Mr. Zhai looked at the koi swimming back and forth in the small pond under the rockery with interest. After observing her side, he found that Mr. Qiu, who was standing beside him, also had a good look, which made Mr. Zhai feel a little strange. When he met before, Mr. Qiu always looked serious and deep. Not to mention a koi, even when he saw a living person, Mr. Qiu did not look sideways and had no interest. This was related to Mr. Qiu's lonely personality after losing his son and daughter.

But today, Mr. Qiu was not only very interested in seeing those koi, but even smiled, which was completely different from before.

"Teaching man, you look very good today!" Mr. Zhai said. Before Mr. Qiu joined the revolution, he was a teacher. A typical scholar abandoned his pen and joined the army, so Mr. Zhai always called Mr. Qiu a teacher.

"Zhai Shimajian, what do you mean? Should I look very bad?" Old Qiu raised his eyebrows, which seemed unhappy, but there was no sign of anger in his eyes. Old Zhai came from the mountains, worked as a hunter, and also worked as a stonemason. Old Qiu often called him Shimajian Zhai.

One teacher and the other stonemason, the names of the two are extremely opposite.

Mr. Qiu and Mr. Zhai were born in literature and military affairs. Although they both became generals in the end, this completely different background actually affected the descendants of the two families. Mr. Qiu’s son Qiu Jianyue was a literati, while the three brothers of the Zhai family were all tiger generals.

"You literati just like to make random guesses!" Mr. Zhai smiled and said, "You are kind-hearted and thought that I didn't say anything if you don't like to listen."

"As soon as you open your mouth, you have to distinguish between a literati and a literati. You are a big hat!" Mr. Qiu refused to show weakness at all. Mr. Zhai said that he was a literati who was ignorant of a literati. He said that Mr. Zhai was a literati and was a typical practice of class struggle.

Old Zhai shook his head and had to give up. If he really had a verbal battle, he would not be Mr. Qiu's opponent.

Mr. Qiu turned his eyes to the koi again, with his hands behind his back, and inadvertently said: "Your baby grandson is very good. He is down-to-earth and easy to learn. He is not like the person you taught by Zhai Shijian!"

"It's not like what I taught, that's also my precious grandson of Zhai Rongtai!" Mr. Zhai laughed loudly. Mr. Zhai was very pleased that Zhai Haohui could make Mr. Qiu praise him. First, he was proud of Zhai Haohui, and second, it was because the person who praised him was Mr. Qiu. Zhai Haohui took the initiative to go to the navy, and Mr. Qiu's influence was mainly in the navy. Being able to get Mr. Qiu praised him was a great recognition of Zhai Haohui.

However, after saying this, Mr. Zhai realized that his words were a bit inappropriate. He was proud of his grandson in front of Mr. Qiu, a man who had lost his son and daughter. Isn’t this exciting Mr. Qiu?

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhai curled his smile and said, "Why, why don't we change the style of our Zhai family!"

Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "It's not only you, the stonemason, who has a grandson!"

Mr. Zhai was stunned. Mr. Qiu's reaction was so strange that he had no intention of being angry at all. It was not that Mr. Qiu had no grandson, and Qiu Dajun was the legitimate grandson of Mr. Qiu. However, as long as he mentioned Qiu Dajun in front of Mr. Qiu, Mr. Qiu would not be happy, but would be a little angry. But judging from Mr. Qiu's reaction just now, Mr. Qiu did not feel any displeasure. On the contrary, he seemed to feel the same pride for Qiu Dajun.

This made Mr. Zhai a little confused. If Mr. Qiu was proud of Qiu Dajun, Mr. Zhai would never believe this, because Mr. Qiu, a teacher, hated and looked down upon the most, and was the ignorant person like Qiu Dajun.

Unless Mr. Qiu is really confused, he will never like Qiu Dajun.

But what Mr. Qiu said just now was obviously moved and proud of Qiu Dajun, and even felt that Qiu Dajun was more promising than Zhai Haohui. This was obviously a confused behavior!

Mr. Zhai thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. Could it be that Mr. Qiu has another grandson worthy of boasting about? Qiu Jianting still has a son, which is acceptable, but that is definitely not Mr. Qiu's own grandson.

Thinking of this, Old Zhai was surprised. He remembered something. Old Qiu did have a biological grandson, but he disappeared after birth. Did he find it again? Didn’t it mean that the child is missing and there is no clue? There is another saying that the child was taken away by a Taoist priest, but there was no news about it.

"Stonemaster!" Old Qiu's expression suddenly became solemn, and then looked at Old Zhai and asked, "The conference will be held next month. What do you think about the candidate for the free vice premier?"

Mr. Zhai was even more surprised. Mr. Qiu has been staying in the world for so many years. Why did he suddenly ask about personnel matters today? Coupled with Mr. Qiu’s strange reaction just now, Mr. Zhai found that he could not understand Mr. Qiu at all.

"Do you have the right candidate to recommend it?" Mr. Zhai asked back. He really couldn't figure out what Mr. Qiu meant.

Mr. Qiu nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "What do you think of the one from Zhichunsheng?"

Mr. Zhai showed a deep thought. Vice Premier Ren Zhenhua had to retreat to the second line after the conference because he was age-limited. Many people had ideas about this vacant position, and there were several people who had the strength to compete. The person in Zhichun Province mentioned by Mr. Qiu naturally refers to Fang Nanguo.

Fang Nanguo has experience in powering the two places, that is, Fang Nanguo has the qualifications to compete for this vacancy, and Fang Nanguo has achieved real results in Nanjiang and Zhichun, which is impeccable. More importantly, Fang Nanguo is steady and has strong principles, and does not have the impetuous spirit of those political stars.

Mr. Zhai is a soldier and pays more attention to pragmatism. In Mr. Zhai’s opinion, no matter how scattered you are, if your fists are not hard, you are a paper tiger and you can’t be hard at all. So from this perspective, Mr. Zhai admires Fang Nanguo very much, who is a down-to-earth person who does things and never brags.

However, this position is too important. It is not that you can get it with qualifications, nor is it that Mr. Zhai believes that whoever is suitable can be competent. There are too many variables here.

"It's not bad!"

Old Zhai nodded, without affirmation or denial. He couldn't understand why Mr. Qiu suddenly valued Fang Nanguo so much. Judging from Fang Nanguo's previous promotion path, he had no intersection with Mr. Qiu, and Fang Nanguo had no intersection with the Qiu family. Even if Fang Nanguo got that position, it seemed that there was no obvious benefit to the Qiu family.

Mr. Zhai felt that Mr. Qiu's behavior and behavior today were too strange, so strange that he could not understand. Why did Mr. Qiu recommend a person who had no interaction with the Qiu family?

Is it because my own idea is wrong?

Mr. Zhai couldn't figure it out from the right direction, so he had to think about it from the opposite direction. If Fang Nanguo got that position, who would benefit?

But Fang Nanguo is a very typical middleman, and he does not have any factional labels. This is Fang Nanguo's advantage and the biggest disadvantage. If Fang Nanguo gets that position, who will benefit at that time? It seems that he can't tell.

Old Zhai frowned. There is no hatred for no reason in this world, and no love for no reason. Old Qiu has to have a reason to support Fang Nanguo!

Who else will benefit?

Looking at the two-story building, Mr. Zhai suddenly thought of someone. This person definitely benefited the most, that was Zeng Yi!

Many people outside say that Zeng Yi is from the Zhai family. This may be because the Jinghua Imperial Banquet Palace was closed by Zhai Laoyi. However, Zhai Lao knew very well that the relationship between Zeng Yi and the Zhai family was definitely not what the outside world said. Zeng Yi was a very independent person. He had almost no benefit from the Zhai family. On the contrary, the Zhai family owed Zeng Yi a lot of favors.

Whose person Zeng Yi is?

Mr. Zhai believed that Zeng Yi was from Fang Nanguo. Every change in Zeng Yi's career was full of Fang Nanguo's participation. Fang Nanguo also got angry for Zeng Yi, such as Yuan Gongping. However, compared with the Zhai family, Fang Nanguo received much less attention, and the rank difference between Zeng Yi and Fang Nanguo was too big. So almost no one noticed the relationship between these two people.

Not only was Zeng Yi, the Fang Nanguo Gang, who was giving advice in his career, but even Zeng Yi's style of acting was largely influenced by Fang Nanguo. Both of them were both silent and down-to-earth styles.

Fang Nanguo's political life is still very young, and he will have at least ten years of reign. If Fang Nanguo enters the center this time, then Zeng Yi's future will be limitless. Fang Nanguo is likely to cultivate Zeng Yi as his successor. Ten years later, Zeng Yi will become a climate.

Suppose Zeng Yi is the biggest beneficiary of Fang Nanguo's entry into the center, why did Mr. Qiu plan such a big situation for Zeng Yi?

Mr. Zhai suddenly thought of his first doubt before. Could it be that Mr. Qiu really found the lost grandson? He was not proud of Qiu Dajun, but Zeng Yi?

This is very likely! Mr. Zhai also investigated Zeng Yi's background. Everyone remembered Zeng Wenfu, but no one knew where Zeng Wenfu came from. Only some older people remembered that when Zeng Wenfu came to the town, he only took Zeng Yi with him, saying that his grandfather and grandson fled from another place.

As for what is difficult to escape? No one can explain it clearly.

There are no doctors in the mountain towns, and only one barefoot doctor is available in two towns. Zeng Wenfu has excellent medical skills and cures the illness of the villagers in the town, so he was left in the town.

Mr. Zhai also wanted to investigate Zeng Wenfu, but unfortunately he did not get any clues to investigate, so the matter was left unresolved. It was really too common in that era. Now it seems that Zeng Wenfu is probably a foolish Taoist priest.

"The one from Zhichun Province is indeed very skillful!"

Mr. Zhai had to revise his statement. If Mr. Qiu was willing to stand up for Fang Nanguo, of course he had to agree. For nothing else, he owed Zeng Yi a lot of favors and had not paid back. He had no chance to plan for Zeng Yi before. Now he had the opportunity, and he had to help him.

Seeing that Mr. Zhai suddenly changed his statement, Mr. Qiu felt a brief surprise in his heart, but then he smiled and said, "Is this the heroes' similar views?"

"It's only this time!" Old Zhai laughed. The two of them had almost no objection in their lives.

After laughing, the two turned their eyes back to the koi. The pool was very small and the fish were just swinging back and forth there, but they were very interesting to see.

"Teacher, what do you think about the island of Donghai?" Mr. Zhai asked suddenly, but before Mr. Qiu answered, he continued: "Some time ago, Comrade Sour and Sour Sour Soup came to me, and I asked him the same question. Guess how he answered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qiu's eyes lit up. When Mr. Zhai saw it, he had a judgment in his heart.
Chapter completed!
