The shop was not suitable for doing business, so Mr. Mi led Mi Xiayao to the teahouse next door.
She looked at Mr. Mi Er's fawning appearance and thought of the sharp contrast when he came to her yard arrogantly.
I felt slightly refreshed.
As soon as she was about to sit down, Master Mi immediately entered the topic.
He looked at the woman in front of him warily and asked: "You intend to take over my shop, why?"
She poured herself a cup of tea, moistened her throat, and said with a smile: "Originally, I was thinking of starting a business next year."
"Then why did you choose my shop?"
"I was lucky enough to witness the excitement yesterday. I came here just to take a gamble and see what happened."
Mr. Mi seemed to be convinced by her words, he let out a thoughtful sigh.
Then, he stretched out his finger and pointed out a 4.
"You also know that my shop here is in a good location and costs four thousand taels."
Mi Xiayao sneered in her heart, but shook her head without changing her expression.
"What happened yesterday has been witnessed by all of us in the neighborhood. Now you are selling it at the original price. Isn't it a bit ridiculous?"
She smiled and looked at Mr. Mi who didn't know whether to live or die in front of her.
Without waiting for the other party to explain, she directly negotiated the price, "At least half of it must be cut. A shop that is involved in a lawsuit is unlucky. I also want to get an advantage and want to negotiate with you. At least two thousand taels."
"But the final price may not necessarily be two thousand taels. I think this shop is quite old. Every other shop is 90% new, and no matter how bad it is, the shop will be clean..."
What she meant by this was that the door of the shop was now in a mess, and it would be labor-intensive and time-consuming to buy it and clean it.
When Mr. Mi heard the other party's unreasonable conditions, he immediately became embarrassed.
"How can you discuss buying a shop like this? Is this your first time preparing to start a business?" Mi Erye sarcastically said in a very unkind tone.
Mi Xiayao was not angry, she turned back and glanced at the mother-in-law behind her.
When the woman saw this, she quickly said: "Madam, this owner doesn't seem to be a good person. Although I'm willing to sell it to you, at worst, I won't look at other shops after the new year."
Another woman echoed, "That's Madam."
Mr. Mi Erye is a good person, and he quickly captures key words.
"May I ask, are you..."
"Nothing." Mi Xiayao smiled and waved her hand.
This action seemed to mean that there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place. Master Mi heard that the other party's husband had an official position.
He thought to himself that if this favor was sold, he would build a good relationship with this woman in the future, and he might be able to make new connections.
Mi Xiayao threw away the pretense and stood up to leave.
"This price is reasonable. There is still room for discussion. Madam, why don't we take a look again?"
Master Mi's eyes twitched and he quickly called to Mi Xiayao who was about to leave.
She turned her head to look at Master Mi and looked at him with a hesitant look.
"But didn't you just say that two thousand taels was ridiculous?"
"No, no, how could I mean this!? What I mean is that this is my first time doing business, so there must be some things that I don't understand, but it doesn't matter."
Mr. Mi was in a panic and looked extremely embarrassed.
She watched the scene in front of her with enjoyment and laughed.
"Is it possible for me to buy your shop for 1,500 taels? After all, it is too troublesome to eliminate the smell of rotten eggs at the entrance of your shop.
"If I hadn't seen you so easy to talk to, I would have had to chop a little more."
Mi Xiayao seemed to be speaking tentatively to Mr. Mi, but in fact she wanted to take the opportunity to chop another dragon-slaying knife.
"Madam, you are right." Mr. Mi wanted to cling to this official wife. His smile at the moment did not look like a smile. "Just follow what the madam said."
Her eyes lit up, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact she stabbed Mi Er Ye's heart with a knife, "How about a thousand taels?"
The corners of Mr. Mi's eyes twitched a few times, and he laughed dryly, "Madam..."
"Then let's settle it, one thousand taels." Mi Xiayao didn't care about the other party's life or death, so she decided on one thousand taels.
She turned her head to signal her mother-in-law to give her money, but her mother-in-law looked at the boss in front of her warily.
"My wife gave us the money very quickly, which shows our sincerity. According to the cooperation negotiation, this boss also has to give us the land deed and transfer rights of this shop, right?"
Mr. Mi was put in an awkward position for a while, unable to get up or get down.
In the end, he could only bite the bullet, and under the eyes of his mother-in-law and Mi Xiayao, he motioned to the shopkeeper behind him to get the land deed and white paper from the store, and went through the process in front of her.
The land deed was transferred to Mi Xiayao, and the mother-in-law put the large banknote on the table.
"You also know that my husband has a special status and it is not appropriate to use bills printed with official banknotes. I changed this specially."
After the two of them signed two copies, Mi Xiayao held the land deed in her hands and looked at the dying Master Mi in front of her with a smile.
"Madam's original surname is Song."
"Huh? Do you have any questions?" Mi Xiayao's tone rose slightly and she asked him back with a bit of majesty.
Seeing how powerful the other party was, Mr. Mi didn't dare to speak even more. He just said it was nothing.
After getting what she wanted, she turned around and took the land deed to the Yamen to go through the process. She saw with her own eyes that the shop No. 32 in Dongxiang was transferred to Song Qiao's name.
When she walked out of the yamen door, she quickly saw someone sneaking around the corner out of the corner of her eye.
She pretended not to see it, turned around and entered the long street where officials lived densely, because the alley turned left and right.
Taking advantage of the gap in the corner, she hid in a blind corner, and the woman walked forward in tacit agreement and also hid herself.
Mi Xiayao quickly wiped off the disguise on her face, took off the outer layer of her coat, and found a random place to stuff it up.
Finally, he took out the bronze mirror he carried with him to make sure there was nothing wrong with his face, and then walked out from the corner.
Then Mi Erye, who was following behind, saw that the person was missing and was boldly trying to find him.
As a result, the two people met face to face.
Mi Xiayao's beautiful eyes looked at the sneaky Second Uncle Mi in front of her with a crooked smile.
"Second uncle, what a coincidence that I can meet you here."
When Mr. Mi saw this niece, his face darkened, and he coughed dryly like an elder.
He glanced at the direction where Mi Xiayao came out, and when he looked over, he saw the character Pei.
At that moment, his face darkened, "You don't follow the rules of women, what do you look like when you walk out of the back door of someone else's house in broad daylight?"
Mi Xiayao followed his gaze and saw that it was the Pei Mansion.
She was surprised in her heart. She was so busy trying to avoid it that she didn't notice it. She accidentally walked to the door of Pei Xingyuan's house.
"Second Uncle, as an elder, why should I target the younger generation like this? How can I let you slander me like this when I am innocent?"
As she said this, she held up the handkerchief to wipe her tears.
