Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

In this way, Fan Juren stayed at the grain shop as the shopkeeper without any hesitation.

Gu Yunxi would come over in the next few days to help Fan Juren to make the daily operation of the shop more stable, and then she slowly let go.

Fan Juren is indeed as Mrs. Yuan said. In the imperial examination, he may be too rigid and unworkable, but when it comes to doing business, he looks pretty good.

He received guests in a strict manner and sold food exactly according to the marked price, without any mistakes.

Gu Yunxi was quite satisfied. Seeing that the grain store was managed by Fan Juren and was no different from hers, she didn't go to the grain store that often.

It's just that every once in a while, Fan Juren would send over the prepared account books for her to review.

In the remaining time, Gu Yunxi had more important things to do.

She wants to buy a house!

That's right, she wants to buy the one like Yuan Shilang's house, with a small bridge and flowing water in the yard, a lotus fish pond, and a pavilion!

This was a dream she had in modern times. She had worked hard for so many years in modern times, but in the end she couldn't make enough money to buy a house like that. She didn't expect that she would have this ability here.

The money in her hand, plus the tens of thousands taels she got from selling the best peonies, was enough to buy a big house with that kind of decoration in the capital.

Gu Yunxi did what he said, found a few middlemen, took Xiaocui and Mo San, and walked around the entire capital, looking again and again.

After walking like this for a few days, Gu Yunxi finally became familiar with the capital and had an overall idea of ​​the capital's regional divisions.

She even had her eye on the area and wanted to buy a big house in the east of the city.

In the east of the city, only the rich or powerful would buy the houses here. I have to say that Gu Yunxi is really discerning.

This area is very close to everywhere, but I don't know if there is a suitable house for sale in this area.

Gu Yunxi thought for a while and ordered Mo San to go find the middleman and ask.

After a while, Mo San came back, bringing the middle-aged man with him.

"Are you going to buy a house here?" the stranger asked. His clothes looked a bit expensive.

Gu Yunxi secretly observed, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking that the east of the city was really a good place. Even the middle-aged people looked like they were getting rich. Otherwise, how could he get the money to buy such good clothes?

"Yes, I wonder if there are any houses for sale nearby? What I want is..." Gu Yunxi said in as much detail as possible, explaining what kind of house she wanted.

The more the stranger listened, the more he frowned: "Madam, you are teasing me. The kind of house you mentioned is only found in wealthy families."

"You ordinary people like you, if there is a house like that for sale, can you afford it?"

Such a house is completely different from the ordinary one-two-three-entry courtyard, and the convenience of money is naturally also very different. The price of such a house will naturally increase several times.

If the price of the three-yard house that the Lu family currently lives in is tens of thousands of taels, then the house that Gu Yunxi wants will cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels, and there are even some that cost hundreds of thousands of taels.

No matter how Gu Yunxi calculated, the silver in her hand was less than one hundred thousand taels.

If you want to buy a house like that, you will definitely not have enough money unless you sell all the best peonies in the space.

"Forget it, Mo San, let's go." After hearing what the middleman said, Gu Yunxi's whole body felt as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost.

Mo San and Xiao Cui looked at each other, neither dared to speak, and silently followed Gu Yunxi back to the Lu family.

After arriving home, Gu Yunxi was extremely entangled and felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it. He had traveled from modern times and could not realize his dream.

It seems that I still earn too little money and the speed of earning money is too slow!

So what should we do to increase the speed of making money?

Gu Yunxi thought over and over again, making a business? Painting flowers? Open a bun shop?

As soon as every idea arose, she was rejected by herself.

Xiaocui walked in with the cooled sugar water and said cautiously: "Madam, I heard someone outside today saying that someone is selling Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and the price is less than one hundred thousand taels."

"You have a house to live in now. Even if you buy a house, you won't be able to live in it. Madam, why don't you consider buying a village in the suburbs of Beijing?"

"That's right! Why didn't I think of this!" Gu Yunxi slapped herself on the forehead. She had been obsessed with buying a house like that before and had never thought about buying Zhuangzi.

My family's grain shop is located in Pingxi Market in the capital. If I still have a farm in the suburbs of Beijing, can I grow some grain crops on the farm and sell them in the grain shop?

The more Gu Yunxi thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. He suddenly cheered up from his lethargy, and his whole body was as full of fighting spirit as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

Her look even startled Xiao Cui, who had no idea why Gu Yunxi immediately seemed to be a different person after hearing her words.

"Young madam, are you okay? I mean..." Xiaocui watched Gu Yunxi slap her forehead, sometimes frowning and sometimes laughing, and she couldn't help but feel scared.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxi said: "I'm fine, Xiaocui, let's go out now and let Mo San go find the middleman and watch Zhuangzi."

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, he was minding his own business and went out without even drinking the sugar water Xiao Cui brought in.

Seeing this, Xiaocui had no choice but to follow and went out together.

This time, the middleman was one Mo San found directly on the street. However, the middleman seemed to be very smart, and he was very sharp-tongued and could make the dead look alive.

Gu Yunxi followed him on the way to see Zhuangzi. Because there was such a middle-aged man who kept talking, he didn't feel bored at all.

Even in the process of communicating with this person, Gu Yunxi gradually learned more about the capital, and formed his own concept of how to choose Zhuangzi.

"Mrs. Lu, Zhuangzi is here!" The middle-aged man said with a smile, pointing to the small house on the hillside in front of him.

Gu Yunxi got off the carriage and followed the man up the hillside. Standing on it and looking down, he saw that the hillside was covered with cultivated slopes, and there were paddy fields one after another at the foot of the mountain.

However, there seems to be nothing left in the land in front of me. There seems to be only rice stalks and some scattered straw left in the paddy fields?

As for the slopes, there are also some bare poles, and it’s hard to tell what crops they are.

"Mrs. Lu, please take a look at the courtyard of Zhuangzi first. Although the courtyard upon entering is quite old, it is still very well maintained."

"Look, this is the main house, and this is the wing. It's the best wing in the whole house. You can live here if you come."

"This is the kitchen, this is..."
