Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

It turns out that there is something hidden.

Yan Xining's eyes were slightly cold as she just stared at him.

Chu Fanglin's lips trembled, and he finally stammered, "Yes, yes... it's haunted!"

Yan Xining thought she had misheard: "What the hell is going on?"

A trace of fear flashed in Chu Fanglin's eyes. He took a step back unconsciously and looked around, as if the ghost was still there and would pounce at any time.

"Alright, even if it's a ghost, it won't come out in broad daylight. Tell me first!"

Chu Fanglin told what he saw that day with lingering fear.

After the restaurant closed, there was another thief problem. In order to prevent the thief from coming again, he stayed here at night to keep watch.

In the middle of the night, he heard some noise and thought the thief had returned, so he quietly went out from the left side room and hid behind a pillar to catch the thief in the act.

Then, he saw with his own eyes a white shadow floating up from the right side of the lobby, floating to the second floor at the back, floating from the second floor pillar to the third floor, and then floating from the third floor to the lobby.

When the white shadow stood still in the lobby, he could see clearly in the moonlight that the man had a ferocious face, a bloody mouth, and eyes like two big black holes.

He covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from making any sound, but he fainted from fright.

When he woke up the next day, he was in his room, but he knew clearly that he was not having a nightmare!

He was so frightened that he was in a trance for three days and didn't dare tell anyone about it.

He cupped his hands, overwhelmed with shame. "Master Ning, I shouldn't have kept it from you, but I really saw it with my own eyes that night. If you want to open a restaurant, it's best not to keep anyone here at night. Don't anger that ghost!"

Ghost?

Yan Xining curled the corners of her lips and said, "If it's haunted, just exorcise it. It's no big deal. Okay, I get it!"

Chu Fanglin, perhaps feeling guilty and trying to make amends, said hesitantly from behind, "Master Ning, do you need a chef and a shopkeeper, sir?"

Yan Xining tilted her head: "Do you have an introduction?"

"Those who worked in this restaurant before were all down-to-earth people. My restaurant is closed, and their jobs have been cut off. If possible, I would like to recommend it to Master Ning to see if he needs it!"

"You can call him over to see me, if you need me, please tell me!"

Chu Fanglin was overjoyed: "That's great, thank you, Master Ning. I'll go inform them right away."

"Tomorrow! We've been out for quite some time today, and we still have things to deal with when we get back! Let them come here at this time tomorrow!"

Chu Fanglin readily agreed.

Yan Xining remembered that there were three shops among the dowry left to her by Luo Yiyun, and she had not had time to go and see them yet. Now that she was out today, she decided to go and take a look.

There was a shop not far away, just across the street, that sold gold jewelry.

Yan Xining walked around and saw from a distance that the shop was doing good business, with customers coming and going, and the main customer group was young women.

The shop is also very grand. The three words "Jinruitang" are written in iron and silver strokes, which is the work of a master.

She walked inside.

There are three floors here.

The first floor is filled with a wide variety of goods, including hairpins and the like. The styles are not very novel and the prices are not very expensive.

When she went in, there were more than ten guests inside who were selecting and viewing jewelry. Each waiter had to entertain three or four guests. Some people paid the money readily, took the jewelry they liked, and left happily.

Some people who didn’t like the show either went to the second floor or left directly.

In just a short while, the transaction rate reached 70%.

Yan Xining had taken a look at this jewelry store before. This jewelry store has been in business for decades and has a good reputation.

She went upstairs again.

The decorations on the second floor are obviously more exquisite, more expensive, and displayed more uniquely.

The guys here are also more attentive.

There were actually quite a few guests, all of them were ladies with their maids.

The third floor houses the shop’s treasures, of which there are only a few. Guests here are personally entertained by the manager.

When Yan Xining walked in, a young steward came over and said enthusiastically, "Sir, if you find anything you like, please come closer and take a closer look."

Yan Xining hummed, looking at one of the tassels placed in an uncovered rectangular box, and asked, "Take a look at this!"

The steward carefully took out the box and handed it to Yan Xining with both hands.

Yan Xining picked it up and took a closer look at the tassel. The workmanship was quite delicate and the style was exquisite.

The price was set at eighty taels of silver, but the cost, including the workmanship, was no more than thirty taels of silver.

It's really a huge profit.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, a delicate hand reached out and took the tassel away: "This one is nice, I want it!"

The voice sounded familiar, and turning to look, she saw several young ladies approaching together. The one who was trying to grab the tassel was none other than Xue Rongrong.

Next to her, there was not only Qi Mingyu, but also Yan Xueqi. She didn't know the other two young ladies, but they must have come from families of officials.

Xue Rongrong said to Li: "What are you looking at? This is the one I like, and you want to follow me..." When she said this, she saw Yan Xining's face, and the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat.

This look made Yan Xining think that his vest had fallen off.

Xue Rongrong's eyes lit up slightly, and her tone was a little embarrassed: "Sir, where are you from? How come I've never seen you before?"

It was no wonder that she was distracted. The young man in brocade clothes in front of her had a handsome face, deep eyes, a straight nose, red lips and white teeth.

With his back straight, just a glance at me, he looked like a star in the dark night, with his own starlight.

What makes it even harder to look away is not only his handsome appearance, but also his elegant temperament, refined yet free and easy. These two temperaments should not exist in one person, but they are perfectly combined in him.

They had seen many noblemen in the capital, but there were almost no ones who were as pure as the bright moon, as free and easy, and who had the temperament to stand out from the crowd.

Yan Xining didn't say anything and turned to walk to the other side.

Xue Rongrong stepped forward to block her: "Sir, please wait. If you like, I'll give it to you. At least say something!"

Yan Xining said calmly: "I'm just taking a look, if you want to buy it, just buy it!" As she said that, she pointed to the gold hairpin next to her and asked the steward to take it out for her to have a look.

Xue Rongrong was not at all offended by her indifference. He had given her the tassel, so she had to be grateful. She had it wrapped up and said to the steward who was entertaining Yan Xining, "This young man has taken a fancy to this gold hairpin. I will pay for him!"

Yan Xining: “…”

She was speechless. Is Xue Rongrong also obsessed with looks?

Should she disguise herself to be uglier next time?

“No, I won’t buy it!”

Xue Rongrong, however, said in a familiar manner, "Sir, meeting is fate. You don't have to be embarrassed. I can still afford a gold hairpin."

Yan Xining looked at her with no expression on her face: "Then have you ever thought about why I want to buy a gold hairpin? It can't be for my own use, right?"

Xue Rongrong was stunned. Qi Mingyu came over and pulled her, then said to Yan Xining, "Sir, Miss Xue is a warm-hearted person. She has no bad intentions and no intention of offending you. Even if you don't accept her kindness, you don't have to speak like that!"
