Chapter 419: The Key
"Alas...... I can't seem to think of ......."
Zhang Guoshan had no choice but to give up.
The memories of the past are very vague.
He thought that it might be a portrait of his mother, otherwise, where did that familiarity come from? However, his vague memory was not enough to support his guesses.
At this time, Zhang Yi asked again.
"Dad, where will I put the key that my grandfather said?"
Of course, this key thing.
It is also mentioned in the will.
Zhang Yi's grandfather said that it was a key that looked like ancient times. The two of them had been looking for a while just now, in the drawer, in the vase, and under the vase.
But.
And there was nothing to gain.
"In the past, people used to like to put their keys in jars or drawers. However, we have already searched for it, but we haven't found any keys! ”
Zhang Guoshan said, frowning slightly.
He was thinking that Zhang Yi's grandfather's will did not write out the location of the key, probably because Zhang Yi's grandfather didn't know where the key was.
But.
Zhang Guoshan was thinking about it.
Zhang Yi saw something in the bedroom.
"What's that?"
Zhang Yi couldn't help asking.
On the opposite side of the old bed in the bedroom is something covered with a white cloth, which is a little strange.
The white cloth had dust on it, and it looked like it had turned grayish-yellow.
"I don't know!"
Zhang Guoshan replied.
The two men immediately went over.
Carefully lift the white cloth.
It turned out to be a dresser.
The mahogany carved dresser, the mirror is not as clear as the modern one, and it looks very old.
on the dresser.
There is also a bronze mirror.
The back of the bronze mirror is buckled on the table, and it can be seen that this copper mirror should be the kind of four-god rule mirror that was popular in the Han Dynasty.
Except for this mirror.
The others are bottles and cans.
There are porcelain, red, jade, etc., all kinds of materials, all very small, and they are all very antique. The ones here should be some ancient cosmetics.
"My grandma's cosmetics look ...... It's all very ancient! ”
Zhang Yi sighed with emotion.
And Zhang Guoshan didn't say anything.
He reached out and picked up the bronze mirror.
Looking over it, he found that the bronze mirror was still as bright as new. There is no rust, and there is no oxidation on the polished surface, so you can shine a human figure.
Holding the bronze mirror in one hand, and picking up the rouge box next to it in the other.
"I seem to have some impressions of these things!"
Zhang Guoshan said suddenly.
Zhang Yi didn't speak, not wanting to interrupt Zhang Guoshan's train of thought.
This room is Mo Lan's room, that is, Zhang Guoshan's mother's room. When Zhang Guoshan was five years old, Mo Lan had already died, and after his death, Zhang Guoshan's father did not live here.
However, when Zhang Guoshan was a child, after all, he lived here for four or five years.
Therefore, I have some impressions of where Mo Lan lives, or the things she has used, which is actually normal, Zhang Yi thinks so.
And Zhang Guoshan suddenly closed his eyes.
Suddenly.
He opened his eyes.
I looked back at the painting on the wall behind me, without a symbol or inscription.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"The person in the painting should be your grandmother!"
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Yi was very surprised.
In fact, it may also be that Zhang Yi has a preconceived thought, he always feels that his grandmother should be an old lady.
As a matter of fact.
Zhang Yi's grandmother died early, and even when she died, she should have been very young. So, it must not be the image of an old lady.
In addition, there are other pictures of ancient ladies in the house.
When I first saw this painting, I was confused by this information, so neither Zhang Guoshan nor Zhang Yi thought about the painting on Zhang Yi's grandmother.
"That's right. I was too young to be impressed. ”
"Still, your grandmother does seem to like to wear these ancient clothes. I remember...... Yes, your grandfather seems to have hired a painter to paint a portrait of your grandmother, maybe this is it! ”
Zhang Guoshan recalled a little impression in his memory and said this.
And Zhang Guoshan's words raised Zhang Yi's interest.
Because.
These words involve the author of this painting.
If the author of the painting can be found, it may be possible to find out why the painting cannot be identified. The reason for this painting may be related to the other two unidentified characters in Zhang Yi's hand.
"I don't remember this clearly, I just have a little impression of your grandfather's invitation to a painter. And I'm not sure if the painter painted this one. ”
Zhang Guoshan replied.
It seems that it is impossible to learn about the painter from Zhang Yi's father.
But.
Zhang Yi thought of the anonymous "Silent Night Picture" that Gu Feng gave Zhang Yi before, and he said that someone wanted to pay 100 million yuan to buy the anonymous painting.
If you don't know the value of the word, or what makes it special, you won't have to pay that high price.
Perhaps, that person will know the truth?
Zhang Yi has that person's contact information in his hand, and now it seems that when he has time, it is indeed very necessary to meet that person.
on the dresser.
I've already looked for it, the powder box, the rouge box, and the small drawer underneath, all of them.
Unfortunately, there is still no whereabouts of the key.
"Dad, where else is there a key that could be hidden?"
In Zhang Yi's grandfather's suicide note, only the key is written, but there is no written where the key will be placed.
Zhang Guoshan also shook his head.
I can't find it!
Because, when they found here, the two of them had almost found this house upside down.
I found all the corners, but I didn't see the key.
Could it be that there is a secret compartment or something in this room?
The two of them followed the wall and patted again.
I even turned the bed board up and looked at it, but I still didn't find anything.
"Dad, will there be in another room?"
"Shall we go and see?"
That's all there is to it.
Grandpa Zhang Yi's will said that the key is in Grandma Zhang Yi's room, and strictly speaking, the other rooms in this courtyard are also Grandma Zhang Yi's rooms.
So.
The two immediately went to another room.
It's just that the other houses are basically deserted.
There are some miscellaneous items piled up inside, and it is impossible to put something as important as a key in such a place. I probably looked for it, but there were no clues.
I had to give up.
After that, Zhang Guoshan thought of it again, and there was a row of houses behind Grandma Zhang Yi's room.
