After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother
Chapter 117: Buying a House
The broker's surname was Qian, and everyone called him Qian Da. He was very efficient in doing things. After listening to Yuxiu's request, he quickly came out with a pile of books, picked up a few of them, opened them one by one, and introduced them to her.
"This is a large courtyard with three entrances. It has a great location and good environment. The house has just been renovated and is fully furnished. You can just buy some things and move in..."
"This courtyard has only two entrances, but it's close to the busy front street. I only need to open a big door on the side. It's completely enough to do business..."
"This courtyard is a little older, but it's a large courtyard with five entrances. The location is also good, and the neighbors around are all respectable people..."
Qian Da introduced more than a dozen properties in one breath. Yuxiu leaned over to take a look and found that the book was written in great detail. It looked like a real estate sales book in her previous life. Even the layout of the house was drawn out.
This made Yuxiu very satisfied. She picked out a few books that looked good and asked Qian Da to take them to have a look in person.
There was a horse-drawn carriage ready in the pawnshop. Qian Da just gave an order, and two young boys outside the door responded and ran down to prepare.
Yuxiu also asked the dental clinic if there were any suitable servants, as she planned to buy some.
"Miss, you have come to the right place. We have just recruited a group of servants recently. There are both maids and servants. They are learning the rules from the old women. You can take a look first, or you can wait until the house is bought and I will bring people to your house for you to choose."
Qian Da was a very smart businessman. When he learned that Yuxiu's family had just arrived in Beijing and was preparing to settle down, he knew that this was an important customer.
You have to know that it is not easy to live in the capital. If you want to settle down here, you need money to buy everything, from houses to pots and pans. It is impossible to buy a whole set without some financial resources.
However, he looked at Mother Qiu who was respectful beside him. Although he didn't know who the girl in front of him was, he knew that she was not a simple person and he just needed to serve her well.
"Then let's go and look at the house first, and then see how many people are needed after we decide on it."
Yuxiu just heard that there are several good places. Anyway, she has plenty of money. Now that her mother is known as a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect, she doesn't have to worry about hiding the source of the money.
You say that a disciple of a miracle doctor is rich, so what's so strange about that? He just treats people's illnesses and sells medicines, so how can the money be small?
It would be strange if you really had no money, right?
Soon the carriages were ready. Yuxiu and Mother Qiu took one, and Qian Da took another with his two apprentices. The driver already knew the route, and he took them onto the main street. Soon they arrived at the first courtyard.
This place is exactly as Qian Da introduced. It has been renovated recently. The red walls and green tiles, pavilions and towers look very exquisite and grand.
Yuxiu walked around the yard and found that all the furniture in the house was brand new and wiped clean.
"The previous owner of this place was an imperial merchant. This house was originally a dowry prepared by their family for their daughter. However, they later offended someone and were ostracized. They could no longer gain a foothold in the capital. They had no choice but to get rid of several properties."
Qian Da followed behind and introduced that, in fact, they had dealt with that royal merchant several times. He was straightforward and generous, and had a sharp business mind. However, he had robbed other people's interests, so naturally he would be suppressed. Fortunately, they only lost some money, and the family was able to withdraw safely, which was a blessing.
"No wonder the house looks so well-equipped. It looks like this place is pretty good."
Yuxiu was satisfied, but she wanted to look at other places. Qian Da had no objection and took them to several other houses.
Overall, it seems that Qian Da is a pretty down-to-earth person when it comes to doing business. He explained the pros and cons of everything in detail to Yuxiu, and his explanations were basically the same as what Yuxiu had seen herself.
By the time they finally returned to the dental clinic, two full hours had passed.
"We just want these two houses. When can we get the deeds ready?"
Yuxiu was too lazy to choose and directly decided on the first and second courtyards.
Although the first place was not very big, there were only three of them now. Even after Cui's baby was born, there would be enough space for them to live there. Then they could buy some maids and old women to serve them, and they would be comfortable and at ease.
Since the second place is facing the street and can have a side door, we can clean it up and use it as a place for Cui, the disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect, to see patients. We can also put some pills and powders there and make it into a small pharmacy. It would also be a good opportunity to take out the precious medicinal materials in the space and sell them together.
Yuxiu was not worried that those things could not be sold. You know, there were rich families everywhere in the capital, and ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were rare and hard to come by. Whether it was for gifts or to keep for oneself, they were good reasons for everyone to scramble to buy them.
"Just let me handle the deeds. When they are done, I will ask the lady to come over to sign and seal."
Seeing that Yuxiu, a young girl, was so decisive in doing things, Qian Da did not hesitate and quickly took out the two property deeds for Yuxiu to review, and gave her a very reasonable price.
The first house cost 18,000 taels of silver, and the second house cost 12,000 taels of silver.
It sounds really not cheap, but this is the capital city, a place where every inch of land is said to be worth a lot of money. Yuxiu was mentally prepared for this price and did not bargain at the moment. She took out a banknote to pay the bill on the spot.
"Miss, our princess said..."
Mother Qiu spoke quickly. When she came out, Princess Ning asked her to go to the accounting office to withdraw a silver note of 50,000 taels in order to help Yuxiu's family buy a house.
"Mom, you don't need to say more. Tell the princess when you get back. We appreciate her kindness. As for money, we are not short of it at the moment."
Yuxiu took a look at the small bag she was carrying and knew that in addition to Mother Qiu's spare clothes, there was also a large stack of banknotes.
"Well then... I will report the truth to Her Majesty when I return."
Mother Qiu was a little embarrassed. Her own princess might not have thought that she would be in a hurry to give money but sometimes she couldn't give it away.
After paying the money, the house over there would be hers. Yuxiu also made an agreement with Qian Da, and planned to take her stepfather with her to the yamen after she returned.
There was no rush about this matter. Qian Da asked someone to bring a group of maids and servants over and stand them in rows in the yard, so that she could see if there were any suitable ones to pick. If she didn't like any of them, it was okay, he could just get another batch.
