Pick up an abandoned child and overwhelm the world

The banquet ended one after another before midnight because people left. Cheng Ning hugged Cheng Wei, who had fallen asleep long ago, and left the City Lord's Mansion with Mu Jingan and Xu Xun who was greeted by servants. When getting into the carriage, Cheng Ning took a last look at the majestic City Lord's Mansion, stepped into the carriage and returned to Mu's Mansion, followed Wen Jing and the others to spend a simple Mid-Autumn Festival with Wen Jing and the others, even at the City Lord's Mansion. He didn't drink, so he drank a little with Wen Jing and the others when he came back, and finally he happily hugged his son and fell asleep together.

……

The weather in the northern region seemed to be entering winter after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather was getting colder every day.

Last time, the cloth shop that made a lot of clothes for Cheng Ning sent someone to notify Cheng Ning of the new fabric at the end of August. Cheng Ning was going to refuse, but the people in Mu's house seemed to have heard the news a long time ago. Resolutely took people to choose the fabric directly, and asked Wen Jing to tell Cheng Ning when he came back, that he and the young master's winter clothes would be delivered in half a month, and asked Wen Jing to pack up the place early... Cheng Ning had to work harder Do your priestly work so that you don't become a rice bug yourself!

Winter is coming in a blink of an eye, and winter in the northern region is always accompanied by continuous heavy snow.

The weather was too cold, Cheng Ning had fewer days to go out, and the house where he lived had long been lit with unextinguished charcoal fires, Cheng Ning finally understood that it is right for a servant to start preparing winter things from summer !

New Year's Eve seemed to arrive after only two heavy snowfalls. Mu Jinqian, an incompetent master, was very competent at the end of the year. He notified the servants early that they had to leave before the New Year's Eve when they were going home, and For everyone who returned home, Mu Jingan would personally pay them the bill, and even send them out. Cheng Ning seriously suspected that the servants of Mu's house were probably bought by the master's generous wages every year. Years ago, he was unwilling to leave Mu's house, and came back early after the Chinese New Year.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cheng Wei finally came back, and he would not go to the master's place until after the Chinese New Year. Cheng Wei, who has grown up, grown taller and is more sensible, has been happily pulling Cheng Ning every day since he came back. Playing around in the house, it seemed that he, like Cheng Ning, had never seen such a big and continuous heavy snow. Both father and son liked it very much!

On New Year's Eve, except for the servants who were in the city, they also went back to celebrate the New Year. Apart from the three masters and Wen Jing, there were actually seven people left in the huge house: Wu Chi, Song Wen, and Li Yuanliang.

The seven of them are all men, all of them are staring at each other with big eyes, all of them...

Can't cook! ! !

Therefore, Mu Jingan, who seemed to have expected this scene long ago, was not surprised at all. With a decisive wave of his hand, he sent Wu Chi and Song Wen out. Two hours later, the two returned, followed by Chasing the carriage driven by the waiters from a very famous restaurant in Suicheng, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the waiters filled a table full of fragrant meals for seven people in less than half an hour. It was only then that Ning learned... This is almost their practice every year, but in previous years there were four people, but this year there were three more people, and it was much more lively!

"It can't be like this next year!" Cheng Ning immediately said seriously to the others when the reunion dinner started.

"Oh, then you cook!" Mu Jingan said casually.

"I'll do it!" Cheng Ning said seriously, as if swearing!

Everyone: "..."

"Eat, don't waste it, you must finish it!" Cheng Ning said solemnly again, but seeing all kinds of steaming meals on the table, he felt... probably couldn't finish this sentence, but he still had to work hard eat.

Setting off firecrackers, lighting fireworks, clinking glasses, drinking... The seven people gradually forgot their identities as masters and servants, and started eating and drinking. What servants dared not say to Mu Jingan, an incompetent master in the past, is not the case today. He said it bluntly, and even hooked his shoulders together and began to persuade him to drink. After drinking for three rounds, except for Cheng Wei who hadn't touched a drop of wine on the table, he went outside to play with fireworks for a while, and came back for some food later. Talk to daddy, the other six people are all drunk to varying degrees, the slightly better one is Wenjing!

Wen Jing is at this moment, and he is still doing his best to go around the rooms from time to time, adding some charcoal fire, heating the cold food on the table from time to time, and going to the wine cellar to carry wine from time to time, but he never forgets. Looking at his own status, Cheng Ning couldn't help but persuade him not to be busy, and he didn't want to eat and drink together. He still didn't miss anything he should do, and Cheng Ning let him go.

"Bam—"

A firework suddenly exploded in the distant night sky, followed by the sound of various firecrackers, heralding that midnight is coming!

The seven people guarding the night were taken aback for a moment, then Wen Jing, Wu Chi, Song Wen and the poor Li Yuanliang, who had few words, all showed a hint of happiness on their faces, and hurriedly went to the courtyard to light up the fire that had been prepared earlier. Fireworks, firecrackers, playing with Cheng Wei in the night, but Cheng Ning...was slowly waking up at this moment, looking at the fireworks outside, a tear fell down his eye socket...

"It's been a year..." Mu Jingan's voice was hoarse at the moment, and then he took a glass of wine and drank it with his head up. After a while, he lowered his head, looked at the empty wine glass, and reached out to touch the jade pendant on his waist. There was a bitter smile in Mu Jinggan's eyes, and he murmured softly: "You idiot have left me for a year..."

Cheng Ning silently turned his head to look at the master, and suddenly reached out to pick up the wine glass and drank it up, and finally wiped his face before saying: "Master, brother, don't worry, I will live a good life, I will good..."

Yeah, it's been a year.

On this night one year ago, Cheng Ning lost everything he had, lost everything, and now, one year later, he got a lot of cherished things, for him, those are priceless!

But if possible, Cheng Ning is willing to use his own life in exchange for the cessation of that disaster, but...there is no if in the world.

One world, two atmospheres.

The few people in the courtyard were happily bustling with each other, while the master and apprentice in the room chatted one after another, drank wine on their own, and tasted some past events that they only knew and didn't want to talk about... …

On New Year's Eve, according to the custom, one has to keep vigil until dawn. Of course, these people in Mu Zhai were so drunk, young and young, how could they be respected by dawn?

Besides, this is just a custom, after midnight, it's almost the same time, how can you really wait until dawn honestly?

After the excitement was over, I went back to my residence.

It was rare for Cheng Ning to get a little too drunk, and Wen Jing took full responsibility to take care of him and the drowsy Cheng Wei. When I was sleeping, I was stopped by Cheng Ning who was on the bed. Wen Jing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell me, Master?"

"Oh, I... I forgot one thing..." Cheng Ning said drunkenly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he propped himself up on the bed and rubbed Rubbing his sore head, he began to search everywhere, felt everywhere, Cheng Wei, who was tossing around, was about to wake up, and he didn't know what he was going to do?

Wen Jing, who was watching, hurried forward and coaxed: "Okay, okay, let's talk about something tomorrow, don't bother, you are drunk, go to bed first, let's talk tomorrow, okay?"

"Not good!" Cheng Ning frowned and stubbornly broke away from Wen Jing, but Wen Jing's words had some effect. He looked at Cheng Wei, who was sleeping beside him, and then seemed to suddenly remember, Surprised and said: "I remembered, here..." Cheng Ning reached out and touched under his pillow until he found what he wanted, Cheng Ning smiled happily and said, "I found it!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Ning withdrew his hand under Wen Jing's puzzled gaze. Wen Jing found that there was something extra in his hand, and looked helplessly at his master who was drunk and a bit childish, and had no choice but to go along with it. At this moment, he also said "surprised": "So, what is this?"

"Hey..." Cheng Ning looked at Wen Jing and smiled, and spread out his hands. In his hands were two small cloth bags made of red satin, with a big "Fu" embroidered on them, but a different one. It was bulging, one was not too bulging, and it could be seen that one contained more and one less. Cheng Ning looked at it, and then, in Wen Jing's doubts, decisively handed the bulging cloth bag to Wen Jing's. In front of him, he said with a smile: "I forgot to give you your lucky money. Although it is not much, I hope you can accept it!" Seeing Wen Jing froze for a moment, Cheng Ning hurriedly explained: "Don't worry! , it’s not my master’s money, it’s all the money I usually save for myself, so don’t worry, just accept it, in fact, you probably won’t believe it when you tell me, this…” Cheng Ning said a little embarrassed Said: "This is the first time I have given New Year's money to someone. Before... I was given by someone else. This is the first time I have given it to someone, so I don't know how much I should give to a child as old as you. I just think... Well, since we are family members and I am your elder brother, I should give you the New Year's money, isn't this a custom?"

Wen Jing froze for a long time before stretching out his trembling hands to take the extraordinarily heavy New Year's money for him very carefully. He held it in both hands and stared straight at it until his eyes were filled with mist...

"Silly boy, why are you crying?" Cheng Ning stretched out his hands and rubbed his hair, a gentle smile appeared on his face, which was stained crimson due to drunkenness: "We are all a family, let's be together well in the future!"

"Well, good!" Wen Jing nodded vigorously and touched his tears in embarrassment. At this moment, he didn't want to refute the fact that Cheng Ning regarded him as a "family member". It's rare for my elder brother to act like a baby to him: "From now on, we will always be together and have a good time, we will always be family!"

After waiting for Cheng Ning to fall asleep again, Wen Jing turned off the oil lamp, left the room without a sound, and closed the door.

Standing under the eaves, listening to the sound of firecrackers and fireworks coming from a distance from time to time, signaling the arrival of the New Year, watching the dark night sky being illuminated by the direction of those sounds from time to time... The night wind is mixed with fluttering The snowflakes fell on Wen Jing's face, making it icy cold, a kind of biting cold that can only be found in the north!

Wen Jing held the New Year's money in his arms, but felt extremely warm. Even if he tried his best to look up at his head, tears still couldn't stop falling down, but now he is no longer a year ago when he knelt on the destroyed He cried sadly in front of his home, but wept warmly. He knew that he would no longer have to wander, and he would never be confused again. He also clearly knew how to move forward in the rest of his life. !

"Father, mother, don't worry...Jing'er will work hard to live a good life, you... rest in peace!" Wen Jing said to his family in the sky with sobs, and finally wiped his tears, and quickly returned to his room I went here, because I have to get up early tomorrow, and there are still many things to do in the new year.

……

However, the next morning, Cheng Ning, who was hungover for the first time in his life, was called out anxiously by Wen Jing. When he got to the bedside, he realized that it was already dawn outside. He pampered Cheng Wei's little head, handed him the lucky money that was not given to him last night, and watched the little guy happily run out to show off. Cheng Ning just took the hangover soup from Wen Jing and asked, "What's wrong? I'm in such a hurry on the first day of the new year. Shouldn't I take a good rest on the first day of the new year?"

Wen Jing's expression was really anxious, but he still insisted on watching Cheng Ning finish drinking the hangover soup before saying: "Mr. Mu is going on a long trip, so I want you to watch the house with the young master!"

"What???" Cheng Ning was so startled that he almost lost control of the soup bowl in his hand. Fortunately, Wen Jing took it quickly, and Cheng Ning was completely sober from the wine. He said in surprise, "What's going on? He Why do you have to go out again? Where is he going on the first day of the new year? He..."

"Get up first, this meeting is discussing with Mr. Xu!" Wen Jing was also busy handing him the clothes while talking.

"Senior Xu is here too???" Cheng Ning was even more shocked. Looking at Wen Jing's head, Cheng Ning couldn't care less. After getting dressed in a panic, his long hair was simply tied up. He rushed out in a hurry, after rushing out, he saw Cheng Wei playing with snow in the yard, and was about to give himself a snowball, Cheng Ning didn't bother to explain, he simply picked up Cheng Wei and hurriedly placed him in Wenjing's Lead the way and ran out of "Qingfengyuan".

Originally thought that they should be in Mu Jingan's study, but after Cheng Ning ran out with Wen Jing, he found out that Senior Xu and Mu Jingan were already at the gate of Mu's house, as if they were waiting for Cheng Ning's arrival. His ward is about to leave!

When Cheng Ning saw Mu Jingan and Senior Xu standing at the gate from a distance, he suddenly had a thought: If he came out later, they would have left directly.
