The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 27: Conferring the Title of County Lord

When Lord Li was about to pick up some Agaricus bisporus to eat, Shen Jiarou quickly stopped him.

"Master Li, you can drink the fresh juice from the Agaricus bisporus first."

Although Lord Li was puzzled, he did as he was told. After he blew lightly and drank it, he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, it is indeed very fresh. Master, you should try it too."

Zhang Bishun followed his example, taking a sip first, and then drinking it in one gulp when he thought it was okay.

"Yes, this is my first time eating like this."

He didn't expect that a little girl would have such a deep knowledge of food.

Shen Jiarou smiled gently, "Everyone, come and eat."

Bao Zhiqing took out a jar of freshly brewed rice wine from the wine cellar and walked to the dining room.

"Master, I got a jar of rice wine."

When Lord Li and Zhang Bishun heard this, they looked up in surprise and saw Bao Zhiqing starting to pour wine for everyone.

In addition to the three little girls at the table, even Nanny He had a cup.

"Master Li, Master Zhang, I am still young, so I will let Nanny He and the guards accompany you on my behalf."

The two waved their hands and said, "You are too polite, Mr.

"Yeah, you're very polite."

Nanny He and Bao Zhiqing raised their glasses and toasted the two of them.

"Master Li, Master Zhang, I am a rough man, I will drink this cup first as a sign of respect, you can do as you please."

Nanny He smiled politely at the two of them, raised her wrist and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing how heroic they were, the two men drank it all in one gulp.

"carefree."

After Lord Li finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Shen Jiarou, who was smiling, and spoke to himself.

"Wait another ten years, and I will have another drink with you then."

Zhang Bishun took the opportunity to continue the conversation, "Yes, by then our Xiangjun might have reached a higher level."

A month later, the imperial edict of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty arrived in Anren County.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Yongkang County Lady Shen Jiarou is gentle and docile, helps those in need, is kind-hearted, and cares for the people. I hereby confer her the title of Fifth Rank County Lady, namely Yongkang County Lady. I award her a thousand taels of silver and a pair of gold and silver bracelets each. I decree this!"

After receiving the order, Nanny He stuffed a bag of silver into the eunuch's pocket.

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Have a cup of tea."

The eunuch who received the decree felt the weight inside and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, mama."

Then he looked at Shen Shiyi who was holding the imperial edict and bowed respectfully.

"My Lord, I will go back and report back."

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly, "Father, take care."

After Bao Zhiqing sent him away, Shen Jiarou looked at Nanny He.

"Mammy, what is the difference between a township lord and a county lord?"

Nanny He chuckled and said, "It's quite big. Although they seem to be of the same rank, a county lady is still bigger than a township lady."

Shen Jiarou seemed to understand her explanation, but she didn't quite understand. Nanny He knew that her young master didn't fully understand, so she didn't continue to explain.

"Congratulations, my Lord. Congratulations, my Lord."

When Ruan Qingling saw this, she quickly bowed.

"Congratulations to the county lord."

Seeing this, Yaer, who was standing nearby, also bowed and congratulated.

"Congratulations to the county lord."

Nanny He stood up and waited until they had finished paying their respects before speaking again.

"Master, the female ranks include not only Xiangjun and Xianjun, but also Junjun, Xianzhu, Junzhu, and Princess."

When Shen Jiarou heard her say that, she also remembered the costume TV dramas she had watched.

"Mammy, the princess should be the oldest."

"I guess so, but there are also different ranks, there are junior first rank, first rank, and eldest princess. The eldest princess is higher than the first rank princess. There are also women with higher ranks in this world, such as our queen, queen mother, and even greater grand empress dowager. However, throughout the dynasties, there have been relatively few grand empress dowagers."

Shen Jiarou and Yaer nodded slightly after hearing this.

"I understand, but I shouldn't be able to meet these more distinguished people."

This time, Nanny He just smiled and said nothing. She still remembered what the emperor said in the imperial study before she came.

"You are responsible for teaching Yi Yi well. From this moment on, she is your master. Although she is young, you cannot take over her duties. Do you understand?"

At that moment, she might not have understood it very well, until she saw the young master, then she understood everything.

She had a premonition that her master would reach a higher level and would never stay in this small place.

Seeing that the nanny was distracted, Shen Jiarou waved her hand in front of her.

"Mammy, what's wrong with you?"

When Nanny He came back to her senses, she was shocked and quickly apologized.

"Master, I am distracted. Please punish me."

Shen Jiarou waved her hands like a little adult.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal. By the way, Mammy, the silver should be put in the storehouse."

Nanny He nodded respectfully, "Yes, by the way, I think we should let the guards train a few people to guard the warehouse."

As soon as Bao Zhiqing came back, he heard what Nanny He said, and he also expressed his agreement.

"County Lord, what Madam said makes sense."

Shen Jiarou considered it carefully for a while, then pursed her lips and nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Watching her leaving, Ruan Qingling walked to her master holding the gold and silver bracelets.

"My Lord, why don't you try the bracelet? I've checked it. It's made of pure gold and silver."

Seeing her glowing eyes, Shen Jiarou was also aroused by her curiosity.

"Then give it a try?"

Ruan Qingling nodded repeatedly and looked at Yaer who was standing there stupidly and gave instructions.

"Ya'er, come and help."

Stunned Yaer walked over, carefully picked up a gold bracelet and put it on Shen Jiarou.

Seeing that the bracelet had grown several sizes larger, Shen Jiarou was speechless and felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

"I can't even wear it." What? Give her a bracelet to use as a decoration.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty did not remind him in advance, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly selected a large bracelet and sent it to him.

Now Ruan Qingling stood there awkwardly, her tone a little panicked.

"My Lady, I didn't mean it." She wanted to cry too.

Nanny He couldn't bear it anymore and came over to comfort her in a gentle voice.

"My dear little master, it's okay. We can wear it when we are older."

She hadn't thought about the size issue and was embarrassed at the moment.

Shen Jiarou looked at her own wrist, then looked at Nanny He's wrist, then took it off and put it directly on her hand.

"It fits perfectly. Please wear it, Mammy."

Nanny He was shocked and said, "Master, this is a bracelet given to you by the Emperor. How can you let an old slave wear it?"

Shen Jiarou didn't care at all and waved her hand.

"Well, they are all for wearing anyway, and there is another one here, so give it to me."

Ruan Qingling looked at Nanny He with some envy. Shen Jiarou noticed her gaze and took off her two bracelets and looked at the two of them.

"Sister Qingling, put down the tray and put on the bracelet."

Ruan Qingling looked up in surprise, "Huh?"

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Nanny He took the tray and Shen Jiarou put them on them.

"Well, it fits you well. Wear it. Don't embarrass me."

Nanny He couldn't help but frown when she saw the two of them still standing there stupidly.

"Why don't you thank the county lord?"

When the two heard this, they bowed and thanked him immediately.

"Thank you, Lord County Master."

"Thank you, Lord County Master."
