She strolled around mainly to see where would be suitable to set up a stall. After her elder brother finished his exams, she wanted to come here to hand out flyers and sell ointments, so she had to investigate first.

After strolling around these past few days, I have learned almost everything.

At this time, the guy from the dental shop came to her and said that he had found two places and would take her to see them.

Shen Li followed and took a look. One of the shops was located in the center of the busy street. It was neither big nor small. It used to be a restaurant, but the owner wanted to leave now, so he wanted to sell it.

She was satisfied with the location, but it was still a bit big for her to sell perfume. Also, the decoration might be a bit difficult. After all, the restaurant and her perfume shop had nothing to do with each other, and she had to redecorate everything.

The second place was at the end of the busy street, not yet on the street, and required a right turn. The place was not big, but not particularly small either, but for her, it seemed just enough, and it even had an inner room where people could live.

Things used to be sold in there, but now the owner has quit and all the stuff has been moved out, leaving only an empty shop. It wouldn't be difficult to renovate it.

Of the two stores, Shen Li preferred the second one and decided to buy the second one.

Its location may not be ideal, but the price is acceptable, half the price of the first one. If her perfume is well promoted, the location will not be that important.

Moreover, next to this shop on the main street is a rouge shop.

Shen Li looked at the guy at the dental shop. It was indeed easy to get things done with someone. "When can we trade?"

"The deed is in my hands. The owner is not in Xiezhou Prefecture now, and has entrusted our brokerage firm to sell it. The price I give you is the lowest price after discussing with him. You are the owner's friend, so we will naturally not use any tricks. Everything will be based on your needs first."

As expected of a big dental shop, this guy really knows how to talk: "Okay, I'll give you 200 taels as a deposit, and I want this house. You can keep it for a few days. After the provincial examination, I will go back home to get the money and send it to you."

When Shen Li was about to take out the money, she remembered that she didn't bring that much money. She came here just to learn more and take a look, but she didn't expect to be able to buy it so quickly. The price of two thousand two was not beyond her budget at all, and it was even a bit cheap.

"No deposit is required. We trust our boss's friends. I'll keep this for you."

Shen Li really wanted to give this guy a thumbs up. If he wasn't Jin Duobao's man, she would really like to poach him: "Okay, the store is fine. Next, you should pay attention to the house."

"So what are your requirements? For example, location and size?"

"I'm not familiar with this provincial capital, so I'll just give you a rough idea and see if we can make it happen. It shouldn't be too far from this shop and should be somewhere that can accommodate us..." Shen Li calculated.

There are five people in her family, and Li Erya's family will definitely come with them, as well as Wu Zhong and maybe Qin Yueying. She is worried about leaving her alone in Pingjia Village, and Guan's mother may also come.

There are twelve people in total, plus the number of maids and servants is not certain yet, and if we leave some guest rooms or something, it seems that a really large house is needed.

"There are twelve people living here now, not counting the maids and such, so I estimate that there should be room for at least twenty people."

The waiter smiled and said, "There aren't that many people here. You can just buy a three-story house. There is a main house and wing rooms in the house. It's big enough for you to live in. I'll find one for you when I get back."

"Okay, but there's no rush. I came to the prefecture mainly to accompany my eldest brother to the provincial examination. If there's a suitable one, I can decide on it. If not, we can wait and see."

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, shall we leave first?"

Shen Li looked at the shop again and felt very satisfied. The shop was sold for two thousand taels, and she had more than eight thousand taels left, which was enough to buy a house.

Time passed quickly and it was the day of the provincial examination. Shen Li watched Shen Han and Guan Wenyi enter the Imperial Examination Hall, then returned to the inn.

They need to take three exams, each lasting three days, for a total of nine days.

She couldn't wait outside, so she would go and pick them up after she finished the exam.

Before going in, Shen Han told her not to wander around and just stay in the inn and wait for them.

Shen Xing hasn't come to see them yet, so it seems that Ma Changcai and the others have not taken any action.

Shen Li rested in the inn for a day. The next day, the broker came and said he wanted to take her to see two houses.

Looking at the big house in front of him, the front door was very imposing. Shen Li followed the waiter inside and found that it was very spacious, with some green trees and rockery, but no one took care of them, so it looked a bit dirty.

It is a three-story courtyard. The hall and main house are nice, and the side rooms on both sides can accommodate a lot of people.

The location is also good, not far from the market or anything. The guy said it's not far from the shops either.

But how should I put it, it's just average, there's nothing wrong with it, but there's nothing particularly special about it, so Shen Li still wants to look at something else.

I went to the next house with my friend. This one seemed a little remote and far from the bustling street market. It seemed that if we went a little further, we would reach the outskirts of the city.

“Isn’t this place farther from the store?”

"It's a bit farther than the previous one, but this place is quiet and secluded, and you'll know if you follow me inside." After the waiter said that, he opened the door and went in.

After hearing what he said, Shen Li looked inside curiously. It really was a paradise on earth. The green plants inside were very good and the layout was very elegant. It was pleasing to the eye.

I followed the guy around and found that the furniture in the house was new and well-maintained, and the trees, flowers, plants and rocks in the yard were all arranged just right.

The most important thing is that in the middle of the yard, there is a camellia tree, which looks to be more than ten years old. Shen Li looked at the white flowers blooming on the tree and could faintly smell some light fragrance of the flowers, which really made people happy.

It can be seen that the original owner had good taste.

The waiter could see that she liked it. "This place is really suitable for living. It's not noisy, and the place is big enough. It's not too far from the market. It only takes less than 25 minutes to walk there. But look at the layout inside. If you're in a hurry, you can just move nothing and live here."

Two quarters of an hour? In other words, less than half an hour. Shen Li thought this was acceptable. It was just that he might need to waste some time on people's livelihood, but he would definitely need maids in the future, so it was not a big problem. "This house is nice. How much is it?"

Shen Li admired this guy more and more. He was really good at doing things.

"Three thousand five hundred taels."

This price is about the same as the first one, but the first one needs repairs and this one does not. Shen Li knows that the price cannot be negotiated.

She didn't want to look at anything else. She could afford it anyway, so she decided on this one: "This is it. I'll pay after I pass the provincial exam."

"Okay, I'll keep it for you then."

Shen Li nodded. He spent nearly half of his fortune on this trip, but he got what he wanted so smoothly. He felt pretty good.
