The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 11 The imperial edict arrives

After the five-day opening event, business returned and began to return to normal.

Shen Jiarou was helping out in the shop that day, and lunch time was also a busy time for them.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and Lord Li arrived in official uniform.

Shen Jiarou was confused by this operation, and the people around her were whispering.

"Why did Lord Li suddenly come here? And he's wearing his official uniform?"

"Yes, there are so many officers and soldiers behind him."

Everyone was very confused.

Seeing that Mr. Li had already arrived at the door of the shop, Shen Jiarou had no choice but to hurried to meet him.

"Master Li, what are you doing?"

Lord Li, who was walking out of breath, stopped immediately and quickly gave instructions to Shen Jiarou.

"Little girl, hurry up and get ready, the imperial edict has arrived."

His old arms and legs are so tired.

Shen Jiarou and everyone around her were confused. What did the imperial edict have to do with them?

From what Lord Li said, it seems to be related to her?

Shen Jiarou thought carefully about what she had done in the past. It seemed that she had not done anything against the law, right?

That shouldn't be a bad thing.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. Could it be a good thing?

Lord Li saw that Shen Jiarou was daydreaming and urged her on.

"Hey, little girl, hurry up and get ready, the imperial edict will be here soon."

The process of receiving the imperial edict is very complicated, and this girl doesn't take it seriously at all.

Lord Li really wronged Shen Jiarou this time. She had never received an imperial edict before, so she didn't know how to handle it, and Lord Li didn't explain it directly.

Shen Jiarou was also speechless. She spread her hands and spoke helplessly.

"Sir, this is my first time and I have no experience."

Lord Li thought about it carefully and agreed. How could this country guy possibly know so much?

Oops, he was careless.

When he was about to talk to Shen Jiarou, the imperial edict arrived.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Lord Li quickly knelt down in the direction of the eunuch who announced the imperial edict. When the people saw that even their parents had knelt down, they also knelt down.

"Long live my emperor."

The people then followed suit and shouted.

"Long live my emperor."

The eunuch who announced the decree looked serious.

"Everyone, get up."

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree looked at Shen Jiarou beside Lord Li and thought that the girl in front of him should be her.

"Are you Shen Yiyi?"

Shen Jiarou raised her head and replied calmly.

"My name is Shen Yiyi."

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree nodded and spoke seriously.

"Shen Yiyizhi."

When Shen Jiarou heard that it was really hers, although she was confused, she quickly knelt on the ground.

"The common people accept the order."

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree glanced at her indifferently, and was very satisfied to see that she was kneeling properly.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Shen Jiarou is kind and benevolent, gentle, diligent and docile, and is hereby canonized as a Lady of the Country, a fifth-rank official, and given the name Jiarou, the title Yongkang, and a residence with five courtyards. From now on, she will be called the Lady of the Country of Yongkang. She is also granted 50 mu of good farmland, 50 mu of good land, 10 pieces of silk and satin, 500 taels of silver, and the fiefdom of Anren County, and is entitled to % of Anren County's tax revenue. This is decreed."

Shen Jiarou was somewhat shocked by her reward, which included a rank, a title, a house, and fertile land. The most amazing thing was that she even had a fiefdom?

She really didn't understand what this operation was.

At the reminder of the eunuch who announced the imperial decree, Shen Jiarou expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

After saying this, she quickly knelt down and raised her head, offering both hands to receive the imperial edict, and the eunuch who announced the edict immediately placed the edict in her hands.

"I congratulate the Lord of Yongkang. I wish you all the best."

Shen Jiarou took the imperial edict and stood up. Seeing that she had stood up, everyone followed suit.

Shen Jiarou looked back at Zhang You. Zhang You understood and immediately took out a ten-liang silver ingot from the counter and handed it to Shen Jiarou.

Shen Jiarou took the silver, pulled her father-in-law aside, and spoke softly.

"Eunuch, take the silver and have some tea."

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree was very satisfied and happy with Shen Jiarou's performance. He took it with a smile and congratulated her.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I also congratulate you."

Shen Jiarou saw the eunuch who announced the imperial decree take her money and heard his congratulations, and she smiled back.

"Father-in-law, you're welcome."

Shen Jiarou thought it was over, but she didn't expect the eunuch to speak again.

"Oh, my Lord, I followed the Emperor's orders and brought a teaching nanny, a personal maid, and a secret guard, a total of three people, all of whom were personally ordered by the Emperor to be brought to you."

Shen Jiarou was shocked. What was going on with the emperor?

There were rewards and arrangements for people. Then, looking behind the eunuch who announced the decree, there was indeed a person dressed as a nanny, a person dressed as a palace maid, and a person dressed as a black secret guard. It seemed that everything was true.

"Yongkang thanks the emperor, please convey it to the eunuch."

After Shen Jiarou finished speaking, the three people behind the eunuch who announced the decree hurried forward to salute.

"This old servant pays homage to the Lord of Yongkang."

"Your servant pays homage to the Lord of Yongkang."

"I pay my respects to the Lord of Yongkang."

Shen Jiarou waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.

The eunuch who announced the decree thanked Shen Jiarou for her hospitality and left with his men.

After the eunuch who announced the imperial decree and others left, the people in the crowd began to get excited.

Lord Li hurried forward and bowed.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the Lord of Yongkang."

When the people saw the county magistrate saluted, they also hurriedly followed suit.

"I pay my respects to the Lord of Yongkang."

Shen Jiarou quickly said to everyone, "Master Li, please excuse yourself. Everyone, please excuse yourself."

The guys at the Wanshi Ruyi Hotpot Shop were also stunned.

Their little boss suddenly became a county lady, and their Anren County was actually the county lady's fiefdom.

Wait, they seem to have forgotten something.

From the fifth rank?

Wouldn’t that mean he is greater than the county magistrate?

The guys at the Wanshi Ruyi Hotpot Shop, following Zhang You's lead, quickly followed suit to congratulate.

"Young master, congratulations."

"Young master, congratulations."

Then the guests and the people came to congratulate.

"Congratulations, young master."

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiang."

Shen Jiarou thanked them and spoke generously.

"Thank you for your congratulations. Today, all guests who come to the restaurant to eat hot pot will enjoy a 5% discount, and each table will receive a jar of wine for free."

The guests who were already dining were immediately delighted and thanked him upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Master Xiao."

Another person immediately retorted, "Hey, why is it still Xiao Dongjia? You should say Xie Xiangjun."

As soon as the visitor said this, the guest in front immediately bowed and apologized.

"That's right, Fan said something wrong, I hope you won't take it as an offense."

Shen Jiarou said that it was fine. "No problem, no problem. Everyone, eat and drink well."

Everyone laughed happily, and people outside the shop rushed in to eat. Today was a good day, there was a 5% discount, and free wine, so they had to enjoy a good meal.

As more customers came in, the restaurant was immediately full.

Some guests who had not yet secured a seat began to walk into the private rooms.

Shen Jiarou was not too surprised by this scene, but Lord Li standing next to her was surprised by it.

"This……"

These people are too crazy, but on second thought, the hot pot is so delicious, and the county magistrate has announced a 5% discount and a jar of wine for each table, anyone would be excited to hear this.

Thinking of the hotpot he had at the last opening, Lord Li felt himself drooling.

But the next moment, Shen Jiarou fulfilled his thought.

"If Lord Li is not busy, please stay and have hotpot together."

Lord Li was shocked after hearing this. This country gentleman invited me just like that. What a generous gesture.

However, thinking of the deliciousness and excitement of hot pot, Lord Li felt a little embarrassed.

"Since you have invited me so kindly, I will not refuse."

Shen Jiarou was amused by the sight of Lord Li looking like he wanted to eat but was so serious about it, but she remained calm.

"Then please come in, Lord Li."

Shen Jiarou politely invited Lord Li into the shop, and Lord Li politely and respectfully asked Shen Jiarou to go first.

In terms of rank, he was just a seventh-rank county magistrate, which was not comparable to the fifth-rank county magistrate of a county lady.

"Please come in, Mr. Xiang."

As soon as Shen Jiarou invited Lord Li into the shop, Zhang You began to arrange the three people brought by her father-in-law.

"Three of you, the young master asked me to take you to eat hot pot. Please follow me."

Zhang You brought the three people into a private room, and they immediately sat down properly.

When Zhang Youyi saw them, he couldn't help but admire the three of them for being so particular. They sat so upright. They were indeed the people arranged by the emperor. They were different from ordinary people.
