rebirth against the times

Liang Ying took another sip of the newly filled wine in the cup and said slowly: A long time ago, there was a family in Gusu. This family had a skill that has been passed down for thousands of years - the Suzaku Fan and Suzaku Fan Dance.

It is said that this kind of fan is made of red sandalwood as the bone and fine bamboo silk as the surface. Various rare materials are pasted on the fan surface through special techniques. The fan surface is then painted with special pigments to form the image of a red bird. The other side is painted with various colors according to different needs.

style fan or inscription. Due to the rare materials and complicated process of making fans, one technician can only make five fans a year, which is particularly precious. What is even more amazing is that this kind of fan is also equipped with an exclusive dance, the dancer

Holding the fan and waving it, when it is slow, it is like a stream of light flying, when it is brisk, it is like a red bird emerging from the fan and flying around the dancer, and when it is fast, it is like a red bird rising into flames, roaring for nine days. This family has an unwritten rule, making fans

The skill is only passed down to the men in the family, while the beautiful women in the family learn fan dance. According to legend, the red bird fan and fan dance were presented to the palace as tributes in the Southern Song Dynasty. There was a poem at that time: the dance moves dispersed and recovered in the wind,

The song sounds like a chime but still has a faint rhyme, the stream of light flies past and fanns back, and the sparrow fire flows up into the sky.

After being passed down from generation to generation, in 1937, Gusu was invaded by the Japanese army. The then patriarch Liang Ye moved his direct lineage to Hong Kong Island. However, there were many wars and no one appreciated the skills of the Suzaku Fan. In addition,

Many materials could not be found, so the production of fans and the inheritance of skills were temporarily stopped.

After the liberation of Hong Kong Island, Liang Ye originally wanted to teach his skills to his son. However, with the rapid economic development of Hong Kong Island, Liang Ye's son was affected by that era and had no intention of passing on the traditional skills. He devoted himself to doing business to make money, and finally gave up.

After learning the skills of the Suzaku Fan, he devoted himself to business. As the business grew bigger and bigger, Liang Ye became more and more distant from his son, but the Liang family became famous in Hong Kong Island and was known as

One of the "Four Great Families".

"Four major families? The Liang family of Hong Kong Island. Is it possible that Liang Ye's son is Hong Kong Island's financial tycoon Liang Minqi?" Xiao Zhen asked in surprise when he heard this.

Liang Ying nodded.

"Your surname is also Liang, and you are also from the Liang family in Hong Kong Island?" Bai Shuo suddenly came to his senses.

Liang Ying smiled bitterly and said, "I would rather have nothing to do with this family." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. Everyone also fell silent, waiting for Liang Ying's next story.

Liang Ying went on to say: Liang Minqi gave birth to two sons, one named Liang Chiwen and the other named Liang Chiwu. As his grandchildren grew up, Liang Ye gradually put the focus of training on his grandchildren. Fortunately, Liang Ye

Ye gradually discovered that his eldest grandson Liang Chiwen was very talented in fan-making skills. He had basically mastered the fan-making skills before he was 20 years old. Not only that, Liang Chiwen also relied on the ancestral map to improve the fan dance, making this dance from

The way a man dances with his fan is also unique. I still remember the way he danced with his fan at that time.

But unfortunately, when Liang Chiwen was 22 years old, 70-year-old Liang Ye died of a serious illness. Without his grandfather's support, Liang Minqi began to force him to give up making fans and learn to run the family business. Liang Chiwen devoted himself to

He inherited the family skills and was not interested in business matters, but he did not dare to go against his father's wishes and began to work in the family company. In his spare time, Liang Chiwen secretly continued to study the fan-making skills without telling his father, but was repeatedly

He was discovered and reprimanded. On the one hand, it was the pressure of work, on the other hand, his father's sternness, and on the other hand, his reluctance to give up his fan-making skills. The long-term repressive life made Liang Chiwen overwhelmed, and he gradually became depressed and unhappy.

Only when I occasionally quietly play with the Suzaku fan in front of my wife and son and dance gracefully can I feel a sense of happiness.

Later, as Liang Chiwen's younger brother Liang Chiwu also entered the family business, Liang Chiwen's pressure became even heavier. His younger brother Liang Chiwu was a very scheming man who coveted the family business, because his father Liang Minqi's thinking was more traditional and he always believed that only the eldest son could succeed.

Only a direct grandson can become the helmsman of the family, so Liang Chiwu has never received the attention of his father. After entering the family business, Liang Chiwu deliberately framed his brother Liang Chiwen and showed himself in front of his father, which made his father more and more disgusted with Liang Chiwen. Finally, when Liang Chiwen was 29 years old,

, a major mistake occurred in a business project, and Liang Chiwu revealed behind his back that his brother was still making fans behind his father's back, which made Liang Minqi completely disappointed with Liang Chiwen. In anger, Liang Minqi found the place where Liang Chiwen made fans, and got a

The fire burned everything clean. Since then, Liang Chiwen became more depressed and even suffered from depression. Liang Minqi expelled Liang Chiwen, who was suffering from depression, from the company and put him under house arrest in a room.

He was not allowed to see his son. More than a year later, at the age of 31, Liang Chiwen finally became depressed and became ill, leaving his 7-year-old son behind and passed away.

"It's so pitiful. What happened to his son?" Hearing this, Chen Bing was filled with emotion, and everyone else also felt sorry for this little child.

"We all know this kid, right?" Bai Shuo suddenly stared at Liang Ying and said seriously.

Liang Ying and Bai Shuo looked at each other for a while and said calmly: "Yes, I am that child, and Liang Chiwen is my father."

At this time, everyone felt stunned. Cao An exclaimed: "Damn it, Brother Ying, aren't you the eldest grandson of Liang Minqi, the eldest son of the Liang family in Hong Kong?"

Everyone thought that the eldest son of the Liang family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong, had been with him for so long as an ordinary person. He had also been the son-in-law of the Bai Wanhao family. It was really unimaginable. I'm afraid of the story below.

It's even more exciting.

Liang Ying sighed and said: "Now that everyone knows it, let me tell my own story."

When everyone was quiet again, Liang Ying began to talk again: I was only 7 years old when my father died. I have forgotten many things about him. There are only two things that impressed me the most. One was when I was very young.

When I was a child, it was my mother's birthday. In our room at night, my father secretly took out the Suzaku fan and waved it for my mother. The fan was made extremely colorful by my father's dance. Sometimes it was like the wind blowing cold flames, and sometimes it was like a cold flame.

It was like a flying fire sparrow, and when it was put away, it was like a condensed blue light. Although I was still young, the scene at that time left a deep enough impression on me. My father saw that I watched the whole dance with my eyes fixed.

He also happily praised me for having the talent to pass on the fan-making skills in the future.

The second thing happened when I was 7 years old. I saw my mother often crying secretly, and vaguely heard that my father was seriously ill. When there was no one at home, I secretly ran away to a small house in the woods behind the house. It was not far from where we lived.

Although the villa is only less than 200 meters away, it requires climbing over a fence and passing through a small forest, which makes it look particularly secluded and desolate. When I arrived there, I saw a lonely broken brick house. I heard that

It was the former power distribution room. The door of the house was locked with a huge iron lock, and weeds grew on part of the wall. The only thing that could be seen inside was a window covered with iron fibers. At that time,

I was not tall enough, so I managed to get a few big rocks, and I could barely see the scene inside with my feet on it. That was a scene I will never forget. Then the light came in through the window, and I saw an unkempt man.

Sitting sluggishly on a dirty bed, that was my father. After feeling my peek, he suddenly raised his head and looked at me with a dull and distracted look. After a while,

He seemed to recognize me, and his eyes obviously changed, becoming a little confused and desolate, but his whole person remained motionless, and his mood did not fluctuate at all. I looked at my father like that for a long time, until I reached the bottom of my feet.

The stone collapsed under my feet and I fell to the ground. I got up, my mind went blank, and I stood there blankly for a while, then turned around and ran towards home. While I was running, I always seemed to feel that there was a pair of eyes behind me.

Staring at me, but I didn't dare to look back, and I even felt extremely scared.

Not long after, the news of his father's death came to the family. It was only announced that his father died of a long-term illness that could not be cured. It is said that on the day of the funeral, his father returned to his original appearance and was well taken care of, although his face and body shape were somewhat aggravated.

It was abnormal, and everyone just thought it was due to a long illness. I didn't dare to look at my father again that day, but I knew that I would lose my father from then on.

Since then, the name Liang Chiwen has become a taboo in the family, and my grandfather forbids everyone from talking about anything about my father. For me, my father has become a negative teaching material, used to teach me to live my life in a orderly manner according to my grandfather's arrangements.

Whenever I did something that went against the rules, my grandfather would scold my father bitterly, and then teach me not to be like my father. At first, I was a little resistant, and I was often punished more severely for this. Later, I learned

I have become smarter and will never talk back to my grandfather again. Everything will go according to his will and obey his arrangements. My grandfather is becoming more and more pleased and spends a lot of time cultivating me in his own way.

But this kind of harmony aroused the resentment of my uncle Liang Chiwu, because even if my father died, my grandfather had no intention of making him his successor, so my uncle began to go out of his way to target me. But what he didn't expect was that,

His daughter, my sister Liang Peiling, has been very close to me since we were young. Every time he targeted me, my sister would always step forward to save me and help me get through one test after another.

Once, he got a semi-finished fan that his father had not completed before, secretly put it in my room, and then found an excuse to bring grandpa over. At the critical moment, Pei Ling was the first to get in.

I searched around my house. I watched my sister fussing around aimlessly. Before I had time to ask her anything, I saw her pull out the fan from the gap under my desk. My face suddenly changed at that time.

, and immediately realized what had happened. At this moment, my second uncle had brought my grandpa to my room, saying that he wanted to check my studies. When he saw Pei Ling holding something in her hand, my grandpa immediately asked her to hand it over.

I went over and saw the appearance of the fan clearly, and immediately asked Pei Ling what was going on. Pei Ling resisted everything for me, saying that she had sneaked it out to play with in her uncle's house for fun. Grandpa saw that it was a handful.

The fan was not completed, so he believed Peiling's words. However, Peiling was severely scolded by his grandfather, and the fan was burned again. Later, I heard that Peiling was beaten severely by his second uncle, so

Haven't seen her for a while.

Another time, my second uncle deliberately spoke ill of my father in front of me and called me a bastard that no one wanted. He deliberately made me angry. When I rushed up to pick up his clothes and wanted to argue with him. Grandpa "

"Just in time" appeared, and the second uncle explained that he was concerned about my study and wanted me not to live up to my grandfather's expectations, but I thought he was nosy and wanted to punch him. How could I, a child, really do it?

My second uncle's opponent, but I couldn't tell the truth because my father was a taboo at home. Even if I said that my second uncle insulted my father, I wouldn't get half a cent from my grandfather. In the end, I was imprisoned and punished.

I had no food for a day. In the end, Pei Ling took the risk and quietly brought me food, so that I didn't feel too uncomfortable.

When I was in school, my second uncle bribed the school director and teachers and targeted me everywhere. He often made excuses not to let me attend classes. At the same time, he also secretly instigated some school gangsters to harass me and bully me from time to time in school.

Fortunately, there was a girl from elementary school who had always been interested in me. After she found out, she often stayed with me during recess. Because her family was also quite powerful in Hong Kong Island, those little gangsters did not dare to cause trouble. In addition, I also wanted to

I tried my best to study on my own so as not to delay my studies.

Later, my grandfather's health gradually declined, and he no longer had enough energy to manage affairs. The family business was gradually controlled by his second uncle. In order to get rid of the persecution of my second uncle and leave the oppressive environment, when I was in college, I

I didn’t choose to stay in Hong Kong Island. But my second uncle secretly played tricks and blocked my way to study abroad. I finally chose to go to Nandu University in Suzhou Province. My second uncle’s power in the mainland was relatively weak, and Nandu University

The university was not a first-class institution. Seeing that he had basically achieved his goal, he stopped blocking it.

However, the reason why I chose Nandu University was, firstly, because I wanted to stay away from that family, and secondly, I wanted to pursue the roots of the family and fulfill my father’s dream. However, in the few years of college, I did not find any connection with the family.

The courtyard has already changed its appearance, modern buildings have been built, and everything has changed.

In my second year of college, my second uncle's clutches finally came over. But what was even more sinister this time was that he actually secretly drugged my drink while I was drinking with my classmates.

I was stunned. Then I asked a woman to take me to the hotel room and pretended that the scene looked like a prostitute. When I was in a daze, the police broke in and arrested me and took all the stolen goods.

Later, in front of my grandfather, my uncle vividly rebuked me for the many dirty things I had done in Nandu in the past two years. Of course, these things were all maliciously framed by him forging evidence. He also said that I had degenerated and was a disgrace to the family, and at the same time he said

Pretending to be a good person, he said that I was a descendant of the Liang family after all. For the sake of the family's reputation, he personally came forward to settle the matter without causing any greater impact. But since then, I have been expelled from the Liang family.

I have never gone back, and no one in my family will ask about my whereabouts. I heard that I have been labeled the same as my father at home, and I am the representative of the family's misfortune. My mother has already settled abroad.

Stay away from this sad place.

"Ah, this is simply a modern version of the struggle for the throne, The Passion of the Prince!" Cao An sighed angrily: "Is it time to stage the Revenge of the Prince next?"

Liang Ying smiled bitterly: Revenge? My uncle hasn't really let me go yet. He used the excuse of marching into the inland and worked hard in Nandu, gradually building up considerable strength. The purpose was to prevent me from doing anything.

The development of Nandu. So after I graduated from college, I followed a classmate from Bashu Province to Shudu, trying to get rid of the influence of my second uncle as much as possible.

That year, I used some of my experience in Hong Kong to invest my savings in a milk tea shop with my classmates. The business was initially very good, and the cost was recovered in less than three months. After that, we planned to expand our operations and develop the shop into a chain operation.

Model. Just when we invested a lot of money and were preparing to do something big, a poisoning incident occurred in our milk tea shop. Two customers claimed that they were hospitalized for food poisoning after drinking milk tea in our shop. Almost at the same time

, food supervision, industry and commerce, taxation and other departments all came to visit, and the store was forced to temporarily close. I was also constantly under investigation. In order to save the milk tea shop, I unfolded the truth of the incident myself, from the source of the purchase to the production process of the milk tea shop.

No problem was found. Finally, through the investigation of the poisoned person, it was discovered that the two people worked in the same building, and they knew each other. They were poisoned on the same day, but other milk tea shops sold

There was nothing wrong with the products, and there was obviously something intriguing in them. Finally, after testing, one of them detected a man-made germ in his body, which can cause mild symptoms of poisoning in the human body. While the other person

It was poisoning due to another reason. Through police interrogation and investigation, one of them finally admitted that he was poisoned by accidentally eating other food, while the other person's poisoning was caused by intentionally injecting germs into the milk tea with a needle.

The reason why he did this was because he once had a dispute with the boss because of the queue when buying milk tea, and wanted to seek revenge. Liang Ying knew that this was just a fabricated excuse, because he had already found out who was behind it.

The black hand was the second uncle. Although the second uncle's plan was eventually discovered, it had a great impact on the operation of the milk tea shop. Within two months, the milk tea shop had lost its previous popularity and was preparing to open a new store.

My investment suffered heavy losses due to such a commotion. Although I took timely risk control measures, I still lost more than one million.

Later, I aimed at the development of the domestic real estate industry and planned to set up a decoration and decoration company. However, when the company was still preparing, the suppliers that I had contacted broke the contract one after another, and the downstream customers who had negotiated also terminated the cooperation, leaving this project

Directly stillborn.

Later, I started an online e-commerce service with my friends. My second uncle didn’t know much about this industry. Although there were many obstacles, the company continued to grow and grow, and soon the number of registered users reached one million. But it was slow.

Slowly, the second uncle also found some ways. He did not hesitate to bribe a big boss in the e-commerce industry and paid him to come to our small company. First, he targeted the competition for users, and then cut me off through despicable means.

At that time, online e-commerce was all about burning money in the early stage. If funds could not be continuously injected, it would soon become worthless. In desperation, I sold the company to a company through the help of a friend.

A company called "Qiangdong" barely recovered its investment.

"Qiangdong? Is their boss called Qiangzi?" Bai Shuo suddenly asked in surprise.

"Well, it seems so. How come you are quite familiar with them? By the way, it seems that you said you were ready to invest in them before."

"Oh, no, I just heard about this company. After researching it, it seems to have great potential. I believe it will have great development in the future." Bai Shuo said immediately, "Well, go on."

"Well, their concept is quite good. They were also facing a transformation at that time, and they were the only ones who had the guts to take the risk of offending the boss and acquire my company." Liang Ying continued.

Since then, I have never dared to run a physical business again, so I have implicated many friends. The classmate who I gave away the Chuan Chuan store last time was one of the people I implicated. Since then, I have started to work alone.

, mainly engaged in some stocks and futures investment business, but in the Hong Kong market, my second uncle can always find out which stocks I am doing, and then he will spend all his money to suppress me. Of course, there are times when he can't suppress me, and he goes back and forth.

He spent a lot of money, but I didn't earn a penny.

"You can do such a harming thing, you are really scarier than your enemy." Hearing this, Zhuzi couldn't help but cursed.

"Yes, relatives who are blinded by profit are sometimes more terrifying than enemies." Liang Ying sighed and continued: Later, I moved to the mainland A-share market, and with the help of my good friend Kevin, it was very good.

He helped me hide my account and operation information. In addition, I also tried my best to find some lowly jobs as a cover to avoid the pursuit of my second uncle. This was exactly what he wanted. My informant in the Liang family told me that my second uncle reported to the old man.

, saying that I failed in everything I did in the mainland, and was finally reduced to working as a waiter. After hearing this, the old man became furious and cursed me as a waste. From then on, my reputation as a "waste" was also deliberately exaggerated by my second uncle, and became a nail in the coffin.

The nameplate on me.?
