I looked back and was sure no one had followed me, so I felt relieved to lift the curtain and walk in.

As soon as I entered the door, a gray-haired old man walked towards me.

I was stunned for a moment, and before I could react, the old man had already leaned over and bowed to me: "Greetings to Miss Yan."

Is it the person sent by Tieyushan to welcome me?

I looked at the old man carefully and saw that his hair and beard were white, his body was thin, and the wrinkles and marks on his face could be seen as being over 60 years old. However, his hands and feet were light and energetic, he was a very capable old man.

I bowed to him politely and asked, "Old man, where is the Tie Boss Tie Yushan?"

"Wait in there, please follow me with my grandma."

After saying that, he walked to the door beside him and made a gesture of invitation. I followed him and passed a spacious courtyard to the main hall behind the money house. I saw Tie Yushan sitting upright. When I saw me, I quickly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed respectfully to my long body: "Goodbye to Miss."

"Uncle Iron."

I hurriedly went up to help him and said, "I am a junior, Uncle Tie, don't lose my life."

Having said that, Tie Yushan still bowed to me stubbornly, then straightened his waist and said, "I haven't seen the eldest lady for so many years. This gift is not enough, and I feel uneasy."

I smiled helplessly and didn't say much, so he asked me to sit down in the main seat.

As soon as he sat down, the old man had already come forward with a tea tray to serve us with a steaming silver hook. Tie Yushan waved at him and said, "Old Mo, go out and watch."

"yes."

The old man bowed to us in his tea tray, turned around and walked out.

In the entire hall, I was the only one who stayed with Tie Yushan and me.

The surroundings were very quiet, especially his shop was very deep, and even the bustling sounds of people coming and going on the street could not be heard. Only the very light sound of water flowing from behind the hall made the place quiet.

I looked around and said, "Uncle Tie didn't open today?"

Tie Yushan sat upright and said, "When I was at the Yan family, I received a message from Sister Hong. I knew that the eldest lady was coming today, so Lao Tie came back and let them all disperse."

I sighed and said, "Uncle Tie, why do you have to do this?"

"Miss' business is a big deal. They are here, and people are confused and always have bad things."

But if you do this, you will attract attention.

I thought to myself, but I didn't say it out, but Tie Yushan seemed to guess what I was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, Miss, this afternoon should have been the time for the money house to settle monthly. In the past, I had to close the door, and outsiders couldn't see anything."

"That's the case, then I'll trouble Uncle Tie."

"Miss, don't say that!"

I smiled, picked up the teacup and lowered my head to take a sip, which was very good tea. I couldn't help but sigh. When I raised my head, I saw that Tie Yushan was holding a tea bowl in his hand and didn't drink a sip, but only looked at me. Seeing that I looked at him, he smiled, but there was a bit of vicissitudes in his smile: "I really didn't expect that I could see the eldest lady again."

I also smiled, and a little sourness appeared in my smile.

Tie Yushan also watched me grow up, and I heard that he had received great kindness from my mother, so he had a very deep relationship with me. This time when I came back to see him, I felt like I met an elder.

However, now is not the time for me to reminisce about the past, I know very well how sensitive and smart the people in the restaurant are. So I said, "Uncle Tie, I want to ask, did my mother leave something for you?"

When Tie Yushan heard this, he said immediately without even thinking about it: "Yes!"

"Is that thing still there?"

"Here I am!"

I couldn't help but breathe a little tighter, but I still suppressed myself and asked as calmly as possible: "Have my mother left anything else?"

This time, Tie Yushan thought for a while before saying, "The eldest lady told Lao Tie to protect the things she left behind. Even if Lao Tie's possessions are gone, that thing must be kept. If the eldest lady comes back one day, she will give it to the eldest lady intact."

"...Well, did she say anything else?"

"there is none left."

"Not a word?"

Tie Yushan looked at me, and seemed a little sad, and smiled and said, "Miss should remember that the lady never speaks. Of course, I will listen to these words."

After hearing what he said, my heart suddenly felt sad.

Yes, my mother has always been like that. In my memory, she has too little words. Even now, what I can remember is some truths she deliberately taught me. At other times, she seems to prefer to spend her years with a smile and a indifferent expression.

Nothing wrong with others.

Thinking of this, I gave up, lowered my head and took another sip of hot tea, and then said to Tie Yushan: "Uncle Tie, I haven't been here for much time today, I just want to see what my mother left for me."

When Tie Yushan heard this, he immediately stood up and said to me, "The thing is inside, please, Miss."

I also got up and followed him into the side door of the hall. I realized that it was really deep. I walked through a corridor, passed several doors, turned a corridor, and saw that behind the bank was a small courtyard with a sudden enlightenment. A pool was hollowed out in the middle, and a rugged rockery stood. Several orange carp swam around in the water, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet little courtyard.

Opposite the pool is a very elegant house, with the eaves and window edges very exquisitely carved. Tieyushan walked over and carefully opened the door, and immediately smelled the faint fragrance coming out of the house.

He explained: "I usually live here, which makes the eldest lady laugh."

I smiled and shook my head.

He invited me into the room and sat at the table. He walked to the desk by himself, moved the table away, and knocked on the position of a brick on the wall behind the table. I immediately knew that he was turning on the computer, but looking around, there was no movement in the room, but I heard a sudden sound of water flowing outside. I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up, and Tie Yushan had already walked out.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I also walked to the door and looked out. I saw a black hole suddenly in the fish pond outside the door. The water flowed in, forming a small vortex. The fish around were frightened and fled everywhere, but in the end they couldn't resist and all flowed into the black hole along the water.

After a while, almost all the water in the pool dried up, leaving only shallow water less than a foot deep. You could vaguely see the bottom of the pool covered with stones and some mud underneath.

Tie Yushan walked to the edge of the pond, bent down, reached into the water for a long time, and picked up something wrapped in oil paper and was dripping with water.

I immediately understood.

He brought the package back to the house. He closed the door and placed the package on the table, disassembly layer by layer. Below the oil paper was asbestos and brocade, and below it was another layer of oil paper, asbestos and brocade.

It can be seen that he protected this thing very well, and it was impossible to infringe on water and fire. At the end, a tin box was exposed. He took out a key and opened the tin box. Then he carefully took out a brocade box from it.

While taking it, he said in a deep voice: "I have been keeping this thing for more than ten years. Today, I can finally hand it over to the eldest lady."

After saying that, he held the brocade box in both hands and placed it carefully in front of me.

For a moment, my breathing became heavier.

This is a brocade box that is not astonishingly beautiful. It is nothing compared to any brocade box in the world. The only thing I can feel is its heaviness. When Tieyushan put it on the table, a very dull sound came. Of course, the inner layer of the brocade box in Tiejia Money House is full of iron plates, which is naturally heavy. I can also guess that what Tieyushan prepared for his mother must be the strongest and most reliable one.

I looked at it for a while and asked with a trembling trembling, "Uncle Tie, do you know what is in this box?"

He shook his head: "When Mrs. put the box in it, Iron also withdrew."

"oh."

"Miss, I will be guarding outside the door first. If you have any instructions, please call me at any time."

After saying that, he got up and walked out. Then I realized that he probably thought that I would like my mother to let him avoid it. However, since my mother was not seen by someone back then, he would naturally not be willing to be known more when he took it out.

I didn't ask any more questions, and when he walked out and closed the door.

Now, I am the only one left in the room.

The surroundings seemed to be quieter than before, with only a hint of undetectable water flowing slowly sounding in this quiet environment, while I was sitting at the table, looking at the brocade box.

This is what my mother left to me.

What she left me, perhaps, was the only thing she had.

For some reason, she has been away for so long. I have hardly dreamed of her over the years, but at this moment, I have a strong feeling, as if those faint eyes that always have a faint smile are quietly staring at me.

It was my mother's eyes, she was looking at me.

Thinking of this, I felt a little difficult to breathe. I couldn't help but clench my fists, took a deep breath, then stretched out my trembling hand, reached into the neckline, and pulled out a red line.

Below the red line, the key that Uncle Ai gave me was falling.

I carefully inserted the key into the hole, and just twisted it gently, and I heard a click sound from inside.

Then, the key in my hand trembled slightly.

I was shocked and subconsciously let go of my hand.

The key was still inserted into the keyhole. Although my hand had been loosened, it was still trembling gently. Then, a continuous sound came from the heavy brocade box, as if the mechanical scoop inside had been activated. After a breath, I felt that the box was quiet, and the buttons on the keyhole popped up automatically.

My heart also hopped.

After a while, he stretched out his hand and gently opened the lid of the brocade box.

What caught my eye was a translucent piece of tulle, dyed with many colors, lying quietly in the box.

Inside, something seemed to be wrapped layer by layer.

I couldn't help but hold my breath, and carefully picked it up. I felt that the thing inside was about the size of a palm, a little heavy, and I didn't knock my hands. I uncovered the translucent gauze layer by layer, and finally, a heavy thing fell on my palm.

It's a jade plaque.
