As soon as Xiao Fan returned to the capital, he received a call from his younger brother Xiao Tian.
"Brother, go home and have a look. The old man is sick and is quite awesome. He has moved into 301."
Xiao Tian's tone was always so sharp, with an indescribable cynicism.
As a first-class wealthy family in the Republic, the two legitimate grandsons of the Lao Xiao family are really not good in the eyes of the elders of the aristocratic family. The Changsun Xiao Fan was extremely intelligent and knowledgeable since childhood, but he liked the learning of Lao Zhuangzi since childhood.
The one who applied for the university was the Taoist college. After graduation, he went directly to the religious department, causing the elders of wealthy families in the capital to drop their glasses all over the floor.
It seems that no one in the aristocratic family in the capital has become a Taoist priest.
Although Taoism’s rules and regulations are far less strict than Buddhism, most Taoist schools do not prohibit their disciples from getting married, having children and thriving offspring. But how could those elders of aristocratic families who are in high positions and hold high power consider these?
No matter how few Taoist rules and regulations are, monks are monks. Can they still develop within the system? Even if they enter the system and have such a period of history, the achievements within the system are very limited.
Just imagine how could a person say such words as a Taoist priest in the resumes of a senior official of a ruling party appear in the resumes of a certain year to a certain month?
The smartest eldest grandson of the old Xiao family was destined to be unable to return to the system from the moment he entered the gate of Taoist Academy. For the top wealthy family like the Xiao family, this kind of loss is undeserved.
big.
As for Xiao Tian, the second boy of the Xiao family, he was even more unbearable than Xiao Fan. He was just a playboy. Since junior high school, he has been calling friends, fighting and causing trouble, and running rampant. He is a famous demon in the school, and he is not aware of being a teacher.
How many "authorous complaints" have been sued and how many beats have been taken. However, the more you beat them, the more you become, the more you become, the more you are, before you even enter the university, you are already the famous "Second Young Master" in the 19th City playboy circle, just like Gao Yanei described in Water Margin
Then, then
Mr. Xiao has a great prestige in the Republic. Whether in power or not, he is one of the super-majors with final decision-making power. The second-generation children of the Xiao family are relatively not behind others. Mr. Xiao’s only son, Xiao Zhan, is in charge of
He is in the level of a real power and ministerial level, is honest and majestic. He is highly regarded among the second generation of wealthy families and is a flagship figure. Several other daughters and sons-in-law also hold high positions within the system and are highly acclaimed.
force.
Only the two grandsons of the old Xiao family are really disappointing.
The two unscrupulous sons have become Xiao Zhan's rebellious scales, and no one dares to mention them casually in front of him, otherwise, they will definitely make Minister Xiao angry.
"Hmm? When did Grandpa be hospitalized?"
Xiao Fan was shocked.
This time he went out to collect various medicinal materials, which took a little longer. Before going out, Xiao Fan returned home. The old man looked pretty good. Why did he actually be admitted to the hospital after so many days?
Xiao Tian replied on the phone: "Just yesterday. I heard that I was listening to documents at home. Aunt Zhang wanted to help him go to the yard for a walk, but she fainted as soon as she got up..."
The so-called Aunt Zhang is the old man's full-time health nurse.
The old lady passed away two years ago. In the past two years, Nurse Zhang is responsible for taking care of her daily life.
Xiao Tian’s words are actually quite grammatical.
What does "heard" mean? That's your dear grandpa, okay!
However, at this time, Xiao Fan would not care about his younger brother's little grammatical disease. It is common for Xiao Tian to go home after three or five days. Often, he would stay home for a while and have a meal.
I couldn't wait to run away.
There is no other reason, I am afraid of being scolded.
His father, Minister Xiao, looked at him from the left and didn’t like him from the right, and he didn’t like him from the right. It was neither right and right.
Besides, although Xiao Fan is not a playboy, he returns home less than Xiao Tian. He usually hides in the suburbs of Beijing and is "involved" with a group of Taoist priests and nuns. He is so silly that he doesn't know how to be busy.
What, it would be normal not to show off at home for ten days or half a month.
At this point, Xiao Fan is not qualified to teach Xiao Tian.
"Okay, I'll go to the hospital. Where are you? Let's go together."
Xiao Tian stammered and said, "Brother, I won't go anymore, so that the old man will be upset when he sees me, and his condition will worsen."
The key is that any elder in the family will not help but teach him a lesson when he sees Xiao Tian. Brother Xiao is really annoyed. In the playboy circle in the capital, Brother Xiao is also a great man of the "boss" level.
Everyone is so glamorous. When you get home, you immediately become a solid "gray grandson". Anyone who catches him can teach him a lesson, and he feels very depressed.
Xiao Fan was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Xiao Tian, don't be too playful."
Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian are only one year apart in age, less than two years old, and have had a good relationship since childhood. When Xiao Fan first applied to Taoist Academy, Xiao Tian was his only supporter.
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Brother, you know my personality, I'm afraid I can't change it."
Xiao Fan was silent.
Xiao Tian's temper is sometimes even more stubborn than him.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Fan stood up and walked out the door. Xin Lin, who had been meditating quietly on the other side, immediately stood up and followed him like a shadow.
"Go to the 301 Hospital, the old man was hospitalized."
Xiao Fan explained briefly.
In fact, this explanation is purely redundant. Xin Lin rarely asks him where he goes or what he does. As long as he goes out, Xin Lin will follow. Three years is enough to reach such a tacit understanding.
Xiao Fan lives in the "Zhishui Temple" in the suburbs of Beijing.
There are many Taoist temples of all kinds in this area, and the "Shushui Temple" is the most inconspicuous small Taoist temple. It covers a large area, with a large yard, a rockery, a garden and a nursery. It is inconspicuous,
It is because it is not famous. The "Shui Temple" is not open to the public and does not receive pilgrims to worship. Few people have entered the "Shui Temple" and are not sure about the entire "Shui Temple". There is only Xiao Fan, the others are all
female.
The Shui Temple is hidden in the shade of bamboo forests, and there is only a small path between the forest leading to the outside world.
The so-called neighbors are all farmhouses, and the nearest ones are hundreds of meters away from the woods. The surrounding farmers generally do not come to Shishui. Don’t underestimate this small forest. If no one gives advice, you will be as good as you.
Walking in the forest path, you will definitely not be able to walk before the gate of Zhishuiguan. You will walk around several circles and walk out from the other end of the woods.
It is somewhat similar to the folk legend "ghost hits the wall".
It's not surprising that these trees and bamboo forests look messy, but are actually carefully arranged according to the direction of the "Four Symbol Formation". They are not masters who are proficient in the art of formations and cannot be cracked.
This four-simile formation was not arranged by Xiao Fan.
The Shishui Temple was built as early as the Republic of China. At that time, this small Taoist temple was lived by Xiao Fan's master. The "Four Symbol Formation" in the forest was set up by Xiao Fan's master.
Xiao Fan's master claimed to be the 63rd generation head of the "Wuji Sect" area, and Xiao Fan was the 64th generation descendant.
The Wuji lineage has a long history, so it is said that the "Nine Phrases of Wuji" and "Wuji Stories" began thousands of years ago, and can even be traced back to the era when the origin of the Zhou Yi, and has been continuously enriched by ancestors and sects of all generations.
It has been passed down to this day and is profound and profound.
It's for Wuji!
Xiao Fan walked slowly to the outside of the view, and Heilin followed his feet, looking lazy and unable to cheer up. Except for being fatter and shiny, it was not much different from an ordinary domestic cat.
Xin Lin drove a very ordinary domestic car, but it was not old when it was used.
Xiao Fan got into the passenger seat.
The black shadow flashed, and the black Lin jumped into Xiao Fan's arms and crawled into Xiao Fan's arms with great accuracy. Then he curled up into a fluffy ball and licked his feet. Xiao Fan smiled slightly,
Gently caressing Heilin's soft and smooth hair. Under the sun, Heilin's hair shines with a black gold luster and is extremely moist.
Heilin enjoyed his master's caress and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
The car quickly drove out of the woods and headed into the city. Soon after, it drove into the gate of 301 Hospital.
As the only remaining top veterans in the Republic, Mr. Xiao naturally lived in the hospital's senior official ward. A semi-independent yard with a corridor connecting with the outside world. The connection between the corridor and the main building is a moon gate.
There are two guards guarding, idle people, etc., and they are not allowed to approach.
There is a guard team beside the old man, who is responsible for the security of the old man day and night. These guards are very familiar with Xiao Fan, so they don’t need to check and they will be allowed to go naturally.
Xin Lin and Heilin stayed outside.
So far, Xin Lin has not shown up in the old Xiao family. The elders and relatives of the old Xiao family, even Xiao Tian, do not know that there is such a strange woman around Xiao Fan.
No one in the Xiao family has ever been to Zhishui Temple.
In name, Xiao Fan works in the State Bureau of Religious Affairs and enjoys the treatment of deputy department level. The Bureau of Religious Affairs also allocated a single dormitory to him. But did Xiao Fan go to work in the bureau and live in the dormitory of the bureau? The bureau leader
No one is concerned about it.
It is definitely not possible for ordinary cadres to be so passive and lazy, but Xiao Fan is of course an exception.
For nothing else, just because his surname is Xiao, which is enough.
"Shushui View" does not exist for all the relatives and friends around Xiao Fan.
The reason why Xiao Fan wanted to name the Religious Bureau was actually more because his surname was Xiao. The direct children of the old Xiao family must have a work unit. After all, the Religious Bureau is a serious state management agency.
The direct son of the Xiao family, Minister Xiao's biological son, actually became an unemployed refugee, which is unreasonable.
Just like Xiao Tian, who is idle all day long, eats and drinks with a group of playboys in the capital, spends time and drinks, has a formal work unit, and enjoys the treatment of a full-time department, only one lower than Xiao Fan, and he still has to go to the unit to register every day.
If you have nothing to do, you have to drink tea and read the newspaper in the office.
Everyone should pay attention to the rules on the table.
It can be regarded as an explanation to his father, Minister Xiao.
