Chapter 243 Entering the Courtyard for the Third Time
However, given Miss Jiang's background, it's uncertain whether the higher-ups will approve.
After giving his instructions, Huo Ran hurriedly left. Liu Min then respectfully asked Jiang Mi, "Miss Jiang, is there anything I can do for you?"
Jiang Mi was already very familiar with Liu Min, and she was very adept at ordering him around.
"I need your help to find a suitable house for me, just like the requirements I mentioned earlier. It would be best if it had several courtyards, and it shouldn't be too far from the market. I'll be doing business later, and you might not know much about these things, which is why I said it shouldn't be too far from the market. Don't worry too much about the price, but I don't want to be ripped off, so the cheaper the better."
Liu Min took Jiang Mi's requests to heart and said respectfully, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I will do my best to meet your requirements. Give me two days."
Liu Min's attitude made Jiang Mi a little uncomfortable. She had no airs about the waiters in her restaurant either. In her opinion, everyone was the same, with no distinction between high and low status, and there was no need to put on airs.
"You don't need to be like this. I'm not your master. Just continue as before. Your behavior is making me uncomfortable."
Liu Min smiled sheepishly after hearing Jiang Mi's words, and then relaxed.
"Alright, then I'll listen to Miss Jiang. Anyway, my master also told me to listen to you. I'll go and do it now. Just tell me what else you need."
Jiang Mi nodded. She planned to find a shop herself, and once she found a suitable one, she would have Liu Min investigate its background.
After Jiang Mi and the others left, she wandered around the capital city. The capital city was really big. She wandered around for a long time and still couldn't see it all. Moreover, there were many bustling and lively places, and many markets.
Moreover, unlike her hometown, the shops in the capital were incredibly diverse, offering everything imaginable, and the quality was far superior to what she had encountered before. She even visited several soapberry shops, and although they all sold soapberries, they were much better than what she had seen before.
She wanted to open a soap shop, but practically no one here knew anything about soap. If she wanted people to believe what she was selling, she had to make something first.
Jiang Mi spent the whole day sightseeing. At noon, she arrived at the academy where Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhi were studying. The three siblings had lunch together before she returned to the inn to rest.
The capital city was so big that she was already very tired after just strolling around. After she woke up from her afternoon nap, Liu Min came back to find her.
“Miss Jiang, I have found several houses that meet your requirements. They are very close to the market. You did not mention which market before, so I have looked at all the suitable ones. You can go and see them anytime.”
Jiang Mi was surprised that Liu Min was so efficient and completed the task in such a short time. She asked, "How many companies did you contact?"
"There are about seven houses, three new ones and four that have been lived in. They are being sold because people urgently need money."
Jiang Mi admired his speed, but since she had already found it, she decided to go and take a look, since she had nothing else to do anyway.
Jiang Mi followed Liu Min to the first house. The location was quite good; everything was available for sale outside, making it convenient to buy whatever she wanted, as she could see it as soon as she stepped out.
“This house is a three-courtyard house, with three entrances and three exits. Isn’t it a bit small? I’m thinking that there are many people in our Jiang family. In the future, my brothers and sisters-in-law will have little nieces and nephews. I’m afraid there won’t be enough room for them then.”
Liu Min laughed and said, "You're thinking quite far ahead. It's still a long way off. By then, you might find this house too run-down and want to move to a new one."
Liu Min's words made sense. Jiang Mi looked at them and thought they were good, so she could consider buying them. She then looked at other houses. Although they were all pretty good, they were either too far away, making it inconvenient to buy things, or they were too small to accommodate so many people.
It's not that we can't find a place to live, but now that we have money, we don't want to live a frugal life like before.
"Is there nothing you like? Then I'll look for some more."
Liu Min's speed
It will happen very quickly. The main reason is that the good houses nearby have definitely already been bought. Now it just depends on whether others are willing to sell. Although the first house is a little small, it is very close to the shops and it is very convenient to do anything. It is a suitable location. If all else fails, that house will do.
When Liu Min returned with the information, he found that none of them were as good as the first one. Jiang Mi went to see it herself and found that the house had been built in recent years. It was just that the owner was leaving the capital and was preparing to sell it.
The homeowner kept praising his house: "Young lady, putting everything else aside, my house is surrounded by so many shops. Whatever you want to buy, it's just a short walk away. It's incredibly convenient. Besides, my house is very new. It was just renovated recently. It's just that I urgently need money back home, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to sell it."
Jiang Mi was indeed quite satisfied. If her two older brothers really entered the government and became officials, the government would definitely provide them with a mansion, and they might not have to live here anymore. At that time, it would be spacious enough for Jiang's mother and Jiang Cheng, an elderly couple, to stay here, and they could come back to stay occasionally.
"Okay, you can decide whether to pay a deposit first or do everything at once. I'm in a hurry to move in, so you'd better get your things out of here as soon as possible. I need to check the rest."
Jiang Mi didn't bring many people with her, but fortunately, Huo Ran had his people who could help her a lot.
The man quickly replied, "Okay, okay, we're preparing to go back to our hometown in the next few days. We're already packing our things. I'll have someone notify you to come and see the house. But where should I look for you?"
Liu Min said, "No need, just come find me. I'll inform Miss Jiang then. Also, please keep the buyer's information confidential and don't tell anyone else."
Upon seeing this, the man dared not harbor any wicked thoughts and quickly said, "Oh dear, I don't know this young lady at all, so what can I say? Don't worry, I definitely won't say anything more."
Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, he certainly doesn't know anything about Jiang Mi, so he won't go out and say anything nonsense.
With the house settled, Jiang Mi felt half at ease. At least she now had a stable place to live. The rest could be dealt with slowly. The capital city was not like a small county town; she needed to think things through carefully. The shops here were inevitably involved with some high-ranking officials and nobles, so she couldn't come blindly.
