The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 21 Yuan Shundi's Thoughts

Seeing that winter was approaching, Shen Jiarou, together with Nanny He and others, returned to the town to check on the road construction progress.

When Shen Chenyu found out, he immediately put down what he was doing and came to Shen Jiarou.

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

Shen Jiarou raised her hand towards him.

"Brother Shen, please stand up. How is the road being repaired?"

Shen Chenyu bowed and said, "Reporting to the Lord of Yongkang, it is expected to be completed the day after tomorrow."

By then, it will be very convenient for them to go to work or for the people to travel.

"Well, that's good. Thank you for your help."

After saying this, Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling, and Ruan Qingling handed the pastries she brought from the county to Shen Chenyu.

"This is the osmanthus cake given to you by the master."

Shen Chenyu took it with surprise.

"Thank you, Mr. Yongkang."

This country lady is so nice that she even brings him cakes and food every time she comes. He has to work harder and more seriously and not let her down.

The second day was another sunny day, and the late autumn weather was gradually coming to an end.

Li Zhuzi, who was in charge of supervising the manor, and Cao Sheng, who was renovating the manor, waited until the renovation was completed. They went to the town together and saw the young boss's shop collecting firewood and charcoal. They all exclaimed in surprise.

"Great, we have something to do again."

They happily returned home and started collecting firewood with their families to sell for money.

On the third day, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the roads to all villages were finally accessible.

All the villagers in each village applauded and cheered, and the village chiefs raised funds to buy firecrackers to celebrate.

"That's great. Now that the road is open, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the market."

"Yes, in the future, if we have any mountain products, we can sell them at the market."

Lord Li rode his horse to the main road and saw so many people ahead, so he pulled the reins and stopped.

"Xu."

When Shen Chenyu saw the adult coming, he immediately stepped forward and held the horse.

"Sir, you are here."

Lord Li dismounted and walked around to look around. He was very satisfied with the roads in the town. All the roads led to the town, so even if they led to the upper reaches, it would be considered a merit for him.

Shen Jiarou's carriage arrived at Lord Li's destination in two quarters of an hour.

Bao Zhiqing, who was driving the carriage, pulled the reins.

"Xu."

Then he spoke respectfully towards the inside.

"Master, we are here."

Ruan Qingling lifted the curtain and then got out of the carriage. Yaer helped Shen Jiarou out of the carriage, and Ruan Qingling extended her hand forward.

"Master, be careful."

Shen Jiarou lifted her dress and walked down to the ground. She looked up at Lord Li and Shen Chenyu who were walking towards her.

"Your humble servant greets the local lord."

"I pay my respects to the township lord."

Nanny He, Ruan Qingling, Yaer, and Bao Zhiqing bowed respectfully to the two.

Lord Li and Shen Jiarou looked at the highway one after another. At the end, Lord Li even let Shen Jiarou take a horse-drawn carriage to tour the country road.

Seeing the smiles on the people's faces, Shen Jiarou was touched at this moment. Perhaps she made the right decision.

"Master, it will be much more convenient for us to go back to our hometown in the future."

Nanny He thought of the small roads before, and was afraid that the carriage would fall into the roadside, which would be troublesome. Fortunately, nothing happened. But now that the highway is open, it will only be more convenient and safer. There is no need to worry about falling into the soil, fields, or even rivers at any time.

After this day, many wealthy businessmen and shop owners from all sizes in the county came to Huilong Town to watch the fun, and for a time Huilong Town was extremely lively.

The shop owners on the street have seen a lot more business because of the influx of people. Seeing the benefits brought by the highway, everyone is very grateful to the township official for funding the highway construction.

For a moment, Shen Jiarou's image rose to a new level in everyone's hearts, especially in Huilong Town.

The weather was getting colder, and on the day of the Beginning of Winter, heavy snow fell in Anren County.

Ruan Qingling opened her master's window and found that it was snowing outside.

"Master, it's snowing."

Shen Jiarou, who was still sleepy, opened her eyes slightly when she heard her surprised voice. The strong light hurt her eyes a little, so she closed them quickly.

"It's so glaring."

When Ruan Qingling heard her master say it was dazzling, she closed it immediately.

"Master, you can open your eyes now. I have closed the window."

Shen Jiarou slowly opened her eyes after hearing this. Without the bright light, she felt much more comfortable. She stood up and murmured.

“Is today the winter solstice?”

"Yes, Mammy said that everyone in the mansion will eat dumplings today."

Ruan Qingling found some thick clothes, brought them to the bed, and began to change Shen Jiarou's clothes.

At this time, there was a knock on the door and Yaer's voice sounded outside the door.

"Girl, the hot water is here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiarou spoke gently.

"come in."

Yaer pushed the door open, bent down to pick up the tray, stood up and walked into the room.

"Girl, Sister Qingling, it's snowing outside, we can make a snowman in the back."

When the two heard her words, they couldn't help but smile.

"Sister Yaer, it's so cold and you still want to build a snowman. Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Yaer lowered her head shyly.

"Sister Qingling, please just tease me."

Seeing her red face, Ruan Qingling decided to let her go.

"Well, let's wash the master quickly, otherwise the water will get cold later."

Yaer tightened the washcloth slightly and then handed it to Shen Jiarou.

"girl."

Shen Jiarou took it.

A quarter of an hour later, Nanny He came into the room.

"Master, breakfast is ready. Shall we go and have breakfast now?"

When Shen Jiarou heard this, she quickly looked up.

"Mammy, I'll be right there."

After Ruan Qingling put the hairpin on her, Shen Jiarou stood up and walked out the door. Ruan Qingling followed closely behind her, and Yaer was responsible for cleaning up the mess.

Seeing Nanny He standing at the door, Shen Jiarou smiled at her and nodded.

"Morning, Madam."

"Morning, Master. Let's eat."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty couldn't help laughing when he received the report from his subordinates.

When Li Jiang saw his smile, he immediately guessed that it was the village gentleman's.

"Your Majesty, what good news do you have for me?"

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty raised his hand and teased him.

"You, you can't hide anything from you. But it is true as you said, the girl did a good thing that benefited the country and the people, but she paid for it out of her own pocket."

He was afraid that the girl would spend all the money she had worked so hard to earn.

Shen Jiarou, who was having breakfast, suddenly yawned four times in a row. Nanny He and others looked at her in surprise.

"Master, you won't catch a cold, will you?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head. "I don't feel uncomfortable. It's possible that someone is scolding me behind my back."

Sister Qin couldn't help laughing when she heard her words.

"There is a saying that if you yawn continuously, someone will talk behind your back."

After hearing what Mrs. Qin said, Shen Jiarou couldn't help but think of the faces of Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei.

Could it be them? It has been several months since we last saw each other.

Shen Jiarou's sudden distraction startled Nanny He and others.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jiarou came to her senses and shook her head.

"Nothing, let's eat."

I don't know when I will see them again. Will there be such a day? Maybe not, but maybe.
