Chapter 417

No one could sleep next, and Chen Lianghui and Jinning exchanged information in their dreams.

Except for the scene of the jujube tree, the others are different.

Chen Lianghui said that he saw his father riding a horse, his mother dressing up, and then he saw them under the jujube tree.

No matter what, the two dreamed that their parents were under the jujube tree together, which was to convey a meaning to them.

The next day, Jin Ning asked Lei Hong to return to Beijing first and secretly asked the Feng Shui master to choose a treasure land, but he had to hide this from his grandmother.

As for going back to bury, I will ask my grandfather to take my grandmother away for two days before I can go back after the burial is completed.

Anyway, my grandmother is not far away now, so she will definitely not be able to go to the cemetery.

As for the Chen clan, the result of the negotiation last night was that if Jinning sold the mountain for one thousand taels of silver, the Chen clan could barely get it.

One thousand taels, twelve are considered to be OK.

Because when Zhen Yi bought it, she only spent 2,660 silver.

Selling it to people in the clan is cheaper, which is also considered as her filial piety.

Therefore, before the government office and Eunuch Luo arrived, Chen Changsheng came over and invited Jinning and others to talk.

Jinning, Jingting, Chen Lianghui and the other two went over. This time, she still couldn't enter the ancestral hall and the conversation was placed in the yard.

The wind was strong, and a slight cold rain came. Although I put down a chair, I did not hide the rain.

And they sat in front of the porch, and the wind and rain could not invade.

Seeing this situation, Jinning said coldly: "If you want to talk, let's come out here to talk. Why do you want to get wet here in the rain?"

"The Twelve Dukes are old and cannot be wet with rain!" Chen Changshou said.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to talk!" Jingting said lightly, pulling Jinning and leaving.

"Slow down!" The twelve men reached out and pressed, stood up and told the people around them, "Move the chair out!"

"Twelve Dukes, this is so cold, it's not good to get wet with rain." Chen Changshou said.

"It's not a big deal, let's deal with the matter first." The twelve master said lightly, and walked out with a cigarette puff.

Chen Changshou had to let someone move the chair out. The Twelve Duke sat down and looked up at Jingting and Jinning, "You guys sit too!"

The people in the clan also arrived slowly, and Chen Shoucheng, Chen Fugui and others also arrived. The weather was cold, so they tried their best to squeeze into the crowd.

The Twelve Public Prompts Instructions Chen Fugui to speak.

Chen Fugui walked out and looked at Jinning and said, "We have discussed it. Since you want to sell the ancestral grave, we will buy it and we will pay a thousand taels of silver."

Jinning was unambiguous, "Ten thousand taels, no less than a penny!"

Chen Fugui was furious, "Ten thousand taels? Are you robbing? This is a desolate mountain. When your mother bought it, it only cost more than two thousand taels. You just need ten thousand taels when you open your mouth. You might as well grab it."

"It used to be a barren mountain, but now it's not. Now everyone knows that it is a Feng Shui treasure land. A first-grade man has appeared, and I, the princess. If I don't say that I have too much, I will offer a price of 100,000 taels. Someone will buy it. Do you believe it?"

"Where is the ancestral tomb of our Chen family? If you sell the mountain, wouldn't it be like selling all the ancestral tombs? You are so ruthless, do you know? For the sake of 100,000 taels of silver, you even sold your ancestors. If it spreads, will your father still have the face? We shouldn't have paid for you, but we care about the affection of our relatives and paying for you this thousand taels of silver, which is considered to be the end of our kindness." Chen Fugui said with a harsh and timid look on his face.

Jinning smiled coldly, "My father has lost all his family, so why do you say face? Living people pay attention to face. The Chen family's ancestors' tomb is gone. It is your incompetence in being your descendants. What do you blame my father for doing? If my mother had not bought the money to buy this mountain, where did the so-called ancestors' tomb come from? Now that my parents have died, they cannot enter this ancestors' tomb, which means that you would not have considered him a descendant of the Chen family. If that is the case, why would my father be embarrassed? Why should I take advantage of you? Don't be kind to me. I sell the mountain tomb, and do everything according to the rules of the businessmen. If you think this mountain is not worth ten thousand taels, okay, I have another buyer."

"Thirty thousand taels, I bought it!"

A loud business sounded at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and a middle-aged man in fox fur walked in. He was thin but had bright eyes. He followed two servants and came in swaggeringly.

When Chen Fugui saw him, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Oh, it turns out it's Boss Zhang. Oh, don't make trouble. It's all because my niece is ignorant."

The person who came was Zhang Dongjia, a large merchant in Huozhou. Chen Fugui had dealt with him several times, but he thought he was very familiar with him.

Zhang Dongjia didn't look at him directly, and when he came over, he bowed to Jingting, "General, I heard that you came to Huozhou and I have always wanted to visit you, but you came back from a funeral. I was afraid of delaying you, so I didn't dare to come. Last night you invited me to come to the ancestral hall today, but I couldn't ask for it."

He was a wealthy businessman in Huozhou. He said yesterday that he would invite famous gentry and scholars, and he was one of them.

Jingting quickly bowed and returned the gift, "You are welcome to be polite to Zhang Dongjia. I will work hard today. I have lost the welcome!"

Zhang Dongjia said generously: "Don't be polite. We have heard about the things the Chen family has done for a long time, but it is not convenient to ask about your family affairs. Since the general and the princess invited us to reason about it today, let's talk about this truth!"

After saying that, he came forward to pay homage to Jinning, "See Princess!"

Jin Ning returned the gift, "Uncle Zhang doesn't have to be too polite."

The words "Uncle Zhang" made Zhang Dong's family feel so comfortable.

After the Zhang Dong family came, several wealthy businessmen and two old masters came. These two old masters were both masters in Huozhou Academy. They read books of sages and taught moral articles. Therefore, the Chen family seemed particularly excited about the arrival of them, because the two masters would never agree to the sale of the tombs of their ancestors.

Next, Lord Lu, the prefect of Huozhou, also arrived. It was the first time he had been involved in the family affairs of the people, but this was not an ordinary person, a princess, a princess, and a general.

Therefore, his attitude was very cautious and humble.

The last one was Eunuch Luo, who was invited by Ke Ling Keli, and they also invited them together with the two Imperial Guards.

Zhang Dongjia was a cheerful person and said, "What? Is it so cold today to speak in this yard with drizzle?

Lei Hong said on the side: "I want to go in, but they said that the princess and the general are not qualified to enter the ancestral hall and are not allowed to go in."

"That's strange. Is the princess a member of the Chen family? Are women allowed to enter the Chen family's ancestral hall? I haven't seen the four words "Wai Ding serves." Zhang Dongjia said.

Seeing that so many people were standing in the yard, it was indeed not suitable, and said, "It is indeed inappropriate. So please go to the side room to talk."

On the left and right sides of the ancestral hall, there is an ear room and a side house lobby. Usually, children from the clan get married, so they hold banquets in this side house lobby, with complete tables and chairs.
