I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

"Brother, don't scare me." Wu Yong's expression froze.

Xu Shu sighed and explained the whole story to him. Seeing Wu Yong's expression change from sadness to joy, he said, "That being said, you can't be careless."

Wu Yong pursed his lips and said, "Brother Xu, you are handsome and elegant. It is normal for Brother Le to like you. But I also know that it is impossible for you to like Brother Le."

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Brother Le is stubborn, strong in doing things, and doesn't like to talk about his difficulties. You don't like this kind of brother, right?" Wu Yong said, and he laughed, "You like the kind of brother Mu, who is gentle, considerate, soft-looking, and good at acting like a spoiled child."

Xu Shu's eyelids twitched: "Our little Mu Jin..."

"Oh, don't argue with me. You panic every time Mu Ge'er's eyes turn red. If you don't like this, who would like it?"

Xu Shu was speechless.

Wu Yong added: "Brother, I have known you for two or three months. I know your character. You are willing to tell me that Brother Le came to you last night, which means that you have no feelings for Brother Le."

"As for whether Le Ge'er likes me, I will try my best. I believe that as long as I treat him well, he will definitely like me."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "You are very insightful and have a sharp eye. You can judge people very accurately. Then I wish you a happy marriage for 200 years in advance."

Wu Yong scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go look at the store, but I never understood why you are so keen on buying a store near Yichun Building?"

"Do you have to buy the inn? The location of my restaurant is pretty good. Since you want to do a joint venture, why can't you move the two stores closer together?"

At this point, Xu Shu did not hide the truth from him: "Have you heard that Yichun Tower was bought by someone?"

"I heard about it." Wu Yong called the coachman to get the horses.

"I bought it." Xu Shu coughed lightly.

"Oh, so it was you who bought it." Wu Yong lifted the curtain and was about to get into the carriage. He took a step and suddenly came to his senses, "What? What did you say? You? You, you, you...you bought Yichunlou?"

"Yeah." Xu Shu pushed him and motioned him to get into the sedan.

Wu Yong hurriedly went in and immediately stared at Xu Shu: "But I heard that it would cost a full one million taels of gold to buy Yichun Tower."

Xu Shu's mouth twitched: "No... it's not that exaggerated. But in order to buy this building, I also spent a lot of money."

He sighed in pretended grief, which made Wu Yong too embarrassed to ask about the price. He just apologized and comforted him: "Brother, it's okay. Think about it. Yichun Building is in a good location, and you have a way. You will definitely be able to earn back this money in the future..."

"But it's one million taels of gold. My family has been in business for generations, but we don't have..."

Xu Shu also sighed deeply, Wu Yong quickly stopped talking and comforted him: "It's okay, you still have Xiao Ran's share of the Eight Immortals. From what Xiao Ran said, that thing must be profitable."

Xu Shu hummed, and was silent for a long time before saying, "That's fine, just consider it my engagement gift to Xiao Mujin."

"Engage...engage?" Wu Yong was dumbfounded again. "When did you discuss it? When did you get engaged? And, if you use the house you bought for one million taels as an engagement gift, then what will you give as a gift when you get married?"

Xu Shu was also worried about this, but the marriage was still two years away, so he planned to think about it slowly, and said indifferently: "Now that our careers are on the rise, we plan to settle down first and wait for two years until little Mujin is a little older, and then we will consider it."

"Two years?" Wu Yong's shocked expression never faded. "Is two years too long? Does Mu Ge'er agree?"

"Yes, we made an agreement. Of course, Hibiscus agreed."

"Okay, as long as you're happy, you're so resolute every day, my heart can't take it. Oh, here we are."

The carriage slowly stopped. Xu Shu lifted the curtain and saw Yichun Tower first. He was stunned for a moment and then he realized that the inn Wu Yong mentioned was actually right opposite Yichun Tower.

"This is a great location." Xu Shu nodded as soon as he got out of the car, and then followed Wu Yong to see the interior decoration and size.

This area seemed to be full of high-end shops. The cheapest room in this inn cost one or two taels of silver a night. Although it was much cheaper than the price charged by Yichun Tower at the time, it was still considered a very expensive inn.

Xu Shu took a look at the No. 1 room, which was completely comparable to the luxury suites in modern five-star hotels.

As for the cheapest floor-level rooms, they can also be considered clean and tidy.

Xu Shu asked about the number of guest rooms. Except for the top-level rooms, which only had ten, the other rooms totaled one thousand.

He was very satisfied with this place. If he bought it, not only would everyone in Yichun Tower have a place to live, but he could also get a room for Xiao Mujin to live in. There was also a small courtyard behind the inn where he could raise a few horses.

Xu Shu looked at the broker who had been waiting: "What's the price here?"

The man was an elderly man with a very decent appearance and looked honest, not like a businessman.

Hearing Xu Shuwen's question, he bowed first, then said: "In reply to this gentleman, this inn couldn't compete with Yichun Tower a long time ago, and has been closed for more than half a year."

"No one has asked for the price in the past six months. The price of the lot that was originally priced at 5,000 taels of silver has been reduced to 1,000 taels."

Xu Shu frowned: "Fifty taels."

The old man said quickly: "No, no, no, this is not allowed."

Wu Yong was also surprised. Xu Shu's bargaining and asking prices always made people jaw-dropping and speechless.

Xu Shu said, "This inn has been closed for a long time. No one else can afford it. Why doesn't the owner consider selling it to Yichunlou?"

"Alas, you don't know this." The broker sighed, "The owner of this inn has a son who is said to have fallen in love with a boy from Yichun Tower. He wants to redeem the boy, but Yichun Tower is closed."

"You also know that since the opening, no one has ever been able to redeem the boy inside. The boss is just a businessman, how can he fight against him?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Yong became curious. "Didn't they say that the owner of Yichun Tower is just that old lady Wang?"

"It's that old woman Wang, but that old woman Wang is also backed by a high-ranking official. It is said that he is a Beijing official, and his surname is Mu. You also know that our current prime minister has the surname Mu."

"So, this old woman Wang has a backer behind her, and the young master was unable to redeem his beloved, and was forced to sell off his property by Yichun Tower? In the end, he was resentful and went to Yichun Tower?"

"It's not like he's selling off his property." The broker smiled. "That young master's surname is Jiang. The Jiang family is one of the richest businessmen in Qingshui Town."

"This inn is sold because Young Master Jiang doesn't like Yichun Tower and thinks it's unlucky to have it next door. Young Master Jiang also specifically told us that no matter how many years we keep it, we can't sell it to Mrs. Wang of Yichun Tower."

Xu Shu was thoughtful and came up with an idea: "This young master Jiang is really a man of integrity. I admire him. I wonder if I can get to know him?"
