Chapter 171 Being sealed
In front of everyone, Rong Sheng slowly put the pill into his mouth.
A delicate fragrance with a slightly bitter taste spreads in the mouth.
No chewing is required; the pills melt instantly in the mouth, and the liquid is quickly transported to the stomach.
Everyone saw that Rong Sheng had an expression of enjoyment on his face.
After a while, Emperor Mingcheng saw that he was alright.
Only then did I feel relieved.
"Your Majesty, I have finished testing the medicine."
Rong Sheng reported to the emperor.
Emperor Cheng of Ming nodded slightly.
"Rong Sheng, listen to the decree."
Upon hearing the emperor's decree, Rong Sheng immediately knelt down.
"Your painstaking efforts have greatly pleased me."
The tribute presented this time is all rare and precious, demonstrating your sincere devotion.
His intentions are commendable. Therefore, you are hereby appointed as Assistant Director of the Department of Medicine in Jiangnan Prefecture, and your Rong family is permitted to continue in the position of Imperial Merchant, as a reward.
"I hope you will continue to serve the country loyally and share my burdens. This is my decree!"
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your great favor! Long live the Emperor!"
Rong Sheng suppressed his inner elation.
It was as expected.
The emperor not only bestowed upon them an official position, but also allowed the Rong family to continue serving as imperial merchants.
The ministers looked on with disdain.
A businessman is a businessman after all; it's just a nominal position, but look how happy he is.
The news that Rong Sheng had been granted an official position and would continue to serve as a royal merchant spread throughout the capital.
Not only was Madam Rong happy, but Little Madam Rong was even happier.
In this way, the Rong family's position is secure.
Perhaps out of respect for his elder brother, the young master Lu will plead with the emperor on his behalf.
I believe Deng Weishan will be released soon.
After leaving the palace, Rong Sheng went directly to the Marquis's residence to visit his younger sister, Rong Shi.
At this moment, he was led into the hall by a servant.
In the main hall, the Marquis sat in the main seat with a cold expression.
He was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a blue jade belt around his waist.
Paired with a delicate and exquisite jade pendant, it exudes an air of nobility.
Rong Sheng stepped forward and bowed to him.
"Rong Sheng greets Your Excellency, may Your Excellency be well!"
The Marquis slightly raised his hand, gesturing for him to stand up.
"No need to be polite."
Lu Chengping scrutinized the person in front of him.
He heard that Rong Sheng had presented the emperor with a divine pill in court today, and the emperor, pleased, bestowed upon him the position of Assistant Minister.
Lu Chengping narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I heard that you presented a medicine to His Majesty today. How come I've never heard of the Rong family being able to make medicine before?"
The Marquis was feeling depressed.
Such good medicine, why doesn't Rong Sheng send me some?
Rong Sheng's expression hardened slightly.
He said awkwardly, "My lord, our Rong family has only ventured into the medical field in the last year or two."
Luckily, they were able to develop this Baoji Ginseng Pill some time ago.
Because this was among the first batch developed, it is extremely rare.
Therefore, they thought of presenting it to His Majesty first.
"If Your Excellency is interested, I will certainly have a few pills sent to the Marquis's residence when the next batch is developed..."
He heard that Rong Sheng had not forgotten him, nor had he forgotten their Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.
Lu Chengping felt a little more at ease.
Don't think he doesn't know how much benefit and advantage the Rong family has gained by relying on their Dingguo Marquis's mansion.
“Okay, okay.
"The Rong family is truly blessed by your foresight, Rong Sheng."
A slight smile appeared on Rong Sheng's lips, but his lowered eyes held a cold sarcasm.
They originally thought that by attaching themselves to the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, they could gain their protection.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hanting was secretly collecting evidence of the Rong family's crimes.
If he hadn't unleashed his ultimate move, he probably would have been killed by his son.
The two chatted idly for half an hour.
The Marquis looked at the attendant beside him.
"Where is the Rong family? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Returning to the Marquis's residence, I have already sent someone to call them; they should be arriving soon."
A short while later, Rong Shi arrived at the main hall with small, quick steps.
Stepping into the courtyard.
When Rong saw her elder brother Rong Sheng, she burst into tears before she could even speak.
The Marquis was displeased to see Rong's appearance.
The family burst into tears as soon as they arrived, as if they had suffered some great injustice at his mansion.
Lu Chengping's face darkened.
Upon seeing this, Madam Rong immediately stopped crying.
"May Your Excellency be well."
Lady Rong bowed to the Marquis.
"Ah."
"Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
You siblings should catch up!
"Respectfully seeing off the Marquis!"
"Please take care, my lord!"
As Lu Chengping passed by Rong, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the few specks on her neck.
Although I felt puzzled.
However, because Rong Sheng was there, Lu Chengping did not stop to ask further questions.
The brother and sister chatted for more than an hour before Rong Sheng took his leave of the Marquis's residence.
The news of Rong Sheng's long journey to the capital to present medicine had already spread throughout the capital.
The noble families were all curious whether the pills were really as effective as rumored.
Some people even offered high prices to obtain this medicine.
It is said that the Rong family is very good at keeping secrets, and this medicine is not available on the market at all.
Moreover, they heard that only a few pills were produced in this first batch.
As for who has it, they have no way of knowing.
Wei Garden.
He Yuyan had already heard about the Rong family's offering of medicine to the emperor.
She was curious about what kind of miraculous medicine it was that could make the emperor value it so much, and even bestow an official position upon Rong Sheng because of it.
"Girl, if only we could get one of these pills."
Mo Yu said enviously from the side.
She had heard that Baoji Ginseng Pills had the power to bring the dead back to life.
Who wouldn't want to have one of these medicines on hand?
That's like having an extra life!
Dingxiang watched from the side and said sarcastically:
"Everyone wants this kind of medicine, but you have to be qualified to receive it..."
After being retorted by Dingxiang, Moyu simply remained silent.
He Yuyan sighed as she listened to the two maids' words.
Yes, if only she could concoct such a popular and effective medicine.
Wei Garden will be widely known in the future.
And she won't always be compared to Wu Weiwei by others.
And I won't have to put up with her temper anymore.
During lunch, Moyu suddenly ran into the courtyard.
“Girl, I’ve found out.”
"It has that miraculous medicine, and more than one..."
Dingxiang was surprised.
“How is that possible?
"Weren't they all said to have been offered to His Majesty? How could they have ended up in the market?"
"Sister Dingxiang, it's true. I just heard it from Songzi at the gatehouse."
The last remaining one is now at Jubao Tower, and I heard it's going to be auctioned off later.
He Yuyan came out of the room.
"Moyu, is what you're saying true?"
Is Jubaolou auctioning off these Baoji Ginseng Pills today?
"Yes, young lady."
He Yuyan was momentarily distracted.
If she could get her hands on this pill and thoroughly study its formula, that would be ideal.
Who knows, I might be able to make such pills myself someday.
If it can be made, then at that time...
Thinking of this, He Yuyan said to Dingxiang, "Let's go, let's go to Jubaolou and join in the fun."
Just as He Yuyan left the mansion, Wu Weiwei received a message from Xiao Shitou.
Tell her that the Po Chai Ginseng Pills I sent yesterday will be auctioned off today at 1-3 PM.
If she goes there, a VIP seat will be arranged for her.
Wu Weiwei pursed her lips.
Since it was an auction, she naturally had to go and attend.
She looked at Wanqiu.
"Wanqiu, take the Ansheng Baoji Pill that Granny Mei developed yesterday with you. It might come in handy later."
