Chapter 243 - 165 Good Person_2
Qian Sangui had already returned home and, because he was too exhausted, had gone to sleep. Qian Hua hadn’t come back, and Qian Sigui said that they didn’t have a place to stay, so Qian Hua took the people they had bought to stay at an inn.
Today, Qian Sigui had taken a liking to a courtyard and wanted to discuss it with Qian Sangui. But seeing his third brother’s face was somewhat pale, he let him go to sleep first. Seeing the younger siblings come back, he engaged them eagerly in conversation about it.
The location of that courtyard wasn’t in the Golden Harbor, but it wasn’t as remote as this place, either. The key point was that it was next to a clan school and not far from Xizhou Government Academy. The courtyard was quite large; the front could be used for a shop and a bakery, while the family could live in the back courtyard, which also featured a well.
This was a typical school district house—school district houses in my previous life were a huge selling point, some even reaching sky-high prices. Fourth Master’s eyes were really sharp.
Qian Yixiu said, "Fourth Master, you’re so capable. A pastry shop near the clan school and academy is sure to do good business. You should rent such a good place quickly—once this chance is gone, there won’t be another shop like it."
"The courtyard is good, but the rent is too expensive, fifteen taels of silver a month. Fourth Master is somewhat hesitant," Qian Sigui said.
Qian Yeejin chuckled, "You have to spend big to win big, and when it’s time to be generous, you must be generous."
After some coaxing from the younger siblings, Qian Sigui wished he could rent the courtyard immediately. He felt somewhat ashamed; no wonder his third brother’s family was prospering, even a seven-year-old child had such determination.
It seemed that he had to send Manxia to school quickly, as education could make a person wiser.
The next morning after breakfast, Qian Sangui was hurriedly pulled by Qian Sigui to look at the shop.
Wan Dazhong, with the curious younger siblings in tow, went to Xinglai Inn. The inn wasn’t far from here, and after walking for a little over half an hour, they arrived.
Having found Qian Hua’s room, he shared that yesterday Shopkeeper Cui had taken them to the largest broker in Xizhou. It was coincidental that a few months ago, Ji’an Province had dealt with an official who colluded with bandits. The official was beheaded, his family was exiled to Lingnan, and their servants were sold.
