Chapter 764: Check! Who sent such a generous gift?
The Bai brothers and sisters inquired about Tang Bao's preferences at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, and the masters in the Bai Mansion almost fought because of Tang Bao.
"Master, did you see clearly?" The eldest lady looked at the eldest master in shock and asked, "Is this health-preserving pill really what the emperor is taking?"
The master's eyes were fixed on two small white porcelain bottles among the pile of gifts.
"No doubt..." the elder master said excitedly, "I've seen it once, no, twice. The health-preserving pills the emperor takes are stored in bottles like this..."
There are several ancient seal characters on this small white porcelain bottle.
He once accidentally heard Eunuch Liu in the palace say that this ancient seal character was the exclusive logo of the contemporary miraculous doctor - Dr. Hua.
The health-preserving pills the emperor has been taking in recent years were all developed by Divine Doctor Hua. They contain the legendary Ganoderma lucidum, which has the effect of prolonging life and achieving immortality...
Except for the emperor, no one, not even the nobles, is qualified to take this health-preserving pill.
Tian Mama, the housekeeper beside the eldest lady, glanced at her and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
However, the eldest lady did not notice anything unusual about Mother Tian.
Mother Tian thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Master, Madam, I have seen this kind of bottle at the Empress Dowager's place..."
The eldest master and the eldest lady looked at each other and became more and more excited.
The master carefully picked up a small porcelain bottle and uncorked it.
A faint medicinal fragrance instantly emanated from the bottle.
The master took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed and clear-headed.
"That's the smell!" The elder master's voice trembled. "When the emperor took it, the smell coming out of the bottle was the same as this..."
After the master finished speaking, he poured out a golden pill with shaking hands.
"This shape... this color... this smell... it couldn't be better..."
The master said this excitedly and almost put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
——This is a miracle drug that can prolong life and bring immortality!
You know, the emperor has been very busy these past few years, but he has become more energetic and radiant...
However, how could such a rare and miraculous medicine appear here?
The master suddenly came to his senses.
"Check quickly! Who sent it?" the master said anxiously.
However, the eldest lady seemed not to hear what the eldest master said.
His eyes were fixed on the other two small porcelain bottles next to the health pills.
The two small porcelain bottles were blue, with wide mouths, and also had ancient seal characters marked on them.
"This is... the anti-aging cream..." The eldest lady's voice also trembled.
The Master: “…”
He had never heard of what anti-aging cream was.
But the ancient seal characters on the bottle show who made it.
The eldest lady looked at the eldest master eagerly and said, "Master, I've seen this anti-aging cream at the hands of Princess Ning. Princess Ning treasures it like it's something she wouldn't trade for anything..."
As the eldest lady spoke, she thought of the face of Princess Ning.
Although he is the same age as me, he looks as if he is ten years younger than me.
When the eldest lady said this, her voice dropped to a low level, with a mysterious expression on her face.
"Master, it is said that Princess Ning was once close to the Empress, and this anti-aging cream was given to her by the Empress. Even the concubines in the palace don't have it..."
The master's heart moved.
I looked at the anti-aging cream and then at the health-preserving pills.
The Empress has been imprisoned by the Emperor for many years, but she is using something developed by Doctor Hua.
And it's something that no other concubines in the palace have...
It seems that the Emperor has some unusual feelings for the Empress...
In that case, the Third Prince...
After all, the master has been in officialdom for many years.
Although he is not particularly smart and his abilities are not particularly outstanding, he does have at least some political sense.
The master's mind became active.
Since the emperor deposed the crown prince, he has not appointed a successor for many years.
Who said that the position of crown prince is not reserved for the third prince?
Although, the Bai family did not need to participate in the battle for the crown prince,
However, if it is a sure thing, then why not do it if you can get the credit for following the dragon for free?
The master's mind was in turmoil, but his spirits were high.
The eldest lady's mind was still on the anti-aging cream.
Although all gifts received had to be confiscated, since she was in charge of the household affairs of the Bai Mansion, it was common for a few things to be missing.
Such a rare thing, of course I kept it for myself.
If I can use it frequently, I can say that...
No! Who on earth gave me such a precious gift?
The eldest lady finally remembered this and hurriedly picked up the account book that had been thrown aside and began to check it.
When the eldest master saw this, he put aside all other thoughts and started searching with the eldest lady.
This is not... this... is not...
Found it!
Su Mansion, Su Tang, free two bottles of health pills and two bottles of anti-aging cream.
The Master: “…”
Madam: “…”
The couple looked shocked.
No one expected that the person who gave such a generous gift would be a little girl.
The master tried to calm his heartbeat and asked the mistress in a somewhat dry voice.
"What gift did you give the Su family's little girl today?"
Madam: “…”
I originally thought that giving a pair of glass bead flowers was a kind of superior reward.
But now I feel that it is too embarrassing!
The gift given by others turned into ashes in seconds!
The master's heart sank.
"You didn't send it off, did you?" The eldest master shouted anxiously, his face flushed with anxiety: "Didn't mother say that she wanted to befriend this little girl from the Su family?"
The eldest lady said quickly, "Yes, it is a gift. It is a pair of glass bead flowers. I bought them specially at a foreign goods store in the capital."
The master breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't too rude.
"Send another generous gift to the Su family another day." The master ordered.
The eldest lady nodded quickly in agreement.
Then, the couple's eyes fell on the health pills and anti-aging cream respectively.
The eldest lady said, "Master, it would be better if these two things were not put into the warehouse..."
Although the eldest lady did not say it out loud, the eldest master understood what she meant.
Because this was what he originally meant.
However, man proposes, God disposes, and the voice of the second master was heard at the door.
"Brother, is there anything rare among today's gifts?"
The second master said this and walked in, followed by the second mistress who looked unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, mother asked you to take charge of the household chores, but not to enrich yourself." The second wife's voice was a little sharp.
The eldest master and the eldest lady both changed color.
The couple looked at each other and realized that the matter of the health-preserving pills and the anti-aging cream must have been heard by the couple in the second room.
The eldest lady immediately glared at Mother Tian.
Mother Tian felt very wronged.
In order to show fairness, the eldest lady never hides anything from others when she manages the accounts.
Who would have thought that this time when he wanted to secretly withhold something, he would be caught by the couple from the second room.
