After the book was brought, Imperial Physician Zhang asked, "What houses are there over in Qingshi Lane?"
The broker was delighted, because the houses there were not cheap, and they were all places where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered. But these people were also greedy and afraid of death, so there were many houses available.
The first thing they asked about was the house in Qingshi Lane. It seemed that these people were not short of money.
The broker quickly opened the book, turned to the last two pages, pointed to the record and said, "There is a courtyard with three entrances. It was the house of the former vice minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Qian Chunhua asked: "Anything else?"
The agent thought she was dissatisfied, so he pointed to the next one and said, "Yes, there is another one here, a house with five courtyards."
Qian Chunhua felt that a house with five courtyards was too big. Now that she and her children lived together, a house with three courtyards was enough.
Qian's mother and Qian Xingshan will definitely move in separately from her father. Qian Chunhua plans to help her brother buy a house this time, while the housing prices are low, so that her mother won't worry every time she thinks of living in her daughter's house.
At worst, I can ask Qian Xingshan to write me an IOU, so that my mother won’t feel uneasy.
Seeing that the customer didn't say anything, the broker knew that she was not satisfied and continued to flip through the pages. "Well, here, there are two houses with two courtyards, and there is also a house with three courtyards over here."
The entire Qingshi Lane street is filled with houses with two or three courtyards. Qian Chunhua thought that these people were not short of money, so they built bigger houses.
"Uncle Zhang, which street do you want to see?" Qian Chunhua asked. She had already made up her mind. She would look at the houses in Qingshi Lane first.
Imperial Physician Zhang had long been interested in the house he had in mind, a two-story house on Jinxiu Street. Although it was a bit big for the two of them now, it would be just right after Zhang Yichen got married.
As the name suggests, Jinxiu Street is named after its prosperous street.
Imperial Physician Zhang plans to buy a house here. Seeing if he has any money left, he will decide whether to buy or rent a shop. He can then practice medicine and make a living by taking care of his grandson.
Imperial Physician Zhang smiled and said, "I'll go to Jinxiu Street later. Jinxiu Street is in the east of the city and it's quite prosperous. I plan to open a clinic there in the future."
Qian Chunhua had an idea and thought that she could also help her brother buy a property in the east of the city, preferably next to Imperial Physician Zhang's house, so that everyone could take care of each other.
"Uncle Zhang, let's go to Jinxiu Street first." Qian Chunhua said.
Imperial Physician Zhang nodded and said that it didn't matter where he went first.
Zheng Lin arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. Qian Chunhua and Zheng Hua took the children on the carriage, while Imperial Physician Zhang and Zhang Yichen sat in the chariot carriage.
When the agent learned that the customer wanted to see the house on Jinxiu Street, he was not annoyed. The shopkeeper had said that everything would be done according to the customer's requirements.
The door of the second courtyard on Jinxiu Street was covered with dust.
The guarantor was too embarrassed to step forward, so he took out the key and opened the gate.
The whole house consists of two parts, the front yard and the back yard, separated by an exquisite moon gate in the middle.
The front yard was spacious and bright, with the road surface paved with bluestone slabs. It was not clean and tidy at all, but covered with fallen leaves and dust.
On both sides of the bluestone slabs are gardens, which should have been planted with a variety of flowers, but now they are barren, with even few weeds.
In the middle of the yard, there is a tall sycamore tree with a lush crown, which adds a touch of natural charm to the yard.
The moon gate is the boundary between the front yard and the back yard. There are exquisite patterns carved on the lintel, which symbolizes auspiciousness and beauty. But at this moment, it is covered with dust and spider webs.
