The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 257 The Secret Talk Between the Owner and the Manager

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the De Ling Xiangfang began to be lively again.The masters and apprentices who went home for the holidays returned one after another, went back to their own rooms to wash and tidy up, and prepared to continue working hard tomorrow.

In terms of architectural pattern, Deling Xiangfang is similar to ordinary workshops, and it is also the structure of the former workshop and the rear housing, but the houses are more and larger.

At the moment when almost everyone returned to the accommodation area in the backyard to wash up, the lights in a certain courtyard in the front yard were still brightly lit, and subtle human voices could be heard from time to time.

This is the council room of Deng Cangyun, the owner of Deling Xiangfang.

In the room, there were only two people sitting opposite each other across the table.Judging from the half-warm tea on the table, the conversation between the two has been going on for quite some time, but the end is still not expected.

"Fangzhu, you see, is what I said reasonable?"

Hong Yuejiao sighed, picked up the half-drinked cup of fragrant tea, and took a sip.Her movements have always been elegant and generous, even though she is no longer young and her beauty is haggard, she still looks pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that Deng Cangyun, who was sitting across from her, didn't have the heart to appreciate her elegant posture, and was bowing his head in deep thought, with hesitation in his eyes from time to time.

Hong Yuejiao was not in a hurry to urge him, she put down the teacup casually, half-lidded her eyes, and quietly waited for his answer.

In terms of age, she is older than Deng Cangyun.She also entered the industry earlier than Deng Cangyun, and even obtained the qualification of perfumer earlier than Deng Cangyun.

But everyone has their own talents and circumstances.Although Deng Cangyun is much younger than her, he is already the owner of the official incense shop, and may be able to reach a higher level in the future.

However, as for her, the pinnacle of her life's achievements is probably the position of chief executive of this De Ling Xiangfang.After all, at her age of being a grandmother, the possibility of climbing up...is really too young.She knows her own family affairs, so she really doesn't need to work hard on it, she should be her manager safely and securely, and just earn enough money to support her pension.

Therefore, in Hong Yuejiao's eyes, money is the most important thing.

"We have nothing to do with Jiang's affairs."

It took a long time before Deng Cangyun gave a reply, which was what Hong Yuejiao wanted to hear.

She quickly broke into a smile, and said repeatedly: "That's not true! Although we are an official incense shop, everyone will give us a bit of face if we say it, but the operation of the private incense shop... It is difficult for us to intervene."

"Let them go like this, let's just do our job well. Fangzhu, have you heard? The concubine Jiang seems to have contacts with the female officials of the Xiangyao Bureau in the capital..."

"Oh?" Deng Cangyun was quite interested in this.He was tired of staying in a small place like Deling, and wanted to change places quickly, to be precise, he wanted to be promoted as soon as possible and go to various prefectures.It doesn't matter if there is no space in Yujiang Xiangfang, there are government-level incense shops in other places... Should I visit Jiang Concubine?

Seeing Deng Cangyun's reaction, Hong Yuejiao knew that she had persuaded this doughty old man, so she couldn't help showing a somewhat smug smile.

The purpose of her secret meeting with Deng Cangyun today is to prevent Deng Cangyun from managing the Jiang family's acquisition of all folk incense houses in Deling County.

Although the folk incense workshops and incense shops belong to their owners, if they are merged by one dominant company, it will definitely have an impact on the local incense and medicine industry.It is also the responsibility of the official fragrance workshop to manage the operation of the local fragrance medicine industry and maintain the peace and prosperity of the fragrance medicine industry.

The Jiang family knew that there were quite a few small workshops and small incense shops that they might not want to be acquired by themselves—because many of them were family heirlooms. The family is not going to pay a big price...

At that time, these small workshops will unite and ask the official incense workshop for help to make trouble, and the official incense workshop may also intervene.The Jiang family can ignore those small businessmen who talk lightly, but they can't completely ignore the people in the official Xiangfang.

In order to take precautions, the Jiang family needs to "communicate" with Deng Cangyun, Hong Yuejiao and other big bosses who are in charge.

Hong Yuejiao is easy to deal with, Jiang's family has already planted a mole in Deling Xiangfang, and she is her right-hand man Gao Dongshan.Gao Dongshan knew very well that Hong Yuejiao was an old woman who loved money as much as her life, so the Jiang family simply offered a high price of 1000 taels of silver, first asking Gao Dongshan to bring Hong Yuejiao half of the silver note.

After receiving 500 taels of silver as a favor, can Hong Yuejiao try her best to speak for the Jiang family?

What Hong Yuejiao wanted was gold and silver, but what Deng Cangyun valued was her own future.The Jiang family used Concubine Jiang's relationship with the Xiangyao Bureau to seduce him. As for whether it will work or not... just wait!
Concubine Jiang didn't intend to waste her favor for a small shop owner in a place.When the Jiang family finishes their work, what will happen to Deng Cangyun's soft temper?He is also afraid of trouble, so he coaxed him with good words and passed.At worst, give him a small sum of money to shut his mouth!

The Jiang family even has a back trick.That's the matter of Gao Dongshan and Feng Xiang getting high-grade Huoxiang from Deling Xiangfang and filling them with inferior products... If Deng Cangyun doesn't know the truth and insists on helping those small businessmen get ahead, the Jiang family plans to make this matter I made it clear to him.

The tribute you sent to the capital from De Ling Xiang Fang is mixed with inferior products!
Once the matter is exposed, Deng Cangyun will be the first to be unlucky.At that time, Deng Cangyun must have been too busy to take care of himself, and still have the mind to meddle in his own business?
From the very beginning, the Jiang family had this kind of thinking before they came into contact with Gao Dongshan... Be it Deng Cangyun, Hong Yuejiao, or Gao Dongshan, they were all counted by the Jiang family.

It has to be said that the Jiang family is really talented in plotting tricks, and the concubine Jiang, who is far away in the capital, is indispensable for pointing Jiangshan.

Silver is really a good thing.

Hong Yuejiao went back to her room, and took out the 500 taels from the dressing box to look at it for a few more times, feeling very proud.

Gao Dongshan said, this is just the beginning.If the Jiang family really wants to create a new situation in De Ling Xiangye, and even maintain it, they absolutely cannot do without the support of their official Xiangfang.When the time comes, isn't filial piety like flowing water?
Imagining the scene of banknotes continuously flowing into her private pocket, Hong Yuejiao felt in a good mood, as if she was a few years younger.

Usually at this time, she would find someone to chat and gossip with, sometimes with her fat cousin, and sometimes with Gao Dongshan.At her position, she has to be cautious in her words and deeds in the incense shop, so she doesn't want to chat with others.

But today Gao Dongshan went home like everyone else... well, he's coming tomorrow, let's talk to him about the Jiang family's next plan.I also have a bottom line in my heart.

but……

The next day, Gao Dongshan did not return to Deling Xiangfang.

In the evening of that day, his already stiff body was discovered by the city patrol officers.

Gao Dongshan is dead!
