In the 28th year of Zhenyuan, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It's no different from any new year. The first son of the new year is worshiping the ancestors. After that, the people will go to the Houtu Niangniang Temple closest to their homes to worship and offer incense.The same is true for the royal family. After offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, they will sacrifice to the Sifang Sheji Temple together with the royal relatives, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

From the second day of junior high school, the people of Luojing began to move around.It was the day to return to her natal family, and the five young ladies of the Zhu family returned with their wives and children, which made Zhenbei Hou's mansion very lively for a while.

Yue Yuan'er Xianbao seemed to be holding the nanny who was holding her younger brother, as soon as she entered the mansion, she ran towards Zhu Dingbei, "Uncle!"

"Nine, nine!"

The immature baby voice followed, and Yue Yuan'er proudly said: "I taught it, my brother is so smart, you can learn it as soon as you learn it."

Seeing the children rushing in his direction, hugging the younger one, and leading the older one, Zhu Dingbei smiled and said, "Yueyuaner is also smart." He gave the red envelopes he had prepared to his siblings, and turned around to joke with his sister-in-law .

The family is warm and close, with children who love to laugh and play, and there is never a moment of desertion.Before leaving, Miss Zhu Wu said to the old Hou Ye: "My lord, there is a young nephew in my husband's family. He is good at martial arts and wants to join the army." She briefly mentioned the other party's yearning for Zhu's army, and named him : "He wants to join the Zhu family army before the new imperial order. I wrote to ask the third uncle or the sixteenth uncle to write him a letter of introduction. Do you think so?"

The old master pondered and said: "After the copying and opening of the dynasty, the new court order will be promulgated. When the migratory army moves into Xianbei, in the future, whether it is the Zhu family army or other garrison forces, they will absorb from there. Your nephew is still young After arriving in the Zhu family army, you have to train from the beginning to be the leader of the army for two years. It is better to learn some real skills in the training camp. Besides, if you perform well, you will have a military rank after being assigned, and the position can be implemented."

Knowing that his granddaughter said this to him, it must be because of his kindness, fearing that she would be difficult to deal with or embarrass her, the old Hou Ye explained it very carefully in front of his grandson-in-law.

The fifth uncle was not disappointed when he heard the polite refusal in his words, but smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, that kid has a wild temper, and he is full of enthusiasm for going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I don't know how the atmosphere in the training camp is. That's why I wanted to bypass it. But according to what you said, the training camp also has merits, and I will explain it to him when I go back, so that he can choose."

"It should be like this." Old Hou Ye said with a smile, "If he doesn't want to take advantage of the first new army, he can come to me again, and I will arrange for him. But make an agreement with him, if he chooses this Lu, it’s not easy to be jealous of others in the future.”

The fifth aunt's eyes lit up slightly, and she bowed deeply to the old Hou Ye's advice.

No matter what will happen in the training camp of the relocated army, this first new army must win a good fortune, and it will not be sloppy.If you are lucky enough to seize this opportunity, it will be better than accumulating military merits foolishly, and the road to promotion will be smoother.

Zhu Dingbei listened to it and paid attention to it. Two days later, the fifth son-in-law sent another letter, but said that the child still insisted on joining Zhu's army, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

The letter quoted the young man's original words, saying that no matter five years or ten years, he would join the Zhu family's army if he did not change his mind. Bad training camp.

"Haha, I guess the kid has eyesight."

Old Hou Ye was full of joy.

Zhu Dingbei also smiled and said: "Since that's the case, we might as well help him. As for what kind of fortune he can have, it all depends on his own efforts."

Regardless of whether the other party intends to rely on Fifth Sister's in-laws and Zhu Jiapan's relationship map to facilitate him, they have always relied on real skills in the Zhu family's army, and they will not open the door for him.Because the other party wanted to join Zhu's army in Liangzhou, Zhu San wrote the letter of introduction.Knowing that the other party left Beijing the next day after receiving the letter, Laohou and his grandson laughed and said that this person had a quick temper.

This small episode did not make this new year's festival any different from the past. Because of the grandchildren, Zhu Ning and Qinlou's family have come closer these years, and the first batch of people came to Zhenbeihou's mansion to pay New Year's greetings at the beginning of the new year. Even with them, the old Mrs. Hou Ye would have to walk around with Zhu Dingbei's various families. After resting, it seems that it will be the Lantern Festival.

Last year Ning Heng's birthday was due to the change of Zhu's family and he had to run around and did not make arrangements. This year, the Queen Mother lived in seclusion in the Huguo Temple, and he no longer visited the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the palace. Naturally, several people gathered in Changxinhou's Mansion early in the morning, calling for friends Friends have not stopped from morning to night, so there is a lot of celebration.

When it came to the Lantern Festival, several people from Zhu Dingbei made an appointment to go out to watch the lanterns together.

The Lantern Market by the Luoyang Lake is the same as before, with bustling crowds, streets decorated with lights, and vendors everywhere.

A few people were drinking in the restaurant, Qin Xi was rarely emotional, and said sadly: "In the future, I'm afraid this is the last time I will watch lanterns with you. When I go to the training camp, you must remember to take my lantern next year. The sky lanterns are also lit, and I will tell you my New Year’s wishes every year, so don’t be lazy.”

Jia Jiaming bowed his head to drink and stopped talking, Lou Anning felt sad, and still said awkwardly: "Raising sky lanterns is a trick only girls are fond of. Why are you still so rare after so many years? I really don't know how old you are. .”

"It's good to have expectations in your heart. What does this have to do with age?" Qin Xi muttered, as if you weren't the most excited one every year when you put out the lanterns.

Lou Anning stopped arguing with him, and just said: "Brother and I have discussed it, we will leave on the fourth day of February, and we will celebrate our birthday at home in a few days, so we will practice it at that time, and we don't need to get together again."

"In such a hurry?"

After hearing the words, several people put down their wine glasses and looked at the two brothers.

Lou Ankang saw his younger brother hanging his head, so he said, "It's better to go out earlier, and bandits and refugees on the road will come out less to do activities."

After a pause, he coughed and said, "My brother and I are going this trip. We shouldn't be back before the weak crown ceremony. Take care of yourself. We will communicate with you when we arrive. Qin Xi, you have assigned a training camp and remember to go with you." Let's just say that although we may not be in the same county, we are still in the Xianbei Mansion, and we can take care of things. On November [-], you must write to us when you are named on the gold list. Changsheng, my grandpa wants to ask you and Ah Heng to help take care of it... ..."

After the words were finished, the sadness of parting and parting was tinged in my heart, and the incident actually made people feel quite desolate in such a prosperous and festive day.

"Hey, don't be so embarrassing, my brother and I won't come if we don't go this time."

Lou Anning said with a smile: "It's been two years, and we don't dare to travel far when grandpa is old, just this time! When we come back, I wonder if I can take grandpa's class and let him enjoy it quickly. Qingfu, brother..." He and Lou Ankang looked at each other, and it was rare for them to be in sync for a day, "He might not be an official, but when he figured it out in the past two years, I will definitely write to tell you you."

Zhu Dingbei said: "Don't worry, I have already written to Father years ago to ask him to take care of you. In our Zhu Family Army, the Gongqi Camp has always been given preferential treatment, you just go, if you are really bullied, just report it." The names of me and my father."

"puff."

The twin brothers laughed out loud at the same time, "Then we can borrow the majesty of the coach."

Zhu Dingbei laughed, "However, the climate there is quite different from that in Luojing. You should always be careful and listen to the old men in the army. If you try hard enough, no one will love you."

The two brothers quickly agreed.

It was only at this time that Qin Xi dully realized how rare the opportunity to get together would become. Lou Dawu would come back every two years, but he didn't have a definite date.

After he came out of the training camp, he had to earn enough military merits and ranks after joining the army, so that he could be led back to Beijing every three years to report on his duties. He didn't know that it would take several years of hard work.Thinking of this, the sadness in my heart could not be suppressed.

Even though he always wanted to go far away, he never seriously thought about the upcoming parting.

They run their own way, with their ambitions in all directions. How long will it take before they willingly return to Luojing, the place where they grew up?Perhaps, at that time, there will be many involuntary, when we meet again, can we still be as close as we are today...

Jia Jiaming smiled and said: "I will know where to go in August. If we can go to Xianbei as well, the four of us may still have a chance to meet. However, I have wronged Changsheng and Ah Heng, and I have to guard the rear for us. We'll be back."

If he really left, the Chen family's mansion would naturally be handed over to Zhu Dingbei to help manage it.

Their families and relatives can only be entrusted to the people they trust the most. In this way, Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng who stayed in Luojing will indeed be exhausted.

The Lou family brothers toasted to the two of them to thank them very winkingly, and after a while they booed loudly.

The darker the night, the brighter the lanterns.

When the wine was half drunk, they stopped drinking and went to the street to play.Such an opportunity may not be available even if they reunite in the future, and they all cherish it very much.

Lou Ankang said with a smile: "I still remember that year, Changsheng won two lamps here, and we all laughed at him for his lack of vision. Unexpectedly, the headlights are really strong, and now they can still shine even after changing the candles. good."

"Who told you to only favor the peony national color or the lantern with the eagle's wings? It's too late to regret it now. I haven't been able to find such a long-burning lantern on the street in the past two years."

Lou Anning laughed and said, "Why don't you say that no one appreciates it, and the store is afraid of losing money, so no one is willing to do it."

Zhu Dingbei put his shoulders on his shoulders and said: "It's better not to do it in the future, so my two lanterns can definitely be the ancestors of the longevity stars in the lanterns."

"What a big breath."

Lou Anning shook his hand, slipped to a stall selling donkey meat, asked loudly for a few cents, and greeted them enthusiastically.

Jia Jiaming smiled, "After so many years, the taste of Lou Er has not changed."

After hearing this, several people couldn't help laughing.

On that day, when they released the sky lanterns, they couldn't help but pray in their hearts: I only hope that this love will last forever, so that the old people will not grow old.

The author has something to say: early.

The mother said that she felt overwhelmed, and they were going to go their separate ways to feed the grown-up baby, and they were reluctant (ㄒoㄒ).
