The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou arranged her business matters and started her etiquette course.

That morning, Nanny He got up early and began to prepare for the etiquette matters, and Shen Jiarou also asked someone to remind her to get up early.

Ruan Qingling and Yaer came to the door with wash water.

"My lord, it's time to get up. We still have to learn etiquette today."

Shen Jiarou was sleeping soundly, and in her daze she seemed to hear someone calling her.

I turned over and continued to sleep, but the noise outside the door continued.

She suddenly remembered that today was the day to start learning etiquette, so she immediately kicked away the quilt covering her body and spoke vaguely towards the door.

"coming."

Phew, she was so scared that she almost forgot something important.

Ruan Qingling and Yaer came in one after another to help Shen Jiarou wash.

Shen Jiarou was very satisfied with Yaer's increasingly skilled movements and graceful manners. It seemed that Nanny He had trained Yaer a lot in private.

But Yaer is a very honest girl with a simple mind and no ulterior motives. She will learn whatever you ask her to learn.

He quickly finished his breakfast, put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked slowly to the main hall, and started his etiquette class.

Seeing Nanny He who was ready, Shen Jiarou nodded slightly to her.

Logically, this shouldn't be necessary, but Nanny He respected her from the bottom of her heart, so she usually treated her with courtesy.

"Mammy, I'm ready, let's get started."

Nanny He glanced at her and nodded slightly.

"Okay, today we will learn the etiquette of sitting and eating."

Shen Jiarou knew that there were many rules in ancient times, so she didn't find it strange and nodded obediently.

"it is good."

Nanny He was on high alert, with her head held high and her chest puffed out, and spoke to Shen Jiarou.

"We learn to sit first. The way to sit depends on one's identity and age. As the saying goes, there is a way to sit and a way to stand. The two complement each other and are indispensable."

Ruan Qingling and Yaer were also listening attentively.

"To sit, you need to sit quietly without making any sound. Normally, you should sit on two-thirds of the chair. If you meet an elder or someone of higher status than you, you should sit on one-third of the chair to show respect."

After studying for a few hours, she was exhausted.

This etiquette seems simple, but it is quite complicated to actually learn it.

At dinner time, Nanny He asked Shen Jiarou to demonstrate each step to her one by one.

"My Lord, please show me how to do this."

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I'll start."

Nanny He nodded, Ruan Qingling and Yaer stood by to serve, both of them looking at their master all the time.

"First, you should normally sit down on two-thirds of the seats. If there are elders or people of higher status, you should sit on one-third of the seats. Eating is called "dinner", and dinner is called "dinner". If there are elders or people of higher status, you should wait until they are seated before you can sit down."

Nanny He on the side was satisfied with Shen Jiarou's learning results and nodded in appreciation.

The two personal servants were amazed at their master's memory.

Seeing that there was no problem, Shen Jiarou continued to work on her own learning achievements.

"Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping, and don't make any noise while eating..."

She was exhausted after eating dinner, which was more difficult than thinking about business. Fortunately, she had a good memory and remembered all the rules and etiquette taught by Nanny He, so it was not that difficult.

After dinner, Shen Jiarou asked someone to prepare toiletries so that she could take a shower, change clothes, and have a comfortable sleep.

Ruan Qingling gently covered her master with the quilt.

"My dear, go to bed soon. You have been tired all day."

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Ruan Qingling left quietly, closed the door, and turned around to reply to Nanny He.

Nanny He, who was walking in the yard, saw Ruan Qingling come back and asked softly.

"Have you rested, my friend?"

Ruan Qingling nodded respectfully and said, "Madam, the master has gone to bed."

Nanny He nodded and motioned for them to go down.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the warm sunlight shone into the house through the doors and windows.

Shen Jiarou was awakened by a strong light.

She stood up slowly and rubbed her eyes lazily.

"Yeah, it's dawn soon."

Alas, she hasn't gotten enough sleep yet.

At this time, Ruan Qingling just pushed the door open and saw her master waking up, and greeted him with a smile.

"My Lord, you are awake now. I have brought you the toiletries."

Yesterday we taught the etiquette of sitting down and dining, and today we will teach the etiquette of reception.

Shen Jiarou, neatly dressed, walked gracefully in front, followed by Ruan Qingling and Yaer.

Nanny He in the main hall was pleased to see that her master was gradually getting into good shape, so she stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Country Lord."

Shen Jiarou smiled and nodded to Nanny He.

"Madame He, let's get started."

"Okay, the highest etiquette for entertaining guests is seven cups of tea, eight cups of rice, and ten cups of wine. This is for entertaining guests during festivals."

Shen Jiarou is still very serious when learning etiquette.

"There are eight kinds of etiquette for entertaining guests. The first is to wipe the dust off the seats and invite the guests to take a seat as a sign of respect. The second is to sweep the couch: wipe the dust off the couch to show welcome to the guests..."

After two days of study, Shen Jiarou has begun to behave like a lady from a noble family.

After relaxing, Nanny He mentioned the matter of buying the servant to Shen Jiarou.

Shen Jiarou thought for a while and felt that there was no rush.

"Mammy, don't worry for now. It's hard to adapt to so many people all at once."

Nanny He knew in her heart that her master didn't like to be surrounded by people, so she decided to go along with her for the time being.

"Okay, let's talk about this later."

Nanny He suddenly interrupted, "I don't know how the road construction arrangements in the town are going."

When Shen Jiarouting heard her mention it, she also remembered this incident.

She hadn't paid attention to anything other than learning etiquette in the past two days. She should go and take a look, after all, she was the sponsor.

As they were talking about this, Bao Zhiqing came to report that a guest had arrived.

Shen Jiarou and Nanny He looked at each other and thought, could it be Lord Li?

"who is it?"

The guard bowed and saluted, "Return to the hometown, it's Lord Li."

Shen Jiarou guessed that Lord Li must have come because of the road construction, otherwise she really couldn't think of anything else that would make the county magistrate come to visit in person.

As they were each guessing in their hearts, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone looked outside. Nanny He signaled Bao Zhiqing to open the door, and Ruan Qingling was responsible for serving tea and water.

Lord Li and the lawyer were standing outside the door at this time, wondering why the local gentleman had no guards guarding his house in the town.

When the two were puzzled, the door opened and a man in black brocade clothes came into view. They recognized that he was the man who protected the county lord.

The two nodded slightly at him and said, "Excuse me, we are here to visit Xiangjun."

Bao Zhiqing bowed to them.

"Please come in, my master is waiting in the main hall."

The two were a little confused when they heard this. Could it be that the village master had foreseen it? Did he know that they were coming, so he waited in the main hall in advance?

In fact, they thought too much. Today in the living room, they happened to run into Shen Jiarou learning etiquette.

The only reason he knew they were coming to visit was because Bao Zhiqing, who knew Kung Fu, told him.

Bao Zhiqing led the two men to the main hall. When they saw the girl in the main hall, they immediately bowed and saluted.

"Your humble servant greets the local lord."

Shen Jiarou sat gracefully on the chair and greeted softly.

"Please take a seat, both of you!"

After thanking him, the two of them slowly sat down.

"Thank you, Xiangjun."

Shen Jiarou is a straightforward person and comes straight to the point.

"Are you two here to repair the road?"

Lord Li and the master looked at each other and said, "That's right. I heard from the people below that the township lord gave 1200 taels of silver to build roads for the people. I would like to thank the township lord on behalf of the people."

Shen Jiarou saw the two grown men stand up and bow, then waved her hand to signal them to sit down.

"Your Excellency does not need to do this. Anren County is my fiefdom, and it is reasonable for me to do something for it."

Lord Li looked at the girl in front of him, and nodded in agreement when he heard her speak like that. His respect for the lady deepened in his heart.

Time passed quickly and it was already time for dinner. Nanny He whispered something in Shen Jiarou's ear.

"My lord, it's time for dinner."

Shen Jiarou nodded and warmly invited the two to dine together.

"I'm sure you two are hungry. The house has prepared a meal. Why don't you stay and try some farm-style stir-fry?"

Lord Li and the lawyer stood up and said.

"In this case, it is better to obey your command."

Everyone laughed and the scene was lively. After dinner, the two returned to the town’s branch office to rest.
