"Yes, you are Aunt Jin, right?" Yan Dongjun asked with a smile.

Aunt Jin nodded calmly, turned to look at Su Qing and the other two, and asked, "Who among you wants to buy my house?"

Su Qing said quickly: "It's me."

After hearing this, Aunt Jin looked at Su Qing and nodded, saying, "Come in and talk."

Su Qing and a few others followed Aunt Jin into the yard. As soon as they entered, Su Qing found that the yard was very well maintained. Not only was it clean and tidy, but it also exuded elegance and refinement everywhere. Not only that, there were many flowers planted in the flower beds by the wall, some of which were about to bloom. Even under the moon gate and the corridor, there were many flower pots.

It can be seen that this old lady loves flowers very much.

Aunt Jin spoke very little. She led a few people into the yard and showed them around the yard and the rooms. Although this courtyard was only a two-story building and not very big, not only was the yard elegantly decorated, but every corner of the room also exuded warmth and refinement.

Mahogany furniture, beaded curtains and gauze draperies, flower arrangements in a vase by the window, and calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

Cheng Beilin smacked his lips and whispered to Su Qing, "Is this how the wealthy families in the past were decorated?"

The Cheng family is also very wealthy, but Cheng Beilin has received Western education since childhood, and the decoration of her home is also Western. She has never seen this kind of Chinese style before.

However, at first sight, Cheng Beilin fell in love with her.

"Like it?" Su Qing whispered and smiled to Cheng Beilin.

Cheng Beilin nodded frantically: "I like it."

The two of them had just whispered a few words when they heard Aunt Jin say, "You've all looked at this yard, what do you think?"

As she spoke, Aunt Jin looked at Su Qing.

Su Qing smiled and said, "Auntie Jin, I like this yard very much."

Aunt Jin nodded and said, "Before you, several groups of people came and took a fancy to my yard, but I didn't sell it because I won't lower the price of this yard by a penny, and I have additional conditions for buying my yard."

After that, Aunt Jin looked at Su Qing and continued, "I don't like beating around the bush. I'll just say what I want to say. If you agree with it, we can talk about the rest. If you don't agree with my conditions, there's no need to talk any further. It will save us all time."

After hearing what Aunt Jin said, Cheng Beilin's eyes opened wide. Wow, so direct.

"Okay, you go ahead." Su Qing nodded.

Seeing that Su Qing did not show any impatience or displeasure, Aunt Jin nodded secretly in her heart and continued, "I just said that I will not reduce the price of the house by a penny, and I will leave all the furniture in this yard to you, but I have one request. You cannot change the layout and decoration of this yard at will unless necessary repairs are needed. Moreover, I will come back to check once a year. If you make any changes without permission, you need to compensate me and restore the yard to its original state."

After hearing what Aunt Jin said, Cheng Beilin was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. My goodness, this house has been sold to someone else, why does she still care about how they decorate the yard? Although she admits that the decoration of this yard is indeed beautiful, it is already someone else's house, and she can't stop others from changing the decoration of the house. This is a bit too unreasonable.

Even Yan Dongjun and Cheng Beize were somewhat surprised by what Aunt Jin said. However, Su Qing was very calm. She looked at Aunt Jin and asked, "Aunt Jin, this courtyard has a lot of memories for you, right?"

After hearing Su Qing's words, Aunt Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes, but I'm going to Xiangcheng and won't stay in Beijing anymore. This house will be ruined if no one lives in it. If I rent it out, I'm afraid the tenant won't cherish it, so I plan to sell it. In this way, at least someone will take care of it and keep it in good condition."

"Ah, Aunt Jin, you are going to Xiangcheng?" After hearing what Aunt Jin said, Cheng Beilin asked in surprise: "I heard that you are going to seek refuge with your son. Is your son in Xiangcheng?"

"Yes." Aunt Jin nodded, but didn't say anything else.

Seeing that Aunt Jin didn't say anything more, Cheng Beilin didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions.

Su Qing thought about it and said, "Auntie Jin, I can agree to your request, but I think we need to write an agreement. After all, you said that the decoration style of this yard cannot be changed, but if I buy this yard, I will inevitably make some arrangements for it. If you say that these arrangements also need compensation, then I really can't explain it clearly. So, I need you to define a general range so that I know which places cannot be moved."

"No problem." Aunt Jin nodded and said, "That's as it should be. The things I mean that can't be moved are this yard and the decoration in the house, as well as the flowers and trees I planted and the flower pots under the veranda. The furniture can't be replaced. As for the other things, I won't care. In short, you can't move the general surface things."

This yard holds too many memories for Aunt Jin. At least she hopes that during her lifetime, this yard can remain roughly the same as she remembers it.

"Okay, if that's the case, I can guarantee that I won't change the decoration style of this yard. I won't move the flower beds, potted plants, and trees planted in the yard." Su Qing nodded. She also liked the decoration style of this yard. What's more, she was planning to buy a few more yards and live in them in turn. It didn't matter whether the style of this yard was changed or not.

Aunt Jin probably didn't expect Su Qing to agree so readily. You know, the previous waves of people, not to mention constantly trying to lower the price, just shook their heads when they heard her conditions, feeling unwilling to be controlled by others.

"Did you really agree?" Aunt Jin still didn't quite believe it. In fact, she felt that her request was a bit excessive. After all, the yard had been sold, and she really shouldn't have any demands. However, she was unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to let her memories disappear like this. She hoped that the yard could continue to remain the same.

"I agree." Su Qing nodded and said, "Let's write a charter later, and write down in black and white the specific places that cannot be changed. This can be regarded as our previous agreement. Now, let's talk about the price of this house."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jin nodded and said, "Okay, I will sell you this yard, including the yard and furniture, for a total of two thousand one."

Su Qing smiled and said, "Are you sure? You don't regret it?"
