656 Birthday Gifts
Li Feng asked with a little respect and surprise, and also won the favor of everyone. I feel that although Li Feng is young and has a successful career, he does not have a trace of arrogance, and he treats the old man with respect, plus Li Feng's appearance is really handsome and handsome, full of affinity, no wonder it attracted the attention of the old people around him, full of good feelings.
"Young man, have you heard of me?" replied with a smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Song, last year's 100th birthday was on the front page of the New York Times and many other American newspapers, I have seen the news about you from the newspaper news, and I am very interested in the history of the Republic of China, I have also understood and studied the history of China during that period, Mrs. Song's name is famous in history, I am honored to be able to meet you here!"
"Hehe... , old man, it's your young man's world now!"
Li Feng naturally wouldn't touch other people's moldy heads, and responded respectfully, which made the old man feel good, and he immediately responded humbly with a smile.
"Pei Lao, you are also here!"
After chatting with the two old ladies, Li Feng smiled and greeted a familiar old man who was still standing beside him.
"John, it's been a long time, it's not easy to see you, but I didn't expect you to come to Mrs. Yan's birthday banquet. β
"It's also a coincidence, I recently visited Mr. Yang Xuelan Yang, and I happened to hit the right time. β
β¦β¦
"Brother Pei, you and John have known each other for a long time?" Yang Xuelan asked with a smile when she saw Li Feng and I.M. Pei, a master architect, greeting each other familiarly.
"Don't you know, John, this little guy has a little business connection with my architectural design company, and I've been helping him design the mansion since last year. β
"Oh... , I can ask Brother Bei to do it himself, I think John spent a lot of thought. β
"Hehe, John's house is probably my best work. β
"Then when John's mansion is finished, it's time to see it. β
"That won't disappoint you, but it's my intention. β
"Why, Yu Ming, you are also familiar with Mr. Li, and you are still designing the family mansion for Mr. Li himself?"
ββ¦β
Everyone heard the conversation between I.M. Pei, Li Feng, and Yang Xuelan, and immediately asked, after all, it is not easy to invite this world-famous architect to design the mansion himself, and everyone is also curious about how Li Feng impressed I.M. Pei.
"Hehe... ,Ladies and gentlemen, I am very interested in the traditional architecture of China, therefore, I asked Pei Lao to help me design a manor with the theme of 'Oriental Chinese garden style' on the coast of Los Angeles, and at the same time take into account a certain Western architectural style, which is a combination of Eastern and Western architecture. β
"Oh... I didn't expect you, Mr. Li, to be a lover of oriental architectural culture. β

The next excitement allowed Li Feng to see the large collection of top families of Chinese descent in New York, and a large number of descendants of the Song and Kong families in the four glorious families of China gathered, headed by Mrs. Song and Miss Kong Lingyi.
In addition to the Song and Kong families, there are also the descendants of the Yan, Gu, and Yang families where Yan Youyun himself is linked, as well as the in-laws and friends of the three families, such as the Tang family where Tang Liuqian is located, the Pei family where I.M. Pei is located, and the descendants of the Rong family where the three branches of the Rong family and Ronghong are located, etc., all of which have left a name in the history of the Republic of China.
Among them, Li Feng is most curious about the Rong family and the Song and Kong families, not to mention the Rong family, now it is the top big family in China, and the old man Rong is one of the top bigwigs in China today, as for the Song and Kong families, it is naturally determined by the peak position they were in during the Republic of China at that time.
Especially seeing one of the three sisters of the Song family made Li Feng even more excited. It's not that Li Feng is doing well, but mainly because he has the feeling of seeing historical figures.
Although Li Feng was suddenly excited to see the descendants of these big families during the Republic of China here, Li Feng found that there was really a sense of yin and yang decline in these big families, and the family members are now respected by women, and men are considered premature aging.
The Kong and Song families are now regarded as a single lineage, there are many children, but the men are all in the same lineage, Yan and Yang's two families are girls, and now the younger generation has become a foreign surname, Yan Youyun only has three daughters, for example, Yang Xuelan has three sons surnamed Xue.
Gu Weijun, the former first person in the diplomacy of the Republic of China, has several sons, and now they are all businessmen, although they are not the kind of billionaires, but they can be regarded as having a small family property.
In Li Feng's view, when the older generation of characters pass away, it is estimated that these families will slowly disperse, perhaps because of this, the annual birthday banquet of the old man Yan Youyun and Mrs. Song will be so lively, and the two can be regarded as the link between these once glorious and prosperous Chinese families.
β¦β¦
"Elder Yan, this is my birthday gift specially prepared for you, I hope you can like it, I wish you happiness such as the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than the old pine of Nanshan!"
After greeting everyone and letting Li Feng see the descendants of the former big family of the Republic of China, Li Feng smiled and began to give gifts, and first received a Chinese figure painting from Joseph behind him, which was the Chinese Chinese painting of the Antarctic fairy Weng offering longevity peaches.
After all, I came to attend a birthday banquet, and gifts always had to be served.
"Oops... ,This painting is good.,Although it's a new painting.,But it should also be the latest work of the master of Chinese painting.,And it's a picture of the old birthday star of the peach Chinese painting.,It's in response to today's scene.,Mr. Li has a heart.γIt's rare.γ Everyone hadn't spoken yet, but Mrs. Song, who was wearing glasses, was the first to speak.
"Elder Yan, there's this.... At this time, Zhou Jiana took a mahogany wooden box from Joseph's hand, handed it to Yang Xuelan with a smile, and smiled respectfully at the old man.
"Oh... , you really have a heart. β
"Hehe, don't open it and take a look..."
"It's... , is it appropriate?"
"Of course..."
ββ¦β
As everyone joked curiously, Yang Xuelan also opened the mahogany box with a smile after winning the nod and consent of the old mother and Li Feng, and then under the light of the lamp, a golden longevity peach appeared in the box.
"Wow..."
"John, isn't this too valuable!"
ββ¦β
β¦β¦
That's right, it is Li Feng who smelted a gold chain to make the golden longevity peach, gold is the most eye-catching everywhere, no, the golden longevity peach has become the focus of the birthday banquet, and many people are staring at Yang Xuelan's first golden longevity peach with red eyes.
"Hehe... It's really not worth a lot of money, it's just a flash. Li Feng responded with a smile.
"Xue Lan, this is also Mr. Li's intention, just accept it. Mrs. Song responded with a smile on the side.
Seeing that her old mother also smiled and nodded to accept it, Yang Xuelan also nodded to Li Feng after hesitating, and then covered the lid of the wooden box and thanked her before handing it over to the maid at home to put away.
"There is also a special gift here, I hope Elder Yan can like it. Seeing that Yang Xuelan collected the golden longevity peach and the old birthday star on behalf of her mother, Li Feng took a carton from Joseph again, and then handed it to Yang Xuelan on the side and said.
"This..."
"Oh... And...?"
ββ¦β
"Don't get me wrong, this is not a valuable thing, I brought it from Huaxia, just a little heart. β
"That..."
"Open it and see what it is. β
ββ¦β
As the old man opened the carton with his own hands, he found that it was some old photos, but as the old man kept flipping through the photos, the old man's hands kept trembling, showing the unrest in the old man's heart.
β¦β¦
"Xiao Feng, I will rely on the old man to call you Xiao Feng, I like this gift very much, thank you, I really have a heart. β
"Hehe... , if you like it, I'll just ask someone to take a few photos. β
ββ¦β
With the circulation of everyone, the people present also knew what Li Feng handed over, it was the old man's old house in the magic capital of China and the photos of the former residence of the old man's diplomat husband Gu Weijun, no wonder the old man was more excited when he saw these photos.
These photos were found by Li Feng to go to the magic capital, some are old photos, it is not easy to find these photos now, fortunately Li Feng's identity is not ordinary now, known as the largest foreign businessman in the magic capital, and the government has also provided a lot of help, so he found a lot of old photos.
