Chapter 399: Old days

The anger that originally arose because Pei Yi went back to the imperial capital without being obedient, and deliberately changed the time for school exercise registration, disappeared the moment he saw his grandson.
This is the child he brought up with one hand. He is not willing to be angry for too long even if he is angry.
"Drink tea? I asked Kobayashi to make a pot of tea."
Mr. Pei loves cigarettes, wine, and tea, and regards these three as the top priority, and the family is not allowed to touch them.
After he got older, due to physical reasons, Mrs. Pei and the family hoped that he would stop touching cigarettes and alcohol, and he would spend more time drinking tea.
He usually keeps the real good tea, and he is not willing to drink it when it is important.
"I got a little red robe last time, only that, you can try it." Father Pei pinched his fingers and made a gesture, Pei Yi said:
"Isn't there a wine hidden in Grandpa's cabinet?"
Father Pei was stunned.
After he was in poor health, he was forbidden to drink at home, but the old habits were difficult to change. He took out a small space behind the cabinet in his study and filled it with a good bottle of wine. Usually, he secretly drinks a little while there is no one.
Pei Yi has been favored by him since he was a child. His secret family does not know, but Pei Yi does.
Hearing his grandson said he wanted to drink, Mr. Pei looked at him for a long while, his mouth was smiling, but his eyes were firm, and he did not intend to change his mind. In the eyes of Mr. Pei, no matter how old he grows, he is like the one who was once caught. He holds the child in the palm of his hand, so he decides everything for him and makes decisions for him.
Now he wants to drink tea with him, but he offered to drink, because he wants to express to himself, has he grown up?
Father Pei smiled and turned to get the wine glass.
He opened a thick hollowed-out dictionary and took out a small box inside. There were just two wine glasses in it, each of which contained just enough wine for two sips.
In order to make it easy for him to hide, the wine glasses at home are not big, small and exquisite, and can be held in his palm.
Father Pei took out the wine glass, washed in the bathroom, and wiped the things dry. His face showed a painful color. After hesitating for a while, he finally rubbed his hands, took all the books on the shelf, and finally took out a wine bottle. :
"Thirty years ago, my grandfather's old friend gave it to him. I usually don't want to touch it. No one will give it."
The wine bottle was tightly sealed, sealed with wax, to avoid ‘running,’ the bottle body was touched brightly, and it looked like it hadn’t been opened for so many years.
The appearance of the bottle is not amazing, even a bit rustic, but it can be seen that it is old.
Grandpa Pei was holding the wine bottle, looking sad: "Grandpa, an old friend, has long been buried in the soil."
He was cruel and melted the sealing wax on the bottle, before opening the cork, the aroma of wine drifted into Pei Yi's nose.
Father Pei suddenly seemed to be ten years old. He was holding the bottle, somewhat weak:
"This wine bottle was given by your Grandpa Zhang. You may not know this person yet."
He sighed, sat down, and opened the bottle. The wine had been stored for many years. The liquid was amber-like in color, like honey, and it was already thick and fragrant.
"At that time, the invaders invaded, and the country was in a precarious situation. I was just twenty-three or four at the time, just like your age." Elder Pei said here, took a look at Pei Yi, and poured a seven-point-full cup. , Pushed to Pei Yi:
"The scene at that meeting, Ayi, is beyond your imagination."
Elder Pei smiled, and slowly sat on the other side of the sofa, talking face to face with his grandson.
"Now that you have grown up, Grandpa doesn't want to talk to you about school, but he only asks you about drills and wants to talk to you about other things."
He raised his leg and reached out to touch the short box on the sofa, which contained a box of cigars. He took one out and sniffed:
"Do you know how grandpa married grandma?"
Pei Yi shook his head. He only knew that his grandmother was from Shanghai, from a famous family, and had many relatives in the family. Every time he went back to Shanghai when he was young, his family always liked him very much.
To be able to marry the old lady Pei who is of good background, the old Pei who pays attention to the family background will naturally not be born too low, and he is even more prominent than the old lady.
Mr. Pei was originally from Tianjin. Mr. Pei’s grandfather was a powerful adviser to the Regent Liu Charter in the late Qing Dynasty. He was later transferred to the Governor of Liangjiang, governing Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Anhui, and at the same time governing Nanjing, and also the minister of Beiyang, governing foreign affairs, and establishing navy and army. , The purchase of coal and iron, telegraph, steamship, drama and other enterprises, which have developed in Tianjin for many years, are powerful, and the Pei family quickly took root.
Under such circumstances, although Mrs. Pei had a good background, she was slightly inferior to the Pei family.
When Father Pei was young, he was the son of Pei's family. There were more women who wanted to marry him than crucian carp who crossed the river.
When he was young, the court was prominent, most of the celebrities who came and went were noble women of various races, and many people were vying to be a matchmaker for him in front of the then old lady Pei.
Under such circumstances, China Xia presents an extremely complicated situation that year, the high gates are still prosperous, and even the economy presents an unusual and rapid development state.
The invaders have coveted this fertile land and have already looked forward to it. The three provinces have been in the trend of being occupied, and the people there are living in dire straits.
Under the rule of Mr. Pei, the singing and dancing became peaceful, the extreme prosperity and war were mixed together, from the mouth of Mr. Pei, like a picture scroll, slowly unfolded in front of Pei Yi.
"At this time, a friend of mine Zhang Yiping came to visit me." At this point, the old man Pei said, leaning back on the sofa chair, and the whole person was lost in memory: "He is seven years older than me, he was when I was studying in Beiping. Old acquaintance, very literary, is the secretary-general of Wenwushan in Shanghai, who advises him~EbookFREE.me~ Father Pei holding a cigar, looking at Pei Yi smiling, Pei Yi said:
"The great-grandfather?"
Mrs. Pei’s maiden name was Wen, and her family was in charge of the affairs of foreign firms and compradors in Shanghai, and she was very rich.
"Yes, the door of my Pei's house is not so easy to enter, A Yi." Old man Pei smiled, "He came as an old friend of mine, and he mentioned such a pot of wine. I talked about my marriage."
Mr. Pei was born too high and he is the eldest son. The family expects a lot of him. His marriage is still undecided. He is the wishful husband-in-law of the ladies and ladies.
Although the literary family is rich, it is too low to match the Pei family.
To say something that seemed rebellious at that time, the Pei family was in the land of two rivers, like the emperor who covered the sky with one hand.
At that time, the late Qing Dynasty had existed in name only, and the warlords in various regions had separate regimes, and it was difficult to restrict the locality. The Pei family was the sky on that day, and the Wen family Ren Yangxing comprador, in the eyes of the Pei family at the time, was tantamount to being a minister and did not match. .
