The gongs and drums are noisy, and the firecrackers are blasting!
Today's Shi family mansion is even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
As Shi Zhijian's elder sister, Shi Yufeng specially wore a brand new cheongsam, still in bright red, embroidered with a bat holding a gourd, which means "full of blessings."
As Shi Zhijian's wives, Nie Yongqin, Bai Leti, Su Youwei, Li Xuexuan, and Xie Bingqian were all gorgeous today, and they were all dressed up.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Today is A Jian's big day. Many guests will come to congratulate you later. You must show your best side!"
"I know, sister!"
"I know, Sister Feng!"
Nie Yongqin and others said together.
Shi Yufeng was hurriedly satisfied with everyone's attitude, nodded, and said: "By the way, where is A Jian?"
As everyone was talking, Dawei and Xiwei stepped forward and brought something that looked like a calligraphy and painting in front of Shi Zhijian.
"How about I help you?"
Shi Yufeng's voice came from outside: "You want me to get out of here?"
Following the voice, Shi Yufeng walked in. As soon as she saw Shi Zhijian, she curled her lips and said, "I don't care if you prefer to wear a white suit, but how can you wear a black tie on this special day? What a bad luck! A red one, then."
Joy!"
"Haha, well said! Hong Kong people are responsible, I like to hear this sentence! So as a Hong Kong person, I thank you on behalf of everyone! Dawei, why don't you hurry up and present the gift I brought!"
"Concession! Concession!" Lame Hao clasped his fists and said to everyone. "Of course, these are not the main things. The most important thing is-"
Yan Xiong nodded hurriedly and bowed: "Sister Yufeng is right! The red tie is so cool!"
…
When Shi Zhijian took Yan Xiong downstairs, Shi Yufeng muttered again: "This damn cripple, he comes so early every time - if your legs and feet are not good, you should come later, what are you saying?"
"What's there to celebrate? I just did my duty as a Hong Konger!"
Shi Yufeng hurriedly urged Shi Zhijian: "The dead cripple is here, hurry up and greet him, don't lose etiquette!"
"Yes, Brother Hao!"
When Yan Xiong heard this, his heart palpitated slightly.
Shi Zhijian looked at the calligraphy and painting. They were very old. They looked like antiques at first glance. When he looked at the title, he couldn't help but be startled: "This is--"
In the end, Shi Zhijian still couldn't defeat his elder sister Shi Yufeng, so he had no choice but to tie up the bright red tie and look in the mirror. He felt like the wealthy young man next door who couldn't stand it.
Yan Xiong smiled at the side: "That's because they are embarrassed. If this one helps, the other one won't, they will be jealous!"
"Red is so vulgar! If you don't like black, I'll wear the blue one!"
For Yan Xiong, the return of Hong Kong mentioned by Shi Zhijian is simply a fantasy.
"Ah Jian, congratulations to you!" Lai Hao chewed a big cigar and took his two younger brothers, Da Wei and Xi Wei, to congratulate Shi Zhi Jian as soon as he saw Shi Zhi Jian in the hall.
"Today is more festive than your wedding, of course it must be in red!"
Yan Xiong coughed: "Actually, I don't know much about it. My wife helps me tie it at home..."
Then without any explanation, he opened the closet, found a bright red strip, and was about to put it around Shi Zhijian's neck.
After a pause, Yan Xiong said again: "But having said that, Mr. Shi, there are some things that I don't feel comfortable saying..."
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Wu Shihao is here!" Suddenly, the servant Ahua from outside broke in and said.
"What time has it been? Why haven't you come down yet?"
Shi Yufeng was anxious and hurriedly went upstairs to find her younger brother.
Yan Xiong was stunned again, "Mr. Shi, tell the truth - will Hong Kong really return?"
While talking, Shi Yufeng limped and walked downstairs.
Shi Zhijian pointed to the white suit jacket, and Yan Xiong took it for him and handed it to him.
"Of course!" Shi Zhijian picked up the top hat next to him and tried to put it on his head. "Hong Kong is the Hong Kong of us Chinese. Sooner or later, we will return to the motherland. As for these ghosts, sooner or later, get out!"
In the bedroom, Shi Zhijian was wearing a white shirt and a black tie. He said to Yan Xiong: "Women are unreliable. Look, there's not even one person to help tie the tie!"
Shi Zhijian nodded without saying anything, "At least before Hong Kong returns, we have to deal with these ghosts!"
"You are so jealous, we are an old married couple!"
In short, Yan Xiong's principle of life is to play both sides and never offend.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Will it offend the Hong Kong Governor?"
"Yes, he is so generous every time he takes action!"
"No! I'm not used to men tying my tie."
After the words fell, the surroundings became quiet.
Yan Xiong nodded: "Everyone knows that you and he were good friends. You helped him a lot. We should not have become enemies..."
When everyone around heard this, they applauded together: "Okay!"
Yan Xiong immediately said: "Of course, the blue tie is actually very impressive and very fashionable!"
Lame Hao deliberately tried to pass it off, and then vowed: "The most important thing is that this great painter is also named Shi, and you may have a genealogical relationship with A Jian. It would be more meaningful for you to collect the paintings of your ancestors!"
Shi Zhijian's words that you and I are not outsiders made Yan Xiong feel hot, and he said: "In this case, I will say it - to be honest, this time is very dangerous. If you lose this parliament, you will
You are looked down upon by others, but if you win, you will, you will—"
"Open it and show it to A Jian!" Lai Hao chewed his cigar and looked very cool.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. You and I are not outsiders."
"That's right!" Lai Hao waved his hand, stood up and explained triumphantly: "This painting is the "Calabash Picture" by the famous Qing Dynasty calligrapher and painter Shi Tao! The gourd is good, and it means fortune, which means I am giving this to you.
This calligraphy and painting congratulates A Jian on your prosperity and prosperity, and may you have many children in the future!"
"Oh, Mr. Shi, did you already have plans?"
Shi Zhijian opened his arms, put on his suit jacket, turned to Yan Xiong and said, "The relationship between him and me is a bit complicated, but it's not unbreakable."
Shi Zhijian frowned and said: "Sister, I'm not getting married, why should I wear a red tie? Black is fine!"
Yan Xiong was about to speak but stopped.
"Ajian? He's still upstairs."
When people around saw Lai Hao like this, they started talking about it——
"I wonder what kind of gift this lame man gave me?"
"What is vulgarity? It's both happy and foreign! Don't you think so, Yan Xiong?" Shi Yufeng winked at Yan Xiong.
Dawei and Xiwei helped open the painting and calligraphy together. Sure enough, it was an ancient painting with a small river and a vine gourd painted on it.
Shi Zhijian glared at Yan Xiong.
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes.
Others couldn't help but scorn: "Rough people are just rough people! They can even give wrong gifts!"
"Yes, now I know what it means to be ignorant and incompetent!"
Some kind-hearted people said: "Don't push him, everyone knows where he comes from!"
