On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The fat man ate four steamed buns by himself and still felt it was not enough. He broke the last steamed bun and rubbed it on the plate like a rag several times until there was no meat left. He swallowed it reluctantly.

At last he smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, Lao Lin, hurry up and get some more food. Fatty isn't even full yet."

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

"Don't be anxious." Lin Zhen stopped Lin An, "I have something to discuss with you."

"Why can't we talk about it after Fatty is full?"

"If this thing is accomplished, you can eat whatever you want in the future, even if it's meat and fish every day, it's no problem!"

"Really?" The fat man's big eyes were full of golden light.

His father, Wang Tienan, was Lin Zhenxian's adopted son. Not only did he inherit his martial arts and temperament from the old man, but he was also poor.

The conditions of the two families are similar, but Wang Tienan has the advantage that he does not need to pay out of his own pocket to take care of the soldiers, so his life is better than that of the Wang family.

Even so, Fatty couldn't eat whatever he wanted, he had to obey his family's arrangements. So he was always reluctant to go home and always ate at Lin Zhen's place.

Lu Dehao was different from him. Duke Xun Guo Lu Qingxin's family had cloth and grain businesses, and his family was well-off. He was also the wealthiest among the three.

Lin Zhen laid out his plan in full: "This is what I'm planning to do. I'm going to set up a carriage company in the capital."

After hearing this, both of them looked at each other in confusion.

"Company? What is that?"

"Yes, brother, please explain it clearly."

Lin Zhen said, "You don't need to know what a company is. To put it simply, the three of us will contribute money together, 500 taels of silver each. After three months, I will give each of you 50 taels of silver as dividends every month."

The fat man began to count on his fingers: "Fifty taels a month...that's not much."

Lu Dehao also said it was boring.

"Brother, your business is far inferior to ours. Our shopkeeper Hao sells northern and southern cloth, and his monthly turnover is over a thousand taels of silver."

"What do you know?" Lin Zhen had to patiently explain to them.

"Fifty taels a month, six hundred taels a year, six thousand taels in ten years! As long as the company survives, you can enjoy an income of fifty taels a month forever, and even pass it down to generations. And your investment is only five hundred taels. Isn't this a great deal?"

Lin Zhen didn't give them a chance to speak and continued, "And this is just the capital. There are many cities in Daqian with populations over 300,000. We can increase our investment in the future, and your dividends will be even greater."

"Ah? Forever?"

"Brother, are you serious?"

According to Lin Zhen's calculations, the investment can be recovered in less than a year, and from then on it will be pure profit, fifty taels per month.

How could two people with no business acumen resist such temptation?

For a moment, Fatty and Lu Dehao were both tempted. Besides, five hundred taels was not a lot of money. If they talked to their families, they would definitely be able to get it.

Only the chief steward Lin An looked at his nose and his nose at his mouth like an old monk in meditation.

Lin Zhen said firmly: "Of course, and we are brothers, so let's settle accounts clearly. As long as you agree, we will sign the contract."

Lu Dehao is a useless guy who has no knowledge and can do nothing except spending money.

When his family suddenly heard that he needed money for business, wouldn't they be overjoyed? They immediately said, "Okay! I'll listen to you, big brother. I'll go back and get the money right away!"

"Okay!" The fat man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go take care of the casino business first, and then I'll go back and discuss it with Dad."

"Then it's a deal!"

The three of them hit it off and left one after another.

Lin Zhen was about to go to the side courtyard to see Zhang Li, but just as he stood up, Lin An called out, "Prince."

"Ok?"

"Five hundred taels of silver isn't a small amount, is it? Should we discuss this with the master?"

Lin Zhen smiled and waved his hand, then walked out without even turning his head, saying, "Okay, go ahead and tell him. Grandfather agreed to send the money to my bedroom later."

"Ah?" Lin An was a little puzzled.

In the past, it was difficult for Lin Zhen to ask Lin Zhenxian for five taels of silver. What happened today?

How could he be so sure that Lin Zhenxian would agree?

This confidence...

Something's wrong, there's something wrong!

There is definitely a problem!

The prince seems to be different from before!

......

There were two maids standing at the door of the side courtyard. Lin Zhen didn't know them, but they knew Lin Zhen.

Seeing his master coming, he immediately bowed with a smile.

"Sir."

The little girl named Qingwen kept flirting with Lin Zhen, making the latter feel a little embarrassed.

Life is hard in the big mansion.

No matter whether they are maids or palace maids, their greatest hope is to become the master's concubine so that they can become the master themselves.

If she cannot become a concubine, she will have to marry a servant in the mansion in the future, or when she reaches a certain age, the master will arrange a blind date for her with someone from outside the mansion.

However, most families are unwilling to marry a woman who has worked as a maid.

Because there are so many dirty things happening in wealthy families, no one knows whether the person they marry is a first-hand one.

After all, you can’t do a physical examination before marriage.

Lin Zhen's reputation was not very good to begin with, and he was the best opportunity for the maids to rise up and sing songs of serfs.

"Is there anything unusual in there?"

"My Lord, that woman was very quiet and there was nothing unusual about her."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"Hehe, it is my blessing to be able to work for the prince~"

"Forehead..."

Wow, he didn’t even call her a slave, but directly changed her to a concubine.

How much do you want to get promoted?

Lin Zhen looked at Qingwen and felt that she looked very much like someone he had met before, but without thinking much about it, he pushed the door and walked into the yard.

It had been half a day, and Zhang Li still refused to eat or drink, looking like she was on a hunger strike. Lin Zhen sat at the table and watched her.

"I just came back from the palace. His Majesty has promised to give me the Yuanda Casino. If you are willing to be loyal to me, you will still be the owner of the casino in the future."

Zhang Li looked as if she had heard some extraordinary news, her face filled with disbelief: "Your Majesty promised you?"

"Yes."

Zhang Li thought about it, then sneered: "Oh, you are the prince of the palace, do you think it's fun to lie to a woman like me like this?"

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it. The casino has been taken over by my people, and the Gu family has gradually withdrawn from it."

Seeing Lin Zhen's confident look, Zhang Li also felt nervous.

Could it be that the Gu family lost this game so quickly?

This is too much nonsense. After all, the Gu family is the only family in Daqian that can compete with the Wang Mansion. The emperor will not be so stupid as to help the Wang Mansion and hurt the Gu family.

There is only one explanation, Lin Zhen lied!

"Okay, I'll go with you. What if the casino doesn't belong to you?"

"What do you propose?"

"I want you to take me back home and explain the situation to Master Gu in person."

"No problem, I promise you."

After all, with the halo of the protagonist, Zhang Li still has some fantasies about Gu Beichen in her heart.

So Lin Zhen was not surprised by her request.

"What if the casino belongs to me?"

Zhang Li, a true heroine, said bluntly, "I am willing to be loyal to you, and whatever you want to do to me in the future... is fine."

"Good! She's worthy of being the woman I like."

Lin Zhen stood up and extended his hand to lead the way out the door: "Please come in."
