Zhang Yang said: "I asked him the same at the time, but he said that he had never met you, so he conveyed it through me." ”

Luo Huining smiled indifferently: "I really haven't seen him." ”

Zhang Yang realized that Luo Huining reacted coldly to Huang Xianyun, and said carefully: "Godmother, I don't know him too well, it just so happened that one of my colleagues was his nephew, and he got in touch through him, but this person's handwriting is really good." ”

Luo Huining said: "Good handwriting, not necessarily good character on behalf of friends, Mr. Huang Xianyun's calligraphy was also quite admired during his lifetime, but he rarely mentioned this person."

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. Fei doesn't like him? ”

Luo Huining said: "I don't know the specific details, but I didn't mention him before Mr. passed away. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Yang already understood that Huang Xianyun was undoubtedly the most outstanding among Mr. Tianchi's many disciples, and he was also the most promising one to inherit his mantle, but Mr. Tianchi didn't remember anything to explain to him before he died, which is enough to prove that there must be a gap between Mr. Tianchi and this disciple. Although Zhang Yang is a little strange, Huang Xianyun still feels good about him, he is extraordinary and talented, what kind of thing did such a person do to make Mr. Tianchi so disappointed in him? However, Zhang Yang will not continue to mention this matter.

Zhang Yang originally wanted to return to Pinghai with Chu Yanran, seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, Zhang Yang arranged work in Pinghai, and then went to Chunyang's hometown for the New Year, but he didn't expect that Qiao Pengfei called him at this time, Qiao Pengfei had already come back from **, and this time he was looking for Zhang Yang because his uncle Qiao Pengju was sick, so he wanted Zhang Yang to go over and help take a look.

Because Chu Yanran made an appointment with her grandmother to meet in Dongjiang, she could only leave first, and before leaving, she asked Zhang Yang not to rush back if she couldn't pull away, there is no doubt that Chu Yanran became more and more considerate of Zhang Yang.

After sending Chu Yanran away, Zhang Yang naturally didn't need to stay in the villa of Zhou Xingguo Imperial Garden, he made an appointment with Qiao Pengfei and asked Qiao Pengfei to drive over to pick him up.

Coming over with Qiao Pengfei was Yuan Xinjun, the son of the deputy secretary of the ** autonomous region, who also made a special trip back to the capital for the New Year, and several people have not seen each other for so long, and they are quite affectionate.

Several years of military camp career have played a considerable role in sharpening Qiao Pengfei, and it is difficult to find the youthful frivolity of the past on Qiao Pengfei's face now, he is much calmer and more mature, and shook hands with Zhang Yang and said: "Zhang Yang, I beg you to come this time!" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Look at what you said, it's all your friend's politeness." ”

Yuan Xinjun was quite curious about Zhou Xingguo's villa, and looked inside: "This house is Boss Zhou, it's really good, I have to ask him to sponsor our Cattle Association some funds when I go back." "This guy is still going on to defend the cattle in the first place.

Zhang Yang got into the car, Yuan Xinjun asked Qiao Pengfei to drop him at the gate of Minzu University, after Yuan Xinjun left, Zhang Yang looked at his back with some confusion and said, "What is this kid doing here?" ”

Qiao Pengfei said: "His grandfather is a professor here, and the whole family has been here for the recent Chinese New Year. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, remembering that today is already the twenty-ninth year, and the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, at this time, most people have returned to their hometowns, but they are still staying in the capital, he said in a low voice: "What's wrong with Secretary Qiao?" ”

Qiao Pengfei said: "I don't know, my grandfather asked me to call you." He started the car and drove forward. Recently, the Qiao family has undoubtedly encountered a political low ebb in recent years, and this series of troubles caused by Qiao Pengju has made everyone in the family feel very bad.

Zhang Yang said: "Do you plan to leave when you come back this time?" ”

Qiao Pengfei said with a smile: "I have to go back, since I have to serve in the service, I have to fill my service, and if I run back halfway, I am called a deserter." ”

Zhang Yang said: "How is Mengyuan's situation lately? ”

Speaking of Qiao Mengyuan, Qiao Pengfei was silent, and only after a while did he say: "Mengyuan's situation is not good, she recently chanted in Baiyun Nunnery, Shi Wei went to pick her up, and she should come back today." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, and the worry about Qiao Mengyuan in his heart couldn't help but be a little more.

For the Qiao family, this New Year is the most deserted since the eighties, the young children of the Qiao family have a feeling of being in a harsh winter, they feel panic in their hearts, afraid that this political turmoil will make the Qiao family slump from now on, only when the crisis really comes to the Qiao family, they will find that the aura they have in the past are given by the family, leaving the word Qiao family, they are nothing, Qiao Pengfei is relatively sober in this storm, thanks to his experience as a soldierHe really felt a sense of crisis, and he was also aware of the responsibility he should bear, which is probably what people often call a sense of mission.

If there is another person in the Qiao family who has not changed the rules of life, it is Qiao Lao, when Zhang Yang came to Qiao's house, Qiao Lao was moving a stone around on three different bases, and in the end Qiao Lao still indirectly put the stone on the table.

Zhang Yang said respectfully: "Old Qiao, this stone is good!" ”

Qiao Lao smiled and said, "Where is it good?" It was Shi Wei's girl who bought it from the market, and I don't see how good this stone is. ”

Zhang Yang walked over, reached out and touched the stone, pressed it quietly, and then let go, the stone dangled on the table, Zhang Yang smiled: "This is clearly a tumbler!" ”

Qiao Lao glanced at Zhang Yang, his eyes returned to the stone that was still shaking, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, it's really interesting." ”

Zhang Daguanren's words just now just blurted out, and after saying it, he thought that Old Qiao would not misunderstand, and the tumbler he said was not an allusion to his old man.

Qiao Lao shouldn't have thought much about it, he smiled and said, "When did you come to the capital?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "The day before yesterday, I originally planned to go back to Pinghai for the New Year today, but I received a summons from your old one, so I can only postpone it for one day." ”

Qiao Lao said: "It seems that I delayed you, and it is a good choice to stay in the capital for the New Year, where the New Year's flavor is stronger." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Qiao is not feeling well? ”

Qiao Lao pointed upstairs.

Zhang Yang followed him to the sun room on the terrace on the second floor, Qiao Lao asked the nanny to make tea, and Zhang Yang sat down on the rattan chair, enjoying the warm sunshine in the morning, Qiao Lao said: "It snowed two days ago, he accidentally slipped and fell, and when his left hand went to support the ground, he accidentally injured himself, the hospital's diagnosis said that it was a bone crack, I heard Mengyuan say in the past, you are very good at bone injuries, so let you come over to help him take a look." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "No problem, what about Secretary Qiao?" ”

Qiao Lao said: "I went to the hospital to make a film." ”

Zhang Yang picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, his lips and teeth were fragrant, since he came to Qiao's house, he has been quietly observing Qiao Lao, compared with the last time he saw Qiao Lao, there is no change, so that it can be said that Qiao Lao's spirit is more ** than in the past, his face is ruddy, calm and relaxed, Zhang Daguan secretly sighed, the older generation of politicians is different, this kind of pampered and humiliated mentality is not everyone can successfully cultivate, Zhang Yang said: "Pengju will come back for the New Year this year?" ”

Qiao Lao shook his head and asked rhetorically, "If it were him, would you dare to come back now?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "What don't you dare? Some things have been done, and it is useless to escape, there is a way to stretch the neck and slash the neck. ”

Qiao Lao laughed, he made no secret of his appreciation for Zhang Yang: "Among so many children of our Qiao family, there are few people who have the courage of you. ”

Zhang Yang said: "I'm not bold, it's just a little thick-skinned." ”

Qiao Lao smiled lightly: "Thick skin is not a sign of excellent psychological quality, by the way, what are you busy with in the capital this time?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "First, I came to pay New Year's greetings to my godfather and godmother, and second, to report to them about my marriage." ”

Qiao Lao said: "Are you going to get married?" Whamming's daughter? ”

Zhang Yang nodded.

Qiao Lao smiled and said: "Great joy, marriage is a major event in life, don't forget to invite me to a glass of wedding wine on the day you get married." Qiao Lao was able to take the initiative to make such a request, which can be said to be enough to give Zhang Yan, Zhang Daguan nodded happily, but he couldn't help but think of Qiao Mengyuan, I don't know if the marriage between the Qiao family and the Zhou family is really a thing, with Qiao Lao's mind and strategy, do you also need to exchange the happiness of your granddaughter for benefits? Zhang Yang always felt that this was unlikely, and when he was about to find out about this matter from Qiao Lao's mouth, Qiao Zhenliang came back from the hospital.

Qiao Zhenliang didn't know that Zhang Yang would come, and he was a little surprised to see Zhang Yang appear in front of him, but he still welcomed Zhang Yang's arrival: "Zhang Yang is here!" ”

Qiao Lao said: "I asked him to come over, help you look at your arm." ”

Qiao Zhenliang was a little moved by his father's care, and he smiled: "Dad, I'm fine, the doctor said that it was just a slight bone crack, just take a rest." ”

Zhang Yang saw Qiao Zhenliang put on a splint, asked him to sit down, picked up his film and looked at it, just like Qiao Zhenliang said, his bone crack was not severe, Zhang Yang said: "There's no need to put a splint, I'll go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to grab some medicine later, put it on for you, and ensure that you recover within three days." ”

Qiao Zhenliang knew Zhang Yang's ability, just now the doctor told him that it would take at least a month, and when he arrived at Zhang Yang, he would immediately shorten it to three days, who doesn't want his injury to heal quickly, Qiao Zhenliang felt very relieved when he heard the news.

As the former secretary of the provincial party committee of Banhai, Qiao Zhenliang naturally could not avoid Pinghai's question, and he took the initiative to ask Zhang Yang about the recent situation of Pinghai.

Zhang Yang said: "The current Pinghai is still making steady progress in accordance with the principles and policies formulated by Secretary Qiao in the past. ”

Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Qiao Zhenliang smiled dumbly, this kid is much more sleek than in the past, this sentence is not lost, Qiao Zhenliang does not believe that the current Pinghai is still the same as in the past, and there will probably be no change in the short term, but as time goes by, Song Huaiming will definitely carry out drastic reforms.
