In the small courtyard in the forest in the east of the city, Qingyu was sitting on a stool in the courtyard, and Zhongli was standing behind her, combing her long black hair that had just been washed.

The warm sunshine gently embraced the two of them, catkins and green leaves fell without wind, and a pair of swallows flew low through the courtyard, circling without returning to their nests.

Spring may really be coming to an end.

"There are flying birds in the south, but they can't fly...Miss, does the flying bird always have a mutual love for each other and be united in their hearts?"

Looking at the pair of flying swallows in front of her, Qingyu's eyes were a little red again. Yesterday, she heard her uncle tell the story of the Butterfly Lovers, which made her sad till very late, and her eyes were still feeling a little uncomfortable at this moment.

Regarding love, she is actually just ignorant, but falling in love between two people is always a beautiful thing, and the originally beautiful relationship is dyed into a tragic color... My uncle is a bad person.

Hearing Qingyu's question, Zhongli paused with the hand holding the wooden comb and thought seriously for a moment. Then she gently straightened Qingyu's head, brushed the comb over her silky hair, and said to her with a smile.

: "Then only the birds themselves know."

"Then I think it's probably true. Since I've decided to fly away, at least I should be happy in my heart!" Qingyu puffed up her small mouth and slowly blew away the catkins floating in front of her.

"By the way, Miss, let Miss Zhu and Yin Xin disguise themselves as men to study. Why don't we try it another day? If Miss pretends to be a young master, she might be a bit more handsome than my uncle." Thinking of the plot of the story, she whispered.

Suddenly he joked to Zhongli Xin with a smile.

"Sit down quickly and stop messing around." After hearing what she said, Zhongli rolled his eyes at her and patted her back with his hand.

…

After simply explaining to Shopkeeper Zhang the cooking method of the cake and the making techniques of some commonly used tools, the three parties signed a preliminary agreement on opening a dessert shop. As for the investment, opening of the shop and operating rules, the details will wait until the end of the Spring Food Fair.

Let’s discuss it together later.

When I left the restaurant, half of the crescent moon had already appeared in the sky, corresponding to the setting sun.

Chen Zhisu seemed to have something urgent at home. Seeing that it was getting late, she left in a hurry with a small bag of snacks after saying she would come back another day.

The time was actually only around three or four o'clock, so Situ Xi decided to go to the West Market to find some locals to ask if there were any suitable houses.

There are some shops specializing in housing business in the market, but not many.

After some inquiries, Situ Xi found a large-scale store.

The store was quite deserted at this time, with only two or three customers making inquiries, and some information about house transfers was posted on the notice board on the wall.

The Yaren in charge was entertaining the customers and nodding to say hello to him. Situ Xi entered the store alone and took a look around. Soon he found that the housing resources on the notice were either too small in size or too remote in location. They were really not suitable.

of.

As for the more suitable houses, most of them are willing to rent them out rather than resell them.

Not satisfied, after the group of customers just left the store, Situ Xi directly told the person in charge of the store what he wanted.

"Is there a slightly more spacious house? It would be better to be located some distance away from the downtown but not far from the street."

"Dear guest, are there none of the ones posted on the wall that suit your taste?" That Ya man was a young clerk. After hearing Situ Xi's question, he hurriedly came to him to inquire. His attitude was very good.

"Is there anything better?"

"This... is even better... it is said that there is a house by Qianshui. It is a row of courtyards and has three houses in total. However, the owner is only willing to sell them together. The price is really high, so

It has never been sold, sir, you see..."

Qianshui? Situ Xi thought for a while, Jinsefang seemed to be right on the edge of Qianshui, but he didn't know where this row of courtyards was.

The Qishui River flows through Xuan'an and branches into two rivers in the city, one is the Fenjiang River and the other is the Qianshui River. The Fenjiang River is in the south of the city, and the Qishui River flows through the middle of Xuan'an City, crossing the east and west sides of Xuan'an.

"Oh? Can you take me to have a look?" Situ Xi took out some broken silver and handed it to Yaren.

Weighing the weight of the silver in his hand, Yaren's face lit up with a smile: "Master, please come this way."

…

Following the young man as he walked around several ancient walls covered with tender green brocade, Situ Xi immediately spotted the courtyard next to the water.

The location of this row of houses is indeed good. It should be about the west point of Xuan'an City, and it is only a ten-minute walk from the West Market.

The environment nearby is very good. The sound of gurgling water flows under the window. There is no noisy city noise around. The air is extremely fresh and the view is wider than in the woods to the east of the city.

The courtyard door is also quite grand, and you can feel the obvious heaviness when you push it. When you walk into the courtyard, the flowers and plants in it must have been carefully sorted by someone, making them look particularly neat.

The rooms in the courtyard are exquisite and spacious, with antique flavor and ready-made furniture. They look full of charm. The owner must be a person of good taste.

"These houses were prepared by two old people for their children. The old man's son got Jinshi last year and moved directly to Dongshi. Their family has no shortage of money. The old woman wants to sell these three houses together.

The same person doesn't want to sell them separately."

The young man seemed to see the satisfaction in Situ Xi's eyes, so he smiled and explained to him the reason why the courtyard has been preserved to this day. He did not want guests to mistakenly think that there was any "hidden disease" in the house.

Na Yaren took Situ Xi to wander around the two nearby houses. Through the window, Situ Xi found that the decoration in this house looked very new, and there was no dust or fallen leaves in the yard. It was obviously just cleaned today.

There is also a separate study room in the courtyard, and the bookshelves are filled with various books. I think what this person said is quite credible.

After briefly walking around for a while, Situ Xi felt that this house was really nice.

"Dear guest, are you satisfied with this house?"

"What's the price?"

"It's not cheap, it costs nearly a thousand taels."

"Okay, stay with me for now, and I'll make a decision in a few days."

He took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Na Yaren, who also issued a note to Situ Xi.

I still have to go home and discuss the specific matters with Zhongli Xin. If I just buy a house without saying a word, it won't be that good.

"By the way, regarding the price, didn't you say that no one has bought this house for a long time?"

Next is the matter of bargaining.
