Three days later, Lin Wanwan took Nan Xi and the other three, as well as Lin Jiu, Lin Wen and others, and went to the capital first.
Before leaving, she wrote a letter to Fu Junyi, saying that they had already gone to the capital, and if he had something to do, he didn't need to rush back to the capital, and she was just going to visit him first.
When Fu Junyi received the letter, Lin Wanwan and the others had already arrived and were looking for an inn to settle down.
"Girl, it's getting late. Let's take a good rest and go out again tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'm a little tired too. You can take Lin Jiu and the others downstairs to eat something. I want to get some sleep first."
"Okay, girl, have a good rest. Just call us if you need anything."
She was almost falling apart from the jolting ride in the carriage. How could she enjoy the scenery along the way? She was lucky enough to hold back from vomiting...
She ran to the bed, closed her eyes and began to catch up on her sleep.
The next day, after a good sleep, I asked for a big bucket of hot water to take a bath, dressed myself up, went downstairs to eat something, and then took people out for a walk.
She felt that the prefectural city was already prosperous enough, but compared with the capital, it was nothing! Streets were crisscrossed everywhere, shops were lined up, luxury cars could be seen everywhere, gold and jade were dazzling, silk and silk were fragrant, four rivers flowed through the city, and there were many buildings around, and vendors even set up their stalls on the bridges and along the way.
"Oh my goodness, I finally opened my eyes!"
"Girl, this capital city is too prosperous! Everything is sold here, and good things can be found everywhere!"
Lin Wanwan closed her wide-open mouth and said to Lin Jiu, "Go and help me find a job, okay? No, I have to buy a house and a shop!"
Wouldn't you be a fool if you gave up a business that could make a lot of money every day?
They asked along the way and finally found the place.
When the waiters inside saw someone, they all came forward to ask questions, very enthusiastic, and did not judge people by appearance. She thought about it carefully and felt that it should be so. There are so many dignitaries in the capital, if she offended someone by accident, she would be in big trouble.
Seeing that these people were all veterans, Lin Wanwan picked an older one. Although he was old, he could still work here, which showed that he was capable.
"Girl, do you want to rent a house or a shop?"
"Uncle, I want to take a look before deciding. Can you take me to see the house first?"
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, young lady. I'll ask my apprentice to go with me. Sorry, my legs are not very strong, please forgive me!"
After waiting for a while, the old man came over with a young boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"This is my little apprentice, Ah San. He doesn't like to talk much, but he's very hardworking and efficient at work. I usually take him with me to see the world so that he won't be unable to speak."
Lin Wanwan said nothing and nodded in agreement.
The master and his disciple took them on a long tour, never complaining and patiently showing them around.
When they arrived at the gate of a large house, Asan immediately ran to open the door, opened the side door and invited them in.
Lin Wanwan walked in and looked around. The house looked dilapidated, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. There were weeds everywhere and the water in the pond was polluted. It would cost a lot of money to renovate it.
"Girl, since you're here, why not come in and take a look? This house was used by a high-ranking official to house his mistress. Later, he was demoted for committing a crime, and his wife drove the mistress away, sold the house, and moved the family to a remote place. This house covers an area of 15 acres, which is considered a large house in the capital. Tsk, what a pity that it has been abandoned like this."
"This house is so good, why didn't it sell at that time?"
"It was sold before. Because it was sold at a low price, several families were crazy about it! In order to hype this place, they all used strange tricks, and finally the matter was reported to the government. The government had to step in to deal with it. They fined some silver and sealed the house for five years. It cannot be sold within five years. Alas, look at it, it is so dilapidated, who would be willing to spend money to buy it! This money is enough to build a new one!"
"Uncle, this house is so big, I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"
He put his hands behind his back, looked at the house and said, "The boss said five thousand taels of silver, no bargaining, and it was about the same when it first came to him. Who would have thought that it would be a waste of money!"
"Oh, it's really not cheap. The smaller one I just saw is only over a thousand taels, and it doesn't even need to be renovated. It's ready for living right away!"
"Yes! That's why I brought you here. It's not as easy as that place! The land in the capital is very expensive. The places I'm taking you to see are already very cheap!"
Lin Wanwan lowered her head and sighed. With this money, she could build several mansions on the farm! Everything is really expensive in the capital!
"Uncle, please take me to see the shop again. I will think about this house again."
"Okay!" The old man agreed readily and asked, "How big a shop do you want to see?"
Lin Wanwan thought about it and decided that since she was planning to open a shop in Beijing, she must open the best one!
"Is there a bigger restaurant with a good location?"
"Yes, there are, but the price is not cheap! Besides, there are old restaurants in good locations. If you want to open a restaurant, you have to think carefully!"
"It's okay, just take me to see it. No matter whether it succeeds or not today, I won't let you two work in vain!"
"Hahaha! Thank you in advance, young lady!"
The old man took them to the shops by the river. "In Beijing, the shops along the Luo River are the best. Not only can you enjoy the street view during the day, but the water view at night is also amazing! The big pleasure boats are parked in the Luo River. Oh, that voice is so charming!"
She turned her head to look at the river and saw that the waterway was wide and could indeed accommodate four or five large ships side by side. It seemed that the night scene was also very lively.
"Okay, we're here, Ah San, go open the door!"
