Chapter 1 Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies

“Where is this…?”

Looking at the streamlined stairs paved with marble from Italy, cast copper handrails, glass veneered stair guardrails, and the interior wall facade with copper radiators, Chen Bin, who was lying on the luxurious bed, was very confused. He was about to get up to find out what was going on, but the severe headache made him faint again, and the room returned to death.

"Second Mrs.! Third Mrs., the young master seems to have moved!"

It was getting darker and it was drizzling outside. A girl with a long face, a water snake's waist, a big braid hanging from her back, but a bridle combed on her forehead. As soon as she reached out to the half-open window, she screamed.

"Thank God, the Holy King appears! You can't let Zuer get into trouble again!"

"Jizu, Jizu, my third concubine, can you hear me talking?"

In an instant, a group of crying women rushed into the room. Pulling and pulling were useless, and shaking and unresponsive. Looking at Chen Jizu's lifeless face, the second wife burst into tears again.

Misfortunes never come in singularity, and blessings come unparalleled. Chen Gongguan, who used to laugh and laugh, now has the most tears.

A sudden bomb not only exploded the old man who had just passed his fifty birthday, but also knocked Chen Jizu's only seedlings out of sight. Three days and three nights passed and still didn't wake up, making it impossible for the Chen family, who had no relatives in Shanghai to even handle the funeral of the old man.

"Sister, as the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. I don't think Joo will be fine."

The third concubine has no son. She usually waits for the man in bed as her own. It is fake that she will not be sad when she is in trouble. But now, the Chen family must have a person in charge. After all, Shanghai is 108,000 miles away from Nanyang, and there is another war. It is no different to rely on the brothers who are far away in Penang to attend the funeral.

Her face was a little white and a touch of blue and blue, and a purple-black rouge on her lips was the newly-produced "Sang Zihong" in this season. The beauty has grown old, but her eyes are not old. While looking at the yellowed "family photo" photo in the photo frame on the bedside, she whispered in a hoarse voice: "The most urgent thing is to get rid of the funeral of the master."

"What should I do? There must be a charter for everything."

Before the second concubine could speak, wearing Indian silk cheongsam, the fourth concubine, who was dressed like Sai Jinhua, stood up and said, "It is said that death is the most important thing, and it is safe to be buried in the soil, but the brothers in Nanyang who are not close to each other insisted on Mingxuan entering the ancestral grave. It was light and the feelings were as simple as calling a telegram."

"Yes! It's the Japanese world outside now. It is said that even the British straits and Jardines ships dare not drive. How easy is it to send the master to Southeast Asia?"

The main house passed away early, and the two fathers and sons of the Chen family died and were injured. The second wife had to make an idea. According to the Chinese tradition, it was time to be buried in peace, but thinking of her husband's special origin, the second wife couldn't help but shook her head and sighed: "Third sister, fourth sister, you have never been to Nanyang. Mingxuan rarely mentioned the company's affairs to you during his lifetime, so naturally he didn't know the aggravation of it. Xia Yang Zhide Hall, Qiu Family Longshan Hall, Shitang Xie Family Zongshi, Lin Family Jiulong Hall, Chen Family Yingchuan Hall, our Chen Family is one of the five major companies in Penang! The thirteen heads of the four major corners all have their origins, Cen house, field house, pine house, gatehouse, island house, wu house, house house... Sea Chang, Hai 2, Hai 3, Hai 4, Hai 5, according to relative order, our group is the long house of the head of the head house!"

As the second concubine said, the third concubine, the fourth concubine, and the famous Yue opera actor Shen Shuzhen, who has not been recognized by these three sisters so far and has not yet entered the house, are all romantic debts owed by the old man after he arrived in Shanghai, and they are not very clear about the ins and outs of the Chen family.

However, it would be fine if I didn't mention these things. When I mentioned the fourth concubine, who was in her youth, was full of anger. She pointed to the coffin in the hall and roared: "My aunt is beautiful and beautiful. She won't be the president of the Flower Kingdom. Who doesn't know me, Wu Yuehong, who is the best in Shanghai? I don't think she was too famous back then! It's okay to be a young man, but she recognizes her widow at a young age. She has to send him back to join the woman who turned into ashes?" As she said that, she suddenly burst into tears.

Things came too suddenly, and the old man didn't even have time to make a will.

The second concubine's wife's family has someone, and she gave birth to two daughters for the old man, and came from Nanyang with her. Whether in Shanghai or Penang, no matter who helps to divide the family property, she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Even the unnamed Shen Shuzhen will get a share of the pie because she gave birth to a wild breed.

If you suffer, you will be so sad that you will be unsophisticated!

The appearance of the fourth concubine Wu Yuehong made the third concubine Li Xiangmei very uncomfortable. If the master who was lying on the bed couldn't wake up, how would she and the fourth concubine live in the future?

The Chen family naturally had to be the Chen family to take charge of the matter. The second concubine, who knew the Chen family's Yingchuan Hall, dared not be confused about this issue. She quickly comforted her: "Sister, sister, isn't Zuer okay? Although he let him go, he still didn't say anything to his family."

Debt collector, debt collector, after the aunt served the old man and served you, you must not have anything to do! Wu Yuehong then recovered and wiped the tears on her cheeks while whispering: "What should I do about the funeral?"

"Let's talk about it when Aliang comes back."

"Can he hold on?"

"Aliang followed Mingxuan since he was a child. If he couldn't even rely on him, who else can we orphans and widows rely on?"

When Cao Cao came, a middle-aged man wearing a long Yindansixiang gown pushed open the door with a serious expression, nodded slightly to the three wives, saying hello, and then quickly walked to the bedside, expressing his concern for the eldest young master.

"Azhu, let you see Uncle Chen."

"No need for my wife, I'll leave in a while."

Chen Liang touched Chen Jizu's forehead, signaling the girl Azhu to avoid it, and whispered: "On the way to Dadong Company, I went to Shengxin Hospital again. Dr. Liu couldn't come up with a good way to treat the young master's injuries. Not to mention hospitalization, I found a lot of excuses and even made excuses for being busy with medical care. I'm afraid I won't come to the hospital in the future."

The second wife asked anxiously: "What about Zhongbi Lei Ding Therapy Hospital and Hujiang Nursing Home?"

"The same goes for everyone to push the wall down, and even those Chinese medicine doctors are unwilling to come."

The bomb was a disaster for Chen Mansion, but it was very satisfying for those in the concession who were clamoring to fight against Japan and save the country all day long.

Traitor! He became a traitor for no reason!

Chen Gongguan, who was happy three days ago, was labeled as a traitor. Even her, a woman with no power, was almost a traitor that everyone said could be killed... The fourth concubine Wu Yuehong was so angry that she was itchy and said angrily: "Does she know a few Japanese people who are traitors? Are she a traitor who has dealt with Japanese people? Those gangs of god-killed people have the ability to blow up the Japanese!"

"The conscience of heaven and earth!"

The second wife nodded heavily and agreed with the same hatred and said, "From January 28 to August 13, our master has never donated money or medicine? He has never been dragged down once, and he just needs to do it face to face with the Japanese! And our Zuer, although he has been a little willing, he has never done anything that is harmful to the world!"

Chen Liang knows better than anyone else whether the Chen family father and son are traitors, but he knows it is useless. For those with ulterior motives, it is just that you are you, no! Anyway, people in troubled times have their lives as cheap as dogs, and they are blown up. What else can you do?

"Second, third, fourth wife," Chen Liang sighed and said helplessly: "We are not only unable to defend ourselves now, but we also need to take more precautions. Although I have already asked someone in the arresting room, it is better to go out less during this period. As for the young master who can't go to the hospital... I don't think it's a bad thing, after all, the family is always safer."

"That's all," the third concubine put down her handkerchief and sighed: "Fortunately, our family runs a pharmacy, and there are two doctors on the cabinet."

Everyone is afraid of being impaired!

In desperation, the second wife could only accept this cruel reality. Seeing that she lowered her head weakly, Chen Liang continued: "The third uncle's telegram also means this, and he reminded us not to let the young master get into trouble no matter what. In addition, they are asking someone to book a ship ticket, a field house, a pine house, a doorman and a few brothers from the family who are also racing against time to rush here."

"Where is the funeral of the master?" The third concubine looked towards the hall and muttered: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, I'm afraid the master will not be able to wait for that long."

"The third uncle also considered it. He asked us to cremate first and keep the funeral back to Nanyang before handling it."

“Creincarnation?”

"Yes, it's cremation!"

Cremation is a funeral custom of foreigners. Whether it is the Japanese burning ground in Hongkou or the Wanguo Funeral Home at No. 207 Jiaozhou Road, they are all places where Eastern and Westerners only go after their deaths. They who pay attention to being buried in peace will not be able to accept it for a while.

I am in a hurry to follow the power, and I can’t take care of so much!

Chen Liang coughed twice and continued, "I have inquired about it. In terms of picking up the body, plastic surgery, wearing clothes, placing coffin, burying, and placing coffin, the Americans have done the best in the Funeral Home. Considering that foreigners are careless in their work, the third uncle also repeatedly reminded him in the telegram to stuff a silver dollar into the master's mouth before burying, so that he would not make any mistakes."

Chen's Yingchuan Hall, "President of the Flower Kingdom", traitors, Japanese, house arrest, cremation... Where is this?

Suddenly I remembered that I took my client to Panyu Road to watch the old villa in "The Sun Empire" in the morning. I was blowing the sky. Chen Bin, the real estate agent who hoped that this second-hand house transaction would be successful, was confused by the strange conversations of these people around me. I wanted to sit up and ask what happened, but my body was not in control. At the same time, a specious memory, accompanied by severe pain, suddenly poured into my already overwhelmed mind.
