Chapter 27: The Orphanage
The matter of going up the mountain to collect medicine will be tomorrow, and today I will have a good chat with Qin Changqi about the orphanage.
Thinking about it, Cheng Ge took the initiative to find Qin Changqi, at this time Qin Changqi was writing in the study, the plague was half completed, and he needed to tell the emperor the good news as soon as possible.
"Lord, the princess is here." Fenghe said as he looked at Cheng Ge who was walking towards the garden in the distance.
"Oh?" Qin Changqi was a little flustered inexplicably, his fingers shook slightly, and he accidentally spilled the ink dots on the fold, Qin Changqi looked at the ink dots and sighed, it seemed that he was going to rewrite.
"Lord Wang, are you busy?" Cheng Ge sat opposite Qin Changqi with a big grin, trying to hide his helplessness with such an act, "Let's talk about the orphanage." ”
Qin Changqi looked at Cheng Ge's full of interest, it was rare that the two of them could sit down and talk, so he had to put away the paper and pen on the table, "Tell me, what do you think?" ”
"Now I have written the tender for the orphanage, and I have also asked many merchants to prepare, and I haven't chosen the location yet, so I'll show you the map." As he spoke, Cheng Ge took out a map of Chengzhou, "Where do you think it's good?" ”
Qin Changqi took the map and looked at it carefully, "My suggestion is in the east of the city. As he spoke, Qin Changqi's slender finger pointed to a location in the east of the city, "This is the place with the most residents in Chengzhou, there are not so many shops, so it is very quiet, and it will not hinder their life and study at all, and the most important thing is that there is an abandoned academy here." ”
"An abandoned academy? Is it a place where they can be guaranteed a good stay? Cheng Ge didn't know much about what the inside of the academy was like, and the original owner didn't have the memory of going to the academy to study, so he basically learned martial arts with his father and mother at home, and Mr. Teach was beaten away by her.
"Yes, there are places for students to live here." Qin Changqi said softly, "This king has learned some things about the situation here with Lord Liao before, and I guarantee that their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all fine. ”
"That's good, how about the prince give them an inscription then?" Cheng Ge suddenly thought that the people have an inexplicable worship for the inscription of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and if there is an inscription by the king of Chang'an today, it will definitely make everyone feel that the children in the orphanage are not poor children.
Qin Changqi rarely gave inscriptions to others, but since Cheng Ge proposed it, it didn't hurt to write a word, so he nodded and agreed.
"By the way, there is another question, we can't always be in Chengzhou, and the prefect can't always manage the orphanage, do we need to recruit some more people, and what kind of people are appropriate?" Cheng Ge nodded thoughtfully, and then asked a question that had been discussed with Lu Changting before, "Before, Lu Yuan said that there are many people after the plague who also want to help, can we give priority to them?" ”
Hearing Cheng Ge say Lu Changting's name, Qin Changqi's mood was not very good in an instant, and the two of them actually talked about so many things quietly, and they didn't know it at all.
"This king thinks that you can directly post a notice to put up a list, and you only need a respected dean." Qin Changqi pursed his lips and said coldly.
Cheng Ge didn't know why Qin Changqi suddenly became so indifferent, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, this King of Chang'an is really in a fickle mood, is this the person on the throne like this?
"What you say makes sense, then I'll go and prepare." After speaking, Cheng Ge scratched his head and prepared to leave.
Qin Changqi saw that Cheng Ge left after speaking, without any nostalgia, and his mood was even more unhappy, was it so uncomfortable to stay with himself for a while? Completely forgot what he said to Cheng Ge before, stay away from himself.
Cheng Ge naturally didn't know about Qin Changqi's psychological activities, and after getting Qin Changqi's suggestion, he was more confident in establishing an orphanage this time.
"Princess, the embroidery lady is here." The maid walked in with a delicate-looking embroiderer.
"Princess, the style of clothes prepared before is ready, let me show you." As she spoke, the embroidery girl took out a pile of paper and a few pieces of fabric for Cheng Ge.
Cheng Ge saw that the embroidery girl was very well prepared, and suddenly the interest came, and he walked over in three steps and two steps, and picked up the embroidery girl's drawings to check.
"The princess's previous suggestions and color matching, the slaves and maids felt that it was very suitable, and prepared several styles for the princess to refer to." The embroidery girl introduced Cheng Ge with a smile, "The slaves and maids also chose a favorite style, na, the princess take a look." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out one of the papers, "This is the slave's favorite one." ”
Cheng Ge looked at this and his own design is not very different, but there is a slight difference, but it is more suitable for the aesthetic standards of this dynasty, and the embroidery girls are also very intimate to distinguish the clothes of boys and girls.
"You're so careful." Cheng Ge couldn't help but praise, and he was overjoyed to hold the drawings.
"This time, thanks to the princess, the children and younger brothers of the slaves and maids were able to escape." It turned out that the family members of the embroidered girls were also infected with the plague, and they had all returned home safely in the early morning, and the embroidery girls naturally worked harder for Chengge.
"We should thank the emperor, it was the emperor who let us come here and face difficulties with everyone." Cheng Ge didn't forget to praise the emperor at this time, there is no need to fight for credit for this kind of thing, otherwise if the emperor knew, wouldn't he be worried about the high merit?
Although I don't know if Qin Changqi has the idea of becoming a prince and taking the heir.
"That's what I said, but if it weren't for the medicine of the princess and Imperial Physician Lu, how could the families of the slaves and maids be healed so quickly." As she spoke, the embroidery girl quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Don't talk about this, the princess chooses a fabric, these are not very expensive, but the children will not feel uncomfortable wearing them." ”
Cheng Ge touched it casually, nodded and said, "You can choose, this concubine believes in your vision." ”
He and the embroidery girl chose a lot of fabrics, finalized the clothes of the children in the orphanage, and the embroidery girls hurried to prepare. As soon as the embroidery girl left, Lu Changting came.
"Princess, the minister has something to ask the princess." Lu Changting saw Cheng Ge and saluted, "The disinfectant that the princess said before, the minister still has some opinions. ”
"Lu Yuanzheng, come in." Cheng Ge saw Lu Changting as if he was seeing a confidant, it was rare to know a friend who could talk to him in this dynasty, "I was just about to tell you, I think if it was just a medicine, the people might find it more troublesome, and some people would not do such protection." ”
Lu Changting pondered it carefully and nodded, "Does the princess have any tricks?" ”
"Concubine Ben thinks that it can be diluted with rice wine and sprinkled at home for disinfection." Cheng Ge thought that there were still a lot of ancient wines, and it would be too convenient to use this.
Lu Changting's eyes widened, he didn't expect this.
