The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Xuzhou Zhi thought about it and took out a stack of rice paper from his arms.

"County Lord, this is the food our army needs right now."

Zhen Luosang walked over, took it, turned around and presented it to Shen Jiarou.

Shen Jiarou took it and looked at it. "Fifty thousand soldiers is not a small number."

Shen Jiarou looked at the three maids and said, "Since the army is in trouble and General Dingyuan has spoken personally, we, as members of the Dalin Dynasty, should do something. Maids, can you see how much food has been shipped out of the mansion?"

Nanny He knew the situation in Fenghe County best. "County Lady, General Xu, we have only been in your house for a short time. We also bought food and other things with money. If we were to share them, I'm afraid we can only share about ten stones."

Xuzhou Zhi was discouraged when he heard this, it was far from enough.

Shen Jiarou saw this and said, "General Xu, don't be discouraged. These are all we have in Fenghe County. Nanning County and Anren County have more. We also have potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, old pumpkins, white radishes, and carrots, which are all relatively durable. In addition, Anren County has some ginger beans, beans, and old pumpkins that we dried last year, as well as pickled cabbage, pickled carrots, pickled radishes, pickled ginger, and pickled garlic."

Xuzhou was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. "I will thank the county lady on behalf of the soldiers."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and said, "You can return the food to us when the time comes. As for the vegetables, dried vegetables, and pickled vegetables, you don't need them. It's just a token of our appreciation."

Xuzhou was moved when he heard this. He stood up and knelt on one knee, "Thank you, County Lord."

Shen Jiarou looked at the three maids and asked, "Mammies, how much grain can we allocate from Anren County and Nanning County?"

Madam Su thought about the accounts she had checked when she returned to the mansion some time ago. "Anren County should be able to allocate 90 to 100 shi. As for Nanning County, we have only been there for a few months, so we can probably allocate 30 to 40 shi."

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly after hearing this. "General Xu, this is probably all you have heard."

Xuzhou Zhi also knew that the county lady had done her best. "Then I'd like to trouble the county lady to send someone to help us get it. Thank you very much!"

After thinking it over, Shen Jiarou looked at Zhang Zirou who was standing quietly.

"Zi Rou, I'll leave this matter to you and the protection guards."

Zhang Zirou didn't expect that she would get the task so soon. She bowed respectfully.

"Yes, County Lord."

After the matter was settled, Shen Jiarou cordially invited Xuzhou Zhi, "General Xu, lunch time is almost here, let's have lunch together. During this time, I will have people prepare food and vegetables, and you can have people transport the food back to Fenghe County first."

Seeing this, the governor of Xuzhou bowed solemnly.

"In that case, I will obey the county lady. Thank you for your help."

Shen Jiarou looked at Nanny He and said, "Thank you, Nanny He, for making the arrangements."

"Yes, I will resign, old slave."

Nanny Wang looked at Nanny Su and ordered, "Madam Su, go to the kitchen and tell them that our county lady will have lunch with the generals, and also arrange for food for the soldiers outside."

Madam Su stood up and bowed. "Yes, Madam Wang. Princess, General Xu, Madam Wang, I will go and make the arrangements first."

Shen Jiarou glanced at Zhang Zirou and said, "Zirou, go back and tell them to plant vegetables on all the vacant land. Don't waste any of it. Soak the vegetables that need to be soaked, and dry some more vegetables while there's still sunshine."

Zhang Zirou bowed and said, "Yes, County Lady, I understand."

In the dining hall, Xuzhou Zhi and several generals accompanied Shen Jiarou for dinner.

Ruan Qingling specially prepared some wine to reward the generals.

During the banquet, the governor of Xuzhou raised his glass and said, "My lady, I thank you on behalf of the soldiers. I will drink this cup."

Shen Jiarou couldn't drink, so she asked Zhen Luosang to serve her a bowl of soup.

"I'll use soup instead of wine to wish all the generals a triumphant return."

The generals picked up the wine in their glasses and drank it all.

Shen Jiarou personally escorted the magistrate of Xuzhou to the gate of the mansion, and the magistrate of Xuzhou turned around and bowed.

"Please stay, my lady. I am sorry for disturbing you today. I am not very good at talking. I wish you a long life."

Shen Jiarou was accompanied out by Nanny Wang, Nanny Su, Nanny He, Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang, Yuansu Shuang, Yaer, and Zheng Shutong. They all smiled and covered their faces when they heard what happened.

"You're welcome, General Xu. See you later."

"See you later."

Everyone watched the team leave until they disappeared.

Nanny Wang turned and looked at the county lady. "County lady, it's windy outside, let's go back."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and nodded, "Let's go."

The days were just so ordinary. I went to classes, learned embroidery from time to time, and went out for an outing occasionally. Life was quite fulfilling.

At the end of the month, Nanny Su was sent by Shen Jiarou to Shundao County to purchase houses and shops. In order to train the personal maids, Shen Jiarou sent Zhen Luosang, Yaer and Xu Zhi to Nanny Su to take care of them.

Shundao County

Yongkang County Princess's Residence

In the front yard, Nanny Su taught Yaer Zhen Luosang about the affairs of the inner house; taught Zhen Luosang about the affairs of the fields; and taught Xu Zhi about the management of the guards in the mansion.

In order to avoid troubles and problems in the future, Zhen Luosang and Yaer were asked to learn each other's affairs at the same time so that they could substitute at any time when needed in the future, but they mainly divided the work and learned their own areas.

Another month passed and everyone arrived in Shundao County.

One day, Shen Jiarou and Xie Lianxiang went out to burn incense and go out for a picnic. On the way back, they were robbed by bandits. Shen Jiarou and Xie Lianxiang were forced to separate during the fight. Xie Lianxiang was shocked to see her sister rolling down the hillside.

"Don't fight any more, save your sister."

Upon hearing this, the guards protecting Shen Jiarou quickly dealt with the people on their hands and came to Xie Lianxiang.

Zheng Shutong helped Xie Lianxiang up, "Miss Xie, where is the county lady?"

Xie Lianxiang was terrified and said, "Junior sister has rolled down the hillside, please save her quickly."

Zheng Shutong was shocked. "What?"

At this time, government officers and soldiers came on horseback and asked, "Who is robbing here in broad daylight?"

When Zheng Shutong saw that it was someone from the government, he quickly took out the county lord's token.

"We are the guards of the county lady's mansion. Our county lady has fallen down the hill. Please help us find her."

The officers and soldiers were shocked when they heard this. "What? The county lady rolled down the hillside."

It’s over. The county princess got into trouble within their jurisdiction. What should they do?

The officers and soldiers had seen the world before, so they quickly calmed down.

"The ten of you will be responsible for cleaning up the scene. Don't miss any place. The rest of you will work with the people in the County Lord's Mansion to find the County Lord."

Seeing this, Zheng Shutong quickly arranged for two people to escort Xie Lianxiang back. Knowing that he could not help, Xie Lianxiang returned home under the escort of the two.

When Nanny Wang, Nanny Su, Nanny He and others found out, they were horrified.

"What? The county lady rolled down the hillside."

Xie Lianxiang had already recovered by this time, and said with tears in her eyes, “Yes, during the fight, my junior sister and I were forced to separate, and she accidentally rolled down the hillside.”

If she hadn't gone to burn incense, nothing would have happened to her junior sister.

Zheng Shutong brought everyone along to search, but they still didn't find the county lady until dark.

After returning home, Nanny Wang and others started to panic when they learned about the news.

When Xie Lianxiang heard this, she fainted.

"Thank you, Miss."

Su Yuwan quickly bent down and hugged her daughter.

"Lianxiang, wake up."
