Chapter 944 Lu Sanzhu Bargains
Ying Xi quickened his pace, and by the time Lu Sanzhu thought he had come up with a brilliant name and looked up to speak, Ying Xi was already more than ten meters away from him.
He immediately became displeased. "Hey, little girl, I'm calling you. I'm your third master. How dare you be so disrespectful!"
"Third Uncle, what's wrong? Hurry up, let's go to the estate to take a look."
Lu Sanzhu immediately fell silent and hurriedly ran to Shu Yu's side, asking, "Yu, what do you think of this place?"
At first, he followed Shu Yu with great interest, nodding in agreement from time to time and offering his own opinions. But after visiting three different places and finding none satisfactory, he lost interest.
"It's alright, let's go talk to the host first."
As they were talking, Shu Yu and Da Niu arrived at the entrance of the manor.
The estate was guarded by a middle-aged couple. They had met Da Niu yesterday and knew that they had come to discuss the sale of the estate, so they quickly invited them in.
Shu Yu soon met the host, who was surprisingly young, looking to be around twenty-five or twenty-six.
Upon seeing Da Niu, he immediately came up to him, "Brother Lu, you're here. You said you'd go back and ask around, how's it going? Do you have any plans to buy it?"
Da Niu stepped aside and introduced them, "This is my cousin; she's the one who wants to buy the estate. A Yu, this is Young Master Jiang."
Young Master Jiang was taken aback. He knew that Da Niu was looking for someone else, and when he saw him coming over with people, he thought that Lu Sanzhu, who was standing behind him, was the buyer.
Unexpectedly, it was this girl in front of me... who didn't look very old?
Young Master Jiang frowned. Although he was eager to sell the estate, he still wanted to ask for clarification. "Miss Lu, what do you think of my estate? Are you planning to buy it?"
“I’ve already looked around the area and I’m interested. I just don’t know what Mr. Jiang’s requirements are, or how much he’d like to pay? If it’s suitable, we can finalize the deal; if not, I’ll keep looking.”
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Young Master Jiang pursed his lips and held up a number.
"Eighteen hundred taels?" Shu Yu asked.
Lu Sanzhu, standing to the side, gasped, "This is way too expensive."
Young Master Jiang immediately said, "It's already very cheap. I have hundreds of acres of land around here, and my estate also has three or four acres. It was just built five years ago and looks very new. 1,800 is a very reasonable price."
Lu Sanzhu clicked his tongue in amazement. Over a hundred acres of land?
Does Ayu need to buy so much?
However, the house is indeed quite new; he had already looked at it when he came in earlier, and it's quite large.
But 1,800 is still very expensive. You know, the gold that the emperor rewarded Ayu with was only equivalent to 2,000 taels of silver. If buying a manor will use up all that reward, will Ayu still have any money?
I just lent him two hundred taels. Will he have to ask for it back before he even spends it?
Thinking of this, Lu Sanzhu immediately became anxious.
No, we have to bargain. We need to cut the price down by at least two hundred taels.
Therefore, before Shu Yu could speak, Lu Sanzhu shook his head and said, "That's expensive too. Look at your field, you haven't planted any grains, it looks no different from wasteland. In our village, a mu of top-quality farmland only costs twelve taels of silver, and even hundreds of mu only cost twelve thousand taels."
Shu Yu couldn't help but turn her head to look at him. "Wow, Uncle San. I've never seen you read many books before, but you're quite fast at calculating money."
