After Lao Dong received a call from Xu Yishan, the two agreed to meet at Du Juan's house in the old street.
After Maoshan County returned the real estate in Laojie to Du Juan's family, Du Juan arranged his living place in the Wu family compound. After China Merchants moved away, Du Juan renovated it according to the structure of the Wu Family Courtyard in the family tree.
Today, only Du Juan and a middle-aged couple live in the huge Wu family compound.
The middle-aged couple is also surnamed Wu, and they belong to the same family as Du Juan. Men are responsible for cleaning the yard and planting flowers and plants. The woman is responsible for taking care of the cuckoo's daily life.
When Xu Yishan arrived at the Wu family compound, Old Dong was already waiting.
The two huge ebony wooden doors of the Wu family compound were closed tightly, and a small door was opened beside the door, allowing only one person to enter and exit. There is a doorbell installed on the small door, but it is not powered by electricity. Instead, you need to pull a thin rope.
As soon as the rope moves, it will ring the doorbell in the yard. As soon as the doorbell rings, the door will open.
Xu Yishan was surprised that Old Dong invited him to the Wu family compound. Du Juan is a girl, and usually has little contact with outsiders except for work. She insisted on living in the Wu family compound, and it could be seen that she always had a feeling in her heart.
When the two met, they each smiled knowingly. Without saying much, Old Dong went to pull the string.
Sure enough, the rope moved and the bell rang. As soon as the door opened, a head poked out, it was the male gardener of Du Juan's family.
He obviously knew Old Dong, and with a smile on his face, he said, "It's Director Dong, my lady is at home."
Old Dong smiled and said: "I know, I have already called your master."
Entering the door, Xu Yishan felt a long-lost sense of intimacy rushing towards him.
In this courtyard, the first time he saw Grandma Wu's family, his heart was melted by her boundless kindness. Grandma Wu Jiagu spent her whole life in this yard. It is said that when she was left alone in the Wu family compound, she never stepped out of the compound again.
She will be closely connected with this yard all her life.
"Brother, you are here." With a series of laughter like silver bells, Du Juan greeted him from the room.
She quickly walked up to Xu Yishan, sized him up from head to toe, said with a sore nose, "Brother, you've lost weight."
Xu Yishan smiled and comforted her, "It's hard to buy old age to be thin. I'm old, and being thin is a good thing."
Du Juan curled his lips and said, "Brother, don't fool me. I don't know how old you are this year?"
The two of them were only focused on talking, leaving Lao Dong aside.
Old Dong cried out, jokingly said: "Look at you two, Lang has a concubine interested, right? I'm redundant, right? Or, I'll go?"
Du Juan blushed, and quickly greeted Old Dong, saying, "Brother Dong, you will never get rid of your jealousy."
The three of them talked and laughed, and entered the living room together.
The remodeled living room is antique and full of historical charm. Although the sun was shining brightly outside and the temperature was frighteningly high, there was a hint of coolness in the room.
This house, which embodies the painstaking efforts of ancient craftsmen, does not need to install air conditioners. After natural wind convection, cool air fills every corner.
The woman brought tea. Du Juan glanced at the tea and said to the woman, "Aunt Shu, go to the cellar and get the sweet-scented osmanthus we brewed last year."
The middle-aged woman named Aunt Shu reminded her: "Miss, don't you have a meeting this afternoon?"
"It's okay." Du Juan smiled and said, "My eldest brother and brother Dong are here, I can't entertain them with tea."
When mentioning sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Xu Yishan thought of Grandma Wu's family.
Grandma Wu's aunt can be regarded as a strange person. The sweet-scented osmanthus brewed by herself is the best wine Xu Yishan has ever drunk in his life. No matter how expensive the wine is, Xu Yishan feels that it is not worth mentioning in front of Osmanthus Niang.
The brewing process of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing is very complicated. It must be stored in jars for use in the second year after the first year's snow melts into water.
Moreover, the sweet-scented osmanthus must be the sweet-scented osmanthus in the Wu family's courtyard. Any sweet-scented osmanthus outside the yard cannot produce sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus.
Aunt Shu quickly brought a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. The mouth of the altar is sealed with mud, and it seems that the fragrance of wine that penetrates into the soul can be smelled.
Old Dong went to remove the mud seal by himself, and while removing it, he said to Xu Yishan: "Old Xu, you came back this time, did you come prepared?"
Xu Yishan didn't understand the meaning of his words, and asked him in surprise: "What came prepared?"
"Huang Xiaofeng." Old Dong smiled and said, "Fuck him, are you ready?"
"What preparation?"
"Do you think he is just tied up like this?" Old Dong hesitated, "Did you underestimate him a bit?"
Xu Yishan suddenly understood, "First, I didn't mess with him. He deserved it. Second, I don't underestimate anyone. Old Dong, in my heart, I never thought of plotting against anyone."
"So, you, Xu Yishan, are an open-minded person, and I agree with that very much." Old Dong said solemnly: "Old Xu, you call me, and I understand what you mean. You don't have to hide it, do you want to Ask me what I think?"
What Old Dong said hit Xu Yishan's heart. He really needs old Dong to help him analyze.
From Huangshan being investigated by shuanggui to Huang Xiaofeng being arrested in Maoshan, all of these are the reasons for Xu Yishan in the eyes of others.
No one knows Xu Yishan's truest thoughts. He had no intention of moving Huangshan. It was Huangshan who didn't grasp himself. If it wasn't for him to take the lead in Feng Youjian's case and send a special inspection team to Maoshan to prepare to acquit Feng Youjian's crime, how could Xu Yishan have the idea of ??a one-shot.
In Xu Yishan's view, people like Feng Youjian must not be tolerated. The more days he serves as a leading cadre, the more days the masses will suffer.
This kind of black sheep who completely regards the lives of ordinary people as worthless and crazily grabs profits must be eliminated from the cadre team.
He let Feng Youjian fall from the horse, this incident should have passed silently. But Huang Shan got dizzy and was still worried about other things. He actually wanted to wash Feng Youjian's name.
"Old Xu, I'm not talking about you. You were a little impulsive in this matter." Old Dong said earnestly: "Think about it, a person who can serve as the secretary of the county party committee for ten consecutive years and can be promoted People, will there be anyone behind?"
Xu Yishan said: "I know who you are talking about."
"It's better to know. Think about it, with your current ability, can you move people?"
"Can't move."
"That's right. You can't move others, but you insist on moving. This will trigger other people's sense of protection, which will react on you. So, you are very dangerous now."
Old Dong sighed and said: "Old Xu, you can ask for more blessings."
Xu Yishan knew what Old Dong said. In the private notebook of the father-in-law Chen Yong, he has a glimpse of all the interpersonal relationships in Huangshan. Huangshan is a deeply hidden person, as can be seen from the case of Fu Jiayi.
He and Fu Jiayi belonged to the same trench, but left the outside world with the impression that he and Fu Jiayi were incompatible. As a result, something happened to Fu Jiayi, and he became a hero instead.
Further up is Gong Hui.
However, further up, the relationship between Huangshan is Liao Lao. From this development context, the relationship between Huangshan is indeed intricate, from the city to Yanjing. Every level has his carefully maintained network of relationships.
Huangshan's network in Yanjing survived in name only because of Liao Lao's death.
Old Dong seems to know the level of Huangshan's relationship network. He even knew Gong Hui.
In this huge network of relationships, everyone is a node. Every network node is closely connected, and a touch will cause turmoil in the entire network.
Du Juan obviously couldn't understand what they were talking about. She smiled like a flower and said, "Brother Dong, do you mean that my eldest brother can't get along in your officialdom? That would be great, I just need a chairman here. Big brother , Don¡¯t worry, they don¡¯t want you, I want you.¡±
