When contacting Wu Minzhi this time, Mu Yunyao decided to let Qi Ming come forward. After all, she made too much noise in Jingling City, and rashly intervening in the salt administration would easily arouse the defense of others, while Qi Ming was a face, and he was going to The Yibaoxuan is about to open, and it is still playing the right name with Niyunfang.
No matter what other people guess, they won't get in touch with her. Qi Ming changed into the clothes Mu Yunyao had prepared, and took the guards that King Yue sent him, and swaggered directly into Yangzhou City. At this time, the city of Yangzhou was very lively. Because of the birthday of one of Wu Min, it seemed that the entire city of Yangzhou had come to life, and people carrying gifts on the streets were endless.
Absolutely, some people even made trouble because of the order in which they entered the palace.
When Qi Ming arrived, there was already a long queue in front of the entire Wu Mansion. Seeing him swaggering inward, many gift-givers murmured in secret: What is this person's identity, and there is no need to line up
The people who can appear here are not stupid, and no one hastily asked aloud, but took advantage of the time when the servants entered the house to report, and went forward to exchange famous posts. Actions and eyes are full of arrogance, making people even more afraid to underestimate.
Soon, the servants who entered the manor to report came back and saluted Qi Ming respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Qi, our master invites you to enter the mansion." Qi Ming nodded proudly, and glanced proudly at the people around him who gave gifts. , walked slowly into the Wu Mansion. The post he was holding this time was specially prepared by King Yue. His identity was from Kyoto, and he was vaguely involved with the people in the First Prince’s residence. Whether it was true or false, at least this identity
When you take it out, you won't be able to underestimate it.
After Qi Ming entered the mansion, Wu Minzhi came out to greet him in person.
Wu Minzhi in front of him looked to be in his forties, his face was white and he didn't need a gentle breath, and he acted elegantly in his demeanor.
"I've seen Chief Wu." Qi Ming bowed and saluted, his movements were very thoughtful, but his tone was not flattering or flattering at all, instead, there was a hint of arrogance that was not easily discernible.
Wu Minzhi saw his look in his eyes, and he thought a little more in his heart: "This is Mr. Qi, you don't need to be so polite, come to the palace to watch and drink tea." This Qi Ming was at his birthday banquet. Before the opening, a famous post was suddenly sent. There were many such posts in previous years, but the homage posts sent by this same name were all made of red gold, and the handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful. Even more strange is that the
The handwriting on his face seemed to be familiar to him, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that he had seen the handwriting when he was in Kyoto. At this time, the hall was already full of salt merchants from all over the world. Each of these people was a tyrant from each place. If they were added together, a cough would make the entire Jiangnan tremble. Although the merchants are currently at the bottom, the influence of these people is already inseparable from the officialdom.
No one dared to underestimate their power.
Qi Ming walked into the hall, but there was no shyness on his face, he looked around the hall very generously for a week, and greeted everyone in a natural manner: "I have heard that Jiangnan salt merchants have extraordinary demeanor, and seeing it today is really eye-opening. , I have met all of you gentlemen."
His attitude made everyone puzzled, and Wu Minzhi went out to greet him in person, so he didn't dare to ask for it.
"Wei Mo people, born ordinary, not worth mentioning." Qi Ming shook his head quickly, "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't have time to bring any precious gifts. I heard that Leader Wu loves flowers and plants, and accidentally got a peony, which looks very strange. , I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and wished the leader of Wu wealth and safety." "Peony?" These salt merchants at the scene all know Wu Minzhi's hobbies, and the most gifts given on weekdays are also flowers and plants, which may make Wu Minzhi real Very few are tempted. Hearing that what he brought up was peony, and thinking about the current season, I was already a little disappointed. This
What can be admired about the peonies of the time
Qi Ming didn't pay attention to the various sights around him, and clapped his hands to let the servants carry his gift up.
What the next person lifted up was a wooden box, which looked more than half the height of a person. It was made of ordinary camphor wood, and it looked ordinary.
The expressions of the people around became more and more strange. I had seen many people who gave peonies, but this was the first time they had seen peonies in boxes. Some people even let out a chuckle, which made the atmosphere in the hall even more strange. Qi Ming didn't care, but the smile on his face was still the same: "The flowers I sent are not ordinary, they can find their own owners, so you should come and bring them out, the famous flower, if it is the leader Wu. If I can't get his approval, I can only reluctantly take it back.
To find a true flower lover. "
Wu Minzhi frowned. Today was his birthday, and he came in a hurry. The only thing he brought was a pot of peonies, which made him feel unhappy. Now, this person also asked him to bring out the flowers himself, and he also implied in his words. He is not a true flower lover, which made him feel disgusted directly in his heart.
"Mr. Qi, since you gave me a gift, then you should bring out the flowers." Hearing Wu Minzhi's words, Qi Ming frowned, and even raised his hand to signal the servant to lift the box: "It seems that I will give it to me. The gift did not enter the eyes of the leader of Wu. Since it is not given, I take the liberty to interrupt and say goodbye. I thought it was a real flower lover, but it was even a matter of choosing the owner of a famous flower.
I don't even know what's going on, hehe..." He turned around and walked towards the door.
Wu Minzhi was stunned for a moment, the expression in his eyes changed for a moment, and he got up and chased after him: "Mr. Qi stay."
Qi Ming stood on his heels, but the smile on his face was much lighter: "I don't know if Chief Wu has any advice?"
"I don't dare to give advice. I was rude just now. Please don't mind Mr. Qi. The visitor is a guest. If you let you leave like this, it would be because someone from me, Wu, was not well entertained!" , If you let him leave like this, it will be bad if there are branches in the future.
Qi Ming's expression eased, and a few more people chased out of the hall, and they all said with a smile, asking Qi Ming to go back.
When Qi Ming returned to the hall again, everyone's eyes fell directly on the box. They wanted to see what it means to choose the master of famous flowers. If the person in front of him was just bluffing, they would definitely let him teach him a lesson.
"Leader Wu please open the box and invite Peony out."
Wu Minzhi nodded, opened the box with a little curiosity, and found that the box was still covered with a layer of black silk.
Qi Ming looked extremely nervous, and repeatedly urged on one side: "Leader Wu must be careful, and don't hurt the herbal medicine." "Mr. Qi, don't worry, I have taken care of the flowers and plants for many years, and this is still..." Wu Minzhi said halfway , suddenly froze in place, staring at the peony in disbelief, "This..."
