Chapter 336: Mother's Relic
Older people really get up early. Yan Juan was not used to sleeping lazily, but when she finished washing and walked down, she found that the old lady was already sitting at the dining table.
Although his hair is gray, the old man's back is still 'straight' and does not look stiff. It is obvious that her position has always been very respected, and she has been well educated since childhood.
Zhang Taicheng was talking to her on the side, his voice was not high, Yan Juan was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that at such an age, it is somewhat inevitable behind the ears, but this old man seems to be deaf and clear-sighted.
"Wanwan, got up so early?" Jang Tae-sung smiled at her, "Come, sit down next to my great-grandmother and have breakfast together." β
Yan Juan smiled and nodded, and obediently did the old man's side, but unexpectedly found that today's breakfast was British.
"When I was young, I was in England until I was 18 years old before returning to China, and the rest was fine, but I was still used to English black tea and European pastries for breakfast." The old man obviously saw Yan Xuan's doubts. A faint explanation.
"Ah, I see." Yan Juan can only respond in this way.
"If you don't get used to eating, let Taicheng bring you clear porridge. I didn't know that you young people also got up so early, maybe the porridge was not ready yet. β
"I'm not particular about eating, I can do anything." Yan Juan smiled and shook his head: "In my opinion, what can fill your stomach is good food." β
"Poor boy, you must have suffered a lot, didn't you?" The wrinkles on the old woman's face seem to hide compassion.
"No, my mom and I are happy." Yan Juan immediately shook his head and denied it. This is true, they may not be rich in material things, but in terms of 'spirit' and spirit, mother and daughter are always more like good friends.
"Back thenγγγγγγ The temper of the girl is really stubborn. usually looks like a gentle and docile person, but when it comes to the critical moment, it is still the stubborn temper that sees your grandfather. This is not greeting, and the walk is so thorough. It actually took us a few years to find out that Ling Qing was actually not easy. β
Another one who said good things about Ling Qing.
"But if it were me, I would have run away from home and I'd never let them find me!" The old man's words once again made Yan Wan stunned.
"I don't think my mother did anything wrong." Yan Wan muttered, his voice was not high, but the old man seemed to hear it clearly, and even 'revealed' a smile on his face.
"Yes, 'female' people should live a little more 'sexually', although your mother must have suffered enough, but γγγγγγ When people get to that point, they can't help themselves if they can't go! The old man's sigh was full of reproach, but it made Yan Juan's heart warm.
Yan Yixin never spoke, among the two 'females', the old and the young, he and Zhang Taicheng seemed to be transparent.
It wasn't until the end of the breakfast that the old man turned his gaze to Yan Yixin's face: "Is he good to you?" β
Yan Juan was asked so directly by the old man that he almost choked on a sip of tea.
This great-grandmother of hers, probably when she was young, was an enlightened person.
"Yes." Yan Wan calmed down before nodding and answering.
"That's good, it's hard to buy a lover!" The old man's emotion made Yan Juan blush, his own vision seemed to be really good, at least he could get the approval of his great-grandmother.
"Great-grandmother, please rest assured, I will definitely treat Yan Juan as if it were my own eyes," Yan Yixin promised the old man very seriously.
"That's fine, I can see that you care about the girl." The old man nodded, "I heard that you went to Nanxun first?" β
Yan Xuan's heart was a little drummed, listening to the direction of the wind, this great-grandmother might have a little hatred for Wu and Wu, and she didn't have much affection for Ling Qing.
"Yes, Ziwei coaxed me away." Yan Juan smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"He's got the most ghost ideas! His mother couldn't be more gentle, how could he be so ghostly? When I was a child, I was so naughty that I could tear down the roof. β
Yan Juan can completely imagine that Ling Ziwei is also very naughty now!
"It's a pity that he went back and inherited the Ling clan, and he 'mixed' and 'mixed' on that road, what could he do! The girl was really dizzy back then, and she didn't hesitate to fall out with her father. Alas, what is the use of saying it now? β
Yan Juan felt sad in her heart: Yes, my mother has gone, and there is no point in saying anything.
"I don't know if my mother regrets it in her heart, she doesn't feel at ease when she goes, and she always misses me." Yan Xuan's voice was a little choked.
"That's her choice, this girl won't hit the south wall and won't look back. No, even if she hit the south wall, she won't turn back. The old man coughed lightly, "So, no matter how hard she suffers, she will not regret it." Although she has a classical gentle beauty in appearance, her 'sex' is very strong. It's a pity that your grandfather is busy with learning and doesn't know his 'daughter' at all. β
"Did my mother have a lot of time when she was in the Zhang family?" Yan Juan asked in a low voice, looking at Zhang Taicheng.
"Yes, Aunt Guan lives in our house at least half of the year." Zhang Taicheng's face was calm. "At that time, the Zhang family had not yet declined."
"What are the ups and downs of the Zhang family, you two brothers are doing very well." The old man cut off his words.
"Yes, great-grandmother taught me." Zhang Taicheng said obediently, almost making Yan Juan laugh.
"If you're busy for a while, let's go to the company. Let Taicheng accompany the girl out for a walk. The two brothers would choose a place that was quiet and not like it was on the edge of the city. β
"Great-grandmother, if you like it, stay a few more days!" Zhang Taiwei didn't know where to get out, and with a 'messy' hair, he sat on the dining chair.
"Stay with me, girl." Although the old man is kind, he is accustomed to giving orders.
"I'm going back to City A tomorrow, and I still have a job!" Yan Juan tried to explain tactfully.
"Come to Zhejiang, you can choose which company you want to enter the Zhang family."
Yan Juan hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'm used to City A." Moreover, our design team is the best team of Yan's, and I will design more creative works with my companions. β
The old man looked at her, making Yan Juan feel weak. But she still looked at the old man with clear eyes, and expressed her determination with such a gesture.
"I have something here, it's your mother's. She was staying with me at the time, and she left in a hurry and didn't take it with her. The old man stretched out his hand, and someone next to him handed him a piece of gold.
Yan Juan saw a lot, and at a glance he could see that it was a jewelry box. However, the work is really 'exquisite', and the start is very heavy, and the black 'colored' wood luster is very similar to agarwood.
The aroma is not too strong, and it can be seen that it is very old. This jewelry box alone is worth a lot of money, and the most precious agarwood today is Vietnam's strange handle Shen, which is already very rare.
"This kind of agarwood is more precious than Qi Shanshen." Yan Yixin explained in a low voice.
Yan Juan nodded, it seems that her mother really has a lot of treasures, but unfortunately she didn't take away other gems except for the jewelry she was wearing at that time, and the proceeds from the sale also covered the living needs of the first two years of their house.
Rubbing his fingers on the jewelry box, as if he was chasing the temperature of his mother's fingers back then, it took a long time to calm down the 'excited' mood and open the box.
"Cat's eye?" Yan Juan let out a low breath: "This is a golden green cat's eye." β
The gemstone commonly known as the cat's eye, which generally refers to the cat's eye in the chrysoberyl family, is one of the world's five largest gemstones. If it's a different cat's eye effect, you can only add the gemstone name to the cat's eye, such as "tourmaline cat's eye, quartz cat's eye." Spinel cat's eye "γγγγγγ
"This is the best quality cat's eye I've ever seen." Yan Juan was amazed, if it weren't for the old lady still around, she would have wanted to take out the spotlight and magnifying glass and taste it.
"This is made in Sri Lanka, and it was paid as a tribute to the imperial court that year. Later, a eunuch secretly took it out and sold it, which happened to be collected by you at present. Speaking of which, she and Ling Qing were also at that time, and their relationship grew by leaps and bounds. Later, Ling Qing didn't know how many treasures she had collected, trying to please her! The old lady also looked at the jewelry, and the sigh on her face was the traces left by the years.
Every wrinkle is a generous gift that has been secretly exchanged over the years. The wise eyes, when they fell on Yan Juan, turned into a kind background.
Yan Juan said "um": "I saw Ling γγγγγγ in Nanxun He didn't see anything particularly rare, and every table and wood was extremely simple. β
"That's what you set up back then, and of course he won't move a penny. Alas, girl, I heard that you still refuse to recognize him? The old lady naturally knew it, and she almost called Ling Qing's name by Yan Juan, and she already knew the clues.
"Ever since I was sensible, my mother never mentioned his name. I thought, my mother must have hated him so much back then, she wouldn't want me to recognize him, right? Yan Juan shook his head.
"He was responsible for your mother's death and your grandfather's death, of course he was responsible. However, in good conscience, all these years of torture should be enough, if your grandfather was not too upright and didn't scold all the people sent by Ling Qing, he wouldn't have suffered a poisonous hand. β
Yan Juan was a little surprised, it seemed that this old lady who loved her mother very much. Is it also biased towards Ling Qing?
"Great-grandmother, my mother has suffered a lot!" Yan Juan defended.
"I know, but it's gone, we still have to cherish the living!" The old lady smiled kindly, took her hand, and rubbed it gently.
Her fingertips are still smooth and delicate, and Yan Juan feels sadness coming from it. For the suffering of my mother, and for the injuries my mother has suffered, forgiveness is just a title. But those days that have passed do not only exist in the realm of memory.
The scars are the mother's love. The price she paid for that relationship was too great.
"Poor boy!" The old lady's face was compassionate.
Yan Juan shook her head: "It's not me who is pitiful, it's my mother." In fact, I didn't suffer too much, and my mother used her thin shoulders to carry the part she could carry for me. β
