Wanjin Lady

Chapter 14 The Wedding Date Remains
Wen Weiming was slightly surprised, but he couldn't make up his mind. "But if I invite someone I don't know into my home, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house, causing endless trouble?"

Wen Wan shook her head and smiled, "Qi Jia Sanlang knows everything. Your aunt is still your closest relative, but they are even more ruthless than the other clan members."

Having said this, Wen Wan stopped talking in time.

She didn't want to hurt her cheap dad's feelings.

So she immediately changed the subject, "This shows that people's hearts are unpredictable. Until the critical moment, you won't know whether the other party is a human or a ghost. In this case, it doesn't matter whether it is a human or a ghost, as long as I can use it——"

Wen Weiming was shocked, thinking that his daughter must have been deeply hurt by Qi Jia Sanlang, and even her temper had changed. He also secretly annoyed himself that his poor health had hindered his daughter's marriage.

Wen Wan was completely oblivious to the complexities of her father's thoughts and continued, "Father, our biggest challenge right now is to protect the kingdom you've worked so hard to build. As for what the son-in-law we recruit will look like, what his personality is like, and how he'll treat us, that's all for the future. We, father and daughter, must first work together to overcome this difficult situation."

Father Wen nodded. "Wanniang is right. We don't have to be controlled by others. Let the Qi family dream on!"

As for the son-in-law who is recruited, he will be ordered to change his surname to his wife's and then register with the government. Then this son-in-law will be a slave of the Wen family for his whole life. He can go east or west at will. How can we not control him?

Only after the front was united could Wen Wan put her mind at ease.

She was afraid that Father Wen would think that her words were disrespectful and rebellious, but fortunately, Father Wen had been in the business world for many years and was more flexible than ordinary people.

In this way, if things go well with Mr. Tu, she can also quickly convince Old Man Wen to accept a stranger as the son-in-law of the Wen family.

We traveled late at night, but fortunately we had servants to escort us, so we had a peaceful night.

At dawn, the city gate opened and the carriage slowly headed towards the Wen family residence.

Wen Wan opened her eyes drowsily and found that Old Man Wen had not slept yet. The old man had a wrinkled face and looked worried.

That whole night, the old man was working like he was burning lamp oil.

Wen Wan advised, "Dad, don't worry. At most, we can build roads through mountains and bridges across rivers. With your wisdom and my cleverness, if even a copper coin falls from the sky in Ping County, it will belong to our Wen family!"

Wen Weiming grinned, and the dark clouds between his brows dissipated.

I never thought that after my daughter had been in charge of the family for half a year, her temperament had become more open-minded than before, but I had been ill and was not as decisive as before.

After sending Old Man Wen back to his room, Wen Wan left when Old Man Wen reminded her, "Wanniang, don't put all your eggs in one basket. That kid from Xishan might not be reliable. Why not have Second Master Tu go to the nearby human traffickers or brokers and get a few more guys so you can choose from them. We can't tell if they're human or ghost, but at least pick one with outstanding appearance."

Wen Wan laughed secretly in her heart.

Sure, Daddy Wen.

Not only did he learn without a teacher, but he also learned to apply what he learned to other situations.

He is truly a teachable father.

Father Wen might have been thinking of Wen Wan's mother, his eyes a little blurry. "Although we shouldn't judge a person by their appearance, you have to believe that appearance reflects the heart. People who are ugly are definitely mean-spirited. If I hadn't married your mother, you would be a jerk too!"

Wen Wan couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, Father. The Second Master went out to get it done yesterday. No matter what, the wedding date in half a month... will not be delayed!"

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

Anyone in Ping County who was paying attention would definitely notice the changes in the Wen family.

It was a small place, only two or three miles from west to east. Within an hour, everyone knew whether a woman was cheating on her husband, a daughter-in-law was having an affair with her father-in-law, or a man was chased for three blocks by his wife after drinking outside.

In the past six months, the most talked-about topic among the people of Ping County has been the Wen family, who sell wine. —It's said that the Wen family is decorated with lanterns and streamers; perhaps good things are about to happen.

Didn't we just hang up the white lanterns last month? Why are we planning another wedding? Is Shopkeeper Wen still holding on to this?
——With a doctor following closely and expensive medicines to take, you won’t die!

——Oh, a pot of Bifang wine from his family sells for more than a hundred coins. He must have made too much money by cheating. The King of Hell is coming to take him away.

That's a pity for Miss Wen. I heard that Miss Wen is a famous beauty in Ping County, even the wife of the county magistrate is inferior to her. Tsk tsk tsk, if anyone marries Miss Wen, they will be blessed with eight lifetimes of happiness! Not only will he have a beautiful woman in his arms, but he will also have the Wen family's vast wealth.

——Don’t even mention it, what if they want to marry into the family?

"Marrying a son-in-law? The imperial court isn't at war these days, and no family seems to be struggling. So, as for letting your son marry into the family?! How's that any different from selling your son?! Parents like that are wicked from the bottom of their hearts!

—Hey, Old Zhao, didn't you just say you'd never met Miss Wen? Look, that person sitting in the carriage is...

Wen Wan set a small goal for herself.

She had to visit all the taverns in the four counties of Anyang, Yangxian, Shouan and Guangji.

There are eight counties under Bozhou, and Bifang wine has entered four of them. These four counties are all close to Ping County, with the closest one being a hundred kilometers away and the farthest one being three or four hundred kilometers away.

Ping County, as its base, was supported by the Wen family residence, the winery, and a wine shop, combining the place of origin and the head office into one. The other four counties either placed orders through local wine shops or had distributors deliver their products to them, but ultimately, they all relied on the Ping County winery as their foundation.

Wen Wan was worried that her father's condition might change, so she didn't dare to go far and only went to Anyang first.

A round trip only takes four or five days.

But when I came back and passed by the teahouse, I heard such gossip from the people.

Hongmei was so angry that her mouth twisted. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to go up to fight, but Wenwan stopped her, "Don't go."

The tone paused.

The young lady in the carriage raised her bright eyes from the account book of the Anyang County Tavern and looked at Hongmei, "There are so many of them. I'm afraid you'll get beaten."

Hongmei said bitterly, "But I don't want to be a coward."

"What's wrong with the turtle?" Wen Wan gently closed the account book and rubbed her sore eyes. "Turtles can live to be a hundred years old."

Lu Ping smiled and said, "Miss, you are right. Although turtles can also be cooked into soup -" She turned her head and said, "Miss, I will make some turtle soup for you tonight to nourish you."

Wen Wan didn't know how the topic went from turtle to turtle soup, but she still answered "OK".

Lu Ping thought to herself: "The young lady used to think turtles were ugly and wouldn't eat them, but now her appetite has changed a lot. If she's willing to eat turtles, then maybe pigeons, rabbits, and snake soup will be available to her in the future."

Little did people know that ever since Wen Wan fell ill in her previous life, she has been craving for anything she can't eat.

After chemotherapy, everything I ate had no taste and I gradually lost my appetite.

She finally has a healthy stomach in this life, so she must eat and drink well while protecting her stomach.

Screw the idea of ​​slenderness.

She wants to live her life as strong as a calf and healthy.
