Jiang Yao and Zhao Xicui came to the door of the family.
A small house with a yard, located in a remote area, very quiet.
Jiang Yao knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman, plainly dressed, thin, without makeup, and her face looked a bit fierce.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, does Shopkeeper Qian live here? There is a shop on the street owned by Shopkeeper Qian. I want to rent it," Jiang Yao said.
The woman said: "Follow me."
Jiang Yao and Zhao Xicui followed the woman into the courtyard.
The courtyard is very small, with two rooms and a living room.
A low cough came from one room.
Jiang Yao and Zhao Xicui followed into the middle hall.
"You guys just sit down."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left.
Jiang Yao and Zhao Xicui were sitting in the hall.
After waiting for a while, I saw the woman supporting a middle-aged man coming over.
The middle-aged man was very thin, with prominent cheekbones and a pale face. It was obvious that he was not in good health.
The woman had a fierce look on her face, but when she looked at the middle-aged man, her face was filled with tenderness.
The middle-aged man coughed twice, and when his breath stabilized, his eyes fell on Jiang Yao.
It's obvious that she is the one who can make the decision.
"This lady wants to rent a shop?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, Shopkeeper Qian, how do you rent this shop of yours?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Our shop is only for sale, not for rent," the woman said.
"How much does it cost?" Jiang Yao continued to ask.
The middle-aged woman did not answer immediately, but looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man patted his hand on the back of the chair and made a number.
The middle-aged woman said: "Sixty taels."
"Sixty taels?!" Zhao Xicui was startled and looked at Jiang Yao.
Obviously this number shocked her, it was unexpectedly low.
They also learned about the prices of shops on the street.
Larger ones and those in better locations cost three to four hundred taels. Those in worse locations cost two to three hundred taels.
Although the shop they were interested in was smaller, it was in a good location and cost about two hundred taels.
As a result, this store only costs sixty taels. Isn’t this too low?
"Shopkeeper Qian, can I see the property deed?" Jiang Yao asked.
Shopkeeper Qian said to the woman: "Go and get the house deed."
The woman left. After a while, she brought a house deed and handed it to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao took a look and found that it was indeed that shop. The owner was the shopkeeper Qian. It had the seal of the government, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"I've also read the deed of the house. If you want an answer, we'll sell it to someone else." The woman said impatiently.
Jiang Yao quickly made a decision: "I want it, but I don't have that much money."
"First give me a deposit of ten taels of silver," the woman said.
"I paid a deposit, and you have to write me a certificate." Jiang Yao said.
The two parties reached an agreement and Jiang Yao gave the money.
The money shopkeeper wrote a certificate of receipt of ten taels of silver and put his fingerprints on it.
This was how the deal was settled.
After making an appointment to do the business tomorrow morning and go to the government to go through the deed, Jiang Yao and Zhao Xicui left shopkeeper Qian's house.
After going out.
"Sister Jiang Yao, I always feel that there is something wrong. Why is this shop so cheap? Is there any problem?"
Zhao Xicui said.
She was just dazzled by the cheap price and felt that she had made a profit.
Now that I think about it, I feel like there might be something wrong.
"There is indeed a problem." Jiang Yao said.
Zhao Xicui was shocked: "What's the problem?"
When Jiang Yao took a fancy to this shop, she chatted with people around her and discovered the problems with this shop.
"Two tenants in succession had problems. One opened a rouge shop. Soon after opening, the rouge sold gave people rashes. There was also a ready-to-wear shop. A customer at the door was seriously injured by a door plaque.
Later, it was reported that the feng shui of that shop was not good. Businessmen are very good at feng shui, so after a few months, no one rented the shop."
Zhao Xicui was shocked that such a thing could happen. No wonder the shop was so cheap.
"Sister Jiang Yao, you knew there was something wrong with that store, why did you still buy it?" Zhao Xicui was a little confused.
He turned anxiously: "Sister Jiang Yao, let's go quickly and get the deposit back."
"No, this store is so cheap. It's hard to find wealth at risk." Jiang Yao said slowly.
"How can we do business if Feng Shui is not good?"
"It's not necessarily that Feng Shui is bad, I think it's man-made. Do you still remember what was sold on both sides of the shop?"
"One family sells rouge, and the other sells clothes..." Zhao Xicui suddenly thought of something, "You mean..."
"Yes, I think I just stole someone's business and offended someone." Jiang Yao said, "Even if the feng shui is really bad and there are evil spirits, I have a strong life and I will definitely be able to control it."
After all, this sixty-tael shop is too rare.
It can be encountered but cannot be sought.
Although Zhao Xicui was a little worried, she said nothing.
When Jiang Yao and Zhao Xicui returned home, they saw someone looking in the alley at the door.
It was Qian Zhaodi.
When Qian Zhaodi saw Jiang Yao coming back, she was immediately happy and ran over quickly.
"Yao Yao, you are finally back, and a distinguished guest is here."
Jiang Yao felt a little happier when she mentioned that the distinguished guests were coming to her door.
She guessed who it was.
"Master Ji is here?" Jiang Yao asked.
Qian Zhaodi nodded: "He's inside, coaxing Gouzi and Tianbao."
Jiang Yao entered the door and saw Zhou Duan squatting at the entrance of the hall.
The three people inside, Tianbao and Dog Zai, all kept eating snacks.
The two little guys' cheeks were bulging after eating, like little hamsters.
The puppy originally didn't like Ji Huaiye very much, but now that he was bribed by snacks, he smiled frequently.
As soon as Jiang Yao came in, Tian Bao, who wanted to bring her mother and Uncle A Ye together, immediately took the dog out.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye were left in the living room.
"Master Ji is busy with government affairs, how come you have time to come?" Jiang Yao said with a smile.
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to visit your old friends." Ji Huaiye said with a smile.
He was dressed in casual clothes, with a straight waist, black hair tied up, and a faint smile on his handsome face.
"How is the shop doing?" Ji Huaiye asked.
"After looking at a shop, I've almost made a decision." Jiang Yao said.
When Jiang Yao talked about trivial things, Ji Huaiye listened attentively and occasionally chatted with her.
Ji Huaiye must have felt that listening to this was a waste of time before, but after hearing what she said, he found it particularly interesting.
In the government office, things are busy and I feel tired.
Listening to her say this, I felt much more relaxed.
After Jiang Yao finished talking about her own affairs, she asked again: "How is Qin Sanshui's matter? Is the prefect giving you any trouble?"
"The prefect came here and wanted to call an army to hold him accountable. I said a few words and he left," Ji Huaiye said.
Ji Huaiye dismissed the prefect with a few words.
He is worthy of being the first assistant in the future.
Fortunately, she was a little worried about him before.
At the same time, she felt that this kind of strategizing man was particularly attractive.
My heart beat twice again shamelessly.
It wasn't until someone from the county government came and said something was urgent that Ji Huaiye turned around and left.
The little sweet baby sent him to the door.
"Goodbye, Uncle Aye, remember to come tomorrow." The little guy looked at it eagerly.
Those beautiful apricot eyes are exactly the same as Jiang Yao's.
"Come back tomorrow." The puppy said in a sweet voice.
His and Tianbao's priorities are different. It's not about bringing him and his mother together, but about food!
No matter what the reason was, Ji Huaiye felt relieved after hearing this. He touched the heads of the two little guys and turned around to leave.
Jiang Yao was tired all morning and had lunch.
Just slept in the room.
While sleeping, I heard Zhao Xicui's voice.
"Sister Jiang Yao, Mrs. Qian is here and says that the shop is not for sale."
