When Lu Guansheng arrived at Qian's house, the housekeeper led him to the backyard.

The backyard is really lively today!

Because Lu Guansheng said he wanted to eat mutton, Qian Jiujin built a bonfire in the backyard in the middle of winter and roasted half a whole lamb.

The two younger children in the family gathered around the fire to keep warm, waiting for their brother to give them some meat.

My aunt had a quilt covering her legs and patiently answered the two children's questions.

A group of servants were busy running around, and the house was full of joy.

"Big brother is here!" The youngest child was only a little over ten years old.

Qian Jiujin had always wanted a daughter, and when he was almost fifty, he finally had one, and he doted on her immensely! He had two sons, the eldest was about the same age as Lu Guansheng, and the youngest was fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Are you happy today, little princess?" Lu Guansheng was led to the grill by the little girl who came up to him.

"Yes! I like mutton the best! I also like barbecue! Dad said that big brother wanted to eat it, so we got to enjoy it!" The little girl said innocently, "Big brother, please come more often in the future!"

"Okay! Next time, tell your brother what you want to eat in advance, and I'll ask your father to make it?" Lawrence Lu winked at her.

"Make a pinky promise!" The little girl smiled like a flower.

"Guan Sheng! Don't spoil her!" Qian Jiujin walked over, heard their conversation, and smiled.

But having said that, he actually doted on his youngest daughter the most, and there was no sign of objection on his face.

"Brother, tell me another story!" The little girl was very interested in listening to Lu Guansheng's adventure stories last time, and she wanted to listen again this time.

"I want to listen too!" The second brother is also a fan of stories.

"Let your brother tell you later. Daddy wants to talk to him first, okay? Be good!" Qian Jiujin knew that once he started telling the story, there would be no end to it.

"Then Daddy promises it!" The little girl held up three fingers, and only after Qian Jiujin did as she was told did she reluctantly let him go.

Children are children, and soon her attention was drawn to the cake again.

It would take some time to roast the whole lamb, so Lu Guansheng followed Qian Jiujin to the study.

"Guansheng! There was an excavation project a few days ago, but it seemed to be suspended due to lack of technology. The person in charge of that project is an old friend of mine. I heard that you have excavated treasures that others cannot dig up, so I want your help." Qian Jiujin explained the purpose of Lu Guansheng's coming here.

"What's in it for you?" Lu Guansheng knew that Qian Jiujin would not help for free.

"You little bastard!" Qian Jiujin pointed at Lu Guansheng and continued, "I can display a few items at the museum as compensation, as long as they are not sold abroad!"

"Then what's in it for me?" Lu Guansheng acted like a scoundrel again.

"You dig! I'll just treat these as if I bought them from you, how about that?"

"What are they going to dig? What is the reason for the suspension?" Lu Guansheng asked this, indicating that he agreed to this condition.

"They wanted to dig up Cixi's tomb," Qian Jiujin said. "It's a pity that after they dug up one or two pieces, they carbonized the next day and became waste!"

"No way? So lacking in common sense?" Lawrence Lu felt drunk!

Even a semi-expert like him knew that anything dug out of a confined space, if suddenly exposed to oxygen, would fade, oxidize, or even carbonize overnight. These experts were being too careless!

"Isn't it? He was punished!" Qian Jiujin shook his head. "That friend was afraid that if he made another mistake, he would be implicated and his career would be in jeopardy! But he had no choice but to dig him up. He had guaranteed a promotion thanks to this project! That's why he came to me!"

"However, wasn't Cixi's tomb dug up in the 1920s?" Lu Guansheng was referring to a tomb robbery during the Republic of China period.

There were many versions of the story at the time, some saying that Cixi looked like a 20-year-old woman. What a joke, Cixi was already an old lady when she died. Even if she was dug up and well-preserved, she should still look like an old lady, right?

Others said that when Mr. Sun saw that Cixi's face was still the same, his men thought that Cixi was probably not dead yet, so they were scared and dared not to dig anymore.

But no matter what history says, none of these recorded treasures have ever appeared, which is interesting!

"It is said that the tomb dug out that year was a fake one, to deceive people! This time it seems that we have found the real tomb!" Qian Jiujin explained.

"A real tomb? I can dig it, but I only have one set of equipment, and it's industry secrets! So no outsiders are allowed to visit." Lu Guansheng left himself an advantage. "As long as you promise me this, I'll take it."

"This... seems like it won't pass the security inspection!" Qian Jiujin felt a little embarrassed.

"They can monitor the tomb 24 hours a day, as long as they don't go underground." Lu Guansheng took a step back.

"Okay! I'll discuss it with him. He just wants to ensure that there are a lot of items. Please understand the helplessness of the person in power!" Qian Jiujin said with a hint of apology.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Lu Guansheng, but no one in the relevant department can be trusted easily.

Lu Guansheng didn't care. As long as he could get the money and no one could discover his secret, it was fine.

"I have to get 10 billion! Is that okay?" After Lu Guansheng finished speaking, he started bargaining.

"Not many, not many! There are only a few of Cixi's treasures!" Qian Jiujin saw that the time was almost up, so he and Lu Guansheng returned to the backyard.

Sure enough, after dinner, Lu Guansheng was pulled to the campfire and told stories to the two children all night long until the little girl fell asleep.

After Lu Guansheng left, Mrs. Qian nudged Qian Jiujin's arm and said, "Your nephew, let him come over often? I'll be so relaxed!"

Mrs. Qian, who was in her early fifties, felt she was having trouble handling these two little ones! The children were so eager to learn, and their questions were so bizarre that even a wealthy lady like her couldn't answer them!
