Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 88 A large number of funerary objects appear

When a customer comes to the store, Manager Qian goes to greet him.

Nanchun went to the backyard, looked around but couldn't find Dali. He then walked to the backyard garden, where there was a narrow path.

He walked along the path and at the end there was a tall iron gate.

"Be careful! Handle it with care, don't be clumsy!"

A powerful voice was faintly heard from inside.

Nanchun walked forward, but was stopped before she reached the door.

"Are you a guest? This is a warehouse and you can't enter." The man looked alert and had a gun on his waist.

Nanchun smiled and said, "Is Dali here? Tell him that the Second Young Mistress is looking for him."

The man looked embarrassed and quickly bowed, saying, "Second Young Madam, I'm not very good at seeing. I'll take you there. Brother Dali is checking the goods in the warehouse."

The man opened the iron gate and walked in with Nanchun.

After entering, Nanchun was stunned. There were rows of huge wooden shelves neatly arranged in the warehouse, and there was no end in sight.

There are a large number of various exquisite porcelains placed on the wooden shelves.

Dali was loading goods with a dozen people. When he saw Nanchun coming, he hurried over.

"Second Young Madam, why are you here? It's not clean here. Let me take you to the side hall for some tea."

"I'm a bit bored and want to walk around. You just keep busy, I'll just take a look." Nan Chun saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work. Since this is our first meeting, I'll give each of you three dollars to buy some drinks."

"Hey, thank you, Second Young Madam!" Dali grinned.

The others also smiled and echoed: "Thank you, Second Young Madam!"

As I walked around Nanchun, I saw that many of the items were imitations of funerary objects.

His grandfather had shown him some of the authentic ones.

Walking to the back of the shelf, he found that there was more than just porcelain.

There are also bronze ware, pottery, stone carvings...

If even these have been imitated, does that mean that a huge number of authentic ones have appeared in the world?

Dali finished his work, wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over.

"Second Young Madam, are you interested in these?"

Nanchun smiled and nodded.

"My question is a bit redundant. The Nan family is good at finding tombs. Old Man Nan knows these things very well and often leads teams to search for tombs and explore tombs. You have been influenced by him, so you must understand it." Dali said with a smile.

"No, no, Grandpa rarely tells me about the tomb search. I... was just a little surprised. I thought there would only be porcelain, but I didn't expect there would be these."

"Actually, there are also gold, silver, jade, calligraphy, paintings, books and so on. Those things are valuable and need to be preserved with extra care, so they are all in the small warehouse." Dali said.

"Are these things custom-made by others?" Nanchun asked.

"Most of it is. We regularly send it to some long-term antique shops, decorative shops, and businesses. The demand in Yangcheng has increased significantly in recent years, so we will supply Yangcheng first."

"Oh? Who wants it in Yangcheng?"

"Mostly there are trading houses. The compradors buy some novel foreign gadgets from foreigners and then sell them back to foreigners. Those blue-eyed people really like these things.

"Second Young Madam, have you ever seen a foreigner? I saw one one year when I was delivering goods in Yangcheng. He had yellow hair, blue eyes, and very white skin. When I first saw him, I thought I saw a ghost!" Dali said with a smile.

"Really? Do they know these are imitations?" Nanchun was playing with a blue and white multicolored jar.

"They should know. How can the genuine products be sold by the box? They are also compradors. They probably sell the products from here and pass them off as genuine products to fool people. We make much more money selling to those foreigners than selling to our own people, so in recent years we have mainly produced for those foreigners." Dali said.

"If this business has great profits... the risks must also be quite high, right?" Nan Chun asked.

"Yes, although there are many companies making imitations now, only our Bai family can make products that are indistinguishable from the real thing. Most of them don't have first-hand information, so they can only imitate our imitations. The quality is much worse.

The situation has been unstable over the past two years, and those looking to make a quick buck are everywhere. Many are targeting us, too. To be cautious, we should learn from the cunning rabbit's three burrows when shipping to Yangcheng, changing routes frequently and setting up more warehouses.

"Oh? Fourth Master Sheng's methods are no longer working?"

Dali whispered, "Hasn't the He'an County Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Sheng family's eldest and second masters? The Sheng family's eldest and second masters intend to have their own way.

The brothers' fight has caused great hardship to these merchants. The head of the family doesn't want to go against the eldest and second masters of the Sheng family, but he also wants to follow the path of the fourth master of the Sheng family. So the section from He'an County has to rely on the Hanjia River for transportation..."

Realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have, Dali quickly covered his mouth and looked at Nanchun somewhat embarrassedly.

Nanchun saw his trembling look and said with a smile, "Where is Aunt Han's family?"

Dali touched his nose and nodded.

No wonder the head of the family is so anxious to let the eldest daughter of the Han family marry into the family.

Nanchun stuffed a few dollars into Dali's pocket and said with a smile, "This is extra for you! I wonder if there's any news about Bai Xun?"

"The second young master hasn't sent any news back, but the eldest young master sent a telegram a while ago. He said that things are very busy in Yangcheng, and he and the second young master can't return to He'an for the time being."

On the way back to the villa, Nanchun was full of worries.

If such a large number of funerary objects have been discovered, and if most of them are photos and drawings provided by Yangcheng, then someone in Yangcheng must be organizing a large-scale tomb robbery.

Nanchun thought of the jade pendant his grandfather gave him.

Grandpa didn't seem surprised that something might happen to him, and he even made arrangements early on.

Just like Dali said, his grandfather is good at this, and there are huge benefits hidden in this.

So, could my grandfather’s disappearance in the previous life be related to the Bai family’s business and the tomb-robbing gang in Yangcheng?

After returning to the villa, Nanchun took out the jade pendant from the cabinet.

There is a dragon engraved on the jade pendant.

The material is very common, not a rare one.

The carving craftsmanship is also average, like what you can see everywhere in jade shops.

"Based on this thing, can Fourth Master Sheng really recognize it?"

He sat by the window facing the sunlight and looked carefully.

"Second Young Madam, have some pears! They're so sweet!" Jindou came over with a fruit plate. "Oh, they're so beautiful. What's engraved on them?"

His eyes fell on the jade pendant in Nanchun's hand.

"Dragon." Nanchun put the jade pendant away.

"Dragon? How many claws does a dragon have? I've seen three-clawed ones, and I've also seen four and five-clawed ones." Jindou was puzzled.

“They both have it, but the Five Claws is the Emperor… Five Claws…” Nanchun was slightly startled, “Jindou, you go down first, I want to rest for a while.”

"Hey, eat the pear first and then rest."

"Ah."

After Jindou left, Nanchun took out the jade pendant again.

As expected, the fifth claw hidden underneath was not a carving, but an impurity originally present in the jade. The craftsman cleverly used the shadow effect to transform that spot into a claw hidden behind.

This should be the key to distinguishing the authenticity of jade pendants.
