Chapter 274 [Famous Capital] one
In the past two days, Fan Xian has not received any news from Chen Fan.
This is not to say that the Fan family's intelligence network is not strong enough, on the contrary, with the Fan family's energy in Yanjing, it is not difficult to investigate a person's identity and background in two days.
Chen Fan's file is a six-star secret, and there are only a handful of people who can see it, not to mention Fan Xian, even if it is the head of the Fan family, I am afraid that he is not qualified to investigate.
Of course, Chen Fan has done a lot of things in the East China Sea, and if Fan Xian has more time, he can indeed investigate clearly.
But......... Two days is too short.
The strength of the Fan family is not in the East China Sea, Fan Xian can only ask someone to investigate, and it is the Spring Festival, where the family is a little red, entertainment, visits, and gifts are commonplace, in such a situation, several young people in the East China Sea who promised Fan Xian to help investigate did not pay attention to the investigation, which directly led to the fact that two days passed, and Fan Xian did not get any useful information.
It made him anxious. All this is only because of Chen Fan's cruel words, he is afraid that Chen Fan will put his cruel words into action.
In such a situation, he almost went to find Emperor Yan Qing, "He knew that Emperor Yan Qing was going to marry Chen Ning, the fourth generation of the Chen family, but he finally gave up this plan.
He knew very well that if he went to disturb Emperor Yan Qing at this time, he would undoubtedly find death by touching a stone!
After all, he knew very well what it meant for Emperor Yan Qing and Chen Ning to marry Emperor Yan Qing and the entire Yan family.
In general, the atmosphere in the compound of the military district is always extremely serious and gives a depressing feeling.
However, on the day of the 30th funeral, the entire military compound was filled with a jubilant atmosphere, red lanterns could be seen everywhere, Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the doors of every household, and children could occasionally be seen firing guns.
When Fan Xian was worried about whether Chen Fan would attack suddenly, Chen Fan had been accompanying Chen Zhanfu and Mrs. Chen with Susan in the military compound for the past two days.
During this time, no one bothered.
Until the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the arrival of Chen Jianguo, the contemporary head of the Chen family, "changed all that."
For the Chinese people, the significance of the Spring Festival is self-evident, many people who work hard outside the country, in addition to maintaining a normal life, before the Chinese New Year, do not hesitate to squeeze the train and wade thousands of kilometers home, just to have a reunion dinner with their families.
Chen Jianguo's purpose in going to the Yanjing Military Region was very simple: to invite Mrs. Chen and Chen Fan's family to have a reunion dinner together tonight.
Chen Jianguo, who has the rank of general and has a lot of power in the Military Commission, came in a long red flag, and he wore a military uniform as before, and even a hat, dressed like a standard soldier.
Originally, although he was a representative of the real power faction of the Military Commission, "on such a special day, he could not wear a military uniform at all, but he ............ When he came to the military compound to see Mrs. Chen, he naturally didn't dare to wear other clothes.
Old lady Chen's guard Xiao Zhuzi is no stranger to Chen Jianguo, on the contrary, the two often meet, seeing Chen Jianguo walking out of the extended red flag, Xiao Zhu greeted him and saluted: "Chief, Happy New Year." β
"Little pillar, you are the same, Happy New Year." Chen Jianguo smiled faintly, "Simply returned a salute."
Thank you, Chief. Xiao Zhu smiled innocently, and then said, "The old chief guessed that you were coming, and I have been waiting for a long time, so you can go in." β
Well?
Stunned to hear Xiao Zhuzi's words, Chen Jianguo's heart moved, and a bad intuition surged out at the moment.
Then, he smiled, didn't say anything, and walked straight into the most dilapidated courtyard of this military compound.
Although it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Old Lady Chen's schedule did not change in the slightest, nine o'clock to eleven o'clock was his special time, but the difference was that today he made a few bottles of special Maotai and a dry tobacco, and spent two hours in the study alone talking to himself.
Chen Jianguo, who knew the special time period of Old Lady Chen, stuck the time very well, "When he entered the study, it was exactly ten o'clock at eleven o'clock," Old Lady Chen had already finished talking to himself.
In the study, there was a strong smell of alcohol and cigarettes, and Old Lady Chen's face was red and slightly drunk, but, "...... But he couldn't hide the tears left on his flecked face, "Dad." Seeing this scene, Chen Jianguo naturally knew what Old Lady Chen had done before, and couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward to support Old Lady Chen.
With Chen Jianguo's support, Old Lady Chen slowly sat up straight, and said lukewarmly: "You are here to ask me to come over for dinner in the evening, right?" β
"Hmm." Chen Jianguo nodded, and said quietly: "It just so happens that Xiaofan is back this year, and the family is all together, so you can have a lively and lively New Year." β
"Don't pull the tiger skin of Xiaofan to pull the flag, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set!" Hearing Chen Jianguo's words, Old Lady Chen scolded angrily.
Chen Jianguo, who was taught by Mrs. Chen, who was over half a hundred years old and had a heavy job, was like a child, standing up straight, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.
"You go back, we won't go there in the evening." Seeing that Chen Jianguo didn't speak, Mrs. Chen issued an order to evict customers.
Chen Jianguo did not leave immediately, but looked embarrassed: "Dad, ......, only" Jianguo, you should know that in recent years, the little warlord fΓΉ went to you for the New Year, right?" Old Lady Chen sneered: "Hey! Everyone thinks I'm old and confused, and I can't see anything, but Lao Tzu has lived for almost a hundred years, and he doesn't know anything? Your unscrupulous descendants are his mother's heavy positions, and they have a lot of power in their hands. But damn it, without Lao Tzu laying a foundation for them, can they have today? β
"Back then, Lao Tzu asked the third generation of unscrupulous descendants to go to the battlefield to hone and experience what war is, but except for small wars, no one took the initiative to ask for war......... Old lady Chen said word by word: "Xiao Zhan is willing to give up his good future and give up his dreams for the sake of Yaling, I also feel a little pity, but to be honest, among the third generation of grandchildren, the only one I appreciate is him!" Those unscrupulous descendants secretly say that Xiao Zhan is the waste of the Chen family, hey, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, they are the ones who the hell are the ones who lost my old Chen family! β
"Alas, these old things, Lao Tzu is too lazy to mention them, you just have to know them yourself." Old Lady Chen seemed to feel bored in the end, stopped, shook his head and said: "Xiaofan, this child has suffered a lot over the years, and he finally came back for the next year, I can't let him worry about it." So, don't say anything, I can't go to your side tonight" I had fun with Xiaofan and them. β
Chen Jianguo's face was ugly, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
"But...... Tomorrow Ning Yatou will marry, and my old bones will be used to cheer her up, well, in the fourth well, in addition to Xiaofan, Ning Yatou is also a bit like the old Chen family. It's just that...... It's a pity to marry that kid from the Yan family.
However, since you have no opinion on being a grandfather, I don't bother to care about this old bone. β
In the end, Chen Jianguo still left, "When he left, his face was quite ugly, and his brows were furrowed.
He didn't say hello to Chen Fan's family, "On the one hand, he is greater than Chen Fan's family in terms of seniority, and secondly, Mrs. Chen is unwilling to go to him for the New Year because of Chen Fan's family of four, which makes him a little depressed."
Mrs. Chen only had two sons in his life, the eldest son was Chen Jianguo, and the younger son was Chen Fan's grandfather, who died on the battlefield that year.
As the only surviving son of Mrs. Chen, Chen Jianguo has carried forward the tradition of inheritance well, and he has a total of four sons and two daughters, of which the eldest son and the second son are in the military, "The third son, the fourth son, the eldest daughter, and the youngest daughter are all in politics, all of whom are holding important positions, including two generals and two provincial and ministerial levels."
And there are even more of his grandchildren, Chen Fei, who has the best mix, has now reached the Zhengmei level, and it won't be long before he will be at the deputy ministerial level, "There are not a few other section and department levels, and most of them are in the party and government departments, and it is only a matter of time before they rise."
The most special one is Chen Ning.
Chen Ning, who was born only three days later than Chen Fan, "did not enter politics, but joined the army, and not as a literary soldier, on the contrary, she chose the coolest, most tiring and most unsuitable Marine for girls!!
Chen Fan knows everything about the Chen family, so he ...... When he knew that the old lady did not go to Chen Jianguo's side for dinner for the sake of his family, his heart was full of emotion.
The same is true for Chen Zhanfu.
Although the two of them didn't have much of an opinion on going to Chen Jianguo's place for dinner, it was a matter of course, they didn't care about the so-called cynicism, especially Chen Zhan, if he cared, he wouldn't give up his military career in order to take care of Sun Yaling!
In fact, behind the ridicule, every Chen family member knows very well that with Old Lady Chen's cultivation of Chen Zhan and Chen Zhan's own ability and efforts, if Chen Zhan does not give up his military career, it is very likely that the third generation will become the head of the Chen family!
In a sense, behind the ridicule also hides an unknown envy and jealousy.
Compared to the three of them, Susan didn't know all this.
She instinctively thought that the Chen family only had the old lady, her parents-in-law and Chen Fan......
In such a situation, she does not have any ideological baggage, in the evening while eating reunion dinner, while watching the Spring Festival party, she became the main force of the active atmosphere, after eating a meal, the old lady was happy, Chen Zhanfu fΓΉ also because the family was finally reunited, did not think too much about those trivial things.
Compared with the harmonious atmosphere on Chen Fan's side, on Chen Jianguo's side, although dozens of people from the family gathered together, during the reunion dinner, Chen Jianguo kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
In front of Old Lady Chen, Chen Jianguo didn't dare to show the slightest aura of a superior, and he couldn't come out, but ...... In the Chen family, outside, as the real power boss of the Military Commission, once he put on a straight face, he has a posture of not being angry and arrogant.
For this reason, Chen Jianguo, who is an elder, did not speak, and others naturally did not dare to speak, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Other people also knew that Mrs. Chen, who had come to have a reunion dinner in previous years, did not come over because of Chen Fan's return, and felt depressed and extremely angry at the same time.
Especially Chen Fei, who was jealous of Chen Fan's ability to win the favor of Mrs. Chen, and later had a holiday with Chen Fan!
It's just that people, including his father, uncles, aunts and the like, dare not speak up, and he, a junior, naturally does not dare to express his dissatisfaction on such an occasion.
Because Chen Jianguo has been keeping a straight face, no one dared to come forward to toast throughout the night, and when the reunion dinner was about to end, Chen Jianguo took the initiative to pick up a glass of wine, and raised his glass to Chen Ning, who was sitting on the outermost periphery, and said: "Ning girl, tomorrow is the day of your marriage, grandpa, I wish you a happy life." β
Stunned to hear Chen Jianguo's words, Chen Ning, who was dressed in military uniform, quickly got up, picked up the wine glass with both hands, looked at Chen Jianguo respectfully and slightly with a little feeling, and bowed: "Thank you, grandpa." β
After that, the two of them drank it all together.
"Ning girl, the old man said, you will marry tomorrow, and he will come to the scene in person!" With a glass of wine in his stomach, Chen Jianguo spoke again.
The old lady is here in person!
As soon as Chen Jianguo's words came out, the audience was satisfied.
Especially those people of the fourth generation of the Chen family, they all looked at Chen Ning with envy.
Facing the envious gazes of those brothers and sisters around him, Chen Ning's serious, mΓ face also rarely showed a bright smile.
A smile fell into the city.
With the title of the first gold huΔ in the army, she has laughed a handful of times in her life.
She smiled violently, like a peony in full bloom, and a smile fell over the city.
Because she knew that since the old lady would come, then the cousin she had admired since she was a child would definitely come!!
