Liu Xiaonian was accustomed to such scenes. She was originally a second wife, and their children were not her biological children or grandchildren. What was so strange about it?
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a middle-aged man about the same age as Liu Xiaonian sitting at the bottom seat, and the man sitting at the main seat was probably Mr. Qian. The two of them had some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes.
"Master, look what I brought you! This is five hundred-year-old wild ginseng!"
As soon as Liu Xiaonian finished speaking, the middle-aged man sneered.
"Five hundred years? Hahaha! Stop joking!"
Obviously, he didn't believe her.
"Xiao Nian, don't mess around. I'm discussing serious matters with Wu'er."
Qian Guiwu is the eldest son of Mr. Qian, who lives in Kyoto. He has returned to celebrate his old father's birthday and brought with him many interesting things used by the nobles in Kyoto. He talked excitedly and looked at Liu Xiaonian with disdain.
"Master, this is truly five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng! Look, I've even invited the owner of the Treasure Pavilion to come here for you. Why don't you believe me?"
"Treasure Pavilion?"
"Yes, you're not unaware of the effectiveness of this Treasure Pavilion mask." Liu Xiaonian stamped her feet and acted coquettishly, not caring about anything else. She had to leave a good impression in front of Master Qian. This ginseng, even if it was fake, had to be real!
"Is this Mr. Wang?"
Unlike Liu Xiaonian, Mr. Qian had heard gossip about Prince Dingyuan.
How could he not have any spies in the city? He quickly invited Wang Yi to take a seat.
"Oh, Mr. Wang, I've heard that you have superb medical skills, but I've never been able to meet you in person. I hope you'll forgive me for not coming to meet you today!"
Mr. Qian's attitude was very sincere, and it was obvious that he knew all the gossip about her. Wang Yi felt a little regretful, as she thought Liu Xiaonian could be the one in charge.
"Master Qian, that's not what you said."
"Dad, who is this?" Qian Guiwu stared at Wang Yi for a while, but he couldn't connect it with his impression of the face of the noble lady in the city. Seeing his father's enthusiasm, he thought it was the city lord's wife.
"Wu'er, come and greet me. This is the owner of the Treasure Pavilion."
Although Qian Guiwu didn't want to, he still saluted Wang Yi under his father's gaze.
"Where is the 500-year-old ginseng that Shopkeeper Wang mentioned?" Mr. Qian looked distressed. It seemed that he had to believe it today. How could he find a chance to refuse? 500-year-old wild ginseng, if it didn't cost him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, was definitely not something he could get rid of!
"Please take a look. I hope Mr. Qian can find someone who can understand it to take a look, otherwise, he will think I am a liar." Wang Yi was already a little impatient, but he still planned to stay a little longer for the sake of the money.
"How could that be? Shopkeeper Wang's Treasure Pavilion was already revealed to the whole city yesterday, so I, Old Qian, naturally believe it, hehe." He and King Dingyuan looked at the family tree and found that they were all from the same family. But as he said this, he was obviously not very interested.
"Humph, you're bragging without thinking. Dad, I recently saw a 500-year-old wild ginseng in Kyoto. It was incredibly fresh and alive. It was a tribute from Prince Dingyuan to His Majesty. I heard it was still covered in mud."
After Qian Guiwu finished speaking, Mr. Qian's eyes widened and he stared at Qian Guiwu.
Was it given to His Majesty by Prince Dingyuan?
If the source of this ginseng was King Dingyuan, what would he worry about?
Not to mention hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he would buy it even for millions of taels!
Without waiting for Qian Guiwu to finish his words, Mr. Qian immediately took the basket and covered it nervously.
"Shopkeeper Wang, is this ginseng real? Did the prince let you sell it?"
Wang Yi smiled, knowing that he believed it, and also knowing that Zheng Yeheng was the one who was careless.
Even better, as my man, isn't it only natural for you to take some blame for me?
"Of course. Moreover, the tribute that the master mentioned is indeed from the same place as this ginseng. This ginseng source is in my hands."
"What?" Qian Guiwu looked up in surprise. Before he could ask the next question, Master Qian said anxiously:
"Then, Shopkeeper Wang, how much do you want for the sale?"
Mr. Qian quietly opened the basket again to take a look. The ginseng roots were intact and the whole plant was bright. It was indeed a top-quality ginseng. Naturally, this was not his first time to identify ginseng, so he immediately fell in love with the ginseng.
Once they left the royal family, they lost many rare items.
If this ginseng comes from the same source as the one sent to the royal family, then the previous royal treatment will be restored, and he values this more.
Wang Yi thought about it and stretched out a finger.
She thought, one hundred thousand taels of silver should be enough, right?
If it’s any less, she won’t be able to sell her hundred-year-old ginseng, and she always asks for three thousand taels of silver.
A five-hundred-year-old piece of wine, worth one hundred thousand taels, is not considered high.
Who would have thought that Master Qian would suddenly slam the table and stand up: "One million taels? Deal! As long as Shopkeeper Wang certifies in the name of the prince that this ginseng is genuine!"
One million?
How come it suddenly increased tenfold?
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and Mr. Qian thought that Wang Yi was unwilling.
"You don't want 10 million taels, do you? Although 500-year-old ginseng is indeed rare, 10 million taels is too high. It's impossible to sell it at this price. Just look at how much we are worth..."
"Master Qian misunderstood. I was just thinking about something else. One million taels is one million taels. I just want silver, not banknotes."
Silver is still very valuable in this world, and it is even more valuable now that there is chaos and war.
What does one million taels mean?
Wang Yi can now support Zheng Yeheng's 100,000-strong army.
As for silver, Mr. Qian's family is in the money business, so how could they not have it?
"make a deal!"
Mr. Qian slammed the table excitedly.
It was worth spending one million taels of silver to buy this wild ginseng.
