Hearing this, the woman looked at Leng Xuan for a few times, and then asked, "Sir, your surname is Leng?" Leng Xuan nodded and said, "Yes."
The woman smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Leng, please come with me."
Nodding, without saying a word, Leng Xuan followed the woman to the second floor of the teahouse and came to an elegant private room. "Mr. Leng, please sit down. Uncle Shui will be here shortly." Leng Xuan responded.
, it seemed that Uncle Shui in her mouth was the person she wanted to see today. Just as the tea bottomed out, the wooden door of the private room was pushed open from the outside. Leng Xuan turned his head, and a gray-haired old man appeared.
In his eyes, the old man was almost eighty years old, but his face was red and did not look old. Seeing the other party coming in, Leng Xuan immediately stood up. The old man looked at Leng Xuan and said with a smile:
"Are you Leng Xuan? Sit down."
When the two of them sat down, the old man said: "My name is Shui Yan, just call me Uncle Shui. Mr. Leng, I wonder what you want to see me for?" Leng Xuan said: "Uncle Shui, it's like this. I
I would like to ask, is the thing I bought an ancestral heirloom of your family?" Shui Yan looked surprised and asked, "How do you know?" Leng Xuan smiled and said, "Don't ask me how.
Yes. I want to know, how much do you know about the deeds of your ancestors?" Shui Yan said: "I don't know, I only know that our Shui family was a very prestigious family back then, but it gradually declined and now we have to sell off our ancestors.
We need to buy things to support our family." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, looking a little lonely.
"By the way, Leng Xuan seems to know our Shui family very well from his tone. Could it be that your ancestors are old friends with our Shui family?"
Leng Xuan said: "We can't call them old friends. We just knew each other, but we lost contact later." He came to see the descendants of the Shui family this time, mainly because he wanted to ask if the descendants of the Shui family knew that they had other branches.
. However, it can be heard from Shui Yan’s conversation that the other party does not seem to know. After thinking for a while, Leng Xuan asked: "Uncle Shui, how much do you know about the thing you auctioned?" Shui Yan said:
"I don't know. I only know that it is something passed down from my ancestors, but I don't know what it is used for. In fact, I have studied it carefully, but it has no use at all. I don't know why my ancestors regarded it as a family heirloom. This time,
If it hadn't been for my unsatisfactory son, I wouldn't have auctioned that thing off." Leng Xuan asked, "Why, is there any difficulty in Uncle Shui's family?" Shui Yan sighed and said, "My son is just idle.
He didn’t do his job properly, he only knew how to gamble, and he lost all his money and was in debt.”
Leng Xuan secretly sighed. Shui Yan and Shui Hantian were both split from the big Shui family, but now they have fallen to this point. It seems that everyone has their own destiny. After thinking about it, Leng Xuan still couldn't bear it.
He asked, "Uncle Shui, besides your branch, does the Shui family have other branches?" Shui Yan nodded and said, "Yes." Hearing this, Leng Xuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
He had no hope in his heart. He didn't expect Shui Yan to know about this. "Uncle Shui, can you tell me?" This time, Shui Yan did not speak, but looked at Leng Xuan strangely and asked, "Mr. Leng,
Let me ask you a question, why are you so concerned about our Shui family?"
