Chapter 12 Dealing with Copper Coins
Zhong Nian Yao didn't care what the stall owner thought. After getting what she wanted, she didn't stay long and quickly took a bus back to the Zhong family.
It was only afternoon, so when she returned to the Zhong family's house, no one was there. She went straight upstairs and planned to return to her room.
However, just as he reached the second floor, he ran into Zhong Jinghao who was about to go downstairs at the stairs.
Obviously, Zhong Jinghao hadn't expected to run into Zhong Nianyao at home at this time. He was stunned for a moment, then a warm smile appeared on his face. "Nianyao, why are you home at this time? Don't you have classes today?"
His gentle attitude makes him look like a real brother, not a cousin.
However, everyone in the Zhong family knew that although Zhong Jinghao was the eldest son of the Zhong family and the only male of this generation, he had a very good personality and was very kind to his younger sisters. He even treated his two cousins with the same attitude as he would his own sisters.
Most importantly, he not only has a good personality, but also outstanding abilities. After graduating from university, he joined the Zhong family's company, starting from the grassroots level. In just a few years, he has now been promoted to the top of the company.
Looking at the perfect smile on Zhong Jinghao's face, Zhong Nianyao looked indifferent and just nodded lightly, "Something happened, so I came back."
After saying that, he walked around Zhong Jinghao and returned to his room.
Zhong Jinghao wanted to say something, but was obviously ignored by Zhong Nianyao.
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's back as she left without hesitation, the smile on Zhong Jinghao's face remained unchanged, with a hint of helplessness in his expression.
When the servants in the house saw this, they couldn't help but sigh, the eldest young master is really a good brother!
Zhong Jinghao shook his head helplessly and went downstairs. However, in a place where no one noticed, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
Zhong Nianyao returned to her room and casually threw the painting into the trash can. Afterwards, she untied the strings of copper coins and placed them one by one on the table.
The copper coin was so dirty that it was covered with patina and its original appearance was almost unrecognizable.
Zhong Nianyao looked at the copper coins on the table, but she was smiling, and she kept sighing, "I didn't expect that today's harvest would be so great!"
However, dealing with these copper coins is not easy.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Nianyao stood up, rummaged around the room, and pulled out a stack of yellow paper and a box of cinnabar. She closed her eyes, holding the brush in her hand, but made no movement.
Suddenly, her eyes opened, and countless stars seemed to bloom in those beautiful pupils. In that instant, her hands began to move. The brush, dipped in cinnabar, began to draw directly on the yellow paper.
When the last stroke was made, the pattern on the talisman paper seemed to come alive and flickered. Then, everything returned to calm.
Looking at her work, Zhong Nianyao was very satisfied, muttering, "It's not bad. Although I changed my body, my skills are still there. However, this body is still a little weak. It seems that I still need to practice more in the future."
Zhong Nian Yao then picked up the talisman paper and waved it upwards.
If anyone was here, they would definitely be shocked, because after the talisman paper was thrown up, it spontaneously combusted in the air without any fire.
Zhong Nian Yao didn't hesitate at all. She quickly picked up the copper coins on the table and threw them directly towards the burning flames on the talisman paper.
In just a moment, the copper coin fell onto the table again. However, what was shocking was that the copper coin, which had almost no original appearance, now became brand new and smooth again, as if it had just been minted.
A gust of wind blew in from the window, and the traces left by the burning talisman paper were immediately blown away by the wind.
There was not a single trace left in the room, as if what had just happened was an illusion.
Zhong Nianyao's eyes couldn't help but sparkle as she looked at the copper coin that had become shiny again.
This wasn't just any copper coin, but one that King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, had used for divination. She had recognized it when she saw it at the stall just now.
The book "The Book of Changes" was written by King Wen of Zhou. One can imagine how precious the copper coins he used for divination were.
As expected, when I feel sleepy, someone will give me a pillow.
but--
Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but sigh.
She was naturally happy to receive these coins. Fortune-telling requires not only coins but also tortoise shells. Of course, the shells from older tortoises are the best.
It seems that she still needs to find time to go to that street again to see if she can find a suitable turtle shell.
