinghan and Shu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Master, we understand."

The pies are placed in a basket, which contains dozens of pies, each of which is individually wrapped in greaseproof paper and can be eaten directly.

As for the quantity, Yun Qinghan and Huo Feng both had a share. Even though most people now eat two meals a day, they felt greedy when they saw Shu Xiaoxiao eating together. Now, people in the yard are basically accustomed to eating three meals a day. Whenever they feel a little hungry, they just eat. Three meals a day are just right, unlike before, when they were hungry for most of the day.

Huo Feng wanted to twitch his lips again when he saw the neatly arranged pies. There were so many pies, and each one was wrapped in oil paper, so there would be no oil stains on his hands. It turned out that Kyoto was the best! They were at the border, not to mention pies, they couldn't even eat white flour buns.

Yu Xing'er's cooking skills are also inherited from Chef Fang. The crust of her baked pie is crispy and the filling is fresh. You can smell the rich aroma after taking a bite. With the slight spicy taste, it is really unforgettable!

Yun Qinghan took a bite and his eyes lit up. It tasted good. The slight spicy taste made the pie taste better. He couldn't help but eat it faster.

Needless to say, Huo Feng also baked pies for Young Master Ye, but this one tastes really good, and the pepper is simply amazing. It feels like it can be paired with any dish. It's a pity that Young Master Ye doesn't like to eat fatty meat. This filling is pure lean meat. Although the filling is well seasoned, it will definitely be more fragrant if there is a little fat. He will try it himself when he has time.

Although the two men's actions were not rude, they were very fast. Shu Xiaoxiao had just finished one, but the other two had already eaten four or five, which made Shu Xiaoxiao involuntarily speed up.

After finishing the basket of pies, they went down the mountain and rode directly to Kyoto.

It was already dawning early. Shu Xiaoxiao and the others had rushed back, and it was only the 9th hour. The court probably had not yet ended. Fortunately, both of them could enter and leave the palace freely. After entering the imperial capital, they did not delay and went straight to the palace.

Eunuch Fu looked at the two people who came and hurried to greet them. He had other tasks today and was not serving in the court. He welcomed these two young masters and had to serve them well.

Before the emperor left the court, he quickly placed the two in a side hall and served them a lot of cakes and tea: "My lord, you and the marquis can have some food first. The emperor sees that it's almost time for him to leave the court."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. We are not in a hurry." Although he said there was no hurry, less than two breaths after he said that, Shu Xiaoxiao began to stretch her neck to look outside.

Eunuch Fu:............

"Shall we go and see if the Emperor is about to leave court?" Eunuch Fu asked tentatively.

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded immediately and looked at Eunuch Fu expectantly: "Then thank you for your help, Eunuch."

Eunuch Fu: Aren’t you saying there’s no rush?

As he spoke, he stuffed a purse into Eunuch Fu's hand as if he remembered something: "These are the ginseng pills I made myself. You can take two pills when you feel unwell."

Eunuch Fu's hand, which was about to refuse, immediately changed direction and smoothly put away his purse: "Thank you very much, my Lord. I will go and see if the emperor has left the court."

The pills made by the Marquis himself are worth a fortune! Even if he was punished with a beating, he would still go and ask about it.
