Chapter 699
Yesterday, Lin Wan's sister-in-law An Huijuan made a special trip to Moxiang Street, bringing the latest news about Ye Shen to the Ye family.
The court had already begun to transfer people to Jizhou. Although it had not been completely decided on who to transfer to Jizhou as the prefect, other officials in Jizhou had already rushed to Jizhou from all over the place, so Ye Shen was able to set off for the capital soon.
According to Luo's words, Ye Shen can set off from Jizhou in mid-September.
Ye Shen returned to the capital from Jiangnan, and no longer had heavy cars to drag him down. The light cars could reach the capital in about half a month. In this way, Ye Shen might be able to return to the capital at the end of the month, and at the latest at the beginning of October, he should be able to catch up with Lin Wan's production.
However, it is hard to say. After all, Lin Wan is pregnant with twins, and it is normal for twins to have one and a half months premature birth.
After receiving the news from An Huijuan yesterday, Wu said something to Madam Zhang and Madam Zhao again, with only one purpose, that is, try not to tell Lin Wan about the news outside, whether it is good or bad news.
Everyone knows Lin Wan’s current situation, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Of course, everyone knows that if Lin Wan doesn’t tell anything, it’s not OK to see anyone.
Therefore, whenever someone invites you to see or visit, although you will still be taken to Lin Wan, you will accept the order before you see Lin Wan.
Fortunately, those who came to visit Lin Wan were either from Zhennan Hou’s Mansion, or Lin Wan’s sisters or two sisters-in-law. They could understand the Ye family’s approach, and they had to envy Lin Wan’s life now.
Everyone knows that if Wu had not been in front of him, even if Miss Zhao and Madam Zhang were the proud people in front of Lin Wan, they would not have been able to do this.
The people in Zhennan Hou’s Mansion and Lin Wan’s sisters were not only envious of this, but naturally they were more happy for Lin Wan.
As a sister-in-law, I felt a little more indescribable.
Even when they were pregnant, they received meticulous care from Wu. However, seeing Lin Wan's love now in her hand, she still felt very uncomfortable.
But neither Qian Feifei nor Mao Yanxia dared to show any of them. Others don’t know the toughness behind Wu’s soft temperament. As a daughter-in-law, how can they not know?
Although they are all daughters-in-law, they knew Lin Wan’s identity and status in the Ye family from the day they met Lin Wan. What did they compare with Lin Wan?
Besides, I saw it a lot, and my heart was a little numb. Even if I had too much emotion in my heart, I still had to coax Lin Wan as much as possible according to Wu.
Of course, as long as Lin Wan doesn't offend Lin Wan, it's easy to coax. In fact, Lin Wan doesn't need them to coax at all. She just needs to accompany Lin Wan to talk about the children and the bustling capital.
Since the three brothers of the Ye family returned to Beijing, Lin Wan has become a binder between sisters-in-law, slowly repairing the cracks between sisters-in-law. In recent years, during festivals, not to mention Ye Qing's family, even Ye Zhan's family would occasionally stay on Moxiang Street.
Although it is inevitable that there will be times when they are not very good at dealing with each other, they will even occasionally fight each other, and they will no longer be cold-eyed or verbally. Of course, Lin Wan never thought that she could completely eliminate the gap between Qian Feifei and Mao Yanxia. As long as the two of them could live on the surface, as a former good sister, Lin Wan felt that she was satisfied.
Wu naturally hoped that the relationship between the three daughters-in-law could return to the past, but she would not force it. After all, she not only felt sorry for the pain Mao Yanxia suffered back then, but also felt sorry for the two grandchildren who were unable to be born.
Since Lin Wan's birth period is getting closer, Qian Feifei and Mao Yanxia have also visited Lin Wan on Moxiang Street. Wu is always worried about the fear that Qian Feifei and Mao Yanxia will get together and have an accident, which will affect Lin Wan.
Fortunately, Qian Feifei and Mao Yanxia seemed to have made an appointment. Although they came diligently, they never met each other. After a while, Wu's heart slowly came to fruition.
The fact is that Wu's guess is not wrong. Although it was not their own agreement that Qian Feifei and Mao Yanxia did not come to Moxiang Street for a day, it was Lin Wan's intentional arrangement.
Although Lin Wan herself was not allowed to say that Qian Feifei and Mao Yanxia had been talking to her, Lin Wan saw Wu's fear of all these days. She couldn't bear to worry about Wu like this, so she made an agreement with Qian Feifei and Mao Yanxia quietly.
In short, Mao Yanxia would not come when Qian Feifei came to Moxiang Street, and vice versa.
It was so peaceful and peaceful that in mid-September, Zhu Lingling brought her little daughter to Moxiang Street on that day.
Lin Zimo stayed in Shu for one term than Ye Shenduo. He returned to the capital two years ago. After returning to the capital, he entered the Ministry of Revenue again. Unexpectedly, he was called the prefect of Jizhou this time.
Because of the special situation in Jizhou, Lin Zimo had just received the transfer document two days ago, yesterday he had already rushed to Jizhou with his close servant.
Lin Zimo and Ye Shen got along a lot, and followed Ye Shen in many aspects, especially in terms of women. There was also a concubine in the former room. Since Lin Zimo personally discovered the little movements of that concubine during Zhu Lingling's pregnancy, she not only sold her concubine and also scattered her room.
If a few families are willing to get married, they will give them a not-so-small dowry for them to marry each other. If they don’t want to get married, they will be sent to the farm to raise them. Anyway, the Lin family has money!
When Lin Zimo learned that he had set off for Jizhou's prefect, Lin Wan looked at Zhu Lingling, who was safe and comfortable: "What about you? Are you staying in the capital?"
Zhu Lingling smiled and said, "My husband said that Jizhou is not very stable now. I am worried about our safety, so I asked Sister Ying and I to spend the New Year in the capital before going to Jizhou to reunite with him."
Lin Wan nodded, this arrangement is not wrong.
"This time the severe drought and turmoil in Jiangnan, the Lin family's business in Jiangnan is probably affected a lot." Thinking of the Lin family's business in Jiangnan, Lin Wan asked.
"That's right, almost every farm in Jiangnan has no grains. Originally, there were some stored grains in the farm. If you took out the stored grains and distributed them to the tenants and sent them to the shops, you could always survive.
But I didn't expect a rebellion. The money in the farm was robbed, and the other two farms were almost burned out.
Fortunately, the Zhuangtou saw the opportunity quickly and saw that the situation was wrong. He hid in the mountains with the people in the village, and the number of casualties was not large.
Compared to the farm, those shops are even worse, and there are almost no ones that are not robbed or burned.
Even if the disaster in Jiangnan will not cause damage to the Lin family, the losses will be great.
If Lord Ye had not been to go in time and make the decision properly, Jiangnan would not have known what chaos would be like today.
Alas, I heard that more than 80% of the riots were local people. You said that rebellion has always been a way of no return. What exactly are they trying to do?”
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.
Before Zhu Lingling brought her daughter in, she was also sentenced to death by Madam Zhang. She thought Zhu Lingling would speak more casually, but she didn't expect that she would talk so much as soon as she spoke.
Madam Zhang was so anxious that she wanted to interrupt her several times, but was stopped by Lin Wan.
Since Lin Wan asked, she hoped that Zhu Lingling could talk more about the situation in Jiangnan.
Since we already knew that Ye Shen and Qi Jun were all safe and sound, and had already set off for the capital, Lin Wan could naturally listen to the things about Jiangnan calmly.
Zhu Lingling was thirsty and picked up the tea and took a sip. Finally, she realized from Madam Zhang's expression that she seemed to be talking too much today. She couldn't help feeling embarrassed. She thought for a while and added: "I heard from my husband that Lord Ye has already rushed back first. I guess the two sides can meet in Qizhou."
Lin Wan nodded: "It's not too long, maybe it's closer to the capital."
Zhu Lingling paused slightly in her heart, looked at Lin Wan, then looked at Lin Wan's scary belly, and burst out laughing: "Yes, Lord Ye is so heartbroken!"
"Your old man is afraid that the Lin family will feel distressed when they have suffered such a huge loss in Jiangnan." Lin Wan gave Zhu Lingling a look, ignored her jokes, and still focused on the Lin family's industry in Jiangnan.
The old man of the Lin family mentioned by Lin Wan was actually Mr. Lin from that time.
Mr. Lin from Qingzhou City passed away when Lin Zimo was still out of Shu, and the Lin family in Qingzhou City split up.
Although Lin Zimo's branch was the eldest son, because Lin Zimo was in the career of officialdom, when he split up, he only had the Lin family business south of the capital, and gave up the position of head of the Lin family to Lin Zimo's second uncle.
Now, Mr. Lin is addicted to women and is not so thoughtful about business.
Back then, when Lin Zimo was released, Old Master Lin seemed to have grown up overnight, and sent his concubines and concubines back to Qingzhou as if he had grown up overnight, and almost put his whole body and mind in the business world.
Business in Shu has blossomed in full swing, and business in Jiangnan has reached countless levels.
After the family was split, the concubines who were willing to leave Qingzhou were scattered to Shu and Jiangnan, so that these concubines would become the managers of Zhuangzi's shop.
Over the past few years, Lin Zimo's branch not only did not tighten its money due to the division, but instead lived a richer life than before.
For Lin Zimo's branch, Jiangnan's business should be quite large. If you suffer such huge losses, you can guess that Mr. Lin must be bleeding in his heart.
"It is inevitable that I feel distressed. After hearing the news that Lord Ye and Prince Lin pacified Jiangnan, they quarreled to go to Henan. The husband took a lot of talk to persuade him to wait patiently for more than a month. But when he learned that his husband was going to be the prefect of Jizhou, he followed his husband to Jiangnan without saying a word!" When talking about the old man at home, Zhu Lingling was moved and shook her head.
When Lin Wan heard that the old man of the Lin family had already followed Lin Zimo to the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Wan was stunned. She didn't expect that Mr. Lin was now a half-century person, and she was as energetic as a young man.
Seeing that Lin Wan was a little stunned, Zhu Lingling pursed her lips and finally couldn't help asking: "Speaking of this, the Lin family is in the Jiangnan restaurant, restaurants and inns use the wine from your Ye Family Brewery. I wonder how the Ye Family is in the Jiangnan winery now?"
Although Wu was not willing to let Lin Wan worry, Lin Wan knew the situation of the Ye family in the orchard and winery outside Jizhou City. He heard Zhu Lingling ask and smiled and said, "Although the orchard harvest this year is extremely poor and the new wine production has dropped sharply, there are still wines from the Lin family. Even if there is not enough wine in Jiangnan winery, if it doesn't work, there are wineries in Beijing and Shu, just think of a way to mix them."
Lin Wan's words are not all truth, they are half true and half false.
It’s not that she deliberately kept it from Zhu Lingling that every business has its own secrets.
There are not many Ye family, but there are more Lin family!
Since the opening of the winery in Jiangnan, the Ye family’s winery in Jiangnan has been following Lin Wan’s suggestion that the wine sold out every year only accounts for 60% of the annual output, and the remaining 40% are sent to the cave on the cliff behind the winery to be hidden in the current cave.
This collection lasted for five years. The first batch of Jiangnan wines that had been stored for five years were on the market in Beijing, which made the Ye family profit.
With this good start, the wine stored in the cellar increased from 40% to 50% or even 60% each year.
The Ye family's orchard in Jiangnan is expanding. With the increasing number of fruit trees during the fruit-bearing and fruit-bearing period, the output of the winery has been increasing repeatedly. Therefore, increasing cellar storage will not affect the sales of Ye family's fruit wine in Jiangnan.
This time when Qi Jun and his friends returned to Beijing, they would bring the five-year-old cellar wine back to the capital.
Although there are losses and considerable transportation costs during transportation, the wine hidden in the cave in Jiangnan has a brighter appearance and an indescribable sense of heaviness, and the taste is more mellow and intoxicating.
There is no shortage of rich people in the capital. Since the launch of the cellar wine in Jiangnan, it has been sought after by the upper class aristocrats. At the beginning of every year, someone comes to the door with gold to ask for orders. From the first year of listing, it is snatched and empty until the second year of listing.
Originally, this kind of five-year-old wine would arrive in the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. This year, Jiangnan was in chaos and thought that I would not be able to drink this year. A few days ago, Linjiu and Liquor Store posted a notice that as long as you have paid a deposit at the beginning of the year, you will make up for it all on the tenth day of the winter month.
Of course, Zhu Lingling's concerns are not unreasonable. The severe drought in Jiangnan caused a sharp drop in alcohol production. All the newly brewed wine is only enough to be sent to caves and stored. All kinds of fruit wines supplied to Jiangnan must be transferred from other places to Jiangnan.
When Lin Wan learned of the severe drought in Jiangnan, she discussed with Ye Damin and made a decision. Not only did she mix bartending from Shu, she also asked Lin Shiba to rush to Qingzhou to transfer the wine from Qingzhou to the capital in advance. When Ye Shen went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, the wine from Beijing gradually began to be mixed in the direction of Jiangnan.
Although such operation costs are very high, this must be done in order to ensure the quantity and quality of the wine stored in the cellar.
Lin Wan was also very helpless about this. Who asked the cave to recognize wine?
After discovering the cave, Lin Wan asked someone to try to hide wine inside, and the results of the experiment were surprising and speechless.
Only the wines produced in the cellars are more mellow than those produced in Jiangnan. Although the wines transported from other places can become more mellow, the effect is far worse.
After trying a few batches, Lin Wan did not waste any more of that. From then on, only local fruit wine produced in the cave behind Jizhou winery was cellar.
In the first two years, almost all the fruit wines were shipped to the capital. In the past two years, a little was sold in Jiangnan. The price was not lower than that in Beijing, so the profit was naturally more than that in Beijing. This is also the reason why the Ye family's orchard area outside Jizhou City is getting larger and larger.
