The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 160: Conferring the title of a county lord, the rewards for the surnames

It can be said that this time she spent a lot of money, manpower, material resources, time, etc., which was many times more than others.

Some were paid 20 wen, some 30 wen, and some 50 wen. For about 50,000 people, the total cost was about 45,000 taels of silver.

Adding food, medicinal materials, cloth and other items, converted into silver, I'm afraid it would cost at least 100,000.

All in all, including other expenses, she spent at least hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and this was still the minimum standard.

Tsk tsk tsk, how long will it take her to earn it back?

It seems like it's time to think about other ways to make money.

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue and other departments glanced in the direction of Princess Yongkang, their sad eyes unconcealed.

Shen Jiarou felt her gaze and looked up, but the officials from the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly lowered their heads and turned away.

Shen Jiarou curled her lips slightly: These people are quite interesting.

After Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty finished conferring rewards, the faces of the Minister of Revenue and others looked even worse, but they still had to put on a smile.

That's right, it's just a forced smile.

Shen Jiarou looked away and saw a familiar figure.

That elegant middle-aged man.

On the way back to the palace, the third princess chatted with her mother.

"Mother, the Emperor has rewarded me with a box of pearls and ten rolls of silk. I will make you clothes when the time comes. I will also make you a beautiful pearl fan."

When Concubine De heard her daughter's words, she was very pleased.

"Okay, do as you wish." Her daughter wanted to be filial, and she couldn't stop her, so she just accepted it.

Thinking of the calligraphy and paintings, writing brushes, inkstones, gold, silver and jewelry that the emperor had rewarded her with, her treasury was finally filled a little.

On the way out of the palace, Bai Yunsu was very excited when she thought about being conferred the title of fifth-rank county lady.

Madam Bai looked at her daughter and said, "Our Yunsu is becoming more and more successful. With the status of a county lady, the families she will marry into in the future will be better."

When Bai Yunsu heard her mother's words, she lowered her head shyly.

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Bai raised her hand and touched her daughter. "Come to think of it, I really have to thank Princess Yongkang."

Thinking of that little person, Bai Yunsu felt happy.

"Mother, you don't know that Princess Yongkang's sister also calls my daughter cousin."

Mrs. Bai was surprised. "Oh, then you must be calling her along with the Third Princess. This is a good thing. Princess Yongkang is of noble status and is deeply loved. Your good relationship is also an extra guarantee."

Her daughter is not very smart, and she is a little worried that she will be bullied by her in-laws in the future.

The eunuch who announced the decree was waiting for Princess Yongkang to go out of the palace and announce the decree at the Princess's Mansion.

Originally they were preparing to go to the princess's residence. When they were in the carriage, Shen Jiarou remembered that her teacher, her mistress and her senior sisters were all at the county lord's residence, so she decided to go to the county lord's residence to announce the decree.

Ruan Qingling was the first to return home to inform Wang Ma and others to prepare the incense table and other items.

The carriage from Princess Yongkang's mansion and the carriage from the eunuch announcing the imperial decree arrived at the palace gate at two quarters past noon.

The bells on the carriage of Princess Yongkang's mansion swayed in the wind as the carriage started, and the clear and pleasant sound was very pleasant to hear.

"Princess, we are almost at the Princess's Mansion."

Shen Jiarou closed her eyes and slept, half awake and half asleep. "Hmm."

When arriving at the Princess's Mansion, Liu Xu read out the imperial edict.

"In compliance with the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that the teacher in Princess Yongkang's mansion shall be promoted to the rank of sixth grade, admitted to the Imperial Academy, awarded a thousand taels of silver, and granted a five-story house. Princess Yongkang's teacher's wife shall be promoted to the rank of sixth grade imperial lady, and awarded a thousand taels of silver. Princess Yongkang's sister shall be promoted to the rank of fifth grade county lady, and granted a county lady's mansion and ten bolts of silk and satin."

The family of three was stunned by the imperial edict.

Mr. Xie's eyes moved slightly: Can't escape after all?

Su Yuning was stunned: I am a sixth-rank lady?

Xie Lianxiang was also shocked: She became a fifth-rank county lady? And there was a county lady's mansion?

Next came the enthronement and rewards of Nanny Wang, Nanny Su, Nanny He, and all the guards and servants.

Liu Xu looked at the girl in a watercolor dress and said respectfully, "Princess, all the money is here, as well as the keys to the adults' mansion and the Xiangjun's mansion. I'll have to trouble you to arrange them."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently, "Eunuch Liu is too polite. Luosang, give Eunuch Liu a hundred taels of hard work money. I will give them all the rewards together."

Liu Xu was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you, Princess, for the reward. By the way, the Emperor said that your teacher can report to the Imperial Academy in two days."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xie stepped forward and bowed.

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu."

After Liu Xu left, Shen Jiarou looked at her senior sister.

"How about we go take a look at Senior Sister Su's new residence after lunch?"

Xie Lianxiang saw the interest in her eyes and smiled gently, "Princess Yi, Junior Sister."

Su Yuning looked at Nanny Wang and the others and shook her head helplessly.

Because of the hot summer weather and having been busy for so long, Shen Jiarou's appetite dropped rapidly.

Su Yuning said worriedly, "Princess, you..." You're eating too little.

Xie Lianxiang took a look and felt that it was too little.

"Princess Junior Sister, has the Imperial Physician examined your appetite?"

"Don't worry, I just have no appetite." It was a hot summer day, and he had been busy for so long. He had been in a coma for five days and five nights, and had to drink Chinese medicine for several days in a row after waking up. How could he have an appetite?

Afraid that they would ask further questions, Shen Jiarou quickly changed the subject.

"Let's eat quickly, and then we'll go visit Senior Sister's Xiangjun Mansion."

Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang, Zhang Zirou, and Zheng Shutong were also interested in their senior sister's Xiangjun Mansion.

When the carriage arrived at the rewarded Xiangjun's mansion, Xu Zhi led people to open the lock, and the others were responsible for pushing the door.

Shen Jiarou walked side by side with her senior sister into the main hall, and everything seemed fine.

"It just needs some cleaning. By the way, Senior Sister, will you move into the Xiangjun Mansion?"

Mr. Xie and Su Yuning were both stunned, obviously not thinking about this.

Shen Jiarou sighed when she saw the expressions of the three people, "Xiangjun Mansion is bigger than the teacher's mansion. It would be a pity if we don't live there."

Ruan Qingling and others looked at each other, obviously no one had thought about this.

Then I went to see Mr. Xie's residence, which also needed someone to disturb him.

Shen Jiarou walked around the courtyard and said, "Don't worry, take your time, but we will definitely need to hire some people to clean up and stuff."

Su Yuning agreed very much. "Princess is right, husband, how about we go and take a look now?"

Mr. Xie thought about it and finally nodded.

The family of three went to a dental clinic in the capital.

Shen Jiarou came to Xianyanlou, where the beautiful ladies gave her beauty treatments and massages to relax her.

"Princess, is the strength appropriate?"

Shen Jiarou, drowsy with her eyes closed, hummed a sound from her nose.

When she woke up, Shen Jiarou felt that she had slept so well all over.

Washing your face and massaging it is so comfortable. The wealthy people in ancient times also knew how to enjoy it.

Feng Jingyuan took the silver and his men and went to the village.

The stewards were surprised to hear that they had received a reward from the emperor.

"Guard Feng, do we really have it?" After living for decades, he was actually rewarded by the current emperor.

Feng Jingyun smiled gently, "Really, we are here to deliver the silver on the orders of the princess. By the way, notify the village heads and villagers."
