After the morning court session ended the next day, the emperor sent Xiao Linzi to deliver the reward to the Mu Mansion. Although Murong Shu said no, he had no choice but to give it. Saving his Qingle and the emperor's son was a greater merit to the emperor than saving him.

The rewards that came with it also included those from the Rong Mansion.

Murong Shu came back late yesterday. She was still sleeping when Xiao Linzi arrived at the Mu Mansion. When Xiao Linzi arrived, he received instructions from the Queen Mother that if Miss Mu was not convenient, she did not need to receive the order in person.

My own master, Eunuch De, also specifically instructed me that the attitude of the Third Master Wen towards Miss Mu yesterday explained everything. Anyway, he came to deliver the reward, so it was enough to just deliver it. It didn't matter whether Murong Shu received it personally or not.

After leaving Mu Mansion, Xiao Linzi led his men to Rong Mansion without stopping. The emperor not only converted ginseng into silver and sent it over, but also rewarded them with some other things, the most important of which was a plaque.

"The First Royal Merchant", with this plaque, the Rong family will become the royal merchant, and their identity and status will be completely different from the past.

Master Rong and Rong Yunnan went to the shop early in the morning. They had to reconcile the accounts today. Xiao Linzi knew the relationship between the Rong and Mu families and did not make things difficult.

Because they were in a hurry to return to the palace to report, Mrs. Rong and Rong Yunnan's wife Zheng accepted the reward together. Zheng went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives some time ago and just came back with the children recently.

Madam Rong and Zheng were both confused. What on earth had happened? Why did the palace send rewards to their family so early in the morning and make them royal merchants?

Although Mrs. Rong was panicked, she still asked someone to give Xiao Linzi a big red envelope. The Rong family was rich, and Xiao Linzi said that this was the biggest red envelope he had ever received.

After Xiao Linzi and his group left, Zheng asked uncertainly, "Mother, what is going on?"

"I don't know either. Hurry up and ask someone to call the master and Yunnan back." When Mrs. Rong heard her daughter-in-law asking her, she was also confused. How could she know what happened?

When the servant arrived at Yinfeng Tower, Rong Qing was also in the store. After hearing the servant's report, several people hurried back to the Rong family.

"Madam, where are the people from the palace?" Master Rong asked anxiously as soon as he entered the house.

"Master, the people from the palace have left and left a box of banknotes, some rewards, and a plaque." Mrs. Rong pointed to these things in the main room and showed them to Master Rong.

"Mother, has anyone told me why the emperor gave these things to our family?" Rong Yunnan didn't believe that this was a reward for no reason. There must be a reason.

"Husband, I remember now. The eunuch seemed to have said that this box of banknotes was the money to buy ginseng." Zheng suddenly remembered that eunuch Lin mentioned it at that time.

"Sister, did you sell the ginseng?" Rong Yunnan knew that Rong Qing came to get the ginseng yesterday, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time. Now that his wife said it was ginseng money, he thought that his sister had sold the ginseng.

"I have never sold it. Shu'er wanted to use it yesterday. I thought the one in the Mu Mansion was not as old as the one in the Rong Mansion, so I came to take this one. I don't know what Shu'er is going to use it for." Rong Qing explained to his family.

"Is Shu'er at home today?" Master Rong asked his daughter.

"She hadn't gotten up yet when I left. I guess she should be here. She came back late yesterday and slept a little longer in the morning." Murong Shu hadn't gotten up yet when Rong Qing left, so she concluded that Murong Shu should still be at home at this time.

"Madam, please put your things away. Yunnan, Qing'er and I will go to the Mu Mansion to ask Shu'er what happened. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy." Master Rong instructed his wife and daughter-in-law.

"Master, just go ahead and don't worry." Mrs. Rong fully agreed with Master Rong's approach, otherwise this inexplicable reward would make people very uneasy.

"Yunnan, take that box of banknotes to Shu'er." Master Rong felt that all this was thanks to Murong Shu, so he planned to give the banknotes to Murong Shu, which the little girl could use to buy small things.

When they arrived at the Mu Mansion, Murong Shu had just gotten up and packed. Song Wei and Old Madam Mu had not returned from Huishan Temple yet. Murong Shu was very surprised when he heard that his second aunt and Master Rong were looking for him.

Murong Shu felt that his second aunt and Master Rong would not look for him for no reason, so he asked Xiao Tao to help him pack up and then went to Rong Qing's yard.

Rongqing's yard.

While Master Rong was drinking his second cup of tea, Murong Shu came over with Xiao Tao. Before they entered the main house, they heard her voice, "Grandpa Rong, I heard that you came to see Shu'er today."

"Uncle Yunnan is here too!" Murong Shu entered the room and found that not only Master Rong was here, but also Rong Yunnan. Murong Shu was a little curious about what day it was today.

"Shu'er, come in and sit down. Have you had breakfast? Did we disturb your rest?" If it wasn't an emergency, they wouldn't disturb Murong Shu.

"Second Aunt, Shu'er has fallen asleep and has missed breakfast. Can you ask the kitchen to prepare lunch earlier?" Murong Shu was preparing breakfast and lunch together.

"Child, how can you not eat breakfast? Go and get some cakes for the Fifth Miss to fill her stomach first. By the way, notify the kitchen to have lunch an hour earlier today and add a few more dishes." Rong Qing first ordered the servants to get the cakes, and then asked someone to notify them to serve lunch earlier.

"I knew that Second Aunt loves me the most." Murong Shu acted coquettishly to Rong Qing.

Master Rong and Rong Yunnan were very happy to see that they had such a good relationship.

"By the way, Grandpa Rong, Uncle Yunnan, is there anything you want to talk to Shu'er about?" Murong Shu finally remembered why he came to Second Aunt's yard. It was not because Grandpa Rong wanted to talk to him about something.

Hearing her question, Master Rong and Rong Yunnan nodded together, and then Rong Yunnan told Murong Shu about the emperor sending someone to deliver the reward.

"I didn't expect the emperor to be so quick and actually sent the silver!" Murong Shu didn't expect the emperor to be so quick.

"Shu'er, what do you mean by really sending silver?" As soon as Master Rong heard Murong Shu's words, he knew he was asking the right person.

"Yesterday I asked Second Aunt to get some ginseng for the Empress and the little prince. I originally brought it with me for emergency use, but I didn't expect it would actually be used. When the Emperor asked me what reward I wanted, I refused him, but I took the money for the ginseng."

It would have been better if Murong Shu didn't explain. This explanation shocked everyone. She didn't want the reward from the emperor, but asked the emperor for the silver for ginseng. It was so magical. The key point was that the emperor actually gave it to her.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in surprise, Murong Shu asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did Shu'er do something wrong?"

"Shu'er, thank you, Second Aunt. Did you know that the Emperor also gave the Rong family a plaque with the words 'The First Royal Merchant'? This is something that the Rong family has been trying to obtain for generations but has yet to obtain." Rong Qing was so excited that she was about to cry. Shu'er was really the lucky star of their family.

"Is a plaque from Second Aunt really that important?" Murong Shu really didn't understand the importance of this plaque to the Rong family.

Seeing several people nodding in unison, Murong Shu felt that this emperor was capable and good at giving rewards.

"Shu'er, this is for you." Master Rong handed the thing in his arms to Murong Shu.

"Grandpa Rong, what is this?"

"Shu'er, just open it and you'll know!" Rong Yunnan motioned for her to open it.
