After the servant knocked on the door, Gu Changfeng asked him to stand behind him so as not to scare the owner of the house.

The person who opened the door was a woman who was blind in one eye.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Even though one of her eyes was blind, one could still see her original beauty. In this backward and poor village, the woman was dressed much more decently than the old lady, and even had a thin bracelet on her wrist.

"Madam, we are engaged in the fur business in the capital. We heard that the court recently intends to allocate funds here, and we plan to open a shop. I heard that your house has good feng shui, so I plan to talk to you about this house."

The woman was delighted when she heard this. "My family has good feng shui? Master, I'm afraid you've been deceived. There are always rumors coming in from the court, but they're just talk and making fun of us. How could they really allocate funds? They never allocated funds even when there were natural disasters in the past."

Gu Changfeng and the servant exchanged a glance with an annoyed look, "Is this really the case? Maybe we just heard it from others, and we don't have many friends in the officialdom. This, this, this, I thought it was true."

"If you're afraid that I'll deceive you, come in and sit down. My man will be back soon. But I have to make it clear that I don't want to sell this house. I've lived here for decades and I'm used to it."

The woman led them in, saying as they walked, "Business in the capital city is not easy, is it? People are starting to believe in such unfounded things? Why is my house's feng shui so good? Can you tell me? Did the people in the village say so?"

This house was just as he had imagined, much better than his grandmother's house, but compared with the homes of ordinary people in Beijing, it was still in the style that was popular ten years ago.

"I heard that when the flood happened, your family was very lucky because you met an official. Other families went to seek refuge with their relatives and had a hard time making a living, but your family was not affected at all..."

This woman was a talkative person, and she blurted out, "He's a high-ranking official. I don't know what happened, but he fell in love with my eldest son and insisted that we were destined to be together and that he should be adopted as his son. The child's father and I would never agree, but we had to think about the child. Even if he wants to study and get a good reputation in the future, it's much better for him to know an official than not to know him at all."

Fate? What kind of excuse is this?

"From what you said, in addition to the eldest son, is the second son also recognized as an adopted son?"

"No, it's a daughter, from someone else's family. The couple used to live near our house. Later, the wife didn't make it through childbirth, and the husband couldn't bear it and jumped into the river. We took the child home to raise. She is six years younger than our eldest son, and now she is exactly thirteen years old. According to the scholars, her name is something like Doukou..."

"The prime of youth." said Gu Changfeng.

"Yes, yes, that's right, she's in her prime. This child is so pretty, unlike me, who is blind in one eye..."

As she was talking, the woman's husband came back from outside, carrying a basket on his back. He put the basket down when he entered the yard and asked, "Wife, are there guests at home?"

The woman slapped her thigh and immediately walked to the door frame, "You are back. There is a master in our family who wants to open a shop in our village and he likes the location of our house."

Gu Changfeng also stood up and adjusted the fur around his neck, but when the man walked in, he was stunned.

This guy...even though he is Zhou Chaoyang's biological father, he looks too much like Zhou Chaoyang, doesn't he? Oh no, it's Zhou Chaoyang who looks like him. They are just like each other.

Seeing this, the woman stopped talking and said she would make a pot of tea for the guest.

The man looked a little nervous: "You want to buy my house?"

Gu Changfeng nodded, "I heard from people nearby that the court is going to allocate funds to the south of the city to build a shop. The villagers said that your house has good feng shui."

The man gave a half-mocking smile, "Boss, you've been fooled. My family can't even keep an heir, so how can we have good feng shui?"

The servant at the side said, "What do you mean? Madam just said that the official was adopted as your son because he had a connection with your son, wasn't that right?"
