“Miss, you have good eyesight. When the house was built, 1 spent a lot of effort and collected all the skilled craftsmen in the Great Xia Kingdom.”

Chu Jingfeng looked at Su Qing with a smile. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when he smiled, the galaxy in his eyes was brilliant. The cinnabar mole at the end of his eye added a charm to him.

“1 like this house. Thirty thousand silver, right? I’ll pay the deposit now, and we’ll sign the deed tomorrow.”

Su Qing didn’t remember where she had seen this man before, so she didn’t think about it and went straight to the point.

She had her eyes on this house. Since she knew the price, there was no need to ask. As for bargaining, the shopkeeper said that their boss would not sell it for less than 30,000 taels, so there was no need to bargain.

“Young Lady is a carefree person. This one admires Young Lady’s character.”

The smile on Chu Jingfeng’s lips became even more radiant like the sun shining brightly in the sky. His peach blossom eyes were smiling as he looked at Su Qing, and his voice was clear and pleasant.

The man had a feminine appearance and a devilish face. Su Qing glanced at him indifferently. She hated this kind of person the most.

If Chu Jingfeng knew this was the first impression he gave Su Qing? He would probably regret it to death. He was handsome and charming and had charmed thousands of young girls. How could he have met a masculine woman who did not understand romantic feelings?

“How much is the deposit?”

Su Qing didn’t waste any time talking to him. She took out the silver notes and was about to pay the deposit.

“Miss, I’m sorry. 1 don’t want to sell this house.”

Chu Jingfeng was still smiling, but his words were a rejection. He straightened his back to make himself look even more handsome and graceful.

Su Qing looked at him coldly and turned to leave. She didn’t drag her feet at all.

Chu Jingfeng didn’t expect Su Qing to have such a personality. He couldn’t care less about playing around and quickly chased after her. His clear voice, which sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate, also became anxious. He couldn’t care less about the cadence.

“Young lady, young lady.”

Su Qing didn’t even turn her head. He had no intention of stopping.

The butler was dumbfounded. Yesterday, the owner said that he wanted to sell it, and this morning, someone came to see the house, and he even brought her around.

1 brought a sincere buyer here; why isn’t the owner selling?

Could it be that the owner was using the tactic of playing hard to get to increase the price of the house?

Su Qing was fast, and Chu Jingfeng was hot on her heels, but he still couldn’t catch up to her.

Su Qing took the original route, passing through the back hall of the restaurant to the front entrance. The deputy general had just walked to the back of the restaurant when he saw Su Qing walking out with a cold face. Her body was as cold as the winter snow, and anyone passing her would feel a chill.

Was she angry? Who was she angry with?

As the deputy general was guessing, he saw Chu Jingfeng chasing after her from behind. He jogged out of the restaurant. He did not stop when he passed by the deputy general.

“Young Lady, please wait, Young Lady, please wait. This one still has something to say!”

When the deputy general saw the butler returning dejectedly, he pulled him back and asked, noVe.lb)1n

“Butler, what happened?”

“This girl wanted to buy a house, but our boss didn’t want to sell it, so she left angrily.”

Of course, the butler couldn’t say that his owner was wrong. He only said that he didn’t want to sell it, not that he went back on his word and wanted to raise the price.

“Oh.”

The deputy general nodded but still ordered his men to follow her out.

This Boss Chu suddenly appeared in Jingshi Dao two years ago. He built the most magnificent house in Jingshi Dao as soon as he arrived. At that time, it caused quite a stir.

The commander-in-chief also let them look at Boss Chu for some time and realize he was a businessman. However, he did not seem to be a proper businessman. He was more like a hedonistic son of a wealthy family. He ate, drank, and had fun. He was not very concerned about business. He was lucky to choose the right dish, and his business was better than other restaurants.

He had also heard that Boss Chu wanted to sell the house. After all, the sky-high price of 30,000 taels of silver had to be spread.

He estimated to have spent more than 30,000 taels when he built the house. However, 30,000 taels were too expensive in Jingshi Dao. 15,000 taels could buy a good three-room house.

Why would someone buy it and not sell it? Since he didn’t want to sell it, why was he chasing after the girl?

Could it be that he saw that the girl was beautiful and had bad intentions?

When the deputy general thought of this, he felt that following and protecting the girl was even more necessary. Although he had already sent people to track, he was still worried that he followed.

“Aiya, this young lady is too impatient.”

Chu Jingfeng ran to stop Su Qing, panting from exhaustion.

Su Qing looked at him coldly. Her eyes were dark and heavy. Although she did not say a word, her aura had already changed. It was as if a tall mountain was pressing down on Chu Jingfeng.

“Young Lady, don’t be angry. This one cannot sell the house for special reasons, but I know a perfect house. If Young Lady doesn’t mind, this one will take Young Lady there personally.”

Chu Jingfeng quickly cupped his fists at Su Qing and seriously spoke to her. He knew how powerful this lady was and knew that he could not survive under her hands.

The coldness on Su Qing’s face faded slightly after hearing Chu Jingfeng’s words and seeing his sincerity in bowing to the end. She said indifferently, “Thank you, Young Master.”

She was not afraid that Chu Jingfeng would have any ill intentions. If that happened, his life would be over.

“You’re welcome. It’s my fault.”

Chu Jingfeng was relieved when he saw Su Qing agree. He smiled like a spring breeze again. Su Qing did not like to see him smiling. The pressure on his body turned cold again. Chu Jingfeng quickly stopped smiling and led the way in front with a severe expression.

As he walked, he introduced the two of them to Su Qing,

“The house I’m talking about belongs to the cloth merchant, Old Master Zhang. He hired skilled craftsmen from Jiangnan. When I built the house, 1 even borrowed some of the designs of Old Zhang’s family. It can be considered a top-notch house in Jingshi Dao.”

When Su Qing heard that, she agreed. She would settle for the second-best since she couldn’t choose the best. Who wouldn’t like to flip it after spring?

The most important thing now was to buy the house.

As they spoke, they arrived in front of a house. Su Qing saw that it was a Hui-style building. It had a horse head wall and wood, stone, and brick carvings. It was decorated with a unique style and was very imposing.

Su Qing had already taken a liking to the outside. Chu Jingfeng was observing from the side. When he saw Su Qing’s expression of affection, he immediately knocked on the door.

As he knocked on the door, he said,

“There’s a water play in the courtyard and a lotus pond. It’s just that the winter in Jingshi Dao is long. Half the year is winter, so the lotus flowers are frozen to death. However, in summer, you can raise some koi to be pleasing to the eye.” Su Qing glanced at him indifferently. Wasn’t this person a little too enthusiastic? From the introduction, it seemed as if the house belonged to him.

He probably wanted to learn to be a comprador and earn a share of the price difference. Su Qing did not mind. She had an obligation to help for nothing. As long as she could successfully buy this house, it was worth it, even if she had to pay a small fee.

The courtyard door opened. The servant who opened the door saw that it was Chu Jingfeng and was about to speak when Chu Jingfeng’s gaze stopped him..
