Chapter 37 The Art of Gift Giving

After some words, Deng Jian was speechless and had to give up.

After hearing Xiao Zicheng's words, the concubine's final concern was dispelled and she immediately smiled happily.

She is a person who loves fragrance. This essential oil is so magical that she naturally loves it.

These essential oils were refined by Xiao Zicheng himself, and they have nothing to do with spending too much, and the emperor would not be suspicious. It would be better.

Seeing that his mother was happy, the King of Han reached out and patted Xiao Zicheng on the shoulder, without hesitation for praise:

"Brother Cheng is intent. Although I don't know how to smell it, since I can only refine such a small bottle of essential oil with a hundred kilograms of petals, the hard work in it is not worth telling outsiders."

Xiao Zicheng glanced at the back hall and saw many people dressed in maids stretching their necks to eavesdrop, and was overjoyed.

These maids were brought by the families of officials attending the banquet. Judging from the attitude, they must be very curious about essential oils, so they asked the maid to come and take a look.

The biggest goal tonight has been achieved, and a hint of pride has risen on Xiao Zicheng's face.

Deng Jian was so angry that he was itchy!

This incident was a big deal. It would be fine if the pearl worth hundreds of thousands of taels of time failed to please the concubine, but she even gave her a sin.

In the end, Xiao Zicheng got the advantage...

Xiao Zicheng had no time to pay attention to others now, and he was all concerned about the concubine, and handed the wooden box directly to the servant.

For fear that others won't hear it, shouted loudly:

"The King of the Han Dynasty was a model for his younger generation. However, his father was honest and could not bring out any rare treasures, but he was eager to worship the concubine.

It’s better to do this. Starting today, the youngest will have all the essential oils needed by the concubine. Please don’t refuse.”

The concubine likes fragrance. As we all know, Xiao Zicheng’s gift was really just right.

And... I can also hear that Xiao Zicheng gave me where essential oils, it is clearly what I gave me for humanity and worldly affairs...

Although the Han Palace declined due to the death of the old King of Han, the holy family increased instead of decreasing, and the foundation was deep.

Even the concubine praised this essential oil, which shows its lethality to ordinary officials.

Which woman can refuse anti-aging products? The price will definitely rise higher by then.

The box of essential oils given by Xiao Zicheng alone has been enough for the concubine to use for a long time.

Even if the concubine loves fragrance, she will never use this essential oil to take a bath, right? The rest can be discounted directly.

Deng Jian gritted his teeth secretly, "How come this damn Xiao Zicheng suddenly became so smart..."

Of course, giving gifts is just the first step. While the concubine was overjoyed, Xiao Zicheng hurriedly took the second step:

"There are not much left in this batch of essential oils. If you are interested, you can come to our house to participate in the auction. Those with higher prices will be absolutely open and transparent."

Although everyone was very curious about essential oils, their interest suddenly dropped when they heard that those with higher prices were getting.

Xiao Zicheng seemed to be holding the wise bead, and he didn't care about the reactions of everyone present. Xiao Tao should have completed the task he assigned, and that was his trump card.

Deng Jian and Li You looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. They wanted to use rumors to make Xiao Zicheng get into evil with the Han Palace.

As a result, the development of the matter was beyond the expectations of the two. First, they learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been involved in the barren mountains and could not attack for the time being.

After Xiao Zicheng's words, he successfully made the gifts they prepared carefully become their own death talismans. In the end, he entered the treasury for nothing and ended up being frivolous.

That damn Xiao Zicheng actually opened up a business in the Han Palace. But the concubine got the benefits, how could she blame him?

Deng Jian became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and immediately called the servant to leave and threw his sleeves away.

Although Xiao Zicheng almost made the Han Palace uneasy, everything was back to normal and the banquet began normally.

Under the congratulations of the ministers in the court, the concubine couldn't stop smiling. Many court officials who wanted to curry favor with the King of Han also stood up to toast.

Xiao Zicheng never liked this kind of occasion. He grabbed a handful of dried fruit from the table and quietly took oil and left.

As he achieved his goal, he was in a good mood at this time. While eating dried fruits and humming a small song in his mouth, he came to the side courtyard unknowingly.

The scenery in this side courtyard is extremely beautiful, and the snow scenery of the rockery is interesting, which is a rare and pure place.

Xiao Zicheng was hiking in the snow while eating dried fruits.

At this moment, an uninvited guest came over. It was either someone else or the guy Zhu Rong.

"Old Xiao, you are not authentic. If you have such a good thing, please get me some first if you don't say it."

Xiao Zicheng looked at Zhu Ying in a regular dress and couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed:

"You said to me, today's birthday party of the Concubine, why did you sneak out? If your Majesty knows, you will inevitably be beaten with you again..."

Zhu Ying smiled mysteriously, "You are wrong this time. My father agreed to leave the palace."

A chill rose from Xiao Zicheng's heart and he couldn't help but shivered.

......

The next morning, Xiao Zicheng got up early for the first time.

Xiao Fangzhi was eating breakfast when he suddenly saw his son coming in. Thinking of the news he had sent back last night, his face darkened:

"Boy, did you really make that essential oil? Could it be that there is no way to talk about it?"

Xiao Zicheng picked up the porridge bowl casually, "Of course I made it. The concubine said she would use it. She is still busy today."

Xiao Fangzhi's first reaction after learning the news was that he didn't believe it, but he thought that his son always made unexpected moves these days, so he didn't go into it.

Mrs. Qin couldn't sit still. Seeing that Xiao Zicheng was becoming more and more popular with the master, she suddenly felt full of crisis and said sarcastically:

"I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years to keep the whole mansion safe and smooth. Now that the national treasury is tight, you are making money in public. If the emperor knows it, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zicheng rolled his eyes. No one could match his stepmother's ability to give eye drops to others.

Sure enough, Xiao Fangzhi's eyes changed when he heard this, and his expression became serious:

"Cheng'er, your mother is right, why not do this. Don't do it when you auction it, the price of essential oils is twice as high as that of powder."

Xiao Zicheng cursed in his heart. He went through all his efforts to let Xiao Tao distribute the trial suit to the officials who attended the banquet for today.

Now let him sell it at a bargain price? If this profit is still so difficult...

"Father, don't worry about this, I know it."

Seeing that Xiao Zicheng refused to lower the price, Xiao Fangzhi was about to be tough, but as soon as he was about to raise his hand, Xiao Zicheng ran away with oil.

Seeing his son jumping up and down, Xiao Fangzhi couldn't help but sigh:

"The Xiao family has this son, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster..."

Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up and she hurriedly spoke and comforted:

"Master, you don't need to be sad. Brother Cheng is naughty, but our Brother Qing is so obedient.

I wrote to the academy yesterday, and those scholars praised him for his progress. In the future, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself and shine on his family."

Xiao Fangzhi nodded. Compared to Xiao Zicheng, the uneasy person, his second son was well-behaved and obedient.
Chapter completed!
