Chapter Seventy-Four: The Old
But I saw that in the middle of the scroll that was unfolded horizontally was written eight large characters in italics, "Lao Ji Fu Fang, Zhi Zhi Qianqian", and in the lower right corner were three small characters in italics "Nanxun Inscription" vertically. Don't talk about those three small characters, after all, since the middle-aged man and Guan Chunlei appeared, there was no one present who didn't know who Lu Dao represented, at this moment, the reason why everyone shouted was shocked by these eight big characters, because these eight big characters are too meaningful, people can't help but think about it.
However, it is said that this "Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambition is thousands of miles", which is a famous sentence in Cao Mengde's famous article "Turtle Although Shou", the literal meaning is a metaphor for aspiring people who are still ambitious despite their old age. But at this moment, the gift given to Xue Anyuan by the old chief has a unique charm, and it is easy to read the meaning of "the old chief hopes that Xue Anyuan, who has made great contributions in the Southern Expedition, should not be complacent, but be ambitious". And now that Xue Anyuan is already the commander of the Lingnan Military Region, he will continue to go up to Lu, and he doesn't know where he wants to go.
At this moment, all the people around the banner are literate and hyphenated, and none of them have no chest, and they all read the meaning. And although Xue Xiang, who was holding the horizontal axis on the side, only had a faint smile on his face, he was extremely excited in his heart. He knows very well that Xue Anyuan's birthday celebration is of far-reaching significance, which is tantamount to a political appearance of the old Xue family to the outside world.
But now, Xue Anyuan's strength is too weak, if there is no powerful mountain behind him, waving the flag alone, it may become a joke.
And with the old chief, the deity, this very allegorical ink treasure, has undoubtedly become the most powerful support. This is like Xue Anyuan just arranging the banner out of thin air. The old chief sent a strong east wind, and immediately pulled the banner to hunt and complete the most perfect appearance.
At this time, everyone saw the big characters, and their hearts were calculated, but their mouths were all from the perspective of calligraphy, praising the old chief's handwriting. And the gang on the other side. There were good eyes to glimpse the eight big characters, and when they read it out loud, the audience was immediately silent.
To say that these yamen are so frolicking. And most of them are stubborn, but they can't stand the long-term exposure to politics, and they are almost naturally sensitive to politics. As soon as it was read out here, there was no one who didn't know what the meaning of the eight big characters in Lu Dao was hidden, especially Shi Jianfei, who heard the cannon sound before, and laughed and laughed, at this moment, a handsome face stood coldly, as if it was frozen with ice scum.
"Lao Ji is in the twilight of his life. Strong-hearted, good words chosen by the old chief! Jiang Chaotian flicked the teacup lightly and muttered to himself.
"The sentence is a good sentence, it is inevitably a little unlucky, I think Cao Mengde was ambitious at the beginning. I want to mix with Kyushu, and it seems that the most ambitious queen is also unpaid. Shi Jianfei's voice was extremely low and extremely low, so low that Jiang Chaotian, who was close to the side, went through his mind several times before sorting out the intermittent words he could hear into a complete sentence.
Jiang Chaotian glanced at Shi Jianfei in surprise, and his heart was slightly troubled, at this time, the second child was not shallow about Xue Laosan!
…………………………
The moon is in the middle of the sky. The Xue family's new house was brightly lit, and Xue Xiang stood outside the door, bidding farewell to Hong Ying, Li Tianming, Zhang Fatzi, Qiu Zhiguo, Ma Liang, Ma Yongsheng, and his old officialdom in Sijiu City. Looking at the figures of several jeeps in the distance, Xue Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief, because this was the last wave of guests.
Originally, at three o'clock in the afternoon, after Xue Anyuan gave a speech of thanks, the whole celebration was over. But there is always a difference between distant and close relatives, and after a group of general friends and guests who came purely for politeness left, a group of their loved ones stayed for dinner, and only then did they seem to be dedicated.
Because almost all of the personnel in charge of dispatching and serving were sent by the division headquarters of the Hong Ying Garrison Division, these people have a very heavy military style and have always been vigorous and resolute. After a while, the Xue family's new house was already empty, and when Xue Xiang finished sending everyone off and turned to enter the door, the mansion had already returned to its original appearance. Xue Xiang hurriedly walked a few steps, and as soon as he stepped into the hall, he heard exclamations and noises, he only glanced at it lightly, and then walked towards Xue Anyuan and Xue Pingyuan, who were leaning on the sofa.
…,
The reason why Xue Xiang was so indifferent to this exclamation and noise was that this kind of similar shouting had lasted for more than a minute or two, and it was almost as soon as the guests had dispersed, and there was such a movement in the house, what is going on? It turned out that Xiao Wan, Xiao Yi, and the little guy, together with Xue Yuan and Xue Yang, threw themselves on the two mahogany Eight Immortals tables side by side and opened the gift box.
Because nowadays, although the ban on high-level cadres has not been lifted, it has been decades old in the end, and it has long been broken. The high-level officials saw this, but they didn't take it to heart, and they never issued an explicit ban. After all, leading cadres are not immortals or only husbands, and they must also have normal social interactions. Of course, although the ban on inviting guests for happy events is no longer binding, there is still a bottom line in everyone's hearts, that is, they will never accept cash gifts. And this gift recipient does not charge money, and the gift giver naturally can't give money, and if you don't give money, you can only send some things, and then, there is this mountain of gift boxes.
When Fang was demolished, Xue Xiang was still curious, wanting to know what everyone in Lu Dao had sent, but he didn't look at a few, so he lost interest. It turned out that the things in a bunch of gift boxes were almost the same, mostly some mountain supplements, plus some precious medicinal materials, and occasionally one or two gave some gold and silver gadgets, but the weight was not heavy, almost in line with this level of etiquette. And the exclamation over there was directed at the gold and silver gadgets, after all, tonic medicinal materials and the like, a few small ones were interested, and only these occasional gold and silver gadgets made a few small ones as excited as they were looking for treasures.
Xue Xiang came to the sofa and sat down, accompanied Xue Anyuan and Xue Pingyuan to gossip a few words, seeing that the old man and Xue Anyuan were both flushed, describing sleepiness, knowing that the toss of the day, the two of them were tired, so they asked the two of them to go back to the room early to rest, and beckoned the few who were really turning over the stuff not to make noise. After settling down for a while, after Xue Anyuan and Xue Pingyuan both lay down, Xue Xiang said a few small greetings and went out.
But he said that Xue Xiang went out this time, naturally not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to have other important things!
………………….
Hope Guest House, located in the middle of Zhaoyang Street, is quite rustic, but it is one of the few luxury guest houses in Sijiu City, because this guest house is set up by the Beijing Electric Power Bureau. After all, at any time, these power departments that hold special resources always have a way not to let themselves suffer.
At this moment, the largest room on the second floor of the Hope Guest House is full of friends and laughter. It turned out that the old age of Xue Xiang, a group of Xue Xiang who went to Beijing from Jianghan Province to congratulate Xue Anyuan on his birthday, was placed here. Among them were Zhao Guodong and Hu Liming, who arrived four days ago, Geng Fulin, Chen Guangming, Hong Tianfa, Su Xinghe, Liu Yong, and Captain Xu, who arrived early this morning, as well as Xiao Sun, the special representative of the backer, former Xue Xiang, and now the secretary of the Gushantun Youth League Committee.
At this moment, in the spacious room, more than a dozen people gathered around a table, and there was an empty seat in the middle of due south, which was obviously specially reserved for Xue Xiang. It turned out that there were a lot of visitors all day today, and Xue Xiang was busy entertaining, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to get close to these people. Therefore, before dinner, the two sides communicated and decided to reopen the table for reunion.
said that although the group of people in front of him had very different positions, they were gathered in one place at the moment, and even Zhao Guodong, who was the most dignified, had no official position. He also took advantage of the fact that he didn't serve food, greeted a table of people, divided it into two groups, played playing cards on the table, shouted five and drank six, and let loose the wreckage, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
A handful of cards, Zhao Guodong suddenly confessed, got up and went out, when passing by Hu Liming's side, he touched it gently, the latter understood, and after a few, he also found a reason and went out with him.
"Dawn, how's it going, this tree is big enough, right?"
Under an old locust tree in front of the guest house, Zhao Guodong looked at Hu Liming with a smile, and the words that seemed to praise the big tree in front of him were faintly vibrato.
…,
"Big enough and big enough, it's all up to the sky, can it be big?" Under the bright street lamp, Hu Liming's face was flushed, and now he remembered which calligraphy and painting was hanging in the lobby of the Xue family, and he still couldn't help himself.
"Yes, it's all over the sky, you and I are blessed people, and no matter how many people ask for the opportunity, I will let you and me wait." Zhao Guodong stroked the trunk of the tree, his face was dark, and his voice was soothing.
said that Hu Liming and Zhao Guodong still knew each other because of Xue Xiang's relationship, and they didn't have much to do with each other, so they went to Beijing together for a few days. And it was in just a few days that these two veteran officials who were quite deep in the city government actually felt like confidants, so they had this undisguised sigh.
Hu Liming answered: "Brother Zhao, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, today and one day, I feel like I'm in a dream, and at this moment, my thighs are all green." I'm really happy, I thought there was no hope for that thing, but now I'm very sure, you tell me if it's a good wind to use your strength to send me to Qingyun. ”
Zhao Guodong knew very well that Hu Liming was talking about the fact that at a State Council work conference in late April, he proposed to set up special economic zones in the Pengcheng and Chaoshan areas of Lingnan. Officials who pay a little attention to current affairs and political trends all know that the establishment of this special economic zone is obviously an experiment and paving the way for further reform and opening up. It is also clear that if anyone can serve as the chief official in those special economic zones, the upward channel of the future career will be completely opened. Because of this kind of special economic zone, people with a discerning eye know that there is almost no possibility of failure, after all, it brings together the country's manpower, material resources, and the best support policies, as long as it is not a lack of brains, it can be done accurately.
And Zhao Guodong is no longer able to go to the special economic zone because of his high level, so Hu Liming has always been worried about it. However, before, Hu Liming felt that his foundation was shallow, so he didn't hope, but at noon today, he saw the big words shining with golden light, and his originally dead heart immediately came to life. After the banquet ended, he had already worked out this matter with Zhao Guodong in private, and at this moment, it was the second time he had asked a question.
ps: I've been adjusting my biological clock these days, and my brain is groggy, so please forgive me a little bit.
