Farming and reading family

In fact, Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian only knew that He Tangchun had been the magistrate of He County. When they inquired about this matter, they learned that Miss Meiyun and the Gao family had a close relationship.

They also inquired about some things about Gao E and Guikui Mountain. Combined with her friendship with Miss Meiyun, the two guessed that Guikui Mountain was most likely Gao E's.

With this guess, they came here without delay. Even if it wasn't him, with the relationship with Miss Meiyun, they could still ask the Gao family who owned Ghost Crying Mountain.

"Please take a seat." Gao E led them to the main room and signaled Lianxin to pour tea.

She didn't suspect anything was wrong, as Xu Boyan had taken her to meet these two people before.

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian glanced at the armchair in the main room. It was a southern style, made of high-quality wood, and was quite old.

I suddenly felt that the Chen family had some background. Although the house didn't look very good, the furniture was very exquisite.

"I wonder what business you two want to discuss?" Gao E asked directly.

Meng Xiangxian cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Ghost Crying Mountain belongs to Madam Chen. My master likes it very much. Can you sell Ghost Crying Mountain to us?"

Gao E was surprised: "Your master wants to live in Ghost Crying Mountain?"

Meng Xiangxian wondered what the woman meant by this: "My master likes the strange rocks on Ghost Crying Mountain."

"Oh." Gao E suddenly realized, "Then why not just buy some rare stones and take them back? Why go through so much trouble?"

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian looked at each other, wondering whether Gao was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Gao E lowered her eyes slightly and guessed that these two people had already been to Ghost Mountain, but Yu Zhao's people were completely unaware of it.

Liang Tian smiled and said, "We want to buy the mountain. Madam Chen, name a price." He did not give Gao E a chance to avoid the question.

Gao E frowned and said, "You two also know that there are rare stones on that mountain, but it's hard to estimate the price right now."

"We buy the mountain at its price. Who knows how many rare rocks it might yield." Liang Tian smiled, but was not polite at all. "My uncle was once the magistrate of He County. He has been promoted now. The current magistrate should also show some respect to my uncle."

Gao E heard the threat in his words.

Xu Boyan really understands the Tao family. He speaks very nicely and acts very domineeringly.

"What price do you two want to offer?" Gao E looked at them with a smile.

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian looked at each other. Although Gao was a country woman, she was very steady in her work. In addition, she kept a low profile in guarding Ghost Crying Mountain, so she must be a prejudiced person.

Meng Xiangxian also smiled: "Mrs. Chen may not know much about our Tao family."

"Do you understand that your Tao family will influence the two bids?" Gao E asked doubtfully. "Are you two trying to use your power to force a sale?"

Meng Xiangxian paused. He had not expected Gao E to be so direct. "Mrs. Chen is also a smart person. She should know that the benefits of cultivating certain relationships are immeasurable."

"I don't do things that are immeasurable, because I'm not sure." Gao E continued to talk to them.

Gao E felt that these two people were just like bosses who painted big promises for their employees.

She didn't want to sell Ghost Mountain unless the other party offered a price that made her excited.

Now it seems that the other party does not want to bid at all, and is trying to get a bargain.

Meng Xiangxian didn't know how to evaluate Gao E for a moment.

Call her stupid, but she can see through their little thoughts at a glance.

But it can't be considered smart in any way. Smart people see through things but don't say them out loud, otherwise it will not benefit anyone if the relationship is torn apart.

Liang Tian laughed. "Mrs. Chen's insights are truly unique. Since Mrs. Chen is so direct, we won't beat around the bush. A mountain like that usually costs three hundred to five hundred taels. We'll offer six thousand taels."

Gao E couldn't help laughing and hurriedly controlled her expression.

"Six thousand taels is not a small amount." Meng Xiangxian saw Gao E's ridicule immediately subsided. "After all, it is possible to do business with our Tao family."

Gao E could only continue to laugh: "To be honest, I sold a batch of rare stones to the capital and made six thousand taels."

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian had dry expressions. No wonder Gao had such an attitude.

"I am a partner with him and we have a lot of business dealings. He said that his daughter has entered the palace, so more people are looking for him to buy rare stones." Gao E looked at the two of them.

It's just threatening people, and you say it as if everyone can do it.

"So the price you two offered is really..." Gao E looked embarrassed.

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian looked at each other again. It seemed that Gao knew the market situation, and it was impossible for them to deceive them.

Moreover, with such huge profits, the Gao family would not easily sell Ghost Crying Mountain.

Meng Xiangxian cleared his throat and said, "The rare stone business is all about hobbies. It's a one-time deal. You never know when you might not be able to sell a single stone."

"But I still have the mountain." Gao E said that it was the worst that could happen.

The two were silent for a while.

"It seems we won't be able to reach a conclusion today." Meng Xiangxian said as he stood up. "How about this, we should all think about it carefully. Madam Chen knows Miss Meiyun from our family, so she can also write a letter to learn about the situation of the Tao family."

Liang Tian also stood up and said, "Even though the business didn't go well, we still have a relationship. It's a bit abrupt today. I'll pay you a formal visit another day."

They felt that they didn't know much about the Gao family and decided to go back and find out more.

"Goodbye, both of you." Gao E stood up and saw the guests off.

The two men nodded slightly, not caring about Gao E's bad attitude.

After sending the people to the door, Gao E watched the three people leave before turning around and going home.

"Do you know that groom?" Gao E returned to the yard and looked at Lu Qingluo.

"He is a master." Lu Qingluo wanted to say that Gao E was blind.

Gao E only thought that the man might have some martial arts skills, but she didn't see that he was a master: "Can you beat him?"

"Probably not." Lu Qingluo thought of Zhu Mo. "If they team up with Black Face, they might win."

"Who is the black-faced guy?" Gao E wondered why Lu Qingluo hadn't told her.

"The one next to Xu Boyan."

"Zhu Mo?" Gao E guessed.

Lu Qingluo nodded.

Gao E felt that Lu Qingluo's name was not good, and his nickname was not very good either: "He is not black."

Lu Qingluo said that since he is called Mo, how can he not be dark?

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian asked Shi Hui to drive slower. They carefully looked at the situation in Batou Village, and after leaving Batou Village, they simply got off the car and walked slowly.

"Is there some wealthy family in this village? They are building houses everywhere." Meng Xiangxian was a little surprised.

"The Chen family is probably the richest family in this village," Liang Tian guessed. "It seems it won't be easy to take over Ghost Crying Mountain."

Meng Xiangxian certainly knew it wasn't easy: "You said... Could Master Zhiyu's disappearance be related to the Gao family?"

Liang Tian smiled meaningfully after hearing what Meng Xiangxian said: "I just don't know what kind of person the magistrate of He County is."

"As long as you enter the official career, you either seek wealth or promotion." Meng Xiangxian said confidently.

"Then let's find someone to go and visit him." Liang Tian suggested.

"No rush. First, let's get to know the magistrate. That way, we can cater to his preferences and achieve twice the result with half the effort."
