The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 44: If you want to advance, you must suppress it first
Zhang Yun逸 didn't know that he had aroused Aunt Xue's emotions.

However, even if he knew, he might not change his original strategy.

At this stage, although he plans to let the Xue family outsource services, it is just a business transaction.

But once you have a substantial relationship with the mother and daughter of the Xue family, not only will you be too deeply involved, but you will also inevitably have to make concessions.

Aunt Xue is not like Youshi. Even if she has an affair with me, she will still put Xue Pan first.

Although this problem is not unsolvable, since she has been ruined, it can be easily solved by giving her a thought, but at the moment he does not have the strength to suppress those rumors.

In comparison, the Xue family, who are in charge of the inner court, are the easiest to control, not to mention that Xue Pan's identity as a living dead can be used.

Not only is the relationship with Rong Mansion not as close as that with Ning Mansion, but there is also Lady Jia in charge. If any rumors really arise, it would be a case of losing the big picture over the small.

He took it as his responsibility to save Jinchai, but it was not just the Xue family. He couldn't confuse the priorities and ruined his plan for the sake of the Xue family who could be controlled at any time.

After washing his face, he sat down between Aunt Xue and Youshi.

He bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive me, Madam. I just asked for a day off the day before yesterday, and I have to go to the government office soon. This matter must be made clear first to avoid misunderstandings at that time, so I took the liberty to ask you."

Aunt Xue saw that he behaved properly and did not avoid Youshi, so she calmed down a little and said with a smile: "Hey! Hey! It's okay, brother Yi, please go ahead."

"Yesterday, I have already reached an agreement with the prince and the general manager of the Guangchusi, Mr. Dong. From now on, the snowflake cotton candy produced by the Tiangong Academy will be sold by the eight imperial merchants in the inner palace."

Although Prince Zhongshun was not present yesterday, Zhao Lianggong, as the chief historian of the royal palace, also represented Prince Zhongshun and used the tiger's skin as a banner. Zhang Yun逸 was already familiar with this.

"This..." Aunt Xue couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

She just thought that Zhang Yunyi was still in the dark about her family's situation, and just discussed the sale of sugar yesterday and was in a hurry to tell her the good news.

For a moment, I was struggling over whether I should take this opportunity to ask him for help.

However, before she could speak, Zhang Yunyi continued, "This snowflake cotton candy was named by the emperor himself. Once the sales volume is determined, it will not be easily changed. I took the initiative to ask for a 10% share and gave it to my concubine to sell. I hope my concubine will not blame me!"

He deliberately emphasized the key information, and Aunt Xue immediately understood what he meant.

Not only did the thing she worried about not happen, but the problem of the imperial merchant being deprived of his title was solved. How could she not be excited?

He couldn't help but clench his fists and pound his chest, unable to hide his excitement, "Oh! This is truly a great favor, something I can't even ask for..."

She was so proud of herself that she caused a huge storm, and Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but look at her sideways.

He bowed deeply, and seeing Aunt Xue looking at him with gratitude, he quickly covered up and said, "Madam, please listen to me."

These words made Aunt Xue's heart beat fast again. She unconsciously huddled the big man in front of her into a ball and looked at Zhang Yunyi with eyes full of trepidation.

"Yi... If Brother Yi has any requests, we can discuss it slowly..."

Zhang Yunyi referred to the emperor when he spoke and the prince when he closed his mouth, which made her imagine a lot.

Naturally, she was unwilling to make sacrifices for the title of imperial merchant.

But if Xue Pan's identity problem could be solved once and for all, not only could those industries be preserved.

Moreover, by climbing up the big tree of Zhang Yunyi, she would definitely be able to obtain a larger quota in the future output of Tiangong Institute, which would allow her own business to reach a higher level. How could she not be tempted?

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Baochai's words yesterday. The best result would of course be to marry her daughter into the Zhang family. In this way, not only would it not cause gossip, but it would bind them more deeply.

However, before Zhang Yunyi said this, she wished that Youshi would confront her in person, but now she couldn't bring herself to do it.

The so-called slow talk naturally meant that they hoped to avoid Youshi and then discuss it with Zhang Yun逸.

However, Zhang Yunyi was obviously going to disappoint her. He raised his hand and said without question, "There is no need to discuss this matter. If the concubine does not agree, there is no need to discuss it further."

"Don't worry, Brother Yi! We can talk about it, we can talk about it!"

Aunt Xue didn't expect him to be so aggressive, so she had to compromise and said, "Although this is not a secret, can I ask Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law to..."

Before the word "convenient" came out, Zhang Yunyi grabbed Youshi who had stood up and said, "This is originally about my sister-in-law, why should we be shy about it?"

Hearing that it was related to Youshi, Aunt Xue was shocked and confused, and did not care whether his action of holding Youshi was appropriate.

When Youshi saw that he held her hand without any hesitation, she was surprised and happy.

Aunt Xue didn't know the inside story, but she thought about the share she had agreed to at the beginning. She thought it was just a small subsidy, but she didn't expect it to be as much as 10%.

The earlier resentment suddenly vanished, and turned into full of spring love.

Seeing that the bargaining was almost over, Zhang Yunyi said bluntly: "Although the auntie can sell the 10% share, the profit must be handed over to my sister-in-law intact, and she must also be used to subsidize the wages and other expenses. If the auntie has no objection, we can continue the discussion."

"This……"

Aunt Xue, who had originally been determined to let others take advantage of her, did not expect it to be so simple. She said in disbelief, "This is Yi Ge'er's share. We are already taking a huge advantage by helping him sell it. We naturally cannot be ungrateful and still think about making a profit from it."

Her words were not entirely flattering.

Exclusive projects like this can bring in a fixed source of customers and drive other businesses of the store.

When You sat down again, her eyes were already shimmering. Using the cover of the table, she grabbed Zhang Yunyi's hand and placed it on her legs, and they knelt for a while.

Seeing that he couldn't sit up straight because of Youshi's pulling, Zhang Yunyi quickly stopped her with his eyes and turned to Aunt Xue and said, "Since Auntie doesn't object, you can discuss the future handover with your sister-in-law in detail. Let's talk about the next business first."

When she heard that there was another business deal, Aunt Xue sat up straight and acted as if she was listening attentively.

"There's no rush for this. Madam, go back and ask your own shopkeeper if there are any clerks who have been to Kubuqi Salt Lake. If there are, we can discuss it in detail later."

Aunt Xue said hurriedly, "Hey! Hey! I'll ask when I get back and give Brother Yi a reply as soon as possible."

Zhang Yunyi nodded and said meaningfully, "I have already negotiated with the Guangchusi. If it is inconvenient for the concubine to go, you can send someone else. They should not embarrass the Xue family."

"Oh! That's great!" Aunt Xue said with a smile, "It's not convenient for us mother and daughter to show up in public, and Wenlong is a naive person. It would be best if we don't ask him to show up, otherwise I'm afraid that he will ruin the good thing."

"Well!" Zhang Yunyi saw that the matter had been discussed. He was afraid that if he let Youshi go any further, he would not be able to hold the chopsticks. He calmly withdrew his hand, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Then please forgive me for my poor hospitality. I have to go to the government office soon. Do you want to talk with my concubine and sister-in-law here, or should we find another place?"

"Let's not disturb Brother Yi from eating. Let's go to the garden to talk!"
