Chapter 581: Shen Juhua(6)_1
There were many houses in the manor, over twenty in total, including side rooms and storage rooms. There was also a large livestock shed in the backyard. Although the house was somewhat old and the layout of the courtyard wasn’t particularly intricate, the vast green land and the big clusters of flowers and fruit trees in the yard made the manor appear like a paradise. Cai Wei immediately took a liking to this place. Even without Nangong Yi’s business, she would have bought it without hesitation.
Shen Juhua took Cai Wei to meet her maternal grandfather and uncle. Both her uncle and maternal grandfather were decent townsfolk, they did not try to hike the price knowing that Cai Wei was a young girl. They agreed upon the previously discussed price of two thousand and five hundred taels of silver, selling the whole manor to her.
Once both parties agreed upon the price, Cai Wei gave a hundred taels of silver as a deposit. They agreed to complete the transaction the following day with Madam Cui as the witness.
After the negotiation was over, Cai Wei and Juhua refused the offer of dinner from her uncle and grandfather, and returned home in their horse-drawn carriage.
Usually, whenever Juhua visited her maternal grandparents’ home, she would stay for a few days. But this time, because she was anxiously thinking about the consequences faced by her second aunt’s family, she didn’t even have a meal and hurriedly returned with Cai Wei.
By the time they returned to the county city, it was already completely dark. Cai Wei got off the carriage in front of the inn, and agreed to meet with Juhua the next day to go and find Madam Cui together at Shen Mansion and complete the transaction procedures at the manor.
After Juhua left, Cai Wei didn’t feel like cooking, so she wandered on the street, looking for a restaurant where she could grab a random meal.
