Chapter 887 Proposal (1)
Early the next morning
The teahouse owned by the owner Youxi was unusually busy. The girls dressed up carefully and showed their best sides. Ji Xiaowu and Fang Chen sat aside and looked at the happy and expectant smiles on their faces and smiled themselves.
The disciples of the Bai family arrived in advance to decorate the scene. They moved all the tables and chairs in the hall away and spread red cloth on the ground, making it as festive as a wedding.
Bai Lao came to sit next to Ji Xiaowu, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but envy. "Madam, I heard from Bai Zhan that you promised to hold a ceremony for us disciples of the Bai family."
"Huh?" Ji Xiao was startled. Did she promise to hold a show yesterday? "I promised to hold one too?"
"Madam, the men of my Bai family are all looking forward to it!" Old Bai looked at Ji Xiaomu. He did it on purpose. How could a few places be enough? There were quite a few disciples in the Bai family!
"Mr. Bai, you are blackmailing me! Where can I find so many girls for you?" Ji Xiaomu said with a helpless smile.
"Poor me, I'm over 100 years old, but there hasn't been a single happy event in the Bai family yet..." Old Bai suddenly wiped away his tears. Mother Ji was stunned. She didn't expect Old Bai to play this trick.
She looked at Fang Chen helplessly. Fang Chen chuckled and turned his head away slightly. He couldn't help her with this.
"Mr. Bai, didn't Bai Ziqi also ask for someone to leave? How come there is no happy event?" Old Lady Ji glared at Fang Chen, then turned around and smiled at Mr. Bai.
"There are ten couples in the Hu family..." Old Bai complained. "There are still five or six in the teahouse..."
"...Okay, I'll ask them what they think some other day and then hold another one for you, okay?" Ji Xiaou understood immediately that this was targeting the remaining girls. Ji Xiaou sighed softly.
"Thank you, ma'am." Old Bai immediately smiled without a trace of tears on his face.
Ji Xiaowu was amused. "Where did Mr. Bai learn this trick? Crying and making a fuss. If I don't agree, are you going to hang yourself?"
"No, at most I will come to visit Madam every day." Old Bai said with a smile.
Ji Xiaomu: "..."
"Here they come! They are coming!" The Bai family disciple who was guarding the gate suddenly rushed in and shouted to everyone.
The girls immediately fell silent and hid in a nearby room, their faces blushing with embarrassment.
Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen drank their tea calmly. Old Hu pushed the door open and walked in. Behind him were the parents of the Hu family disciples who were looking for marriage. Finally, the Hu family disciples walked in one by one with their heads held high. After they entered, Bai's father and mother also walked in with Bai Ziqi.
The matchmaker walked in with a professional smile and came in front of Ji Xiaou. Before she could speak, Old Hu interrupted her.
"Madam, I'm here to propose to you on behalf of my sons from the Hu family!" Old Hu walked up to Aunt Ji, his voice full of joy.
"Mr. Hu, there's no need to be so polite. Girls, come out and receive the gifts!" Aunt Ji called out to the room next door. The moment she finished calling out, she suddenly felt like the old mother of Gao Laozhuang.
The girls came out one by one with shy faces. When the Hu family disciples saw the ones they liked, their eyes lit up and they went forward to take their girls away.
Just as the matchmaker was about to speak, Old Hu spoke first. "Madam, I asked the matchmaker to calculate the date. Ten days later will be a very auspicious day. Everything will be suitable on that day. What do you think, Madam?"
"Ten days later? So urgent?" Aunt Ji was stunned and looked at the matchmaker. The matchmaker glanced at Mr. Hu and made sure that he would not say anything else, then she smiled and nodded.
