Hearing the other party's question, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "You should be Grandma Jiang's son, right? My surname is Ye. My father and your father are old acquaintances. Let me come over and take a look at Grandma Jiang."
The other party asked in surprise: "Do you recognize my old man?"
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
At this time, an old lady slowly walked out from under the hut where she was cooking. She looked at Ye Chen with some confusion, frowned and asked, "Young man, do you know my husband?"
Ye Chen said: "You must be Grandma Jiang, my father knows your husband."
The old lady hesitated for a moment and said quickly: "Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"
After saying that, he said to his son: "Yao'er, please quickly invite the guest into the house and pour water for the guest."
The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward, opened the door, and said politely: "You two, please come in quickly and sit inside!"
Ye Chen nodded, thanked him, and then entered the courtyard with Chen Zekai.
This small courtyard is not too big, only a few dozen square meters. There are three wooden houses, two thatched sheds, one on the left and one on the right. One has no shelter, only a thatched roof, and the bottom is made of earth.
The stove is built next to the wall, and the other is covered by a circle. It is not large and looks like a toilet.
The three wooden rooms are directly opposite the gate. The main room in the middle has a wide open door. There is a room on the left and right inside. The doors of the rooms are covered with curtains.
Ye Chen and Chen Zekai followed the middle-aged man into the main room. In the middle of the room, against the wall, was a slender altar table. The altar table was dark and the material could not be seen, but it could be seen from the color of the paste that this
It's definitely a very old object.
Above the altar table, there are incense burners and multiple tablets, with the names written on them all bearing the surname Jiang.
On the wall above the altar, three Chinese-style portraits hang.
The portrait in the center is of a middle-aged man wearing a green gown. Although the man is skinny, he is strong and strong. He stands on a boulder on the top of a mountain with his hands behind his back. His long beard and clothes are hanging with him.
The wind was blowing, and the old man looked up at the sky, his expression full of pride and ambition;
On the left side of the portrait, there is a seven or eight-year-old child sitting cross-legged at a stone table on the top of the mountain, reading a book; on the right side, there is a portrait of an old man sitting upright.
Ye Chen had come into contact with antiques, and he could tell that these paintings were all ancient paintings, and they were quite old.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although I don't know if these three paintings are by famous ancient artists, but just looking at the exquisite painting craftsmanship and unique charm, I can conclude that they are not ordinary products. If they are put on the market, they will not be sold for more.
I mean, it should cost at least hundreds of thousands for one painting, and it should be easy to sell three paintings for one million."
"One million is not a small amount for ordinary people. Since the three paintings hanging in the old lady's home are of such value, why was her son deceived into going to Mexico on the pretext of being a sailor? Even the mother and son almost died there
A foreign country..."
At this point, Ye Chen had more questions in his mind.
However, he can also see from this that his guess yesterday was correct. Although the old lady is living in poverty now, her family has been inherited in an orderly manner for more than a thousand years, and her family background is definitely extraordinary!
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at these two well-dressed young people, somewhat nervous and embarrassed. He pointed at the low wooden table and wooden stool in the middle of the hall, and said with some embarrassment: "Please sit down, please.
, I’m really sorry. The conditions at home are poor and I’ve wronged you two. I’ll go get you some water right away.”
Ye Chen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite, we are not thirsty."
While talking, Mrs. Jiang washed her hands, ignoring the drops of water on her hands, and trotted in quickly, saying with some fear: "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat quickly. Our family is poor and we can't live in a decent way."
They don’t even have a good chair to sit on, it’s really a grievance for you two!”
Ye Chen said respectfully: "Grandma Jiang, please sit down first!"
Old Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and sat down in front of Ye Chen. She looked at Ye Chen kindly and asked curiously: "Young man, you said your old man recognizes my husband, but you don't know your old man."
What do you call it?"
Ye Chen didn't know how to answer for a while.
In fact, his previous idea was very simple. After finding the old lady, he gave her a rejuvenation pill on the pretext that she was the son of her husband's old friend, and then told her that he had bought a house and facade for her and her son in Shudu, and brought them together.
Please settle down in the capital of Shu.
If she doubts her identity or is unwilling to accept it, she has her own way, which is psychological suggestion.
At that time, through psychological suggestion, let them fully accept what he said and accept the property and funds donated by him with peace of mind. In this way, he will be able to escape unscathed.
However, from the current situation, it was obvious that this old lady seemed to be anything but ordinary. Ye Chen wanted to know more about it, but if he asked the old lady questions and had to use a simple and crude way of psychological suggestion, he would
He really felt a little sorry, so now he didn't know what to do.
The old lady seemed to see Ye Chen's embarrassment and entanglement, so she said to her son: "Yao'er, while it's still dark, take your crossbow and go outside to hunt a pheasant and come back. There are distinguished guests at home today.
, always kill a chicken to entertain."
The middle-aged man nodded without thinking and said, "Yes, mother, please entertain the guests first, and I'll go out right away."
The middle-aged man said, took a homemade crossbow from behind the door, and then quickly walked out of the house.
Ye Chen could tell that the old lady wanted to get her son away first, so she didn't say anything.
Chen Zekai was a little surprised and asked her: "Grandma
