The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 365 The doubts of the apprentices
Zeng Qi is an ordinary apprentice in the upper four workshops of Yujiang Xiangfang, but he is quite senior among the apprentices and has been in Xiangfang for five years.

In five years, Zeng Qi has changed from a young man who has not reached the weak crown to a young man in his 20s, but the qualifications of a perfumer are still out of reach.Not everyone is so lucky to jump over that dragon gate. Zeng Qi admits that he worked very hard, but...he understands that his talent is only mediocre, and that he was able to enter Yujiang Xiangfang is more thanks to the blessings of his father and brother at home.

His family has been running incense shops in Yujiang for several generations. Although the business is not very big, they have a small status in the industry.As the bastard son of the family, he is of course not qualified to inherit the family business, but his father still loves him.He deliberately found a lot of favors and spent a lot of money, and finally stuffed him into this prefectural-level incense shop that everyone covets as an apprentice.

It's a pity that he failed his father's expectations...Fortunately, his father didn't blame him, but just told him kindly that as long as he stayed in the incense workshop for two more years and learned some skills in managing affairs in the incense workshop, he would dial a phone call when he returned home. A small incense shop is run by Zeng Qi.

For a bastard, this is not a bad prospect.In order to achieve this result, the father does not know how long he will have to please and compromise with the aunt. After all, the aunt's family is not bad... Fortunately, although the aunt is strict, she is not a vicious person. No matter how cold she is to him, a small incense shop ...Shouldn't it touch her bottom line?

Zeng Qi is married and has two children.Apprentices in his situation usually live at home and come to work in the incense workshop during the day, so they don't have to live in the incense workshop with apprentices who don't have a family.However, the time for going to work is fixed. If he wants to live at home and enjoy family happiness, he has to get up early to catch up with the time for work. The steward will not show any mercy to ordinary apprentices like him!
In fact, although Zeng Qi has a good relationship with his wife and children, they are not happy at home.The parents are still there, and there is no reason for the Zeng family to separate. The whole family lives in the Sanjin courtyard, and there are people everywhere.That's all, but the family is headed by an aunt, and even his own mother has no status, let alone his wife and children?I can only timidly follow the big family to eat and do things, work more than others, and suffer more anger than others.

In the past, he often comforted his wife, saying that it was hard work for you, let's endure it first, until one day I will be promoted to a perfumer and have a status.Then there is a reason to move the bill.Later, seeing that there was no hope of becoming an incense craftsman, he could only say to his wife, wait a minute, when I become a teacher from Yujiang Xiangfang, my father will find a way to allocate an incense shop to me alone.At that time, we moved to the incense shop to be in charge in name, but in fact we were the masters of the house. Isn't it beautiful?
The wife has a lot of bitterness in her heart, but what can she say?He knew that his husband was a concubine before he married, and he would definitely encounter these things when he married.It is better to have hope than to have no hope... I can only endure it.

Zeng Qi never talked about family matters to his companions in the incense workshop. He just immersed himself in his work every day, hoping to be able to graduate smoothly.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as he had expected. To become a teacher, the master had to nod.The master he followed in Xiangfang was Yan Bishuang.Master Yan Xiang has been worrying about a major event in Xiangfang for the past two days. As a senior disciple, Zeng Qi also knows about it, but he only vaguely knows that everyone will be busy for a while, but he has no access to so many inside stories.

Suddenly, he, along with a dozen other seniors and Yan Bishuang's most beloved female disciple, Hu Qiuping, were ordered to perform a "special task" with Gan Tiantian, a newly promoted perfumer in the workshop.

what's the situation?
Zeng Qi was stunned, and asked them young people in their 20s, at least eighteen or nineteen, to work with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old newcomer... Even if he is already a craftsman, his status is definitely higher than them, but ... Can she take care of people?
He wanted to ask more questions, but Yan Bishuang didn't give him this opportunity, but told him very seriously that if he didn't do well in this job, he could only postpone his appointment as a teacher without discussing it.It means, if you don't cooperate well with Miss Gan, then you just wait!
Alas... How can a person not bow his head under the eaves?Master Yan Xiang's serious disciple Hu Qiuping, who had gone through the apprenticeship ceremony, followed the training obediently, and the others also looked obedient, but what everyone thinks...God knows.

Gan Tiantian's name is known to everyone in Yujiang Xiangfang, but not everyone has seen her.Most of them are apprentices like Zeng Qi, who have only heard of this "legendary" Fangzhu's new favorite apprentice in the ears of others.In the eyes of these apprentices who have been in the industry for almost ten years and have not made it through for a long time, Gan Tiantian, who has been in the industry for more than a year and has become a perfumer, is really lucky.

Because he has been staying with Ji Bingyun for a long time, Gan Tiantian's starting point is too high, he only thinks that he, a perfumer, is just a small shrimp in the same industry, but he doesn't know that he has long been envied by many people.Of course, even if she knew it, she wouldn't take it seriously...

"It is indeed a very pleasing little girl, but you want us all to obey her orders? What are you going to do?"

With such questions in mind, Zeng Qi and the others silently looked at the little girl in front of them, who was much shorter than Hu Qiuping.

Gan Tiantian didn't expect himself to have the domineering aura of the protagonist Halo King, who would make everyone bow down and bow down as soon as he walked out, but just tried to keep his immature face serious.

In fact, she couldn't be serious, because Yujiang Xiangfang, or the crisis that Lin Qingyang and her faced together, was so serious that she hadn't relaxed for several days, and her spirit was always in a tense state.

Yan Bishuang chose to trust her in the end, and allocated more than a dozen apprentices under her jurisdiction, including her lover Hu Qiuping, to her.And Yan Bishuang herself, according to the original plan, almost "accepted fate" and took all the other stewards and apprentices to the various fragrance workshops in Yujiang Mansion, and started the arduous end-of-year investigation work...

Gan Tiantian strongly urges Yan Bishuang to take Lan Yingwei away. It is best to arrange Lan Yingwei to be investigated in the most remote incense houses, and it is best not to come back for a few days.Yan Bishuang didn't understand Gan Tiantian's thoughts at first, so Gan Tiantian could only explain a little bit that he was afraid that something bad happened to Lan Ying.

bad thing?Yan Bishuang was even more puzzled. She didn't intend to assign too many tasks to these stewards and craftsmen who were close to the Ji family.But Gan Tiantian said that if she doesn't want Lan Yingwei to work actively, just ask her not to know that she is leading a group of people to do some "unspeakable" things in the incense shop.

Having said that, even though Yan Bishuang was still puzzled, he accepted this explanation and really took Lan Yingwei away.Gan Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, the incident of Lan Yingwei's poisoning cast a huge shadow on her, she was very afraid that the incense shop would be in chaos these days, and Lan Yingwei took the opportunity to take a new action, then she really didn't want to live!
