Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 148 Ancient Female Temple (2)

The next morning, Ji Xiao got up and changed into plain clothes, then rang the bell and asked someone to bring water into the house to wash up.

"Girl."

"Zhiwei, go and inform the housekeeper. I'm going to visit my uncle at the academy at 9:00 p.m., so remember to prepare some cakes and bring them with you. Does Banxia still have soybeans at home?"

"Yes." Zhiwei put down the basin, answered and went to find the housekeeper, leaving Banxia in the room to serve Ji Xiao.

"Replying to the girl, there are probably 10 stones left."

Ji Xiao sat down in front of the dressing table and ordered, "Well, ask the kitchen to soak a liter of soybeans later. I need them."

"Yes, girl. Do you need your hair tied up today?"

"No, just use a green hairband to tie it halfway and let it hang behind you."

Ji Xiao was seen wearing a dark green dress with a lotus pattern today. She was as elegant as an orchid, quiet and profound. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, like the autumn sky and water. Her frosty gaze made her look even colder.

"The lady's breakfast is ready."

"Okay. Banxia, ​​go to the kitchen and make some arrangements first."

"It's a girl."

Banxia bowed and walked out with the basin in her hand. Ji Xiao came to the front hall. All the food had been prepared. There was a small portion of mushroom soup, a dish of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of multi-grain porridge on the table.

Ji Xiao finished her breakfast quietly, took a sip of tea, rinsed her mouth, and then asked, "Are the gifts and carriages ready?"

"Back to girl, we are ready and can leave now."

There is a garden right outside Ji Xiao's house. Her house is a conventional courtyard house surrounded by houses on four sides, and she has always lived in the east wing. Even though her father has passed away and all the family property will be inherited by Ji Xiao, Ji Xiao is not planning to move into the main house.

One reason is that Ji Xiao doesn't like houses that have been lived in by others, or beds that have been slept in by others; and the most important reason is that Ji Xiao inherited all the memories and emotions of this body, so in order to preserve all the memories of his parents when they were alive, Ji Xiao does not plan to renovate the main house and move in.

Zhiwei carried the gifts and followed Ji Xiao into the carriage. The butler sent a coachman and two guards to follow.

…………

At Qinghuai Academy, Ji Xiao's servants and guards were resting at the tea pavilion outside the academy, while she herself was walking into the academy carrying a gift box. Ji Xiao did not see him in the principal's office area, and finally Ji Xiao followed Qin Yin to the piano room and found the principal Song Qixiu.

"Uncle." Ji Xiao performed the salute as a junior.

"Xiaoxiao is here." Song Qixiu did not stop playing the piano, nor did he stand up. He knew who the person was just by listening to the voice. After all, not everyone's voice sounds like Ji Xiao's. Her voice was like a sweet spring, clear and clean, refreshing and comfortable.

Moreover, Ji Xiao was the only one in the entire academy who called him uncle. In such a large academy, Ji Xiao was the only girl there, and she was only 15 years old. She was already a juren just after she came of age, and she had just held her coming-of-age ceremony at the beginning of the year.

Ji Xiao put the box on the table beside her, found a stool to sit down casually, and then started to boil water and make tea. According to Ji Xiao's memory, tea was a dark dish with all kinds of flavors that she couldn't get used to, so now she could only rely on herself.

Ji Xiao brought her own tea. Half a quarter of an hour later, she had brewed the tea and poured out two cups to let cool.

"Uncle, come and try the tea I made."

"Well, what did you put in it today? I smell a faint fragrance, which is different from the tea I usually drink."
