The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

"You can listen to the two regulations to avoid exile."

When the onlookers heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

"First, the bridge and road construction will take a month, and you will be fully responsible for the expenses; second, you can spend 10,000 taels."

Zhen Luosang listened with great admiration.

Zhou Youwen gasped when he heard this. Wow, ten thousand taels. The princess is really bold.

Mr. Yao was also very surprised, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Yao Xingye was a man who was afraid of death and fatigue, so he hurriedly urged his father.

"Dad, I am your son, you can't not save me."

Yao Yuanwai gritted his teeth and replied, "I choose the second one."

Shen Jiarou stood up cheerfully and said, "In that case, I will be disrespectful to refuse. Let's settle the bill on the spot. The documents should be in triplicate."

Then Shen Jiarou looked at the master again and said, "Thank you, Master."

After all the money was received, Nanny Su suddenly spoke.

"Wait, the fifty lashes haven't been given yet."

Yao Xingye fainted when he heard this.

Mr. Yao almost felt dizzy.

Zhou Youwen's head was buzzing at this time. Oh, things are going to be difficult today.

In the end, Mr. Yao spent another 20,000 taels to cover the 30 lashes of the cane for himself and his son. The remaining 20 lashes were beaten hard by the yamen runners under the supervision of Shen Jiarou, and the two men fainted on the spot due to the pain.

Zhou Youwen took one look and looked at Shen Jiarou uncomfortably.

"Princess, look..."

"It's up to you."

After the servants of the Yao family took away Mr. Yao and Yao Xingye, Zhou Youwen hurriedly and carefully brought the princess to the inner house.

"Princess, today..."

His hesitant words made Shen Jiarou look at him again.

"Why, are you afraid of his revenge?"

Zhou Youwen was shocked. Oh my God, the princess really dares to say anything.

"Wei Chen dare not."

"The ground is so cold, get up and sit down."

Zhou Youwen was stunned. "Hey, may I thank you for your kindness?"

Shen Jiarou looked at the scenery and said, "Guardian Feng, take a hundred taels of silver and give it to Lord Zhou."

Feng Jingyun took out a hundred-yuan silver note and presented it to Mr. Zhou.

This wave of operations made Zhou Youwen stunned, "This..."

What is going on with this princess?

"Take it. You've worked so hard for so long. Consider it your reward for your hard work. Don't worry, I will explain the situation to the emperor. This is not a bribe."

After hearing this, Zhou Youwen took it carefully.

"Thank you very much for the reward, my lady. If you don't mind, would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Then I'm sorry to bother you."

Nanny Su and others were confused. What did the princess mean?

Normally, the princess doesn't like to eat at anyone's house.

Seeing that the princess agreed, Zhou Youwen immediately asked his wife to arrange the meal personally.

Yao Yuanwai and his son were carried home by their servants and did not wake up until four quarters past three in the morning.

When Mr. Yao opened his eyes and saw that it was his own yard, he finally felt relieved.

Shen Jiarou tossed and turned all day until she woke up at 5:15 p.m.

"Princess, you finally woke up. I'll ask someone to prepare the meal."

Seeing Elemental Frost hurriedly leave, Shen Jiarou blinked and sat up.

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang came in with water for washing. Not long after, Yaer also came in with a tray.

"Princess, the new clothes that Master's wife made for you are ready. I'll let this servant bring them to you."

Shen Jiarou looked up and saw a beautiful and gentle purple color on the tray.

"Hey, open it and let me see."

Yaer was stunned, and the elemental frost that came in quickly opened it.

The embroidery on it is very delicate, with beautiful orchids on the neckline and cuffs. The skirt is also a gentle purple, and there are a few beautiful orchids on the waist. Shen Jiarou loves it very much.

""Just wear this and help me get a suitable hairstyle."

In the dining room, Su Yuwan's family of three saw the young girl approaching. The purple hairpin on her head swayed with every step, looking very beautiful.

"I have met the teacher, his wife and his sisters."

The three returned the gift.

After everyone sat down, Su Yuwan looked gently at the girl who was sitting obediently.

"Yes, purple suits you very well. We are both gentle ladies from noble families."

The accompanying Nanny Su nodded in agreement, "The princess is now elegant and dignified in her every move, and has the temperament of a lady from a noble family."

Shen Jiarou was so delighted by the compliment that she was in a very good mood throughout breakfast. She ate two bowls of porridge, a corn bun and a white flour bun.

Mr. Xie rang the bell and everyone sat down properly and prepared for class.

"Today, I will teach you the Analects..."

After talking about some of "The Analects of Confucius", Shen Jiarou and others began to practice calligraphy.

Confucius said: "Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? Is it not a sign of a gentleman to not be angry when people don't know him?"

Mr. Xie walked around the classroom, stopping from time to time to watch the students practicing calligraphy. After a quarter of an hour, he had finished looking at everyone's handwriting.

"The princess's handwriting has improved, becoming more majestic and dignified. Qingling's handwriting is also very good, with a touch of gentleness. Shutong's handwriting is quite heroic, because it is related to your martial arts..."

Everyone was commented on, but everyone had a smile on their face.

After lunch, Shen Jiarou went back to the yard to take a nap. Today she did not sleep on the bed, but on a rocking chair that she had specially made for her.

Ruan Qingling brought a wool blanket and gently covered her with it. Shen Jiarou closed her eyes and began to fall asleep.

An hour later, everyone went to class together again and started another afternoon of Confucius.

After a short break after class, Shen Jiarou went to Xie Lianxiang's yard to play with her.

"Senior sister, I'm here to see you."

Xie Lianxiang, who heard the noise, bowed when she realized it was her junior sister coming to the door.

"Meet the princess' junior sister."

"No need to be polite, Senior Sister."

"Please come in, Junior Sister Princess."

Shen Jiarou approached and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xie Lianxiang smiled gently, "Practicing calligraphy."

Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling and others, and then smiled.

"The teacher also asked us to practice calligraphy today. We started to study the Analects of Confucius."

The maid beside Xie Lianxiang respectfully poured water for the princess, and Shen Jiarou took it with a faint smile, "Thank you!"

After drinking their tea, everyone came to Xie Lianxiang's small study to admire her handwriting together.

When we saw the neat and tidy handwriting, we looked at each other, our eyes full of admiration.

"Senior sister is really amazing."

Xie Lianxiang glanced at Zhen Luosang who was speaking and smiled.

"If you practice more, you will be good at it. I am still pretty basic."

Several people shook their heads. The senior sisters' handwriting was considered basic, but their handwriting was gentle and looked like dog chewed words.

A few days later, the sisters who were admiring the flowers in the courtyard were reciting poems and composing couplets with Xie Lianxiang.

A servant hurried past in the corridor.

"I greet the princess and Miss Xie."

Shen Jiarou opened her full lips slightly and said, "No need to be polite. What's the matter?"

The servant bowed slightly respectfully and said, "My lord, Mr. Yao has sent a note saying that he wants to see you at 5:05 pm."

In the main hall, Shen Jiarou, who was sitting upright, saw Mr. Yao walk in with a slightly unsteady step.

"The common people have met the princess."

"No need to be polite, Mr. Yao, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Princess, for letting me sit down."

The accompanying servant gently stroked him down, leaving Shen Jiarou and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"I don't know what Mr. Yao wants, but I have to ask for an audience before he recovers."

Mr. Yao was feeling miserable inside, but he smiled on the surface.

"Yao is bothering me today because I want to discuss cooperation with you. I wonder if you are interested in listening."

Shen Jiarou raised her eyebrows. "Oh, tell me about it."

Listening to Mr. Yao's vivid narration, Shen Jiarou frowned and smiled at times.
