Chapter 685: Different

nurse." 。Before he said, “Why don’t I buy everyone a cup of coffee” Xiao Zheng had already noticed the instant coffee packets on the nurse’s station. 。The head nurse beamed: "This, I can't refuse" 。...Old Master Xiao Yi laughed, "Five Claws Tripod, roaring What's that to be concerned about Aren't you all just nervously imagining things again"Weng Benchu and Yao Wenchang looked at each other again. They had been prepared for the old master's reaction like this. 。The old master had served in the army and held political office; he was a man of strong character, a staunch materialist, so he never believed in anything mystical or superstitious. 。But, Weng Benchu and Yao Wenchang were different. Over so many generations, the Weng family had always been the Xiao family's steward, and the Yao family had always been the Xiao family's priest. 。They naturally cannot be as carefree as the former master. All they have to do is maintain the prosperity of the Xiao family's business and ensure its legacy continues!

Official Yao Wenchang practices traditional culture and has a wide range of knowledge. 。He explained, “Master, the five-clawed tripod has not hummed for thirty-one years.” 。The old master's gaze fell on Yao Wenchang at this moment: "Thirty-one years" Yao Wenchang said, "Yes, old master, thirty-one years." 。The last tremor, was when Xiao Rongrong's son, Xiao Zheng, was born. 。"The old patriarch said, "Oh, when Rongrong's son Xiao Zheng was born, there was a rumble! Alas, it is also my fault towards Rongrong, letting him wander outside for so many years and never returning to the family!" The official Yao Wenchang immediately bowed his head and apologized, "Old Patriarch, this is my mistake" 。I'm doomed. 。"It turned out that thirty-one years ago, when the Five Claw Tripod resonated, Yao Wenchang had just taken over the position of sacrificial officer from his father. He was still in the learning, exploration, and familiarization stages for many affairs. The Five Claw Tripod only resonated every few decades, and his father did not think that there would be a resonance in the near future, so he did not instruct him to pay attention at all times." 。When the five-clawed cauldron first trembled, he didn't notice it. 。When his father brought it up later, he finally noticed the five-clawed tripod was vibrating slightly. 。And at this time, Xiao Rongrong had stubbornly left the family with her commoner wife and frail son, traveled thousands of miles south to seek a living, and her son Xiao Zheng grew up in the southern mountains. 。It is evident that the clamor of the Five-Clawed Tripod is inextricably linked to Xiao Zheng's birth!

Hearing Yao Wenchang's self-reproach, taking all the blame upon himself, the old Patriarch waved his hand from his reclining chair: "This matter has passed for so long, Wenchang need not blame himself for it anymore" 。"How is Rongrong's son, Xiao Zheng, doing these days" Yao Wenchang turned his gaze to Weng Benchu. Obviously, this steward knew more about this matter than he, the sacrificial officer. 。Ong Benchu knew that the old master had not asked about this for several years, but now he personally asked, so he immediately reported: "Old master, Young Master Xiao worked in the countryside before, and later went to the county to become the county magistrate of An County. Now he has been sent to Baoyuan County in Ninggan as the county party secretary to carry out poverty alleviation!" The old master said: "He is thirty-one years old, and he is the county party secretary" Ong Benchu said: "Old residence, this is called a weak soldier in a military family, and a tiger father has no dog son!" "Benchu ah, don't put gold on my face >>> 。"The old patriarch shook his head and said, 'Our Xiao family in Huajing now, how many truly capable figures are there But Rongrong, she has always been against me and refuses to come back to the Xiao family! Xiao Zheng is her son, naturally he won't come back either! Ah!'"In the old patriarch's mind, Xiao Rongrong was the youngest son, also the most stubborn and disobedient. He broke away from his family for a commoner woman and has been living among ordinary people for so many years! The old patriarch had this knot in his heart, but in fact, he treasured this son the most and couldn't let go of him." 。Xiao Rongrong has never been a rule follower. On the surface, she enjoys eating, drinking, playing, and seemingly doesn't take anything seriously. However, deep down, she harbors a strong sense of determination. If you give her a task, she will complete it faster and better than anyone else. 。If he were in charge of the Xiao family, I'm afraid the Xiao family wouldn't be like this today! But Old Master Xiao has five children, and he generally favors the eldest while neglecting the youngest. He also tries to maintain balance and cannot show favoritism to the youngest, Xiao Rongrong, even if it means making him feel wronged. 。Wong Bon-chu clearly heard the old master's dejection, and immediately said: "Old Master, the situation is changing, people also change." 。In my personal opinion, perhaps in the not-too-distant future, there will be an opportunity for Young Master Rongrong and Young Master Xiao to return to the family together. 。"The Patriarch then turned to the Priest: “Wenchang, do you agree” Yao Wenchang only then raised his head and echoed, “Patriarch, division will inevitably lead to unity, and unity will inevitably lead to division. I’ve been researching lately, Young Master Rong has been away from home for over thirty years now. It’s about time he returns to the family, and once he does, he certainly won’t leave again!”

The Patriarch listened and a rare smile appeared on his face, “I hope so.” 。Besides, what you just said about the 'Five-Clawed Tripod' resonating, does it mean there's a newcomer born within the family" Ritual Officer Yao Wenchang said: "It's not just that there's a newcomer born within the family, but this new life very likely will eventually become the head of the Xiao clan." 。。We speculate, could it be that Young Master Xiao Zheng is expecting a child with another woman again” The Patriarch shifted slightly in his lounge chair and asked, “Rongrong's son is already married How come I don't know” Weng Benchu quickly said, “Not yet...” 。Otherwise, we will definitely have to report it to the old master. 。But the young master Xiao Zheng has a girlfriend. These past few years, I've been going to Green Water Village to learn about him. His girlfriend's name is Chen Hong, the daughter of a deputy department-level official. Chen Hong herself is already the deputy director of the Municipal Committee Organization Department. 。I want to confirm soon whether she is pregnant. 。The old master said: "I don't care about these specific matters. " 。You guys go do it. 。Besides, I'm resting here and there isn't anything important going on, so please don't disturb me. 。The old master was giving them the order to leave. Wong and Yao naturally understood, so they both stood up from their simple chairs and bowed slightly, saying: "Master, please rest assured. We will do our best to find out the reason for the tremor of the Five-Clawed Cauldron as soon as possible." 。The old master waved his hand at them, signaling that they could leave. 。Wong Benchu and Yao Wenchang walked out the door. As they reached the doorway, the old master suddenly called to the steward: "Benchu, if anything involves Rongrong and his son, come to me at any time." 。"Wong Bon's heart leaped with joy. It was evident that as the old master aged, he placed increasing importance on Xiao Rongrong, his son who had been living elsewhere." 。Wong Bon-chu replied, "Master, I understand. " 。Besides, Master, I have a suggestion. You just said "Rong Rong and his son," but Xiao Zheng is actually your grandson. 。"In the future, calling him 'Xiao Zhe's grandson,' wouldn't that be even better" A hint of pleasure appeared on Patriarch Xiao Yi's face as he said, "You, Benchu, are truly clever! Alright, I understand." 。If anything ever happens regarding Rongrong and my grandson, please come to me at any time. 。"Wong Benchu bowed and said: “Yes, " 。The next morning, the trip to Baokuang Village continued as scheduled. 。A team of geologists led by Yunqi from Huajing and his team were very interested in the situation at Baomin Mountain after hearing about it from Fang Ya, and they were eager to get started!Ninggan Provincial Propaganda Department deputy director Pan Shuwu was temporarily unable to act due to a two-week rest, so he couldn't go to Baomian Village. 。To our surprise, Liu Shisen called early in the morning and requested to join the main force in going to Baokuang Village. 。Fang Ya wanted him to have a good rest, but Liu Shisen said, "This trip to Ninggan has opened my eyes. I was beaten by the thugs here yesterday, what will happen next I really have to go there!"

Fang Ya looked at her cousin who originally lived in Huajing, a comfortable and safe place. With his left hand now bandaged, he actually wanted to go to Baomian Village. This showed that something subtle was changing within Liu Shisen. 。Because there were many people going this time, the county used a big truck. 。Fang Ya also spent her own money to buy hundreds of boxes of mineral water, and had a truck from a department store wholesale in the county follow behind her. 。Su Qi Cai was a little curious and asked, "Minister Fang, what's this for" Fang Ya smiled at her and said, "When we went to Baomin Village last time, the villagers were very nervous even drinking water, but they brought water from dozens of miles away to wash us hot baths!" Su Qi Cai said, "Minister Fang, you want to 'return a spring for every drop of water'"

Fang Ya said: "This can't be said yet, I just want the people in Baomin Village to have a sip of sweet water. " 。Xiao Zheng heard this and felt a bit moved. Fang Ya had always been carefree, coming and going like the wind without any worries. He didn't expect her to remember the villagers' drinking water problem. It was somewhat beyond his expectations!

At the county level, Lei Kunbu, director of the County Committee Office, and Ren Yongle, secretary, accompanied him and had informed Baoling Township, where Baokuang Village is located, in advance. 。Thus, a large van was driving ahead, followed by a pickup truck filled with water, heading towards Baokuang Village. 。

That morning, Chen Qingshan, the secretary of the municipal Party committee, made a phone call to the director of the municipal Finance Bureau, inquiring about whether the 300 million yuan of poverty alleviation funds allocated by the province had arrived. The director of the Finance Bureau said that it had arrived yesterday. 。Chen Qingshan then said, "The 200 million yuan in funding for Baoyuan County can be disbursed as soon as possible." 。Chen Qingshan has agreed to Xiao Zheng, with 100 million yuan staying in the city and the other 200 million yuan being extra secured by Xiao Zheng, allocated to Baoyuan. 。Since he has already agreed, Chen Qingshan hopes to fulfill his promise as soon as possible. 。The director of the city's finance bureau said with some difficulty: "Secretary Chen, Mayor Dai said this funding can be put to many uses. The city needs to make a comprehensive consideration and cannot give so much to Baoyuan." 。”then. 。Tan Zhen remembered that Gao Cheng Han had visited Xiao Jing Yu twice in a row the other day, the two colluding together. If they weren't given some benefits, it would be easy for them to oppo...
