As soon as Song Wangyue stepped out of the room, she heard the words of the fellow below.
“You don’t know how famous King Qin was more than ten years ago! He was a good scholar and a good fighter, and he was even more brave in leading his troops into battle, and under his leadership, the generals had almost never tasted defeat. The year of the accident, it was the Qinwang Consort who suddenly died of illness, he came back from a thousand miles of Mercedes, and after burying the Qinwang Consort he didn’t know why he suddenly …… became a military master!”
Song Wan Yue walked to the railing and looked down, a pair of soldiers walked in, the leader seemed to notice her gaze, raised his head, just met her eyes, Song Wan Yue “scared” jumped, hurried back to his house, clanged the door.
“Military Master ……”
The shopkeeper hurriedly came out from behind the counter and nodded his head.
“Anyone staying in the shop, call them out, we need to question them.”
The shopkeeper answered in a panic and ordered his mate to call out.
Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue were also called down.
The man at the head of the group looked at the crowd one by one and finally landed on Gu Yi.
“The road guide.”
Xiao Si, who was standing behind Gu Yi, stepped forward and gave him the road guide, the man at the head of the group looked at it carefully and gave it back to him, “What are you doing in the capital?”
“To accompany my elder brother in his exams.”
“Ten years old?”
Gu Yi puffed out his small chest, “Yes. My mother said that in a few years I will be able to get a daughter-in-law.”
Some of the soldiers at the side were amused by his comment, and even the shopkeeper couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth.
The man at the head of the group stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, Gu Yi bared his teeth in pain and half of his body drew up, “Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!”
The man at the head of the group withdrew his hand and looked at the boy and the coachman beside him.
Gu Yi covered his shoulder, “They are our coachman and boy, my father is rich and has many underlings.”
“Hands all out.”
The coachman and the boy held out their hands, and the man at the head looked over them one by one. Both of the coachman’s hands had calluses, and the boys also had calluses on their hands, but they were not as deep as the coachman’s, and at a glance they did not work much on a regular basis.
The man at the head of the group withdrew his gaze, “Withdraw!”
The soldiers withdrew.
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and instructed the crowd, “Don’t go out today if there’s nothing else. Last night there was an incident at the King of Qin’s residence, and today there is a big inventory in the city, in case they take you away, we don’t know where to ransom you.”
The people thanked each other and went back to their rooms.
Song Wangyue and Gu Yi also headed upstairs, and just as they reached the upper floor, they heard Master Sun shout, “Young Master Gu.”
Gu Yi turned around and Master Sun came up smilingly, “Young Master Gu, I want to talk to you about cooperation.”
Song Wangyue had told him about Master Sun’s desire to sell hot pot base and herbal tea.
“Sure, let’s go inside and talk.”
Master Sun followed him in with a smile, Song Wangyue didn’t go in and went back inside her house.
Half an hour later, Master Sun left happily and Gu Yi came inside her house with a chess board.
After three days of playing chess, the tension in the street gradually dissipated. On the fourth day, Song Wan Yue could not hold back any longer and called out to Gu Yi to come downstairs, asked for the address of the dental office and went there in a carriage.
The big investigation in the past few days had caused a lot of anxiety, and the dental office had also been affected, with no one there.
When they saw Song Wangyue and Gu Yi enter, a dark-skinned toothman nearest the door immediately got up and greeted them, “Sir, Miss, are you two buying a house or a shop?”
“Let’s see the room first.”
First?
The Toothman heard the implication beyond her words and smiled with a mouthful of big white teeth showing, his attitude becoming even more attentive as he quickly introduced the four cities.
“South City, I think, not too big, a two-entry will do.”
The Toothman immediately went and got the keys and led them to the South City, looking at several suitable houses, one of which was attached to the shop in front.
“How much is this place?”
“Thirty thousand taels, including the furniture inside and all these things in the shop in front. The owner of this house was originally a merchant, and the shop was his own business, which was very prosperous, but then he didn’t know what kind of people he had messed with and lost his house overnight. Otherwise, you could not have bought it at such a low price, the furniture alone would have been worth five thousand taels of silver.”
“I’ll buy this one and the one in front of it, for a cheaper price.”
“All of them?”
The tooth man couldn’t believe that the young girl in front of him, who looked no more than eight or nine years old, had so much gumption.
“Name a price.”
Seeing how quick she was, the toothman didn’t raise his price, “Fifty thousand taels of silver in total.”
Song Wangyue also readily agreed, and went with him to the court to move the transfer and get the deed done.
In all her years as a tooth man, she had never met a customer who was so forthcoming. The tooth man was very happy, “Miss Song, if you want to buy a house or shop in the future, just come to me, I will definitely give you the lowest price.”
“Maybe I will come to you in the future.”
“That’s good, that’s good, I’ll be ready when you are.”
Gu Yi didn’t say anything until he was back on the carriage, when he took the two house deeds and looked at them, then folded them up and returned them to Song Wan Yue, “For big brother?”
“Half and half.”
Gu Yi didn’t understand.
“If big brother can stay in the capital, what about this mansion is naturally for him, if he can’t stay, I’ll rent out this mansion to earn a few rental dollars a year, and most of all, I can use the excuse of collecting rent to come to the capital every year in the future.”
Gu Yi was inspired, “Then should I buy all the ones I just looked at as well, so that we can come to the capital as companions in the future.”
Song Wan Yue, ……
flexed her fingers and flicked him on the head, “You can follow me if I come.”
“That won’t work, if I have a house here, I am coming with along to collect rent, if I don’t have a house, I am following you to eat soft food.”
Song Wangyue,……
“Turn around!”
The Toothman hadn’t even reached the entrance of the dental office when the carriage stopped beside him and Gu Yi poked his head out, “The remaining mansions I was just looking at, I’ve bought them all.”
Toothman, ……
stared at him blankly, not looking back for a moment.
“What, not for sale?”
“Sell, sell, sell!”
The Toothman rushed back to the dental office in a windy manner, took the deeds to the mansions and ran out, and he still felt a bit surreal until he finished the transfer and got the silver cheque. Six mansions had been sold so easily.
“Song, Miss Song, Gu, Young Master Gu, you, you, you ……”
“I’m staying at the Fulai Inn, if you have another mansion in your hands one of these days, go there and look for me.”
The Toothman froze in place and did not look back until the two men’s carriage had gone far away.
On the carriage, Gu Yi gave Song Wan Yue the deed to the house, “This is considered my personal property, you keep it for me.”
Song Wangyue, ……
The carriage stopped in front of the inn, the two had just gotten off the carriage when a carriage pulled up beside them, Xu Ling’er lifted the curtain and shouted with a smile, “Sister Song.”
