No matter how others guessed, it wouldn't connect to her. They all changed into the clothes that Mu Yunyao had prepared and swaggered into Yangzhou City along with the guards that Yue Wang had sent him. At this moment, Yangzhou City was bustling with noise and excitement. Because of Wu Min's birthday, the entire city seemed to have come to life. People carrying gifts on all the streets were in an uproar ...
Absolutely, there were even some people who were in an uproar because of the order in which they entered the palace.
When their names were announced, a long line had already formed in front of the residence. As they saw him swaggering in, many of the people who sent gifts muttered to themselves, "Who is this guy, he doesn't even have to line up?"
Very quickly, the servants who had entered the manor returned and greeted them respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Qi. Our Old Master invites you in." All of them nodded their heads proudly and walked into the Wu Residence proudly. The post that he had come with this time was specially prepared by King Yue. His identity came from the capital and was vaguely related to the people in the First Prince's estate, regardless of whether it was real or fake.
Once it was taken out, no one dared to underestimate it.
After they entered the residence, Wu Min personally went out to greet them.
In front of him, Wu Min appeared to be in her forties. Her face was pale and did not have a gentle aura. Her movements were graceful and one could not see her iron-blooded wrist which was rampant throughout the shopping mall.
"Greetings, Chief Wu." All of them bowed in unison, their actions very thorough. However, there was no hint of flattery or fawning on them. Instead, there was a trace of imperceptible arrogance in their tones.
Wu Min Zhizhi saw his expression and thought for a while."This must be Mister Qi. There's no need to be so courteous. Come in and have some tea." There had been many of these posts in the past, but all of the cards that the guest had sent were made of pure gold with bold and forceful words carved on them. With a glance, one could tell that they had come from the hands of many people, and what was even weirder was that they came from the hands of many people ...
The words on the surface of the book seemed very familiar to him. Only after thinking for a long time did he suddenly remember that he had seen these words back in the capital. At this time, the hall was already filled with people from all over the place. Each one of them was a tyrant from all over the place. If they were to add up all of them together, just a cough would make the entire Jiangnan tremble. Even though the merchants were at the end of their line, their influence was inseparable from the officials.
No one dared to underestimate their strength.
They looked around the hall in an extremely generous manner, and naturally greeted the crowd, "I have long heard that the Jiangnan Salt Merchant has an extraordinary demeanor, but seeing you today is indeed an eye-opener. I pay my respects to all of you gentlemen."
His attitude made everyone puzzled. Wu Min also went out to welcome him, so she did not dare to be careless. They all stood up and greeted him, "You're too courteous. May I know where you are from, sir?"
"The birth of the last few is ordinary, not worth mentioning." Qi Ming hurriedly shook his head."I came in a hurry today and didn't have the time to bring any precious gifts. I heard that Chief Wu loved flowers and had chanced upon a peony. Looking at it, it was quite rare. Peony? " Wu Min's hobbies were known by most of the salt merchants. Usually, the ones that would gift gifts were flowers and grass, but the ones that could truly move Wu Min were few in number.
What is there to admire about peonies?
However, Qi Ming didn't care about the gazes of everyone around him, directly clapping his hands for the servants to bring his gifts up.
The servant brought up a wooden chest that looked to be about half the height of a person. It was made of ordinary camphor wood, and it looked quite ordinary.
The surrounding people had strange expressions on their faces. They had seen many peony givers, but this was the first time they had seen a peony giver using a box. Some of them even let out a chuckle, causing the atmosphere in the hall to grow even weirder. Qi Ming did not mind at all, his smile was still the same: "The flower that I sent is not ordinary, it can find its own master, so it's better for you to personally bring it out. The flower has its spirit, if you can't get his approval, I can only endure the pain and bring it back, once more.
"To find the true flower lover."
Wu Min frowned. Today was his birthday, so he came in a hurry with a bowl of peonies. This person had made him personally bring out the flowers, as well as hinting that he wasn't the real flower lover. This made him feel disgusted.
"Mr. Qi, since you're the one who gave them to me, it should be you who carries them out." Hearing Wu Min's words, everyone frowned and raised their hands, gesturing for the manservant to lift the box, "Looks like my gift is not worthy of the eyes of Leader Wu. Since it's like this, I will not send you off. She even thought that she was a person who truly loved flowers, yet she actually chose the owner of a flower ...
I don't even know what's going on, hehe ... " As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Wu Min was stunned. The expression in her eyes changed for a moment before she got up and chased after him, "Mr Qi, please wait."
They stood at the same place, but the smile on their faces became a lot fainter."I wonder what advice Chief Wu has?"
"I don't dare to accept your advice. I was rude just now, I hope Mr. Qi doesn't mind. The person who came is a guest. If I let you leave like this, it would be because I, Wu Haoyu, didn't receive you properly!" He still hadn't figured out his identity. If he was allowed to leave like this, then there would be something bad happening in the future.
As the expression on their faces softened, a few more people came out from the hall and spoke with a smile, inviting them to return.
When all of them returned to the hall, their gazes were fixated on the box. They wanted to see what it meant to be the one to choose the owner. If the person in front of them was just bluffing, they would teach him a lesson.
"Please open the box and invite Peony out."
Wu Min nodded. She opened the box with some curiosity and discovered that there was a layer of black cloth covering the box. She could not help but secretly shake her head. He really knew how to bluff.
However, Qi Ming was extremely nervous. He repeatedly warned Wu Zhangkong from the side, "Boss Wu, be careful. Don't hurt Mu Danzhi's flower in any way." "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, I've been taking care of flowers and plants for so many years, this bit of discretion is still ..." Before Wu Min could finish her sentence, she froze on the spot. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the peony in front of her."This ..."
