On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

"Alas." Murong Yan sighed softly and held her embroidered eyebrows. "Even if I know that Lin Zhen deliberately misled me, so what? My words are not to be trifled with. Once I have spoken, I cannot change them."

"That's not the case. I suspect that no matter whether it's Prime Minister Gu or Judge Gu, as long as Your Majesty shows even a little kindness, they will be grateful!"

Murong Yan's eyes lit up, and then she smiled and said, "That makes sense. Send someone to the Gu family to announce my decree and tell them that I'm going to their house for dinner tonight."

"Yes!"

Very good!

As long as Your Majesty is willing to go to the Gu family, you will be able to meet Judge Gu!

He is so handsome, even when he is scolding people, he is still so handsome, and even when he is wearing gauze.

Unlike that dandy fellow from the Lin family, who looks like a traitor.

Huanhuan happily went out to prepare, but Murong Yan suddenly remembered something and shouted again, "Come back!"

"His Majesty!"

"Is Taniguchi Mitsuru still kneeling?"

"Yes, His Majesty did not order him to come in."

"Let him in and wait in the Council Hall."

"Yes."

Leave slowly.

Murong Yan stared at the bronze mirror in front of her, looking left and right, gradually relaxing her voice and revealing the charming look of a little girl.

"Alas, such a beautiful face, I wonder which stinky man will be the one to take it away."

Murong Yan's mind unconsciously appeared Gu Beichen's handsome face.

Then he smiled faintly and shook his head, putting the impossible thought behind him.

She looked at herself again and said slowly: "Father, my daughter is so tired."

"My daughter really doesn't want to be emperor anymore."

......

When Lin Zhen returned home, dinner was already prepared in the kitchen.

It is called dinner, but in fact it is lunch. It was normal for the ancients to have two meals a day.

The meals in the palace were very simple. Even the prince only had four dishes in one meal, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, plus a few steamed buns and a bowl of soup.

Although it is small, it is exquisite.

Instead of cooking a cabbage properly, he carved it into a peony flower and placed it on the plate. It can be seen that he put a lot of thought into it.

In ancient times when there was no technology and no hard work, the food was far less delicious than in later times, and the variety of dishes was not as rich as in later times.

But Lin Zhen had never eaten such natural and pollution-free vegetables before, and now it tastes like this and has a unique flavor.

Lin Zhen sat at the dining table and ate heartily, devouring everything in his path, like a glutton.

Just when we were enjoying our meal, Fatty and Lu Dehao came in.

At the same time, Huanbi came in with some tea for cleansing the mouth. Seeing that Lin Zhen was eating happily, she gently massaged his back.

"Prince, please eat slowly. No one is trying to snatch it from you."

"Hmm..." Lin Zhen chewed his steamed buns and spoke vaguely: "You came at the right time."

The fat man sat down on the chair and reached out to grab the chicken leg to eat, just like he was at home, without any courtesy at all.

Lu Dehao was somewhat polite. He first smiled at Lin Zhen, and then snatched another chicken leg.

"Brother, just tell me what's going on."

"His Majesty has ordered the Gu family to give me the Yuanda Casino. You should take people to take it over and suspend operations for a few days."

"Ah? Big brother, that's the lifeblood of the Gu family. How did you do it?"

"Yes, big brother, Gu Yunting will never give up."

"Don't worry about this, just do as I say. Also, Huanbi, where is the girl I sent back?"

Huanbi said, "You are talking about the injured woman, right? She has been placed in the side room by my servants."

"Did she say anything?"

"No, she stayed in her room by herself when she came back and didn't come out for a whole day."

Lin Zhen nodded, opened his mouth and took a sip of the tea that Huanbi fed him, then rinsed his mouth and spit it into the porcelain basin.

"Well, send someone to take care of it. Don't worry too much. Just try to meet any needs."

"Yes." Huanbi was still a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Prince, who is she?"

"Someone who means a lot to me."

Is it important...

Huanbi felt a little jealous.

I have served the prince for so many years, but I have never heard him say such touching words to me.

A girl’s thoughts are like the pistil of a crabapple flower, soft and tender yet full of infinite charm.

Lin Zhen caught her distracted look, smiled, and held her hand.

"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Lin Zhen stood up and scratched her delicate nose. "I don't need to tell you who the person next to you is, right?"

"Oh, Prince..." An intimate gesture made Huanbi forget everything. She looked at the two brothers who were eating and drinking awkwardly, and put on a shy expression.

Lin Zhen said, "Okay, go tell the butler to bring the account book over. I have something to ask him."

"Yes."

Huanbi left, and soon the palace steward Lin An entered the courtyard with the account books.

Lin Zhen was writing something at this time.

"Sir."

"Lao Lin is here, come and sit down."

Lin An was a little flattered.

"I dare not. May I ask why the prince is so anxious to ask me to come here?"

"Give me your account book."

Lin An's hands trembled, and he hesitated for a moment: "Sir, there really isn't much money left in the mansion, you must not..."

"Alright, alright, what are you talking about?"

Since he refused to listen to nice words, Lin Zhen had no choice but to act like a playboy and snatch the account book from Lin An's hand.

This is this year's account book, which clearly records all the expenses of the Lin Mansion.

On the first day of the first lunar month, purchases amounted to 440 taels and banquets amounted to 160 taels.

On the fifth day of March, the military pay of the Huben Camp was compensated with 3,600 taels.

On May 20th, the prince’s birthday, the banquet cost 340 taels.

The more he looked back, the more shocked Lin Zhen was.

The seemingly powerful Regent's Palace was so poor that it didn't even have 5,000 taels of silver on its balance sheet.

The whole family depended on the court's salary and taxes from the fiefdom to survive.

Last year, in order to compensate the fallen soldiers, Lin Zhenxian sold his ancestral property. Now his life is becoming increasingly difficult.

If he doesn't find a way to make money, even Lin Zhenxian will have to starve.

Oh no, this is North China. There's only southeast wind, no northwest wind.

okay.

This is exactly in line with the saying: so poor that you can't even drink the northwest wind.

I don't know what this resounding old man is thinking. Can being honest and upright earn you a living? Can it be used as money to support your family?

He also disdains to get involved in business affairs.

Which big family must support a few businessmen, otherwise what will the whole family eat and drink?

The palace covers a huge area and has nearly three hundred maids and servants. It is not a small family. How can it go on like this?

Lin Zhen thought about it and decided that he had to find a way to make a fortune.

Corruption is definitely not an option. If I am caught by the old man, he will beat me to death, although this is not a big mistake in my eyes.

Because even if there is no corruption, the money will not reach the hands of ordinary people.

It’s better to do business steadily.

In later life, Lin Zhen knew several company bosses and knew a little bit about this aspect.

First, open a taxi company, monopolize the taxi industry chain in Beijing, and then gradually control other industries.

There are still three months before the invasion of Nanchu, and we must accumulate a lot of money.

Otherwise, if the war gets intense and there is no food, the Lin family will be doomed.
