The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Bao Zhiqing's expression was slightly gloomy.

When Mrs. Qin learned that there were dozens of people outside, she was so scared that the spatula in her hand fell to the ground.

"What, there are so many people again."

It's over, it's over. What should their girl do? This house can only accommodate 30 people. If there are dozens more, how can their girl handle it? I'm afraid the house won't be able to accommodate them.

Several women helping in the kitchen looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw Mrs. Qin's expression change.

"Sister Qin, are you okay?"

Mrs. Qin had something on her mind, but she was powerless to do anything about it, and she felt a little annoyed.

"I am fine."

Someone saw what she was thinking, "Sister-in-law Qin, are you worried about those people outside coming in?"

Mrs. Qin saw that she could see through her thoughts and nodded helplessly.

"Even if we need to send people, we don't need dozens of them."

She may not know it at first, but gradually she will understand a lot.

Someone with a more active mind said, "We really don't need so many people in our house. It all depends on what the master does."

When Nanny He rushed over, she saw her master standing on the ground and hurried over.

"master."

Shen Jiarou felt much more at ease when she saw Nanny He coming.

"Mommy."

Hearing her voice, Nanny He stepped forward and supported her with concern.

"master."

Nanny He looked at all the people, each with a pleading look on their face, and the people who saw it couldn't help but cry out in despair.

Shen Jiarou said helplessly, "Let's have someone cordon this place off, and tell the kitchen to cook some porridge and stir-fry some leafy vegetables, so that everyone can eat something to fill their stomachs first."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

Watching her leave, Shen Jiarou spoke to Bao Zhiqing.

"Guard, ask someone to bring out some firewood so that everyone can warm up."

Bao Zhiqing understood and left.

Outside the Xiangjun Mansion, four large fires were burning and people gathered around them to keep warm.

Not long after, the porridge in the kitchen was ready.

Seeing everyone eating hot meals, Shen Jiarou, who was standing at the door, sighed slightly. It was really not easy to live in ancient times.

Bao Zhiqing was used to human nature and reminded his master in a low voice.

"Master, this matter is very difficult. If we don't handle it properly, the consequences will be disastrous."

The moment Lord Li received the report from his subordinates, he was paralyzed.

"What did you say? There are dozens of refugees in Xiangjun Mansion?"

Zhang Bishun noticed that the adult's frown could catch a mosquito, so he spoke out to remind him.

"Sir, at this moment we'd better go over and see what's going on so that we can make a decision in time."

Lord Li frowned when he heard this and said, "You are right. Let's go, Master."

By the time Lord Li and Zhang Bishun arrived, the refugees were already well fed.

Seeing the scene before him, Lord Li didn't know what to say and sighed at the gentleman's meticulous and thoughtful work.

In the small house in the courtyard, everyone sat around the fire.

The gatekeeper of the mansion came to report, "My lord, the county magistrate and his lawyer are here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiarou and others were stunned.

"Please!"

Shen Jiarou brought Nanny He, Bao Zhiqing and others to the hall, where the servants were serving tea. Seeing Lord Li and Master Zhang sitting at the bottom, Shen Jiarou spoke calmly.

"Hello, Lord Li and Master Zhang, but are you here for the refugees outside the palace?"

Lord Li and Zhang Bishun looked at each other, and finally it was Lord Li who broke the deadlock.

"My Lord, it may be winter has come, and the people are really desperate. We have just come to your house. We are very sorry for causing trouble to you."

Zhang Bishun, who was sitting quietly nearby, also echoed.

"My Lord, my Lord and I thought a lot on the way here, and now I want to ask for your opinion."

Shen Jiarou was stunned and looked up. "My opinion? May I ask what it is?"

Lord Li was a little embarrassed to speak, "My Lord, you know that Anren County is just an ordinary and poor county, and the people are indeed living in dire straits. Do you think this mansion needs some people to do odd jobs?"

Upon hearing this, not only Shen Jiarou understood, even the naive Yaer understood the trick.

"continue."

"You own a hot pot shop, a vegetable market, etc. Do you think you can find any help in these shops?"

Seeing that the master had said this, Lord Li joined in the conversation.

"Yes, with a clerk, everyone has hope, and life can finally get by. If you want to develop other businesses, there are many shops in the county town."

After hearing this, Shen Jiarou understood their plan.

"Since you and the master have said this, I will tell you the truth. The mansion has already taken in 30 people some time ago. Even if we need more now, according to our current situation in the county mansion, at most ten people will be enough, Madam, don't you agree?"

When her name was suddenly called, Nanny He spoke up quickly.

"Master is absolutely right."

Lord Li and Zhang Bishun were both delighted and stunned.

Seeing that they were about to speak, Shen Jiarou said first, "As for the hot pot shops and vegetable markets..."

Seeing her pause, they both held their breath.

"It can accommodate up to ten people."

The two were delighted when they heard this. "That's great, but how do we arrange for the remaining 30 people?"

Shen Jiarou frowned and thought, "Let's clean up the county. We'll need four people at most."

The two looked at each other and were about to speak when Shen Jiarou's voice rang out.

"As for the shop, I haven't figured out what to do yet."

How about she open a hot pot restaurant? Thinking about it carefully, it seems inappropriate, there were no freezers in ancient times.

Everyone in the main hall kept looking at her, afraid to miss the expression on her face.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. "Don't we have hot springs in our county? Just those kind of bathhouses."

Everyone shook their heads, and Lord Li thought for a moment before speaking.

"I'm afraid this won't work."

"Why?"

“Too few people can afford it.”

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou was like a deflated ball.

"Okay, I'll think about it more carefully."

Bao Zhiqing thought about it and pursed his lips before speaking.

"Master, I have an idea."

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at him.

"explain."

"Perhaps we can organize a delivery and escort team. After all, our business requires transportation."

When Shen Jiarou heard his words, she immediately thought of the ancient escort agency.

"Hey, don't tell me that's a good idea."

Seeing that the local lady said it was a good idea, Lord Li and Zhang Bishun also agreed.

"It's pretty good."

"Very good."

Seeing that everyone thought it was a good idea, Shen Jiarou made the decision right away.

"Then let's do it."

The happiest people were Lord Li and Zhang Bishun.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Jiarou invited them.

"It's time for lunch, why don't you stay and have your meal?"

The two were stunned when they heard this, and then they thought that the gentleman was a foodie, and they immediately became greedy.

"Then I'd rather obey your command than be disrespectful. Thank you for your help, sir."

"Yes."

"It's okay. We solved a big problem. Let's just celebrate it."

In the dining hall, Lord Li and Zhang Bishun were excited to see a table full of vegetables, and they were indeed eating hot pot. But when the empty pan came up, they stared at each other.

"What is this, Xiangjun?"

"Oh, let's have a barbecue today."

"Barbecue? Are those vegetarian dishes also grilled?"

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly, and the two were surprised because they had never seen this way of eating.

In comparison, Nanny He and others were very calm and composed, and were no longer surprised.
