Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Watching the New Year’s Eve, accompanying relatives on the first day of the new year, mourning the past on the second day, visiting relatives on the third day, and visiting relatives and friends.

During the New Year's Eve, when the aristocratic family is busy, even the children are not free.

On the third day of junior high school, the married daughter of the Zhu family returned home early to pay a visit, and Miss Zhu brought back her four-month-old baby daughter.Everyone surrounded her with pity, and it was rare to see her appearance.

This girl really hits it off with the old lady, not only her birthday is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but even her facial features can be seen somewhat similar.

The old lady was very happy when she heard that, she looked at Zhu Dingbei who liked but dared not touch the immature baby, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes stretched, and said with a smile: "Nephew Uncle Xiao, in my opinion, the full moon must have followed the longevity. "

Zhu Chenyu stared straight at Zhu Dingbei when he heard the words, but he didn't pay attention at first, and it's even more serious now that he hasn't seen brother for a while.

Covering his lips and laughing, he didn't make fun of his younger brother's more and more beautiful appearance, but said: "Changsheng also followed grandma, after all, it's all thanks to grandma."

The sisters laughed and echoed, and the eldest sister Zhu Biyue said loudly: "No matter how old brother is, the girls in Luojing will not go crazy. I just don't know, who will be lucky enough to marry into our Marquis Mansion."

Zhu Dingbei didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, he let them tease him like a mountain.

On the night of Shangyuan, Zhu Dingbei and the others met on Luohu Road after the reunion dinner.

Congratulations are naturally indispensable when meeting each other.

With the new year and the new weather, everyone is smiling, not to mention the children who are one year older and eager to grow up.

Luohu Road leads to Luoyang Lake.

Luoshui flows from north to south, and the river channel becomes wider south of Luojing.In ancient times, some people listened to the theory of Fengshui and opened up the riverbed so that Luoshui could converge into a lake in the south of Luojing. Only then did Luoyang Lake have the beauty it is today.

Every year, Luojing's Lantern Festival is held on the shore of Luoyang Lake. At this time, Luohu Road is crowded with pedestrians and cars and horses are blocked.

Zhu Dingbei and the others got off the carriage in front of Luohu Road, Lou Ankang held his younger brother tightly, and said to them, "Be careful, don't get separated."

The patrol battalion has sent a lot of manpower here to maintain law and order, but every year there will be a lot of theft and trafficking at the Lantern Festival.Before Lou Ankang came, he had been instructed by Lou Shangshu, now seeing the bustling crowd, as if all the people in Luojing were crowded here, he couldn't help but become more cautious.

Qin Xi didn't take it seriously at first, but seeing Jia Jiaming being pushed by the crowd, he was squeezed behind the crowd several times, looking anxious to keep up but unable to get out, so he took his hand and said, "Follow me closely."

Jia Jiaming heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

They protect each other two by two, and only Zhu Dingbei is left alone.But he had nothing to worry about in such a scene, so he took the lead and shuttled through the crowd.

After walking through Luohu Road, it opens up to the shore of Luoyang Lake.Although there are many illuminated food stalls on both sides of the street, it is not as crowded as Luohu Road.

Lou Anning had a good time, looking at the sugar figurines being baked here, and the fancy lanterns over there, before disappearing after a while, it turned out that she had squeezed into the crowd to watch juggling.

This is a pain for his worrying elder brother, who doesn't care about having fun at all, and just keeps busy enough for those who stare at him.

Qin Xi was much faster than Lou Ankang, Jia Jiaming was obedient and shy, so he followed Qin Xi closely without telling him.On the contrary, Qin Xi and Lou Ershao had the same virtue, they fled from the left to the right after walking around, and Jia Jiaming followed behind him without stopping.

Zhu Dingbei shook his head and laughed, and watched slowly from the sidelines. When the four of them felt tired, they found a Lantern Festival stall to sit and eat some snacks.

Lou Anning sniffed, "Brother, it smells so good, do you smell it?"

Lou Ankang just panted, Zhu Dingbei laughed loudly: "The dog's nose is quite good, it should be donkey meat."

Lou Er rarely saw that Zhu Dingbei scolded himself, and he didn't care about him, he threw away his chopsticks and ran to the place where the fragrance was coming from.Lou Ankang was in a hurry, and Qin Xi stopped him as soon as he got up: "Eat yours, there are slaves following, are you afraid that he will be lost?"

He really disliked Lou Ankang's old mother and seemed to worry about it. He was tired and panicked for him watching from the sidelines.On the contrary, Jia Jiaming was a little envious. He lowered his head to eat the Lantern Festival and looked up at the excitement around him from time to time to cover up his momentary disappointment.

Lou Ankang was still worried, until he saw that the donkey meat stall was not far away, and he could see it when he looked up, so he concentrated on eating.

"Hey." Qin Xi pushed him, nuzui pointed in the direction of Lou Anning with Yuan Xiao in his mouth.A few people looked at it, after a while, there were a few more people standing in front of Lou Anning, they were Ma Chao and the house slaves of the Marquis of Yuanning.

Lou Anning was talking about something angrily, with an ugly expression on his face.

As soon as Lou Ankang moved, Ma Chao looked over. When he saw Jia Jiaming, he didn't care about bullying Lou Er Shao, and led his people towards him.

"Jia Shishi, sister Feifei, have you seen it?"

Today is his birthday, and his tenth birthday is such a festive day, so he sent invitations widely.He was the first to send it to Liu Feifei, but probably because of shyness, Liu Feifei didn't come to the banquet.

Before he came to Luoyang Lake, he deliberately went to Liu Zuoxiang's house, but he was told that Liu Feifei had gone out with a friend, and he didn't see her for half an hour after rushing all the way to find her.Unhappily, he saw Lou Anning guarding the donkey meat stall with a greedy face, so he vented his anger on him by speaking rudely.

At this time, Jia Jiaming was innocently angered by him, so he could only say: "I never saw it, I came out with my friends today."

It was only then that Ma Chao noticed Zhu Dingbei who was eating his Lantern Festival, and he got angry when he saw his calm look.Today, there is no Lord Marquis of Changxin to support him, let's see if he dares to fight against him.

Thinking of the embarrassment on New Year's Eve, Ma Chao kicked the table with his foot. The stall table was not turned over, but the Lantern Festival in the bowl was spilled on the table, and the water splashed everywhere.

Zhu Dingbei wiped the soup off his face and stood up.

"Yo, the grandson of the Marquis of Dingbei is also there, but this grandson's eyesight is so poor that he didn't see—ah!"

Everyone saw that Ma Chao suddenly flew back a foot, fell to the ground, clutched his legs and yelled.Zhu Dingbei was more straightforward than him, whoever made him unhappy would not just kick the table to make such an unstyled showdown, kicking as soon as he raised his foot.

Ma Chao broke out in cold sweat from the pain, clutching his legs in fear.

Zhu Dingbei has a sense of propriety, but in Ma Chao's view, he is just saying hello to his descendants. If he hadn't reacted astutely just now, he would have lost all descendants at this time!

While being helped up by the house slave, Ma Chao shouted angrily: "Are they all dead! Hit me!"

As soon as the house slave started, he saw three tall men dressed in the clothes of the house slaves of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion standing in front of Zhu Dingbei.They were all soldiers of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, and the old lady asked them to change into unremarkable domestic slave clothes to follow them out of fear.The soldiers of Zhenbeihou's mansion are different from those of other prince's mansions, each of them is an iron general who has retired from the battlefield, and they are a hundred times more fierce than the forbidden army.

Although there were only three of them, just standing there with a stern face and not saying a word was enough to make these house slaves who were usually fierce and fierce based on their status afraid to move.

"A bunch of trash, what are you doing standing there!" Ma Chao yelled angrily, but when he saw the three servants of Zhenbeihou's Mansion taking a step forward, he couldn't help but backed away a little bit, and when he came back to his senses, his expression became even uglier. .

Seeing that Ma Chao wasn't doing well today, Qin Xi was about to hit him hard, but Jia Jiaming grabbed him quickly and shook his head anxiously.

Lou Ankang said: "Young Lord, how can there be people and women on the street walking around at will, they should be watching the scenery from the pavilion."

Ma Chao also felt reasonable when he heard it, rolled his eyes, and thought that these three house slaves seemed difficult to deal with, and he was not bad at the moment, and he would have opportunities to settle accounts with Zhu Dingbei in the future.Then he said to Zhu Dingbei: "Zhu Dingbei, I have written down what happened today, you wait for me!" Then he took all the slaves and walked away quickly.

The Lantern Festival couldn't be eaten, and several people were also disturbed. It happened that Lou Anning came back with freshly baked donkey meat, so Zhu Dingbei and Qin Xi started to clean up the tables and chairs, and several people gathered around to eat and rest.

Jia Jiaming sat down, called the vendor over loudly, handed him a copper plate and said, "Please don't blame the stall owner for disturbing his business."

Ma Chao's turbulent situation did not damage the property, but the people under the emperor's feet have some eyesight, so how dare they provoke it?Those present threw away their copper coins and left one after another regardless of whether they had finished eating, and the others also avoided the stall far away.The peddler opened his eyes wide, the usual money was enough to cover his income for one night, and at the moment he thanked the little son Buddha for his kindness, and presented a few portions of Lantern Festival with great discernment.

Qin Xi was still on the sidelines, upset that Ma Chao was bullying others, and praised with a smile: "Changsheng's foot kicked well, what a joy!" He touched Zhu Dingbei with the Lantern Festival bowl as he spoke, full of heroism for drinking.

Lou Ankang sighed at the side: "One moment of happiness will cause endless troubles. Changsheng, you should be more careful in the future, and you can't be so impulsive like today."

If Ma Chao was really beaten up, the entire Zhenbeihou Mansion would not be able to please him.

Zhu Dingbei nodded indiscriminately, snatched the donkey meat that Lou Anning had worked so hard to adjust, and said while eating: "I see that kid looks stupid, why can't you all fail him in the exam, even on eleventh?"

He wondered.

Lou Anning was still smiling when he robbed her of food.Today, Zhu Dingbei kicked Ma Chao and let him leave in a disgruntled manner. It was really satisfying, let alone a piece of donkey meat, Lou Anning would be happy if he ate it all.

"He has the most evil minds, who knows if he has used some shady methods."

Jia Jiaming took Lou Anning's words, shook his head and said, "Ma Chao is taught by the Tai Tuo himself, so his homework will not be bad."

"I heard that his father was in poor health, and he didn't make it through when he was still in the womb. His mother and father had a deep relationship, and it was Ma Chaoke's father who blamed him. He was strangled to death by his mother...until his wife died of illness when he was five years old, his temperament was settled, he was moody, and he acted extreme. However, with the Tai Tuo around, he would not do things out of line, so the elders were also silent. Close one eye."

As the saying goes, the flaws do not conceal the virtues.

It is normal for boys to be troublesome, so no one thinks that Ma Chao, the devil in the world, has committed a heinous crime, and instead has high hopes for him.

Jia Jiaming solved Zhu Dingbei's doubts, and it was the first time for Qin Xi and the three of them to hear about it, so they couldn't help but wondered: "You know a lot on Eleventh, what else, let's talk about it together."

Jia Jiaming smiled shyly and stopped talking.

There are ten elder brothers above him, who are often taken out to meet friends by them.He speaks little and quietly, but he hears many things in his ears and remembers them in his heart, so he naturally knows more than his peers.

Lou Ankang sighed: "A hateful person must have something to be pitiful about."

"Don't pity him, he is still hateful!" Lou Anning shouted dissatisfied.

Seeing this, everyone started talking and laughing, and ran to the lantern riddles after a while, but unfortunately, except for Jia Jiaming, the others found nothing.

Guessing characters, guessing allusions, and guessing flowers and plants really stumped four people who are not specialized in academics.

Fortunately, in addition to guessing lantern riddles to win lanterns, there are other things to play in the market, such as throwing pots. Both Zhu Dingbei and Qin Xi are top leaders, and they won lanterns in a short time.The two Lou Ankang brothers are not jealous either, anyway, no matter who wins, they will share it with them.

Zhu Dingbei didn't like or dislike lanterns, so he only brought back the two largest lanterns.

The stall owner told Zhu Dingbei that these two lamps are everlasting lamps, which can last for a year without being extinguished. If they are lit for the elderly, they will be free from illness and disaster in this year, and they are great blessing lamps.

Zhu Dingbei was delighted when he heard this, and immediately took two, one to honor his grandmother, and the other to Ning Heng.

Lou Anning just laughed at him for his lack of vision, these two lamps have no other advantages except being big, and their shape is also very rough, how can there be those delicate lanterns that are so cute.Zhu Dingbei only joked that he was jealous of himself, and didn't listen to him at all.

The old lady was really happy, Zhu Dingbei lit the lamp himself, and then said goodbye.

In fact, no matter what the grandson gives, the old lady likes to know which men in the Zhenbeihou's mansion are not rough. It is not easy for the old Hou to stay at home with her honestly today, let alone give things.

The old lady couldn't help chatting with the old Hou Ye, just talking about how sensible and considerate Changsheng is, which made him tired of hearing it, and made the lantern worthless.

"Old man, just say it when you taste it, what kind of hero is talking about my lantern."

The old lady couldn't stop laughing.

Only then did the old Hou shut up embarrassingly, and said in his heart: Little bastard, it's useless for me to teach you horseback riding and archery. You don't know how to be filial to me, and all you want to do is please girls, hum.
