The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

"Master, does it hurt?" There was a lot of blood.

The village head and his wife were startled. "Girl, how are you?"

The village head's wife, Aunt Zheng, also hurriedly asked, "Do you need to see a doctor?"

This wealthy family must attach great importance to their children.

Shen Jiarou waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Maybe it's because of my teeth changing. My teeth have been a little loose recently. The biscuit falling off was just a fuse. It's no big deal. Let's continue eating."

Nanny Su didn't dare let her eat cakes for fear that her other teeth would break.

"Auntie Zheng, do you have eggs? Let's steam some egg custard for the master."

When Aunt Zheng heard this, she quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll get it right away."

Ruan Qingling stood up and followed Nanny Su.

"Madam Su, let me make the steamed eggs. You go and eat."

Aunt Su looked at her and asked, "Can you?"

Ruan Qingling nodded slightly, "I can do that, and the master also likes the steamed eggs I make."

When they first arrived, there were not many people in the mansion and they did everything.

"Okay, bring it over when it's ready."

"Yes."

When Shen Jiarou ate the egg custard, her face turned pale because it was so hot that Nanny He hurriedly poured her some water.

"Master, drink some water."

After drinking the water, Shen Jiarou decided to cut the egg custard open to let the heat out.

After half a quarter of an hour, Nanny Su spoke up to remind them.

"Master, it's time to eat the custard. It will get cold later."

After hearing this, Shen Jiarou began to eat quietly.

After breakfast, Shen Jiarou began to ask the village chief about the situation in each village.

"Hey, it hasn't rained here since the New Year. As you can see along the way, the fields are all dry and cracked."

Shen Jiarou suddenly asked herself, "Does the government not care?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "The court is far away. I heard that the officials in our government office have white hair due to worry. But if it doesn't rain, what can we do?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Shen Jiarou asked again, "Have you tried digging a well to find water?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "We have tried everything, but there is nothing. You must have seen many holes along the way."

Bao Zhiqing interrupted and said, "Master, it is true."

Shen Jiarou sighed. This fiefdom was really worse than Anren County. Should she say she was lucky or unlucky?

But since she was a princess and Nanning County was her fiefdom, she naturally couldn't just ignore it.

"Are there many mountains?"

The village chief didn't understand what she meant. "It is a lot, but why do you ask this, girl?"

The others also looked at her, not understanding what their master was trying to do.

Shen Jiarou said something shocking: "Buy a mountain."

Everyone was shocked "What?"

Shen Jiarou bought ten nearby mountains at once, spending a total of one thousand taels.

Seeing the land deed in her hand, Nanny He frowned. She didn't understand what her master meant.

Shen Jiarou was about to take people up the mountain, but was stopped by Nanny Su and Nanny He at the same time.

Nanny Su advised earnestly, "Master, what are you going to do? This mountain is too dangerous. You must not go there."

Nanny He agreed, "Yes, I heard there is a fierce water tiger beast."

Bao Zhiqing and Xu Zhi looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Master, tell us your purpose and we will go check it out."

Judging from the current situation, she can't go.

Shen Jiarou whispered, "Okay, find me a water source, be careful."

The two looked at each other, then bowed and left.

The two used Qinggong to reach the depths of the mountain. Standing on the tree, Xu Zhi looked in all directions.

After a day's hard work, they finally found a water source, and the waterfall in front of them made them very happy.

"Let's go back and report to the master."

Shen Jiarou, who was looking forward to it, sat under the eaves of the wooden house. Seeing the bright sun outside, her delicate brows frowned.

It's really embarrassing. Alas, the people are suffering so much.

One of the guards saw the figure in front and happily reminded them.

"Master, Guard Guard and Guard Xu are back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiarou looked up and saw the two men returning exhausted.

"Subordinates, please see your master."

Shen Jiarou asked excitedly, "How is it?"

The two looked at each other, and Bao Zhiqing reported solemnly.

"Found water."

The village chief came out and stepped forward excitedly when he heard this.

"Little brother, are you telling the truth?"

Bao Zhiqing glanced at Shen Jiarou, and only spoke after getting his master's permission.

"Village chief, yes."

The village chief was extremely excited and then looked at Shen Jiarou.

"Girl, can you ..."

Shen Jiarou wanted to say something, but looked around and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Everyone sat together, and there were guards guarding outside the door.

The atmosphere in the house was dark and depressing.

"Village chief, we are looking for water for everyone's convenience."

The village chief and Aunt Zheng nodded excitedly, "Thank you very much."

Shen Jiarou looked at the two of them and said, "Tell me."

The two nodded, Bao Zhiqing told them what had happened, and everyone fell silent.

Nanny Su frowned slightly and said, "It seems that things are not as easy as we thought."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and thought deeply, "In your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

Bao Zhiqing had been following Shen Jiarou longer than Xu Zhijiu, and he spoke slowly.

"Master, village chief, we'd better take the villagers with us to dig the road. There is strength in numbers."

Shen Jiarou glanced at the village chief, who pursed his lips and said, "Well, I'll go gather the villagers and explain this matter."

Everyone nodded.

In the ancestral hall, the villagers were extremely excited when they learned that they had found a water source.

"Village Chief, is this true?"

The village chief said solemnly, "Miss Shen's guards found it personally."

Some sober villagers asked doubtfully, "But didn't they buy the mountain? Will they agree?"

The village chief hesitated and said, "I have already applied to Miss Shen for this matter, and she agreed."

Everyone was excited and the village chief spoke again.

"From now on, each family should grab their tools. We will gather at the foot of the mountain and listen to Miss Shen and the others' instructions. We must divert the water down to save the fields."

Everyone shouted "Yes."

"Let's go home and get the tools."

The village chief returned home with the respected elders in the village.

Shen Jiarou was still discussing with everyone how to divert water.

Aunt Zheng frowned and said, "This is really difficult. Not to mention the height, the distance is a big problem."

Shen Jiarou was worried about more than one thing.

"Bao Zhiqing, you and Xu Zhi should go to other mountains to have a look. If there is only water here, even if we work hard to bring it down, other villages will have no water, and it is easy for something to go wrong. Even if we bring water from our yard to other villages, the distance is still a big problem."

Aunt Zheng agreed, "That's right, it's really tricky."

The village chief and the old man looked at each other in silence.

"Knock knock knock!"

Hearing a knock on the door, everyone looked towards the door.

"The village chief is here."

The village chief introduced the old man to everyone, "Everyone, this is Mr. Shen from our village, he is 70 years old."

After discussing for a while, Bao Zhiqing and Xu Zhi left.

The village chief led everyone to start digging a ditch. After the efforts of hundreds of people, the water was successfully diverted 10 days later.

When everyone saw the spring water irrigating the fields, they were so excited that they cried.

"Ahhh, there's finally water."

"There's water."

Bao Zhiqing and Xu Zhi lived up to expectations and led the villages to dig ditches and divert water.

Having put her worries to rest, Shen Jiarou smiled with relief.
