Murong Shu opened the box out of curiosity and was completely stunned. It was a box full of banknotes. Grandpa Rong just said that it was for him. What was going on?
Seeing Murong Shu's surprise, Master Rong smiled and said, "Shu'er, this is the ginseng money given by the emperor. Since you want it back, you can keep it to buy some small things."
"Ah, give them all to me. But that is the ginseng from the Rong Mansion. The money is the compensation from the emperor to you!" Murong Shu was completely numb. Did Grandpa Rong know what he was talking about? Who could use so many banknotes to buy small things?
"If the ginseng is gone, Grandpa Rong can ask people to buy more. But not everyone can get the emperor's reward. Grandpa is not short of money, so you can keep these for yourself." Master Rong waved his hand generously and pushed back the box of silver bills that Murong Shu handed over.
"Yes, Shu'er, just keep the flowers." Rong Yunnan also advised.
Rong Qing took it directly for Murong Shu and handed it to the maid Xiao Tao beside him, "Hold it for your young lady."
Xiao Tao was so excited holding a box of banknotes. Master Rong was so generous that he gave so many banknotes to the young lady.
Rong Qing invited Master Rong and Rong Yunnan to have lunch together. Master Rong now looked at Murong Shu with great admiration.
Just after they finished lunch, the Rong family sent someone to invite Master Rong and Rong Yunnan to return home, because the thank-you gift from the Wen family had also arrived.
The old lady of the Wen family knew that it was Murong Shu who entered the palace and used the ginseng that Madam Mu Er brought back to Rong Mansion to save her daughter and the emperor's grandson. She was very grateful. In addition to the thank-you gift given by the emperor, she also asked Wen Ye to go to Rong Mansion to deliver the thank-you gift on behalf of the Wen family.
Madam Rong and Young Master Rong's wife Zheng seem to be floating as they walk all day long. What kind of incredible luck do they have to be so rich?
"Mother, this ginseng of ours is too valuable. I'll ask father to help us find one with an older age." Zheng's family was also wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.
"This is not the value of ginseng, this is all Shu'er's credit. Shu'er is our family's lucky star. She cured Yunnan as soon as she came back, and now she has helped our Rong family to move to a higher level. We should be grateful to Shu'er. You must not listen to other people's nonsense and ruin the relationship with the Mu family."
Old Madam Rong was afraid that her daughter-in-law would not think so far ahead, and would be easily influenced by others and listen to the instigation of others, thus destroying the relationship with the Mu family.
"Mother, don't worry. I'm not that kind of person. Now that my husband is well, I'm happier than anyone else. I'm even more grateful to Miss Mu. What you said won't happen."
Zheng knew that her mother-in-law was giving her some advice, but she was sincerely grateful to Murong Shu for saving Rong Yunnan. To her, becoming an imperial merchant was not the most important thing, but a healthy husband was what she wanted.
"It's good for you to know. This time, the Wen family gave us admission to Qingshan Academy, so we will send the third child, Yu'er, and Hao'er there. The descendants of our Rong family must not only have the ability to make money, but also the ability to keep it."
"Thank you, mother!" Zheng was very excited. Yu'er and Hao'er were her eldest and second sons. They had always wanted to study at Qingshan Academy, but the academy had strict rules. This time, the Wen family directly gave the Rong family a place, which was something the Rong family could not buy no matter how much money they spent.
"Mother, should we hold a banquet at home to let everyone know that our Rong family has the title of 'the first merchant in the royal family'?" Zheng felt that this was a big event and a banquet should be held.
"Discuss it with the master and Yunnan in the evening. The third son will be back in these few days." Mrs. Rong agreed with her daughter-in-law's words, but still had to discuss it with her husband.
Mu family.
Murong Shu was so happy to get so many banknotes. Grandpa Rong was her biggest golden thigh. He gave me so many banknotes without blinking an eye and was even afraid that I would not want them. He was so rich and inhumane.
Now she just wanted to be a happy millet bug. Since she had so many banknotes, of course she had to go shopping. This time Murong Shu only made an appointment with Wen Jing. As for why, of course it was to enjoy the time alone with Wen Jing.
Wen Jing took Murong Shu to the teahouse to listen to books, the theater to watch operas, the study to read books, and the riverside to light lanterns...
When Wen Jing sent Murong Shu back home, they had already had dinner. To Murong Shu, it was like a date.
When Mousse came back from her shift in the evening, Rong Qing told her husband what had happened that day.
"Our Shu'er is amazing. The Queen and the little prince are safe and sound, and the Emperor is very happy." Mousse felt that the Emperor was smiling during the morning court today.
"Yes, our family has been getting better and better since Shu'er came back. I think Shu'er is our blessing." Rong Qing felt that Murong Shu was the lucky star for all of them.
"Madam, my father-in-law is so generous. Can you talk to him and give me some money to spend, like a box of silver bills!" Mousse thought of the box of silver bills that Master Rong gave to his niece and couldn't help but sigh at his father-in-law's generosity.
"Husband, that is the pocket money that daddy gives to Shu'er. If you are not afraid of being laughed at by others, I will let daddy give you some." Rong Qing knew that her husband was joking.
"What's so funny? Who in the capital doesn't envy me for having a wife and being able to live off her?" Mousse was shameless in front of Rong Qing, and the couple had always had a very good relationship.
"Husband, you can't say this outside." Rong Qing felt embarrassed by what Mousse said.
"Hahahaha, they are just jealous of me. If they had a gigolo to feed them, they might be happier than me."
"Husband, you are talking nonsense again. If mother hears it, she will scold you again." Mousse was often scolded by Madam Mu for talking nonsense.
"Mother is not at home, how would she know? Could it be that Madam is willing to go to mother and complain?" Mousse looked at Rong Qing pitifully, as if if Rong Qing said yes, he would cry in front of her immediately.
Rong Qing really has no way to deal with Mousse. She chose her husband herself, so she can spoil him herself.
"By the way, husband, my father said that he would hold a banquet in a few days. I will take Xiaoliu with me then." Rong Qing remembered that Master Rong was planning to hold a banquet to entertain some business partners.
"I'll go over when the time comes after I get off work. I'll take the kids who have nothing to do at home, and bring Shu'er along for dinner. My father-in-law just hired a few chefs to cook Sichuan cuisine. Shu'er will definitely like it." Mousse knows his little niece's taste very well.
"That's for sure. Daddy specially asked someone to find it because he knew Shu'er liked it."
"I also love Sichuan cuisine. Maybe my father-in-law found it for me, hehe." Mousse analyzed to Rong Qing narcissistically.
"Husband, it's good to be confident, but don't overdo it!" Rong Qing chose her niece over her husband.
"Ma'am, I'm so sad when you say that!"
"Why don't you ask your father?"
“I trust my own judgement.”
