Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

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 guards of others. Yibaoxuan is about to open, and it is still in the name of being against Niyunfang. No matter how others guess, they will not contact her.

Qi Ming put on the clothes that Mu Yunyao had prepared, took the guards sent to him by King Yue, and strutted directly into Yangzhou City. At this time, the city of Yangzhou was extremely lively, because Wu Min's personal birthday seemed to bring the whole city of Yangzhou to life. There was an endless stream of people carrying gifts on the streets, and some people even made a fuss because of the order in which they entered the mansion. .

When Qi Ming arrived, there was already a long queue in front of the entire Wu Mansion. Seeing him swaggering in, many gift givers murmured to themselves: What is the identity of this person, so he doesn't have to queue?

The people who can appear here are not stupid, and no one hastily asked questions, but took advantage of the gap between the servants entering the mansion, and exchanged name cards. Actions and eyes are full of arrogance, which makes people dare not underestimate him even more.

Soon, the servants who entered the mansion to report rushed back and saluted Qi Ming respectfully: "I have met Master Qi, our master invites you to enter the mansion."

Qi Ming nodded proudly, looked proudly at the gift-givers around him, and walked slowly into the Wu residence. The post he held in his hand this time was specially prepared by King Yue. His identity came from the capital, and he was vaguely involved with the people in the First Prince's mansion. People dare not underestimate it.

After Qiming entered the mansion, Wu Minzhi came out to greet him in person.

Wu Minzhi in front of him looked to be in his forties, with a pale face and gentle aura, and his movements were elegant, and he could not see his iron-blooded wrists in the mall at all.

"I've met Chief Wu." Qi Ming bowed and saluted, his movements were very thoughtful, but his tone was not flattering or flattering at all, but with a hint of arrogance that was not easy to detect.

Wu Minzhi saw his expression in his eyes, and thought a little more in his heart: "This is Mr. Qi, there is no need to be so polite, hurry up and sit in the mansion for tea."

This Qiming sent a name card suddenly before the opening of his birthday banquet. There were many such invitations in previous years, but the greeting cards sent by this Qiming were all made of red gold. It seemed that it was written by everyone, and what was even more strange was that the handwriting on it seemed familiar to him. 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 rich salt merchants from all over the world. Each of these people was a powerful person from a different place. If they were added together, a cough would make the whole of Jiangnan tremble. Although merchants are at the bottom of the ranks right now, the influence of these people is inseparable from the officialdom, and no one dares to underestimate their power.

After Qi Ming walked into the hall, there was no timidity on his face, he looked around the hall very generously, and saluted everyone in a natural way: "I have heard that the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have an extraordinary demeanor, and seeing it today is really an eye-opener." , Qiming has seen you gentlemen."

On the contrary, his attitude made everyone puzzled, and Wu Minzhi went out to greet him in person, so he didn't dare to hold him back at all, and they all stood up to salute: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I wonder where this gentleman is from?"

"A humble person with an ordinary birth is 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 Chief Wu loves flowers and plants, and I got a peony by chance. It looks very strange. , I borrowed flowers to present Buddha, wishing the chieftain of Wu wealth and safety."

"Peony?" The salt merchants present more or less knew Wu Minzhi's hobbies, and the most common gifts on weekdays were flowers and plants, but Wu Minzhi's real heart was rarely touched by him. It's peony, and thinking about the current season, I'm already a little disappointed. What can we appreciate about peony at this time?

Qi Ming didn't care about the sights from all around him, and clapped his hands directly for the servants to carry his gift up.

What the servants brought up was a wooden box, which looked about 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 peonies, but this was the first time I saw peonies in a box. Someone even let out a chuckle, which made the atmosphere in the hall even more strange.

Qi Ming didn't care about it at all, and the smile on his face remained the same: "The flower I sent up is not ordinary, it can find its owner by itself, so you should bring it out yourself, Chief Wu, a famous flower has a spirit, if Chief Wu If I can't get his approval, I can only bear the pain and take it back, and then go to find the real flower lover."

Wu Minzhi frowned, today is his birthday, Qi Ming came here in a hurry, and what he gave was only a pot of peonies, which already made him feel unhappy. Right now, this person asked him to bring out the flowers himself, hinting in his words He is not a real lover of flowers, which makes him feel disgusted directly in his heart.

"Mr. Qi, since you are the one who gave me the gift, you should bring out the flowers."

Hearing what Wu Minzhi said, Qi Ming frowned, and even raised his hand to signal the boy to lift up the box: "It seems that the gift I gave didn't catch the eyes of Chief Wu, so it's fine if I don't give it away, I took the liberty to bother you. Farewell. I thought I was a real flower lover, but I didn’t even know about the choice of the owner of the famous flower, haha..." As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the door.

Wu Minzhi was stunned for a moment, the look in his eyes changed for a moment, and he got up and chased after him: "Mr. Qi, stop."

Qi Ming stood firm, but the smile on his face faded a lot: "I don't know if Chief Wu has any advice for you?"

"I don't dare to teach you. I was rude just now. Please don't mind, Mr. Qi. You are a guest. If you are allowed to leave like this, it is because I, Wu, have not treated you well!" His identity has not yet been found out. , if he was allowed to leave like this, it would be bad if there were branches in the future.

Qi Ming's expression eased, and several people chased out from the hall, all smiling and asking Qi Ming to go back.

When Qi Ming returned to the hall again, everyone's eyes fell directly on the box. They want to see what it means to choose a master from a famous flower. If the person in front of them is just bluffing, they must teach him a lesson.

"Leader Wu please open the box and invite Peony out."

Wu Minzhi nodded, opened the box with some curiosity, and found that the box was still covered with a layer of black silk cloth, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly in his heart, it was really a bluff.

Qi Ming, however, seemed extremely nervous, and repeatedly warned from the side: "Chief Wu, be careful, and don't hurt the Mu Dan spirit flower."

"Mr. Qi, don't worry, I've taken care of flowers and plants for many years, this point of propriety is still..." Wu Minzhi froze in the middle of his words, staring at the peony in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, "This..."
