Lin Ziyi: "The game has just begun"

There are three largest restaurants in the capital, one is Tianxianglou opened by Qian Yi. At first hearing the name, I thought it was a brothel.

But it is indeed a restaurant, there is not even a ditty singer, but there are so many people, and even make an appointment in advance.

Moreover, the appointment is not based on identity but only on money, so no one can jump in line.

It is stipulated that only five tables should be reserved every day, and the rest must be lined up obediently. Even if the emperor comes, he still has to line up.

Qian Yi's identity is different, no one dares to make trouble here, and no one dares to jump in line by virtue of his identity.

Especially a few days ago, someone heard that Qian Yi rushed into the Eldest Prince's mansion and slapped the Eldest Prince a few times. Afterwards, the Eldest Prince went to the Emperor to file a complaint, and was slapped more than twenty times by the Emperor.

After that, the eldest prince went to the queen and cried, and the queen went to the emperor and was grounded by the emperor. The queen asked someone to ask her father for help, but no one from the queen's natal family dared to speak up for this matter.

This incident was widely circulated in the capital. After all, it was a royal secret. Many people began to dig deep into the story behind this incident, and finally they really dug out the secret behind it.

It was heard that the eldest prince used his status to defile a maidservant of Qian Yi's family and forced her to death. Qian Yi went to settle accounts with the eldest prince, and the emperor also beat the eldest prince because of this incident.

As soon as this incident happened, everyone knew that Qian Yi had a kind heart and dared to beat the eldest prince because of a maidservant. This also proved that Qian Yi's status was higher than that of the prince.

How dare other people bully someone who doesn't even give face to the emperor.

Because of this incident, the emperor's reputation has become even better. Even if he is his own son, he will be beaten if he makes a mistake.

Except for Qian Yi's restaurant, the other two larger ones are century-old restaurants. Although they are not as good as Qian Yi's restaurant, they always have new dishes, but the taste is also very good, and they are very popular.

People in the capital are very willing to go to those two century-old restaurants, and they feel in their hearts that the status of the other two old restaurants is higher than Qian Yi's, and eating in those two old restaurants is more expensive.

After Lu Ziqian inquired about these things, he felt that Qian Yi was a pretentious person, so he must go to those two time-honored restaurants for dinner.

Besides, even if Zhao Cheng wants to go to Qian Yi's restaurant, he has to queue outside, which is too embarrassing for Zhao Cheng.

Lu Ziqian asked the location of those two houses again, and decided to go to one house first today.

He entered the store, there were not many people inside, it was near noon, and there were still vacant seats.

He chose a location on the first floor where he could see the door, but there was a pillar in front of him, so the other party would not easily find him, but he could see the door.

Not long after, he saw Zhao Cheng coming over for dinner.

In front of Zhao Cheng was a man in his fifties. The man was a little fat, with a calm demeanor and a serious expression.

Zhao Cheng followed behind him with a flattering expression.

He heard Xiaoer call the man the prime minister, and he heard Zhao Cheng call him father.

Lu Ziqian frowned, could this be the man who hurt his mother?

Being in a high position, Zhao Cheng called him his father. From these two points, it can be concluded that he is that man.

He stared at Zhao Cheng and the prime minister going upstairs, but did not follow immediately.

There are too many people here, it is difficult to start, even if he wants to kill Zhao Cheng, he must find a perfect plan, no witnesses, preferably no evidence, and destroy the body.

It is not easy to sit up on these items, but Zhao Cheng is not alone, he has family members, and his family members are the first to suspect him.

If you want to kill, you can only kill one family, which is very troublesome.

……

Zhao Cheng followed the prime minister upstairs with a fawning expression on his face. He was not so fawning on the prime minister before.

Although the position of the prime minister is high, but he is the prince, and in the era when imperial power is supreme, even if the prime minister is his future father-in-law, he is still a head above him.

In the past, his attitude towards the prime minister was only superficial respect, but recently the situation has changed. He is worried every day, fearing that the emperor will find out his secret.

He wanted the Prime Minister to marry his daughter to him as soon as possible. The Prime Minister loved this little daughter the most. If something happened to their Zhao family, the Prime Minister would give them a hand out of concern for their daughter's safety.

So today he couldn't wait to invite the prime minister to dinner, and mentioned the matter of advancing the wedding date.

However, the prime minister's attitude is unclear. When Zhao Cheng said that he did not agree or disagree when he said that the marriage date was advanced, he just said ambiguously, "I reported it to the emperor in time after the wedding date was set. If this is changed rashly I'm afraid it's not a good time for the wedding."

"But I'm not young anymore. Father, even if you don't think about me, you should also think about your daughter. She has also reached the age of marriage, so I can't delay." Zhao Cheng has been sticky lately The prime minister is called father.

When the prime minister first met him, he was very warm to him. Every time he talked to him, the prime minister would be happy from ear to ear.

But recently, he was very indifferent, even if he called the Prime Minister his father, the Prime Minister still seemed lazy to talk to him.

The prime minister said: "My daughter's marriage is not in a hurry. She has just reached the age of marriage. The old man wants to pamper her for another two years. I don't want her to experience the pain of getting married too early."

"Father, don't worry, I will love her well, and my family and I will never let her suffer." Zhao Cheng swore.

But the prime minister didn't mean to waver, "I'm not afraid that you will bully her, I just want to keep her for a few more years, after all, this is my most beloved little daughter."

The conversation broke up unhappy, the prime minister took a step first, and Zhao Cheng went downstairs afterwards.

Lu Ziqian was going to follow, see where Zhao Cheng lived now, and then make a plan for the next step.

But before he could get up, someone grabbed his shoulder from behind.

Lu Ziqian's heart sank. He thought that Zhao Cheng had discovered him. After all, Zhao Cheng's identity is different now, and it is possible that there are several hidden guards around him.

But the people behind him didn't move for a long time, and he felt that something was wrong again. He looked back and found that it was Lin Ziyi, and his heart was relieved instantly.

"You want to get rid of Zhao Cheng?" Lin Ziyi withdrew his hand, sat across from Lu Ziqian, and glanced at the tea on the table, "This tea is not bad, and you have good taste, but it's okay to drink tea and not eat at noon. I just want to invite you to dinner, today is a coincidence."

Lu Ziqian frowned and watched him call Xiaoer, and ordered all the signature dishes here skillfully, "This dish is not bad."

"Why stop me?" Lu Ziqian asked when he saw that Xiaoer had left.

"Now is not the time to do it yet." Lin Ziyi smiled gently, but said his words coldly, "The game has just begun, and the protagonist is dead, so what's the fun in that?"

"Game?" Lu Ziqian didn't understand what he meant, but he always felt that Lin Ziyi's appearance was perverted, like those villains in movies who like to play tricks on others.

"Yes," Lin Ziyi put down his teacup, "Don't worry about your family, I will send someone to protect them secretly. When you go to the Imperial Academy, bring Zhang Tiancai. The Imperial Academy stipulates that you can bring up to two attendants."

"Is there danger in the Guozijian?" Lu Ziqian asked tentatively.

"That idiot Qian Yi angered the eldest prince, the eldest prince dare not attack Qian Yi, but he has no worries about you, a little talent." Lin Ziyi watched Xiao Er serve the food, and said to Xiao Er: " Please make another one of the same dish and take it away."

Lin Ziyi smiled and said to Lu Ziqian: "Qiqi should like the food here."

Although he smiled in every sentence, Lu Ziqian felt a chill down his spine.

Lin Ziyi said to find someone to protect them, but he realized that Lin Ziyi was the biggest danger.

"Don't look at me like that," Lin Ziyi seemed to see his emotions, "I said, the game has just begun, I won't let anyone die, you can rest assured for a while."

"Are you the one who controls the game?" Lu Ziqian asked him.

"No," Lin Ziyi shook his head, "I'm just watching."

"Back then, my mother, were you watching?" Lu Ziqian asked him.

Hearing this, Lin Ziyi's smiling eyes sank, "I will tell you what happened back then."

Lu Ziqian couldn't see through him, he just thought he was a pervert.

……

After Lu Ziqian went out, Lu Rulan pulled Nan Qiqi into the house and secretly told him about setting up a small stall to sell tofu.

You can't tell Lu Ziqian about this matter, but you can tell Nan Qiqi, after all, there will only be the two of them at home in the future, if she goes out to do business, Nan Qiqi will definitely know.

It's better to tell Nan Qiqi directly and ask Nan Qiqi to cover her up and keep it a secret.

Nan Qiqi heard that her mother-in-law wanted to sell tofu, and felt that she could help, but he was still a little worried: "There are already three tofu sellers in the market, and there is another tofu shop at the other end. Big, the number of people who buy things every day is also fixed, we also sell tofu, we don’t have regular customers, we may not be able to compete with them.”

Recently, Nan Qiqi also heard Lu Ziqian talk about a lot of business matters. Lu Ziqian said that he planned to sell those profitable ideas to Qian Yi first. I use new ideas by myself, and maintain a normal cooperative relationship with Qian Yi.

When Lu Ziqian was thinking about the future, he would always talk to Nan Qiqi. Although he was dizzy for a long time, he also learned some simple business words and methods.

"Our tofu is bigger and cheaper." Lu Rulan is confident that it can sell better than theirs.

"But what if they also lowered the price? They lowered the price even lower than us, one month, two months, and their store has a lot of money to afford it, so we have to lose money and do it for a few months?" Nan Qiqi finally What I'm worried about is that those stores can't understand them stealing business, and they deliberately come to find fault.

This is not the countryside. In the past, in the countryside, if you were not convinced, you would go to war. The village chief just adjusted and adjusted. No one would think of reporting to the officials.

What if the mother-in-law is outraged by those shops and gets angry with them, then they report to the police and arrest the mother-in-law?

On weekdays, when he went to the market, he often saw the police patrolling. Even if those stores did not report to the police, what should he do if the police saw them fighting and took his mother-in-law away?

He didn't want his mother-in-law to be taken away, and he was afraid that this matter would affect his future career, so he wanted to stop his mother-in-law from the very beginning.

"But I've already rented out the stall, so why not sell tofu?" Lu Rulan asked.

"We can sell breakfast, bean curd, soy milk, and other things." The first thing Nan Qiqi thought of was the rice noodles that he ate at Zhuangzi that day.

But when I think about it, I feel that it is not good. Rice is too expensive, and the cost price must be high, and no one will buy it when it is sold.

At that time, he would still lose money, and he thought of Liangpi again. Summer has already begun, so if he cooks something cool to eat, many people will like it, "Let's make Liangpi and sell it!"

"What is that?" Lu Rulan had never heard of it before, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. My husband made it for me that day. I wrote down the recipe. I'll make one for you to try now." Nan Qiqi ran into the kitchen.
