Reward

"It was passed down from the ancestors of a friend's family, and they decided to offer it up for free, and after I got the prescription, I found a few people suffering from coughing disorders to try it out, and it worked very well." Jing Chen said.

"It's still really surprising to me! Aside from that Su family kid, do you have other friends? I haven't seen you have contact with anyone's child in this capital?" The Emperor asked with some surprise.

Jing Chen didn't speak.

The Emperor guessed again: "Is it possible that it's not someone from the capital? I remember you went away for a few months last year, could it be a friend you met somewhere else, but Chen'er ah, it's treacherous out there, you have to be careful!" 

Jing Chen said: "If it's treacherous outside, can it be as treacherous as this palace?"

"You! Fine, I won't talk about it, since you showed this formula to me, you must have an opinion, right?" The Emperor exclaimed.

"I hope that Father can distribute this method to the medical centers all over the country of Dragon Soul Kingdom, so that the people who have contracted the cough disease can get rid of their illnesses, as well as the price set for this medicine shall be something that the people can afford to pay for." Jing Chen said.

The Emperor nodded happily and said: "Chen'er, you are very thoughtful and considerate of the people. This makes your father very happy."

Jing Chen said: "This is what a son should do as a prince, but isn't Father, as the Emperor, the head of the Dragon Soul Kingdom?"

The Emperor was a bit surprised that Jing Chen would ask such a thing, but he still nodded and said: "Of course."

"And are the nation's people not the subjects of Father?" 

"Certainly."

"Father, are you willing to make some small contribution to the well-being of the people of our Dragon Soul Kingdom?"

"Of course!"

"Father is so profoundly righteous, so pay the treasure!"

"As... silver? What kind of silver?" the Emperor stopped talking and asked.

"The one who offered this method is also the people of our Dragon Soul Kingdom, he is all too willing to offer his ancestral prescription for the people of our entire Dragon Soul Kingdom. Father, as the parents of all the people, if you don't honor them, won't it chill the hearts of the people of our Dragon Soul Kingdom?" Jing Chen said with a serious face and vigorously. 

"That makes some sense, but didn't you say that your friend was given free of charge?" the Emperor asked.

"They are willing to donate for free, which shows that they care about the people and cannot bear the suffering of the people. As a family of ordinary people, he has such a big heart, but as the father who has benefited, You don't deserve it!" Jing Chen said.

"You kid is talking a lot today, but in the past you've never talked more than a single word. I'd like to see what kind of ordinary people can make my aloof third son say nice things for them!" The Emperor said.

"Father, they've been kind to me and are just ordinary people, if Father is concerned about them, I'm afraid it might cause trouble for them." Jing Chen said.

"Then aren't you afraid that even if I reward them, they will be missed by someone with a purpose?" The Emperor asked.

"Father, if you give them the reward, there is no need to publicize it to the outside world. I will arrange for someone to send it over and it will not attract anyone's attention."

"You kid, you were holding back this trick. Since you have spoken well for them, and this is indeed a good deed, then I will reward them with 50,000 taels of gold, a pair of night pearls from East China Sea, in addition to my handwritten inscriptions "House of Virtue and Kindness" as well?" The Emperor said.

"Father, I feel that it's not enough, the words you wrote can't be exchanged for money, what the people want is nothing more than being able to have enough to eat, father might as well reward something practical." Jing Chen frowned.

"You brat! Do you know how many people want my handwriting? You actually said it's not worth it?" the Emperor said angrily.

"Father, is it possible that my physically weak body really got better all of a sudden? Could it be that grandmother's survival was also a sudden cure?" Jing Chen said with a straight face.

"What? Chen'er, are you saying that all this is also related to the family you mentioned?" The Emperor was a little surprised.

Jing Chen nodded.

"Reward! Must be rewarded! Since my handwriting is worthless, how about giving them a local idle official?" the Emperor asked.

"No! I believe they will take up the official career openly and honestly based on their own abilities." Jing Chen also learned in the letter that Xu Wenwu was brilliant in literature, the first year he went to the academy, he took the first place in the scholar examination, and his future would not be inferior.

The Emperor was surprised and said: "I really want to see what kind of family you are talking about. How can ordinary people have 500-year-old ginseng? How can your frail disease be cured in just a few months? Chen'er, are you sure they are just ordinary people?"

"I'm sure, but I hope Father can keep it a secret and not mention it to outsiders, I'm afraid they'll get in trouble for it." Jing Chen said.

"Good, father understands, since they saved the Empress Dowager, these rewards are a little less, then add another 50,000 taels of gold. I remember that Fan Guo offering ten pieces of Liuguang brocade before, leaving two pieces and giving the others as rewards, plus a pair of jasper Ruyi, and two pieces of gold, silver, and jade."

"Please also have Father send these things to my palace at an early date, and I'll take my leave." After Jingchen finished speaking, he left without looking back.

When the Emperor saw him leaving, he immediately shouted: "Chen'er, you haven't told me which town this family is in, or their surnames!" However, he could only see a piece of the corner of his coat, but his figure had long since disappeared.

"This kid, after utilizing me, he resumed his previous behavior and is not afraid that I will back out, but well! Since I have promised this kid, a gentleman should never lie!" After the Emperor muttered to himself, he picked up the writing brush on the table and wrote four big characters. After sealing the jade seal, he nodded with satisfaction.

......

Qibao went to town with his grandmother and the others the next day.

Mrs. Qian took Mrs. Wang and her daughters-in-law to a place specializing in selling needlework. She must have been a frequent customer of this place, and the owner was a middle-aged woman who was over forty years old.

When she saw Mrs. Qian, she immediately greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Qian is here to pick out embroidery thread today, right? It's a coincidence that new goods have just arrived. How about I take you to have a look?"

Mrs. Qian smiled and nodded.

Everyone came to a row of shelves and looked at the embroidery threads, which had indeed been put up not long ago.

Mrs. Qian began to pick carefully, and also taught Mrs. Wang and her daughters-in-law together to explain the skills of picking embroidery threads.

They picked two rolls of each color, which is quite a lot, and seeing that it was almost the time, Mrs. Qian said: " Owner, these will be enough."

The woman smiled and said: "Fine, I'll pack it for you."

When it was time to pay, Mrs. Qian was about to pull out her silver, but Mrs. Wang immediately stopped her: "How can I ask you to pay for it? I will pay the money!" 

Mrs. Zhang also tugged at Mrs. Qian to keep her from paying out the silver.

After Mrs. Wang paid for the silver, Kui Wu behind her put the needle and thread wrapped by the owner onto the carriage.

Mrs. Zhang said: "I haven't wandered around in a long time, so today is a good day to see if anything new has appeared in town."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Whatever you guys want to buy, just tell me, I'll pay for the silver!"

Qibao said with a smile: "Grandma is so kind and domineering!"

When Mrs. Wang heard her granddaughter's praise, the smile almost broke out.

The group of people were chatting and laughing, and passed by a jewelry store. Mrs. Wang glanced at it twice, but did not go in.

Qibao saw it and said: "Grandma, shall we go there and take a look?"

Mrs. Wang followed the direction of Qibao's finger and saw a jewelry shop, and said: "Okay, let's go in and take a look. If we find something we like, we'll buy it."

So, they went into the store.

The waiter in the store saw them and they were all well-dressed, so he stepped forward and greeted them with a smile: "Madams, we have all kinds of gold and silver jewelry in our store. May I show you all?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Take us to see if there is anything suitable for us. If I like it, I will buy it!"

"Okay, madam, come with me!" the waiter said with a smile.
