A Two-Colored Flower Bloomed
He carefully lifted the peony that has half the height of a person onto the ground and gently removed the black silk cloth . Who knew that just as the silk cloth fell off, the peony within the flower pot shook for a moment before the flower bud slowly bloomed . Following that, a refreshing fragrance filled the air, which makes people feel refreshed .
“This… Could this be a flower demon?”
Many people in the crowd cried out in astonishment . They had seen many peonies before, but this was the first time they had seen such a strange sight . The large flowers unexpectedly bloomed slowly in an instant . The flowers are purple with sweet-scented . People can’t help but admire it at a glance!
Wu Minzhi was shocked . He didn’t believe Qi Ming’s words when he said that the flower had a spirit and could choose their own masters . But now that Wu Minzhi had seen them with his own eyes, he felt that all the precious flowers he had collected were ordinary things . How could they compare to the spirit energy of the peony in front of him?
“Mister Qi’s gift is too valuable . I am truly flattered . ”
However, Qi Ming shook his head directly . “Chief Wu, I’m really sorry . This flower didn’t acknowledge you as its master . It seems that there is still a destined person who hasn’t arrived, and I’m sorry that I’ve done so much to disturb you . ” As he spoke, he signaled the servant behind him to cover the peony and put it back in the box .
“Wait!” Wu Minzhi hurriedly stopped the boy in front of the peony flower . For people like him who love flowers like crazy, he finally got such a spiritual peony . It was even more exciting and happy than when he got married . At this time, if Qi Ming took away the peony in front of him, it would be like digging away his heart and liver . “Mister Qi, you can see that this flower blooms as soon as it sees me . Naturally, it proves that I am the one who destined for it . As you have just said, a famous flower has a spirit and can choose its own master . Doesn’t it prove that it recognizes me as its master?” Wu Minzhi appreciates the peony in front of him . The more he looks at it, the more he thinks it is spiritual and lovely . Even the leaves feel quite different from other peonies .
Qi Ming still shook his head, “Chief Wu, look here …”
“There’s still a flower bud?” Under the shade of peony leaves, there was a flower bud that had yet to bloom . Moreover, its color seemed to be different from the purple peony that was previously open . “This …”
“Do you understand, Boss Wu? Only when two flower buds bloom at the same time will you be able to prove that this peony has taken you as its master . However, this is truly strange . Why is there only one flower bud blooming? Logically, it shouldn’t be?” Qi Ming frowned and puzzled .
However, Wu Minzhi’s eyes shone brightly, “Please wait a moment, Mister Qi . I will immediately call my wife out . ”
“Huh?” Qi Ming was a little dumbfounded . People recognize Wu Minzhi for his love of flowers and plants, but he was even more famous for his love for his wife . Qi Ming heard that his wife was his distant cousin, but since she was young, her body was weak, and she has no way to give birth to children after marriage . However, Chief Wu still dotes on her and even doesn’t have a concubine room for her . Many people have sent beauties to Chief Wu . In the end, they had all returned in low spirits . Some of them had even angered him, making him feel rather unhappy .
Not long after that, they saw a delicate beauty that was supported by Wu Min . Her appearance was more refined than a flower, and her actions were as gentle as a willow leaf . They could not help but sigh: such a fragile beauty!
Wu Minzhi’s voice was low as he said, “Madam, this is the peony I’m talking about that it can choose its owner . Just as I stood in front of it, purple flowers were blooming . Let’s see . There was a flower bud left . Maybe it is related to my wife?”
Wu Minzhi’s wife greeted everyone with a voice as loud as a bird’s chirp, “Greeting to all the gentleman . ”
“Madam, you are too polite . ”
Wu Minzhi led his wife to the peony flower before bowing respectfully at the side, “Greetings, Madam . Please come up and have a look . ”
Wu Minzhi’s wife smiled and nodded . She stepped forward and gently brushed away the leaves . Just as she approached, the peony that was initially closed immediately bloomed . For a moment, it was an indispensable beauty .
Wu Minzhi’s wife looked surprised . “This …”
The surrounding people exclaimed, “One purple, one gold, both of them are the kings of flowers . They are simply a perfect match!”
“That’s right . It’s a two-color flower, and it blooms at this time of year . It’s truly amazing . ”
“The world is full of wonders . Today, I have truly gained experience . It turns out that flowers have intelligence as well …”
Wu Minzhi was overjoyed . “I knew this peony was here for you and me . Madam, please take care of your health and accompany me for a long time . ”
Qi Ming at the side congratulated him . “It turns out that the owner of this peony plant is a loving couple . It seems like Chief Wu and Madam are its destined people . ”
“Thank you, Mister Qi . This gift is too expensive . Please take a seat . ”
No one in the hall dared to look down on Qi Ming anymore . He won the gratitude of Chief Wu, and his future is bound to be limitless . Not to mention that he had come from a mysterious background and even had obtained such a precious peony . In a few days, a new generation of salt merchants legend will emerge in Jiangnan .
In Jin Xiu Garden, Mu Yunyao dipped her finger in water and lightly flicked the peony’s petals . The peony unexpectedly bloomed in a flash, causing Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to cry out in alarm, “Miss, how did you do it? It’s really amazing!”
“It’s nothing but adding a little powder . I’ve seen someone who can change the color of the whole peony with just a little bit of water . That’s truly rare!”
Mu Yunyao placed the cup by her side and turned around to look at the dying Snow Fox in the cage . She took some dried meat from the side and passed it over, “Have you made up your mind? Do you want to follow me or starve to death?”
The Snow Fox lifelessly raised its head . Its current fur was dull and lifeless, and its pair of slightly red eyes did not recover the spirit it previously had . Smelling the aroma of dried meat, it involuntarily raised its head to look at Mu Yunyao’s hand . “Wu …”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed with a smile . She opened the cage and took out the Snow Fox, stroking the fur on its back . “This place is no longer Western Guangdong . Even if I release you, you won’t be able to survive here . If you follow me, I will entertain you with delicious food . ” The Snow Fox couldn’t understand Mu Yunyao’s words, but it was acutely aware of the trace of killing intent in her words . If the Sow Fox doesn’t let her wish come true, she will end its life on the spot . It couldn’t help but tremble and hesitantly turned its body over, revealing its furry belly, allowing Mu Yunyao to stroke its soft belly .
Steward Qin walked in . When he saw this scene, he could not help but exclaim in admiration, “The Snow Fox had tamed!” The belly was Snow Fox’s weakness . If it is not tamed, it will not dare to expose its belly . The smile in Mu Yunyao’s eyes widened . She reached out, tore a small piece of dried meat, and placed it next to the Snow Fox’s mouth . “The dried meat is too hard, so you should eat less . I’ll cook something delicious for you later . ”
