The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

Although Mo Jinghong had just had a quarrel with Wen Qingcheng, he still protected her when he heard his grandfather say this about her.

"She is not that kind of person. Grandfather, you must not listen to what others say. Wen Qingcheng is a good girl who respects herself and loves herself. She is also very talented. When Hong'er was stranded outside, she was rescued by the Wen family. This time she came here because I begged her many times. She never took the initiative to seduce me. I was the one who chased her."

Mr. He was very surprised after hearing this. A girl from a small family would do anything to get promoted after learning about Mo Jinghong's high status. In Mo Jinghong's eyes, she was so perfect, which just showed that this girl had extraordinary means. She could deceive Mo Jinghong but not him! Mr. He thought.

"I can't say much about your private affairs. If Hong'er likes you, you can take her into your room when you marry your first wife in the future. You are now in front of His Majesty and the next head of the He family. You have an important status and must pay attention to the impact. Let this little girl surnamed Wen move out of the He family. Living in Changchun Courtyard will cause criticism. Outside, you can do whatever you want. You are old enough and I can't control you."

"Grandfather, Miss Wen and I have a deep relationship and I will never let her become my concubine."

"What? You still want to marry her?" Mr. He seemed to have heard a funny joke. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling.

"That's exactly what I meant." Mo Jinghong answered straightforwardly. Master He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Mo Jinghong and said angrily, "Ridiculous! I don't care how many women you have outside, your wife must marry a daughter of a noble family! You have made military achievements in your return to the capital this time, and your reputation in the capital has also improved. A few days ago, the Minister of the Ministry of War told me that his daughter Yunying is still unmarried and is interested in marrying us."

Mo Jinghong looked up at Master He and said hurriedly, "I have the final say on marriage, and I will not agree to marry those legitimate daughters."

"Are you out of your mind? Or does this woman surnamed Wen really know some kind of magic?" Mr. He got angry and shouted to the outside of the door: "Lan Yan——"

Soon, Lan Yan, Mr. He's personal servant, came in and said, "Master."

"Go and find the woman named Wen."

Lan Yan had been following Mr. He, so she knew who the woman surnamed Wen was that he was talking about. She hurriedly accepted the order and was about to go, but was stopped by Mo Jinghong.

"Don't go, come back!"

Lan Yan stopped, looked at Mo Jinghong, and then looked at Master He with a helpless look. Master He glared at Mo Jinghong without saying anything. Mo Jinghong waved to Lan Yan, and Lan Yan nodded and left.

Mo Jinghong didn't want his grandfather to call Wen Qingcheng over. His grandfather looked very dignified and fierce when he wasn't smiling. He didn't want to scare his little girl. Of course, Wen Qingcheng was not an ordinary girl. Even if she wasn't afraid, he didn't want the girl he liked to argue with his grandfather. Both sides were important to him.

"Grandfather, don't disturb her. She is currently developing a new dosage form, a granule that can be brewed directly. I have already found subjects to do the experiment. When the experimental results come out, we will launch this cold granule in the selection of Princess Anle this year."

Mr. He lowered his eyelids and thought, "Are you saying that the medicine powder you brought back to the mansion a few days ago was the new dosage form developed by this little girl?"

"That's right. Grandpa doesn't know her. She is very smart in making medicine. Do you remember the donkey hide gelatin I brought back from Qinghe County in the summer? Grandma said it was good after drinking it, and she even gave a lot to several ladies in the court. This is what she developed."

Mr. He opened his mouth slightly, "You mean, she also made the donkey-hide gelatin?"

"Exactly."

Mr. He's impression of Wen Qingcheng has changed. Maybe she can be useful to the He family. However, he still can't accept a commoner woman as the prince's consort.

"You can let her stay in the He family, but you can't let her live here. There are hundreds of people in the He family. How can you stop these people from talking? Just spend some money and find her a house outside. You must not be confused about your lifelong affairs! Our He family was originally a merchant family. Because the business was getting bigger and bigger, we became imperial merchants and donated an official position. Your mother married into the Qin Palace, which is why you were born with a noble status. You don't want to join forces with the strong, but instead fall in love with a common girl. Isn't it a waste of your mother and I's hard work."

Mr. He knew very well that it was not easy for them to have the status they have today. It was the result of the efforts of two generations. In the Great Qi Dynasty, the classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans were clearly divided. Although they were wealthy, they were at the bottom of society. Now that they had become imperial merchants, he also donated an idle official position, and his daughter married the King of Qin, and the entire family class had also achieved a leap. If Mo Jinghong insisted on marrying a commoner, it would not help Mo Jinghong's career at all, and their He family would never allow it.

Mo Jinghong knew that he couldn't convince Master He at this moment. After he had made military achievements, he would ask His Majesty to grant him a marriage. Then, neither his grandfather nor his father, the King of Qin, would be able to object. If he argued with his grandfather at this moment, he would definitely investigate Wen Qingcheng's entire ancestry and go to Wen Qingcheng in private to question her.

Seeing that Mo Jinghong's eyes were deep and he didn't say anything, Master He thought that he had listened to his advice, so he softened his expression and said, "I asked you to come here today because there is something else. Please check it out."

Mo Jinghong nodded and waited for Master He to continue. Master He took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Mo Jinghong.

Mo Jinghong took the box and opened it in confusion. It was a box of water pills. He asked in confusion, "Grandfather, isn't this the water pill that our He's company hasn't put on the market yet?" Mo Jinghong put it under his nose and sniffed it, "It's the Buzhong Yiqi Pill."

"Yes, but it's not from our He family."

"This water pill is a new dosage form developed by Lu Qiuyu this year. Currently, this dosage form has not appeared in the entire Da Qi Dynasty. Most pills are honey pills. However, many people with diabetes cannot take honey pills. Water pills are made of powder and distilled water. Even patients with diabetes can take them with confidence. They disintegrate quickly and are easy to carry and store. Hong'er is thinking of keeping this dosage form from being put on the market, and wait until the end of the year as the finale to be used for the selection of products for Princess Anle to come to the Da Qi Dynasty."

Princess Anle is the eldest daughter of the current emperor and the elder sister of Mo Lianche. She married to the Beichen Kingdom as the queen a few years ago. Beichen Kingdom is located in an extremely cold place with a shortage of supplies. Princess Anle would select products from the Daqi Dynasty every year and purchase a large amount of medicines to ship over.

In previous years, the He family was the only one in the imperial merchant group, but this year, a Minghua Pharmaceutical Factory suddenly appeared. Mo Jinghong secretly investigated and found that the person behind Minghua Pharmaceutical Factory was the second prince, and the second prince and the third prince were allies. This Minghua Pharmaceutical Factory was probably a pawn of the third prince's party to suppress the He family. If the He family could not have an innovative drug selected this year, it would probably lose its qualification as an imperial merchant.

Mo Jinghong knew that this matter was of great importance, so he asked, "This medicine has been kept in the He family and has not been made public. Where did my grandfather get it from?"
