Wanjin Lady

Chapter 200 The Disappearance of Wen Jing

Chen Ma's face was filled with pain, and her words were very tactful. "Master, please leave quickly. If you don't leave now, you will miss your destination tonight."

Old Man Wen also told Wen Wan to eat well, drink well and have good bowel movements.

Wen Wan's scalp tingled when she heard this. She pushed Old Man Wen out and said, "Dad, please leave quickly. If you don't leave now, we won't be able to catch up with our destination tonight."

After reluctantly bidding farewell to Old Man Wen and Aunt Liu, the group slowly walked back to the city. When they returned to the Wen residence, Aunt Chen suddenly jumped up, "Oh my God! Where's the Second Miss???!!!"

Wen Wan and Hong Mei were both dumbfounded!
Hongmei's eyes trembled: "I remember...she went with us to the city gate to see the master off this morning...and then..."

Wen Wan held her forehead, remembering that last night Wen Jing came to her and asked if she could help beg her father to take Wen Jing to Bozhou for a trip, but Wen Wan flatly refused.

Even little Wen Jing offered up the few copper coins she had on her in the tens of thousands in order to bribe her to achieve her ulterior motives.

"She probably took advantage of the crowd to get on the carriage and follow her father to Bozhou!"

Chen Ma was startled. "Oh my God! The Second Miss is so bold! No wonder she kept talking about going to Bozhou the past two days—"

Wen Wan smiled bitterly, thinking that Aunt Liu was walking halfway when she suddenly saw a child coming out, and she had no suitable tools at hand, so she must be itching to try something new.

"What a pity! If I had known my sister was going, I should have packed a cane in my mother's bag."

Aunt Chen smiled wickedly, "Don't worry, young lady. When I was helping Madam pack her luggage the other day, I slipped the cane in. I wanted to take it out, but Madam said that looking at the cane reminded her of the Second Young Lady, so we packed it in together."

The three of them looked around, then all showed evil fleece smiles.

-------------------------

As the saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king.

As soon as Old Man Wen and Liu Yiyi left, the entire Wen family became Wen Wan's world.

She is now like a monkey in Mount Emei, she can get whatever she wants.

Mei Qing was temporarily in charge of all the affairs of the winery. As the owner, she hid behind the scenes, watching the funds gradually flowing back into the account every day, thinking about how to make the winery bigger and stronger. At the very least, she would read the notebooks and travel notes that Cheng Yunzhang sent her to kill time.

Wen Wan doesn't like reading storybooks.

The stories in the storybooks are all about a silly rich girl falling in love with a heartless scholar, a silly rich girl eloping with a servant, and a silly rich girl falling in love with a scholar and eloping after reincarnation.

All girls who are rich and good-looking are love-brained. They are willing to die for men and call it noble and pure love.

They are all YY stories written by men who have the final say.

This made Wen Wan, who had suffered from the poison of short dramas in later generations, want to write a few books herself, such as "The Overbearing Emperor Falls in Love with a Village Woman", "The Strongest Son-in-Law", "Master Loves Me Again", and "Mrs. XX is Divorced Today", which would surely open the eyes of the people of the Chen Dynasty.

Wen Wan is now pregnant with a big belly, like a street urchin in Ping County. She spends her days either strolling around the winery or at home.

Aunt Chen knew that she couldn't sit still, but she was also most afraid that she wouldn't sit still. Pregnancy and childbirth for twins are several times more dangerous than for other women. What's more, the Wen family has few children, and the whole family is counting on Wen Wan's pregnancy.

Not only Chen Ma, but Hongmei is also now staying by Wen Wan's side.

Hongmei was easy to talk to, but she was not allowed to do two things.

First, this is not accurate.

Second, that is not allowed.

Mother Chen comes every day to see what Wen Wan is doing in the house.

Hongmei replied, "The young lady is working on a ten-year plan to expand and strengthen the Wen Family Distillery." "Ten years?" Chen Ma frowned. "I'll be almost dead by then. I won't live to see the day the Wen Family Distillery becomes powerful. Can't you let the young lady make a five-year plan?"

Hongmei smiled and said nothing.

Later, Hongmei witnessed the girl tearing through the account book, writing the big characters, making the plan, and even contacting a craftsman to make seals with her head portrait and stamp them all over the room.

Her girl finally went crazy.

Fortunately, Mei Qing appeared at the Wen family with the account books of several wine shops.

Before Wen Wan had time to reform several taverns, she had to take the baby with her, which undoubtedly hindered her progress.

For the time being, several wine shops can only continue to develop according to the previous model.

"Young Master, the account books for several wine shops have been delivered. I checked them last night and found that there are basically no major discrepancies. However, selling wine is a long-term business, and the capital return is slow. This first quarter, after deducting the wages of the wine shop staff and transportation costs, the profit was only two or three hundred taels of silver. Compared to last year... that's about 20% less..."

Two or three hundred taels?

It’s so damn hard to make money!
Mei Qing bit her teeth lightly, a trace of embarrassment on her face, "Young Master, it's my fault. Guangji's poor performance is all due to my fault."

Wen Wan took out the account book of the Guangji County wine shop and took a quick look at it. The account book made by the Wen family member was terrible to look at. After Mei Qing checked and corrected it word by word, Wen Wan seemed less exhausted.

"Earlier, I had a disagreement with that shopkeeper Wen, and he spread rumors...using my status as a divorced woman..." Mei Qing gritted her teeth, "He also said that I was involved with the male customers of the tavern, causing great damage to the tavern's reputation and affecting the sales of Bifang Liquor—"

I thought Wen Wan would be angry, but unexpectedly, the young lady held the account book in her hand without even looking up, "That proves that you have the upper hand in the power struggle, and the other party has run out of tricks and can only spread rumors."

Especially... spreading pornographic rumors.

Seeing Mei Qing's complicated expression, Wen Wan closed the account book and said with a smile, "When a woman is out in the public eye doing business, this kind of thing is inevitable. Only mediocre people are afraid of being judged. As long as she doesn't kidnap people like this time, or hurt herself with real weapons, rumors are nothing. Making money is the kingly way."

Mei Qing's smile was forced.

Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult. When will she be as open-minded as the young master?

"Our Ruiguo pulp is going to the Bozhou exhibition this time, maybe we can really bring back an order. Now that Master Ma and Feng Shuigen are away, there are people available at the winery. You can pick two capable people to go and look at the mountains near our county--"

Mei Qing understood, "Young Master, do you want to grow grapes?"

"We can start by bringing grapes from Master Ma's hometown this year, but if the market grows in the future and demand for grapes exceeds supply, subsequent production will definitely not keep up. These things must be considered in advance."

Mei Qing nodded.

Look at the top of the mountain.

That's not easy.

It depends on whether there are vacant hills and the soil must be fertile and suitable for growing grapes. There are no grape growers in Ping County, so farmers must be trained in advance. Each of these steps is not easy to do.

Wen Wan smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry. At least there is still time this year."

Mei Qing is an impatient person, and she gets busy as soon as Wen Wan gives the order.

Two months passed in a flash.

At the end of July, the summer heat intensified, and Wen's house became like an airtight box. Every night breeze was filled with the summer heat.
