Chapter 429: A common man dies with a jade in his arms

Gao E told Jin Ruyi about how Fan Shiping was rescued by Luo Dagang when he was assassinated. Jin Ruyi didn't expect to see him again so soon.

Fan Shiping didn't recognize Jin Ruyi for a moment: "You are..."

"I am a friend of Mrs. Chen. We met in Qinzhou City." Jin Ruyi reminded.

"Oh..." Fan Shiping thought of the woman beside Mrs. Chen. "What's going on today..."

"Mrs. Chen's niece is getting married," Jin Ruyi explained. "Why is Mr. Fan here too?"

Fan Shiping smiled and said, "I came to discuss business with Madam Chen. Since it's such a happy occasion, I'll go in and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and placed it on the gift table as a gift.

Jin Ruyi didn't care, but the person who was writing down the gift list widened his eyes, wondering who this person was and why he gave such a large gift.

"This is Mr. Chen's friend, just make a note of him." Jin Ruyi explained after seeing the person who was making the gift list was surprised.

The tip of the pen trembled slightly as the man took notes.

Jin Ruyi took Fan Shiping and Lu Hongliang in and found a place to sit down, and then went to tell Gao E.

Lu Hongliang sniffed around and said, "That's the smell."

Ever since he had eaten braised pork in He County, he had been obsessed with the taste and wanted to eat it this time. Unexpectedly, he encountered it at a banquet in the village.

Fan Shiping glanced at Lu Hongliang and said, "Hold on."

"You gave so much money." Lu Hongliang didn't care.

Jin Ruyi called Gao E aside and told her that Fan Shiping had arrived.

"Did he really say he came here to discuss business?" Gao E looked solemn.

"Yes." Jin Ruyi was very sure.

Gao E did not go to see Fan Shiping immediately. After all, the strange rocks from Ghost Crying Mountain were her fastest way to make money at the moment, and Fan Shiping was a man of great courage, so she didn't know how he planned to cooperate with her.

"What are you hesitating about?" Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E with a serious expression.

"You go find Luo Dagang and let Fan Shiping meet Luo Dagang first." Gao E ordered.

Since she traveled through time until now, she has made a lot of money and solved many problems in advance by relying on Chen Ke's hint of rebirth. This is the first time she has actually done business with someone, and it is such a big business.

Although Jin Ruyi was suspicious, she still went over.

Luo Dagang was helping in the kitchen. When he heard that Sister Gao asked him to go and see Fan Shiping, he felt a little surprised, but he just wiped his hands and went over.

Fan Shiping was surprised that there was such a nice village in such a remote place. He heard that this area was washed away by floods, but it was completely rebuilt in just over a year. It was really a miracle.

"Master Fan." Jin Ruyi brought Luo Dagang over.

Fan Shiping turned around to greet Jin Ruyi and saw Luo Dagang standing up hurriedly. His leg was stuck on the bench and he held on to the table with his hand to avoid falling.

"Benefactor." Fan Shiping saluted Luo Dagang.

"Yeah." Luo Dagang didn't think of himself as Fan Shiping's benefactor. After all, Fan Shiping gave him money.

Fan Shiping didn't care about Luo Dagang's indifference. He was just as indifferent when he saved him before: "I was in a hurry last time and didn't have much money on me. This time I must thank my benefactor well." He bowed deeply.

Seeing Fan Shiping's attitude, Jin Ruyi guessed Gao E's intention of asking Luo Dagang to meet Fan Shiping. It seemed that she wanted to test Fan Shiping's character.

"No need." Luo Dagang refused bluntly.

"You must thank me. Just tell me if you have any requests." Fan Shiping insisted.

Gao E saw clearly Fan Shiping's attitude when he met Luo Dagang. People who know how to repay kindness can't be bad people.

She walked over with a smile: "Mr. Fan, it's a coincidence that you came. Today is my niece's wedding day. Let's eat and drink well first, and we can talk about other things later."

When Fan Shiping saw Gao E, he was much more polite than before: "That's right. Every time I meet Madam Chen, everything goes smoothly for me."

The two of them exchanged polite words, and Gao E took Jin Ruyi and Luo Dagang away.

Jin Ruyi pulled Gao E aside and said, "Fan Shiping came here for the strange rocks in Ghost Crying Mountain."

"What else?" Gao E asked back.

"Then why do you want to test him like this?" Jin Ruyi thought it was just a business.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will only cooperate with him in our rare stone business." Gao E said in a low voice.

Jin Ruyi thought about it and realized that those strange stones were worthless in the eyes of ordinary people, and some even thought them ugly. They were not as good as a piece of land for growing crops. Only dignitaries and wealthy people would like those things.

Fan Shiping has such channels, which allows him to sell those strange stones in the best way.

"It's a crime to possess a treasure," Gao E whispered. "If someone discovered there was such a huge mountain, do you think they wouldn't be tempted?"

Jin Ruyi nodded: "I understand."

Chen Yuning's marriage went smoothly. Everyone came to congratulate her, and there was no noise. It lasted until very late.

Gao E arranged for Fan Shiping and Lu Hongliang to live in the school. The two did not mind and stayed there first.

Chen Ke was a little restless. When Gao E came back from checking that the children had gone to bed, she saw him walking around in the main room.

"What's wrong with my husband?" Gao E looked at Chen Ke strangely.

"Then what brings Mr. Fan here?" Chen Ke asked immediately.

"Oh, Mr. Fan did us a favor in Qinzhou City before. I gave him two strange stones. One is the literati's ink bone that my husband mentioned, and the other is full of holes. I guess he came here for the strange stone." Gao E explained.

Chen Ke was surprised: "Where did you get this strange stone, ma'am?"

"I found it...at Ghost Crying Mountain." Gao E looked confused. "Doesn't my husband know?"

Chen Ke was stunned. How could he know?

In his previous life, he had seen the Scholar's Ink Bone in the capital, and people said it was magical, so he was very surprised to see it after his rebirth. However, he did not expect that the thing was in their He County.

Gao E looked at Chen Ke's reaction and asked, "How does my husband know about the literary bones?"

"I..." Chen Ke's eyes flickered. "I saw someone playing with it." He said hurriedly, "Then let's quickly buy Ghost Crying Mountain. Strange rocks are a favorite of scholars."

"I have already bought it." Gao E looked at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke paused for a moment, then laughed dryly: "When did you buy it?"

"It was when my sister-in-law wanted to buy back the land that the Gao family had previously owned." Gao E said frankly, "I saw something my husband liked there, and the price was cheap, so I bought it."

After hearing Gao E say this, Chen Ke guessed that it was bought with his dowry, so it was his wife's private property, and he didn't want to ask about it.

"That's great." Although Chen Ke felt a little disappointed, he didn't say anything.

"Is there any problem?" Gao E took in Chen Ke's reaction.

It was better than she thought. He was just a little disappointed for missing out on such a huge fortune.

Chen Ke thought about it. In his previous life, he had no idea that the literati's ink bones came from He County. The person who sold the strange stone must have deliberately concealed the origin. Now that the Ghost Crying Mountain was in the hands of his wife, he naturally had to be cautious.

"A common man will die if he possesses a precious stone." Chen Ke said solemnly, "If others knew how precious the stone is, they would certainly covet it. My lady, you must be careful."
