The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 38 Housewarming Party

Madam Su agreed with Shen Jiarou's idea of ​​planting fruit trees and tea trees. Several girls had already started to chatter about what fruit trees were best to plant, and Madam Su and Madam He kept shaking their heads as they listened.

As expected, they are all children, and their temperaments are so active.

Ruan Qingling thought of the fruit trees full of pears and swallowed her saliva. "My Lord, let's plant a few pear trees. The pear blossoms in spring are also very beautiful. We can come back in autumn to eat the fruits."

It’s beautiful to think about.

Zhen Luosang thought of the beautiful peach blossoms and couldn't help but say, "Peach blossoms are beautiful, and peaches are delicious."

Seeing her drooling look, Shen Jiarou couldn't help but cover her face and smile.

"I like everything you said. I also like plum trees. Plum blossoms are also beautiful. Although not as white as pear blossoms, they are also beautiful in their own way."

Yaer thought of the big, round persimmons and couldn't help but say, "I think persimmons are good too. They can be made into pickled persimmons and persimmon cakes. Although the light yellow color is not as beautiful as pear or peach blossoms, it is also unique in its own way."

Shen Jiarou thought of persimmons, her eyes sparkling as she blurted out, "I know the answer to this question. Persimmons can also be used to stir-fry meat."

Everyone looked at her in surprise. "What? You can stir-fry meat?"

"Yes, you haven't eaten it, but I have, because I made it myself."

Seeing her master's bright and generous smile, Nanny Su couldn't help but join the girls' chat.

"What kind of tree does Su Shuang want to plant?"

Hearing Nanny Su's question, Elemental Frost spoke timidly.

"I think pomegranate flowers are pretty good. They can also pick pomegranates. Maybe the master will like to eat them."

Nanny He chuckled and joked.

"You all like flowers and fruits, you are definitely foodies."

The five little girls lowered their heads shyly, and Shen Jiarou waved her hand.

"Plant whatever you like. In spring, we can enjoy the flowers and the moon. In autumn, we can enjoy the fruits and the moon. It's a leisurely and enjoyable time."

Everyone was amused by her semi-literary words, and Nanny He teased her again.

"Following the master brings more joy."

Ruan Qingling echoed softly, "That's right, the master is the source of happiness for all of us."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Shen Jiarou was curious about the two maids' preferences, and looked up at them with interest.

"Mammy, do you have any favorites?"

Madam Su glanced at Madam He and said gently, "There are many things I like. However, since the master likes to grow something useful, why not plant some roses in the flower moss area? You can also pick and dry them to make rose tea."

"Hey, honeysuckle is also good. It can clear away heat, detoxify, and relieve wind-heat."

Everyone discussed the matter, and the next day, the Princess's Mansion began to purchase a large amount of goods. Surprisingly, they did not buy paintings and calligraphy or other items for display, but only purchased trees and potted plants.

Standing under the eaves, Shen Jiarou couldn't help but have a headache when she thought about the suffering of the people in Nanning County.

"Qingling, have them post notices everywhere, saying that the County Lord's Mansion is purchasing a large number of orchids. If there are any good-looking plants, you can bring them to the mansion for a look. If they are suitable, we will keep them."

Bao Zhiqing on the side thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, why don't you have someone ring the gong to announce it, and we'll give the appropriate amount of money."

After hearing this, Elemental Frost agreed very much and said, "My Lord, you can find beggars. It's no problem to find more than a few. We can even provide them with food."

Xu Zhi, who was always as quiet and indifferent as water, spoke faintly.

"We can also ask scholars to write the notice, and promote it in their circles."

Ruan Qingling was surprised by Xu Zhi's suggestion. "That's right. Most scholars are still quite poor. If there are people in their families, they can also rely on finding orchids to supplement their family income, killing two birds with one stone."

Shen Jiarou looked at them talking at once and smiled with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, you have all learned to draw inferences from one example, you have made progress, I will follow your lead."

The beggars looked up in confusion when they saw a man dressed as a guard approaching them.

"Brothers, there is a job here that will pay you money and provide you with food. Do you want to do it?"

Then beggars posted notices in Nanning County, and they did not leave any place untouched. This scene was reported to Zhang Zhiwen.

"What did you say? Beggars running around posting notices?"

The government office bowed and said, "Yes, sir, and it is a notice from the county lord's mansion."

"What's the content?"

The official took out a piece of paper with words written on it from his chest and said, "I have torn off a piece of paper. Please take a look."

Zhang Zhiwen smiled when he saw it, "I see, this is how it is. I guess the Lord of the County sympathizes with the people and came up with this trick on purpose."

After the official in the government office explained it, everyone understood it immediately.

"Our princess seems to be different from ordinary women."

Zhang Zhiwen rolled his eyes. "Who's six-year-old kid knows how to irrigate fields? When you and I were that age, we were probably still playing in the mud."

After hearing this, the government official smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe, how can this subordinate compare to the Lord?"

After two days of publicity efforts, people came to the Princess's Mansion to pick fresh orchids.

Ruan Qingling was in charge of purchasing orchids, Nanny Su was in charge of organizing the mansion, and Nanny He was in charge of compiling the list of guests for the housewarming party. Everyone performed their duties.

Shen Jiarou in the main courtyard was a little bored, leaning against the cushion in a daze.

Zhen Luosang guessed that her master was bored, and suggested that she go to the gate of the mansion to watch the excitement.

Shen Jiarou's eyes lit up and she said, "Let's go."

The three of them followed Shen Jiarou to the gate of the mansion. She felt sad for them when she saw the people, young and old, young and old, selling the orchids they had picked with great effort.

Ruan Qingling, who was checking on Youlan, caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure out of the corner of her eye and she quickly stood up and saluted.

"This slave has met the master."

Shen Jiarou raised her hand and asked, "What's going on?"

Ruan Qingling replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "My Lord, they are all in good condition. Now that we have planted them, we can smell the fragrance of orchids in our house again."

Zhen Luosang and the other two smiled at each other quietly.

Shen Jiarou came to each of the common people, saw the fresh orchids, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's really good. After buying it, let them plant it immediately."

From the first day Zhang Zhiwen learned about this, he sent ten government officials to the Princess's Mansion to help.

Shen Jiarou accepted his kindness and arranged ten people to guard the gate, while her men dug the soil and planted orchids.

Three days later, the entire Princess's Mansion was filled with the fragrance of orchids. Shen Jiarou could smell the faint fragrance even in her dreams, and she slept better.

On a sunny morning, Nanning County welcomed a major event: the housewarming party of the Princess's Mansion.

Zhang Zhiwen got up early on purpose, and after washing and getting ready, he took his master to the banquet.

In front of the Princess's Mansion, the government officials and soldiers were guarding the gate. The guests arrived as scheduled, and Zhang Zhiwen arrived neither early nor late.

Seeing today's protagonist, he bowed respectfully and said, "I am your humble servant, and I congratulate you on your new home."

"Get up."

As Nanny Su was a highly respected person among the servants, Shen Jiarou asked her to receive the plaque together with Zhang Zhiwen.

After the two washed their hands, they solemnly began to receive the plaque amid the expectation of everyone.

Seeing the plaque unveiled, Bao Zhiqing said in a loud voice, "The ceremony is over!"

The crowd cheered and applauded.

Shen Jiarou and others never expected that the ten tables they prepared would be full.
