Chapter 1,144 Xia Shouzhong delivers the edict, Su Mingzhe responds
After receiving the order, the internal official Xia Shouzhong came to Rongguo Mansion to ask for Peiyuan Pill and its prescription.
Rongguo Mansion just encountered an accident last night. When the concierge's servant saw an angel coming, he thought something bad had happened. He was so frightened that he crawled into Rongxi Hall to report it.
After receiving the message, Jia Zheng didn't know the purpose of the angel's visit, but he didn't dare to neglect it at all. He ordered people to open the middle door to welcome the angel in, and at the same time, he notified the men in his family to come and see the angel.
With Jia Zheng's compliments, Xia Shouzhong came to the Hall of Rongxi and sat at the head of the table. Then he said that he had brought the Emperor and the Emperor's decree to give it to Jia Ying, the son of the Jia family.
Although Jia Zheng was a little surprised as to what had happened, seeing that Xia Shouzhong's expression was gentle and his tone did not sound like he was looking for trouble, he relaxed a little and asked Xia Shouzhong to sit in the Rongxi Hall to rest, and then sent someone to notify Su Mingzhe to come and receive the order. .
Not long after, Jia She received the news and came to see him.
Jia Lian, Jia Huan and Jia Lan, three juniors, also came to wait outside the hall.
Xia Shouzhong was secretly proud when he saw everyone in Rongguo Mansion lowering their eyebrows and bowing their heads in front of him.
Twenty years ago, he was just an inconspicuous little eunuch beside the fourth prince.
But Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo Mansion, was the leader among the four princes and eight princes.
When the two meet, I need to bow and salute from a distance.
Things turned around, and he became the eunuch in charge of the royal study, second only to Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace who served the Supreme Emperor.
However, the Rongning and Ningfus were in the wrong team and could not even inherit the title of Duke.
Jia She only got a first-class general.
Jia Zhen was even worse. She only got a third-grade mighty general.
If I meet the head of the Rongguo Mansion again, the entire Rongguo Mansion family will be trembling to receive me.
It’s very refreshing just thinking about it.
On the other side, Su Mingzhe, who was having lunch in the company of Xiren and Qingwen, learned that Xia Shouzhong, the emperor's confidant, had arrived and had a decree for him. His consciousness expanded and he heard the words of Xia Shouzhong, Jia Zheng, and Jia She. dialogue.
Knowing that Xia Shouzhong came here for the prescription of Pei Yuan Dan, Su Mingzhe asked Qingwen to sort out the prescriptions he had written, and then ordered his attacker to go to Lin Daiyu to get the remaining Pei Yuan Dan.
After everything was settled, Su Mingzhe took his time, dressed properly, and followed the servant to Rongxi Hall.
At this moment, in front of the Hall of Rongxi, the incense table to welcome the angels has been set up.
All the men in Jia's family knelt quietly in the courtyard.
Su Mingzhe, following the instructions from his internal officials, came to Jia Zheng and Jia She and knelt down.
Xia Shouzhong delivered the emperor's oral edict, and Su Mingzhe accepted it.
After getting up, Su Mingzhe ordered his young servant Mingyan to find Qingwen to get the elixir prescription and Peiyuan Dan, while he talked to Xia Shouzhong:
"Father, the medicinal materials needed for this Peiyuan Pill are extremely precious. There are not enough medicinal materials in our house, so I can only make one batch and get ten pills. My family is not feeling well, so I have used five pills, and there are still five pills left. , I’ll order someone to get it!”
When Xia Shouzhong saw Su Mingzhe's face was red and his teeth were white, he was good-looking, and when he talked to him, he was unhurried and calm, and described things in a detailed and orderly manner. This made him feel good:
"Second Young Master, don't be afraid. The main reason for our coming here is for the elixir. Some of the young masters in the palace are not in good health. Long Live also learned from the Supreme Emperor that the Second Young Master has developed such a magical elixir that can make up for the innate deficiencies.
, that’s why we ordered our family to come and inquire.”
When Su Mingzhe heard the whole story, he thanked him.
Although because the Rongning and Ningfus were in the wrong team, they offended the current Emperor Longqing, causing the attackers to be demoted to the rank of attackers.
However, the Supreme Emperor, who held the real power in the court, and his confidant eunuch Dai Quan still maintained close contacts with the Rongning and Ningfus.
This means that the Supreme Emperor still treats Rong Ning and the Second Mansion as his confidants.
However, as the Supreme Emperor gets older and older, the Rongning Palace also needs to consider how to ease the relationship with Emperor Longqing.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mingzhe continued:
"Eunuch, it's not surprising that I discovered this elixir. It's just that I found a few ancient prescriptions, used the right monarch and ministers to assist, and harmonized the five elements."
When Xia Shouzhong heard what Su Mingzhe said, he couldn't help but look surprised.
Anyone who knows a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine knows that the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the combination of "monarch medicine and ministerial medicine".
However, Xia Shouzhong heard something strange from Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe paused and continued:
"Although the elixir recipe is nothing unusual, if you want to practice the Peiyuan elixir well, you need to control the heat accurately. Otherwise, if you are not careful, it may increase the erysipelas in the least, or it may turn into a poisonous elixir in the worst case.
Therefore, I would like to ask my father-in-law to report to the Holy One, if I can personally teach the alchemists in the palace how to refine the Yuan Pei Dan to avoid wasting medicinal materials!"
Xia Shouzhong silently looked at Su Mingzhe, who had clear eyes. After a while, he nodded and said:
"Our family will remember the words of the second young master. If His Majesty has a decree, our family will come again to invite the second young master to the palace!"
"Thank you for your kind words, father-in-law!"
Seeing that Xia Shouzhong understood the meaning of his words, Su Mingzhe chatted with Xia Shouzhong for a few words about the taboos of taking Peiyuan Dan.
Xia Shouzhong also wrote them all down one by one.
Not long after, Mingyan ran back panting and holding the jade box. Su Mingzhe took it and handed it to Xia Shouzhong.
Seeing that Xia Shouzhong was about to leave after taking the Danfang and Peiyuan Dan, Jia Lian quickly followed behind and stuffed a few banknotes in his hand.
Xia Shouzhong looked down at the numbers on the banknote and then accepted it with a smile.
Everyone in the Jia Mansion sent the angel off respectfully. Just as they were about to wipe away the cold sweat secretly and return to the house, they saw more than 20 government officials approaching from a distance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue!
In fact, these government officials had arrived long ago.
However, they saw Yulin guards guarding the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and after asking, they learned that the manor was welcoming an angel. They were so frightened that the gang of government officials hid in a nearby corner and did not dare to show their faces.
After waiting for Xia Shouzhong to take his people away, these fast-moving government officials came out and stopped everyone in Rongguo Mansion.
It's also a coincidence.
Because it was time to welcome the angel, both the masters and servants of the Rongguo Mansion, as well as the men and women, stayed in the front and back yards.
The police officers took out the fire lottery and picked people directly according to the list given by Zhou Rui, Leng Zixing and others.
In just a moment, more than 30 housekeepers and stewards, including Lai Da, Lai Er and his wife, Lin Zhixiao and his wife, Wu Xindeng and his wife, were tied up.
Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing and other female relatives also wanted to intercede for their confidants, but they were stopped by Jia Zheng's scolding.
In Jia Zheng's view, all the slaves in the house relied on their masters to support them, and they all lost their rules. After leaving the door, they simply pressed their master's face to the ground and stepped on them.
The incident where Su Mingzhe and Jia Mu fainted last night has already scared Jia Zhenghou to this day.
If Rongning and Ningfu no longer need to pay strict attention to regulations and rectification, I am afraid that the master will really call the slave "Master".
And Jia Zheng knew that his wife would not be able to do anything serious.
If that's the case, then let's just let Mr. Fu Yin teach him a lesson and straighten out the family style of Rongguo Mansion.
With Jia Zheng in the way, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others could only watch as their close confidants were all taken away.
Su Mingzhe watched all this happen in front of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
