Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Master Cheng!"

"It's really Master Cheng!"

"Master Cheng is so handsome!"

"Master Cheng is not only good-looking, but also very powerful! Master Cheng looks different from ordinary people!"

......

Cheng Wan looked at the bright eyes of the girls and women and listened to their various compliments about her. She blinked twice uncomfortably, then raised her arms and waved at the girls and women with a smile. Wave.

"Master Cheng waved to me!"

"Master Cheng is clearly waving to us!"

"Yes, Master Cheng even smiled at us!"

......

Shopkeeper Zheng chuckled and shook his head, "My boss, there have been many female guests coming to the hotel every day these days. They all want to see you. It's hard to see you today. No wonder they are so excited."

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile on her face became brighter.

She was afraid that women would have no reaction or resistance to her becoming an official. This situation was... great.

Also, who wants to be on the side of being exploited by birth?

These women may just think that it is novel and interesting to have a woman as an official, and it brings face to women...

But after a long time, they will think: "If she can do it, why can't I?"

And that was what Cheng Wan wanted.

Before that, Cheng Wan would clear a way out for them.

Of course, there must be women who are very malicious towards Cheng Wan, even more malicious than men are towards Cheng Wan. They will feel that Cheng Wan is embarrassing women, sensationalizing, and deviant by becoming an official...

But who cares what they think?

Cheng Wan didn't stay in the Suiyi Building for long. She saw that everyone was busy, so she and Wang left the Suiyi Building together. Gu Yu was held by Wang.

Cheng Wan took Wang and Gu Yu to Yahang first and learned that there were currently two shops in Shuoyang City for sale and one shop for rent.

Cheng Wan hired a tooth man and asked the three of them to look at the three shops one by one.

Cheng Wan first eliminated the store to be rented out because it was too small and too remote.

Of the two shops for sale, one is on East 1st Street, only half a quarter of an hour's walk from Sui Zui Lou, but its store is a bit small and can't hold much.

The other one is on West 2nd Street, about two-quarters of an hour's walk from Suiyi Building. The store is a combination of two houses. It is very spacious and has a small yard behind it.

The advantages and disadvantages of these two stores are obvious. The first store has a better location, close to Suilou Building, but the store is small and the price is not cheap. The second store is larger and the price is not much more expensive than the first store. However, the location is slightly less advantageous and it is further away from the free building.

"Mom, which one do you like more?"

Ms. Wang looked conflicted, but in fact she preferred to rent a shop first, so that even if she lost money, she wouldn't lose too much.

But once you buy a store, you will lose hundreds of taels of silver all of a sudden. If this is a loss...

Yaren seemed to have seen Wang's intention. He bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Madam, the shops in Shuoyang City are not so easy to rent or buy. If you want to rent or buy suitable ones, A store is something that comes by chance but cannot be sought. You, you are in luck today."

The tooth man half covered his mouth and whispered: "Like the shop on West Second Street, the owner lost all his money in gambling and was anxious to sell the shop so he could use the money to pay off his gambling debts. Just now, our tooth shop Hang up and you're here.

Madam, let me tell you the truth, this is because the owner is in a hurry to use money. Otherwise, how could it be possible to sell the shop for only 600 taels for such a bright and spacious shop with a small courtyard and on West Second Street? You must seize the opportunity, otherwise you will have to wait slowly if you want to encounter such a suitable store again. "

"Six hundred taels, this, this is too expensive!" Wang was very reluctant to part with it.

"Madam, you can't just look at the price, you also have to look at where the shop is and how big it is? And the owner of the shop said that he doesn't want any of the shelves, decorations, etc. in the shop, six hundred taels. The store and the items in the store are all yours.

If you think six hundred taels is really expensive, then you can buy the one on Dongyi Street, which only costs five hundred and twenty taels. "

Cheng Wan looked at Mr. Wang's confused look and chuckled: "Mom, why don't you choose the one on West Second Street? The location of that room is okay. The main reason is that it's spacious. It doesn't look so crowded, and it's There is also a small yard in the back. If you are tired, you can go to the back to rest."

As she spoke, Cheng Wan leaned into Wang's ear and whispered: "If you buy that shop, you can sell it again without doing business. You won't lose money."

"Okay!" Wang gritted her teeth, "That's it!"

Cheng Wan hugged Gu Yu and Wang and followed Yaren back to Yahang and entered a private room.

"Please wait a moment, you three. I'm going to call the owner of the shop to come over."

After saying that, the tooth man ran out quickly.

Mrs. Wang took off the small satchel she was carrying, took out a cloth bag from it, and then opened the cloth bag. Inside were several banknotes and large and small silver ingots.

Cheng Wan watched in astonishment as Mrs. Wang folded the banknotes, "Mom, where did you get so much money?"

This must be six or seven hundred taels, right?

Wang raised his head and looked at Cheng Wan strangely, "Didn't this all come from you? Who else could give me money besides you? No, your father also gave me all the money he earned. And the three bears? My son, he gave me some money in his hand, but I gave it to him alone, not with these."

"I, I gave it? When did I give you so much money?"

Wang glanced at Cheng Wan and said warmly: "You give me some from time to time. I usually don't spend much except buying cloth and making clothes and shoes for you guys. I only save so much."

With that said, Mrs. Wang put the counted coins aside, wrapped the rest in cloth and stuffed it into her satchel.

"If you buy this shop and put your name on it, you can live like a proprietress. When you get married, this will be your dowry."

"No." Cheng Wan shook her head like a rattle, "Mom, I bought it for you originally, just write your name on it, and don't worry about using it as a dowry for me. It's still early for me to get married."

Wang patted Cheng Wan's shoulder lightly, "You kid! You listen to me on this matter, and your father has agreed to it. Don't say anything later, or I will complain to your father when I get back!"

Cheng Wan: "..."

Wang showed rare strength in writing Cheng Wan's name in the store. No matter what Cheng Wan said, it was useless.

Later, Cheng Wan simply gave up. The shop was bought for the Wang family anyway, so it didn't seem to be that important whose name it was.

As for what Wang said about using this shop as a dowry for Cheng Wan in the future, Cheng Wan said: Let's talk about it then. It's early. I don't want to do it so far away.
