According to the customs of Country Z, not only the noble families, but even the ordinary people are extremely particular when eating New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival.
Eat the New Year’s Eve dinner slowly.
The longer you eat it, the better.
It means: reunion, harmony and longevity.
However, the Pei family’s New Year’s Eve dinner today did not last long.
It was over in less than an hour.
The cause was that Pei Yucheng suddenly received a phone call, then left the table and went upstairs to the study.
At that time, Pei Yucheng instructed: "Eat slowly, I have something to do, so I'll go to the study."
Can we still have the New Year's Eve dinner if the head of the household isn't here?!
Less than ten minutes after Pei Yucheng went upstairs, Pei Quyan gave an order, asking the Pei residence's housekeeper to send servants to remove all the dishes.
Today was the fifteenth day of the lunar year, and Ji Niancheng was supposed to be resting and not have any classes. However, before Pei Yucheng went upstairs, he inexplicably returned and instructed the Pei residence's housekeeper to have the etiquette teacher give Ji Niancheng a two-hour lesson in Pei family etiquette after dinner.
Ji Yuqi didn't think it was a big deal.
After all, the rules of this wealthy and prestigious family are already complicated and numerous.
Ji Yuqi never stopped even when he was eighteen years old.
After learning the etiquette of your family, you also need to learn the etiquette of other ethnic groups.
However, when Ji Niancheng heard this, he felt so wronged that he almost cried, and protested directly: "Grandpa said that I have a day off today and don't need to learn anything. After dinner, he also wants to take me to the backyard to set off fireworks."
Pei Yucheng's expression turned bad at that moment: "You can choose not to learn. As the direct heir of the Pei family, I will respect any decision you make."
Pei Yucheng's words were so profound.
It is clear that every word and sentence demonstrates democracy.
However, the words "direct heir of the Pei family" alone are full of endless threats.
Afterwards, Pei Yucheng went upstairs without looking back.
Ji Yuqi was sitting at the dining table at the time, looking at Ji Niancheng with his ears twitching, red eyes and a pouting mouth in grievance. For the first time, he felt: Being Pei Yucheng's son is really miserable.
Having such a strong father who doesn't tolerate any criticism.
At that time, even if Pei Quyan wanted to say something, but Pei Yucheng had already said the word "respect", how could he dare to persuade him?!
Pei Quyan could only comfort Ji Niancheng: "It's okay, after the etiquette class, grandpa will take my precious grandson to set off fireworks."
Ji Niancheng pouted and said, "Stinky dad, I don't like him anymore."
As he spoke, Ji Niancheng suddenly turned his head and said to Ji Yuqi, "Mom, how did you choose a father for me back then?! You didn't even open your eyes and choose carefully. Can I go back to your belly and let you help me choose a father again?! The kind that won't abuse and exploit me?"
Before Ji Yuqi could reply, Pei Yucheng's deep voice came from the direction of the stairs, coldly saying, "It's too late, Ji Niancheng."
“…” Ji Yuqi.
Ji Niancheng was eventually taken away.
Ji Yuqi saw the boy following behind Pei's housekeeper. Although he didn't cry and was very well behaved, his nose tip was red and even every strand of his hair looked aggrieved. Ji Yuqi felt really distressed.
She kept saying, "Chengcheng, be good and study hard. Mommy will help you set off fireworks later."
After Ji Niancheng left, Ji Yuqi felt a little awkward standing in the hall with Pei Quyan and Pei Huaijin, so he simply accompanied the old lady of the Pei family for a walk to help digest the food.
This was Ji Yuqi's first time visiting Pei's residence, so naturally he was not familiar with the structure of the residence.
So no matter where he went, the old lady of the Pei family would help Ji Yuqi introduce people.
"Do you see the forest not far away over there?!" asked the old lady of the Pei family.
