On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Today is Murong Yan's birthday, so he has issued an edict to hold a banquet for all the ministers in Linde Hall at noon to celebrate the occasion and to grant amnesty to the whole country.

There is no curfew at night and no ban on business during the day. Even the prisoners behind bars are allowed to eat meat to show the emperor's great grace.

Lin Zhenxian sent the butler to tell Lin Zhen to arrive at the banquet on time and not to miss the time.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen agreed in his heart, and returned to the room with Huanbi.

Liu Shuyao and Xiao Cui had not gotten up yet and were hiding in the bedroom, whispering something. Lin Zhen didn't care at all.

It's nothing more than secretly denouncing one's own behavior and fantasizing about the day when one will be redeemed.

Under Huanbi's skillful hands, Lin Zhen opened her arms and slowly put on the complicated and gorgeous dress, with three layers inside and three layers outside, like a flower blooming in the morning light.

The golden crown shines brightly, setting off the young face; the jade dragon pendant hanging around the waist sways gently with her steps, emitting a warm luster.

Wearing a pair of red riding boots inlaid with emerald green jade, every step she took exuded the style of an aristocrat.

The whole person dressed up, he looked a bit like the young Jia Baoyu who walked out of the book, gentle as jade, and noble.

In fact, Lin Zhen disliked this kind of dressing the most. He always felt that it was a bit effeminate and not as comfortable as the polo suits or executive jackets he wore to work in the future.

Besides, it is summer now and it is extremely hot during the day. Many times, Lin Zhen would rather go out shirtless, let alone wear such heavy clothes.

Lin Zhen watched Huanbi kneeling on the ground, slowly stuffing the excess trouser legs into her shoes, and said impatiently, "Bi'er, is that enough? This is enough to wear through the winter."

"The prince is making a scene again. Today is His Majesty's birthday, how can he dress casually?" After finishing, Huanbi stood up, clapped her hands, and said proudly, "Alright! The prince is definitely the most handsome among all the civil and military officials in the court today!"

Lin Zhen curled his lips helplessly, thinking that she was still a young girl after all.

What’s the point of being handsome or not?

The most important thing for a man is talent! Do you understand talent?

Although I am indeed quite handsome.

"Sir, I still want to tell you one more thing. Today is His Majesty's birthday banquet, and it's different from usual. You must not cause trouble, otherwise the master will be angry when he comes back!"

"I know, I know." She was nagging like a wife even before she was married. Lin Zhen waved his hand, left in gorgeous clothes, and then gathered the two generals Heng and Ha in the guard camp and went out.

The streets are very lively today, with the cries of vendors, the cheers of performers, the giggles of prostitutes, and the roars of peddlers, all echoing incessantly.

It seemed that only today did Lin Zhen fully experience the vivid ancient times.

Hou Chun, Er Gou, and Han Zhong followed Lin Zhen. The four of them were well-dressed and dressed elegantly, parading through the streets like gang bosses collecting protection money. The common people kept their distance, fearing they might offend such a distinguished figure.

Lin Zhen went straight to the casino.

Zhang Li wanted to take advantage of the popularity of Murong Yan's birthday party, so she set the date for the casino to reopen today.

At this time, there were already crowds of people outside the casino, all gathered around a large sign in front of the door to look at it.

"The Gambling King? Is there really such a king?"

"Is this true? I want to sign up! I want to be the gambling king!"

"Mom, mom, look! Who said gambling is useless? Now the imperial court has acknowledged that there is a gambling king!"

"Wife, give me all the money in the house, and I'll bet a prince for you!"

"Dad, let's go together! As the saying goes, father and son fight together. If we win the gambling king title, the honor will be shared equally between us!"

Everyone is full of expectations for this new prince. After all, this is the best way for people from the lower class to enter the upper class!

Many people have already started to get ready to show their skills.

It was not yet the auspicious time for the opening, so Zhang Li did not show up. Only Xiao Wu and Awen were maintaining order at the door.

Lin Zhen entered the casino through a small door and found that it had been decorated. There was a red carpet on the floor that extended all the way to the second floor.

The dealer, wearing a shirt embroidered with the word "hero", was standing behind all the gambling tables.

There is no such thing as beautiful dealers yet, so Lin Zhen plans to replace them all one day. After all, beautiful women wearing revealing clothes can attract more customers. It would be boring to have a bunch of rough men with fingers like rolling pins to roll the dice.

Zhang Li was standing behind a huge counter, wearing a lavender long dress, looking elegant and graceful.

This dress was specially given to her by Lin Zhen and is very valuable.

You should know that in ancient times, purple was the most respected color because purple dye was the most difficult to obtain.

Seeing Lin Zhen coming over, Zhang Li put down her brush and said with a smile, "Prince! You are here."

"Well, the atmosphere outside looks pretty good."

Zhang Li's eyebrows trembled with excitement. "Exactly what I said! This move by the gambling king is the greatest maneuver I've ever seen! Now, it's not just the capital, gamblers from the surrounding counties are all flocking here. The casino competition is about to begin!"

"Not only do we need to prepare for the gambling king's affairs, we also need to focus on taking care of individual customers. We need to lower the interest rates on loans so that everyone can afford to borrow money. As for how to collect the money, I don't care."

As the saying goes, "A man of kindness cannot command the army, and a man of righteousness cannot command wealth." If you have a kind heart, don't get involved in the underworld, as it involves many shady and cruel practices.

Lin Zhen has no sympathy for those who are addicted to gambling, so he doesn't care about these things.

"Don't worry, my lord. I won't have to worry about it."

"Well, I have to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet at noon, so I won't be able to attend the opening ceremony. You can make your own arrangements. Also, I suspect the Gu family will target you, so remember to have the people from the Tiger Guard Battalion present and don't leave their sight."

"Okay, Prince! All up to you~" Zhang Li deliberately stretched out her voice and acted coquettishly. Lin Zhen's heart suddenly began to beat fast and he touched his nose awkwardly.

He is an old scumbag, but he was actually charmed by this virgin girl. It's really embarrassing.

On the other hand, Zhang Li was smiling foolishly in her heart. She really liked seeing Lin Zhen's helpless expression.

"How's the carriage thing going?"

"Everything will be in place in two days, and you can lead your horses into the city."

"That's good. Once everything is back on track, I'll start teasing Gu Beichen!"

......

Lin Zhen knew that the Gu family's businesses were spread all over the country, including cloth, grain, jewelry, pawnshops, illegal salt, iron ore, catering, and so on.

Compared with the noble Lin family, the Gu family is just a wealthy and corrupt family of profiteers.

To deal with them, we must start with the industry they care about most, disintegrate them bit by bit from the root, and finally turn them into an empty shell.

As long as the Gu family loses its pillar industry, its collapse is only a matter of time.

Gu Beichen wants to turn me into a human pig, but doesn't he know that I have the same intention?
