Chapter 919 Buying Yiren Pavilion
Shu Yu paused, wondering about the shop.
"Is Mr. Yu not planning to rent out that shop anymore?"
Master Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I wanted to give that shop to Lord Lu as an apology for the trouble I caused the Lu family by not disciplining my servants properly."
Shu Yu, "..." There's no need for that.
Shu Yu shook her head. "I can't accept something for nothing, and there's no need to apologize. Besides, the rent Master Yu gave us before wasn't high; he was already being considerate of us."
If Mr. Yu had been this generous last year, she definitely wouldn't have refused; she would have showered him with compliments.
If we send it now, it won't sound good if word gets out.
She had just been appointed a local matriarch, and only two days later she accepted a shop; that was bribery.
Besides, she's not short of money now, and she's not that easily swayed.
Master Yu looked troubled. "To be honest, that shop holds some unpleasant memories for me. I've noticed that Lord Lu's clothing shop is doing quite well, and I've even visited that shop before. It's been renovated very nicely and beautifully. If..."
“In that case, I’ll buy it,” Shu Yu said. “If Master Yu is interested in making a purchase, then I will buy the shop myself, how about that?”
Finally, she added, "At market price."
Mr. Yu choked for a moment. He was also very upset that he couldn't give away the gift he wanted to give away.
But Shu Yu insisted, "Master Yu, I don't lack money. Just like you said, I put a lot of effort into renovating that shop, and I really didn't want to part with it. But I feel bad about taking the shop away for nothing. If you want to sell it, I'll buy it; otherwise, forget it."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be using a strategy of retreat as a pretext, Master Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl wasn't the type to become arrogant after suddenly gaining power, which actually put him at ease.
"Okay, then let's sell it."
Shu Yu laughed, and the two then began to discuss the sale of the shop.
Mr. Yu still wanted to lower the price, but Shu Yu said it would be based on the market price, so it would be based on the market price.
The shops on Ningshui Street are not cheap; it's the most bustling area in the entire Jiangyuan County.
However, Yiren Pavilion is located at the end of the street, and the shop is not very big, so the prices are not too high.
Based on the housing prices in Jiangyuan County, Shu Yu eventually bought the shop for five hundred taels of silver.
Master Yu sighed as he held the silver notes; surprisingly, not a single coin was missing.
He gave the deed to Shu Yu, and the two went to the government office to transfer the ownership. In this way, the Lu family got their first shop.
Holding the property deed in her hand, Shu Yu parted ways with Master Yu at the yamen gate.
She looked at the twins, a boy and a girl. The two children were very dependent on their grandfather, well-behaved, and had rosy complexions.
After saying goodbye to Master Yu, Shu Yu slowly walked home.
Everyone else has returned, except for Lu Erbai. He must have gone to the south of the city to ask his fourth aunt's husband about hiring laborers.
The old lady told everyone to eat first, saying, "Your father said he won't be back for dinner tonight, so let's not wait for him."
Everyone obviously knew that the shop had been bought, and they were all very excited.
Shu Yu found it amusing and showed them the property deed. Only after everyone was satisfied did she put it away.
Shu Yu intended to give this shop to Daya. If Daya and Zhao Xi really got married, this shop would be her dowry.
Although it was strange for a younger sister to prepare a dowry for her older sister, Shu Yu didn't care about such things.
