The general's wife knows medicine

The shop on East Street is closer to Cao’s family. It is the seventh shop on the way from Cao’s family to East Street market.

The location is relatively central.

It is very close to West Street and North Street.

North Street is just past the tenth shop on the East Street. There is a small alley, and the North Street is in the past.

Tang Peipei is still very satisfied with this location. It is really a good location. It would be a pity if it was sold like this.

But she was lucky to have the opportunity to buy a shop in such a good location.

Butler Cao brought Tang Peipei and the other person to the store. The store now sells gold and silver jewelry.

As soon as Butler Cao arrived, the shop owner came out to greet him with a smile, saying, "Butler Cao, what brings you here? Come in, please."

As he said this, he made way and let Butler Cao enter the shop first.

Tang Peipei couldn't help but shake her head. Did he mistake Butler Cao for Master Cao?

However, this was none of her business, so Tang Peipei didn't say much and followed Butler Cao into the store.

The boss saw Tang Peipei and Yang Tingzhen behind Butler Cao and asked curiously, "Who are these two?" He felt that the person behind him seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Butler Cao said, "These are two guests who want to buy the shop. I brought them here just to take a look at the shop."

When the boss heard that they were buying a shop, he immediately greeted them warmly, "Would you like to go upstairs?"

Although the boss looked enthusiastic, his smile did not reach his eyes.

Tang Peipei didn't want to play along with him, so she said, "Let me take a look at the shop first."

Butler Cao winked at the boss and said with a smile, "I'll take you two there."

This shop also has a backyard, which looks bigger than the one on West Street, and is now occupied by the owner and his family.

The shop is not big, with a normal shop area, but it has a second floor.

There is a room upstairs, which is now used by the boss to receive customers.

Tang Peipei was quite satisfied with this shop. Although it was not big, it should be just right for her to use as a garment shop.

Later, the second floor can be modified and used as a dressing room for VIP guests.

Tang Peipei looked at the entire shop and had a rough idea of ​​how to decorate it.

He said to Yang Tingzhen, "Let's go and find Mr. Cao to sign the sales documents."

When Butler Cao heard that Tang Peipei had made the decision, he was a little surprised and asked, "Miss Tang, have you made the decision?"

Tang Peipei looked at him curiously: "What's wrong? I decided to buy it, shouldn't Butler Cao be happy?"

Butler Cao smiled a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Of course, I am happy."

Tang Peipei ignored him and walked out of the shop.

Yang Tingzhen followed.

Butler Cao was extremely angry, but he still followed Tang Peipei.

The three of them returned to the Cao family. Master Cao came over from the backyard and asked with a smile, "What do you think of Miss Tang?"

Tang Peipei said: "Well, it's quite suitable. Let's talk about the price."

Before Mr. Cao could say anything, Butler Cao said, "Miss Tang, the price we set is already very low. Can we not negotiate further?"

Tang Peipei ignored him and just looked at Master Cao and said, "Master Cao, you want to sell two shops and a property together. This price is not appropriate. After all, the only shop I am interested in is your shop in the East Market. What do you think?"

Butler Cao said quickly: "Master, this shop cannot be sold separately."

Hearing this, Tang Peipei asked curiously, "Why is this?"

Butler Cao didn't know what to say for a moment and was choked. He could only look at Master Cao, hoping that Master Cao would say something.

Mr. Cao originally wanted to buy a shop and a house quickly and return home with his wife as soon as possible.

The couple did not have any children in their lifetime, so there was no one to inherit these properties.

Mr. Cao didn't care how much silver he could get from the sale, as long as he and his wife could return home and enjoy their old age.

Now that his wife's health is getting worse day by day, he has begun to feel anxious.

Mr. Cao decided to sell them together because he heard from Butler Cao that selling them together would save a lot of trouble and give him more time.

Hearing Tang Peipei's question, Master Cao thought for a moment and then asked, "Miss Tang, do you only want to buy my shop on East Street?"

It seemed that Mr. Cao was a little reluctant, but Tang Peipei had just asked casually. Since she had seen it and accepted it, she would certainly not make things difficult for Mr. Cao.

Then he smiled and said, "No, I'm just curious. Since I've looked in several places, I don't have any opinions, so as long as the price is right, I'll buy them all."

When Mr. Cao heard that Tang Peipei had decided to buy everything, he was very happy. He could finally take his wife back home.

Said: "Then how much do you think is appropriate, Miss Tang?"

At this time, Butler Cao was extremely disgusted with Tang Peipei and felt that Tang Peipei had ruined his business. He hoped that Tang Peipei could lower the price, so that Master Cao would definitely not agree. Then he could buy the two shops and the house at a slightly higher price.

Then he would be the owner of the Cao residence, and he would be Master Cao.

Butler Cao was originally a servant bought by Master Cao and had been with him for more than 30 years. Master Cao felt that Butler Cao had worked diligently for him over the years, so he told Butler Cao that he would release his indenture before leaving so that he could enjoy his old age.

That's why Butler Cao had a different idea. He had saved some money over the years, and he helped to manage the shops of Master Cao, so he thought about buying both shops. He also wanted to buy this house, as he had lived in it for so many years. However, he did not have enough money, so he thought about delaying Master Cao.

When Mr. Cao was finally in a hurry to sell his property, he would find someone to come forward and buy all of Mr. Cao's property on his behalf.

The plan was originally going well, but who knew that Tang Peipei would appear.

It was rare for Tang Peipei to see a shop that she was satisfied with, so of course she would not give up, and she also knew that the price was reasonable.

Then he said, "Master Cao, do you think four hundred taels is possible?"

Mr. Cao felt a little distressed, but thinking about his wife's current condition, he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as Miss Tang said."

Tang Peipei didn't expect Master Cao to be so straightforward. He laughed and said, "Master Cao, don't worry. I will never let you suffer any loss."

Mr. Cao smiled bitterly in his heart. He was now short of fifty taels of silver, which was enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably in the capital for two years.

Tang Peipei didn't explain much.

Butler Cao felt a little annoyed when he saw that the matter had now become a foregone conclusion.

At this time, Master Cao shouted, "Lao Zhen, help me get some paper and pen."

Butler Cao hardened his heart and knelt down in front of Master Cao.

Said: "Master, I, I..."

Master Cao looked puzzled and asked, "What's going on? If you have anything to say, just tell me. What are you doing?"

Mr. Cao walked up to Butler Cao and helped him up.

Butler Cao finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and refused to get up, saying, "Master, I, I want to buy your two shops and houses."

When Mr. Cao heard this, he was stunned.

He had never thought that Butler Cao had such an idea.

He looked at Butler Cao, then at Tang Peipei, somewhat at a loss.
