After her knot was untied, Old Mrs. Ye's mood finally recovered, and the next day she went out with Boss Ye to look at houses.
Mr. Cen was afraid that they would be cheated, so he sent Meng Yu to follow them.
Meng Yu went directly to the dentistry office and found a dentist he knew.
Yalang was a man in his early thirties. He greeted Meng Yu with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Meng, how come you have time to come here today? Is there anything Mr. Cen wants to tell you?"
"This is Luan Shuangcheng. All the shops under Mr. Cen's name are rented out through him, so we are all acquaintances."
After Meng Yu introduced Old Madam Ye and Boss Ye, he said to Luan Shuangcheng, "This is my grandfather's grandson-in-law, you can just call him Big Brother Ye. This is Big Brother Ye's mother, Old Madam Ye.
"They wanted to buy a house in Beijing, and Mr. Cen asked me to accompany them, and I immediately thought of you."
Although Luan Shuangcheng didn't know when Mr. Cen's granddaughter came, he was tactful enough not to ask.
"I wonder what Mrs. Ye and Brother Ye want from a house? We have all kinds of houses here at the pawnshop.
"How about this, let's go inside first, pick out a few that we like, and then we can go look at houses later?"
"Okay!" Old Mrs. Ye nodded.
Following Luan Shuangcheng into the dental clinic, he first took the three of them to a room on the second floor and asked someone to bring up tea.
After a few people sat down, Luan Shuangcheng began to ask them about their requirements for the house.
"First, please tell me where you want to buy a house? What size house do you want? Do you have any requirements on the age of the house?
"If you have any other requirements, feel free to tell me. I'll help you find a suitable house first."
We have already discussed this briefly at home.
So Boss Ye said directly: "We want to buy the area between General Ye's Mansion and the Yulin Guards' camp."
Mrs. Ye added that it would be best not to stray too far from Madam You’s dumpling restaurant.
"Yes, I want a small courtyard with two entrances, and a main house with three or five rooms.
"It's better if the house is newer, not too old."
The Ye family's conditions were not demanding, so Luan Shuangcheng quickly found information on seven or eight houses.
Then Luan Shuangcheng suggested: "These houses are not far away, why don't we go and take a look together."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Luan Shuangcheng and Meng Yu sat on the shaft of the carriage and soon arrived at the first house.
This house looks old and no one has lived in it for a long time. You can see lush grass growing on the roof before you even enter the yard.
When Old Mrs. Ye saw it, she shook her head repeatedly and went straight to the next set without even going in to take a look.
The second house is pretty good, with a neat two-story courtyard.
There is a row of back seats on the left side of the entrance. After passing through the hanging flower door, opposite is the main house with east and west ear rooms, and then on both sides are east and west wing rooms.
Although the yard is not big, it is flat and there is not much clutter.
"What do you think of this set?" Luan Shuangcheng asked.
Old Mrs. Ye didn't say anything. There was indeed nothing wrong with this set, but there was nothing particularly attractive about it either.
Luan Shuangcheng was very good. Seeing that Old Lady Ye didn't express her opinion immediately, he immediately said, "It's okay, don't worry. There are still several sets to come. Let's finish watching them all first."
Meng Yu frowned and said, "Brother Luan, please don't try your arsenal tricks on us. First you suppress the bad guys, then you praise them. You punish a few bad guys just to make it easier to sell the houses later!"
"We're all acquaintances, how could I do something like that!" Luan Shuangcheng cried out in indignation, "Isn't this all based on looking from near to far?"
Luan Shuangcheng flipped through the properties in his hand, pulled out one and said, "Then let's go straight to this one!
"This apartment is the best among the several."
Everyone got back in the car and soon arrived at the door of the house that Luan Shuangcheng mentioned.
The structure of this house is actually similar to the previous one, but it looks newer.
However, this house has three main rooms with east and west side rooms, and there is an extra corridor in the second courtyard.
The yard was also much larger than the previous one. In the middle stood a large pomegranate tree in full bloom. Behind the main house were several cherry trees, all of which had already produced fruit.
After Old Mrs. Ye entered the courtyard, she fell in love with it at first sight and couldn't move her feet.
This house is not only structurally sound, but also very spacious both in the yard and inside the house.
Old Mrs. Ye looked at the pomegranate tree in the yard, with its pomegranate flowers in full bloom. This was a truly good omen.
As soon as Boss Ye saw the expression on Old Lady Ye's face, he knew that she was optimistic about this plan.
However, he did not rush to ask the price. Instead, before Old Lady Ye could express her opinion, he said, "Now that we have finished looking at the houses here, let's go and see the remaining houses."
Old Mrs. Ye was almost about to ask the price, but was interrupted by her son's words before she realized that she couldn't show too much enthusiasm, otherwise it would be difficult to bargain when the time came.
"Yes, let's look at the other houses first and then decide."
Luan Shuangcheng had no choice but to take them to look at the remaining houses again.
Although there were two nice houses in the back, Old Mrs. Ye's heart was already occupied by the house with the pomegranate tree, and the other houses were no longer in her eyes.
After looking around for a while, Luan Shuangcheng asked with a smile on his face, "Old lady, what do you think of these houses? Is there any that you particularly like?"
"First, tell us what the prices of these houses are. We need to go home and discuss it.
"I might have to bring my family back to take another look, and I'll definitely have to trouble you then."
"Old lady, you are too polite. After all, this is buying a house, not buying vegetables. You should look around and discuss it more.
"I'll tell you the price of the house. You can discuss it with your family when you get home."
Old Mrs. Ye immediately paid attention to the house she liked.
Sure enough, the other houses were all over one hundred taels of silver, while the one she liked cost two hundred and twenty taels of silver.
This price was almost suffocating Old Lady Ye.
If she had not escaped and continued to stay outside the Great Wall, she might never have come across such an expensive item in her life.
But this is the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, so this price seems reasonable.
"Okay, let's go back and discuss it." Boss Ye saw what Old Lady Ye was thinking, so he continued, "We'll have to bring our family over to take a look later."
"Okay, whenever you want to see a house, just come to me at the office."
After looking at the house and returning home, Mrs. Ye fell into a dilemma again.
If she wanted to buy the house she liked, she might have to spend dozens more taels of silver, which is not a small amount.
Even if the eldest, second and third sons' families don't mind, she, as a mother, can't just ask for help as if it's her right!
