Chapter 473 [New Year's Eve, the comers are not good!]

The Spring Festival, commonly known as the "New Year Festival", is the most grand traditional festival of the Chinese nation.

Since the beginning of the first year of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the first month of the summer year (the lunar calendar) has been taken as the "head of the year" (i.e. the "year"), and the date of the annual festival has been fixed and continues to this day.

Three days passed in a flash, and the people of the whole country ushered in New Year's Eve.

Hanging lanterns and pasting Spring Festival couplets, the rivers and mountains of the motherland are red, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

At dusk, in a golden alley in Yanjing, several ancient quadrangle courtyards left from the Qing Dynasty were pasted with couplets, including the courtyard in the middle of the alley that had been vacant for 18 years.

In the quadrangle courtyard, Pei Wufu, Pei Donglai and his son knelt in the northeast corner and circled two circles in the ground, with fruits, snacks, wine and meat, paper money and firecrackers in front of them.

"Tell your mother and your grandfather to kowtow, and then fire."

When the paper money was about to be burned out, Pei Wufu motioned Pei Dong to set off the cannon.

Pei Dong nodded, kowtowed to the two circles one after another, then closed his eyes, got up, picked up the firecracker, and lit it.

"Crackling..."

The sound of firecrackers broke the silence of the quadrangle courtyard. Pei Donglai looked up at the sky, as if looking for his deceased mother in the sky.

"What are you looking at?"

Pei Wufu was stunned when he saw Pei Dong coming to look at the sky in the northeast and asked.

"My mother's grave should be with Grandpa's, right?"

Pei Dong came to his senses and thought of the dirt bag next to his grandfather's grave, and answered the question.

He would follow Pei Wufu to his grandfather's grave every Tomb-sweeping Day, but at that time, he did not know that it was his own grandfather who was buried in the inconspicuous earthen bag - last May. Pei Donglai learned the fact that Pei Wufu was his biological father.

"Hmm."

Pei Wufu nodded and admitted.

Seeing Pei Wufu nodding, Pei Donglai had no reason to think that his mother had been driven out of the Ye family and was not allowed to be buried in the Ye family cemetery. He secretly clenched his fist and narrowed his eyes.

"Let's go, the Qin family is waiting for us."

Pei Wufu seemed to guess Pei Donglai's intention and patted Pei Donglai on the shoulder.

Pei Donglai nodded silently. He adjusted his expression and followed Pei Wufu out of the courtyard.

......

After leaving the alley that many dignitaries dreamed of moving in, Pei Donglai drove Pei Wufu to another alley in Yanjing City, which symbolizes power and the threshold is not lower than the royal garden - in that alley contains the houses of the Qin family, the Ye family and several other rich families of the capital.

When night is about to fall. Pei Donglai drove to the entrance of the alley and was strictly inspected by the Zhongnanhai bodyguard.

The examination took two minutes, and after two minutes. The leading Zhongnanhai bodyguard saluted and let him go.

Compared with previous years, on New Year's Eve, this alley is more deserted. In addition to the fact that the Ye family did not choose to spend the New Year in the quadrangle courtyard in this alley, some families close to the Ye family have also chosen to spend the New Year elsewhere.

At the gate of the quadrangle courtyard of the Qin family, Qin Dongxue, under the leadership of her father Qin Zheng and mother Xiao Ailing, waited for the arrival of the father and son of the Pei family.

Soon, the car drove to the gate of the Qin family compound, and Pei Donglai and Pei Wufu got out of the car one after another.

With the light at the gate of the compound, you can see it clearly. On this special night, Pei Donglai wore the Zhongshan suit that Liu Yue had asked someone to help him tailor, while Pei Wufu was wearing a black robe, just like when he was in the Yongchunmen Martial Arts Museum that day. Just like an ancient martial artist.

"Wufu."

"In-laws."

"Uncle Pei."

Seeing Pei Wufu get out of the car, Qin Zheng and Xiao Ailing hurriedly took Qin Dongxue to say hello.

Pei Wufu responded with a smile, and Pei Donglai also said hello, "Uncle Qin, Aunt Xiao."

"Wufu, the old man learned that you and Donglai were coming. I couldn't be happy, so I pushed off the arrangement of going out.

Qin Zheng said and led the way in front of him. As he walked, he smiled at Pei Wufu and said, "Everyone is waiting for you and the east to come. Let's go in first."

"Mr. Qin is too popular." Pei Wufu responded with a smile.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "It should be. It's rare for you to bring Dong to the Spring Festival."

Qin Zheng's words sounded in his ear. Pei Donglai had no reason to remember that after he entered the Yanjing Hotel alone in advance that day, including the old man of the Qin family, many Qin family's faces understood in his heart that if he did not have Pei Wufu's father, not to mention that Qin Hongshan, the head of the Le's work arrangement, whether he can enter the Qin family quadrangle courtyard for the Spring Festival is a problem.

As Qin Zheng said, there are six tables in the lobby of the Qin family courtyard. Many members of the Qin family, including Qin Hongshan, have been waiting for a long time.

"Wow!"

Seeing that Qin Zheng took Pei Donglai and Pei Wufu into the lobby, under the leadership of Qin Hongshan, all the Qin family stood up and welcomed.

Among them, Qin Hongshan greeted Pei Wufu with a smile. As he walked, he said, "Wufu, you have finally come from the east."

"Sorry, Uncle Qin, I wasted some time burning paper for his grandfather and his mother." Pei Wufu apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Hongshan waved his hand and said, "Come on, come and sit down with Dong."

When Pei Wufu heard the words, he was not polite and took Pei Dong directly to the main table.

In addition to Qin Hongshan, there are three generations of core members of the Qin family, such as Qin Zheng and Qin Feng. Qin Yan, Qin Dongxue's aunt, is not qualified to sit at the main table at all, and even the wives of Qin Feng and others are not qualified to sit at the main table, only Xiao Ailing.

But...

Exception this year, Qin Dongxue, who used to sit at the outermost table with other fourth-generation members of the Qin family, also has a seat on the main table.

All this is because she became Pei Donglai's fiancee, to be precise, she became the daughter-in-law of the Pei family.

Then, in the envious expressions of those members of the third and fourth generations of the Qin family, the father and son of the Pei family followed Qin Hongshan. Among them, Pei Wufu sat next to Qin Hongshan, and Pei Donglai sat in the direction closest to the door with Qin Dongxue, with a clear seat.

After sitting down. Pei Donglai did not care about the envious and jealous eyes of the Qin family members, nor did he care about the false smiles of the Qin family members, but smiled and said hello to Qin Yan, who was sitting at table 2.

The reason for this is that he knew that before Pei Wufu appeared, Qin Yan was the only person in the whole Qin family who really supported him and Qin Dongxue together.

And others, including Qin Hongshan, turned the wind to the rudder because of the word 'interest'.

Follow the crowd to sit down. The dishes made by the royal chefs were served on the table one after another.

"The Spring Festival is coming, and it is time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Let's raise our glasses together.

When the dishes were served, Qin Dongxue did not ask Pei Dong to pour wine, but personally poured wine for the people on the main table. Qin Hongshan proposed to raise his glass, "The first glass of wine, welcome Wufu and Dong to celebrate the New Year with us!"

Hearing Qin Hongshan's words, the fourth generation members of the Qin family were slightly stunned, as if... They didn't expect that Qin Hongshan's first drink party was to raise their glasses on the grounds of welcoming the father and son of the Pei family - this treatment was too heavy!

Compared with the fourth generation of members of the Qin family, the third generation of members of the Qin family have experienced more things, know more inside stories, and the city government is deeper and more far-sighted. I don't think it's strange.

"Second cup, congratulations to Donglai and Dongxue again. I wish you an early wedding!"

A glass of wine, Qin Hongshan proposed a second cup.

This time, it is not only the fourth generation of members of the Qin family. Even many of the members of the three generations were a little surprised. In addition to being surprised, they had to admit the fact that the Pei family teenager who was regarded as the grass-roots of the Qin family at the beginning, who was regarded as the root of the Qin family changed and had become the existence that wanted Qin Dongxue and even the Qin family to climb high!

Although this is a little ironic, it is a fact that cannot be changed!

"Thank you, Grandpa Qin."

Pei Donglai and Qin Dongxue thanked him together. In his heart, he secretly lamented that Qin Hongshan could become one of the bosses at the top of the power pyramid. In addition to the foundation laid by the first generation of the Qin family, he fully played the thick black learning.

"The third glass of wine, I wish you all good health and success in your work in the new year." Qin Hongshan proposed to hold three cups in a row before he took a seat.

After three glasses of wine, everyone first ate some dishes, and then began to enter the process of toasting and blessing. First, the core members of the Qin family and Pei Wufu and Pei Donglai on the main table toasted Qin Hongshan, and then the other members of the Qin family toasted Qin Hongshan.

Perhaps because there were too many people toasting, or maybe for other reasons, Qin Hongshan only drank it when Pei Wufu and Pei Donglai toasted, and the others just took a sip of the toast.

After toasting Qin Hongshan, everyone toasted to Pei Wufu one after another. Pei Wufu did not refuse and did it every time.

Even so, more than an hour later, when the reunion dinner was coming to an end, Pei Wufu's face did not change his color and he was not drunk at all.

It's not only Pei Wufu, but also Pei Donglai, who has drunk hundreds of glasses of wine, is very sober.

After Qin Hongshan announced that the reunion dinner was over, before everyone got up and left, a Zhongnanhai bodyguard who had been waiting outside the door for a long time entered the lobby, went straight to Qin Hongshan, leaned over, and whispered to Qin Hongshan, "Supres, Major General Ye Gucheng waited outside the courtyard with a foreigner See Pei Wufu.

"Oh?"

When Qin Hongshan heard the words, he frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. He said to Pei Wufu, who had not yet got up, "Wufu, Ye Gucheng brought a foreigner to see you. Do you see?"

Ye Gucheng?

Foreigners?!

Hearing Qin Hongshan's words, Pei Dong, who was going to leave with Qin Dongxue, moved his heart and looked at Pei Wufu.

"I'll go out and have a look."

Pei Wufu's eyes flashed and he wanted to get up.

"Wufu, don't go out. Just let them in." Qin Hongshan thought about it.

"Good."

Pei Wufu pondered a little and agreed to Qin Hongshan's proposal.

After half a minute.

While Pei Donglai, Pei Wufu and all the members of the Qin family waited, Ye Gucheng entered the lobby with a foreign middle-aged man in a black robe.

Prince Dekula?!

Seeing that Dekura, one of the four princes of the divine network, followed Ye Gucheng into the door. Pei Donglai was stunned at first, and then realized something, and his face couldn't help changing... The wind and clouds rise again, a new week, the old rules, a free recommendation ticket for each person, don't forget to vote~.
