Chapter 795 Proposal

The few people were trembling with fright, and kowtowed to the ground one by one, "No, I am wronged, how dare the little people despise the imperial power... The little people dare not..."

Su Rui shouted angrily, "Why are you kowtowing to me here? Did I ask you to do this?"

The man in charge quickly said, "No, not the princess..."

Su Rui said unhappily, "Since it's not, then don't kowtow to me!"

Really, just do what the imperial decree tells you, and you have to pretend to be smart, what's the result?It's people like them who think they're smart.

Angry to angry, Su Rui couldn't really watch them all die, she exhaled and continued, "Now, immediately, immediately, send the male orphans to where they should go, remember, this yard is No male or male will be allowed to enter the female orphanage in the future, including the four of you."

Seeing Su Rui pointing at the four of them, the male stewards hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, villains will never dare to make their own decisions in the future."

Su Rui nodded in satisfaction, and waited for the four male stewards to leave before looking at the remaining female stewards who were already frightened.

"How did you become stewards?"

The four female officials looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said, "Returning to the princess, the villains were maids in the palace in the early years, because they had no family and didn't want to marry, so they lived in a nunnery and depended on each other. ··”

Su Rui raised her eyebrows, "So you were found by Prince An?"

The female officials nodded, "Yes..."

Su Rui stroked her right wrist with her left hand, touching the violet jadeite bracelet she was wearing today, before continuing to ask after a while, "How do you arrange these orphans every day now?"

Female official affairs, "I get up early every day and eat after washing, the older ones clean the courtyard, collect firewood, and the younger ones take care of each other..."

Su Rui frowned, "Didn't you learn anything?"

The female official was stunned for a while, then shook her head blankly, "No, what do you want to learn without explaining?"

Su Rui rubbed her temples with a headache, waved her hands and said, "Forget it, gather the children first, I'll see them in person."

The female official saluted, "Yes, the villains will arrange it now."

After a while, the girls gathered in the yard, and the manager came to invite them.

"Princess, the children are already gathered..."

"Ah."

Su Rui raised her hand, and Xiao Xia hurriedly helped her up.

"Meet the princess..."

Before Su Rui could stand still, she saw the children in the courtyard kneeling on the ground. Su Rui had a terrible headache. Even though she was used to being served by others, she still hated the habit of people kneeling at every turn.

"Get up, get them up."

The stewards hurriedly greeted upon hearing this.

Seeing them getting up, Su Rui looked at them one by one. Although the children's complexions were not very healthy, they looked good.

Although there are not many patches on the clothes, most of them look a lot smaller. Some children’s trouser legs are as short as their calves, and some children’s sleeves are too short. no more...

"How big is the biggest of them? How small is the smallest?"

The steward hurriedly replied, "The oldest one is less than ten years old, and the youngest is only two years old this year..."

Su Ruinan said, "Under ten years old...then you can learn some skills..."

The steward didn't hear clearly, and asked in a daze, "Princess, what did you say?"

Su Rui said "ah", shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

"By the way, it's time to prepare lunch, right?"

The person in charge of the cafeteria nodded hurriedly, "Yes, this point is almost ready..."

Su Rui nodded, "Well, let the children go down to rest, it's hot in July, especially at noon, don't get sunstroke."

"Remember, the children are not allowed to do any work at the hottest time of noon in the future. If there is anything that must be done outside, it should be arranged in the morning and evening when it is cool."

The steward quickly replied, "Yes, the villain has remembered."

Satisfied, Su Rui said to the person in charge of the canteen, "Let's go and see what the children are eating."

At night, after dinner, Su Rui didn't chat with Jiang and the children as usual, but went straight back to the study in the main courtyard.

After Meng Mingzhou got off duty today, he went out to eat and drink with his colleagues from the Ministry of War. It was very strange that he would go back to the main courtyard and see that Su Rui was not in the bedroom.

"Where's your wife?"

Xiaotao hurriedly replied, "Madam has gone to the study..."

Meng Mingzhou was stunned for a moment, "Study?"

Xiao Tao nodded, "Yes, Madam went to the study after dinner..."

Hearing this, Meng Mingzhou turned around and was about to go to the study.

Xiaotao hurriedly asked, "My lord, you don't want to change your clothes?"

Meng Mingzhou was still wearing official uniform at this time, usually he would change into his regular uniform first when he got home.

Meng Mingzhou thought that Su Rui always disliked the hard fabric of official uniforms, so he stopped and said, "Let's change clothes first."

After changing his clothes, Meng Mingzhou came to the study and saw Su Rui lying on the table writing again, not knowing what he was doing.

"Rui'er, what are you writing again?"

Su Rui put down the brush when she heard Meng Mingzhou's voice, and said displeasedly, "What is you? Is it weird for me to write?"

Meng Mingzhou pursed his lips and smiled, "Isn't it strange? Anyway, for so many years, besides settling accounts, I can count the number of times my husband has seen you writing with a brush..."

Su Rui, "..."

Seeing Su Rui looking at him with a speechless expression, Meng Mingzhou smiled, "You haven't told my husband yet, what are you writing about?"

When Su Rui heard that he didn't care about business, she joked about her words, and hurriedly showed Meng Mingzhou the similar plan she had written, "Didn't I be named the director of the Royal Orphanage for Women by His Majesty?"

Meng Mingzhou nodded while looking at her plan, "Well, what then?"

Su Rui rubbed her wrist, which was tired from writing, "Then I took someone to the orphanage today, but I didn't know if I didn't read it. I was shocked when I saw it..."

"Those children have nothing to do except work and eat every day, and they are properly raised in captivity. To put it bluntly, they are no different from raising livestock."

"I feel that since the orphanage has been established, we can't let it go on like this, so I wrote this plan. What do you think?"

After speaking, he looked at Meng Mingzhou expectantly.

Meng Mingzhou carefully read the plan written by Su Rui, and when he put down the plan, he looked at Su Rui with a complicated face, and only spoke after a while.

"Rui'er, do you know that some crafts have always been passed on only to men..."

Su Rui nodded, "I know."

Meng Mingzhou clicked on her proposal, "Then you still..."

Su Rui stood up and said seriously, "I want those children to live on their own, not on men..."

"Of course, this plan cannot be successful at once. My main task now is to make these children have enough food and clothing..."

Meng Mingzhou looked at Su Rui, didn't chew for a while, and finally stepped forward to hug Su Rui, "Rui'er, no matter what you do, I will support you..."
