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

Really tired from shopping, Gu Yunxi and Wang Jiaozhen found a place to rest.

Wang Jiaozhen asked: "Hey, Yunxi, should we rent a shop, or..."

Gu Yunxi thought for a while and said directly: "Sister Zhen, how about we ask first to see what the prices of the shops on this street are?"

"If the price is too high, then we will rent it. If the price is still affordable, we will buy it."

Wang Jiaozhen also agreed and found a middleman who specialized in renting and selling shops on East Street and asked about the price.

The accent of the middle man is also an authentic Beijing person. When he heard that Gu Yunxi and others said that they wanted to open an embroidery shop, he suggested: "Madams, the business of the embroidery shop on East Street has always been good, and the shop is also very difficult to find."

"I only have two shops for sale now. One of them was just put up for sale yesterday, and the price is lower than the others."

"Are you free now? How about I take you to see the shop first? If it's suitable, we can discuss the price later?"

Gu Yunxi and Wang Jiaozhen looked at each other, nodded, and followed the middleman along the street to the front of the shop.

The shop is neither front nor back, just in the middle of East Street. It has a facade. Now the doors are closed.

"Mr. Zhong, this shop..." Is there something wrong with it? Gu Yunxi pointed.

East Street is such a busy street, but there is a shop with its door closed. They didn't notice it when they walked past it just now.

They don't know if something happened to this shop before. If something bad happened, they would not dare to buy it no matter how cheap it is.

Seeing this, the middleman knew what Gu Yunxi meant and hurriedly explained: "Madam, listen to me, there is nothing wrong with this shop."

"This shop previously belonged to the Ye family. Have you heard of the Ye family?" The middleman pulled them aside, looked around, and spoke in a low voice.

"Before the Ye family got into trouble, this shop had always been mortgaged. After the incident, the shop was put up for sale by the creditor."

"It's just that many people are hesitant and don't dare to buy, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed until now. There's really nothing going on in this shop, it's clean..."

The Ye family, this person is talking about Ye Yumeng's family! Gu Yunxi didn't expect that buying a shop could buy the previous property of the Ye family.

However, she also knew something about the Ye family's affairs, and knew that there were grievances in the Ye family's affairs. After all, she had specifically investigated Ye Yumeng before.

"Well, let's go in and take a look at the shop first." Gu Yunxi ordered.

Wang Jiaozhen was a little surprised to see her like this, but seeing that Gu Yun seemed to have no scruples, she didn't say anything and followed the stranger to open the door of the shop and walked in.

There is one shop with a backyard and a warehouse. It is similar to an ordinary shop.

After a round of shopping, Gu Yunxi didn't say whether he was satisfied or not, so he asked the middleman to take him to the second shop.

The second shop is also on East Street, but it is at the end of the street. The size and layout are similar to the first shop.

After looking at the shops, the middleman asked with a smile: "Madam, now we only have these two shops on East Street. Do you like the first one or the second one?"

Gu Yunxi frowned and asked, "How much silver did the first shop sell for? And how much for the second shop?"

The middleman replied, "Madam, the second shop is eight thousand taels, and the first shop is five thousand taels."

"The first shop was previously owned by the Ye family. Many people mind it, so no one has bought it and the price is much lower than the normal price." The middleman explained with an embarrassed smile.

Gu Yunxi had bought a shop before, but that grain shop was in Pingxi Market, which was not as located as here, and the prices in the shop were also much cheaper.

Now, I was a little surprised to hear that an embroidery shop on East Street was selling eight thousand taels, but she could still afford the eight thousand taels.

Wang Jiaozhen couldn't take it out, and her expression changed when she heard this. She couldn't take it out, let alone 8,000 taels, even 800 taels.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi pulled Wang Jiaozhen aside and discussed with her, "Sister Zhen, what do you think?"

"Should we buy the first shop, the second shop, or rent a shop?"

Wang Jiaozhen frowned and said, "Yunxi, I knew that shops in the capital would be more expensive, but I didn't expect them to be this expensive."

"I don't have that much money. If we buy a shop, I, I can't afford that much money."

Privately, Wang Jiaozhen still prefers to buy the shop directly. Once she buys the shop, it will be hers. If she rents it, it will always belong to someone else.

Gu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "I know a little about the Ye family's situation. I think the Ye family's shop can be bought. Why don't we buy it?" "Don't worry about the money. I'll pay for it first. When our embroidery shop makes money in the future, you can pay me back."

Gu Yunxi made such a promise that Wang Jiaozhen was so moved that she didn't know what to say. This was several thousand taels, and Yunxi could lend it to her just because he said so!

Wang Jiaozhen hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, buy it. Let's see if the price can be negotiated. After all, the situation of his shop is like that..."

Gu Yunxi smiled and blinked. She understood what Sister Zhen meant and wanted to use that as an excuse to chop a few more times.

The two held hands and returned to where the middle man was standing.

Gu Yunxi cleared his throat and asked: "Mr., is there still room for negotiation on the price of Ye's shop? We are new to the capital and don't have that much money on hand."

Hearing this, the middleman smiled and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, if you really want to buy it, I can make the decision and charge you less. How about 4,900 taels?"

The Ye family's shop was put up for sale. It has been on sale for a long time, but it has been unable to sell. Unexpectedly, someone is willing to buy it today!

As for price, of course, Chinese people are willing to be cheaper!

When Gu Yunxi heard the price, he was not satisfied at all and asked directly: "Four thousand taels, do you want to sell it?"

"Madam, this, this is too little, please add some more, otherwise I won't make any money selling it at this price..." the middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

Gu Yunxi waved his hand and said firmly: "We only have this much silver. If you can sell it to us for 4,000 taels, we can sign and pay today."

"If we can't sell it, forget it. We don't have to buy a shop. We can rent one. After all, we don't know how the business will be."

Upon hearing this, the middleman almost cried. It was the first time he met someone who was willing to buy Ye’s shop, but it was also the first time he met a customer who bargained like this.

"Madam, this, this, I have to go back and ask the creditor...or you guys wait here for me, I'll be back soon." The middleman gritted his teeth and decided to go.

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded: "Well, you've worked hard. If you can achieve something, that's even better. If not, we won't force you."
