Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1417 1417 [Condolences! 】

Lee's Mansion.

"Aliang, is the master at the edge?" Li Xuexuan asked the driver, Aliang.

"After I brought him back from the hospital, he went into the study and hasn't come out yet." A Liang said with a bitter face, "Miss, it seems that the master is in a very bad mood, I haven't seen him like this for a long time, you go Look at him! He, he—" A Liang said about him several times in a row, but couldn't say why.

"I'll go to the study to find him!" Li Xuexuan was also worried about his father's body, so he walked towards the study on the second floor.

Behind him, Ah Liang looked at Li Xuexuan's back and sighed: "What's the matter! The Li family has been too backslidable this year, the white-haired people give away the black-haired people! No matter how bad the young master Li is, he is still profitable family!"

At this time, the old housekeeper came over, glanced at Li Xuexuan's back with his hands behind his back, and then looked at A Liang with a sad face and said, "What are you worried about? Someone in the Li family died, why are you sadder than the master?"

"You don't understand this." A Liang explained: "It's really none of my business if someone in the Lee family dies, but the master is in charge of me if he's not in good health. Sooner or later, the young lady will have to go back to Hong Kong. As a driver, I have been serving All of them are masters. If I have three long and two shorts, I will be unemployed! Once I lose my job, I will lose my salary. When the time comes, the whole family will drink the northwest wind?"

The old butler was surprised, "I can't think of A Liang, you are usually a lumpy wood, but your head is still very flexible!"

A Liang smiled bitterly: "It's not good to be inflexible, it's all for the sake of life!"

…

When Li Xuexuan came to the study, he stood at the door wondering what words to use to comfort his father Li Yaozu.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuexuan's heart became even more chaotic. In the end, when his silver teeth were bitten, he could say what he wanted to say, adapting accordingly.

Thinking of this, Li Xuexuan stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly.

Creak, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was the maid serving Li Yaozu's tea.

"Miss, you're back!" The maid was overjoyed when she saw Li Xuexuan, but she could imagine how uncomfortable she was to stay beside Li Yaozu in low pressure.

"I'll serve him, you go to rest!"

"Miss, this-"

"It's okay." Li Xuexuan was considerate, knowing that the maid must be very tired, or at least she was very tired.

The maid was very grateful for Li Xuexuan's understanding, and bowed slightly to Li Xuexuan again before leaving the room.

As soon as Li Xuexuan entered the study, he heard Li Yaozu shout: "Xuexuan, are you back? How is the company? Is there anything wrong? Come and see if my calligraphy and painting are good? "

Li Yaozu couldn't hear the slightest sadness in his tone, but seemed full of interest.

Li Xuexuan looked over, but saw that his father, Li Yaozu, was wearing a casual white Tang shirt. At the moment, he was holding a brush in one hand and akimbo in the other. A calligraphy.

On the coffee table next to the desk, there are fruit platters, watermelons, apples, and grapes, as well as candied fruit, biscuits, tea and so on.

Seeing his daughter approaching, Li Yaozu still didn't look back. He pointed at the painting and calligraphy and said, "This peacock picture is the best one I have ever drawn. How do you see it, how is it pleasing to the eye! How is it, what do you think?"

Having said that, Li Yaozu turned to look at his daughter.

In just a few days, Li Yaozu seemed to be a lot older, with more wrinkles on his brows, and the messy white hair on the temples was even more eye-catching.

Li Xuexuan smiled and stood beside his father, looking at the colorful picture of a peacock, only to see the peacock sketched by Li Yaozu with a crayon perched on a big tree, surrounded by clouds and mist, the peacock scratching its head and making a pose, and a group of birds below. Crawling and worshipping, the colorful peacock has the look of a bird king.

"Very good, very beautiful!"

"Beautiful? Is this your appreciation of my painting?" Li Yaozu pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with his daughter's evaluation, "It took me four or five hours to rent this painting, and you're done with just one word of beauty? "

Li Xuexuan smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold Li Yaozu's arm: "Then how do you want me to praise you? Could it be that you are a master of traditional Chinese painting, surpassing Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi?"

Li Yaozu shook his head: "If you say that, you're not praising me, you're mocking me! Those masters are god-like beings. As an amateur player with only two legs and one or two brushes, how can I be someone else's opponent?"

Li Xuexuan made a naughty gesture, leaned in front of Li Yaozu, and looked at him with admiration: "How can I do it? In my eyes, Dad, your painting skills are the best! Especially this one! Peacock picture, how do I see it and how I like it! If you take it to auction, I will definitely spend a million to shoot it!"

"Hahaha!" Li Yaozu laughed openly, put the brush in his hand on the pen holder, then took Li Xuexuan to the front of the coffee table and sat down on the sofa.

He painted for four or five hours in one go, and his strength was long gone. When he sat on the sofa, he felt a sore back, "Naughty! Pick up what I like to hear! Your father, I still have self-knowledge, I This painter is so vulgar and gorgeous, I can't wait for the elegant hall! If it is really put up for auction, it will not only be a genre, but it will also be laughed at! On the contrary, you-"

Li Yaozu gently wiped the tip of Li Xuexuan's nose with his hand, his eyes full of kindness and said, "It's the best work of my life, Li Yaozu!"

Li Xuexuan's heart warmed, and he smiled and said, "You only know now? Your baby daughter is very famous outside, not only in Bangkok, but also in Hong Kong. I don't like it when I see it, this is the Li family. Golden Phoenix!"

"Hahaha! You are not ashamed? Haven't seen yourself boasting about yourself!" Li Yaozu laughed.

Li Xuexuan took the opportunity to bend over and pick up a piece of watermelon and stuff it into Li Yaozu's mouth: "Eat the piece of watermelon first!"

"Wow, it's so sweet. My daughter serves me differently!" Li Yaozu ate the watermelon with great interest. "Bangkok's watermelons are not the same as Hong Kong's, they are sweeter and more watery! But compared to the watermelons in Hong Kong, I still prefer the watermelons in Hong Kong!"

"I remember when I was in Hong Kong, the children liked to get together during the New Year. When I saw them being naughty, I gave an order to let each of them make a watermelon. Whoever did it, the red envelopes for the New Year will be doubled! You know, Where does the watermelon come from in winter in Hong Kong, it is either an imported product from another place, or it is a watermelon that has been ripened in the field, all of which are poor and not sweet.”

"Guess what they did? Some children went to the fruit market to buy them at a high price, and some children simply gave up the task. Only your cousin Li Zhaotian is the smartest one."

Li Yaozu was eating the watermelon, and his thoughts went back to the past: "He called the fruit market and told the fruit sellers that he was going to order a few watermelons, and people quickly went over to pay, and he asked the boss to put the watermelons first. Bring it here! Then there was an interesting scene, the watermelon was delivered to the door in person, but those who went to buy the watermelon became a big deal and helped him pay the bill!"

"Afterwards, I smiled and handed the red envelope to Li Zhaotian, touched his head and asked him why he did this? He told me that you must know how to eat your brain and make good use of all the tools around you! There is no need for convenient communication, why do you have to go there in person to waste time? The success or failure of business is in seconds!"

"That time he impressed me! He knew how to take advantage of the situation at a young age, and his achievements are limitless when he grew up! My good brother also admires his precious son, but thinks that he is too smart, and sometimes he will suffer a big loss if he is too smart. Li Yaozu said here, his tone suddenly became low, "This time he suffered a big loss! He shouldn't have fought against Shi Zhijian, he is smart, and Shi Zhijian is smarter than him! Even an old man like me thinks that Shi Zhijian is a ghost. It's unpredictable, not to mention his good luck?"

Li Yaozu bent down and threw the watermelon rind on the plate. He took out another piece of tissue paper and wiped his lips: "In business, it's the same as being a human being. You have to know how to be soft, you have to be able to bend and stretch! I taught him this, and he was the same I said, thank you uncle for pointing it out! Yes, he did say so, I remember it very clearly! So I always thought that he would be able to win without defeat in the future...but..." Li Yaozu choked up, his eyes were even redder Moist, "He still went one step ahead of me and went to find his father! Hehe, the white-haired man sends the black-haired man! It's so interesting!"

Li Yaozu said "interesting" but couldn't hold back the tears anymore!

"It's embarrassing, isn't it Xue Xuan? Your father and I are so old, yet still crying?" Li Yaozu reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes, trying to wipe away the tears, but the tears grew more and more. !

"How could this be? Am I really getting old and feeling too sentimental? These tears are worthless, hehe!" Li Yaozu kept wiping away his tears, looking like crying and laughing.

Li Xuexuan closed her eyes, she couldn't bear to see the scene in front of her, "Dad, don't do this, no matter how much you cry, my cousin won't survive!"

"Really? Haha! But why can't I stop?" Li Yaozu couldn't hold it any longer, he choked a few times, a breath stuck in his throat, and then he burst into tears!

When the Li family servants in the villa heard the sound, they all looked up at the study room on the second floor, with shocked expressions.

It's been so long, they've never seen their master cry, and so loud and undisguised.

I don't know how long it took-

Li Xuexuan took a few pieces of paper and handed them to Li Yaozu.

Li Yaozu wiped his tears, and finally he stopped crying.

He tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "No way, as I get older, it's easy to think about the past!"

Then he picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his eyes for the last time, and told Li Xuexuan, "Anyway, we will give him a rich funeral this time! He is our Li family -- a Li family in life, and a ghost in death!"

…

Since Li Yaozu said that he would give his nephew Li Zhaotian a burial, as a daughter, Li Xuexuan would of course do the same.

As a prominent Chinese family in Bangkok, when Li Xuexuan released the obituary of his cousin Li Zhaotian's death, many famous local families began to act, preparing to collectively come to Li's family to offer condolences and send this rising star from Hong Kong his last journey.

The Lee family members in Hong Kong also sent representatives to come over. When the condolences to Lee Zhaotian are finished and the sparks are over, they will bring his ashes back to Hong Kong for peace of mind.

Longevity Funeral Home in Bangkok.

"There is a guest! Come forward and salute! One bow! Another bow! Three bows! Family members answer!"

There are people inside and outside the Changshou Funeral Home, and with the arrival of condolences, the sound of firecrackers bursts from time to time.

Ricci is a big family in Bangkok, and there are so many people who come to express their condolences, so that the parking lot of the funeral home cannot hold so many vehicles at all. Helpless, the Bangkok police had to come forward to maintain order and let the redundant vehicles stop along the sides of the road, even so , the traffic flow of condolences is still flowing.

At the entrance of the funeral home, there is a long line of wreaths for condolences from the entrance, and when viewed from a distance, it is instantly spectacular.

Longevity Funeral Home is the funeral home that undertakes the largest number of Chinese funeral ceremonies in Bangkok.

Bangkok people believe in Buddhism, and their way of dying is different from that of the Chinese.

They pay attention to chanting sutras, and cremation.

In order to solve this problem, the Chinese have set up many Chinese-style funeral homes. Among the many funeral homes, this Longevity is the most famous and the largest.

The history of Changshou Funeral Home can be traced back to the 1940s. At that time, Luo Changshou, a Chinese who came to Thailand to seek life, invested in the construction of this funeral home. At first, it was just a small trouble, and a shack was built to act as a funeral home. Later, the business became bigger and bigger, and it was sold directly. A pavement starts business.

With the civil war, more and more Chinese moved to Bangkok, Thailand, and Luo Changshou's business was getting better and better. In the end, the Luo family directly became a famous local funeral king.

It's just that Chinese people think that it is too "unlucky" to work in the funeral industry. No matter how much money is made, it will not be on the table, so that although Luo Changshou's family is very rich, they are excluded from local Chinese businessmen.

Even in many public occasions, when Chinese businessmen hold banquets and the like, no one wants to sit with the Luo family.

Among the many Chinese businessmen, Li Yaozu was the only one who didn't believe this, got close to the Luo family, and took the initiative to act as an introducer to pull the Luo family into the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, so that the Luo family also rose to the upper class.

In this regard, Luo Changshou was very grateful to Li Yaozu for his help, and he would take the initiative to come and go during the festivals.

I just didn't expect that Li Yaozu would take the initiative to ask him for help this time, and let him help arrange the funeral of his nephew Li Zhaotian better.

Luo Changshou immediately agreed: "I will definitely make this funeral beautiful!"

Luo Changshou said this and did the same. He not only turned down the three big business in one go, but also gave up the entire funeral hall to the Li family on the principle of not making money.

In addition, Luo Changshou also dressed up the entire funeral hall very grandly at his own expense, including lanterns, paper figures, gold ingots, and so on.

At this moment, in the luxurious condolence hall of UU reading www.uukanshu.com, there are black and white photos of Li Zhaotian, with a banner on it: Die so young, his voice is still there!

Li Yaozu, Li Zhaotian's uncle, and Li Xuexuan, his cousin, are greeting the guests who come to express their condolences, accompanied by the family members of the Li family in Hong Kong.

"Bai's Fragrant Rice Company, Mr. Bai Changqing is here!"

"I am sorry for your loss!"

"thanks!"

"Mr. Xie Guangyi, director of Bangkok Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, is here!"

"Mr. Li, the body is the most important, and I hope to express my condolences!"

"Thank you, I have a heart!"

"Mr. Lu Rongsheng of Bangkok Lu's Rubber Company is here!"

"Mr. Li Zhaotian passed away, I am very saddened!"

"Thank you, please come in!"
