Chapter 17 Two People Closely Connected

"Han Yan, why is this bracelet different from before?"

Jiang Siyuan felt a little uneasy, but she also thought she was overthinking. She was a reborn person, so she knew that the bracelet was a treasure. Jiang Hanyan hadn't discovered the space yet, so it was impossible for her to know.

"I washed it clean, don't give it back to me!"

Jiang Hanyan stretched out her hand, her pretty face full of impatience.

"Yes, I just asked, I'm leaving now!"

Jiang Siyuan's doubts were dispelled, and she hurried away. When she stepped over the threshold, she obediently closed the door, and the old door made a creaking sound.

"Doudou, Aunt Jiang will buy you something delicious tomorrow."

Jiang Hanyan was in a good mood. She made a small profit of 100 yuan, which was not bad.

Doudou, who was playing with Jinshanshan, turned his head and smiled happily, and pointed at Jinshanshan.

"Okay, buy one for Jin Shanshan too."

Jiang Hanyan is very generous. This unexpected fortune must be spent as soon as possible.

When she looked in the mirror in the morning, she found that her forehead was shining with golden light, and she knew that she would make some money.

Although she was an andrologist in her previous life, she followed her father on the road before she was ten years old. Her father was a fake Taoist priest who swindled people and had some abilities, but not much, so the father and daughter could only barely fill their stomachs.

Her father always said that she was very talented and if she had the guidance of a famous teacher, she would definitely become a master. Jiang Hanyan's dream before she was ten years old was to become a big boss in the Xuanmen sect, so that she and her father could have enough food to eat.

But when she was ten years old, her father fell seriously ill and left her behind. Before he died, he reminded her not to forget to learn from a famous teacher. After that, Jiang Hanyan went to an orphanage, and her dream changed. She decided to become a doctor who saves lives.

Jiang Hanyan sighed softly. The years when she traveled with her father were the happiest time of her life. Her father took care of everything for her, and she could travel around the country. Which child could have such a rich and wonderful childhood like her?

"That bracelet is probably an antique."

Lu Chen couldn't help but remind him that Jiang Siyuan was a person who would not do anything without profit. He usually tried to cheat this woman out of her money, but today he was willing to spend a hundred yuan to buy an inconspicuous bracelet. Obviously, there was something mysterious in this bracelet.

“I bought it for a dollar at the market!”

Jiang Hanyan was very proud. Yesterday, when she went to the market to buy vegetables, she saw someone selling peach kernel bracelets, so she bought one. After returning home, she used chemicals to make them look old.

This kind of cheating and deceiving trick is her father's unique skill, and she has learned it since she was three years old.

Lu Chen twitched his lips, silently lowered his head and looked at the coal ball, his face feeling a little hot. He shouldn't meddle in other people's business. This woman was not the original Jiang Hanyan, who was very cunning. How could she be fooled by Jiang Siyuan?

Jiang Hanyan finished eating the melon seeds in her hand, swept the melon seed shells on the ground with a broom, clapped her hands, and lifted the lid on the coal stove, and a rich aroma wafted out.

"It's time to eat, eat first and then do it!"

Jiang Hanyan called out to Lu Chen, put cotton cloth on the two handles of the pot, picked it up and walked into the house. The meat stewed with dried bamboo shoots was all paid for by her original father, so it must be delicious if it’s free.

Lu Chen put down the mold, went to the faucet to wash his hands and face, and without putting on his coat, he went to the kitchen in his wet short-sleeved shirt to get three sets of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table one by one.

"You're not wearing any clothes? Don't let me get sick if you catch a cold!"

Jiang Hanyan came out holding a big bowl of stewed meat with dried bamboo shoots. Seeing how cool he looked, she couldn't help but remind him.

After all, they slept in the same bed, and if this guy caught a cold, she would be the one in trouble.

Lu Chen glanced at her indifferently and said coldly: "No."

He is in good health and will not catch a cold even if he goes shirtless in the middle of winter. The boxing techniques his grandfather taught him are for practicing internal strength. Although he has not achieved anything special in these years, his body is stronger than that of ordinary people.

Jiang Hanyan didn't say anything more and sat down to eat. She stewed a pot of bamboo shoots and meat and fried a bowl of vegetables. Although Uncle Jiang was not a good person, the bamboo shoots he sold were very tender, and the gravy seeped into the bamboo shoots, which tasted amazing.

Lu Chen and Dou Dou both buried their heads in eating, and neither of them wanted to pick up some vegetables. Jiang Hanyan picked up the vegetables and put some into each person's bowl. The two, one big and one small, raised their heads, with expressions of obvious rejection.

"Any comments?"

Jiang Hanyan's tone was very arrogant. She was the boss in charge of the kitchen, so she had to keep her opinions to herself.

Lu Chen decisively lowered his head and ate the vegetables in big mouthfuls. Doudou blinked and ate obediently. Even Uncle Lu didn't dare to resist.

Jiang Hanyan snorted with satisfaction and put the remaining vegetables into her own bowl. The cores of the vegetables were very tender now and she loved eating them so much that she could finish a whole plate of them.

After dinner, Lu Chen washed the dishes and continued to make coal briquettes. Doudou played happily with Jin Shanshan. Jiang Hanyan yawned boredly. What was she doing?

If I go to bed now, I won't be able to sleep at night, so I'd better find something to do.

Jiang Hanyan thought of the guqin in the space. She had to think of a reason to take it out and practice. According to the Lingshu Guqin Score, this guqin could cure all diseases if practiced well. She had to practice well.

Soon she thought of a solution and asked Lu Chen loudly, "Have you not cleaned the utility room for a long time?"

"Um."

Lu Chen didn't even raise his head. The storage room was piled with his grandfather's things. He hadn't taken care of it since the old man passed away.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Jiang Hanyan's eyes flashed with cunning, and she stood up and walked towards the utility room, saying as she walked: "I'll go sort it out and see if there are any treasures."

Lu Chen actually wanted to remind her that the reason why the utility room is called a utility room is because it is filled with miscellaneous items. If there are treasures in it, it would be called a treasure house.

But he was too lazy to say anything. Once this woman was covered in dust, she would come out in shame.

Jiang Hanyan pushed open the door of the utility room, and a musty smell hit her nose.

“Ahem…”

Jiang Hanyan went back to the house, got a piece of cloth, wet it and covered her face with it, then continued to rummage through the storage room.

She just wanted to find the origin of the guqin, so she planned to search for an hour or so and pretend to have found the guqin. Anyway, Lu Chen hadn't sorted it out for a long time.

But to her surprise, there were actually quite a few treasures in the utility room, all of which were books related to fortune-telling. She also found Five Emperors' coins, tortoise shells and other divination tools. Her father had them before, but they were not as good as these.

Jiang Hanyan remembered that the book said that Lu Chen's grandfather was a famous fortune teller, who was very well-known in Fucheng. He knew a little bit about feng shui, naming, exploring treasure caves, calculating marriages, etc. Therefore, when Grandpa Lu was alive, the Lu family was in good condition.

It’s a pity that the old man gave birth to a prodigal son, who not only squandered all the family property, but also owed a lot of gambling debts. The old man died with hatred in his heart.

And Lu Chen was not interested in the ancestral skills, so after the old man passed away, this utility room was sealed.

"Wow... so many treasures!"

Jiang Hanyan's exaggerated cry came from the utility room. Lu Chen was stunned. Is there really a treasure?

Soon Jiang Hanyan came out with a pile of dirty books, her face covered in dust. She put the books on the ground, then turned back and took out the guqin. In order not to arouse suspicion, she deliberately smeared a lot of dust on the guqin, making it look like it had been covered in dust for many years.

"There's also a guqin!"

Jiang Hanyan took off the cloth and hugged the guqin with a smile, completely unaware that she had become a harlequin cat.

"Guqin?"

Lu Chen came over. He remembered that there was no such thing at home. Where did this woman find it? "Yes, it's hidden in the corner. It's just a little dirty. I'll go clean it."

Jiang Hanyan ignored his suspicious look. Anyway, she had found a provenance for the guqin, so this guy could believe it or not.

She was holding the guqin and was about to go back to the room. When she turned around, she bumped into Lu Chen. Then, a huge suction force made her and Lu Chen stick together tightly, facing each other. If it weren't for the guqin between them, the two of them would have been mouth to mouth.
