Chapter 38 Futian Courtyard(1/2)

"Um!"

Facing Ning Fu's inquiry, the young man nodded.

"But because of Scarface?"

Ning Fu asked again.

"That's right, I discussed the problem of the poor with Mr. Xiao last time. I thought I already knew the poor very well, but now I realize how shallow I am!"

The skinny boy was quite depressed when he finished speaking.

"Brother's compassion and compassion are worthy of admiration, but there are too many poor people in the world. Brother, just one person cannot help them!"

Ning Fu opened his mouth to console him.

"But we can't just turn a blind eye, right?"

The young man was still unwilling.

"Of course you can't turn a blind eye. I met Scarface, so I helped him. As an ordinary person, there is only this much I can do."

Ning Fu showed a helpless expression at the end.

Individual abilities are limited. Ning Fu is not the Holy Mother, let alone the savior. If you meet someone, you can help. If you don't meet him, you can only treat him as invisible.

When the young man heard this, he glanced at Ning Fu, and then fell silent again.

Ning Fu didn't interrupt anymore, stood up and went back to the kitchen to do his own business.

In the end, the boy paid the bill and left, leaving the four dishes on the table without using a few chopsticks. This made Scarface extremely happy.

Not long after the young man left, the middle-aged servant who had been following the young man suddenly returned to the store.

"Xiao Langjun, is that scar-faced boy still there?"

The middle-aged servant saluted Ning Fu very respectfully, much more politely than the previous middle-aged man.

"Here, what do you want to see him for?"

Ning Fu also looked at the middle-aged servant with some surprise.

"I'm not looking for him, but my master asked someone to send a message to the scar-faced boy to go to Futian Courtyard tomorrow. Someone will definitely take over!"

The middle-aged servant said with a smile again.

"Who is your master?"

Ning Fu asked curiously.

He had guessed that the boy had an extraordinary background before, but now he was even more surprised. Futian Yuan was an institution established by the imperial court after all, and ordinary people really had no influence there.

"Well...don't embarrass me, little man!"

The middle-aged servant obviously did not dare to reveal the boy's identity.

"Okay, then thank your master for me!"

Ning Fu didn't force it and immediately offered his hand to the other party.

The middle-aged servant said goodbye and left. Ning Fu came to the backyard and told Scarface the good news.

"Don't be in a hurry to come to the store tomorrow. Take your companions to Futian Courtyard first and come back after they are settled!"

"good!"

Scarface said calmly.

At a young age, he had long learned to hide his emotions, and would only show a happy expression when eating.

The next morning, Scarface didn't come as expected. It wasn't until almost noon that he ran into the store with sweat on his face.

"You guys must have come here with some food in hand!"

Ning Fu looked at the panting scar face and immediately guessed what he was thinking.

Scarface smiled sheepishly, "He ran so fast because he was afraid of missing lunch."

Ning Fu never treats himself or those around him badly when it comes to eating.

Lunch was steamed rice and some fried specialties.

Scarface held a bowl as big as a human head and kept eating, eager to make up for all the food he had missed before.

Every time Ning Fu saw Scarface eating, he would think of Tiger Head.

If two rice buckets, one big and one small, eat together, the scene will definitely be spectacular.

"Has everything been arranged at Futian Yuan?"

Ning Fu waited until Scarface had almost eaten before he asked.

"Well, the officials in the courtyard assigned us a small house, and we won't have to worry about wind or rain anymore."

"Do you care about the food?"

Ning Fu asked curiously. He didn't know much about ancient welfare institutions like Futian Yuan.

Scarface was about to answer when suddenly he saw someone coming in from outside the store.

Ning Fu looked up, only to find that it was still the thin boy who came in.

"Brother, you came here really early today. Please worry about Scarface!"

When Ning Fu saw the young man, he immediately smiled and came forward.

"It's just a little effort, young man, don't be polite!"

The young man seemed to be in a good mood, and his overall complexion looked better.

Scarface also stepped forward to thank him at this time, and the young man asked him very kindly: "How is it over at Futian Courtyard? Can you eat enough?"

When Scarface heard this, he showed a troubled expression and looked at Ning Fu.

"be honest!"

Ning Fu encouraged.

"The courtyard gives out gruel every morning and evening. I don't have enough to eat, but I won't starve to death."

Scarface replied immediately.

The young man's smile suddenly solidified on his face.

He thought that by arranging for Scarface to enter Futian Yard, he would be able to ensure that he had enough food and clothing, but he did not expect that even the most basic food could not be guaranteed.

"The imperial court gives Futianyuan so much money every year, how can it be possible that they don't even have enough to eat? Someone must be taking advantage of it!"

The young man slammed the table and said angrily.

Scarface seems to have a different view on teenagers.

He hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Actually... I think Futian Courtyard is pretty good, and the officials there are quite kind."

"These officials are the best at pretending, and they never tell the truth. You must have been deceived by him!"

The young man still insisted on his opinion.

"We can't be so arbitrary. Maybe Futianyuan has its own difficulties."

Ning Fu suddenly said.

"Young man, how can you speak for those corrupt officials?"

The young man seemed very excited.

"Now that the matter has not been found out, my brother is arbitrarily blaming others. I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right?"

Ning Fu asked with a smile.

"you……"

The young man was choked and speechless.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was following the young man suddenly stepped forward and persuaded: "Master, don't be anxious. As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing. Futian Courtyard is not far away. Why don't we go and see it with our own eyes? Then we will know?"

"

"good idea!"

The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked Ning Fu again: "Young Master, do you dare to go to Futian Courtyard with me?"

"Just in time, I also want to go to Futian Yuan to broaden my horizons!"

Ning Fu immediately agreed.

So Ning Fu closed the shop door and boarded the young man's carriage with a scarred face.

There were originally only two Futian-in buildings in Tokyo, the north and the south. During Yingzong's reign, the east and west buildings were added.

The closest place to Ningfu is Dongfutian Courtyard. It takes half an hour to walk, but the horse-drawn carriage is even faster.

There are not many people around Futianyuan, so it looks a bit desolate.

When Ning Fu and others came to the gate of Futian Courtyard, they saw a few old men sitting under the wall basking in the sun, and a dozen children playing around inside.
