The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 36: The Princess and the Magistrate Meet
The village chief led the villagers to kneel down in front of Shen Jiarou.
"Girl, you are our benefactor."
People in the county reported all those things to the county magistrate Zhang Zhiwen.
"really?"
The government official bowed and said, "Really, I saw it with my own eyes."
Zhang Zhiwen stood up and walked back and forth. "I won't feel at ease unless I check the truth. Go and make arrangements. I'll go take a look."
The government official was stunned for a moment, then bowed.
"Yes, my lord."
After the villagers had water, they began to work in the fields.
Shen Jiarou, who had been staying in the village, was very surprised to see them using people to plow the fields.
"I go."
Ruan Qingling and the others were no less surprised than she was. "My goodness, this is the first time I've seen people plowing the fields."
An old lady passed by and saw that she was confused, so she explained it to her.
"Without cattle, this is the only way."
Shen Jiarou couldn't help but say, "But people will be very tired, and efficiency won't be improved."
The old lady lowered her head helplessly and sighed, "What can I do? I have to survive. It's all thanks to the girl, otherwise I wouldn't even have the chance to plow the fields."
Everyone was silent, and their moods were not good. After the old lady left, Shen Jiarou looked at Bao Zhiqing who was quietly standing aside.
"Protection guard."
"My subordinate is here."
"Go find as many buffalo and oxen as you can find."
Ruan Qingling and the others looked at their master in confusion. Nanny Su understood, and Nanny He also guessed the master's intention.
Zhang Zhiwen arrived at the village two hours later. He was dressed in his daily clothes and accompanied the passing scholars. When he saw the water in the field, he stared with excitement. He rubbed his eyes hard, fearing that he was not seeing clearly.
"Really." That's great! People can finally sow seeds and plant rice.
The government office drove through several towns and saw the same situation in every village. Zhang Zhiwen felt uneasy and decided to get off the car.
"parking."
The driver of the government office immediately pulled the reins and said, "Whoa."
The horse stopped, and a government official took up the stirrups and put them down, then helped Mr. Zhang get off the carriage.
The people passing by were all discussing matters related to growing crops.
"It's a little late this year, and I don't know if I can catch up."
"Yeah, our family is worried too."
Zhang Zhiwen heard their conversation and turned around to interrupt them.
"Excuse me, what crops were you discussing just now?"
The two looked at him in confusion, "Yeah, what's the problem?"
Zhang Zhiwen looked embarrassed. "Didn't you say that there is a severe water shortage recently? Why is it that suddenly..."
Before he could finish, the two of them smiled at each other.
"Oh, this matter has been resolved, thanks to Miss Shen."
Zhang Zhiwen was stunned. How could he be related to a girl?
"Why is it all thanks to Miss Shen?" This puzzled him.
"Because she helped us find the water source."
Zhang Zhiwen understood it immediately, but could a girl have such great ability?
"I have something to ask the village chief. Can you show me the way?"
The two men took him to the home of Village Chief Dong.
Shen Jiarou was still playing the yarn turning game with Ruan Qingling and others. Seeing that Yaer lost again, everyone laughed.
"Ya'er, you lost again."
Yaer felt a little aggrieved because she always lost.
Seeing that they were having fun, the two ladies couldn't help but interrupt.
"Hello girl."
Shen Jiarou looked up and saw two ladies and two men looking in their direction.
"Auntie Li, Auntie Wang, why are you here?" Why did the two men follow?
Aunt Wang glanced at the man next to her and explained, "This is what happened. These two brothers said they were looking for the village chief, so we brought him here."
Before the old lady spoke, Zhang Zhiwen saw the elegant Shen Jiarou. When he heard the old lady calling her girl, he was stunned. Could she be the girl they were talking about?
But she looked only six or seven years old, and the fact that she could find water made him suspicious.
Aunt Li explained to Zhang Zhiwen, "She is the Miss Shen we are talking about."
Now that his identity was confirmed, Zhang Zhiwen's pupils dilated. Village Chief Dong came out immediately after hearing that someone was looking for him.
He looked at Aunt Li and Aunt Wang, then glanced at the man with extraordinary temperament beside them, and asked in confusion.
"Are you looking for me?"
Zhang Zhiwen cupped his hands and said, "That's right."
He suddenly thought of something. The princess personally conferred by the emperor was named Shen, and she was only six or seven years old. Now the way he looked at Shen Jiarou was different again.
"Excuse me, young lady, are you going to the county town this time?"
Nanny Su and others immediately became alert, and Bao Zhiqing clenched his hands around his weapons.
Shen Jiarou remained calm and composed, "Sir, is there something wrong?"
Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Zhang Zhiwen immediately revealed his identity.
"I live in the county town. If you go there, I might be able to help you if you need anything."
Shen Jiarou was not a fool, and she knew he was trying to trick her. Therefore, she became curious about his identity.
A young man came here inexplicably, and it is hard to imagine his purpose.
"May I ask how your family makes a living?"
Village chief Dong felt a headache when he heard them speaking in sign language.
"We are all doing business in the government office."
Shen Jiarou understood and asked, "Are you the county magistrate?"
Village Chief Dong, Aunt Li, Aunt Wang and everyone else looked at them in surprise.
What? The county magistrate is here?
Nanny Su and Nanny He looked at each other, and Nanny Su shook her head slightly.
Shen Jiarou clearly saw that he was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything and waited for him to speak.
"Are you a county lord?"
Ordinary people probably don't understand these grades.
Seeing that he finally got to the point, Shen Jiarou nodded lightly.
"Exactly."
Zhang Zhiwen and the government office were shocked. "Sir, this matter is serious. We should investigate and confirm it."
It would be bad if there was a mistake.
Shen Jiarou was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so she introduced herself, "My name is Shen Jiarou, I'm six years old, and I came to this county this time to see the five-story house."
Zhang Zhiwen and Fu Ya were stunned and saw each other. They immediately bowed in fear.
"Your humble servant Zhang Zhiwen pays respect to the Lord of Yongkang County."
"I pay my respects to Lord Yongkang."
Village chief Dong and others were shocked when they saw this scene.
Aunt Wang was shocked and asked, "What? Your subordinate? Could it be the county magistrate?"
Shen Jiarou put down the wool and sat up straight.
"Get up."
"I thank Lord Yongkang."
"I thank Lord Yongkang."
Seeing that this did not seem fake, Village Chief Dong looked at Shen Jiarou in confusion.
"Girl, what's going on?"
Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "He is the county magistrate, Mr. Zhang, and I am a county lady, so my official position is higher than his."
Her simple words were understood by everyone.
But what Village Chief Dong didn't understand was why she came to their Nanning County.
"But why did you come to Nanning County?" Mainly to help them find water.
Zhang Zhiwen said solemnly, "Nanning County is now the same as Anren County, and it belongs to the fiefdom of the county lord."
Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and stood up. "Yes, what Lord Zhang said is true. I came here to see the fiefdom. I happened to meet him when I passed by here. I wanted to see if I could help, so I stayed."
Village chief Dong understood now and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"I pay my respects to the Lord of the County. I pay my respects to His Excellency."
Aunt Wang and Aunt Li also knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the Lord, Your Excellency."
When Aunt Zheng heard what they said, she was so scared that she dropped the water scoop in her hand to the ground.
