Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 372 Su He and her father chose Daxing Manor

The next morning, Su He got up early to exercise. Unless there was something special, she would train with her master.

As the saying goes, if you don't practice for one day, you know it yourself; if you don't practice for two days, your teacher knows it; if you don't practice for three days, the layman knows it. The body is very honest. Since she wants to have a strong body, she has to be a little harder on herself.

After breakfast, Su He and her father took the coachman to the town. When they arrived at the shop, Song Bai was waiting at the door. When he saw them coming, he walked up to them and invited them to leave without going in.

The three of them sat in the carriage, and Songbai briefly introduced the situation of the two families. This way, when they arrived at the farm, they could directly see the layout and actual situation, which would save some time.

A family named Shi had to move to another place for business, so they sold all their properties. Several shops in the city, as well as several large and small farms, had already been sold for most of their money.

The other family, surnamed Chi, was a merchant in the town. Because of some problems at home, they wanted to sell the farm. They didn't tell us the details, and the brokerage didn't ask any further questions.

Su He and her father didn't care why people were selling the manor. As long as they liked the manor, it didn't matter whose it belonged to. They didn't have to worry about the price either. Songbai would help them negotiate the most fair price.

The three of them chatted about the approximate locations of the two farms. Songbai had brought guests here before, so he probably knew the specific conditions of the farms.

Not long after leaving the town, they came to a farm in the direction of Su He's home. There was a high wall around the farm, and Su He was very satisfied with it and felt safe.

They drove to the gate, where there was a sign that said Daxing Village. They got out of the car and knocked on the door. The gatekeeper came out and asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

Songbai walked up and said with a smile: "Brother, do you still recognize me? I'm Songbai from the dental clinic. I was here a few days ago."

The gatekeeper recognized Songbai and said with a smile, "Songbai! I know you. You've brought people to see the manor again. Come in quickly!"

As he said this, he opened the gate and let them in. Su He's father asked the coachman to drive the carriage in, and Song Bai and the others got in the carriage again, and he led them to find the head of Chu Zhuang here.

There is a house with exquisite architecture here. It is a large house with several small courtyards connected. There are also exquisite gardens and pavilions connected inside. It can be seen that the original owner is a person who knows how to enjoy life.

The housekeeper and his family lived in a small courtyard at the outermost part. This courtyard was relatively simple, similar to their farmyard, with necessary facilities such as a stone mill and a stone table.

The village head, Chu, received them warmly and showed them around the village. He said that his family was leaving with the owner, and the rest of the family had already left, and he stayed here specifically to sell the village.

Because he was leaving, he told Su He everything he knew about the farm. Su He's father and Su He were very satisfied with the farm. It was nice to live here when they had nothing to do. Nothing here needed to be moved. The farmers in the farm were all bought by them, and they would leave the indentures to the buyers.

The father and daughter decided on the manor as soon as they discussed it. As for the specific price, Su He's father asked, "Master Chu, is there any room for bargaining? If the price is right, we plan to buy this manor."

Village head Chu said, "I originally wanted to sell it for 600 taels of silver, but the owner said that if I meet someone who is destined to be with me, I can sell it for 580 taels."

Songbai nodded, this price is quite reasonable. Su He's father discussed with Su He and made an appointment with Chu Zhuangtou to go to the town to get the land deed in the afternoon. Chu Zhuangtou readily agreed, he also wanted to sell the farm quickly and find his own master.

After everyone agreed, the four of them headed towards the next village, slightly to the east. The two villages were not far from each other, and the carriage only took ten minutes to get there.
