Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"Ah!"

Shi Zhijian got out of the car and rubbed his nose, wondering if someone was talking bad about him.

Meow!

A stray cat leaped past his eyes and quickly disappeared into the grass not far away.

Shi Zhijian was startled.

At this moment, he is standing in front of Ricci's Villa. Hong Kong's night in winter is a little cold. He is wearing a top hat and a white scarf around his neck. Shi Zhijian takes a cigarette from his arms and bites it on his mouth. Lighting the cigarette in his hand, he slowly exhaled.

Shi Zhijian has a strange feeling that he looks a bit like Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Beach" in the previous life.

The problem is, Xu Wenqiang is a downright unlucky person, because of the woman, he still hangs up on the street in the end.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian turned to look at Li Xuexuan who invited him over tonight.

Li Xuexuan seemed to have eyes behind her back. When Shi Zhijian looked at her, she turned her head, Mei Mu and Shi Zhijian looked at each other.

Shi Zhijian was holding a cigarette and couldn't help humming the theme song of "Shanghai Beach": "The waves run, the waves flow, the rivers are endless..."

Li Xuexuan frowned, feeling that Shi Zhijian disrespected himself by doing so.

Chen Huimin and Dasha have long been accustomed to Shi Zhijian's sudden burst of inspiration, and even thought that Mr. Shi's "Waves Run, Waves" sang very well.

Crunch!

The door of Liz's Villa opened.

Li Xuexuan's loyal subordinate Wen Zedong was already waiting at the gate.

As Li Xuexuan's bodyguard, Niu Xiong also appeared in front. Li Xuexuan threw the car key to Niu Xiong and asked Niu Xiong to be responsible for parking the red sports car. .

"Mr. Shi, please!" Li Xuexuan turned around and made an inviting gesture towards Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian nodded and lifted the long scarf with his hand, feeling more and more that he was possessed by "Xu Wenqiang".

When passing in front of Li Xuexuan, Shi Zhijian deliberately stared at her pretty face and hummed: "I love you, hate you, ask you if you know, it seems that the big river will not stop! Turning thousands of turns and thousands of beaches has not recovered. fight!"

Seeing Shi Zhijian's unscrupulous appearance, Li Xuexuan hated his teeth.

Seeing Shi Zhijian teasing the goddess in his mind so face-to-face, Wen Zedong couldn't help but show jealousy in his eyes.

Niu Xiong took the car keys and gave Chen Huimin and Dasha a vicious look.

Chen Huimin didn't care about the disabled man with a broken hand.

Only Dasha also stared at Niu Xiong with his eyes wide open.

...

The Leicester Villa was huge, at least bigger than where Shi Zhijian lived.

Walking into the hall, the crystal chandeliers are bright, and the whole hall is like daytime.

Shi Zhijian took off the top hat and handed it to the maid who stepped forward to serve. He took off the scarf wrapped around his neck and handed it over together.

It was only then that Shi Zhijian realized that these maids were all dressed in uniform, and they were about the same age.

Seeing Shi Zhijian looking at these maids with surprise, Li Xuexuan didn't say much, just asked if he wanted tea or coffee.

Shi Zhijian ordered coffee, and when the maid turned to leave, Shi Zhijian suddenly asked Li Xuexuan: "I heard that in addition to the 'self-combed girls', there are many 'girls' in Hong Kong's rich family!"

Li Xuexuan's body trembled slightly when he heard the words.

"Mei Zai" refers to the transfer of custody of their own children with a sum of money. Most of this transfer occurs in poor families. In order to survive, the poor sell their daughters to others as child brides, wives, maids, and trick girls. and many more.

Everything that happens to this daughter in the future starts from the moment the parents sign and sell it, and it has nothing to do with them.

Therefore, another name for Meizi is the once glorious "maidservant" in Hong Kong.

This system is considered to be discriminatory against women and an extremely inhumane slavery.

As early as 1879, the then-governor of Hong Kong, Sir Hennessy, considered abolishing the maid system, but it was not supported by the society at that time. Because of the strong opposition of conservatives to the anti-handmaid movement at that time, the compensation system could not be implemented for a long time.

In the end, the British Hong Kong government promulgated the "Regulations on Domestic Female Service" on February 15, 1923, under great pressure, prohibiting the employment and resale of maids. But because of the lack of government support, the decree became a dead letter and did not really protect the maids.

In this way, in the long tug-of-war, Hong Kong's maiden (serving maid) system was not abolished until the 1960s.

It is now 1970, and ten years have passed. In order to avoid being labeled as "being rich and not benevolent", many wealthy families seldom dare to use money to recruit "girls". It is rare that there are so many young female servants like the Li family.

In fact, there is a tradition in the Lee family's "meizi" system. Not only are these maids all born into younger sisters, but even Li Xuexuan's biological mother is actually a "meizi"!

In other words, according to the noble bloodline, Li Xuexuan's bloodline is not pure, and it is a lot worse than her cousin Li Zhaotian and others.

And this is also one of the important reasons why Li Xuexuan's father was expelled from the Li family. Marrying a younger sister and having a daughter, this alone is something that the old man of the Li family can't tolerate!

Shi Zhijian just asked a random question out of curiosity, but he didn't know that it would touch Li Xuexuan's most sensitive self-esteem.

There was a strange look on Li Xuexuan's face, as if he was unwilling to talk too much with Shi Zhijian in such a place, and once again invited Shi Zhijian to go upstairs to his boudoir for a "detailed talk".

Being invited to Li Yao's boudoir, even if Shi Zhijian was not a serious person, he couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart.

As Li Xuexuan's confidant, when the ghost guy Wen Zeton heard that the hostess had taken the initiative to invite this Shi Pujie to his boudoir, he immediately felt a lot of sourness in his heart.

"Cough cough, Miss Li, it's not too good, it's so late!" Shi Zhijian still had to be polite in front of everyone, his mouth was polite, but Shi Zhijian's feet were very loyal to his heart, and he had already started to go upstairs.

Seeing this, Li Xuexuan sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Wen Zedong looked at Shi Zhijian's back, and his heart was more than his mother!

...

Shi Zhijian and Li Xuexuan went upstairs.

Downstairs, Wen Zedong and Niu Xiong, Chen Huimin and Dasha looked at each other.

Niu Xiong was unhappy when he saw Dasha, "What do you think?"

"What do you think? You bite me?" Dasha was not used to the other party, so he lashed out at Niu Xiong.

"This is our territory, how dare you be so arrogant?"

"That's it! Bit me?!"

So Dasha and Niu Xiong stared at each other with big eyes, crossed their waists, and confronted each other with their faces full of flesh.

"If you have the ability, don't blink!"

"Blink and a puppy!"

"it is good!"

The two stared at each other, their eyes bigger than cow's eggs, looking at each other, motionless!

Here, Wen Zeton said that he was also the "host", and politely invited Chen Huimin: "I am also idle, can I play chess?"

Chen Huimin shrugged: "I'm good at boxing, betting on horses, singing and dancing! I just don't know how to play chess! Especially your chess!"

Valley people

"Then what will you do?"

"Drink! Do you dare to compare?"

Wen Zedong was full of melancholy in his heart, and when he heard the words, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll fight with you! Get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows!"

...

Incensed candles lit, flickering dimly.

Li Xuexuan's boudoir was full of an indescribable fragrance, Shi Zhijian cocked his nose, and it smelled good.

Out of courtesy, Shi Zhijian had already put out the cigarette when he went upstairs. At this moment, with his hands behind his back, Li Xuexuan was alone in the same room, and there was a little ambiguity in his heart.

The maid knocked on the door and came in, interrupting Shi Zhijian's little thought.

Shi Zhijian took the coffee from the maid and said thank you.

Li Xuexuan asked the maid to go down first, and then told Shi Zhijian to let him wait for a while, and she went to change clothes.

Shi Zhijian sat down on the sofa in a very upright manner, put the coffee on the coffee table, and then involuntarily heard the sound of "sudden" changing clothes from Li Xuexuan, and the imaginative Shi Zhijian immediately came up with a picture in his mind. .

He took a deep breath, took a sip of his coffee, and put this thought aside.

At this moment, Li Xuexuan came out of the dressing room. She was wearing a casual silk gown without makeup on her face. Her hair fell obediently on her shoulders, and she was pulling slippers under her feet. She had long snow-white legs in a skirt. Below is looming.

Shi Zhijian frowned, "Miss Li, I don't care what tricks you play, let me tell you what your purpose is, I don't want to play with you anymore!"

"Why, I'm getting married tomorrow, in a hurry?" Li Xuexuan sneered, his cold face like a hundred flowers blooming.

"So what?" Shi Zhijian said impatiently.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"What's the meaning?"

Li Xuexuan walked up to Shi Zhijian, bent down and took an orange from the fruit plate and handed it to Shi Zhijian, "Eat oranges! Don't be so angry!"

Shi Zhijian smiled angrily, "I don't like eating oranges, I like eating bananas!" After speaking, he didn't even look at the oranges that Li Xuexuan handed over, he took a banana with his back, peeled it, and bit it. One bite.

Li Xuexuan smiled coldly: "I forgot that rich people in Hong Kong don't like to eat oranges! Because these are what prisoners often eat!"

"Since you know, you still invite me to eat oranges? What do you mean, want to send me in to accompany your cousin?" Shi Zhijian said and took a few more bites of the banana, "I'm afraid you can't do it!"

Li Xuexuan giggled, found a red rubber band from somewhere, stretched out his hand to pull up the loose hair, and left it behind his head into a ponytail, then walked to the piano next to him, carrying Shi Zhijian on his back, and said, "You want to leave. You can also, listen to me play a tune first!"

"You invited me here to show off your artistic skills?" Shi Zhijian laughed dumbly.

"Even if it is! Can't get it?" Li Xuexuan turned his face sideways, showing a frivolous smile that definitely didn't match her appearance, even a little smug: "Many people say that I play the piano very well!"

After saying this, Li Xuexuan's hands flew like clouds and water on the piano keys.

Beethoven's classic "Fate" came out loud and deafening!

Shi Zhijian also has some attainments in music. At this moment, watching Li Xuexuan playing a piece of music, he can't help but imagine the scene of a sea swallow in the storm, refusing to bow his head to fate.

Wouldn't it be even better if this piece was paired with "Haiyan" by Mr. Gorky?

Shi Zhijian was biting a banana in his mouth, and this thought appeared inexplicably.

"What are you thinking about? Shi Zhijian?" Suddenly, a male voice came from behind.

Shi Zhijian turned his head sharply and shouted, "Damn!"

One kick to the opponent's crotch!

The other party screamed, and his face turned purple when he covered it!

When Li Xuexuan heard the sound, he stopped playing the piano and couldn't help shouting, "Cousin!"

Let's look at the man who was kicked by Shi Zhijian, who was it if it wasn't Li Zhaotian? !

Shi Zhijian looked at Li Zhaotian, who was almost brought down by himself, and then looked at Li Xuexuan, whose pretty face was discolored at the moment, and said with disdain, "So you hid your cousin and came to plot against me!"

Li Zhaotian committed a crime and should have been in prison, but at this moment he escaped and is still here, so there is only one purpose, that is to seek revenge for him, Shi Zhijian!

Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian threw the banana peel at random, clapped his hands, pointed to Li Zhaotian and said calmly: "Li Zhaotian, you can't think of it! What if you brothers and sisters join forces? Since I can send you to prison once, I can send you another one. Second time!"

"Don't, don't get me wrong!" Li Zhaotian covered his bottom, his face was in great pain, he waved at Shi Zhijian, "I came out of prison to—"

How could Shi Zhijian listen to his rhetoric? At this moment, there are two of them in the room, and they are alone. It is better to strike first!

Shi Zhijian didn't hesitate any longer, he had practiced it before! Chen Huimin worked as a sparring partner and punched him! Most importantly, he used to be a bad guy!

So Shi Zhijian handsomely used his left foot as the pivot, raised his right leg and flew towards Li Zhaotian!

Li Xuexuan shouted: "Don't!"

Li Zhaotian covered his crotch and looked at the flying foot, his pupils widened! No flash, no flash, no escape!

Shi Zhijian's heart is full of excitement! The classic "Fengshen Leg" from the last movie came to mind!

At this moment, he suddenly felt his feet slip!

Then the whole body lost its center of gravity, flew up and fell to the ground!

bang!

Broken bones!

When I looked at my feet, I stepped on the banana peel just now!

Li Zhaotian and Li Xuexuan were both stunned!

Getting up so handsome, in exchange for such a mournful dash!

Shi Zhijian's head hit the ground, and the back of his head hurt so badly that he couldn't stand up for a while, mainly because he fell too hard! He also blamed him for flying too hard! I wanted to kick Feili Zhaotian with one kick, but I didn't expect to throw myself upside down!

Shi Zhijian was struggling to get up from the ground when footsteps sounded.

Shi Zhijian squinted and saw a pair of slippers appear in front of him, a pair of snow-white jade feet in the slippers, and the playful toes rubbed each other~www.readwn.com~ Ten-fingered cardamom, full of temptation.

Shi Zhijian raised his head and saw Li Xuexuan's cold and pretty face.

Li Xuexuan leaned over slightly, stretched out his hand towards Shi Zhijian, and said, "Come on, I'll pull you up!"

Shi Zhijian hesitated for a moment, "Are you so kind?" After speaking, he still stretched out his hand involuntarily.

Li Xuexuan took Shi Zhijian's hand and slowly pulled him up from the ground.

Shi Zhijian felt that he had fallen hard just now, and his bones were still hurting!

"You're right!" Li Xuexuan suddenly smiled at Shi Zhijian.

"What?" Before Shi Zhijian was stunned, he felt that something was sticking in his chest, zizi!

Shi Zhijian was numb all over and fell towards Li Xuexuan's arms! It was clear at the last moment of his coma that it was a mini-shock!

Shi Zhijian looked at Leng Ruotao and Li Xuexuan and muttered, "I knew---you didn't act kindly!" After speaking, his head softened and he fell into Li Xuexuan's arms!
