Chapter 521
Since she had said so, Madam Chen naturally nodded, and the group followed the broker out the door, winding their way around until they stopped in front of a house.
I went inside and took a look around. This house was so much better than the previous one. The house was very big, and the orientation was good. It was a very suitable place to live.
The price was reasonable, four qian of silver per month.
Seeing that Yunxi was satisfied with the place, Madam Chen rolled up her sleeves: "This price is still too expensive. Jizhou is not a big place, and you can't do any big business here. Four qian of silver a month is too high. Lower it a bit!"
The broker took a deep breath. "Madam, this price is really not high. You live nearby, so you must know that this street is convenient for going anywhere. Besides, there are so many rooms in this courtyard, enough for everything."
Without saying a word, Madam Chen immediately said, "Three coins!"
"It's too low, it's really not good."
"We're leasing long-term, paying for a year upfront."
"this......"
Seeing the broker hesitate, Madam Chen continued, "It's thirty-six coins a year, more than three taels, and it's paid in full upfront. Think about it carefully, where else can you find such a generous offer? Besides, if we're satisfied with our stay, we'll want to renew the lease. If we cooperate in the future, it'll save everyone a lot of trouble."
After hearing Madam Chen's words, the broker finally nodded.
Nearly four taels of silver were paid in one lump sum, which was no small amount!
Besides, these people can take out four taels of silver at once, so they're obviously not short of money. As long as we can get in touch with them, there will be many benefits in the future!
Madam Chen called out, summoning Yunxi, who was wandering around the courtyard, back to the brokerage firm to sign the contract.
As Yunxi walked out of the brokerage firm with the contract in her hand, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly—
Having my mother by my side is so wonderful!
Look, she came out for a stroll today as if it were a leisurely walk, without having to worry about anything, and things were already done.
She used to have to plan everything herself, and she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
The mother and daughter returned to the courtyard and saw a pile of things laid out there.
The cook, Madam Wu, quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, Miss, these are the fabrics and jewelry that Young Master Duan personally delivered just now."
When Madam Chen stepped forward, she saw that the fabrics ranged from bright and cheerful to deep and elegant, and the jewelry was the same. It was clear that Duan Huaichuan had bought this pile of things for his mother and daughter separately.
That's quite thoughtful.
Madam Chen picked up a tassel hairpin, held it up to Yunxi's head a couple of times, and suddenly smiled ambiguously: "Huaichuan and you really are a perfect match, look at your skill in choosing things, so good!"
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about..."
“I’m not making this up,” Madam Chen said seriously. “You’ve already come to Jizhou with Huaichuan, are you planning… to get married?”
Yunxi's eyes widened, and her voice instinctively rose a lot: "Mother, that's not true! Don't talk nonsense!"
Madam Chen rolled her eyes at her: "Alright, I've watched you two grow up. Do you think I don't know how Huai Chuan feels about you? It's just that you're so clueless. He's practically handed this hairpin to you, and you still can't see it!"
Yunxi pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the pile of jewelry: "He also gave you a lot."
"You brat!" Madam Chen raised her hand and slapped her lightly on the shoulder. "I'm so old, it's only because Huaichuan gave me gifts that I'm showing him respect! How can you compare to that?"
