The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 163 Taking the Princess to Visit the Marquis' Mansion

They were all from marquis's families, and they were very particular about dining etiquette, so the meal went on harmoniously.

After the meal, in the old lady's courtyard house, Lady Yong'an prepared fruits, snacks, candied fruits and cakes.

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an looked at the gentle and beautiful girl and asked, "Princess, can you stay overnight?"

Everyone looked at her, and Shen Jiarou shook her head gently, "No, next time."

This was a tactful refusal, and Lady Yong'an Marquis nodded slightly.

The others were a little disappointed, but they still wanted the princess to stay in the mansion so that they could find an opportunity to get in touch with her.

The old lady spoke up to smooth things over, "The princess has been really hard-working these days. I heard that she has been busy on the farm. Thanks to you, otherwise the capital would be even more annoyed."

Shen Jiarou smiled lightly, "Grandma, you are joking. Jiarou is just trying to do her part. It is because my father values ​​her that he promoted Jiarou and gave her a reward."

Lady Yong'an admired the princess's low-key and modest character, and was very appreciative and pleased with her behavior.

"Good children are a blessing to all of us."

Shen Jiarou was not familiar with them and didn't know what they were talking about, but when she saw the eldest sister from the second room, she spoke a few words to show her concern.

"My eldest sister and her husband have been married for six years. It's a little early, but they have a son and a daughter, which is perfect."

Second wife Jiang Shuyuan said softly, "The princess is right, but girls usually get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. This pair of children makes me and my husband very happy."

When Shen Jiarou heard her say that she would get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she thought that there seemed to be several teenagers in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.

She raised her eyes and looked at the wife of Yong'an Marquis. "There are quite a few sisters who are fifteen or sixteen years old. Have they arranged marriages yet?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an sighed softly, "All the male members of the mansion died in battle ten years ago, and the mansion has fallen into decline. Now it is a little difficult to arrange marriages for the daughters."

It was difficult, falling from an aristocratic family, and this was something none of them had expected.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiarou said apologetically, "I'm sorry, mother."

The wife of Yong'an Marquis shook her head and said, "This has nothing to do with the princess. It's our fate as the Yong'an Marquis. It just implicates several daughters. It's much more difficult to arrange marriages now."

People who are too good will look down on you, and people who are too low-class will feel that you are not a good match for me.

Shen Jiarou understood the twists and turns and said, "When the sisters get married, I will prepare a dowry for each of them, so that others will not look down on them."

The old lady was moved by what she heard. "Grandmother, thank you first, Princess."

Princess Yongkang was deeply loved by the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress, and she must have received many rewards on a daily basis. She was also very capable and had a lot of private property under her name. If the princess really added dowries to her granddaughters, it would be great.

Alas, she is just a child after all. It is somewhat laughable to let a child add makeup. But now that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is in turmoil, it is too late to care so much.

The unmarried ladies were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly stood up to express their gratitude.

"Thank you princess."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "Sisters, you are too polite. By the way, have you ever been to Xianyan Tower?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Never."

"Then come to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow and have breakfast together. Then I'll take you to the Fairy Face Building to wash your faces, get beauty treatments, and get massages."

Thinking of the other ladies, Shen Jiarou looked at the elders.

"Can grandma, mother and others go?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an shook her head and said, "Mother will not go. Let them go. They should also follow the princess to see the world."

Seeing this, Shen Jiarou did not force it.

"That's fine. I'll take you there when I have time. Let's have some fun today and have lunch at Shi Ya Xuan Restaurant. But the elders will be a little lonely."

The old lady was startled when she heard this, and then she was delighted, "It's OK, Princess, just do whatever you want, we won't get in the way."

The two concubine daughters of Marquis Yong'an, Jiang Shuya and Jiang Shufei, as well as the two legitimate daughters of the second wife, Jiang Shuxin and Jiang Shujia, were all very happy.

Jiang Shuyuan from the second room was a little envious, and Shen Jiarou saw it out of the corner of her eye.

"The eldest sister from the second house should come along too. By the way, what's her maiden name?" There were too many people and she couldn't remember them all.

Jiang Shuyuan was stunned. "Princess, it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"

After all, she had been married for many years, and all of them were unmarried people.

"It's okay. We are all sisters. I should go see my princess and have a look to relax."

The old lady was afraid that her eldest granddaughter would upset the princess, so she spoke up and made the decision for her.

"Shu Yuan, listen to the princess."

Jiang Shuyuan stood up and bowed, "Yes, Grandmother. Princess, I thank you."

Shen Jiarou was quite satisfied with her knowledge and manners.

For the rest of the time, Lady Yong'an took her to visit the mansion.

"Princess, that was the old lady's Xiangyi Courtyard before, my main courtyard is Youlan House, the two concubines live in Maple Leaf Courtyard, my second brother and his wife live in Nanning Courtyard, and my second brother and his wife's eldest daughter lives in Siya Pavilion...

By the way, I have asked someone to clean up the lotus garden in the front yard, so that the princess can rest there when she comes to the mansion."

When she heard it was the front yard, Shen Jiarou was stunned.

"Mother, isn't this front yard a bit inconvenient?" She, who has no blood relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, lives in the front yard?

The wife of Yong'an Marquis patted her little hand and said, "It's okay. I've asked the old lady for permission, and my mother-in-law agrees."

In this case, Shen Jiarou couldn't refuse anymore.

"OK then."

The second lady quickly interrupted, "Princess, do you want to go to the front yard and take a look?"

After hearing what she said, Shen Jiarou felt that it would be difficult not to go.

"Then go and have a look."

Everyone walked towards the front yard and entered the Lotus Courtyard. They saw the lotus pond and the pavilion in the pond.

"It looks pretty nice. There's also a lotus pond. The lotus seeds must be ripe at this time of year."

Jiang Shufei has a lively personality and immediately agreed with Shen Jiarou when she heard her words.

"Princess, if you like to eat lotus seeds, how about we pick them this afternoon?"

When everyone heard this, they found it very interesting.

Shen Jiarou shook her head slightly. "Not today, let's wait a few days. Then I'll send someone to bring some seasonings from the Princess's Mansion, and we can barbecue in the courtyard. Everyone can come and have fun together."

When everyone heard this, they looked up in surprise, and Jiang Shuxin was very interested.

"Princess, what is barbecue?" It sounds interesting.

"A kind of food, you can grill meat or vegetables."

Zhen Luosang, who had been quiet the whole time, chuckled and said, "Girl, the barbecue the princess said is delicious."

After hearing what she said, everyone became more interested.

Seeing that they were having a good chat, Lady Yong'an was also very happy.

"Princess, when you come, please have someone notify you so that we won't neglect you."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "Mother, you are joking. Just don't find me annoying when the time comes."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an knew that she was joking and just smiled gently.

At this time, everyone had come to visit the house, and the other girls in Yong'an Marquis's Mansion were surprised by what they saw.

They usually can't come to the front yard because it is much bigger than their own yard in the backyard.
