“Go and find your Old Master Zhang.”
Chu Jingfeng ordered the servant to open the door with a straight face. The servant quickly nodded and turned around to look for the old master.
“Young lady, let me show you around.”
When Chu Jingfeng turned to look at Su Qing, his face was joyful. He did not have the authority he had when he was with his servants. Wealthy families were almost all like this. They had to be dignified to their servants. They could not control their servants if they could not establish their authority.
However, Young Master Chu had gone a little overboard when he came to someone else’s house and ordered his servants around. He even casually brought people around the house.
However, Su Qing didn’t care about this. Maybe his relationship with the master was not as good as yours?
She did not want to be a busybody. She tried to buy the house smoothly and returned to fetch her parents and Xiao Chen.
“This way, please, Miss.”
Young Master Chu led Su Qing along the bluestone path to the house. She had already liked it from the outside, but it was even more fitting when she came in. It was even more appropriate for Su Qingxin than Young Master Chu’s house.
“Esteemed guest, sorry for welcoming you.”
A man in his fifties was wearing a dark-colored cotton robe. He held the hem of his robe and jogged over. Before he could even make a sound, he had already arrived.
Su Qing sized up this Old Master Zhang. His eyes were brilliant, and he had many wrinkles. Su Qing sized up Old Master Zhang, but Old Master Zhang looked at Chu Jingfeng and greeted him warmly with cupped fists.
“Young Master Zhu, your presence brings light to my humble residence.”
Chu Jingfeng placed his hands behind his back. His face was smiling, but his eyes were as deep as the sea. He did not return the greeting and just nodded. He introduced Su Qing to Old Master Zhang.
“Old Master Zhang, this Miss Su is my friend. She wants to buy a house in Jingshi Dao. When we played chess the day before yesterday, you said you wanted to sell this house.”
Old Master Zhang was stunned, but he reacted quickly. He was stunned for a moment before he put on a warm smile and cupped his hands at Su Qing.
“I wonder if Young Lady has taken a fancy to this old man’s house, and what price do you want to buy it at?”
“If you like it, please name your price, Old Master Zhang.”
When Su Qing heard Old Master Zhang’s words, she felt that this person was a wily old fox. He wanted you to give a price first and then judge how much you liked the house and the price you could accept based on your offer. Then, he would raise the price on top of your offer. In the business world, if the enemy did not move, I would not move.
She would retaliate by saying that you say the price if you sell the house.
Old Master Zhang smiled, but his gaze drifted towards Young Master Chu. Young Master Chu smiled and came over to help smooth things and bargain for Su Qing.
“Brother Zhang, didn’t you want to sell this house for 20,000 silver a few days ago? This Miss Su is my friend. Can I give her 15,000 taels?”
Su Qing couldn’t help but glance at him. This person thought she was a fool or Old Master Zhang was a fool.
Who would bargain for five thousand taels? It was probably because the base price of this house was 15,000 taels. Young Master Chu deliberately raised the price to 5,000 taels to buy it from him.
“What? Since he’s Young Master Chu’s friend, I’ll give her fifteen thousand taels!”
Old Master Zhang’s eyes flashed with heartache, but he reluctantly agreed. Su Qing also saw the anguish in his eyes. He felt that he was either good at acting or that the house was sold at a loss.
“Then I’ll pay the deposit to Old Master Zhang today and sign the deed tomorrow, okay?”
Su Qing didn’t care about what was going on between them. She had her eyes on the house and wanted to settle it immediately.
“What? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Old Master Zhang didn’t expect Su Qing to ask for the deed tomorrow, so he was a little troubled.
“Is Old Master Zhang in trouble?”
Su Qing raised her eyebrows. Could it be that the fairy’s jump had hit him? This house couldn’t be rented by Old Master Zhang, right? Is he and Young Master Chu singing the same tune to cheat her of her money?
“No, I just suddenly moved…Where is this family moving to?”
Old Master Zhang waved his hands repeatedly but was still in a difficult position. He looked at Young Master Chu and asked.
“There are empty rooms in my house.”
Young Master Chu immediately gave him a solution. Old Master Zhang was a little flattered.
“This? Can I?”
“Why not? I’ll be lonely living alone in such a big courtyard. It’s settled. I’ll be your witness. I’ll pay the deposit today and go to the county government to sign the deed tomorrow.”
Young Master Chu smiled kindly and helped Old Master Zhang settle the matter of selling the house. He even lent his home to Old Master Zhang’s family to help Su Qing buy the house.
Su Qing glanced at him again. She was not an ignorant girl who would try to curry favor for no reason. This kind of person was even more dangerous. This Young Master Chu was like a smiling tiger.
“Alright, then we’ll write the white deed. There’s no need to pay the deposit. We’ll go to the yamen tomorrow and pay the money and sign the deed.”
Old Master Zhang was pleased with Young Master Zhu’s promise. He didn’t even need Su Qing to pay the deposit.
“Alright, 1’11 come to Old Master Zhang tomorrow morning.”
Su Qing nodded. It was better this way to avoid trouble.
“Since the house matter has been discussed, let’s celebrate. My residence just so happens to have a new jar of good wine.”
Old Master Zhang smiled and invited Su Qing and Young Master Chu to stay for dinner. It was as if he was not the one who was hesitant and troubled just now. He was still pleased because the house was sold.
“No, I just finished eating. I appreciate your kindness, Old Master Zhang.”
Su Qing had just eaten her fill. Moreover, she was not willing to drink with strangers. Now, she just wanted to find a relay station and sleep well.
“If that’s the case, let’s do it another day.”
Old Master Zhang didn’t force them. He smiled and cupped his fists before personally sending Su Qing and Young Master Chu out.
“Miss Su, why don’t we have a drink?”
Young Master Zhu smiled brightly at Su Qing. Su Qing raised her eyebrows. Was he asking for benefits from her?
“There’s no need to drink. Young Master Chu, why don’t you tell me how many benefits you want?”
Su Qing was also a straight woman. She was too lazy to beat around the bush and waste time. She directly asked Young Master Chu to name his price.
She would give it to him as long as it wasn’t too much.
“Aiya, you misunderstood, little…Why would I want any benefits from you?”
Young Master Zhu was stunned by Su Qing’s question at first, but he quickly waved his hands and laughed so hard that he was almost out of breath.”
“I’m not a comprador. Why would I draw money?”
Su Qing’s expression was cold. Her face darkened. She did not show any joy because of Young Master Chu’s words.
“You and I have never met before. You won’t help me for no reason. Tell me, what’s your motive?”
Aiya, why is the lady so suspicious? “What’s the purpose? I’m helping you bargain because I’ve disappointed you with the house sale. If you’re unhappy, you can give twenty thousand taels of silver to Old Master Zhang.”
The smile on Young Master Chu’s face since they met disappeared. He pursed his lips as if he was a little angry.
This scene reminded Su Qing of his younger brother’s angry look when he couldn’t get his toys. Could it be that she had misunderstood this Young Master Chu?
“I’m sorry, I was overthinking. I appreciate your help, Young Master Chu.”
Su Qing felt her attitude was a little hurtful, so she cupped her fists and apologized to Young Master Chu.
When Master Chu heard Su Qing’s words, his smile immediately changed.
“Has Miss Su not decided on the courier station yet? If you don’t mind, you can
stay in my residence for a night..”
