Su Qing met his gaze calmly. After spending so much time with Cheng Yu and the others, she could tell his position by his attire. This person’s position was above Cheng Yu’s. Could he be the highest leader of the Jingshi Dao army?
Yan Shikuan raised his eyebrows when he saw Su Qing looking at him calmly. He paid more attention to her.
A little girl dared to look at him?
From the looks of it, she was a new face. She should have just arrived at Jingshi Dao. noVE(LB-1n
“Go check her ID.”
Yan Shikuan ordered the deputy general behind him. The shopkeeper quickly went up to him with a bright smile.
“Commander Yan, 1 wondered why I heard magpies chirping this morning. It turns out that there are honored guests coming.”
Yan Shikuan nodded his head expressionlessly as a greeting. His sharp eyes glanced at Su Qing again before he slowly asked,
“Shopkeeper, is there a private room?”
“Yes, yes. I’ll bring you up.”
The shopkeeper immediately went upstairs to invite Yan Shikuan with a smile. Yan Shikuan turned around and saw that the deputy general had already gone to interrogate Su Qing before he went upstairs.
“Are you from Mo City?”
The deputy general and the guard asked the same question. Su Qing nodded, and the deputy general carefully checked the authenticity of the travel pass and household registration.
Su Qing patiently waited for him to see. Seeing that the documents were all real, he also asked Su Qing why she was there.
“I want to buy a big house. Do you know who sells houses?”
Su Qing didn’t look for a comprador and asked the deputy directly.
“I don’t know.”
The deputy general shook his head and returned the documents to Su Qing.
“You can ask the shopkeeper. He should know. If not, you can go to the comprador.”
The deputy general was not evil. Seeing that Su Qing was alone and a lady, he kindly told her.
“Thank you, Master Guan.”
Su Qing smiled slightly to express her gratitude. Su Qing’s smile was charming. The deputy general blinked and blushed. Without looking back, he went upstairs to chase after his chief soldier.
“Rich chicken soup, fish every year, a plate full of red jade, bamboo shoots on the family.”
“A jug of Jade Wine.”
The waiter announced the name of the dish. When he heard the waiter announce the name of the wine, Su Qing felt that the restaurant owner knew how to name the wine. Those who didn’t know better would think that Su Qing had ordered some delicacies.
Su Qing poured a glass of wine and shook it to check the color of the wine. She found that the wine’s color and fragrance were inferior to the wine she brewed.
This could only be called wine at best. It was estimated that drinking a jar would make one drunk.
Su Qing took a sip and lost interest in drinking it. It could only be described as bland and tasteless.
Su Qing liked the rich chicken soup the most of the four dishes. It was apparent that the chicken was free-range raised. The skin was golden, and the chicken soup was yellow and bright. However, the color was enough to be eye-catching.
Su Qing picked up the spoon and took a sip of the egg. It was extremely delicious and warmed her stomach. Could it produce this effect only when the fire was sufficiently burning and the chicken was good?
Upstairs, Yan Shikuan listened to the deputy general’s report expressionlessly. After listening to him, he raised his eyes.
“You said she came to buy a house?”
“Yes, that’s what she said.”
“Isn’t she afraid of being alone?”
Yan Shikuan frowned. There was a murderous aura coming from this girl. The murderous aura could not be ignored even if she was sitting there calmly.
Her eyes were bright and spirited. She was still calm and composed when facing him. It was apparent that she had experienced a lot.
However, she looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old. How could a girl of this age have such an imposing manner?
“Send someone to follow her.”
Yan Shikuan was still worried, so he ordered the deputy general.
“Yes.”
The deputy general cupped his fists in agreement but secretly muttered in his heart, “Commander, don’t be so paranoid, right?”
He even doubted the little girl.
However, he only dared to curse silently and did not dare to speak out.
Su Qing was tasting the delicacies downstairs. When she saw the shopkeeper coming down, she waved at him and said, “Shopkeeper, please come over.”
The shopkeeper usually did not entertain the guests downstairs, but Su Qing had already called him by name. Even if he did not want to serve them, he still smiled politely.
“Do you have any orders?”
“I want to buy a house. Do you know anyone who sells it?”
Hearing that Su Qing wanted to buy a house, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but look at her a few more times. Seeing that she was dressed like a young lady from a wealthy family and that her outstanding temperament was not underestimated, the shopkeeper smiled.
“May 1 know? How big a house do you want to buy?”
“The bigger and more imposing, the better.”
Su Qing stated her request. Money was not a problem. The problem was whether there was a house that caught her eye.
“Isn’t a stylish house expensive?”
The shopkeeper tested Su Qing’s wealth, and Su Qing smiled.
“Money is not a problem.”
When the shopkeeper heard that she did not lack money, it was easy to handle.
“To tell you the truth, my master plans to sell his house. It was only because the cost of building the house was quite high, so it is relatively expensive.”
The shopkeeper observed Su Qing’s expression and felt that this price would scare the girl.
The owner had already sold the house for more than half a year. When every buyer heard the price of 30,000 taels of Snow Silver, they would leave without looking at the house.
“Where is it?”
Su Qing was very interested. She hoped that it could be comparable to her home in Luo City. That he dared to ask for so much money proved that the house was grand enough.
“It’s right behind this restaurant. Our master’s residence is the front and back of the restaurant.”
The shopkeeper quickly pointed to the back of the restaurant. Su Qing felt even better when she heard this. She could make wine and wanted to open a restaurant. This was an excellent opportunity to have someone give her a pillow when she was sleepy.
“I’ll have to trouble the shopkeeper to take me to see the residence.”
Su Qing stopped eating and hurried to look at the house. She stood up and asked the shopkeeper to take her over.
“Alright.”
The shopkeeper was very happy. If he helped the owner sell the house, the owner would be satisfied. If he was pleased, he might tip him a hundred or eighty taels of silver.
The deputy general ran upstairs and told Yan Shikuan what he had just heard.
“She didn’t even blink at thirty thousand taels?”
Yan Shikuan was a little shocked. Could this girl be the daughter of a wealthy family?
But that was not right. How could a young lady from a wealthy family come out and show her face in public?
Yan Shikuan ordered the deputy general,
“Let’s go and take a look.”
The deputy general agreed and left. Yan Shikuan was particularly distracted during the meal as he kept thinking about Su Qing.
Su Qing followed the shopkeeper out of the restaurant through the back door and entered the back residence.
There was a corridor in the middle, and after walking over, it was the residence. The three-entry place was very imposing. The inner living had a rockery, pond, bridge, and corridor. The house was carved with beams and painted pillars. The steps were made of white marble. The pillars at the door were painted with red paint. The gallery was painted with various flowers. It was elegant, just the type that Father liked.
She turned around and said to the shopkeeper, who was observing her expression,
“Shopkeeper, bring me to your master. I want this house.”
“Alright, I’ll go and find the boss now.”
The shopkeeper was extremely happy. He was fortunate today.
“Haha, you know your stuff!”
A young man walked out of the room with a loud laugh. Su Qing found him familiar but couldn’t remember where he had seen this person before..
