The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Zhang Zhiwen was invited by Village Chief Dong and others to sit down. He looked up at Shen Jiarou and knew that he could not cross the line without the master's permission.

"Please sit down. My waist hurts when I talk while standing."

Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang and the other two couldn't help laughing, but luckily they didn't make any sound so it wasn't considered rude.

Before Zhang Zhiwen sat down, everyone stood up and stood properly.

"Thank you, Lord."

Seeing that Village Chief Dong was trembling with fear, Shen Jiarou smiled at him and said, "Uncle Dong, please sit down. It's a good opportunity for us to chat."

Then she looked at the two ladies.

"Auntie Wang, Auntie Li, if you are busy at home, please go back first."

The two men retreated in fear, and only patted their chests after they left the village chief's house.

"Miss Shen is actually a princess."

Aunt Wang didn't care about that. "Who cares? As long as he works for the common people, he is a good official."

When Aunt Li heard this, she began to admire Shen Jiarou in her heart.

At Village Chief Dong's house, the two adults and one child stared at each other, and no one dared to speak easily. In desperation, Shen Jiarou had to tell Village Chief Dong about her ideas and plans.

"Uncle Dong, I'll have someone buy oxen for plowing the fields. They'll be able to help you plow the fields soon, and our efficiency will be improved."

When Village Chief Dong heard this, he knelt down excitedly.

"On behalf of the villagers, I would like to thank you, Lord."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen also expressed his opinion.

"Your Excellency's suggestion is very practical. Because the weather is not good, the people have not had water to plow the fields and plant rice, which has indeed delayed many things."

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Zhiwen boldly asked, "May I ask when the princess will return home?"

Nanny Su and Nanny He also looked at her.

"How about you stay here for a day and join us tomorrow?"

Zhang Zhiwen was stunned and glanced at everyone.

"convenient?"

Village chief Dong didn't dare to interrupt and was as quiet as a quail.

Shen Jiarou looked at Village Chief Dong and said, "Uncle Dong, is it convenient?"

Her words forced Village Chief Dong to speak.

"I have no problem with this commoner. It depends on you, my Lord."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled, "Then it's decided. We will set off together tomorrow morning."

Zhang Zhiwen responded respectfully, "Yes, I obey your command. Then I will ask the government office to go back and inform them first."

Shen Jiarou remained dignified and nodded slightly.

"Well, they are almost ready for dinner. Can you tell me about Nanning County?" After all, she had just arrived and needed some time to adapt.

After Zhang Zhiwen's explanation, everyone had a similar understanding.

Thinking of the master's birthday, Nanny Su couldn't help but say, "Master, your seventh birthday is coming soon. Where do you want to hold it?"

In Anren County, they do have many partners, mutual suppliers, and neighbors, but here, everything has to start from scratch.

When Zhang Zhiwen thought about her performance, he had a selfish idea in his mind and wanted her to stay in Nanning County to celebrate her birthday.

After all, she is a county princess, and Nanning County is her fiefdom. She cares so much about the people, so it is imperative that she quickly gains a foothold in Nanning County.

Shen Jiarou was not interested in celebrating birthdays and just responded indifferently.

"Madam Su, please take care of it."

Madam Su and Madam He looked at each other and said, "I think we should hold it in Nanning County. We should hold the housewarming party first, and then the birthday party. We will get to know everyone better after a few visits."

Shen Jiarou thought her idea was good and nodded in agreement.

"Row."

The next morning, Shen Jiarou was called by Nanny Su to wash and dress.

When their carriage left, Village Chief Dong and Aunt Zheng felt empty in their hearts.

"Old Dong, do you think the county lord will come back?"

Village Chief Dong shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Several horse-drawn carriages arrived at the county town, and because of Zhang Zhiwen's relationship, they were exempted from the entrance fee.

Zhen Luosang quietly opened the curtain, and Shen Jiarou happened to look over. The county town was bustling with people walking on the street. There were very few vendors hawking their wares, and it was obvious that the economy was not doing well.

Shen Jiarou sighed helplessly in her heart. She felt that she was here just to help the poor.

Nanny Su and Nanny He noticed her little emotion and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"Your Excellency is blessed with great fortune. With your help, Nanning County will surely become as prosperous as Anren County."

What they didn’t know was that Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty thought the same way.

That afternoon, an imperial edict arrived at the Anren County Government Office.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Upon seeing this, Lord Li quickly arranged for people to make solemn preparations. When everything was ready, everyone bowed respectfully with their hands on the ground.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Li Muchen, the Magistrate of Anren County, has governed well and performed his duties with loyalty. He is hereby appointed as the 500th rank Magistrate to continue to be in charge of all matters of Anren County. When necessary, he may consult with the Princess of Yongkang. He is awarded taels of silver, two gold bars, and ten pieces of silk cloth. This is my decree!"

When Lord Li heard this, he was very excited. He actually got promoted?

"The humble minister accepts the order."

Lord Li is not a pedantic person, and he knows a little about how to behave in society. Since Shen Jiarou appeared, he would often visit her and learn a little more about how to behave in society.

Lord Li had already brought some silver with him when he asked someone to prepare it.

He walked up to the eunuch who announced the imperial decree and stuffed a bag of silver into his hand.

"Please have some tea, sir."

"Thank you, Lord Li, congratulations on your promotion, and I wish you continued success."

Lord Li was very happy to hear his blessings.

"I would like to lend you my father-in-law's good words."

The eunuch who announced the imperial edict looked around and gave some advice for the sake of silver.

"Sir Li, your county has a bright future. Look at the county lord, he has been promoted one after another."

After hearing his words and waiting for the eunuch who announced the imperial edict to leave, Lord Li fell into deep thought.

He also felt that since the appearance of the princess, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Zhang Zhiwen accompanied Shen Jiarou and others into the Princess's Mansion. Seeing the spotlessly clean mansion, Shen Jiarou nodded with satisfaction.

"Thanks for your hard work."

She looked at Zhen Luosang and said, "Luosang, take ten taels of silver and give it to Lord Zhang. Please ask Lord Zhang to give it to the cleaner for us."

Zhang Zhiwen did not refuse upon hearing this and reached out to take the silver that Zhen Luosang handed over.

"I will take it for them and thank you for your reward."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and sat in the main seat in the main hall.

"Master Zhang, I'll have to trouble you to unveil the door plaque during the housewarming party."

Zhang Zhiwen happily agreed, "I will definitely come."

Shen Jiarou asked Ruan Qingling to deliver a box of Longjing tea to Mr. Zhang, and Zhang Zhiwen accepted it with surprise.

"Thank you, Lord."

After she left, Shen Jiarou visibly relaxed.

“It’s so tiring to carry.”

Nanny Su and Nanny He couldn't help but smile at each other, while Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang and the other three also covered their faces and laughed.

Seeing a house of the same size, Shen Jiarou fell into memories.

"I don't know what the main courtyard looks like. The mansion is so empty. Why don't we plant some fruit trees and tea trees?"

Nanny Su, who had adapted to her new master's personality, couldn't help but expose her.

"Master, it is you who wants to reach out and pick the fruit in the future."

The usually quiet Elemental Frost couldn't help but smile gently, and her curved eyebrows made her look very adorable.
