Chapter 1327: Buying a House in the Capital

The atmosphere in the capital was indeed different from other places.

At night, the streets were still lively. Even on such an ordinary day, there was still a night market.

However, according to Shao Qingyuan, the night market in the capital was opened within the specified range and time. It was not completely free.

Gu Yundong and the others rested at the inn for the night. The next morning, they set off to look for a house.

Of course, it was Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan who did it.

Shao Wen and Tong Shuitao were sent by Shao Qingyuan to inquire about the Yan family. Shao Wen had followed Shao Qingyuan to the capital before and was quite familiar with it.

After they left, Gu Yundong and Xia Ling went to look for the broker.

There were many brokers in the capital. Fortunately, Shao Qingyuan had some understanding when he came to the capital last time. He knew which broker had a good reputation, so they went straight there.

Unfortunately, houses in the capital were too scarce, and they were especially expensive.

In particular, some large houses with four to five yards were not easy to buy at all. Even if they were available, they were in very remote places.

Therefore, Gu Yundong set his sights on the three-yard houses. Such a size was perfect. It would not look empty, or too crowded with a few more people.

Gu Yundong explained her request. The broker picked out two for her.

Gu Yundong followed him to look at the two houses.

One was in Hetai Alley, which was relatively close to the downtown area. It was a little noisy, but it was very convenient to go anywhere.

There was another one on Dongwu Street. This place was considered quiet, but the broker said honestly that there were several families in this area who had mistresses here.

Speaking of benefits, most of the mistresses were from powerful and rich families. If she accidentally bumped into them later, she might even get to know some big shot.

But Gu Yundong and the others did not need such an opportunity. There were many mistresses, and there was also a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Gu Yundong finally chose the house on Hetai Alley. The house here was relatively old. Many of the older generation lived here. Occasionally, a few officials with low official positions would buy the house here.

Gu Yundong asked for the price, and the broker gave her the real price—6,000 taels.

Gu Yundong’s heart ached terribly. The housing prices in the capital were simply unbelievable. A house with three yards cost six thousand taels.

As for the four-courtyard and five-courtyard houses, they cost almost 10,000 taels. If there was something bigger, it would cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 taels.

There were indeed many rich people in the capital.

Gu Yundong sighed and took out the silver with heartache.

That person was also very fast. In the afternoon, he found the owner of the house to sign the deed with them and registered with the government. This house was hers.

After coming out with the warm deed, Gu Yundong looked up at the plaque above her head and said to Shao Qingyuan, “I have to change this plaque to ‘Shao Residence’ later. That will be much more pleasing to the eye.”

“We’ll find someone to replace it tomorrow.” Shao Qingyuan looked at her and the two of them laughed.

“We still have to get someone to clean the house tomorrow. We also have to buy some things. When the time comes, we can move in directly.”

“The greatest benefit is that this place is quite close to the shop Nie Shuang bought. When the house is ready, we’ll go to the shop to take a look.”

The two of them chatted as they returned to the inn. It was already very late.

Shao Wen and Tong Shuitao were already waiting for them.

After entering the room, the four of them ate something first before Shao Wen began to talk about the situation of the Yan family.
