The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 174 Daddy is really poor

Zhang Zirou said politely, "Old man, is there anyone at Mr. Tang's home?"

Her princess is here now, she can’t go back halfway.

The old man shook his head. “No one.”

Everyone was shocked again. Shen Jiarou, Ruan Qingling and others looked at Bao Zhiqing. Bao Zhiqing touched his nose and nodded awkwardly.

Zhen Luosang looked at the princess and said, "Princess, what should we do now?"

Seeing this, the neighbor suggested, "If you don't mind, you can come into the old man's room and sit for a while."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and sighed, "Sorry to bother you, old man."

It's better than staying outside. She doesn't want to be treated like a monkey.

The old man welcomed the few people in and made some tea, but it was just ordinary buckwheat tea.

Seeing this, Shen Jiarou didn't say anything. She picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, took a sip and put it down.

"I'm really sorry to bother you today."

The slightly reserved old man looked up at the little girl opposite him.

"No trouble, I have nothing to do at home."

When Emperor Wenzong of Tang returned in his official uniform, he was stunned to find a luxurious carriage parked in front of his house.

Shen Jiarou had tried her best to get the poorer carriage in the mansion, but in the eyes of Emperor Wenzong of Tang, this was already very luxurious.

Feng Jingyun was in charge of the outside area. When he saw Lord Tang, he immediately said something and went in.

"Princess, Master Tang is back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiarou stood up with the help of Ruan Qingling.

"Old man, sorry to bother you. I will take my leave today."

Shen Jiarou turned and left, and saw the elegant middle-aged man who she had passed by once, and she bowed to him as a junior.

"Meet Daddy."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang stared at the girl in disbelief with his eyes wide open. When he saw him saluting, he quickly performed the etiquette between the emperor and his subject.

"I see you, princess."

When the old man came out and heard this, he almost stumbled. Fortunately, Li Leping supported him in time.

The old man thanked and bowed, "Thank you, little brother."

Li Leping said calmly, "It's okay, it's just a small matter."

Shen Jiarou whispered to Ruan Qingling, and then followed Tang Wenzong into the mansion.

Ruan Qingling picked up a bucket of fresh green tea from the gift and walked up to the old man.

"Old man, this is a little gift from my master. I hope you will accept it."

Shen Jiarou was extremely surprised when she walked into the house. This place was worse than her house in Anren County Town, and even less comfortable than her hometown in the countryside.

The only advantage is that this place is quite clean and tidy. It can be seen that the new father is a diligent and particular person.

Emperor Wenzong of Tang was quite reserved throughout the whole process, and he did not expect the princess to visit suddenly.

At this moment, he looked a little uneasy and fearful...

Shen Jiarou sat on the wooden bench and felt a little uncomfortable on her butt, but her expression changed slightly and she calmed down.

"Dad, are you leaving the government office?"

Hearing the girl's greeting, Emperor Wenzong of Tang nodded uncomfortably.

"Back Princess, yes."

Thinking of this moment, Shen Jiarou looked at Xu Zhi.

"Second Master, go to Shiyaxuan and bring back some food for us."

Xu Zhi bowed and said, "Yes, Princess. I will take my leave."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang originally wanted to say no, but when he thought of his family’s poverty, he held back and spoke.

Tang Wenzong stood up, took the kettle and poured water, then carefully placed it in front of the girl and said, "Princess, drink some water."

Shen Jiarou smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Dad."

The atmosphere in the room was very strange. In order to avoid making her father feel uncomfortable, Shen Jiarou stood up on her own initiative.

"Daughter, go outside and take a look."

Tang Wenzong nodded uncomfortably, "Okay."

He had never gotten along with a little girl before, so he didn't know how to get along with her. Besides, this girl was a princess, the legitimate daughter of His Majesty and the Queen.

The few people who came outside felt a lot more relaxed.

Shen Jiarou took a deep breath and exhaled, then looked around. It seemed that the place was not very big.

Shen Jiarou looked at Bao Zhiqing and whispered, "Master, how big is this place?"

"Princess, about nine points."

(One point = 33 square meters, nine points is about 300 square meters).

She looked around the tree in the yard for a long time and said, "This is a cherry tree."

It was the first time she had seen a domestic cherry tree.

As soon as Emperor Wenzong of Tang came out, he saw everyone looking at him with their necks craned.

"Do you eat cherries? I can pick some. They are quite sweet."

The girls looked at each other and looked at their own princesses enviously.

Shen Jiarou turned around and looked at her father who was walking towards her.

"Dad, let them pick them, thank you."

Hearing the girl's cheerful and polite voice of thanks, Emperor Wenzong of Tang nodded and smiled slightly.

Xu Zhi came back carrying two food boxes. Seeing everyone eating cherries in the yard, he was visibly stunned.

Did he miss something?

Feng Jingyun saw his brother coming back and whispered, "You're back, come and eat some cherries."

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang took the food boxes, carried them to the main hall, and began to place them one by one.

Xu Zhi took the cherry handed to him by his brother and tasted one.

“It’s sweet.”

Feng Jingyun smiled.

Ruan Qingling walked to the door and said, "Princess, sir, the meal is ready, you can eat now."

Shen Jiarou put down the cherries and looked at Tang Wenzong.

"Dad, let's go in and have dinner."

The backs of two figures, one big and one small, walked into the main room.

This was the first time that Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty had dishes from Shiyaxuan Restaurant, and he felt that every dish was delicious.

He also didn't expect that one day he would be able to eat the new dishes of Shi Ya Xuan Restaurant.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two men came to the courtyard to rest in the cool air.

Ruan Qingling and the others had already eaten some cakes and pastries, so they didn't feel hungry at the moment and fanned their princess.

"Dad, don't you have someone here to serve you?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang did not have that habit, mainly because of financial constraints.

"It's good to be alone."

Shen Jiarou didn't know what to say for a moment.

"And you going to court?"

"walk."

Everyone was shocked.

"It would be exhausting to walk from here to the palace."

Oh my god, this new daddy is a ruthless man.

She remembered that officials above the fourth rank had to attend court every day.

Shen Jiarou thought about it carefully and decided that this wouldn't work.

"Dad, let Li Pingle stay and take care of your daily life, so that father and daughter can rest assured."

Originally, Emperor Wenzong of Tang was ready to refuse, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he nodded slightly.

Shen Jiarou left and waved goodbye to Tang Wenzong.

In the carriage, Shen Jiarou felt more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it.

My father was an upright official, but he was incorruptible. He was an official appointed by the imperial court, but his family was penniless. It was really sad.

"Sister Qingling, go back and send someone to bring an ordinary carriage from the mansion."

Bao Zhiqing, who was driving, couldn't help but speak out when he heard it.

"Master, it seems that there is no room for a carriage at your house."

Shen Jiarou felt like she should thank him: the atmosphere was already set, but the carriage couldn't stop.

"Then send someone to see if there is a house for sale near Daddy, buy it, and then send the carriage there. For now, let Li Lesong drive the carriage to pick up Daddy to go to court every day."

So the next day, Emperor Wenzong of Tang saw a carriage parked in front of his house, and a strange young man dressed as a guard was leaning against the horse's back.

"Sir, are you going to court? Please get in the carriage."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang suddenly realized that it must be the carriage arranged by the princess.

"The princess sent you here, didn't she?"

"Yes, my lord."

At this time, Li Leping came out and said, "Hey, brother."

Tang Wenzong was stunned. "You two are brothers."

The two of them bowed, "Yes, sir."
