Gu Fei bowed to the old man: “Old man, I’m sorry, I accidentally stepped on you just now.”

The old man snorted and said nothing.

Gu Fei took out a few copper coins from her body, bent down, and put them in front of the old man: “Old man, it’s cold, you can’t sleep here at night, you should find a place to shelter from the wind.”

The old man suddenly got angry: “Get out, where did you come from, young lady? I’m not a beggar, who wants your copper coins!”

Gu Fei looked embarrassed, bent down to pick up the copper coins on the ground, and was about to leave. After thinking for a while, she asked the old man: “Old man, do you know whose house this is? Why is it empty? It’s a pity to leave it empty on such a busy street.”

She was thinking recently, her mother grows peppers and her father raises clams, what should she do? She can’t eat white rice at home.

Seeing such a good location, she couldn’t help but ask a few questions.

The old man stared at her and saw that she was wearing a brocade dress, followed by a maid and a servant standing next to her. Suddenly, his eyes turned: “Why are you asking this, little girl?”

Gu Fei smiled and said: “Nothing, I just feel it’s a pity. Such a good place, no matter what kind of store you open, the business should be good.”

The old man suddenly said: “Little girl has a vision.”

“From what you said, you want to open a store?”

Gu Fei nodded.

The old man suddenly said: “This house is mine. If you want to open a store, I will sell it to you.”

Gu Fei tilted her head and looked at the old man: “Don’t lie to me, old man.”

He was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar. How can he have such a big house?

The old man snorted coldly: “Who lied to you? If you don’t believe me, come in and see!”

Then the old man stood up, took out a yellow copper key from his body, turned around, and opened the door.

Gu Fei was surprised. It seemed that it belonged to this old man.

There was no light in the house. Fortunately, there were lanterns like a sea on the street today, and some light could be shined into the house.

Gu Fei looked around. The house was quite large, empty, and covered with dust. It seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.

The old man pointed to the back: “There is a yard behind me, and there is a building in the yard.”

Gu Fei estimated that a storefront in this location would cost thousands of taels of silver, so she waved her hand: “Old man, I won’t go to the back to look, I don’t have enough money to buy this house.”

“But can I rent this house?”

The old man shook his head and said: “I won’t rent it out, I only sell!”

He took another look at Gu Fei’s clothes and said angrily: “You little girl, you are not honest. If you don’t have a family background, how dare you wear a brocade satin that costs 10 taels of silver per foot?”

“You said you don’t have enough money, but you can make such clothes, I don’t believe you!”

“I think you are just playing a trick on me, an old man!”

Gu Fei smiled helplessly: “Old man, it’s true, I don’t have enough money.”

“Then how much money do you want to sell this house for?”

The old man stretched out three fingers: “I don’t want much, three thousand taels of silver, I can go to the government office with you to get the house deed tomorrow.”

Gu Fei stuck out her tongue and was hit by the price and wanted to run away, “Old man, then I will go back and see if I can get the money together.”

While talking, Gu Fei walked out.

The old man stood in the shadows, watching Gu Fei walk out, and murmured: “It’s been so long, maybe I can finally sell it.”

“It would be great if it could, and I would be relieved. ”
