Better to live forever [Rebirth]

After receiving his father's reply, Zhu Dingbei couldn't help but rejoice at Jia Jiaming's decision to follow Qin Xi to the new army in the north without hesitation.

If he was living in Luojing at this time, even if he had been expelled from Jia's residence, with his personality, he would not be able to sit idly by and ignore what happened to Jia Xifu and his son.It's also fortunate that he is in the new army's army building position, otherwise, if he pursues an official career like those champions in the past, he will inevitably be implicated by the Jia family's crimes. In the lightest, his reputation will be damaged, and in the worst case, his official career will be ruined.

The pain is still inevitable, I hope he can survive this level.Zhu Dingbei watched the letter paper burnt out, and said silently in his heart.

That night, Ning Heng did not sneak into his room, he was in Huguo Temple at this time.The news came the day before yesterday that the Empress Dowager was sick, and he should visit her because of emotion and reason.Moreover, the gold and silver ores that Master Huiqing had supervised for the past two years had been sealed off and all of them had arrived in Luojing. The amount was not small, and Ning Heng also took the opportunity to visit it himself.

After a storm, Luo Jing looked calmer than ever.

It seems that he was hit by Jia Xifu's crime of treason. Just a few days after Jia's family was imprisoned, the emperor fell ill and handed over the government affairs to the second prince Lin Wang and the fifth prince Zhen Wang to take care of him. Under the will, he closed the palace for half a month to recuperate before returning to court.After he recovered from his illness, Ning Heng went to see him, and when he came back, he said that the emperor's hair had grown, and he looked much older.

At that time, Gu Chao'an was also reading a book, and he didn't express anything when he heard the words. Seeing that Zhu Dingbei was worried, he just sighed and smiled: "It's all over."

Whether it's hatred or the long-awaited affection, everything has become calm.Maybe there is still a bit of resentment, but he is no longer moved by this person, whether it is good or bad, now he has completely let go of Liang Sanshao's past, just an ordinary person, an old mother who hopes that his relatives and friends will be safe and successful Ordinary people who want nothing more, nothing more.

Zhu Dingbei sighed to Ning Heng in private about his strength and heart, but Ning Heng frowned and said, "Changsheng, I don't want you to be like him, and I won't let you become the second Young Master Liang."

The kind of elegance that sees through the world of mortals, the internal strength is full of scars, but it is impossible to heal after a long time.Gu Chao'an just learned to bear it, and also learned to ignore his own emotions, instead of being truly chic.Ning Heng hopes that Zhu Dingbei can always keep this fiery heart of a child, no matter how many changes he encounters in the future, he will cherish and love others and himself.

Zhu Dingbei was startled when he heard the words, and smiled lightly: "I understand."

He wouldn't let himself go this far either.

During dinner that day, the old lady and Zhu Dingbei repeated the old saying: "In two days, there will be a poetry festival in Luoyang Lake, and many families will go boating there. If you don't live forever, go and see the excitement, you What can I do if I’m not at home or going to those unscrupulous places every day?” She winked at Zhu Dingbei, hoping that he would restrain his tracks and cherish his sweetheart, and it would be best to take advantage of this boat trip If you have the opportunity, you can confirm your mind with him, so that you can marry him back home as soon as possible.

Zhu Dingbei had no choice but to agree when he saw that the old Hou Ye followed suit and urged him to go outside more often to see if there were any girls he liked.

After he took over the title, he first accompanied Shengjia to the Xianbei New Army for a while, and then there were turmoil in Luojing. The warning is that teachers who have errands should do errands, and those who study should concentrate on their studies. Even some idle dudes are reminded not to interfere with right and wrong, so they are usually deserted.

He is not at home, or in Hualiu Street, and occasionally runs to Changxinhou's Mansion twice, so there are few other entertainments.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has finally recovered from his illness, this is a good trend for the Luo Jing family, so the children of the family who have not seen each other for a long time sent out invitations to initiate this lake tour poetry meeting.

Zhu Dingbei was really not interested in poetry and songs, and he didn't want to go to such a place of sour Confucianism, but the two elders were so kind and enthusiastic, so they rode horses and went to Luoyang Lake early on that day.Luoyang Lake is closer to Zhu's house, but when Zhu Dingbei arrived, he found that the carriage from Changxinhou's Mansion had already arrived.It turned out that Ning Heng was afraid that he would wait, so he went out half an hour earlier on purpose.

When the two of them came, there were only a few servants from aristocratic families by the lake to make arrangements for the master. When there were more people here, Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng had already taken a boat to the center of the lake to find a place with deep reeds. Hide away in a secluded and cool place.

Zhu Dingbei said: "These people are really full. To look at a flower requires writing a poem, and to look at a pine tree has to be affectionate. Now that you see this lake, you can't let it go. Do you think reading has damaged your brain? , see the world moaning without illness."

This is not the first time he said this, Ning Heng tilted his head and kissed him, "There are many things that are inconvenient to say, and they can only use the flowers, plants and landscapes to say it, it's fine if you don't want to listen."

Zhu Dingbei snorted, "But it's true, generally, if the poems are well written, the flattery will be good."

Ning Heng couldn't help laughing: "Are you talking about eleven?"

Zhu Dingbei glanced at him, "If Eleven wants to flatter someone, he will definitely be able to coax them into submission, but in this world, he can count the people he can flatter with a single slap."

Seeing that he was protecting his shortcomings, Ning Heng didn't say any more.The two were floating on the small boat, Zhu Dingbei folded a large lotus leaf and covered their faces, their voices became quieter when they spoke, and they felt drowsy.Ning Heng pulled him closer, fanned him with a folding fan, and he fell asleep after a while.As the sun rose high, Uncle Ning, who was punting the boat, reminded in a low voice: "Master Hou, someone is coming."

"Let them go."

Ning Heng lowered his voice, not wanting to wake Zhu Dingbei up, but Uncle Ning said, "Shui Sheng brought them here, and it looks like they're here to find us."

Zhu Dingbei, who was in a shallow sleep, had already woken up when Uncle Ning opened his mouth, and said in a muffled voice, "Did you see whose boat it is?" If it was Zhu's boat, Uncle Ning would not have such a Having said that, he was curious about who could help Shuisheng to guide him.

Uncle Ning didn't recognize him, he rowed out the boat under Zhu Dingbei's signal, and met Shuisheng in a short while.

Shuisheng touched the lotus leaf, jumped onto the boat with his strength, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, this is the lady of the Liu family and the Gao family. When the old master passed by and saw that they were looking for you, he asked me to lead the way."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows, his grandpa is quite leisurely today, so why is he free to take care of these trivial matters.But he didn't know that the old marquis had already heard the words of his sweetheart from the old lady's mouth, and couldn't help but want to come over and have a glimpse of his future granddaughter-in-law.Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived here, Shui Sheng who stayed on the shore said that he went to hide in the lake with Ning Heng boy. He scolded his grandson who didn't know how to be funny. Thinking that he must fulfill his grandson's beauty no matter what, he became a moon old man once.

Shui Sheng was also helpless, before he could say anything, Liu Feifei had already stepped onto the bow of the boat and said, "Master Zhenbei, is it convenient for me to take a step to talk?"

Zhu Dingbei got up, and Ning Heng held his hand.He turned around and saw that Ning Heng's brows and eyes were cold, and he was about to get angry. He laughed and said: "I heard that her family is going to make a marriage for her, don't be upset."

Ning Heng was still not happy, but after being glared at by him, he had no choice but to let go.

The two boats headed for a dock by the lake, Zhu Dingbei and Liu Feifei went onto the dock one after another, and after the two boats had pulled away, Liu Feifei said, "My lord, I hope my presumptuous request will not be ignored." bother you."

"Miss Liu, you're being polite. You said Eleven's cousin is just like my cousin. If I can help you with anything, you just say it's okay."

Zhu Dingbei spoke gently, but Liu Feifei laughed out loud, "Before I said anything, you have separated from me first. Don't worry, although you saved me last time, I was thinking It's better to be able to marry you than to marry someone else. But since you have no intention of getting married, I don't think there is anything wrong. Don't be afraid that I will pester you. After all, we have known each other since childhood. What kind of person am I? Should have known."

Seeing that she was still as forthright as she was when she was a child, Zhu Dingbei laughed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my villainous heart."

Liu Feifei returned a smiling face and said, "I'm here today, and I do have one thing to ask you."

"You said."

Liu Feifei then said: "My family has already arranged a marriage for me. I won't hide it from you. It's in Yangzhou Mansion, and the wedding date will be around the end of the year. I'm afraid it's not convenient for my cousin to come back, so I want you to send me some Things are going to Xianbei. Once I get married, in the future... I'm afraid it will be very difficult to see you again."

Zhu Dingbei was surprised, "It's just a handover, you just order someone to bring it to my house, and I will make arrangements for you. But why is it so hasty."

"It's not too hasty, I'm not young after all. Besides... you know, Ma Chao has been pestering me for the past two years, and I don't have a good reputation in Luojing, and my family is afraid that there will be many nights and dreams. I'm well married."

Liu Feifei's eyes like the scorching sun in June were also stained with melancholy, obviously the matter of marrying far away was not as easy for her as she said.

Zhu Dingbei didn't like to ask too many questions, so he just said: "Since that's the case, please take care of it, and I will add some dowry for you later, it can be regarded as preparing for you on the [-]th."

Liu Feifei said gratefully: "My cousin has such a close friend like you, I am really happy for him. Actually, this time I came to find Lord Hou because of my cousin...the Jia family has no room for maneuver in this matter, my mother is with me Said, in the future, my cousin may only be able to serve in the northern border. I can't share anything for him, I just hope that in the future, when I marry someone, he will not be related to me. If there is something he keeps from it, please You friends must write to Yangzhou to let me know that I will do my best for him.”

Liu Feifei looked at Zhu Dingbei seriously. This promise had been brewing in her heart for a long time, and it was not impulsive.

Zhu Dingbei nodded, and his smile deepened: "Eleventh has a sister like you, and I am also happy for him. If you are worried, write a letter, and I will convey it for you."

Liu Feifei felt relieved when she heard the words, thanked her, then looked at the two boats that were closer in the water, and said to Zhu Dingbei with a smile: "I don't know what Sister Gao and Lord Changxin are talking about."

"……say what?"

Zhu Dingbei's smiling face froze.
