Gu Yunxi chatted with her for a while, then stood up and left.
She still had to do some errands. When she left home this time, Gu Yunxi brought several hundred taels of silver.
However, instead of carrying it with you, you put it in the space.
She wanted to buy a small house in the town so that Lu Jianchuan and Lu Jian'an wouldn't have to work so hard while studying, and Father Lu wouldn't have to drive a carriage back and forth every day.
Father Lu's carriage stopped in the open space outside the embroidery shop. After Gu Yunxi came out, he told him that he wanted to find Uncle Quan, the middle man.
Father Lu didn't even ask what Gu Yunxi wanted to do with his wife. He just drove the carriage and took Gu Yunxi straight to Uncle Quan's house.
When Uncle Quan opened the door, he saw Brother Lu and Gu Yunxi. His faces were full of smiles, as if he were seeing the God of Wealth: "Oh, isn't this Brother Lu, the little lady of the Lu family? You are..."
Uncle Quan was very impressed by the Lu family. He had been a middleman all his life, selling land and houses. He had never seen such a kind of person.
Surprisingly, this was the first time I saw someone buying a field. What was written on the land deed was not the name of the owner, nor the husband of the young lady of the Lu family, but the name of the young lady of the Lu family.
Women's families have no family status to speak of. It's really hard for people not to remember that the little lady of the Lu family is so valued by her husband's family!
Uncle Quan asked with a smile. Gu Yunxi did not go around the bush and explained his purpose directly: "Uncle Quan, is there a house with a yard for sale in this town? I want to buy it."
When Uncle Quan heard this, he thought it was business! He suddenly became more enthusiastic and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, there are several of them, they were all recently released."
With that said, Uncle Quan went into the house to get the key, and took Gu Yunxi and Father Lu to see the house.
Father Lu was a little surprised. His daughter-in-law never mentioned at home that she wanted to buy a house in the town. However, in front of the middle-aged man, he didn't show it on his face.
Although Father Lu has never bought a house in the town, he knows without thinking that it is not cheap!
Uncle Quan asked as he walked: "Miss Lu family, how big a house do you want to buy? I have several small courtyards here, all with a square layout."
Gu Yunxi actually didn't have much idea about the houses in the town. She thought that the buildings in this era were all similar, so she immediately replied: "Uncle Quan, please take us to have a look. After that, we can compare them. The price is different." How is it?"
Uncle Quan agreed with a smile. He wished he could take more people to see it every day. The more people saw it, the more sales he would make.
The three of them first went to see the first house. When they opened the door, they found that it was a little messy inside and the house was a little dilapidated. However, the house was in a very good location. After exiting the alley, it was near the largest restaurant in the town. It could be said that it was in the center of the town.
After seeing the first house, Gu Yunxi and Father Lu had dull expressions. When Quan Shu saw them, he understood that they might not be very satisfied, so he took them to see the second house.
The second house is not far away, and even walking to the academy does not require a stick of incense. However, the area is a bit small.
Opening the door and going in, the yard was full of flowers and plants, which was very elegant. Uncle Quan said: "The owner of this house was originally a wife who taught in the academy. He lived there for decades. The number of people in the family grew and there was no room for them anymore. I just plan to change my house.”
"Although this house is small, it is close to the academy. If I have a child in the future, it will be much more convenient for me to go to the academy to study!"
Uncle Quan was talking non-stop while taking them to visit various rooms in the house. He didn't know yet that Lu Jianchuan had recovered from his leg injury and was now studying in the academy!
Gu Yunxi smiled and said: "Uncle Quan, my husband-in-law and brother-in-law are studying in the academy now!"
Uncle Quan showed a very surprised expression: "Oh, we are really in the right place today. If you buy this small courtyard, it will be convenient for your husband-in-law and brother-in-law to go home."
This is exactly what Gu Yunxi was thinking. However, the house he entered this time was indeed a bit smaller. If he had children in the future, he might not be able to live in it.
She looked at Father Lu: "Dad, what do you think?"
Father Lu was watching the carps swimming around at the edge of the water tank. When he heard Gu Yunxi calling him, he reluctantly looked away.
Dad Lu: "It's pretty good, just a little small."
After hearing this, Uncle Quan felt relieved and took them to see the third house.
The third house was far away from the academy. It took a full cup of tea to walk from the second house.
This house is quite spacious, quite similar to the Lu family's blue brick house in the village, and it looks newer than the previous two houses.
The furnishings in the room, as well as the canopy bed and the table, are all 89% new, which shows that the room is not very old.
Uncle Quan explained: "Young lady of the Lu family, the original owner of this house is in business. The original owner is away all year round and will never come back, so he asked me to sell it for only two hundred taels of silver."
Gu Yunxi was a little surprised. One of the two houses he looked at cost 250 taels of silver, and the other cost 280 taels of silver.
And this one looks to be twice as big as the previous two, but the price is even less.
Gu Yunxi looked at Uncle Quan with some suspicion, and Uncle Quan hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, little lady, this is not a bad house, it's just that the original owner's parents lived there, and they passed away in this house, plus here The location is not as prosperous as the one over at the academy, so it is cheaper."
Uncle Quan did not hide the death of the original owner's father and mother, and told Gu Yunxi truthfully. As for whether the deal can be concluded, it depends on whether they mind.
Gu Yunxi listened with a look of surprise. As a person from the new century, she was not taboo about these things, but I wonder if her family would mind?
Gu Yunxi looked at Father Lu, asking for his opinion.
Father Lu looked at this wing and then that wing, nodded from time to time and said, "The materials used in this house are quite good."
Uncle Quan agreed: "Yes, I heard that when the house was built, the original owner brought the woodwork back from the north."
The north that Uncle Quan mentioned refers to the area outside the Pass, where fir trees are abundant, and fir trees are the best for building houses.
Father Lu nodded, very satisfied with the house.
However, he did not decide immediately, but discussed with Uncle Quan: "This house is indeed good, but we have to go back to discuss it with my family and get back to you tomorrow, okay?"
Uncle Quan didn't expect that he would be able to decide on the house after just one viewing. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Besides, when the Lu family bought the land, he could see that this family was also honest and cheerful people.
The few of them chatted happily. After looking at the house, they chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Father Lu and Gu Yunxi rushed to the academy to take Lu Jianchuan and Lu Jianan home.
