Chapter 372 Opening a Store in Beijing (4)

Seeing that housekeeper Cao came back alone, without bringing Mei Niang's family back.   Duke Anguo was surprised and said, "Housekeeper Cao, why didn't my granddaughter come back with you? Didn't you pass on my words?"

Housekeeper Cao smiled awkwardly, repeated Cai Wei's words verbatim, then lowered his head and said nothing more.

One thousand taels!

This number really scared and stumped Duke Anguo. He cursed secretly, this ignorant dead girl, how dare she be so arrogant and rampant. If it weren't for Master Huo, he would have ordered someone to bring her into the mansion, beat her half to death first, and then deal with her.

However, Master Huo was right in front of him, and his resentment and resentment could not be leaked at all, but he really couldn't afford the one thousand taels that the dead girl said!

If she said one or two hundred taels, he might have gritted his teeth and tried to please Huo Yuan and reluctantly agreed to it, but one thousand taels was enough to cover the expenses of the whole family for a month. He couldn't bear to spend it and couldn't afford it!

Duke Anguo held the teacup and pretended to drink tea. The old face on the teacup was tangled and ugly.

Butler Cao stood aside, bowed his head and said nothing. The masters who were sitting looked at each other, and their faces showed resentment, but because of Huo Yuan's face, they couldn't vent their anger. They just gritted their teeth and were speechless with hatred.

Seeing everyone like this, Huo Yuan smiled calmly and said, "Duke, since she is determined to do so, why don't you fulfill her wish so that she can live here with peace of mind."

"Ahem, that's fine. I am old and my thoughts are inevitably conservative. If I just use the old rules to suppress her, if this girl gets angry and refuses to come back to recognize me as her grandfather, I will be in trouble."

Duke Anguo was shameless and joked happily, finding a way out for himself at the right time, and flattering Mr. Huo, showing how much he values ​​this granddaughter!

Huo Yuan smiled and said, "Duke is wise, Huo thanks you again."

After that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Duke Anguo.

Duke Anguo took it and saw that it was a house deed located in Maoer Hutong.

Although Maoer Hutong is called Maoer Hutong, it is not actually an alley, but a prosperous commercial street. Every inch of land there is worth a lot of money. A two-story shop like the one on the title deed is worth at least 20,000 taels, which can be said to be a golden area with sky-high prices!

"What...what is this?"

Duke An was stunned when he took the title deed worth a million taels.

Huo Yuan smiled calmly and said, "It's the title deed! Duke, have you forgotten? Your fourth daughter is getting married, and you haven't had time to prepare a dowry for her. This title deed is your dowry for her!"

Huo Yuan's generosity shocked everyone in the Duke's Mansion. No one could figure out what kind of fairy daughter Du Meiniang gave birth to that was worth the high-minded Mr. Huo's so much thought and investment?

Duke Anguo put the paper house deed into his sleeve, feeling very complicated. His granddaughter, whom he had never met, must have some skills and means to make Mr. Huo admire her so much. It seems that he must try to win her over. Maybe, that country girl can also bring a lot of benefits to the Duke's Mansion!

"Butler Cao, go to the inn again and tell the girl that if she wants to do business, she can do it. The mansion will not restrict her. Let their family come back early!"

Duke Anguo spoke, with a kind tone and a kind attitude, as if he loved this cheap granddaughter so much!

"Yes, I will do it right away!"
