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. You asked me to 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 blue gown. Although the man is skinny, he is strong and energetic. 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 were painted by famous ancient artists, but just looking at the exquisite workmanship and unique charm, I can tell that they are not ordinary. If they were to be put on the market, they would 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
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 passed down 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 the two well-dressed young people, somewhat nervous and embarrassed. He pointed to 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.”
