After the three entered the city, they immediately rushed to the county government office to change their household registration.

Su's mother and Su Weixi were waiting near the gate of the county government office. Su's father went into the government office alone and came out in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Dad, it's changed so quickly?" Su Weixi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his father Su who came back so quickly. He didn't expect that the ancient county government would do things so quickly.

"Let's go and talk over there." Dad Su did not directly answer Su Weixi's question, but took the two of them to the alley next door.

It turned out that when Su's father went in, he stuffed a silver bean into the yamen runner's pocket and asked about the procedure for changing the household registration and the housing prices in the city. The yamen runner must have been easier to talk to after receiving the money. In addition, Su's father was not as timid as the usual people who came to the yamen. His speech, behavior and dress were very different from his own, so he was willing to chat with Su's father for a few more words.

During the chat, the yamen runner learned that Su's father was planning to buy a house in the provincial capital, so he suggested that Su's father buy the house first and then change his household registration. It would be a good idea to register his household in the provincial capital, and it would save money on paperwork if it was done in one go.

When Su's father heard this, he thought it made some sense. Besides, all the people living in Qingshan Village came from a village in the border town, so his family would be outsiders there.

It would be better to register your household registration in the city directly. In the future, if you need anything, it will be more convenient than going to the village to find the village chief. After handing a silver bean to the yamen runner, he found an excuse to leave the county government office.

"So, should we buy a house first? Or should we find an inn to stay in first?"

"Let's stay at the inn tonight. We are all tired today, so we should have a good rest first."

The family of three found an inn that was neither too big nor too small and rented two upper rooms to stay in.

It was getting dark, so they asked the waiter to bring food to the room. After washing up, they rested. Climbing the mountain was really tiring, so the three of them unanimously decided to discuss buying a house the next day.

After waking up in the morning, Su Weixi went to the next room to look for his parents, but his father was not there, only his mother was there. His mother said that his father had gone downstairs to ask the waiter for breakfast.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Su's father came back.

"Dad, shall we go buy a house after breakfast?"

"Well, no hurry. I just asked the waiter in the store. Wang's Dental Clinic has a good reputation in Qingzhou City. Let's go ask after breakfast."

Half a cup of tea later, the waiter brought the breakfast ordered by Su's father. The breakfast now was not as varied as in his previous life. It was just ordinary meat porridge with steamed buns.

After the family of three quickly finished their breakfast, they headed straight to the Wang Ji Dental Clinic that the waiter had mentioned.

On the way, Father Su was still thoughtful and bought two buns for a little beggar begging on the roadside. He also asked about Wang Ji Yahang and found out that it was indeed similar to what the waiter at the inn said.

When they arrived at Wang Ji Dental Clinic, it was still quite early and not many people were around. Everyone in the shop was just sitting around. When the waiter saw the three people coming in, he immediately came over to greet them.

"Hello, guest. What can I do for you?"

"I'm planning to buy a house. Can you please find a real estate agent to help me introduce one to you?"

"Oh, guests, you've come to the right place. Our brokerage firm has the most rooms in the city. Please sit down and have some tea. I'll go and call our most reliable broker for you." The waiter greeted the three people while observing them with a subtle look.

Although his clothes were not fancy, a closer look revealed that they were made of fine cotton, and his temperament was not like that of an ordinary farmer, so his actions were more enthusiastic.

The three of them had just sat down and taken a few sips of tea when the waiter came over with Wang Yaren.

"May I know what this gentleman's name is?" Wang Yaren was not as enthusiastic as the waiter, but he did not look down on the three people either. He just greeted them calmly.

"My surname is Su."

"It's Master Su. I heard from my servant that Master Su is planning to buy a house. What are his requirements?"

"It's very simple. The house doesn't need to be too big. Just plan to buy one with two courtyards. It shouldn't be too noisy, and the neighborhood shouldn't be complicated." Dad Su briefly stated the requirements that the family of three had discussed before.

"Mr. Su's conditions may seem simple, but they are actually quite demanding. I do have a few houses that meet Mr. Su's requirements, but the prices are a bit..." Wang Yaren deliberately dragged out the last word.

What kind of person is Su's father? He also worked in the business world in his previous life, so he naturally understood the unfulfilled meaning of Wang Yaren's words.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the house you find meets the requirements, money is not a problem." Dad Su said this with confidence.

Not to mention the two boxes of gold and silver bars that he exchanged for his daughter in the previous life, the silver notes that Shen Jingzhou left last time were enough for the Su family to buy a nice house, not to mention it was just a small house with two entrances.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yaren immediately took out the blueprint and pointed to the house that met Su's father's requirements and introduced it.

With Wang Yaren's introduction, the Su family also had a general understanding of Qingzhou City.

The quietest area is Dongcheng District. Most of the famous families in Qingzhou City live in Dongcheng District. The public security is also the best, but the houses here are also the most expensive.

In addition to the famous Lin Academy, Beicheng District also has some large and small academies, so there are many scholars here. If you have students at home, you can consider living here. Two of the houses introduced by Wang Yanren are in Beicheng District.

South City District is the most lively and prosperous area. The county government office and many shops and restaurants are all here. It is the most convenient place for daily shopping and the main street is just a short distance away.

Xicheng District is a slum area with a dirty and poor environment. There is no house like the one introduced by Wang Yaren here.

After Wang Yaren gave a brief introduction, he asked the waiter to prepare the carriage and took the three members of the Su family to see the house.

The first house is located at the intersection of East City District and North City District and is a three-courtyard house.

Although it is not the two-courtyard house that Su's father requested, it meets the other requirements. It is quiet, the house is clean, and there is a well in each courtyard, making life very convenient.

But the price was not low, almost two thousand taels, which was beyond the Su family's budget.

In addition, the Su family felt that a house that was too big was not necessary for their own family, so even if the house was nice, the Su family did not plan to buy it.

The second house is on the edge of the south city area and is not as noisy as the main street.

If you want to open a shop, you can also set aside a part of the front yard. After seeing it, the Su family was not very satisfied, because the house looked rather shabby and did not fit in with the surrounding houses. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on.

However, the Su family did not expose Wang Yaren, just like the agent in the previous life would never tell the truth, they just asked Wang Yaren to take them to see the next house.

The third house is on the edge of the northern city because there are many educated people here.

Houses near Lin’s Academy have always been in high demand, and now that the academy has just opened, it is even less likely to have a house. Therefore, there is only a house on the edge that barely meets the Su family’s requirements.

Wang Yaren introduced that this area is full of scholars renting houses, so it is relatively quiet on weekdays and there is a good reading atmosphere.

Originally, the Su family was quite satisfied with the house, but as soon as Wang Yanren finished speaking, Su Weixi heard verbal abuse coming from the next yard.

It turned out that many scholars were short of money and had heavy burdens, so they could not afford to rent an entire courtyard. Most of the houses here were demolished and rented out to several households, and some people lived with their families.

When there are too many people, conflicts are likely to arise, and there will be quarrels from time to time.

The Su family decisively refused to buy such a house. Wang Yaren took the three of them to see several houses, but they were either in remote locations or dilapidated and needed major renovations. Su Weixi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Dad, the houses that Wang Ya Ren showed us don't meet your requirements. How about we go to other brokerage firms to have a look?" Su Weixi said innocently, blinking his lively eyes at Wang Ya Ren.

"Oh, Miss Su, other dental clinics don't have as many rooms as our Wang's Dental Clinic."

"But your house is not as satisfactory as ours, is it?"

"Mr. Su, Miss Su, it's all Wang's fault. I promise that the next house will definitely meet your requirements. If it doesn't, how about you go to another brokerage firm?" After Wang's repeated apologies, the Su family pretended to be reluctant and followed him to look at the next house.

This time, Wang Yaren did not cause any trouble. Instead, he brought the Su family to a two-story house on the street next to the first house. The house was fully furnished and relatively clean, without any complicated neighborhood relationships.

According to Wang Yaren, the families next door are all locals and their houses are not rented to others.

The family of three were very satisfied after shopping around. After haggling over the price with Wang Yaren, they bought it for 1250 taels.

Wang Yaren went to the government office to handle the transfer procedures, and Su's father followed him to move his household registration to this house.

When Su's father changed his household registration, Wang Yaren asked a yamen runner he was familiar with to help him get it done quickly. Su's father gave Wang Yaren a lot of tips, so Wang Yaren generously asked the coachman to go to the yamen shop to call a few cleaning ladies to clean the house.
