Chapter 154: Modern Real Estate Agency
It's still not too late to change your mind. Su Wan quickly adjusted his state and thought about what to do next.
Go back and discuss it with your family first. Don’t make plans on your own.
Su Wan stood up from the edge of the field and dusted himself off.
"Third brother, fifth brother, let's go home and discuss our trip to Xiangzhou with our parents."
"If we go back now, we'll have to walk at night, which is probably unsafe. Why not go back early tomorrow morning?"
Su Chen calculated the time. It would be afternoon by the time he got a carriage back to the inn in Xiangzhou Prefecture. It would be a small matter if he had to walk on a mountain road to go home today, but he was afraid of walking on the road at night.
The two brothers were fine, mainly because they were carrying Su Wan and didn't want to take any risks. What if they encountered wild beasts or bad guys?
"I know, Third Brother. I'm talking about going back tomorrow morning. Let's go back to Xiangzhou City first. I want to go see the house. Even if my parents don't come, I will come anyway. We have to find a place to stay first."
Su Wan thought about it and decided that it didn't matter if her parents didn't come. She still had to run her business anyway. She couldn't abandon her career just because her parents disagreed. Even if she didn't make money for her family, she could make money for herself to have a better future and the confidence to survive in another world.
"Wanwan, it's okay. You have your third brother with you, so don't be afraid."
If his parents didn't come to Xiangzhou, Su Chen would have followed them. He had nothing to do at home anyway, so he took on the responsibility of protecting his sister. When doing business outside, he had to bring a thug to protect her.
"And me, I will also accompany you to Xiangzhou." Su Yi also expressed his opinion with a smile.
Xiangzhou has a bigger stage, and he has to find opportunities for himself.
He wanted to set up a stall to paint portraits for people and improve himself, as there would be more opportunities in Xiangzhou.
When Su Wan heard that his two brothers unconditionally supported him and accompanied him, what was there to be afraid of?
Fearless.
She held one of her brothers' arms with one hand, and she looked so petite in front of her brothers.
Unconsciously, the fifth brother, who was not much taller than her when they first met, had quietly grown taller and was more than a head taller than her.
As for the third brother, she couldn't even reach his shoulders.
"Thank you, brothers!"
Su Wan, who had a gloomy face just now, was comforted by his brother and is now smiling again.
Before leaving, Su Wan bought herself a bouquet of lilies and mixed in some other flowers. The warm colors she matched herself looked inexplicably beautiful.
It’s nothing, I just want to please myself.
"Old Five, you know what, the flowers Wanwan made herself are quite beautiful."
In the carriage, Su Chen looked at the flowers in Su Wan's arms and praised them.
Su Yi took a look and found it was indeed beautiful. Su Wan's aesthetic taste was on point.
"This rhododendron smells so good. It will definitely smell great if it is made into soap." Su Wan lowered his head and took a deep breath of the fragrance of the lily.
Lily is called rhododendron here. She adapts to local customs and follows folk customs so as not to appear different.
"We have so much grown on the farm, enough to make as much soap as you want. But we have to hurry. The farmer just said that the rhododendrons will only bloom for less than a month, and the other species will all wither after this month."
When Su Yi mentioned this, he had to remind Su Wan. Sure enough, when Su Wan heard it, he sat up straight.
Fifth brother is right. This matter must be implemented within half a month. We need to distill the flower dew quickly, otherwise this batch of flowers will be out of season.
After returning to Xiangzhou Prefecture, the three siblings had a simple meal at the inn where they were staying and rested for a while.
I asked the innkeeper where to go to view the house in Xiangzhou Prefecture.
The shopkeeper said that in Xiangzhou Prefecture, if one wanted to buy or sell houses, mansions, or servants, one had to go to the brokerage firm.
The dental clinic is not far from here, and it only takes two cups of tea to walk there.
The three siblings came to the brokerage house. The people working there were all very smart people. Those in charge of house buying and selling were government officials, men who were good with abacus. Those in charge of slaves were literate old women who specialized in training these slave servants.
From a newborn baby to an elderly person who is about to die, as long as you are a slave and have not been released from slavery, your children and descendants will be labeled as slaves.
As soon as Su Wan and the other two came in, the doorman came to greet them.
"Greetings, distinguished guest. Are you buying or selling a house, or selecting a servant?"
Those who come to the pawnshop are all distinguished guests, because what are bought and sold in the pawnshop are mansions, not ordinary houses, but houses belonging to the government or the country, which are different from private houses built on personal foundations.
Moreover, the Yahang business has two kinds of business: one is the sale of houses and mansions, and the other is the sale of slaves. Who can afford to buy slaves to serve them? It must be the bourgeoisie.
The bourgeoisie calls them distinguished guests.
"I want to see the house!" Su Wan replied.
"Okay, look at the house, please come to the left, I'll go serve tea to everyone!"
The house goes to the left, the servants go to the right, you can ask for anything you want, and we guarantee you will be satisfied, a modern real estate agency.
However, they make money from the price difference of the imperial court, and they are a state-owned enterprise.
The person who received Su Wan was a young man in his twenties, who looked smart and capable.
"Dear guest, how many houses do you want to buy? How many people are there in your family? How many masters do you have, and how many servants do you have? I can recommend suitable houses to you based on the population. Do you prefer a bustling and prosperous area or an elegant and quiet one? What are the yard size, north-south orientation, layout, and approximate budget? Please tell me your requirements and I will recommend a house that suits you and arrange for you to view it immediately."
The service was really good. As soon as Su Wan came in and sat down, someone brought a stool for her. The receptionist stood and talked to her respectfully. Tea, water and snacks were all in place.
"There are eight people in my family, no servants, but since we have guests staying with us, we can count them as twelve!"
Su Wan also included her uncle's family. She wanted to find them to work for her, so they would have to stay in Xiangzhou in the future. She would give them a room each!
"Okay, then based on the number of people in your house, three courtyards would probably be enough. There would be enough rooms for everyone, not just the master bedroom, but also servants' rooms and guest rooms. Generally, a house with three courtyards would have four servants' rooms and four guest rooms. Or, if your guest wants a larger room, that's also possible."
"How much would it cost to buy this three-story house?"
After hearing what he said, Su Wan thought it might be a bit expensive and wondered if it was within her budget.
Her budget is a maximum of two thousand taels, no more.
"Dear sir, it depends on the location. If it is near a busy market, it will naturally be more expensive, but in a quiet and secluded area, it will be cheaper. Wait until I take you to see the details, and then you can make your choice!" The waiter patiently explained to him.
"Okay, then take me to see it now!" Su Wan couldn't wait.
It doesn’t matter if it’s quiet or remote. What we want is quietness so that we can work well.
