The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Have the three young masters and ladies come to have their fortunes told?"

Upon seeing a customer, the young waiter immediately bowed and came forward to greet him.

The seventh girl didn't speak, but simply took out six coins from her handbag and placed them on the divination table.

Upon seeing the Seventh Miss's actions, the shopkeeper's expression hardened, and he nodded respectfully, saying:

"Please follow me, all three of you."

The waiter led the three into the incense hall, and after passing through a long corridor, the three arrived at an inner hall.

The inner hall is extremely large, divided into multiple levels; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the main hall.

The inner hall on the first floor contained a large number of wooden shelves and tables, on which were displayed all kinds of gold and jade funerary objects.

"nice."

After scanning the area, Fang Yun nodded in admiration.

The funerary objects here can all be considered treasures, and they are indeed all genuine.

They are just a bit young, and are mostly funerary objects from the Tang Dynasty onwards, with the majority dating from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.

However, the most common items circulating in the market are funerary objects from these periods. There is no one else like him who carries countless treasures from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties.

Moreover, these funerary objects are all labeled and clearly priced.

Overall, Qi Tiezui is a fairly conscientious businessman, probably because he's afraid of incurring bad luck or being associated with taboos.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the shop assistant immediately smiled and gave Fang Yun a thumbs up.

"Young Master has excellent taste. The goods from the Qi family are all top-quality."

"The front is decorated with gold and jade, and the back with bronze and porcelain. If the young master wants some rare calligraphy, paintings, ironwood or other decorative items, there is a small hall in the back."

"Since you've found the Qi family, young master, you must already know our family's rules. Our Qi family's goods are absolutely genuine."

Halfway through his sentence, the incense shop assistant showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"But if you came to deliver a divination for Eighth Master, it may not be possible today. Eighth Master has gone out on business today, and we don't know when he will be back."

Qijia Xiangtang is like that; out of ten people who come to buy goods, eight of them are there to ask for divination.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun smiled and waved his hand.

"It's alright. I've come here to choose two medicine furnaces. Lead the way."

"Alright, please follow me, you three!"

Hearing Fang Yun's words, the smile on the shop assistant's face grew even wider.

These young people don't care about fortune telling or destiny at all.

Moreover, rich kids don't ask about prices or haggle when they buy things; they basically just buy whatever catches their eye, and they probably only buy things out of curiosity.

Now I can get another reward!

The incense shop assistant laughed more and more heartily, and became increasingly respectful to Fang Yun and the other two, quickly leading them to the back hall.

On a shelf against an iron wall in the back hall, there were a dozen or so small stoves and tripods, some as big as a cartwheel, others only the size of a human head.

"Young master, all the furnaces are here."

The incense shop assistant bowed to Fang Yun and began to introduce the business.

"Young master, you can rest assured that all the goods in our Qi family are clean. There are no sacrificial vessels, blood vessels, or personal burial objects. You can play with them with peace of mind."

"it is good."

Fang Yun nodded, took two steps forward, and began to look at the iron frame.

Qi Tiezui is really cautious; he doesn't accept any risky items. Everything in the hall is very clean, so he hasn't brought out any dirt from the ground.

He just wanted to buy a small stove to practice with, so his requirements weren't very high.

I picked out a small bronze stove with three legs and three openings. This stove was about the size of a human head, making it very suitable for carrying and storing.

"That's it."

"Young master has a good eye. This is an antique from the Ming Dynasty, and it's said to have been in the palace back then..."

When Fang Yun took a fancy to a small incense burner, the incense shop assistant's eyes lit up immediately.

As the shopkeeper explained the origin of the small stove to Fang Yun, both the Seventh Sister and Hua, who were looking at the shelves nearby, laughed.

Help the tomb raiders assess their work?

It's really like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu...

Fang Yun found it somewhat amusing, waved to stop the waiter, took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, counted out six thousand, and handed them to him.

Seeing Fang Yun's straightforwardness, the waiter's gaze toward Fang Yun became even more ardent.

"Is there anything else you'd like to buy, young master?"

"This inner hall has everything you could want. Young master, just tell me what you'd like."

"By the way, we recently received a new shipment, including some high-quality women's jewelry..."

As he spoke, the man gave 527 Yun a look and glanced at Hua and Seventh Sister.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and asked Hua and the Seventh Sister:

"Flower, Seventh Sister, do you have anything you like? If you do, please take it."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper was thrilled and was about to introduce the items to Hua and the Seventh Sister.

But before he could speak, both Hua and the Seventh Sister shook their heads in unison.

Upon seeing this, the incense shop assistant froze and looked at Fang Yun.

These two women are suspicious!

When wealthy men bring women to the store, the women usually beg the men to buy them one or two precious items.

What's changed today?

But it doesn't matter, if the woman is acting strange, then the man has to be right.

Men care about their image, especially young men. They'll buy women things just to save face.

Under the expectant gazes of the incense shop assistants, Fang Yun nodded to Hua and the Seventh Sister, "Then let's go back, it's getting late."

Hua has never been interested in the funerary objects in tombs. The only thing that interests her is the jade burial suit with peacock feathers that she obtained from the tomb of King Xian.

As for the Seventh Sister... her family is in this business, so naturally she wouldn't let other families make money from it.

Without dawdling, Fang Yun found a brocade box, put the small alchemy furnace inside, and then led Hua and the Seventh Miss out of the hall.

Watching the three figures depart, the servant in the incense hall glanced at the silver notes in his hand, shook his head, and sighed.

"With this kind of skill... you think you can win over a woman?"

"Young man, you're too naive. If a woman says no, she means yes. If you have money, you should spend more."

Chapter 172 The Beginning of the Mine!

As Fang Yun and his two companions returned to the Changsha Hotel.

A car drove into the Zhang family mansion and stopped at the entrance of the warehouse.

Seeing the car stop, Qi Tiezui and Huo Sanniang's eyes flashed with a sharp light as they went to meet it.

Zhang Qishan is back!

Earlier, Fang Yun told them that there was something in the old zongzi's throat, and after they cut the zongzi open, they did indeed find something.

There are two things hidden in the throat and inside the belly of that zongzi.

The first thing was a piece of dragon bone.

The dragon bones were not the common tortoise shells or dragon bones, but rather the bones of a strange animal. They were only called dragon bones because they were engraved with symbols that resembled dragon bones.

The symbols were not ancient script; they looked like some kind of coded markings, but they were so worn that their exact appearance was no longer discernible.

As for the second item, they had all seen something similar before!

It was a thimble.

Thimbles are a common item. These days, when people are making embroidery or shoes, most people wear a thimble on their finger to avoid getting pricked by the needle.

However, there was something wrong with the design of the thimble; it was engraved with azaleas.

Azaleas hold an extremely special place in the Nine Gates of Changsha.

Flowers bloom in January and turn red in February; the red flowers bloom in February but have no parents.

The azalea is the flower known as the "February Red," which represents the Hong family among the Nine Gates and is something only the Hong family can use.

Originally, the official flower of the Red Mansion was the red daffodil, but later, because the red daffodil was too flashy, the Red Mansion changed the official flower to the azalea.

Today, the inner courtyard of the Red Mansion is planted with red daffodils, while the outer courtyard is planted with azaleas—this is common knowledge in Changsha.

Now, they've actually found the Hong family's keepsake inside the rice dumpling...

This matter can be viewed as a big deal or a small deal. On the one hand, it could be seen as stealing business from the other party; on the other hand, it could be seen as business coming to them on its own.
