Chapter 895: Miss Ding's Invitation
As Shu Yu walked out from behind him and took a look, she couldn't help but reveal a delighted expression.
The backyard was even bigger than she had imagined. No wonder the former county magistrate had been eager to acquire it.
San Ya pointed not far ahead and shouted, "Second sister, look, there's a two-story building over there."
The backyard had rockeries and pavilions, and there was even a pond with a small wooden bridge and a pavilion in the middle.
If lotus flowers were planted in the pond, it would be incredibly beautiful in the summer.
Several children had already run up to the pavilion, leaning on the benches and looking at the pond. Da Hu suggested, "Second sister, we can raise a few fish here later."
Shu Yu thought it was feasible and was about to nod when he continued, "This way, we won't have to buy fish from the market when we want to eat them. I can catch a couple myself."
Shu Yu... I thought you were talking about decorative carp.
She shook her head and laughed, then continued walking forward. There was a raised platform ahead, and she climbed up the stone steps. There were a few rooms that could serve as a girl's chamber.
Next to it was a small bamboo forest, but the bamboo had been cut down. Otherwise, it would have been cool in the summer.
Continuing on, they arrived at a two-story loft. It was exquisitely built and, at the very least, in much better condition than the dilapidated front yard. The materials used were also of higher quality.
Shu Yu came down from the loft and strolled around the spacious backyard.
She couldn't help but marvel in her heart. This house was called a three-entry courtyard, but with this backyard, it was no different from a five-entry courtyard.
Compared to the front yard, the backyard was even bigger.
Shu Yu was very satisfied with this property, and the other members of the Lu family were also amazed. Who would have thought that after the pleasant surprise of opening the main gate, there would be another pleasant surprise when opening the back gate?
Everyone didn't want to leave as they wandered around the backyard, especially Lu Sanzhu, who wished he could just settle down here.
The children ran around in the backyard, enjoying the rare spacious area where they could frolic and play.
Until a familiar exclamation came from outside, "This backyard is so beautiful."
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Da Niu and Zhou Qiao who had arrived.
"Why are you here?"
"Ah Yu, the news of your appointment as a village lord has been announced. Today, many people came to the shop and bought all the clothes. Since there were no more items in the shop, they started asking about you, so we had to close early and come out."
Da Niu was also helpless. "We went to Liufang Lane and heard from Auntie Axiang that you came to see the house, so we came over here."
When they arrived, the main gate wasn't closed and had a small gap.
After knocking on the door for a long time with no response, Da Niu pushed it open and came in directly.
They had already seen the front yard and were shocked once before.
Shu Yu was surprised. "All the clothes were sold out?"
Da Niu nodded. "There are still some inventory in the tailor shop. Should we bring them to the store?"
Shu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Even if we bring them now, they'll sell out quickly. They came to buy because of today's buzz. If it's not suitable later, they might even be dissatisfied, which would harm our shop's reputation. It's better to close for a couple of days and reopen after the situation has calmed down."
Da Niu also thought the same. It was a good opportunity for him to go out and search for a farm during these two days.
After discussing the situation at the shop, Da Niu took out an invitation. "This is from Miss Ding. She asked me to give it to you."
