General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 889: Big House (1)

When Ji Xiaomu saw Bai Lao, she immediately pointed to the betrothal gifts outside.

"What's wrong with these betrothal gifts? They are quite spectacular." Old Bai thought that little Ji was asking for praise, so he laughed.

Ji Xiaowu blinked and said helplessly, "Mr. Bai, do you think my small teahouse can accommodate so many betrothal gifts?"

Old Bai was stunned, then he looked at the teahouse and calculated that there were still ten days before the wedding. Even if the teahouse was filled with betrothal gifts, it was impossible for it to be closed for ten days.

"In that case, why not take it back?" Old Bai and Fang Chen had the same idea. They could go back the same way they came, and they wouldn't have to go through that again in ten days.

Ji Xiaowu looked at Bai Lao speechlessly. Why do all straight men think the same? "Does it mean that we don't even have to bring the betrothal gifts and dowry after ten days? We can just take the person back home directly?"

"…Madam, what you said makes sense." Old Bai and Fang Chen looked at each other. They had never organized a wedding before, so they didn't expect this.

"What's wrong with you?" Old Hu also saw the commotion here and couldn't help but walk over.

Ji Xiaomu pointed to the betrothal gifts downstairs, and Mr. Hu was startled. "Madam, are you worried that the warehouse won't have enough space for the betrothal gifts?"

"Mr. Hu knows?" Ji Xiaomu was suddenly a little surprised. She didn't expect that Mr. Hu, whom she also thought was a straight man, could actually see the problem.

"I thought about this when I came here." Old Hu said with a smile, "I bought a big house in front of the teahouse, which is divided into more than ten courtyards. Madam, you can just put the betrothal gifts in the big house."

"When did you prepare it? How come I didn't know about it?" Bai Lao was surprised. "No wonder I couldn't find a buyer when I wanted to buy it before. It turned out that you bought it."

"It was...it was that day, the day Ling Wei and Chen Zihao got married. On my way back, I happened to see them moving, so I bought it." Old Hu said proudly.

"That idiot from that family said they wanted to seek refuge with the Fourth Prince, thinking that the Fourth Prince had the greatest hope and that this place would be cannon fodder and would suffer if a war broke out. So they moved away with their whole family. I was so angry when I heard that that I bought the house directly." Hu was always angry when he talked about this, but he didn't bother with the idiot. He was happy to see such a idiot leave. Seeing that his house was big, he directly offered to buy it.

"You heard about it too." Old Hu looked at Old Bai, who nodded, "I have the same plan as you."

"Hahahaha, I won't persuade such a fool who is looking for death. It's better for him to leave!" Old Hu laughed.

"How much did you pay for it?" Mr. Bai asked curiously.

"I said they would definitely need money on the road, so I bought it for three hundred taels." Old Hu said proudly.

"You are stupid and have a lot of money. He was already in a hurry to leave, but you still gave him three hundred taels! One hundred taels would have been enough to kill him." Old Bai sighed and shook his head. Old Hu was just not cut out for business.

The family was in a hurry to leave, and it was obvious that they could take advantage of the situation to rob them, but he actually offered three hundred taels. If it were him, one hundred taels would be more than enough!

"You are actually a profiteer. You can actually afford to buy such a big place for only one hundred taels?" Old Hu choked and stared with contempt.

"He is about to defect to the Fourth Prince, and you still think he will be a good person?" Old Bai raised his eyebrows and glanced at Old Hu, who froze.

Right!

I've lost face so much.

"Ah!" Old Bai smiled and shook his head. Old Hu behind him felt as if he had eaten bitter herbs and could not say anything about his pain.

Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but they managed to hold it back in the end.

"Mr. Hu, let's go! Take a seat!" Ji Xiaomu said happily after solving the problem of betrothal gifts.
