Chapter 1292: Chapter 404 Yanyan Is Injured and Kidnapped_2

Mo Yan didn’t think twice before she replied, "I’ll make sure to tell Chang’an about this."

Although these two were not graced with marriage by imperial decree, Chang’an Commandery Princess had long since considered Yan Junyu her own. In the past, people would propose marriage alliances for Yan Junyu, considering the power and wealth of Duke Wu’an’s Mansion, but ever since Chang’an Commandery Princess’s intentions were "unintentionally" leaked, no one dared to entertain the thought of proposing to Yan Junyu anymore—nobody wanted to risk the whip of the Chang’an Commandery Princess.

Yan Junyu had always used his lack of intention to start a family as an excuse to drag out the palace’s two arranged marriages. Now, if Chang’an Commandery Princess heard this, she might just take the opportunity to rush to the palace and seek an Imperial Edict for marriage.

Yan Junyu’s face changed, he glared at Mo Yan and gritted his teeth, "We’re supposed to be in a friendly business partnership, and yet you’ve taken that brat’s side wholeheartedly."

Mo Yan spread her hands and smiled brilliantly, "Anyway, the winery is built and its reputation established. If you back out of our partnership, I won’t lose anything! Chang’an has already said if you don’t want the seventy percent profit from the winery, just let me know, and she will take over at any time without requiring me to compensate you with silver."

At these words, Yan Junyu felt so frustrated he could cough up blood. Just as he was about to respond, he caught a glimpse of a reddish figure out of the corner of his eye. His face instantly turned pale, and without even a greeting, he rushed off in haste, leaving Guan Yu chasing behind, unable to catch up.

Mo Yan was bewildered until she saw the Chang’an Commandery Princess whisk past her in pursuit, then she understood and shook her head, "This feuding pair, when will they ever resolve their differences."

Xiao Ruiyuan rubbed her head, "Never mind them, let’s get you home."

Just as Mo Yan was about to agree, a person hurried out from the Prince’s Mansion, bowed respectfully to the two of them, and then whispered something into Xiao Ruiyuan’s ear.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression changed, and he looked at Mo Yan with some difficulty, obviously no longer able to take her home.

Knowing something urgent must have come up that she wasn’t aware of, Mo Yan waved her hands urgingly, "You go ahead with your business, it’s broad daylight, I can go back by myself, it’s not too far."

Xiao Ruiyuan wanted to spend more time with her and was also uneasy about her going back alone, but the situation was urgent and he couldn’t afford any delay. He only managed to give Mo Yan a few words of caution before he and Xiao Eleven hastily entered the Prince’s Mansion.

Watching Xiao Ruiyuan’s figure disappear, Mo Yan felt a vague sense of worry. She silently got into her carriage and slowly headed towards the North gate.

Xuetuan inside the Space saw that Mo Yan was unhappy and quickly spoke to divert her attention, "Yanyan, take a look at how many orders there are and calculate how much silver we can make this time."

Mo Yan perked up at the mention and took out several sheets of paper from her sleeve, checking names against the number of boxes ordered. Seeing that the largest order was for twenty boxes and the smallest order for three, she couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement, "Such expensive wine, and yet there are people who buy so much at once; these officials really don’t lack silver to spend, do they!"

"It’s because you made a smart move by leveraging Chu Heng’s influence; the results wouldn’t be this good otherwise," Xuetuan analyzed.

Which minister isn’t shrewd? Regardless of the quality of the wine from Mo family winery, the fact that it caught the eye of Chu Heng, Crown Prince, and that he praised it personally is enough for them to buy a couple of boxes even if they don’t drink it.

Moreover, there were several varieties of fruit wine tasted at the banquet, and there was bound to be one variety that won their hearts. These people, not lacking a few hundreds of taels of silver, would find it appropriate to buy a few boxes as gifts. Using the name of the Crown Prince and the Legitimate Imperial Grandson to justify the gift also adds considerable prestige to the act.

Mo Yan was well aware of this logic and gradually let go of her worries about Xiao Ruiyuan, beginning to tally the accounts with great interest.

In total, all the orders added up to over two thousand three hundred boxes. The boxes were made of split bamboo strips and were as beautifully durable as the bottles, each with matching patterns. Each bamboo box could hold six bottles of wine, and each bottle, after deducting the weight of the bottle, had a net weight of one catty. At present, the price of the wine was set at five ounces of silver per bottle for medium-grade wine and six taels for top-grade wine, which meant that just the wine from today’s two thousand-plus boxes amounted to over eighty thousand taels.

According to market prices, the cost of the fruit wine came to nearly three taels of silver, but in reality, apart from sugar, the fruit used for brewing was produced by Mo’s Fruit Garden and did not cost any silver, greatly saving on production costs. While substantial human and material resources were invested, these costs were negligible compared to the substantial profits.
