The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 23 Everyone Can Stay

Shen Jiarou looked at this scene and couldn't bear to see everyone continue to suffer even in such a cold weather.

"You guys go into the mansion first and eat something to warm yourself up."

When Nanny He heard this, she hurried over.

"Xiang Jun, I'm afraid it's not appropriate with so many people."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Shen Jiarou worriedly.

"Mammy, let them go into the mansion and eat something first, and then we can discuss other matters."

Bao Zhiqing on the side spoke up.

"Mammy, please listen to the master."

Nanny He had no choice but to agree, "Okay then."

Then she looked up at everyone and spoke solemnly.

"Everyone, please follow this Sister Qin to the kitchen."

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she hurried out.

"Everyone, please come with me!"

Everyone followed Mrs. Qin towards the kitchen.

Seeing that all of them had walked in, Nanny He looked at the village chief solemnly.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and said, "Let Qingling and Yaer go to help, and the three of us will go to the main hall to discuss."

The two looked at each other and then nodded.

"Yes."

In the main hall, Nanny He and Bao Zhiqing sat at the lower table, and they both looked at the local lord respectfully.

"Master, there are so many people, about 30 of them, how should we arrange them?"

"Mammy said some time ago that she would buy the servants. These are readily available."

Nanny He said worriedly, "But they are refugees. What if something happens to you?"

Shen Jiarou also considered what she said.

"You have a point."

Bao Zhiqing glanced at the two of them and said, "Master, Madam, I think that if this is the case, then the master has done them a favor. Working in the benefactor's home, they must be doing it with a grateful heart, and it will do more good than harm to the mansion."

After hearing what he said, Shen Jiarou and Nanny He both felt it made sense.

"It seems to be the same, Master, what do you think?"

"Well, Mammy, go and see how many people there are, how many families there are, how many men, women, old and young there are, and then you can tell me."

Hearing this, Nanny He stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go first."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, pursed her lips and nodded, "Go ahead."

"Old slave, please retire."

When her back disappeared from his sight, Bao Zhiqing expressed his innermost thoughts.

"Master, I think for your and everyone's safety, we can select a few men to guard the gate and patrol. After all, we still have some gold, silver, jewelry and other assets in our house."

Shen Jiarou understood what he said.

"Then come with me and take a look."

Bao Zhiqing nodded respectfully, "Yes."

In the kitchen, Mrs. Qin had already cooked the remaining dumplings and gave instructions to Ruan Qingling and Yaer.

"Miss Qingling, Miss Yaer, please scoop three dumplings for each of us first."

There were too many people and not enough dumplings.

When the two heard it, they responded immediately.

"Yes."

When everyone had a piece of the plump meat dumpling, the expression on everyone's face changed.

Someone tasted it and exclaimed, "It's meat, meat."

When the others heard this, they immediately started eating, and the aroma of meat filled their noses.

“It’s really meat.”

Some people started crying while eating, "We are actually eating meat."

The three of them were stunned when they saw it.

"No, why are you crying after eating meat dumplings?"

Yaer couldn't help but blurt out what Ruan Qingling said when she heard it.

"You're too excited. After all, for ordinary people, it's a luxury to be able to eat meat."

She was also lucky. After following her master, she seemed to have never suffered any hardship.

After hearing her words, Ruan Qingling understood instantly.

"I understand."

Before entering the palace, she had also experienced hunger and cold. Although life in the palace was difficult, she was not starving to death.

When Nanny He came over, she saw everyone crying and frowned.

"what happened?"

Among the three, Mrs. Qin was the oldest. Seeing Nanny He's expression change drastically, she hurriedly began to explain.

"Madame He, maybe everyone is just a little excited, please forgive me."

Nanny He walked to the middle and spoke to everyone.

"If you want to stay, it's not impossible."

When everyone heard this, they looked at her excitedly.

"But let me say this first. If you really want to stay, you must sign a contract for the safety of your master. This is also a kind of protection for you."

After hearing her words, everyone lowered their heads unconsciously.

After seeing their reactions, Nanny He spoke solemnly again.

"Our master is a good man. It is fate that you came to our house. If you are really willing to stay, even if you can't have meat every meal, at least you will have enough food and warm clothes."

Everyone spoke up when they heard it.

"We are willing to stay, please take us in."

"Yeah, we would too."

Seeing that everyone was willing to stay, Nanny He nodded slightly with a serious face.

"Okay, then everyone, eat well from now on, and I'll find clothes for you later."

Everyone cheered when they heard it.

"Yes."

"From now on, everyone should call me Nanny He. The one who agreed to let you in earlier is our young master. She is a lady of the countryside appointed by the current emperor himself. From now on, you should call her master or lady of the countryside. The two girls next to me are the first-class maids who are close to the master. From now on, you can call them Miss Qingling and Miss Yaer. The other one is Sister Qin, who is responsible for cooking. The man earlier was our master's guard. From now on, everyone should call him the protection guard."

When everyone heard this, they bowed their heads respectfully.

"Yes, Madam He."

Seeing that the child was teachable, Nanny He nodded with slight satisfaction.

Ruan Qingling noticed her master and Bao Zhiqing approaching and bowed quickly.

"This slave has met the master."

Yaer bowed immediately upon hearing this and said, "This servant greets the master."

Mrs. Qin quickly knelt down and saluted, "This old slave greets the master."

"The old slave has met his master."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly at Nanny He and the others, "Everyone, get up."

Everyone thanked him respectfully, "Thank you, Master."

Shen Jiarou turned around and looked at the people who had finished eating dumplings. She heard every word that Nanny He said.

"Everyone is welcome to join us. If anyone knows how to make dumplings, come and help us so that we can eat hot dumplings as soon as possible."

Everyone bowed their heads respectfully, "Yes, Master."

The women all knew how to make dumplings, so they all came out to help. With everyone's help, the efficiency was much higher.

"Hey, auntie, please pack more meat."

"Auntie, there's too little meat."

Shen Jiarou sat aside teasing the guard who followed her, looking around, listening carefully and observing everyone.

Bao Zhiqing arranged for everyone to set up tables and chairs.

Mrs. Qin saw the big pot boiling and hurriedly greeted them.

"Hurry, the dumplings are floating, bring a bowl to put them in."

Ruan Qingling quickly took the bowl and served bowls of hot dumplings. In front of their future master, no one acted rashly, and all looked at Shen Jiarou who was playing with a wolf.

Shen Jiarou didn't hear any noise of the bowl being brought up, and looked up in confusion, and found that everyone was looking at her.

"Everyone, eat quickly. I can't eat enough."

Everyone was too embarrassed to pick up the bowls in front of them. Some wolfed down the food and burned themselves, while others were not satisfied and looked eagerly at the kitchen.
