Wanjin Lady

Chapter 421 Head-to-head confrontation
"Didn't they say the profits of these shops are more than ten times higher than a few days ago?" Miao was very tight-lipped and enthusiastic, but she couldn't get any useful information out of him. "Since these merchants have made so much money, even if it doesn't help with tax revenue, they should at least pay a little."

broken.

Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat.

If Yan Shouli really sets his sights on the shops cooperating with Wen Wan, then wouldn’t the shop owners end up with nothing?

Isn’t she working hard to make wedding dresses for others?
If Yan Shouli gave her the credit for building the river embankment, what would the shop owners think?

"My husband praised your intelligence and ability, and for helping him solve a pressing problem. Therefore, he has submitted a request for tribute to the Ministry of Revenue, including the auspicious fruit syrup from the Wen family winery." Miao smiled sincerely. "In a few days, the delegation responsible for the tribute wine will arrive in Bozhou. Miss Wen, you must seize this opportunity."

There is always a bright future after a sudden turn of events!
Wen Wanwan never expected that the tribute wine brand that Yuan Qi promised her would fall on her so soon.

However, Miao instructed, "The Cheng Changchun French wine is also included in the request. The tribute wine delegation will choose to report to either the Wen or Cheng families. Miss Wen, although this is a good opportunity, we must plan ahead."

Miao's hand fell on Wen Wan's wrist. "There are many steps involved. Without someone to take care of it, I'm afraid we won't be a match for the Cheng family. If you want to know the details, you must ask Lord Wei for guidance as soon as possible."

In the final analysis, Wen Wan is Wei Zheng's junior sister, and Cheng Yunzhang is Wei Zheng's junior brother. Since Cheng's Distillery is on the list of tribute wine candidates, in order to be fair, Wen's Distillery must naturally be added.

You can make moves on both sides without offending either side.

Miao stopped there, and Wen Wan's heart was beating fast, "Thank you Madam Miao for your guidance!"

Finally, there is no way to retreat, and we finally have to confront the Cheng family head-on!

There are no secrets in Bozhou City.

The Red Mansion's fame was rising rapidly, and Wen Wan's every move attracted attention. As soon as the Miao family left, word spread like wildfire that the Wen family winery had been nominated for the imperial wine.

The happiest person among them was Shopkeeper Lei. He took advantage of the time when the rumors were at their most rampant and immediately found Wen Wan to confirm the news.

"I've been doing business for so many years, but this is the first time I've been this close to the Heavenly Family!"

"We still have to compete with the Cheng family." Wen Wan woke him up, "Besides, the shops participating in the Women's Day event this time have also been targeted by Lord Yan."

Shopkeeper Lei was also upset. After all his hard work, he might not even receive a single favor in the end. If there were any wicked people, they would probably speculate on Wen Wan's intentions.

"Yan Shouli is simply taking advantage of the opportunity to enrich himself!" Lei Zexin said in a low voice, "He's not some high-ranking official."

Everyone knows that disaster relief is the easiest breeding ground for corruption.

Unfortunately, the people do not fight against the officials.

"I'm worried..." It would be fine if Yan Shouli really embezzled money, but she was more worried. Jia Shi showed weakness inexplicably a few days ago, and now it happened again. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed that she was targeting her.

Lei Zexin, however, was more open-minded: "Don't worry, a friend's death is better than mine. Ruiguojiang is on the list of tribute wines, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it. Shopkeeper Wen, don't worry, you have the support of Lord Wei. If you have any financial difficulties..." Old Lei chuckled, "We have the support of Madam Mo and Shopkeeper Zhu."

You can't rely on the pig spirit. This old guy asks him for money as if it were his life.

Besides, Wen Wan also had a general idea of ​​the pig demon's family background.

and many more……

When did she become so familiar with pig sperm?
Just thinking about it...it's disgusting!

"We might not need the money. However, Madam Tian reminded me that someone from the Ministry of Rites' Department of Receptions will be coming to inspect us soon, but I'm not familiar with the specific procedures. Perhaps Manager Lei has someone in this field we can consult?" That is indeed a question.

Shopkeeper Lei laughed, "Miss Wen, what are you talking about? If you want to ask for advice on paying tribute, isn't this person close at hand?"

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows and then remembered that there was indeed such a person.

Wei Zheng.

"I heard that this Lord Wei was raised by the Empress since he was a child. He must be familiar with the procedures involved in the Ministry of Rites."

After much deliberation, Wen Wan finally decided to seek Wei Zheng's help.

At the same time, Jia was also in a hurry to find her eldest sister. Jia was well-informed. As soon as the prefect's wife went to the Red Mansion, she received a tip-off. She never expected that Wen Wan would actually compete with the Cheng family for the brand of the imperial wine!
The matter is big!

This is not just Jia's business, she must let her elder sister know.

Jia happened to run into Cheng Yunzhang in the flower hall as he returned from class. She was furious when she recalled Cheng Yunzhang's previous defense of Wen Wan, so she went up to him and said, "Xiu Wen, did you know that the Wen family's Ruiguojiang has been selected for next year's tribute wine? I can't believe that Wen Wan has only been in Bozhou for half a year, and she's caught the Cheng family winery off guard. You treated her like a junior sister, yet she's stealing our business, even stealing this plaque for the imperial wine!"

Cheng Yunzhang turned his head.

He was incredibly thin, his clothes looking baggy, but his face showed no emotion when he heard this. "The imperial wine changes every four years, and each time the Ministry of Rites selects the best from several families. Even if it's not the Wen family this time, it will be another winery. Besides, the Cheng family winery may not lose, and Wen Wan may not win. Third aunt, there's no need to be angry."

Jia snorted coldly, "I really don't know what's wrong with you! They say girls are outgoing, but I think you're the one who's leaning outward!"

After Jia left, Cheng Yunzhang looked at a wisp of cloud in the sky.

These days, he reads every day when he opens his eyes, and his family also deliberately avoids the matter of Wen's winery. In a daze, it seems that the severance of his friendship with Wen Wan was a thing of the previous life.

very nice.

She finally won the admission qualification on her own.

Then he should go and find his own vast sky.

Although Madam Yuan is old and has now left the winery to her two younger brothers, and she doesn't care much about the winery's affairs, it doesn't mean that she is out of touch with the world. As soon as Ruiguojiang was included in the list of tribute wines and reported to the Ministry of Rites, the entire Yuan family had already heard the news.

When Jia entered, she found that several brothers and younger generations of the Yuan family were there. Everyone in the Yuan family also got the news and was now sitting there anxiously waiting for the head of the family to make a decision.

Except Yuan Yidao.

Jia was busy dealing with Wen Wan and didn't care about Yuan Yidao at all, allowing Aunt Chun to seduce her all day long.

This actually saved her a lot of trouble.

When Jia entered, the room suddenly became quiet.

Jia had been causing unrest in the Yuan family some time ago, offending everyone in the Yuan family. Fortunately, she went to a temple and felt much calmer.

When the eldest wife of the Yuan family saw Jia coming, she knew that she had not let Wen Wan go. "Third sister-in-law, you need to change your temper. The government has closed the case of Yuan Qi. It's just groundless accusations. Don't keep chasing Wen Wan like crazy all day long!"

Jia laughed sarcastically, "If that's the case, then what are you doing now, big brother? Rui fruit pulp will soon replace our Cheng family wine. And you still plan to coexist peacefully with Wen Wan?"
