Chapter 621: Decided

Gu Yundong shivered and quickened his pace.

The broker took them to the third house. This one had two courtyards. It was smaller than the previous one, but it was not bad.

There were also shops around. There was a little noise, but it was very convenient to travel.

What satisfied Gu Yundong the most was that there was a well about ten meters away from the house. It was very convenient to get water.

There was a river just beyond the end of the alley behind the house. It was also convenient to wash clothes.

This place was very suitable for living, but... it was not suitable for studying.

Gu Yundong walked to Gu Dajiang’s side and asked him softly, “Father, which of these three houses do you think is the best?”

Seeing that they were almost done with their discussion, he smiled and asked, “Master Gu, Miss Gu, have you thought about it? Do you like any of the three houses? If not, you have to find a place further away from the academy, or you can rent a house. However, it’s always inconvenient to rent a house. The main reason is that if the owner suddenly don’t want to rent the house anymore, it’s very troublesome to find another house.”

Gu Yundong nodded. “What’s the price of these three houses?”

The broker knew that there was a chance when he heard that. He quickly said, “The first house is close to the academy. Although it’s only one courtyard, it still costs 1,200 taels. The second house is big and it’s a two-courtyard house. Moreover, it has just been renovated and costs 1,700 taels of silver. As for the third house, it’s also a two-courtyard house, but it’s a little small. It costs 1,500 taels of silver.”

Gu Dajiang was shocked. So expensive? This was almost comparable to the property prices in the capital, right?

Gu Yundong also frowned, but she was more or less confident.

This was the prefectural city, and weren’t the houses here equivalent to school district houses? Modern school district houses were expensive, and ancient school district houses were not inferior.

Moreover, Tianhai Academy had been here for a hundred years. Didn’t the houses around here get more expensive every year?

Besides, as long as there was a top scholar or even an Honorable Scholar in the academy, the surroundings would be said to be a good place for outstanding people.

1,500 taels. Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief and asked the broker to find the

owner.
