Chapter 112 Dongshun Dental Clinic Buys a House

Mi Yao strolled around slowly. Hou Yuanxuan and the others should have arrived in the capital before her. If she strolled around for an afternoon, they would probably see her.

Whenever Mi Yao reaches a street corner or a big tree, he will leave a mark.

After turning a corner, you will see Dongshun Yahang after walking about ten meters.

The dental clinic occupied four or five stores, all of which were two-storey. All the shops here also had backyards, so you can imagine the scale of Dongshun Dental Clinic.

There were two men of medium build standing at the door of the pawnshop, looking like modern security guards.

"Welcome, ma'am, how can I help you?" The man smiled professionally and led Mi Yao into the lobby.

There was a portrait enshrined behind the main seat in the hall. Mi Yao didn't know who it was. There were some fruits and cakes on the table, and the incense in the incense burner had burned out.

There are two chairs at the main seat and a vase on the small table in the middle.

There are guest chairs on both sides and a small table in the middle of the chairs. The layout is clear in priority and clean and neat.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over from the back hall.

"Hello, ma'am. I'm Zhao Dong, the manager of Dongshun Dental Clinic. May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?" The man tried his best to put on a smiling expression.

Mi Yao glanced at the man, who was wearing a gorgeous black satin robe with totems embroidered with golden silk threads on the collar, cuffs and hem. He had regular facial features, with the corners of his eyes slightly tilted upwards, giving him an air of shrewdness. His dark hair was all tied up high and held in a green jade crown with a green jade hairpin inserted in the middle of the crown.

"Hello, Manager Zhao, I would like to purchase a courtyard." Mi Yao was also very polite, after all, he was such a gentleman.

"Oh, we have a few houses that we want to sell in our pawn shop. I wonder what Madam's requirements are for them?" He asked the manager to take out a notebook from the attendant.

"There are four people in my family now, and more than twenty servants." Mi Yao thought that her mother and her family would definitely come to live with them in the future, and with the servants, there would be at least thirty or forty people.

When Manager Zhao heard this, he was really surprised. To be honest, Mi Yao's clothes were too ordinary. The cooks in the big houses in the capital all dressed better than Mi Yao. He was so polite just now. One reason was that Mi Yao was a customer and this was his professional ethics. The other reason was Mi Yao's demeanor. Although she was not very old, the aura she had, especially the light in her eyes, were not something that ordinary women could have.

"We in Dongqi don't have any special regulations for ordinary people to buy houses. If thirty or forty people live in it, then there must be three courtyards." Manager Zhao said.

Mi Yao nodded. She had some understanding of this before. In ancient times, some imperial courts had strict control over the size of people's houses. The size of the yard was determined by the status of the people, and there were requirements for the number of houses. Especially in the capital, small families had one yard, those with a little assets or achievements had two yards, and only officials of the fourth rank and above could have three yards. Moreover, any house with three yards was called a house, and any house with more than three yards was called a mansion. If one built houses randomly, he would be accused of having ulterior motives.

Manager Zhao picked out several deeds for three-yard houses and asked, "Madam, is it convenient for us to go and look at the houses now?"

Mi Yao nodded, "Okay."

So, Manager Zhao and his entourage, the three of them, got on the carriage.

West Street, a three-courtyard house.

The attendant took out the key and the three of them entered the yard.

"Madam, this place is located on West Street. It has three courtyards and covers an area of 18 acres. There are 78 rooms in total. There are two wells in front and back, a gatehouse, a stable, a garden, a lotus pond, and everything else you need."

"This house was previously owned by an official in the imperial court. Later, that official was transferred to another state, and the house became a rental property of the pawnshop. All the rooms here were renovated three years ago. A simple cleanup will make them look as good as new." Manager Zhao said as he led Mi Yao around.

Mi Yao looked carefully and found that everything here was in line with her feelings.

"How much is it?" Mi Yao came to the lotus pond. It was almost October now, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond had begun to fall, but some were still blooming, and the huge lotus leaves were like jade plates, floating in the breeze.

"The landlord wants five thousand eight hundred taels." Zhao Dong said this, fearing that Mi Yao would say it was too expensive and she didn't want it.

"Well, let's go take a look at the others." Mi Yao was very satisfied with this place, but it did not stop her from looking at other things. Only by comparing them could she pick out the ones she liked more.

"Good lady."

The three of them went to another place on West Street, which also had three courtyards, but it didn't look as good as the previous one. There were too many houses, and it felt a bit shabby, and the layout didn't feel refreshing.

"How much does this cost?" Mi Yao asked.

"This courtyard was renovated last year. There are many tables, chairs and benches in it. It saves you from buying any more if you move in. The asking price is five thousand eight hundred taels." Zhao Dong said.

"Oh, let's look at something else."

"Okay." Zhao Dong was not impatient. Mi Yao had only looked at three or two places. Some customers before had looked at more than ten places and delayed for several days, looking over and over again, but still failed to complete the transaction. There were too many such cases.

In comparison, customers like Mi Yao are considered good.

"This is South Street. There are some marquis' mansions, duke's mansions, and royal mansions for officials below the fifth rank in the court. The same courtyard will cost twice as much here." Zhao Dong said.

"Well, let's look at the house first." Mi Yao felt that one should go by feeling when looking at a house, and the price was not an issue.

"This was the former residence of Lord Zhongshu. In the past two months, Lord Zhongshu was promoted and moved to East Street, so this house has to be sold." Zhao Dong opened the door, and what he saw was a screen wall with a colorful and lifelike Qilin beast on it. It was worthy of being an official's house, it was high-end and classy.

After walking around the screen wall, you can see eight main rooms and two rows of side rooms, all with carved beams and painted rafters. The houses here are all dragon-frame style buildings, and from a distance they look like a dragon lying down. The main rooms and side rooms are connected by corridors.

The decoration inside the house is quite standard, with some tables, chairs and benches left by the previous owner.

Through the archway is a garden. Although no one lives here, there are still flowers blooming and the fragrance is fragrant. I guess the previous owner's wife loved to take care of the garden.

Going around the garden, there are two courtyards and ten houses, arranged in a split position. On the other side of the house are several towering trees, including pine trees and cypress trees. When Mi Yao saw this, she could imagine that the former owner, the Central Lord, was a very virtuous person, and he also hoped that the children in his family would grow up to be as successful as the pine trees and cypress trees.

The third courtyard also has ten rooms, and there are wing rooms close to the back wall, and a stable next to one wall.

"The price of this house is eight thousand eight hundred taels." Zhao Dong said while looking at the notebook.

"Well, this place is nice, but we are all ordinary people. It may not be appropriate for us to live here. Besides, I like quietness. This place is full of dignitaries, which is obviously not suitable. Let's choose the first one." Mi Mo also likes it here, but the construction of the houses here shows the desire for power in every aspect, and she doesn't want to be used as a handle by others.
