Chapter 109 The House is About to Be Acquired
"Qiao Er, I was just about to ask, when did you get here? You looked like you'd been busy for quite a while."
Su Yu asked.
Qiao Er bowed to Su Yu and said,
"My lord, the store wasn't open when I arrived, so I rushed here just in time for it to open."
Su Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Why are you so free? Why are you here to help?"
Qiao Er smiled and said,
"This is not my leisure time, this is Fufeng steward exploiting his subordinates,
Normally, Steward Fufeng should have been the first to watch over the store, but he used the excuse of having to pick up his master for an inspection, so I had to take over."
Fu Feng was not afraid of Qiao Er's complaint at all, and responded with a smile,
"Of course, the Lord's affairs are the most important. It is perfectly normal for me, as a subordinate, to go and fetch the Lord for an inspection.
But Qiao Er, I asked you to find out about the houses for sale on West Street. How are your results going?"
Su Yu didn't care about the confrontation between the two of them at all, but when she heard about the matter of the house, she immediately perked up.
Staring at Qiao Er with piercing eyes,
"How is it? Is there a vacant house? How much silver would it cost, and when can it be handed over?"
Su Yu was understandably anxious after answering a series of questions. Qiao Er replied directly,
"I have inquired about this. There is a house for sale in the east of Jinfu. They said that they have family matters and need to move. They want 2,500 taels to sell the house urgently.
Actually, if the business fails and you want to sell the house and return home, you can still lower the price. I estimate that two thousand taels should be no problem."
Su Yu thought about it for a while,
"Two thousand taels?"
Su Yu glanced at Fu Feng, then turned to look at Qiao Erdao,
"It's double the price of the Jin Mansion. It's normal for a house to increase in price. The main thing is, the land area can't be smaller than the Jin Mansion, right? How is the courtyard inside? Can it be renovated?"
This is the first house Su Yu bought in the other world, and it will be used as a wedding house, so he is particularly concerned about it.
Fu Feng opened his mouth,
"Master, don't worry. The houses on our West Street all occupy a similar size. This was planned long ago."
Qiao Er said again,
"As for the interior of the house, my lord, don't worry. I've already checked it out as a buyer. The courtyards inside are all in good condition and they've taken good care of them."
Su Yu was relieved.
"In that case, please take full responsibility and help me buy the yard. The money for the yard can be paid to Fufeng's branch. My money is still with her."
Fu Feng interrupted at the right time.
"That's right, the master's money is still with me. If you can reach an agreement, just let me know."
Just like that, Su Yu’s first house in this world dominated by women is about to be built!
It would be a lie if Su Yu wasn't excited. Just thinking about her own house made her feel at ease.
If Jin Xuerong and Fu Feng hadn't asked her to live alone in Shuiyunxuan right after she arrived, and hadn't assigned two people to serve her, no one would have given her instructions about what to do in Shuiyunxuan.
Su Yu might feel like a dependent.
Now, apart from the joy of buying his first house, Su Yu did not say that he was anxious to move in.
Because she was used to living in Shuiyunxuan, Chunyan and Dazhuang also felt at ease using it, as they were both loyal people.
Chunyan was more familiar with the backyards of the shops, and she took Su Yu to introduce the backyards of the two shops in the east of the city.
It's worthy of Fu Feng's attention. This is much more foolproof than what Qiao Wu did.
Su Yu took a peek at the shop in front from the backyard. Although the shop was crowded with people,
But fortunately, the guys in the store had been trained in advance and were able to handle the situation with ease, so the store didn't seem that noisy.
Yes, in the east part of the city, it is a circle of nobles, and servants have to consider their master's face when they go out in their behavior.
Su Yu praised again in his heart, he is worthy of being Fu Feng!
Su Yu is very relieved about this place.
"Everything here is in perfect order. You've handled everything well. There's nothing else I need to add, so I'll be leaving now."
Fu Feng hurriedly said,
"Since I brought you here, I must send you back!"
Su Yu suspected that Fu Feng wanted to be lazy.
"Qiao Er has gone to help me with the house purchase. There's no one here. Why don't you stay here to watch over me and take me back home?"
Fu Feng smiled and said,
"Master, you are joking. There are many people in this shop. Besides, there is the shopkeeper's manager. Why does he need his subordinates to keep an eye on it?
If I really need my subordinates to keep an eye on things, then what's the point of being a shopkeeper?"
Su Yu nodded.
"Okay, let's go back together."
When Da Zhuang heard that they had to go back, he hurried to the back door to prepare the carriage.
Chunyan originally wanted to go with them, but when she saw that there would be no one to serve her master after she left, she stayed.
Su Yu and Fu Feng walked towards the back door.
"Master, do you still remember the Wang family cloth shop?"
Su Yu paused, how could she forget the person who insulted Xue Rong behind her back? Su Yu turned to look at Fu Feng,
"Of course I remember. I forgot to ask you, how did you deal with her back then? How is Wang's Cloth Shop doing now?"
Fu Feng smiled and said,
"I opened a Jinji Cloth Shop across from them. My Lord knows that my reputation in Cangzhou City is much better than that of her Wang's Cloth Shop.
My subordinates sent people to buy out their goods, causing them to run out of stock and lose a lot of customers. I'm afraid she still thinks it's because the supplier she found is not good enough!"
Su Yu sneered,
"That's a good lesson, isn't it?"
Fu Feng smiled and said,
"My Lord, would you like to go and see what the Wang Family Cloth Shop looks like now? I heard from Qiao Wu that you passed by Qian's Pastry Shop earlier and you looked quite happy."
Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly. At that time, she and Qiao Wu were in a carriage and outside a carriage respectively. Which eye did she see? But it didn't stop her from going to see the excitement.
"Okay, let's go check it out."
Su Yu and Fu Feng got on the carriage, and the group turned out of the alley in the carriage.
Qingliu waited at the alley entrance for a long time, thinking that at least she could see Noble Lady Su from a distance. If she was lucky, she might even be able to go up and say hello. Then she heard Noble Lady Su's voice again.
But unexpectedly, he only saw a carriage! Looking at the outline of the carriage gradually disappearing into the distance, Qingliu stamped his feet in anger.
In the alley next to Jinji Cloth Shop in the west of the city, Su Yu and Fu Feng got off the carriage.
Su Yu originally thought that he would just take a look at Wang's Cloth Shop from the carriage, but unexpectedly Fu Feng said that he had something to talk to the shop owner about, so he parked the carriage directly in the alley next to Jinji Cloth Shop.
Su Yu just wanted to go to the intersection to take a look, and thought that there was no need to trouble Chunyan and the others to follow him back and forth, so he instructed Dazhuang and Chunyan in the carriage,
"Just wait in the car, we'll be back soon."
Chunyan and Dazhuang naturally obeyed the orders.
Fu Feng and Su Yu walked to the door of Jinji Cloth Shop together. Fu Feng bowed to Su Yu and went into the shop.
Su Yu stood at the door of Jinji Cloth Shop, watching people coming in in groups of three or two from time to time.
Looking at the Wang Family Cloth Shop opposite where almost no one goes in, I feel so relieved!
Su Yu walked a little closer to Wang's Cloth Shop. Just when he wanted to see how the condition of the shop assistants there compared to that of the shop assistants at Qian's Pastry Shop, he heard a faint cry for help.
