Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Nearly ten days later, in Lucheng, the sound of firecrackers was deafening. Zhao Junning's Junzi Restaurant opened. The restaurant was large and beautiful, but until the evening, there were only three or four customers. It continued like this for five days, but Zhao Junning did not take it to heart and told the waiters not to slack off.

"Boss Zhao's store is really good." Zhao Junning heard the voice and turned around to see Yang Chuanli, followed by a woman and a child, "Brother Yang." Zhao Junning greeted him happily. Yang Chuanli smiled and said, "My sister-in-law and I heard that you opened a store, so we rushed here without stopping. Do you welcome us?" Zhao Junning replied, "Welcome, of course." Then he called softly, "Uncle Liu, take the others to the second floor." Liu Cheng stepped forward and said, "Follow me."

At this time, "Boss Zhao, good luck with the opening of the store. Am I late?" He knew who it was without turning around. "Since you are here, there is naturally a vacant seat. Please go upstairs." Li Ziyan approached Zhao Junning and said, "Madam, are you so serious? You have worked hard these days. Today, I have brought you a big customer. Do you have a reward?"

Zhao Junning said shyly: "Not serious. Come up quickly!" The open space in the middle consists of four pools. The restaurant is an oval, surrounding the pools. The open space in the middle of the pools is occupied by musicians, dancers, and beautiful flowers. Zhao Junning also went up to the second floor. Yang Chuanli's wife Lu Siyu praised: "Boss Zhao's restaurant is well run, the layout is beautiful and generous, and I don't think there is any waste."

Zhao Junning nodded and said, "Sister-in-law is right. This Zhuangzi is a place of literati and scholars, and the beautiful women are talented, but I am uncomfortable." Yang Chuanli clinked glasses with Li Ziyan and said, "My sister-in-law is getting more and more powerful. Who says women can't do it? Qiaoqiao, in today's world, how many men can't do it well, can't do it, and dare not do it, but are arranged perfectly by women."

Li Ziyan drank the wine and said, "Yes, how wonderful! My wife is unique in the world."

Thinking back to the days before the store opened, "Young lady? Are you worried?" At night, when the lights were on, Li Ziyan saw Zhao Junning sitting at the table thinking for a long time without saying a word, so he walked up and squatted in front of Zhao Junning and asked. Zhao Junning looked down at Li Ziyan and said, "Now that the food shop is well managed, I'm thinking that if we open the store now, the grain in the grain shop outside the shop will not be available." Li Ziyan smiled and said, "So you are worried about this matter? I thought something big happened and left me alone." Zhao Junning was ashamed and angry: "Not serious."

Li Ziyan continued, "Actually, my lady, you are so smart that you should have a complete plan. The grain store and the food store are not in the same place and are quite far away from each other. What are you afraid of? My lady, you opened the food store because you thought it was the right time. Shunqiu Restaurant, the best restaurant in the whole East City, closed down. My lady, you opened the store at this time. You have thought it through and don't worry about it.

Didn't you read the letter yesterday? Didn't Dad say that Wen He and his men came by boat? They will probably arrive in a few days. Boats are faster than riding horses across the state."

Zhao Junning lowered her head and said nothing. Li Ziyan held Zhao Junning's face and said, "Look at your sad face again. Boss Zhao, you have managed it so well, what are you worried about? Don't worry, open it. I think it will be full that day." Zhao Junning thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, you are right, then I will open the store the day after tomorrow."

"Young lady? Are you happy now that the restaurant is open?" Li Ziyan asked as he sat next to Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning smiled and nodded: "Happy, we made a profit of fifty taels today."

Li Ziyan smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, let's go to sleep? Or?" Then he picked up Zhao Junning and walked to the bed. He gently put her down and slowly moved closer to Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning leaned back and said, "What are you doing?"

Then he said, "I'm not ready yet, how about you wait a little longer?" Li Ziyan leaned close to Zhao Junning and pecked her lips gently, then sat up and took off her shoes. He then helped Zhao Junning take off her shoes. Zhao Junning hurriedly said, "Ziyan, wait a little longer. I...wait until I'm ready."

Then he asked tentatively: "I'll take the initiative then, okay?" Li Ziyan said nothing, but helped Zhao Junning take off her outer robe and outer shirt, leaving only her inner clothes. Zhao Junning quickly got into bed and curled up. Li Ziyan stood up and blew out the candles without saying a word. Zhao Junning thought: This is over, you're not going to force me, are you? I can't bear it!

Zhao Junning held onto the quilt tightly to prevent Li Ziyan from pulling it away. Li Ziyan pulled the quilt several times but Zhao Junning held on tightly. He said helplessly and lovingly, "My dear, you hold onto the quilt. Why don't I cover myself with it?"

Zhao Junning responded in a low voice: "Ah?" Then he loosened the quilt and leaned in. Li Ziyan pulled him back into his arms. Zhao Junning hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute?"

Li Ziyan turned over and pressed on Zhao Junning, looking at her with a teasing look, as if he was looking at a piece of rare jade. Zhao Junning became more and more nervous, and Li Ziyan couldn't help but smile, laughing softly.

Li Ziyan scratched Zhao Junning's nose and said, "Silly girl, I said I couldn't bear it after a month, but didn't I also say that it would only work if you were willing? Don't worry, if you don't want to, I'll force myself to do it and feel satisfied, but it will scare my girl and I won't be happy. I'm not in a hurry. We still have a long time to live together, so there's no rush for this moment. As long as you like me more every day and remember me all the time, that's enough."

Zhao Junning nodded slightly. Li Ziyan turned around and hugged Zhao Junning: "Did I scare you just now? Indeed, I was too reckless just now, but it's also my fault that you look different and beautiful every day, making me like you a little more every time I see you. I can't get enough of your love."

Zhao Junning asked, "So you don't like it?"

Li Ziyan shook his head: "I like it. I like my wife no matter what she is like." Then he sighed: "Such a great treasure can not only make money, but also know medical skills, is proficient in reading and writing, and is smart and can take care of me. Who has such a good treasure? Only I, Li Ziyan, have it."

Zhao Junning was a little shy: "I'm so good, why didn't you like me in the first place?"

Li Ziyan answered seriously: "We just met, who would like someone right after meeting? And you beat me, and you were only fourteen years old at that time. You were so young and you beat me. I was furious. I just wanted to embarrass you. Who knew that you are not the kind of girl who follows the rules? I feel different about you. But I really didn't think about marrying you. I thought I would take responsibility and divorce you later. Who knew that you cried and made a fuss that night and even drove me out of the house.

Later, the way you managed me made me feel different and attractive, and you were also gifted in making money. The main thing is that you have a good attitude and perseverance. You should have heard what my mother said that we in the Li family will not fall in love at first sight, but will fall in love over time.

If I divorce such a good girl like you, how many families will benefit? Especially since you liked Lin Muchen when you were a child, Lin Muchen has been more talented than me since he was a child, and you were also a girl with great literary talent at that time, so I will not divorce you. "

Zhao Junning listened and said, "So you feel a sense of crisis because of Brother Mu Chen?"

Li Ziyan nodded with a heavy breath, "Yes, when I saw you and Lin Muchen talking and laughing, I felt so... sour. I guess I was jealous."

After talking for a while, he looked down and saw that Zhao Junning had fallen asleep in Li Ziyan's arms. Li Ziyan smiled softly, "Were you a cat or a fox in your previous life? You're so tempting, but luckily I can control myself."
