Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The matchmaker is a business person, and she is very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Shen Ping seemed to be very interested in this house, the matchmaker was very pleased.

Madam Shen must have taken a fancy to this house, and she is right.

"Madam Shen, let me show you around!" As she spoke, the matchmaker took the lead and introduced Shen Ping to the surroundings: "Madam Shen, let me tell you, this is a blessed house.

I heard that the owner surnamed Li had been doing well in business since he bought the house. After he went to the capital, his business became bigger and bigger. He also bought a lot of real estate there.

The feng shui of this house is so good, I wanted to keep it, but I thought that even if I don’t live here, I still have to send someone to take care of it. Besides, there are not many people living in this house now, so it will be unpopular, which is not good for feng shui.”

Shen Ping was stunned when she heard the matchmaker talking so convincingly. If what she said was so mysterious, then this house must be really nice.

But putting this aside, the house is really nice, with a grand gate and a courtyard wall that is nearly three meters high. The alley on the left is also quite wide, and there is a braised pork shop across two streets, which is not far to walk.

Moreover, the house faces north and south, has plenty of light, is adjacent to East Street and South Street, and is not far from the county government office, which greatly increases the safety factor.

Entering from the main gate, there are two side rooms and two gatehouses on the first entrance, and four rooms on the second entrance, divided into east and west side rooms, plus two main rooms and a flower hall.

In addition, there is a back door and several side rooms in the backyard for servants to live in, as well as a stable.

There are two other patios, and there is a well in the corner of the second patio for washing. There is also a small garden, but it is winter now and there are no flowers, probably because it is neglected.

From the hanging flower gate, you can go straight to the flower hall, then to the main room, and the east and west wing rooms. The key is that the furnishings inside are also quite impressive.

All of them are made of mahogany, with an antique feel. It can be seen that the taste of people who are in the jade business is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

"Matchmaker, I wonder what the asking price is for this house." Shen Ping frowned and pretended to be nonchalant, "This house has been uninhabited for a while, it looks quite eerie."

She knew that even if she liked it, she shouldn't show it too obviously, because if she did, it would be difficult to bargain for it.

There is no such thing as too much money. The more money you can save, the better.

The matchmaker was no longer calm. Just now she saw that Madam Shen seemed to be very happy about this house, but why did she change now?

She knew Madam Shen's financial resources. If she wanted to buy this house, the money would be no problem. However, there were very few people who wanted to buy such a big house.

A client like Madam Shen cannot be missed. The matchmaker was afraid that the business would fail, so she quickly explained with a smile: "This house is so unpopular. If you buy it and move in, it will be very popular and the feeling will naturally be different.

Look at this house, which is open from north to south and has plenty of light. It's a rare good house. Mr. Li said that this house would cost at least 450 taels of silver."

Uncle Jian followed Shen Ping with a frown on his face. He felt very complicated. In fact, he didn't want to sell the house.

If this house is sold, it means he will be unemployed.

He is over 60 now and alone. If he loses this job, how will he make a living?

Uncle Jian was originally an old beggar. It was a winter, and the weather was unusually cold. He was cold and hungry, so he came to the door of Mr. Li's house.

At this time, he really couldn't walk anymore, so he sat at the gate of Li's house, leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

It happened to rain that night, so he sat at the door all night. He was discovered by the doorman in the morning. He was burning all over and had a high fever.

The doorman was afraid that someone might die, so he reported it to Mr. Li. Mr. Li was also a kind-hearted man, so he quickly asked people to carry Uncle Jian inside and called a doctor for him.

When Uncle Jian woke up, he realized that he had been running a fever for two days and two nights before the fever subsided. If it weren't for Master Li, he would have died long ago.

Later, Mr. Li learned that Uncle Jian was an orphan who had grown up eating at other people's homes and was a lonely man, so he settled him down.

It so happened that not long after that, the gatekeeper had to go back to take care of his grandson, and the job of gatekeeper became vacant, so Mr. Li arranged for Uncle Jian to be the gatekeeper.

"Indeed, 450 taels of silver is a bit expensive. Why don't you take another look?" Seeing Shen Ping complaining that it was too expensive, Uncle Jian was happy and quickly spoke up.

"For such a big house, 450 taels is really not expensive!" The matchmaker said with a smile. As she spoke, she glared at Uncle Jian and said to him, "What do you know, old man? Go to the door and check it."

The matchmaker was furious. Why was this old man causing trouble? It was obvious that he wanted to ruin the deal.

Uncle Jian curled his lips after being scolded and stopped following.

Shen Ping was also puzzled. How could this servant lower the price for his master? It was really rare.

"Ms. Shen, the price can't be much lower. Mr. Li will only stay here for these two days. Why don't you reconsider it?" The matchmaker certainly wanted to make the deal and lobbied hard.

"420 taels of silver, no more!" Shen Ping bargained.

The matchmaker's heart was bleeding. This Madam Shen was really good at bargaining. She had bargained down to her bottom price in one go.

Mr. Li's house was priced at 400 taels of silver, so he could only earn 20 taels of silver. However, he had just bought the house for less than two days, so he could make a net profit of 20 taels of silver.

"Row!"

The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll talk to Mr. Li later. If there's no problem, you can come over in the afternoon and we'll go directly to the county government office to complete the formalities."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!" Shen Ping smiled.

She knew that if there were no other accidents, the house would be hers for sure.

Sure enough, when Shen Ping came again in the afternoon, there was a middle-aged man in his 40s in the dental clinic.

The man was of medium build. He frowned and complained, "Why hasn't the woman come yet? I'm in a hurry~"

"Here she comes!" The matchmaker was overjoyed when she saw Shen Ping coming. She pointed at Shen Ping and said, "That's Madam Shen!"

He smiled and introduced to Master Li: "Master Li, this is Madam Shen~"

Then, he introduced Shen Ping: "Madam Shen, this is Master Li~"

Mr. Li was also stunned when he saw Shen Ping. He didn't expect that the woman who wanted to buy his house was pretty. He thought that she might be a short and ugly old woman.

Unexpectedly, the other party was tall, fair-skinned, dignified in manners, and very noble. At first glance, she was obviously the wife of a wealthy family.

Shen Ping bowed and said, "Master Li, please forgive me for being so rude. Your house is so nice, why are you willing to sell it?"

"Master Li~Master Li~"

Seeing Mr. Li in a daze, the matchmaker shouted hurriedly.
