The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 50 Gifts from Su Yuwan and her daughter

Su Yuwan and her daughter picked up the teacups and sipped them. They found that the tea was of the best quality and they looked at each other at the same time.

Seeing the looks they gave her, Shen Jiarou explained, "This is last year's Longjing tea. If you are used to drinking it, I will ask Luosang to give each of you a bucket to take back and try."

Su Yuwan had been with her for these days and knew that she was just like that, so she gladly accepted it. At worst, she could just make her a dress next time.

"Okay, then Master's wife and Senior Sister will take it. Thank you, County Lord."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "As long as you like it."

Xie Lianxiang smiled gently, "Thank you, Junior Sister County Master."

Suddenly she remembered something and took out a purse from her arms.

"Junior sister, I don't have anything good to give you. I heard that you like orchids, so I embroidered one for you. Take a look."

Shen Jiarou was surprised when she heard it and said, "Sister, your skills are really good. I have been learning embroidery for a year, but it seems that I have not made any progress."

She was so annoyed. It was not easy to be a person in ancient times, especially for a county lady of a certain rank. The maids' demands on her were even higher.

Seeing her face wrinkled slightly, Xie Lianxiang quickly comforted her, "Junior sister is still young, and I am already fourteen. If this embroidery is not up to standard, it will really be a joke."

Shen Jiarou sighed slightly, "Ah, I don't think I'm that kind of person, but Madam Su said that all women in the world are like this."

Nanny Su heard the county lady's dissatisfaction and looked at the people in the room who were all her own people, so she tried to persuade her with all her heart.

"County Lady, you are still young now, and it is inevitable that you will not rise any higher in the future. If you are invited to various banquets in the future, you must have some skills to show for yourself, otherwise it will be a loss of face for you, don't you think?"

Shen Jiarou felt it made sense when she heard it, but she had no way to refute it. She just drooped her face slightly, and she looked so aggrieved.

When Su Yuwan saw Nanny Su say it directly in front of them and their daughter, she also understood that Nanny Su did not treat them as outsiders.

"County Lady, what Madam said makes sense. If you really feel bored in the future, let your senior sister accompany you."

Ruan Qingling smiled when she heard it.

"County Lady, Master's wife is right. Perhaps you haven't found the fun in it yet."

Xie Lianxiang also spoke at this time, "Junior Sister, when you are embroidering in the future, you can also let someone inform you, and I will come to accompany you."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you again in the future."

Xie Lianxiang liked her well-behaved and polite appearance. "We are all sisters, Junior Sister County Master, you are too polite."

Shen Jiarou couldn't let go of the purse. Seeing her like this, Su Yuwan took out the clothes she had prepared.

"County Lady, my master's wife made a dress for you. Please try it on to see if it fits you so I can make some alterations."

She originally wanted to ask directly, but after thinking about it, she decided to go with her own estimate.

Shen Jiarou looked at her in surprise when she heard it. "Really?"

She looked at the new clothes in front of her and was delighted.

When Zhen Luosang saw it, he hurriedly urged his county lady to try it.

"County Lady, I will help you change into them."

Shen Jiarou nodded, and the two of them walked towards the innermost room.

When Shen Jiarou came out after changing, everyone's eyes widened.

The skirt and the outer shirt are both lupine blue, with a lake blue lining underneath. Shen Jiarou looks even more elegant and gentle in her new clothes.

Nanny Su thought it was good and nodded slightly.

Su Yuwan praised sincerely, "Not bad."

Zhang Zirou thought about the county lady's current appearance, and thought it would look better if she wore a pair of lupine blue or lake blue earrings.

"If the county lady has pierced ears, it would look great with a pair of lupine blue or lake blue earrings."

Only then did Nanny Su realize that her master had no pierced ears.

"It's time to get an ear piercing."

Shen Jiarou was stunned and raised her hand to touch her ear.

"How did you get your ears pierced?"

Zheng Shutong said quickly, "Thread the needle slowly."

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou was shocked.

"Oh, that would be painful."

Xie Lianxiang covered her face and chuckled, "So women all start getting their ears pierced from a young age, so the pain isn't that great."

After listening to her senior sister's explanation, Shen Jiarou felt pain in her ears.

Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't help but cover their faces and laugh.

The lively atmosphere in the room was broken by the sound outside the door.

"County Lady, Lord Li wants to see you."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and the most surprised was Shen Jiarou.

Why did Lord Li want to see him?

Lord Li was invited into the main hall by Bao Zhiqing. "Lord Li, please take a seat. The county lady is on her way."

Upon hearing this, Lord Li thanked him politely, "Okay, thank you."

Half a minute later, Shen Jiarou, along with Nanny Su, Ruan Qingling and six others appeared in the main hall.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the Princess of Yongkang County."

"Hello, Lord Li."

Shen Jiarou stroked her skirt and sat down. She didn't like nonsense, so she went straight to the point and asked.

"I wonder what Lord Li is visiting for today?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Li stood up and saluted respectfully.

"I heard that the county lady was promoted, so I came to congratulate her. I should have come earlier, but I have been busy with official duties recently, so I can only spare the time today. I hope the county lady will forgive me."

Shen Jiarou understood, "Mr. Li, you are too polite. I wonder if the county is doing well during my recent absence."

Upon hearing this, Lord Li quickly said, "Nothing serious has happened. It's just that a few rich kids got drunk and accidentally overturned the common people's stalls, causing me to step back and get injured. But they have all seen a doctor, who has compensated me for my goods and a few days' work loss."

Seeing this, Shen Jiarou didn't say much.

"Lord Li, you came just in time today. Let's have lunch together. This county lady will be leaving tomorrow."

Lord Li was stunned. "You have only been back for a few days. Why are you leaving so soon?"

"I, the county lady of Fenghe County, still have to go and take a look. It would be better to go and take a look as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease."

Hearing this, Lord Li nodded in understanding.

"Then I am sorry to bother you today."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "It's okay."

In the dining hall, Shen Jiarou, Lord Li, Mr. Xie, Su Yuwan, and Xie Lianxiang were sitting around.

Looking at the three strange people, Lord Li asked in confusion, "Who are these three?"

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and introduced, "This is my master, my master's wife, and my master's sister."

After Lord Li nodded to them, Shen Jiarou walked towards the three of them and introduced them.

"Sir, Madam, Sister, this is our Anren County official, Lord Li."

"I have met Lord Li."

"It's nice to meet you, Lord Li."

"This humble lady greets Lord Li."

It was the first time for several people to dine together, so they were inevitably a little reserved.

After Nanny He arranged all the matters concerning the shop, she asked Chen Liehou to write two notices.

Soon, people gathered around to watch.

Someone in the crowd read out the notice: "The County Lord's Mansion is purchasing a large number of orchids from the people's homes. If you have other beautiful flowers and plants, you can also bring them to the County Lord's Mansion for a look. If they are suitable, we will accept them."

The onlookers were delighted, as the time had come to supplement their family income.

That afternoon, many people in the city moved their flowers and plants from their homes to the county lord's mansion.
