On the altar were an incense burner and a number of tablets, and the names of the people written on them were all surnamed Jiang.
And on the wall above the altar, hang three Chinese-style portraits.
The portrait in the center is a middle-aged man wearing a blue dress. Even though the man was thin, he was spirited. He was standing on a rock on top of a mountain with his hands behind his back. His long beard and hem of his clothes follow him. The wind blew, the old man looked up at the sky, his expression full of pride and ambition;
on the left side of the portrait, a seven or eight year old child is sitting cross-legged at a stone table on a mountaintop, reading a book, on the right side, is a portrait of an old man sitting upright.
Charlie had been in contact with antiques, he knew that all of these paintings were old paintings, and they were quite old.
He couldn’t help sighing secretly in his heart, “Although I don’t know whether these three paintings were from the hand of a famous ancient master, but just by looking at their exquisite craftsmanship and unique charm, it can be deduced that they are not ordinary products If they are brought to the market there will not be much more He said, at least hundreds of thousands of a pair, three paintings sold for one million, should be easy
. people, since the three paintings that hung in the old lady’s house were so valuable, why was her son tricked into going to Mexico under the pretense of being a sailor? Even mother and son almost died in a foreign country…”
At this point, Charlie had more questions in his heart.
However, he could also see from this that his guess yesterday was correct. Although the old lady was living in poverty now, her family had been passed down for more than a thousand years, and her family background was truly extraordinary!
At this time, the middle-aged man looked at these two well-dressed youths, somewhat nervous and stiff. He pointed to the low wooden table and wooden bench in the middle of the main room, and said a little embarrassedly, “Please please sit down. I’m sorry, the conditions at home are bad, I have wronged you two, I will go and pour water for you two.” .”
Charlie came to his senses, smiled and said, “Thank you, don’t be so polite, we’re not thirsty.”
While talking, Madam Jiang washed her hands. Despite the drops of water on her hands, she ran quickly over, and said frantically, “Two distinguished guests, please take a seat quickly. Our family is poor and we don’t have proper furniture. Even I don’t have a good chair to sit on, I really feel wronged!”
