Chapter 19 For You
Ji Changqing, wearing a crimson official uniform embroidered with cranes, walked into the exhibition hall with a straight posture and a calm expression.
Seeing Feng Qingsui, he smiled slightly: "I heard from the warden that my sister-in-law just came to donate clothes. I thought she recognized the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be my sister-in-law."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
This guy had been sending people to follow her, and she didn't believe that he didn't know that she was coming to the orphanage.
"I didn't expect that," Feng Qingsui chuckled. "Second Master is so busy with his work, yet he still has time to come and inspect a small orphanage."
Ji Changqing heard the sarcasm in her words and knew she had misunderstood. He smiled and said, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has predicted that this year will be a cold winter rarely seen in a century. The Jingzhao Prefecture has submitted a memorial requesting a special fund to be allocated to the orphanage to help it through the winter. Your Majesty has ordered me to verify this."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way to the Salesian Home.
——Of course, there are so many orphanages in the capital, but he chose to come to this one because she was here.
Feng Qingsui frowned when he heard the words "a winter so rare that it only happens once in a century." He said, "The winter clothes in the Salesian Home are filled with catkins and reed catkins, which can't withstand the cold winter."
The eavesdropper who followed Ji Changqing in heard this and the smile on his face froze.
"Reed catkins? Where did you hear that, Madam? The winter clothes for the children in our orphanage are all made of silk cotton."
Feng Qingsui looked at her and said, "These winter clothes made of silk cotton were donated by others four years ago. The new children don't have them, right?"
The warden's face stiffened slightly.
She has always been with this lady and has never seen her come into contact with any child. How could she know so much?
Did you inquire about it before coming here?
She made amends, "I was only transferred here at the end of last year, so I don't know much about the situation before that. I'll verify what Madam said. If it's true, I'll report it."
Feng Qingsui: "Which courtyard was the director of the courtyard in before?"
"Over there on Qingyun Road."
"Are winter clothes over there made of silk cotton?"
"Of course... but three years ago, some kind-hearted people donated a batch of cotton-padded clothes."
Feng Qingsui looked a little cold.
My sister's kindness became a cover-up for these greedy people.
Ji Changqing's face also darkened.
"Master Fang, please submit the annual income and expenditure records. I want to review them."
Fang Yuanjian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he quickly responded, "Okay!"
She thought it was a good thing that she didn't have time to tamper with the account books. If there were any problems, it would be the fault of the previous director and had nothing to do with her.
Unexpectedly, Ji Changqing turned around and ordered his followers: "Baifu, go to the other orphanages and collect all the account books."
Fangyuan Supervisor: "!!!"
His face suddenly looked as if it had been washed, and several layers of color had been lost.
Ji Changqing seemed not to notice her change and said calmly, "Aren't you going to introduce the exhibits here to me?"
"Yes, sir."
Fang Yuanjian explained to Ji Changqing in a confused manner.
Ji Changqing was not very interested in these handicrafts. He just took a few more glances at the embroidered painting of a little girl eating glutinous rice cakes - Feng Qingsui was standing in front of this painting before he entered the door.
The little girl's eating posture is embroidered in a very lively and cute way, but she is a little thin. If she had more flesh on her face, she would look better.
His face darkened even more.
If you are so frugal with your clothes, how can you expect your food to be any better?
The buildings of the Salesian Home are very clean and tidy, and the children have smiles on their faces. The exhibits in the exhibition hall also fully demonstrate the cultivation results of the Salesian Home. At first glance, it looks like a cluster of flowers and outstanding achievements.
If Feng Qingsui had not pointed it out, he might not have noticed the trick.
How did Feng Qingsui know about this?
According to Yan Chi's report, she had never visited the orphanage or sent anyone to investigate before contacting it.
How could they know clearly that the cotton-padded clothes for the children in the orphanage were donated four years ago?
He turned to look at Feng Qingsui, but found that she had already walked outside.
Feng Qingsui left when Wuhua came over.
The adoption information for Delphinium has been obtained, and the goal has been achieved, so there is naturally no need to stay.
When they reached the gate of the Salesian Home, Wuhua went to untie the donkey while she waited there.
Suddenly, there were messy footsteps behind me.
A five or six-year-old boy with half of his face covered with burn scars ran up to her with a girl who was a head shorter than him.
"Thank you, ma'am, for the clothes you gave us. They are very warm."
The boy said gratefully.
"We have nothing to repay you with. This pot of flowers was brought from home by my sister and I. We dug it out during the Chinese New Year and put it in a basin of water. It will bloom beautifully, so I wanted to give it to you."
He raised the clay basin in his hand.
There was a small corner missing from the ceramic pot, and several protruding narcissus bulbs were planted inside.
"Are you really going to give it to me?" Feng Qingsui asked, "This is something you have saved with great difficulty."
The boy nodded seriously: "Really."
The girl nodded and said, "We also have a small pot."
Feng Qingsui took it.
"Thank you, I will take good care of them."
Wuhua just drove the donkey cart over. Feng Qingsui asked her to put the flower pot on the cart, took out a box of pine nut candy and handed it to the two children.
The two children waved their hands and said, "You can keep it for yourself. We are not hungry."
Feng Qingsui squatted down and stuffed the candy box into the little girl's arms, "Take it, remember to hide it, don't let anyone see it."
The little girl was confused and asked: "Why do you want to hide it?"
Her brother patted her head gently and said, "If someone sees it, they'll snatch it away."
The little girl's eyes immediately widened: "Then let's go in after we finish eating!"
Feng Qingsui smiled.
"How clever."
The same idea she had as a child.
She and her sister bought food outside and always ate it before going home.
The brother thought about it and agreed to his sister's proposal.
When the two were sharing the pine nut candy, Daben turned his head and snorted fiercely - the pine nut candy was his snack.
Feng Qingsui smoothed its fur and soothed it, "I'll give you some more when we get back. Add two carrots."
The Benz finally felt a little better.
He rubbed his long head towards Feng Qingsui.
At this moment, the door of the house across the road opened, and a big black dog rushed out and ran towards Feng Qingsui. The servants behind him shouted, "Mobao! Stop! Stop!"
The big black dog seemed not to hear and rushed straight towards Feng Qingsui.
The two children who were eating candy were frightened and stood there like quails.
Daben took a few steps forward and stood in front of Feng Qingsui. The big black dog stopped abruptly, turned a corner, and pounced on Feng Qingsui's shoulder.
Feng Qingsui quickly turned his head away to avoid its big tongue.
He raised his hand and patted its front legs, chuckling, "Get down first, it's too heavy."
The big black dog retracted its legs, stood on the ground, looked up at Feng Qingsui, and wagged its tail.
The servant caught up, picked up the rope, and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, my lady, I will take it away right away."
After saying that, he pulled the leash hard.
"Mobao, let's go back home."
The big black dog didn't move at all.
The servant gritted his teeth and put in a little more strength.
The big black dog turned its head, bit the rope, and pulled it in the opposite direction, dragging the servant to the ground.
Then he held the rope in his mouth and handed it to Feng Qingsui.
Servant: “???”
Ji Changqing came out of the orphanage and happened to see this scene. A hint of surprise flashed through his mind: This dog seems to be very familiar with Feng?
