In Shen Jiarou's room, Ruan Qingling and Yaer were waiting to make the bed.

The house had just been cleaned and was clean and bright, but it lacked some decoration and seemed too simple.

At noon, they just made some random food. After Yaer and Qingling cleaned up the dishes, they went to the bookstore in the county town.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Shen Jiarou, he hurriedly came forward with a smile.

"Welcome to the bookstore, if you need anything, just tell Bi."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "Boss Deng, you are too polite. I want to select some calligraphy and paintings to put in the study, main hall, and room as decoration. You also know that we have just moved in, and it is still quite empty inside. We need to purchase some suitable items to decorate it so that it will look better."

Bookstore owner Deng agreed.

"What the village master said is true. Then I will introduce him to you."

Seeing her boss’s enthusiasm, Shen Jiarou readily agreed.

"Then it'll be hard work."

Several people walked towards the bookstore, and Boss Deng recommended three pieces of calligraphy and paintings to Shen Jiarou, which were works of famous scholars in the county.

The calligraphy and paintings I bought have three types of scripts: seal, clerical and regular. One pair is for the study, one pair is for her room, and one pair is for the main hall. I will choose ones for the other rooms later.

There are three paintings: the orchid painting which is known as the gentleman's painting, the bamboo painting which is simple and elegant, and the plum blossom painting which is always loved by literati and elegant people.

The paintings of orchids are placed in her room, the paintings of bamboo are placed in the living room, and the paintings of plum blossoms are placed in the study.

After you have selected the calligraphy and paintings, they need to be framed by the bookstore before you can pick them up or send them away.

Shen Jiarou and her group bid farewell to Boss Deng.

"Boss Deng, please stay. I'm sorry to bother you today."

Boss Deng bowed and said goodbye.

"No, no, just remember to send someone to get it when the time comes."

Originally, it could have been delivered directly to his house, but since there were not many people there at the moment, I declined Boss Deng's kindness and left.

The people walking behind Shen Jiarou on the street were very respectful. Shen Jiarou, who was walking in front, said that it felt very strange and she was not quite used to it.

Perhaps Nanny He noticed that she was annoyed, so she changed the subject calmly.

"Master, I see that we have a horse at home. Shouldn't we buy a carriage? It will be more convenient for you to go in and out."

When Shen Jiarou heard what Nanny He said, she remembered something she had never thought of before, and she immediately agreed.

"Mammy is right. Thanks for reminding me."

Nanny He was surprised by Shen Jiarou's address and lowered her head in fear.

"My lord is my master, how can I address you as my old slave? You absolutely cannot do that."

It seems that this little girl still has a lot to teach.

"Mammy, that's my respect for you. It's okay."

Shen Jiarou is not as roundabout as others, dividing people into different levels. She finds it troublesome.

Nanny He was so shocked by Shen Jiarou's words that she couldn't recover for a long time.

When Ruan Qingling saw that Xiangjun had gone far away, she quickly brought Nanny He back to reality.

"Mammy, you should come back to your senses. The country gentleman has gone far away. Let's catch up with him."

Shocked, Nanny He quickly reacted and chased after him.

Shen Jiarou said she wanted to buy a horse-drawn carriage, so the owner of the carriage, upon seeing that it was the lady of the village, immediately came forward respectfully.

"It is a great honor for you to visit my shop. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you."

Seeing that the boss's attitude was so good, Shen Jiarou just waved her hand lightly.

"Boss, take a look at your carriage."

On the recommendation of Boss Ma, Shen Jiarou bought three horse-drawn carriages and prepared to use one in the town's house.

The three carriages weighed a total of 300 taels. One of them was driven by the guards, and the other two were difficult for several people to drive.

"My Lord, neither I nor the maid can drive a carriage, what should we do with the remaining two?"

Shen Jiarou didn't think about this question for a moment, she frowned and pursed her lips slightly.

The sharp-eyed Boss Ma saw that the other party seemed to have encountered difficulties, so he opened the door and asked enthusiastically.

"I wonder what's wrong with you, my fellow countrymen? You don't look very well."

Yaer blurted out what she thought quickly.

"We don't know how to get the other two carriages back."

Shen Jiarou was surprised that she had grown braver. She used to be as timid as a mouse. She was afraid of disturbing others with her voice and courage.

Now that I'm with her, her personality has changed a lot. It seems that taking her out often is a good thing.

When Boss Ma heard this, he immediately laughed heartily and said proudly.

"Hey, what's the matter, Ma? It's just a carriage. If you don't mind, I can ask my men to drive it back for you, okay?"

Shen Jiarou also thought that the boss's suggestion was good, so she agreed.

"Very good, thank you, Boss Ma."

Ma waved his hand and ordered people to help drive the county lord's carriage back safely.

Shen Jiarou, Nanny He, Ruan Qingling, and Yaer took the guard's car back.

Shen Jiarou returned to the Xiangjun Mansion and just sat down in the main hall when she remembered that the fertile land she had been granted added up to 100 acres.

I still don’t know what those fields are used for, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, so I should go back and take a look.

"Mammy, we will go back to town early tomorrow morning. I have been out for quite some time."

Nanny He responded, "What the gentleman said is right. We should go back and take a look. But..."

It was the first time that Shen Jiarou saw Nanny He hesitant.

"Mammy, please speak directly if you have anything to say."

Nanny He responded.

"Our Xiangjun's mansion has also been moved in. I wonder how Xiangjun plans to entertain the guests?"

Shen Jiarou was stunned. "Guest?"

Nanny He nodded.

"I haven't really thought about that. It's still early, so let's talk about it in detail after we get back from town."

She didn't want to add unnecessary trouble to herself in advance for something that she couldn't decide immediately.

Seeing that the country boy had his own ideas, Nanny He stopped talking.

The next morning, just after daybreak, the five of them left in a carriage and headed for the town.

Mrs. Qin, who had been staying at home, accidentally heard her uncle say that her daughter bought a shop and opened a restaurant in the county town. She was very happy for her master.

At present, Mrs. Qin still doesn't know that Shen Jiarou has been conferred the title of county lady. She just stays at home diligently.

She cleaned the house very cleanly, for fear that her daughter might come back unexpectedly one day, and if something was not cleaned properly, it would affect the daughter's mood.

Mrs. Qin, who was concentrating on embroidering a handkerchief in the yard, was suddenly startled by a series of knocks on the door. She accidentally pricked her finger with the needle and a few drops of blood came out.

Mrs. Qin quickly put down her handkerchief, stood up and walked to the main road in front of the house.

"Who is it?"

Shen Jiarou, who was standing outside the house, thought that Mrs. Qin was quite alert, so she had to open the door directly.

"Sister-in-law Qin, it's me."

Mrs. Qin got excited when she heard this and quickly opened the door of the house.

As the door slowly opened, Shen Jiarou's familiar and childish face appeared directly in Mrs. Qin's eyes.

"Girl, you are finally back."

Shen Jiarou knew that she would be away from home for quite a long time this time.

"Sister-in-law Qin, let's go into the house. I'll introduce you to the new member of our family."

It was then that Mrs. Qin discovered that there were three strangers following the girl.

"it is good."

Mrs. Qin nodded at them politely.

When they returned, they found the floor spotless and the items neatly arranged. Nanny He couldn't help but feel satisfied. It seemed that the village master had chosen a good person. Sister Qin went to the kitchen to cook some home-cooked dishes. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Jiarou took them to see the fertile land.

Li Zhuzi and Cao Sheng, who had been in charge of guarding the gate, were very happy and excited to see the young master whom they had not seen for a long time coming here, and hurried forward to greet him.

"Little boss."

"Little boss."

Shen Jiarou nodded at them and asked with concern, as if a leader was inspecting work.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Li Zhuzi and Cao Sheng hurriedly waved their hands. They were just guarding the goal, so it wasn't really hard.

"Not hard, not hard."

Shen Jiarou found it amusing and funny to see them shaking their heads in unison.

Looking at the vast fields from afar, I always feel that this place in autumn is a bit lonely.

“It felt like something was missing.”

Nanny He was a little surprised when she saw that all the fields nearby belonged to her master.

This little master of her family is really capable.

At such a young age, he already has five houses, fields, and shops, which he bought all by himself. Not to mention the area of ​​​​them, his courage alone is unmatched.

Shen Jiarou thought for a long time and finally knew what was missing here.

It's just a house. If you build a house, you can use a special room to store miscellaneous items, such as hoes.

During the harvest season, food and other items can also be piled up.

The more Shen Jiarou thought about it, the more she felt it was appropriate, so she quickly asked the two of them.

"Do you know anyone who is repairing the house?"

Li Zhuzi and Cao Sheng looked at each other, not understanding what the young master was going to do.

"Yes, but repairing a house is a big deal and it costs a lot of money."

Shen Jiarou waved her hand.

"Money is not a problem. If anyone knows someone, please recommend me a place. I plan to renovate a house in the middle of that place and use it as a farm to live in, store sundries, and food, etc."

The two of them were shocked when they heard this, and the four people behind Shen Jiarou also looked shocked.

Li Zhuzi reacted and quickly agreed.

"Don't worry, young master. My brother-in-law's family does this. I will definitely help you with it."

Shen Jiarou nodded and took everyone back.
