In the capital, the Fang family can only be regarded as a xiǎoménxiǎo household.

Fang Nanguo's old father Fang Yunshu used to work in the Central Office, and was assigned to a set of old-style courtyard houses with a small area, divided into two courtyards, the backyard lived Fang Nanguo's family, the front yard is a guest room and a nanny room, and there are a lot of huā grass carp insects in both yards, and there are seven or eight old trees with mottled bark.

Zeng Yi stepped forward and rang the mén bell, and not long after, someone pulled open the big mén of the courtyard, glanced at Zeng Yi, smiled on his face, and asked, "You are Director Zeng, right?" ”

Zeng Yi nodded and said with a smile: "It's me!" ”

The man immediately opened the mén wider, stretched out his hand and said, "Director Zeng, please come in, Secretary Fang has already ordered, saying that Director Zeng will come over today, and I have been waiting." ”

"Thank you!" Zeng Yi said politely.

"What's so hard, my job is to serve the leader!" The man smiled and led the way.

Walking through the promenade full of grapevines, the two walked into the courtyard behind, Tang Haoran was standing in front of the green huā big fish tank in the middle of the yard with a ten-year-old NV child, holding fish food in his hand, not knowing what they were talking about, and laughter came from time to time.

"Zeng Yi!" When Tang Haoran saw Zeng Yi, he put the fish food in his hand on the edge of the tank, took two steps up, and said, "Let me introduce you, this is ......."

Zeng Yi stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It must be Secretary Fang's daughter, Sister Fang Chenying!" ”

Fang Chenying tilted her head slightly, with a smile in her eyes, as if she wanted to unravel a mess, she looked at Zeng Yi for a long time before she stretched out her hand and shook Zeng Yi shallowly, "I've heard of you a long time ago, my father usually mentions you a lot, and always uses you as an example to educate me." ”

Zeng Yi smiled, "That's really embarrassing, I guess your ears hate me to death!" ”

Fang Chenying spread out her hands, "Yes, they have all grown calluses, listen to my father at home, and listen to Enxi when I get to school!" ”

"Sister Cui Xiǎo is doing lately?" Zeng Yi asked.

"It's fine!" Fang Chenying smiled, "She is now a big fan of yours, and she is ready to take Chinese medicine." ”

"Say hello to her on my behalf!" Zeng Yi's persistence and persistence in Cui Enxi left a deep impression, if he really went to study Chinese medicine, maybe he could learn a good one.

At this time, Fang Nanguo's voice came from the house, "Zeng Yi is back?" Come on in! ”

Zeng Yi responded, and then followed Fang Chenying in, Tang Haoran didn't go in, saying that he was going to smoke outside.

The furnishings in the room are all antique, there are no valuable ornaments, but the style is not low, there are a few shallow sofas in the living room, Fang Nanguo is sitting there with his old father chatting, Feng Yiqin is not there, probably going to do something else.

Fang Nanguo said to his old father: "This is the Zeng Yi who often mentions it to you." ”

Fang Yunshu was full of silver hair, but he looked like he was dignified, and his face was red, and he smiled at Zeng Yi and said, "Sure enough, he is young and promising, and his temperament is good, sit down!" You don't have to be restrained at home, you can feel more comfortable. ”

Fang Chenying pointed to the sofa on the side and said, "My grandfather is actually very kind, you just sit here, I'll pour water for you!" ”

Zeng Yi smiled, put the medical box at his feet, and then sat on the sofa.

"Listen to Nanguo, the injury on his back was healed by you, and he has such a clever medical skill at a young age, it's amazing!" Fang Yunshu smiled heartily, "When I was working in the Central Office, I had fought with many national players, but they also had nothing to do about the old injuries of the southern country. ”

Zeng Yi smiled, "The old man praised it falsely, how can I compare to the national player, in fact, it is some family heirloom medical skills, and there are just some ways to treat old injuries!" ”

Fang Yunshu looked at Zeng Yi carefully, and couldn't help but bow slightly, this young man is very amazing, he doesn't have the arrogance of those young people now, even compared to Fang Nanguo back then, it is also better. Fang Nanguo is the pride of Old Man Fang, the Fang family actually does not have any outstanding capital, and the help that Fang Yunshu can provide to Fang Nanguo in his career is also minimal, but Fang Nanguo is from the son of a xiǎoménxiǎo household to become a feudal official, which is very rare in the domestic officialdom.

At present, there is further hope for Nanguo, if it succeeds, it will enter the central sequence, when Fang Nanguo entered the office, Fang Yunshu didn't expect his son to go so far.

Of course, he also understood how difficult it was, and what he didn't expect was that whether Fang Nanguo could go further this time had a lot to do with the young man in front of him, and he smiled: "Don't just sit, come, eat dates!" This jujube is picked from the jujube tree in the yard, it is very fresh, and the taste is much better than the jujube outside. ”

"Thank you, old man!" Zeng Yi was not polite, he picked up a bright red jujube with a smile and took a bite, sure enough, it tasted very good, "July 15 jujube red circle, August 15 jujube fell on the pole", this jujube is indeed fresh.

"This date tree must be decades old, right?" Fang Yunshu asked Fang Nanguo.

Fang Nanguo smiled faintly, "Yes, when I used to work below, every year you would beat the dates, dry them and send them to me." ”

"Time flies!" Fang Yunshu laughed twice, "At that time, you were Zeng Yi's age. ”

Zeng Yi watched the two fathers and sons chatting and reminiscing about the happy times in the past, and his heart was a little sour, in his memory, there was no father.

After chatting in the living room for a while, Fang Nanguo stood up, Zeng Yi knew that he had something to say to himself, and followed him into the study on the side, Fang Chenying chatted with his grandfather in the living room.

Entering the study, Fang Nanguo sat down with Zeng Yi, chōu took out a cigarette and slowly lit it, and asked, "Is Zhai Lao's body okay?" ”

"Very healthy!" Zeng Yi said.

Fang Nanguo bowed slightly, "This is a good thing, Elder Zhai is here, and the army's jīng spirit is there." ”

"There are a lot of people visiting during the holidays, I don't dare to delay his old man's time, I will go to see him in two days, General Zhang will notify him after the arrangement."

Fang Nanguo knew how to arrange the itinerary for the next few days, this time when he returned to the capital, he had a lot of people to visit, but Zhai Lao must be in the first place, if he wanted to enter the sequence, without the support of the military, he didn't have to think about it, if Zhai Lao wanted to meet him, he would definitely have to push off other visit arrangements.

"I'll be busier these days, let Chenying lead you and Haoran for a walk in the capital, you young people are more comfortable going out to play!" When Fang Nanguo went to visit those big people, it was naturally impossible to take the secretary with him.

The person who brought Zeng Yi in before knocked on the people in the study at this time, and when he heard Fang Nanguo say please come in, he pushed Mén in and said, "Secretary Fang, there is a young man outside Mén, who said that he came to find Zeng Yi." ”

Fang Nanguo smiled, waved his hand and said, "You go!" You've got a lot of friends, and they've all come to me when you're looking for you. ”

Zeng Yi followed the man out of Mén, and there was a military jeep parked outside Mén, which was also wearing the sign of Military A, Zeng Yi thought to himself that it would be Lieutenant Colonel Wang who really sent him a car.

"Zeng Yi!" Someone shouted in the distance, and I saw a captain officer walking out of the supermarket at the mouth of the alley with a bottle of drink in his hand.

"Haha, it's you!" Zeng Yi hurriedly greeted him, "How did you find this place!" ”

Zhai Haohui is obviously much stronger than half a year ago, and he is also a god, he slapped a hammer on Zeng Yi's shoulder, "I'm looking for you, that's not a piece of dish!" I heard Lao Zhang say that you have arrived in the capital, I will kill you immediately, and I will give you a pick-up at night, I have already made an appointment with Meixin. ”

"Let's go, let's go rest for a while and drink some water."

Zeng Yi led Zhai Haohui into Fang Nanguo's house, introduced him to Tang Haoran and Fang Chenying, and went to say hello to Fang Nanguo.

Fang Nanguo naturally would not object, and said, "Then you can go!" ”

Zhai Haohui is now working in the General Staff, this is what Zhai Lao means, staying in the capital is to hope that Zhai Haohui can recuperate as soon as possible, and only hang the rank of captain, in order to facilitate him to go down to the grassroots level to exercise in the future, the military rank is low, so that he can get in touch with the front-line soldiers, the three generations of the Zhai family, all started from the big head soldiers.

"Let's go together!" Zhai Haohui invited, "There are more people and it is lively." ”

Fang Chenying smiled and nodded, she knew Zhai Haohui's origin, Zhai Haohui personally went to Mén to send out an invitation, what a big face, she must not refuse.

Tang Haoran wanted to go very much, and he could catch up with the son-in-law in the capital, this was a good opportunity to fall from the sky, but he was afraid that Fang Nanguo would have something to take care of, so he said: "I have to stay at home, so I won't go, you guys have fun!" ”

Fang Nanguo's voice came from the study at this time, "Xiǎo Tang, I will live at home today, you can go by yourself!" ”

Tang Haoran's eyes flashed with jīng light, and he felt very jī in his heart, Boss Fang is definitely a good leader, if his subordinates have any opportunities, he will support them, and will never hinder them.

At that moment, the four of them left the Fang Mansion and got into Zhai Haohui's jeep.

Zhai Haohui is relatively low-key, driving very steadily, neither honking nor speeding, quietly hún in the traffic, slowly driving forward.

Zeng Yi looked at the traffic outside the window, and said with emotion: "In Rongcheng before, I felt that there were many cars and Jiāo was congested, but now when I arrive in the capital, I feel that Rongcheng has never been congested." ”

Fang Chenying smiled and said, "Every time there is a New Year's holiday, the capital is particularly blocked, which is also a major feature of the capital." ”

"Why?" Zeng Yi asked.

Fang Chenying pointed to the car outside the window, "Look at it, the road is full of license plates from other places, all of which were taken in Beijing to take the exam." ”

Zeng Yi was confused after hearing this, he didn't understand much, after a little pondering, he couldn't help laughing, he went to Beijing to take the exam, this word is really vivid, it turns out that these people came from other places to visit the officials in the capital during the festival. However, this is not the special sè of the capital, but the special sè of the domestic officialdom, no matter where, when it comes to the New Year's holiday, the leaders are busier than usual to deal with official business, everyone is easy to find a bright and bright opportunity to give gifts to the leaders, how can you miss it?

Zhai Haohui also smiled, "This is a rush for the exam, it is obviously torturing the examiner, our leader has received hundreds of boxes of moon cakes, and he is worried about what to do." ”

The people in the car are laughing, hundreds of boxes of moon cakes, it's really a headache! No wonder I don't see many people eating moon cakes, but moon cakes are being produced every year, and the boxes are getting more and more beautiful.

Zhai Haohui's car passed through the center of the city, then drove into a quiet stone slab xiǎo alley, and finally entered a large courtyard, in which many cars were parked, all of which were rare luxury cars.

"The first time you came to the capital, you were supposed to entertain well, but now is the wrong time, so let's make do here. Next time you come back, I'll make amends for you! Zhai Haohui parked the car and explained a sentence.

Zeng Yi smiled: "It's good here, when I was in Rongcheng, I heard people talk about it." Zeng Yi understood what Zhai Haohui meant, with the background of the Zhai family, let alone going to the State Guesthouse, it was to go to Xishan Bamboo Garden, which was never received by the Military Commission, for Zhai Haohui, it was also a sentence that could be arranged, but now that the festival is over, these local bigwigs are frequented, Zhai Haohui is a low-key person, and he is afraid that it will not affect well if he is seen.

Domestic hotels are roughly divided into two kinds, one is about economic benefits, you can go in to consume if you have money, and the other is not about economic benefits, only for a specific group of people.

The one Zhai Haohui chose today belongs to the first type, as long as you can afford to pay for the meal, no one will talk nonsense, but not just anyone can come in, look at the car at the entrance of Mén, you know that the people who come to consume are either rich or expensive.

When everyone got out of the car, a waiter immediately stepped forward and led everyone inside, Zeng Yi glanced behind and found that Zhai Haohui's jeep had been covered with a car cover.

"This used to be a prince's mansion, but now it has been changed to a restaurant, I have been here twice, and the taste is not bad!" Zhai Haohui smiled and walked in front, "Meixin is in the mall, and she is very familiar with the boss here, she should be there now." ”

As he was talking, Zeng Yi saw Long Meixin, still the same old look, with a malicious smile on her face, anyway, Zeng Yi couldn't see what she looked like a famous lady.

"Are you willing to come to the capital?" Long Meixin took two steps forward, "Have you finally figured it out?" ”

"Figured it out!" Zeng Yi nodded solemnly, and after speaking, he grabbed the bag in Long Meixin's hand, and said continuously: "I'll come, I'll come!" ”

Long Meixin was dumbfounded, her eyes widened, "You...... You're not really going to carry my bag, are you? ”

"Why not?" Zeng Yi asked rhetorically, but said: "I'll carry my bag, you pay, it's very fair, the right should be my salary!" Haha, you're welcome tonight, I'm please! ”

Long Meixin was angry, and said: "You have a good abacus, you want me to pay for it, no mén!" ”

"I said earlier that the cost of letting me carry the bag is very high, and now that I have carried it, it's too late for you to regret it!" Zeng Yi smiled, "Get ready to pay!" ”

Long Meixin looked hateful, she couldn't see Zeng Yi, and what she thought in her heart was full of his advantages, but when they met, this xiǎo son made people hate it so much that they had a toothache, "You are buying and selling!" When you arrive at the boundary of the capital and the foot of the Son of Heaven, do you dare to be so horizontal, and still think that this is your one-third of an acre? ”

Zeng Yi also simply, without saying a word, he stuffed Long Meixin's bag back, "Then you can carry it yourself!" ”

Long Meixin's heart exploded, "You can drop a piece of ròu after a while!" ”

Several people next to him laughed, especially Zhai Haohui, who laughed so much that his cheeks hurt, in Changning Mountain before, I saw that these two people bite every time they meet, I haven't seen them for half a year, I didn't expect it to be the same, it hasn't changed at all.

"I'm also a leader, what kind of system will I carry for you!" Zeng Yi was just joking with Long Meixin, saying so, he still took Long Meixin's bag, introduced her to Fang Chenying and Tang Haoran, and everyone walked inside.

The palace can be compared to the courtyard houses of Fang Nanguo, and several people passed through seven or eight mén in a row before they came to a quiet Xiǎo courtyard, where the green bamboo shook and vines hung down, and the trimming was natural and generous, although it was not ingenious, but it was very natural. There is a wing room in the courtyard, and when you push open the mén, there is a living room and a dining room, all of which are furnished with retro furniture, but also have a strong modern atmosphere.

Tang Haoran walked all the way, but also opened his eyes, Rongcheng does not have such a luxury hotel, the whole is an antique hotel, people walk in it, it is like returning to hundreds of years ago, such a large courtyard, only one table, you can imagine how high the cost of this meal is.

As soon as everyone sat down, the boss of the hotel came over and bowed his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your guests are on the mén, Guan Mou couldn't greet him in person, it's really rude." ”

"Mr. Guan, what are you busy with!" Long Meixin asked.

Mr. Guan knew that Long Meixin was a person he couldn't provoke, so he hurriedly explained: "Today we have two gods here, that's really called a god, I gave it to me, and then I forgot about the important event of welcoming your guests." ”

Long Meixin was a little curious, "What kind of god can always be stopped!" ”

"One is a divine doctor from Qianzhou, Sister Meixin xiǎo may have heard of it, called Bai Mutong, with excellent medical skills; The other one is a senior monk from Rongcheng, Master Mingkong**, just now Master Mingkong was in **, and he said it really well, and I entered the mí as soon as I heard it. Mr. Guan took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Otherwise, Sister Meixin xiǎo will also go over and listen, I only listened to one xiǎo meeting, and I benefited a lot!" ”

Long Meixin turned her face and wanted to ask Zeng Yi if he was going, but when she saw Zeng Yi laughing, she asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Can Zeng Yi not laugh, the two gods that Mr. Guan said in his mouth, he actually knew each other, this is really where he doesn't meet in life, he smiled: "It's nothing, I just think this world is too xiǎo." ”

Mr. Guan looked at Zeng Yi, Long Meixin didn't introduce him, and he didn't know who Zeng Yi was, so he asked, "Does this gentleman know the White Divine Doctor, or does he know Master Mingkong?" ”

Zeng Yi smiled, "I know them all!" ”

Mr. Guan's eyes lit up, these two people can't be invited casually, no wonder Sister Meixin Xiǎo attaches so much importance to today's banquet, it turns out that she is a real guest.

Long Meixin asked, "Then do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Zeng Yi smiled, stood up and said, "Since we met, it seems a little inappropriate not to say hello!" ”

Zeng Yi wanted to see what Mingkong looked like now, and after he spoke about the Fa in front of Cui Jaechang, Mingkong was regarded as a senior monk by Cui Jaechang, and he was specially invited to South Korea to perform the scriptures**. With the influence of Pinghai Group in South Korea, it can be imagined that Mingkong went, it was definitely a super treatment at the presidential level, and for many months, Zeng Yi thought he was happy, but he didn't expect to touch it here.
