Chapter 373 Opening a Store in Beijing (5)

Housekeeper Cao agreed, bowed and left, and went to the inn to pick up people.

Huo Yuan sat for a while, then stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he smiled to the eldest grandson of the Du family standing behind Du Yongzhi: "I wonder if Huo is lucky enough to be sent off by Master Yulang?"

Duke Anguo hurriedly said: "Master Huo is too polite. It is a blessing for Yulang to be taught by you in his lifetime. It is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes. Yulang, follow Master Huo out and send him off properly."

Du Yulang had no choice but to follow him out. He came back after a long time. I don't know what Huo Yuan said to him, but when he came back, his face was very bad.

At noon, Mu Zhongqing's family finally came after being called by Duke Anguo's mansion.

In order to show his importance to this concubine's family, Duke Anguo specially asked the whole family to wait in the flower hall, ready to meet them one by one.

Although the ladies and gentlemen of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion felt that it was beneath their status to wait here to meet a group of country bumpkins, they all stayed willingly.

Not for the order of the Duke of Anguo, but for the curiosity in their hearts.

Everyone in the mansion wanted to see what kind of woman could make Mr. Huo fall in love with her to such an extent. For her, he spared no effort to get in touch with the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, and spent a lot of money to give away a shop worth tens of thousands of taels.

When Caiwei's family came to the mansion, everyone suddenly understood when they saw Caiwei. No wonder Mr. Huo was so infatuated with that girl. It turned out that there was such a stunning woman in this world!

This girl's appearance was really great. It was not an exaggeration to describe her as stunning and charming. With this appearance, she was more than qualified to be a favorite concubine in the palace. Marrying Mr. Huo was really not too high a target!

After seeing Caiwei, Duke Anguo felt very complicated. If this girl was his granddaughter, he would definitely send her to the palace or to the prince's mansion in the East Palace. With this girl's appearance, she would definitely be favored by the harem and be the only one in the room. If she gave birth to a son in the future, she would definitely inherit the throne with her favor. Would the Duke Anguo's mansion still worry about not being able to rise to prominence?

Unfortunately, she was just a granddaughter, and she was not raised by the Duke Anguo's mansion. Even if she was wooed now, it was not certain that she would be used by the Duke Anguo's mansion. From her insistence on doing business, it can be seen that this girl is very opinionated and will never be easily bought.

After a period of melancholy, Duke Anguo decided to let her marry Mr. Huo. Although Mr. Huo could not compare with the emperor and the prince in terms of power, the Huo family was the richest in the Great Jin State, and this girl lived in the Duke Anguo's mansion. When the Huo family made an engagement in the future, the Duke Anguo's mansion would inevitably have to make a few tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Huo family!

After seeing Caiwei's appearance, Du Wanqiu's face was twisted with jealousy, and her whole heart seemed to be devoured by a poisonous snake. She wanted to rush forward and scratch the face of that vixen to pieces to vent her anger.

In her imagination, Caiwei should be a vulgar and lowly woman who can only seduce men with her body. Even if she has some beauty, she is only slightly better than ordinary people. However, she never thought that she would be so gentle, sensible, and beautiful. Her appearance is simply a national beauty. Even cousin Ruizhu is slightly inferior to her.

When Du Yulang saw Caiwei, he felt even more melancholy. In this life, he finally met a peerless beauty, but she was preempted by someone else, and that person was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

He was still frightened by the words that Huo Yuan had warned him privately today. The elegant gentleman, who was always known for his gentleness and elegance, told him for the first time in that gloomy tone that if anyone in this world dared to go after her, he would do his utmost to take that person's life!
