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

Yan Xining was feeling a little confused and barely fell asleep until four o'clock in the morning.

She woke up early in the morning.

The craftsmen hired from other places have been working for some time.

When the sun rises, they start construction.

The leading craftsman Zhang Laogen looked up and saw a young man walking down the stairs. The young man was dressed in sky-blue brocade clothes, with bright eyebrows, a deep gaze, red lips and white teeth. He was as handsome as a young man walking down from a painting.

Zhang Laogen hurried forward and said, "Hey, young master, were you staying here yesterday?"

Yan Xining nodded and looked at the sky outside: "You guys started work so early?"

Zhang Laogen smiled innocently: "We want to finish this work as soon as possible, and then we have to rush back for spring planting!"

They were craftsmen from a county nearly a hundred miles away from the capital. At first, they were a little scared when they heard that the restaurant was haunted, but Yan Xining offered a high price, and they calculated that finishing the work here would earn them more than twice as much as doing it elsewhere. Are ghosts really that scary?

I plucked up the courage to take it on.

The young boss, Mr. Ning, was a generous man. Knowing that they were afraid, he arranged for them to rest somewhere else and they finished work before dark.

After working for several days without seeing any of the legendary ghosts, they became bolder and came earlier and earlier every day.

Yan Xining asked: "Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, not yet!" The vendors outside hadn't opened their doors yet, so they thought about waiting for the stall owners to come and then each buy a few whole grain cakes to fill their stomachs!

Yan Xining handed over a piece of silver and said, "Let's eat something good today. Only when you are full can you have the energy to work! It's my treat!"

Zhang Laogen and a group of craftsmen quickly expressed their gratitude.

"Master Zhang, how many days will it take for this work to be finished? How much earlier can it be finished?"

According to the original contract, they had to deliver it at least half a month later.

Zhang Laogen said hurriedly, "Master, everything at the inn has been completed, and ours will be almost done too. We'll be able to deliver it in three days at most!" After thinking for a moment, he explained, "Master, although we're much ahead of schedule, I've been keeping an eye on the quality. Everything is according to your requirements, so there's absolutely no problem!"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. If you can finish the work ahead of schedule while ensuring quality, I will reward you!"

Zhang Laogen and his group were very happy and took the initiative to tell Yan Xining about the progress and details. When Yan Xining discussed with him, he was surprised to find that this young master did not know nothing. On the contrary, he knew more than himself.

I couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't think of cutting corners to fool around, otherwise, he would have been exposed!

It will be completed the day after tomorrow, so Yan Xining decided to set the opening date on the 18th.

Then she went to the dental clinic.

I have to go to the pawnshop to recruit some suitable people, even if it's just for a transition period.

She did what she said and immediately went to the dental clinic.

In the dental office, once I told them what I wanted, the agents recommended a lot of people.

She had selected some staff, but she hadn't yet chosen a manager. She wasn't in a hurry; if there wasn't a suitable one, she could just transfer someone from elsewhere.

After all the busy work, everyone was hungry.

Yan Xining thought that if she returned to the palace now, she could still make it in time for lunch.

The carriage rented from the horse and carriage company was relatively small, but very stable. The wheels turned, stirring up a light cloud of dust. Yan Xining was sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed, resting, when suddenly, a faint fragrance slowly penetrated her nostrils.

The aroma of a kind of food is not very strong, but it smells very comfortable and makes people unconsciously develop an appetite.

"parking!"

The coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage by the roadside.

The driver was puzzled: "Sir, what do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you!"

Yan Xining shook her head and followed the scent to the front right. She didn’t even know what it was, so how could she buy it?

"Just wait here. I'm just taking a walk. I'll be back soon!"

"Yes!"

There is an alley in front, and inside the alley are several houses.

Yan Xining walked over and the fragrance became stronger.

It seems the direction is correct.

Her eyes quickly searched the surroundings, trying to find the source of the fragrance. The doors of the houses on both sides were mostly closed, and occasionally one or two doors were half-open, revealing the simple and rustic life scenes inside.

Whose delicious food is this aroma coming from?

The first one had its door closed and seemed to have no one inside.

In the second house, there were people talking and children playing, but it wasn’t!

Before I even got close to the third house, I could hear men shouting and cursing, women screaming, and children crying.

Through the wide-open door, a man in his thirties raised his hand and hit the woman hard. The woman was holding a child tightly in her arms. She let the palm, as big and heavy as a palm-leaf fan, hit her body, but she only protected the child tightly.

The child's eyes were full of fear, his little face turned pale with fear, his small body trembled in his mother's arms, tears welled up in his eyes, but he didn't dare to cry out loud because he was too scared.

The man did not hold back at all. He felt that hitting with his palms was not enough, so he just punched and kicked the woman. The woman screamed in pain and blood came out of her lips.

But even so, she did not let go of her hand that was protecting the child.

"Stop!" Yan Xining's eyes were filled with anger.

Before I even entered the door, the smell of alcohol hit my nose.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, he was cursing, and he didn't hold back at all.

This posture seems to indicate that he wants to beat that woman to death.

Yan Xining couldn't care less anymore. She walked into the house and kicked the man away.

Reach out and help the mother and daughter up.

The child was a little girl of five or six years old. There were tears in her eyes. She looked at me timidly, wanting to cry but not daring to.

The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She looked sad, haggard, and had a pale complexion and thin body.

The man who had been kicked rolled on the ground twice before getting up. Looking up, he saw a gigolo helping his wife up. He immediately flew into a rage and jumped up, yelling, "Well, Jiang Feng, I was wondering why you've been nagging me all day, complaining about this and that. So you have a gigolo. Your mistress has even found her here, right? I'm going to beat you to death!"

As he said this, he pounced on her again with his fangs and claws bared.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" The woman Jiang Feng was ashamed and angry, so angry that she could hardly speak!

Yan Xining's face became terribly gloomy as she listened to the dirty words coming out of his mouth.

Jiang Feng endured the pain in his body and quickly pushed Yan Xining out: "Little brother, hurry up and leave. His beatings hurt a lot, and he doesn't know how to control his strength when he's drunk. Let's go!"

As she spoke, she stood in front, closed her eyes, and prepared herself to be beaten.

She knew in her heart that the little brother's unintentional protection would definitely make this madman go crazy again. He was kind-hearted and she must not let him get beaten.

She had thick skin and was used to being beaten, so at most she'd get another beating. But she'd be too injured to get out of bed for the next few days, which would be hard on her Que'er.

But the expected pain did not come. She only heard a loud crash and opened her eyes to see that the drunk Niu Gui was kicked to the ground again.

Niu Gui sobered up a little, and he stared at Yan Xining with his blood-red triangular eyes.

This man was well-dressed and looked wealthy. I hadn't expected that bitch Jiang Feng to be able to hook up with such a wealthy gigolo. Seeing how his clothes weren't cheap, I had to make a killing now that they were in his hands.

Haha, this huge wealth has finally come to him.
