A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Ever since Su Qingyu mentioned the Su family cemetery, Old Madam Su has been thinking about it.

I had been wanting to discuss this with the Lin family before the New Year, but Lin Wuchen was either doing disaster relief or doing year-end accounting, and had no time to discuss this matter.

After the New Year was finally over, the old lady sent someone to see Lin Wuchen again, hoping to find a time to talk about this matter.

Of course, it’s nothing more than negotiating the price of buying that hill.

The old lady was afraid that the Lin family would ask for an exorbitant price, but she still had to negotiate.

As for relocating the graves, the Su family had thought about it, but it was not easy.

When the Su family moved their ancestral tomb here fifteen years ago, the remains of all the ancestors were moved here together. If the tombs were moved, how many ancestors would be disturbed?

There is also this cemetery, which was personally checked by the old man of the Su family. He said it was a Feng Shui treasure land. The old man of the Su family was well versed in the theory of Zhouyi numerology. If he said it was a Feng Shui treasure land, then it must be correct.

If I look for another place, will it be as good as the current place?

So after thinking about it, I realized that this matter cannot be avoided by the Lin family.

She was afraid that Lin Wuchen would hold a grudge against the Su family and ask for money. So after setting a time with Lin Wuchen, Old Lady Su sent someone to invite Su Qingyu.

After Su Qingyu got the news, she went to see Lin Wuchen, and the two talked for half an hour.

Early in the morning on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Su Qingyu and Lin Wuchen entered the Su family one after another.

Due to the old lady's health condition, this matter can only be discussed in the inner room of Songhe Hall.

In addition to the old lady, the people present included the three brothers of the Su family, Su Yuanqing, Su Qingyu and Lin Wuchen.

Although the two families were unhappy at the time, Lin Wuchen still performed the etiquette of a junior after entering.

Su Chengxun had a very good impression of Lin Wuchen and exchanged a few words with him in a gentle manner.

Su Chengye and Su Chengyan's expressions were not very friendly. Both of them had suffered at the hands of Lin Wuchen, and they secretly cursed Lin Wuchen in their hearts as a little fox.

They would rather talk to the two masters of the Lin family than to Lin Wuchen.

But there is no way. Now all matters concerning the Lin family in the capital are under the full authority of Lin Wuchen.

After everyone sat down according to the age of the host and the guests, Su Chengye spoke first.

"Wu Chen, I asked you to come here today to discuss the purchase of the mountain outside Beijing."

"I remember your father bought it for three thousand taels of silver, right? We'll pay the three thousand taels of silver. When are we going to the government office to sign the documents?"

Su Chengye relied on being Lin Wuchen's uncle for twenty years, so he spoke casually and made decisions for Lin Wuchen on his own.

Lin Wuchen put down the teacup in his hand and chuckled, "Three thousand taels? Is Lord Su robbing you?"

Su Chengye's expression froze, "How can you say it's robbery? The Lin family spent three thousand taels, and I give you three thousand taels, what's wrong with that?"

Lin Wuchen looked at Su Chengye inexplicably, "If Lord Su wants to settle accounts like this, then there is no need to talk anymore."

With that said, he stood up and left.

Su Chengxun hurriedly stopped the man helplessly, "Wu Chen, please stay. We all know that the price of that mountain has increased. Name a price and we can discuss it."

He thought to himself that his elder brother really took Lin Wuchen for a fool. No matter who owned the mountain, it was impossible for him to sell it for three thousand taels of silver.

The Lin family bought it cheaply because they had good vision and good fortune, but that was not a reason for the Su family to take advantage.

Lin Wuchen smiled and said, "Since Third Uncle said that, it's not easy for me to leave."

"Since Third Uncle has asked, I will speak frankly."

"Everyone knows about that mountain. The Lin family bought it 20 years ago. The original intention was to give it as a dowry to my aunt, but my aunt thought the dowry was too much and refused to take it."

"Later, the old man of the Su family valued the mountain and moved the ancestral tomb there. At that time, my father thought that when my aunt gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Su family, the mountain would be a perfect gift for the child, and that's what he told the old man."

"Three years ago, wild ginseng was discovered deep in that mountain. Although the year is not high, the quantity is not small. In recent years, the Lin family has been able to harvest a lot of wild ginseng every year, which is also a considerable income."

As he spoke, Lin Wuchen took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Su Chengxun.

"Uncle San, please take a look. This is the account of the Lin family's wild ginseng sales last year. Last year, the Lin family did not do much mining, but still made 10,000 taels of silver from the wild ginseng."

"The Su family wants to buy this mountain with three thousand taels of silver. What's the difference between that and robbing money?"

Su Chengxun took the account book and started to read it. He knew that there was wild ginseng in the mountain of the Lin family, but he really didn't know how much silver it could produce in a year.

As for the authenticity of the account book, Su Chengxun had no doubt. Lin Wuchen would not resort to such despicable means for such a small amount of money.

The other members of the Su family looked at each other and were shocked by Lin Wuchen's calculations.

The old lady looked at Su Qingyu, "Is what he said true? Did it really sell for 10,000 taels of silver last year?"

Su Qingyu nodded. In fact, the profit of 10,000 taels was a drop in the bucket compared to the Lin family's annual income.

However, the income of 10,000 taels of silver can accurately estimate the current value of the mountain.

The old lady looked at Lin Wuchen, "How much silver do you want to sell it for? There must be a number, right?"

Lin Wuchen stretched out two fingers and shook them.

The old lady looked surprised, "Twenty thousand taels?"

If it is 20,000 taels, I can still get it together. Then I can sell wild ginseng for two years and get the money back.

Thinking of this, the old lady was also tempted and decided to agree to this sky-high price.

Lin Wuchen shook his head, "Two hundred thousand taels."

The words "two hundred thousand taels" made everyone in the Su family gasp.

Su Qingyu didn't react much, because this number was discussed by them together.

Madam Su couldn't help but said loudly, "Two hundred thousand taels? Are you crazy about silver?"

"What's produced on your mountain is wild ginseng, not gold."

Lin Wuchen said calmly, "If it were gold, it wouldn't be this price."

"You all know that my price is not high. Even if it takes you 20 years to get your money back, you still got a mountain for free."

"If this mountain produces nothing, wouldn't you have to spend money to buy it?"

"Forget it, I won't say any more. I was reluctant to sell it in the first place. If it weren't for my cousin, I wouldn't have come today."

Su Chengxun knew clearly that what Lin Wuchen said was very true. As long as the Lin family agreed to sell it, there would be plenty of people who would buy it for 200,000 taels of silver.

But the problem is not whether the Su family thinks it is too expensive, but that they simply cannot afford it.

Even if the family sold everything they had, they couldn't come up with 200,000 taels of silver.

Lin Wuchen sat calmly and continued to drink tea. He knew that this deal would not be successful. He asked for 200,000 taels because he did not intend to sell it to the Su family at all.

This mountain is to be given to the Su family. Whether it is sold or given, we have to wait for Li Yunzhou to come back.

The old lady thought about it and her eyes fell on Su Qingyu.

"Qingyu, why don't you pay for the money? Just consider it as your filial piety to the ancestors of the Su family."
