Longcheng.
Su Liuer got up early, had breakfast at the inn, and went to find the man.
"Madam Su, you are making things difficult for me. I can't just tell you the client's information."
Su Liuer took out a tael of silver from her purse, placed it in her palm and handed it over.
He said, "You've worked hard these past two days, so here's some hard-earned money."
One or two taels of silver is considered a lot of money in Qingxi Town, but not in Longcheng. However, it is a reward enough to shake this person.
He hesitated whether to answer it.
"Or do you want Miss Gu to come and give it to you personally before you are willing to accept it?" Su Liuer asked.
The middleman immediately reached out and took the one or two taels of silver.
"Madam Su, please wait here for a moment. I will write it down for you."
After a while.
"Madam Su, if you want to buy a house in the future, remember to come to me again. I have a better house!" The middleman handed the written paper to Su Liuer.
Su Liuer nodded and smiled, then left with the paper.
She took a look at the contents on the paper and was quite satisfied with the middleman's knowledge. What she wanted was the name and address, and the paper also wrote the ages and occupations of the three people.
Judging from the information above, Su Liuer could not see any connection between these three people. They were completely unrelated.

After changing her appearance, Su Liuer came to a shop. The owner of this shop was the one who said today that he wanted to keep the house for retirement.
After Su Liuer entered the room, she went to the counter and asked the waiter, "Is your shopkeeper Lin here?"
"Yes, sir, what do you want to see our shopkeeper?"
Su Liuer smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "I have something personal to discuss with him. Someone told me that he has a vacant house for sale. I want to buy it. Could you please ask him if the house has been sold?"
While speaking, Su Liuer also placed a string of twenty copper coins on the counter.
It was just a message, and the guy happily took the money and went to find someone.
Not long after, Su Liuer met the shopkeeper.
As soon as Manager Lin came out, he looked Su Liuer up and down. She was ugly and dressed in ordinary clothes. She didn't look like someone who had the money to buy a house.
But he did not rule out the possibility that this person was someone else's servant, so he still put on a smile and walked forward to greet him.
"Young man, are you going to buy a house for yourself?" he asked kindly.
Su Liuer nodded dully and said, "Yes, I want to buy it. Your house is two hundred taels of silver, right? I have the money with me. If you can sell it, I can buy it right away."
Shopkeeper Lin looked at the small package in Su Liuer's hand, his shrewd eyes turned, and he responded:
"Yes, it can be sold, but we might need to negotiate the price. To be honest, my house is very popular right now. I just rejected a buyer this morning."
The rejected buyer was right in front of him, and he was using Su Liuer as a stepping stone to raise the price.
"Ah? But when I asked, the middleman said your house is priced at two hundred taels of silver. I can't afford more than that. This is the amount my family has saved for a long time. It seems I can't buy it..."
Su Liuer lowered her head, tightly clutching the small package in her hand, muttering something very sadly as she was about to turn around and leave, seeming to be very lost and disappointed.
"Wait! Little brother, don't leave in a hurry. The price can be negotiated!" Shopkeeper Lin quickly stopped Su Liuer.
Su Liu'er held the small package in her hand and said in disbelief, "Didn't you reject a buyer this morning because you were not satisfied with the price? You must be asking for more money. I'm not lying to you, I really can't afford it even if you pay more. Let's just forget it..."
