The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The two little girls touched the silver bracelets on their hands with joy and couldn't let go.

Shen Jiarou frowned slightly, and Nanny He asked in confusion.

"County Lord, what's wrong?"

Shen Jiarou stroked her dress gently and sat down, then looked up and spoke softly.

"Mammy, what do you think I should give to the guard? Everyone has a gift, but he doesn't."

Nanny He thought about it and then made a serious suggestion.

"How about you take out 100 taels of silver, give him 50 taels, and give the other 50 taels to the servants below, so that everyone can share in your good fortune."

Shen Jiarou was very satisfied with her suggestion.

"Then I'll trouble you with this matter, Madam. Thank you for your hard work."

Nanny He knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully, "Then I will arrange it."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and said, "You go."

Lord Li was surprised to learn that Xiangjun was promoted.

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

My goodness, it hasn’t been long since the county lady became the county lady.

Zhang Bishun, who was standing respectfully at the side, couldn't help but sigh.

"This county lady is really lucky. Now she is a county lady. Your Excellency, do you think she will be a county lady next time?"

Lord Li paced back and forth, not knowing how to describe his feelings.

"Maybe, if we go higher, it might be possible."

Zhang Bishun nodded in agreement, "That's true. But to be honest, with the presence of the county lord, our county has indeed become much better."

After listening to his master's words, Lord Li had another plan in mind.

If he could establish a good relationship with the county lady, he might be able to rise in the future, which would be a perfect benefit to him.

Winters in ancient times were very cold, but thanks to a series of measures taken by Shen Jiarou, many people were still protected.

It is early spring, the wintersweets have not yet faded, but the peach trees have buds.

The original Xiangjun Mansion was also changed to Xianjun Mansion, and the money was paid by the court. Due to Shen Jiarou's promotion, everyone in Anren County wanted to climb up to the Xianjun Mansion.

Shen Jiarou, who had just celebrated New Year's Eve, lay in bed and didn't want to get up.

Ruan Qingling and Yaer were a little anxious and were whispering outside the door.

"Sister Qingling, what should we do? Today is the first day of the new year."

While the two were whispering, Nanny He walked in from outside the courtyard.

"What are you doing?"

The two of them bowed respectfully and said, "This servant greets the nanny. The county lady is still not awake."

Hearing this, Nanny He looked up at the door, then gently pushed it open and walked in. She came to the bedside and saw the person sleeping soundly, so she leaned over.

"County Lord, it's time to get up. Today is New Year's Day, the first day of the year."

When Shen Jiarou heard the nanny's voice, she reluctantly opened her sleepy eyes.

"Morning, Mammy."

Ruan Qingling and Yaer, who followed in, looked at each other and smiled. It was still the nanny who had the solution.

Nanny He gently helped Shen Jiarou up and coaxed her softly.

"Be good, get up early today, I will let you sleep one more hour tomorrow, okay?"

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou immediately opened her eyes with joy.

"Sure, come on, I'll get out of bed." Haha, she made money by taking an hour, so she didn't lose anything.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingling and Yaer hurried forward to help her up and help her change clothes and wash.

After everything was ready, Ruan Qingling gently reminded Yaer.

"Ya'er, don't pour the water."

"Yes, Sister Qingling."

Nanny He also told everyone early in the morning not to wash clothes, sweep the floor, or break bowls, glass, mirrors or other items.

When Shen Jiarou came to the dining room, she forced her eyes open, looking somewhat adorable. Ruan Qingling and Yaer looked at her with doting smiles.

Seeing her favorite yam and corn porridge, Shen Jiarou picked up her bowl and chopsticks and finished her breakfast happily.

Touching her round belly, she smiled with satisfaction.

"Mammy, what are your plans for today?"

"As the head of the family, you have to give us a lecture today, and you can also show us some favors so that our servants can work harder."

"Okay, then please go and arrange it, Madam."

Half an hour later, Shen Jiarou sat upright on a wooden chair in the front yard.

"This servant greets the county lord."

"I greet the county lord."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips slightly, smiled gently and nodded.

"Everyone, get up. Today is the first day of the new year. You still have a long time to live. Remember not to make a fool of yourself with your actions."

Everyone bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

"Everyone has worked hard. Although we haven't spent much time together, since we have the fate to meet and get along, it is also an extremely deep fate. In order to reward everyone, each person can receive one tael of silver from Madam He as a New Year's favor."

When everyone heard this, they were secretly surprised in their hearts. They thought their master was so good to them and they must be more diligent and loyal in the future.

Shen Jiarou didn't expect that the first person to come and pay New Year's greetings would be Lord Li.

In the main hall, Lord Li was dressed in casual clothes, sitting upright at the bottom.

"This is my first New Year in Anren County since I became the county lord. I am honored."

Shen Jiarou also chatted with him about family matters, and Nanny He kept them company.

"Sir, in the past few months, Anren County has changed a lot under your leadership."

Hearing the county lady's praise, Lord Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, mainly because the other party was still a child.

However, he still felt good to receive praise from people who were higher in rank than him.

"You are joking, my Lord. This is all your credit. I dare not take credit for it."

Are you kidding? People are contributing money, effort and manpower, so he might as well be doing them a favor and get some benefits at the same time, so why not do it?

Shen Jiarou invited him to have lunch. Seeing the table full of delicious food, Lord Li lamented that the county lady knew how to enjoy life despite her young age.

"Master Li, don't be polite, just let them pick whatever they like."

Lord Li was also a man of temperament. When he heard the little girl say that, he didn't hesitate and ate too much.

"It is a real pleasure to have a meal with the county lady." Mainly because the little girl kept eating, which made him very hungry.

Seeing that the county lady wanted to continue enjoying her lunch, Nanny He was afraid that she would eat too much and get hungry, so she quickly spoke up to stop her.

"My Lord, you must not eat any more, or you will get a fever at night. The first day of the new year is unlucky."

Nanny He looked up at Lord Li, and Lord Li understood and joined in persuading her.

"Yes, my Lord, you have to save some space for dinner."

Shen Jiarou was also a person who listened to advice, so she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"Well, Lord Li, would you like to accompany me for a walk to help digest the food?"

When Lord Li heard this, he immediately agreed.

"It is your honor."

With the help of Ruan Qingling, Shen Jiarou got off the chair.

"Okay, let's go. I have something to discuss with you."

When Lord Li heard this, he began to speculate in his mind.

The two walked to the small courtyard in the front hall. Shen Jiarou sat on the swing that Bao Zhiqing had given her and looked at Lord Li calmly.

"In the new year, does Lord Li have any plans for Anren County?"

Lord Li did not dare to speak easily, and immediately asked, "What arrangements do you have, Lord?"

"I feel that there are too many wastelands in our county. Why don't we let the people reclaim some of them? This will increase grain production next year, which will be a great benefit to both the country and the people."

After hearing her words, Lord Li quickly filtered this sentence in his mind.
