"I’ve looked through them all."
"What stuff?"
So many books? You’ve looked through all of them? It seems these books only ca into Sui Yi’s possession after he entered Capital City!
Flower Demon almost dropped the book in her hands. "Then why are you moving them?"
Yhan Qingwu promptly reminded, "These books are likely ancient texts, invaluable yet vulnerable to damage, Yaofei, you must be careful~"
Although Flower Demon and Gong Jiu were masters at tomb raiding and highly knowledgeable about antiques, they weren’t very proficient in matters of calligraphy and painting. They just noticed that these books looked old and ragged, suggesting so significance, but as for judging their authenticity, they really had no clue. Hearing this, they were suddenly taken aback.
However, they handled the books with greater care now, damn it, this was all money~.
Once the books were moved, there wasn’t much else to do. Gong Jiu made a gesture, "There are a few guys over there sneaking photos, looks like paparazzi, shall I go over.."
"Forget it, they’re irrelevant," Sui Yi didn’t care, so Gong Jiu didn’t bother either, and the group drove away...
The place Sui Yi was relocating to was the Zhiyuan Duke’s Mansion he had previously taken an interest in purchasing. Thanks to the help of Old Master Ye and others, in three months, they demolished and rebuilt, then refurbished it, hiring the best construction teams and designers. They managed to reconstruct the mansion, though the antique style was definitely based on Sui Yi’s own drawings.
From the outside, it definitely had the charm of the ancient, with two large stone lions at the front.
Once inside, modern facilities were hidden within, utilizing state-of-the-art technology, highly suitable for modern living, convenient, yet not lacking ancient charm. Therefore, Gong Jiu and the others fell in love with it at first sight.
This appearance, extrely impressive!
It’s incomparable to any duplex apartnt.
No wonder it’s said that nobles and high officials lived in all corners.
Capital City was right under the emperor’s feet, where the nobles used to dwell within these courtyards...
Therefore, the country’s top tycoons and noble families take pride in purchasing one of these courtyards...
"Wow, this mansion is really well-renovated. Had I known, I would have bought a courtyard house to play around with too! By the way, Sui Yi, how much did you pay for this mansion?"
"Eighty million."
With just a light ntion from Sui Yi, Gong Jiu and the others were surprised at the entrance, "Eighty million? That’s a really low price. I’ve also inquired about the market for courtyard houses in Capital City these days, this mansion must be at least 6000 square ters, price-wise, it should be at least one hundred million..."
That was the market value at the ti Sui Yi purchased it, and with the price increasing daily and the authorities looking strictly, the current price was feared to be even higher.
But soon they learned that the mansion was over 7000 square ters, and indeed, the deal Sui Yi got was for eighty million.
That’s a steal!
"There was soone on the inside smoothing the way with the officials," Sui Yi casually explained, instantly enlightening Gong Jiu and the others. It must have been a gesture of goodwill from the Imperial Guards. To the officials, millions were trivial; if they could show goodwill towards a master like Sui Yi, it was extrely worthwhile, especially since Sui Yi himself was a wealthy tycoon, whose annual taxes could buy such a courtyard house.
Right, Sui Yi had also saved Cao Yu and others before...
Was this returning the favor with interest?
Gong Jiu and the others laughed, as they saw Su Zimu and Su Ziyi coming over from the Su Mansion to help with the move.
Now Sui Yi was practically a neighbor to the Su Family, and future interactions were inevitable. Besides, Su Zimu was no outsider, so Gong Jiu and the others imdiately greeted them with cheerful hellos.
Upon opening the car door, each person carried books inside, the grand gate wide open, the interior view caught their eyes, and Gong Jiu’s first reaction was to widen his eyes.
"My goodness..."
Su Zimu had supervised the construction over these three months and hadn’t spared any effort in helping Sui Yi build this courtyard house, so he knew the place the best. Listening to Gong Jiu and the others’ comnts about the courtyard, he just laughed.
Although the price was low, I think it’s because the mansion was too dilapidated at the start, which made an otherwise excellent market appeal completely unattractive. And building the courtyard turned out to cost much more than the purchasing price."
Su Zimu’s words surprised the others.
"You an..." (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to qidian to vote for recomndation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
