Although the situation of optimizing agriculture and suppressing commerce in the late Han Dynasty changed, many warlords could make friends with wealthy businessmen for their own development. For example, Tao Qian had previously worshipped Mi Zhu as a separate master, and Liu Bei's startled with the help of two big merchants, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. There are many examples like this. However, overall, the status of merchants is still relatively low. Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, but he is still flattered to be welcomed by someone like Pei Qing.

The reason why Pei Qing went out to greet Mi Zhu in person was of course not just to move Mi Zhu, but mainly because Pei Qing really likes Mi Zhu. His subordinates lacked such business talents. Now Mi Zhu comes to invest, which is really equivalent to someone giving steamed buns when he is hungry, and someone giving pillows when he is sleepy. In the future, this is an indispensable figure.

Of course, Pei Qing also greeted Tao Qian a few words, but Tao Qian looked ashamed and didn't want to stay for a long time. Even Pei Qing found reasons to refuse the banquet held by them.

At this time, Mi Zi, the sister who came to greet Mi Zhu, saw Gan in the crowd. She was surprised and asked Mi Zi: "Brother, who is this little lady? Could it be your new concubine?"

Mi Zhu immediately said embarrassedly: "My sister is joking. Why are you still taking a concubine for me because I am a person of this age? This is Miss Gan, the niece of Mr. Tao."

When Mi heard this, she smiled and said, "I have heard that Mr. Tao has a niece who looks like a flower and is gentle and virtuous. When I saw it today, I am indeed well-known. My name is Mi Zhen. I am 17 years old this year. I don't know your age and name, Miss?"

When Gan heard this, he quickly said humbly: "My name is Gan Mei. I am 18 years old this year. I have heard that Mr. Mi has a sister. Although she is a woman, she is good at managing the family and is not inferior to her brother in business. She is also a great comfort to her life when she sees her today."

"So you are one year older than me. Since that's the case, I will call you sister from now on. I don't know what plans are for me in the future?" Mi Zhen quickly took Gan Mei's hand and asked intimately.

Gan Mei smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I am now a chaotic world. What else can I plan? Take one step at a time."

After hearing this, Mi Zhen said, "Sister, I have an idea, I don't know if it will be successful? I heard that female officials are recruiting now in the Princess' Mansion. Although these female officials are only responsible for maintaining the daily operation of the Princess' Mansion, this is also something to do for us. It is much better than being confused and having no future, right?"

Because Liu Ning's princess was the eldest princess of Kaifu, this is equivalent to those princes with actual power at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty. They had very strong power. Although Liu Ning handed over the army of Kaiyang to Pei Qing for unified management, because she was in Chang'an, she only recommended a prime minister of Kaiyang to manage the national affairs on her behalf, so what she really had to do was just food, clothing, rent and tax. Kaiyang's prime minister and ordinary prime ministers had no big difference in status, but there was only one difference. First, regardless of military affairs, and second, she had to be responsible for the princess's mansion. Liu Ning would regularly and irregularly send some officials to supervise and assess the administration there to ensure that the people there could live a relatively stable life and not be exploited by corrupt officials.

These officials are usually appointed by Liu Ning himself. In order to avoid someone controlling the place for a long time and blinding his audio-visual, the term of office of some officials under Liu Ning is generally not too long. There is one thing that Liu Ning trusts women more. She has heard stories about Ban Jieyu and Ban Ji and others before. Since she met such a strange woman as Cai Zhaoji, Liu Ning believes more that there are many talented women among women. After the incidents of Dong Bai and Yuqi, Liu Ning even understood one thing that as long as Pei Qing's fairy medicine is there, it doesn't matter even if you don't have the ability. As a woman, the first thing is naturally to have good character. As long as Pei Qing's fairy medicine is there, as long as Pei Qing's fairy medicine is there, the cultivation of ability is not a matter of one word?

Although Liu Ning didn't know how many magic medicines Pei Qing had? He didn't know how Pei Qing's magic came from, and he didn't know the specific operation of "taking" the magic medicine, but he believed that Pei Qing must have such magic medicine in his hands.

In fact, Liu Ning is Pei Qing's pillow after all. If she really learns the method of taking elixirs to others, she may not be able to learn it. Even if she wants to ask directly, Pei Qing will not agree. However, Liu Ning did not do so. On the one hand, everyone has their own secrets. Although he is his wife, he cannot disrespect the other party's secrets. On the other hand, although Liu Ning is the eldest princess who holds great power, he does not forget his identity as a wife, and keeps his duty as a wife, and never surpasses a step. Even if recruiting talents to restrict the prime minister, it is carried out with the support of Pei Qing, and she will give her husband the greatest respect at any time.

After hearing Mi Zhen's words, Gan Mei's expression suddenly changed, then shook her head and said, "What kind of virtue do I have? How dare I be the female official in the Princess' Mansion? My sister is a decisive person, which is more suitable, but I'll forget it..."

"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. My sister's talent is something I have heard of. She has both good character and good looks, both talent and good looks, and is virtuous. In short, you have all the excellent qualities of a good wife and mother. I believe that the eldest princess will fall in love with you when she sees you. Maybe she will be trusted in the future. No, we can't say it, but we must say it will. Well, that's it. Two days later will be the day when the princess's mansion opens to select female officials. Then we will go together and see you."

Mi Zhen pulled Gan Mei and said a lot of words. The two of them hit it off and quickly established friendship, but they didn't know that their friendship was actually destined. However, as Pei Qing came to this era, the trajectory of their fate quietly changed. In their original fate, they would meet a man named Liu Bei a year or two, and become the man's wife and concubine, and then suffer from the pain of wandering, and were often abandoned or captured after defeat. They were terrified and thrilled all year round. In the end, Mrs. Gan died of illness when Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, and Mrs. Mi had no news and was unknown. She didn't even know when she died, let alone why she died.

Only in the Romance of the Romance, the image of Mrs. Mi was deeply portrayed. In the Changbanpo battle, Mrs. Mi refused to ride Zhao Yun's war horse in order to avoid implicating Zhao Yun. Later, in order to avoid being humiliated, she jumped into a well and committed suicide.
