Better to live forever [Rebirth]

As soon as Zhu Zhenliang and his wife left, the old lady was very depressed for a while.

Old Hou Ye and Zhu Dingbei also always have their own affairs to be busy, so she took Zhu Huarong's hand and sighed every now and then: "As soon as you get married next year, my place will really be deserted."

"Grandmother, I will come back often." The grandparents and grandchildren have a good relationship, and Zhu Huarong is also reluctant to part with her.

The son of the Zhu family is away all year round, and the female family members stationed in the mansion endure the most loneliness.Zhu Zhenliang has five daughters, who are always with the old lady, and because she is full of loneliness, the old lady feels pity for her granddaughters.Now watching them grow up one by one and marry into wives, she always feels uncomfortable.

"Silly boy." The old lady smiled and touched her face.

Zhu Huarong's marriage has already been decided, the Zhu family will marry a daughter who is not as powerful as a nobleman and will not enter the general's family. The four daughters above are also married to ordinary officials and officials, and Miss Fifth's marriage is no exception.

Although in the capital city, after this marriage, only Zhu Dingbei's grandson is left in the Hou's mansion.

After more than a month, several people went to Changxinhou's mansion for a horse race again. Jia Shixi, who had been bored for a long time, finally showed a smile.

Lou Anning was still chattering non-stop: "The Xuzhou mansion presented a water dragon cart, which is really ingenious. Grandpa made one for my elder brother and me. You should really go and see it. It really is a master among the people, the Ministry of Industry There are so many people, but no one can think of this idea."

He was even more active when it came to engineering tools. He talked about what the water dragon car looked like, how it worked, and how it was made. He couldn't get enough of what he said, and finally concluded: "In the future, I will definitely create such a magic wagon. things, for the benefit of the common people.”

Several people listened patiently to what he said, and they couldn't help but disperse when they saw this.

Lou Anning was furious, his brother drove over and comforted him: "They don't understand, don't make things difficult for others."

"You're so stupid." With a snort, he and Lou Ankang chased after a few people.

Not long after the situation was calm, the news of Jia Yan's death fell like a bolt from the blue.

-

The seventh son of the Jia family exchanged Geng Tie with Luo Jing Zhou's family a month ago, and the three letters are complete, and the wedding date is agreed.

Zhou Kongyi, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, has a long line of heirs but only one daughter, so it is natural to choose a son-in-law for him.Later, Quanfu, a lady among the noble ladies, acted as a matchmaker for the seventh son of Zhongshuling. The Zhou family went through school examinations several times, and the family background, character, and birth date were all beautiful, so they settled on this family.

The daughter of the Zhou family also studied at the women's school, embroidered wedding dresses, and was waiting to be married in her boudoir.Unexpectedly, at the time of such joy, Jia Jiasheng was so drunk in the tavern, called a girl by her boudoir name, and even got into a fight.The Zhou family naturally paid attention to the future son-in-law, and Zhou Kongyi was so angry that he didn't need to talk too much about it.His daughter was originally Jia Yan's classmate, so she heard the word "Sister Yan", so why didn't she know who it was referring to.

She was usually the most arrogant, but seeing that her future husband-in-law was actually a classmate of hers, she was immediately angry and impatient, saying that she did not want this marriage.

How could Zhou Kongyi be willing to let him be wronged, and invited Jia Xifu, somehow, the Jia family returned the Geng invitation the next day, the Zhou family returned the betrothal gift, and the marriage was over.

As a result, Jia Huai'en was furious, beat Jia Jiasheng well, and then locked him in front of the ancestral hall to think about his mistakes.

It was a shame, but things weren't too bad.After all, children and daughters should be cautious in their marriages, and the Zhou family would not publicize their dissatisfaction, but Mrs. Jia heard some rumors and brought Jia Yan to the main courtyard for a reprimand.

"My Jia family provides you with food and drink, but you are still not satisfied! It is the wealth of the Jia family that feeds your heart and dog lungs, and I misunderstood you. You thought that if you seduced Sheng'an, I would kill you." Promise to him? I tell you to dream! You are just a lowly homeless orphan girl, a servant of my Jia family, who wants to stand up and be the master, as long as you are old, you will not be given this opportunity!"

Jia Yan, who was kneeling under the scorching sun, was ashen-faced, she couldn't argue with a word, she could only lay down on the ground with tears in her eyes, her forehead touching the ground, begging the old lady for forgiveness.

The old lady didn't want to listen to her at first, but now she saw that she was quite sensible and snorted coldly, "It's really a misfortune for the family to raise you, a foxy girl. You have made my grandson come to this point, and you kneel down for me. Who Don't give her water to drink, let her kneel to atone for her sin." After that, he pointed to a stern and fierce woman who looked at Jia Yan and left angrily.

It was Jia Zhongshu who came in a hurry, so she didn't make her kneel down.

Jia Yan is also an excellent student in women's school, and she is often the best in piano skills. No matter how arrogant her mind is, this reprimand will send her to hell.No one knew whether it was an accident or death was a sign of ambition. In short, after three days, the news of Jia Yan's death came out.

Only then did Mrs. Jia panic, and she didn't dare to see Jia Yan's body.I only talked to the eminent monk, and I was relieved when I heard that the grandchildren of Jia's family already had a granddaughter to balance Yin and Yang, and Jia Yan's presence or absence was of no use.

In this way, Mrs. Jia is not allowed to do funeral things in the house, and only asks the temple to chant scriptures for her for a hundred days as repayment of the kindness of being the home of Jia's house all these years.

Jia Jiaming was greatly stimulated, he fell ill for a while, and when he returned to school, he became more silent than ever.

The brothers of the Lou family didn't know how to comfort him, seeing him forcefully smile, they also felt uncomfortable.It was Qin Xi who stole the wine from the house and told him that getting drunk would relieve all worries.

The children looked at him blankly, and didn't dare to talk nonsense. They drank a cup first, and Jia Jiaming took a sip, choking until tears flowed down. They couldn't stop for a while, and finally burst into tears.

"Good cry!" Qin Xi roared, and drank one cup after another, wiping his tears and said, "Cry louder, you will cry out if you have any grievances."

The brothers of the Lou family were also incited to drink together, and Zhu Dingbei sighed.

After half a day of class, when the teacher came to find him, he saw a few children stumbling around.Except for Ning Heng, who was not dripping with alcohol and hugged Zhu Dingbei, who was sound asleep, the four children had already rolled on the ground and yelled.Jia Jiaming cried until now, drank less, hiccupped while watching the master find someone, poured hangover soup one by one, and stood in a row to beat his palms.

The palms of his hands were flushed, and the elders who notified him also came.

Lou Shangshu was the most gentle, he led the two sheep-like grandsons away, Lou Anning winked at him, and when his grandfather coughed heavily, he shrank his head like a quail.The Marquis of Zhenbei came together with Commander Qin. When Qin Xi saw his grandfather, he ran away in fright. After several struggles, he could not escape the palm of the Commander. He was caught and took off his pants in front of everyone and beat him severely with the sole He slapped his butt, until he cried for his father and mother.

With a snort, Jia Jiaming was taken away by his brother Jia Jiahong who followed him.

If Zhu Dingbei hadn't been sound asleep and didn't even wake him up with hangover soup, he would definitely not have escaped a beating.

The old Hou Ye took him back and took the unclaimed Chang Xin Hou Ye back to the mansion.

When Zhu Dingbei woke up the next day, he saw Ning Heng, who was sleeping while holding his hands, with a bruise on the left and a swollen right on the right.As soon as he pulled his hand, Ning Heng opened his eyes and looked at him with clear eyes.

Zhu Dingbei laughed twice, "It's an itch for a while, let's give in, let's give in."

Ning Heng let go of him, opened the door and called for someone, and there was another frenzy.

Due to the bad behavior committed by the six people, the punishment of Guozixue was not light. They were not only punished to kneel and copy the rules of disciples every day at noon, but also responsible for cleaning the lecture hall after lunch.Zhu Dingbei created a set of broomsticks and flower guns by himself in a short period of time, and he often had fierce fights with Qin Xi. When the fight was over, the two bowed to each other: "Thank you for your kindness, the rich folks. "

The four happily stood upright, bowed and bowed: "I have seen the master."

The two turned their heads, and the tall figure of the master covered them, and they had another meal of bamboo braided fried meat.

The tiger autumn dissipated, and the wind in late autumn blew up the fallen leaves.

Jia Yan hadn't entered the ancestral grave, and Jia Jiaming had nowhere to know where he was buried. No one cleaned it up, and no one paid homage to him. After two months, the tombstone must have been covered with straw, and it was completely desolate.Thinking of this, I couldn't help crying again at night.But no matter how sad he is, he is the son of the Jia family, with studies and filial piety, there are too many things waiting for him to do.Like Zhu Dingbei and the others, he is not yet a teenager. He thrives in joy or sorrow, and his footsteps cannot stop for anyone.

The cold autumn in Luojing is short, and in a flash, the winter comes like a gust of wind and rain. After a winter snow, the weather suddenly turns cold.

November [-]th was Zhu Dingbei's ninth birthday. Although it was not a full birthday, but Zhu Dingbei returned to Beijing for the first year, and the old lady specially organized a birthday banquet, which was very lively.

Ning Heng and the others naturally received invitations, and Zhu Dingbei withdrew from the female family's room to entertain them in person.

After saying congratulations and presenting a congratulatory gift, Lou Anning put his arms around his shoulders and said, "It seems that you are destined to be with Shi Shi, don't you think so?"

No one answered, Lou Anning glared at them a few times, and was about to speak when she saw Qin Xi unwrap Ning Heng's congratulatory gift, her eyes widened, she snatched it from her hand, touched it and shouted that Ning Heng was eccentric.

Qin Xi scratched his head, seeing that he couldn't put it down because he was so rare, he wondered: "It's just a jade ring, I don't even like to wear it, if you like it, I'll give you mine." Patience is such a fragile ornament, every time it is damaged or broken, the family will say a few words, and then simply don't wear these waist ornaments, and put them all on the shelf.

"What do you know!" Lou Anning was jealous, "Do you think this is ordinary jade? Have you seen the family emblem on it? Take this piece of jade, let alone Luo Jing, you want more than [-]% of the shops in Dajing?" Take whatever you want, no need to pay!"

Several people gasped.

Originally, Zhu Dingbei ignored Lou Anning's usual bluffing and was talking to Ning Heng. At this moment, after listening to him, he couldn't help but take this unremarkable jade ring.After looking carefully for a few times, seeing the family emblem on the jade ring, he widened his eyes slightly, and asked Ning Heng, "Is what Lou Er said true?"

"Is there any truth to what I said? They say that you don't call me from the second floor to the second floor. I don't have a first name." Lou Anning snorted angrily.

Ning Heng said: "It doesn't matter, there is an upper limit. No more than one hundred taels per month."

Zhu Dingbei swallowed his saliva, he didn't know what he was thinking, and laughed: "I thought I could empty out your house with this, the second building is just making a fuss."

"Hey, Zhu Changsheng, don't be dissatisfied. It's a hundred taels a month, and it doesn't take a hundred taels to raise you like Qi San." In a sense, this jade ring is a token of the Ning family, so he dare not show it off. I thought about it, but I never thought that Ning Heng would give it away so happily.If he had known earlier...he would have asked Ning Heng for it, but it was too late, and he regretted it.

Zhu Dingbei coughed embarrassingly, pinched the jade jue and glanced at Ning Heng with a calm expression, and said, "Don't bully me that I'm not familiar with Luo Jing, this gift will go to the end, whoever you tell me, this jade How can I use it in my hand?"

Ning Heng was stunned.Few people would understand, but Zhu Dingbei knew very little about this matter, not to mention that even Qin Xi and Jia Jiaming didn't know about it, and it was even more impossible for him, a child who grew up in northern Xinjiang, to know the details.If Lou Anning hadn't made such a fuss today, he might have treated this piece of jade as an ordinary ornament and disposed of it at will - Master Zhu Xiaohou was even worse than Qin Xi, he didn't wear a waist ornament at all.

Ning Heng was not good at words, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while. Lou Ankang rescued him and said, "Look at the wild animal on it, Changsheng. This is the family emblem of the Ning family. As long as you see this mark in front of a store or a bank in the future, you can do it." Feel free to buy."

Zhu Dingbei noticed that Lou Ankang was referring to the Ning family, not Changxinhou's mansion.

He was fascinated by the Pixiu on it, he had never seen it again, and he had seen shops with Pixiu engraved on the plaques on the streets of Luojing and Beijiang.Pixiu has been a mythical animal that gathers wealth since ancient times, so he just took it as normal, and never thought it represented a certain family.He was startled, as Lou Anning said, the whole territory of Dajing is not counted as Xinna Xianbei Prefecture, the number of shops with the imprint of Pixiu in the [-] prefectures accounted for more than [-]% of the merchants, this is a huge and terrifying number ...

Qin Xi spoke his mind, "Ah Heng, so you are so rich!"

Lou Anning covered her mouth, only then did she realize that she had said something serious, and she couldn't help but look at Ning Heng apologetically.If he hadn't grown up together since childhood, and the two governments have a deep friendship, he would have nowhere to know about this kind of secret.Ning Heng shook his head, expressing that he was fine.

Zhu Dingbei laughed, and directly tied the jade ring around his neck, regardless of Lou Anning saying it was a waist ornament, he raised his hand and beat Ning Heng's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, I'll give you a bowl of longevity noodles today. "

The shock in my heart is only known to me.

Regarding Luo Jing, regarding these aristocratic families, in fact, he knew nothing.
