The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 482 Jiang Ruofan Carves a Wooden Hairpin as a Betrothal Gift

Jiang Ruofan was lying on the bed in Yilan Residence, thinking about the issue of betrothal gifts.

His mother and sisters were embroidering betrothal gifts for him, so he should also try to prepare some himself.

But now they have no money and no people, how can he think of a way to prepare the betrothal gifts? The princess's marriage was already unfair to him, and he couldn't let her suffer more injustice in the betrothal gifts.

Jiang Ruofan, who couldn't sleep, decided to get up. He got out of bed and walked to the couch. Seeing several carving tools on the coffee table, he instantly had an idea.

Jiang Ruofeng got up and went to Yilan Residence, and found that his elder brother was asleep on the coffee table.

His eldest brother was actually carving a wooden hairpin. He looked at a peach wood hairpin that had already been carved and picked it up to look at it, then lowered his head to look at his eldest brother who was sleeping on his stomach, his face showing heartache.

Thinking about how his elder sister embroidered a betrothal gift for his elder brother yesterday, what was there that Jiang Ruofeng didn't understand?

My eldest brother carved a peach wood hairpin in the middle of the night, which must be to prepare a betrothal gift for the princess and her sister-in-law.

Jiang Ruofan woke up in a daze and found someone next to him. He looked up with wide eyes and saw his younger brother.

"Ruofeng, why are you here?"

"Brother, are you carving the hairpin to prepare a betrothal gift for the princess?"

He saw the peach wood hairpin in his brother's hand and nodded: "Yes, I don't know what to do for the time being, so I'll carve some hairpins first. The princess married me at a young age, which was already wronged. I can't let her wife be wronged."

"Brother is right. I also want to help you, but I don't know what I can do." If he had known this earlier, he should have learned various skills frequently in the past, so that he would not have no unique skills now.

Jiang Ruofan was deeply moved when he heard his brother's words.

"I am very pleased that you have this intention. Taking good care of your family and yourself is the greatest help to me."

Jiang Ruofeng understood that his elder brother was comforting him and trying to reassure him, and he really hated himself for being incompetent.

The sound of talking outside startled the two of them.

"Brother, it sounds like Jiang Cha Jiang Wu's voice."

Jiang Ruofan also heard it.

"Princess, please watch your step."

The two brothers were stunned. The princess is here too?

Jiang Ruofan felt a little embarrassed as he hadn't washed, changed his clothes, or combed his hair yet. It was quite rude to look like this, but it was too late now. He sighed helplessly and pulled his brother out to greet them.

Jiang Ruofan bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to the princess. May the princess be well."

Jiang Ruofeng said respectfully: "Greetings to the princess sister-in-law, please greet the princess sister-in-law."

"No need to be polite. Have you had breakfast yet?"

Jiang Ruofeng shook his head and nodded: "Sister-in-law Princess, you don't have to worry about us, so as not to affect you."

Shen Jiarou glanced at Jiang Ruofan and frowned slightly: "Did the prince consort just wake up?"

It seems that he hasn't washed, changed his clothes, or combed his hair yet.

Jiang Ruofan looked slightly embarrassed. It was really rude that they met for the first time after the princess left under such circumstances.

"Princess, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Sister Qingling, go and make arrangements and send it here."

Ruan Qingling was stunned for a moment, but she calmed down after a short while.

"Yes, princess."

As Ruan Qingling and others left, Shen Jiarou arranged for someone to take Jiang Cha and Jiang Wu to get water for Jiang Ruofan to wash. Suddenly, there were several fewer people outside the main courtyard, and it felt much more spacious.

"Jiang Cha and Jiang Wu will serve you from now on." As she spoke, Shen Jiarou had already arrived at the main house. She was stunned when she saw the debris all around the coffee table.

"What are you doing? Why are there still crumbs?"

"These are the crumbs from carving a hairpin."

Shen Jiarou and Zhen Luosang looked at each other in surprise.

"Wooden hairpin?" She looked down at the coffee table. There really was a wooden hairpin. The pattern on it looked a bit like peach blossoms.

"Yes, I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up and carved it." His words sounded a little uncomfortable, and Shen Jiarou also felt it.

"Amazing! This is the first time I've seen such carving skills."

Her words were full of praise and curiosity, without a trace of disgust.

"I carved it for you."

Shen Jiarou was stunned: "Do you want to make the betrothal gift yourself?"

Jiang Ruofan nodded shyly: "Yes."

Zhen Luosang frowned slightly: How much can this carved wooden hairpin be worth? Alas, her princess is really wronged. It would be fine if she just married down, but her husband's family didn't even give a decent betrothal gift. It would be strange if the princess wasn't laughed to death in the capital from now on.

Jiang Cha and Jiang Wu came in with water for washing.

"Princess, we have fetched water for washing." They were quite happy when they thought of the possibility in their hearts.

"I'm going to go outside for a walk. Please help the prince consort wash, change clothes and comb his hair."

Jiang Cha Jiang Wu said respectfully: "Yes, Princess."

That’s great, they can continue to serve the eldest master.

Shen Jiarou, Zhen Luosang, Zhang Zirou, Zheng Shutong and Nami visited Yilanju again.

"This place is quite big. If we build it up properly, it will definitely look great."

Zhang Zirou responded to Zheng Shutong's words: "Yes, Princess, Shutong is right."

Kaier said: "If we plant medicinal herbs here, how much should we plant?"

Rezana said, "Princess, we can make good arrangements later."

"No rush, let the prince consort take a look first." After all, Yilanju belongs to the main courtyard of the two of them. She can't just follow her own ideas. She still has to respect the prince consort appropriately, otherwise he won't be able to gain a real foothold in the mansion.

Ruan Qingling came over with the maids: "Princess, shall we have breakfast in the main room?"

"Just in the main house."

"Yes."

At this time, Jiang Ruofan was also dressed neatly. Shen Jiarou walked in afterwards, and the three masters and servants bowed respectfully again.

"No need to be polite, just sit down and eat."

Shen Jiarou took a corn and started to eat it, staring at Jiang Ruofan in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Is there something on her face?

Jiang Ruofan shook his head. He just didn't expect that the princess was so easy-going in private and didn't hide herself at all.

"Nothing." He saw the braised eggs on the table, reached out to pick them up and began to peel them. Shen Jiarou was chewing corn very seriously. The two of them ate in silence. The main room was so quiet that they could hear any movement outside.

Seeing the braised eggs handed to her, Shen Jiarou looked at him with confusion.

"For me?"

"Yes."

"Thank you." This guy is quite sensible and can be considered a teachable person.

After the meal, Shen Jiarou wanted to see him carving with her own eyes, so she sat aside and watched quietly, only to see his hands holding the tools moving.

"What kind of carving are you going to do?"

"I am going to carve a plum blossom."

"Plum blossom? You are really skillful with your hands. Are all the people in the Ministry of Works like this?"

"Not all of them. They all have their own duties and are good at different things."

Jiang Ruofan answered Shen Jiarou's questions patiently.

Jiang Ruofan was carving quietly, and Shen Jiarou was watching attentively.

"Besides carving wooden hairpins, can you carve other things?"

Jiang Ruofan's face was full of confusion: "What kind of items are you talking about, Princess?"

"Well, I don't know, it's probably anything other than the hairpin."

Zhen Luosang thought for a moment and said, "Prince Consort, what about that small box?"

Shen Jiarou's eyes lit up: "Yes, there are also some wooden combs."
