Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The late emperor's birthday sacrifice, and the follow-up strife after concubine Li gave birth to a stillborn baby did not pass through the high walls of the Huguo Temple to disturb the empress dowager's devotion to the memory of the late emperor.

The emperors of the Dajing Dynasty were buried in the imperial mausoleum, but they all had golden statues in Huguo Temple.

During the three-day sacrifice, the Empress Dowager personally used the Buddhist dew consecrated by eminent monks to recite sutras for the pure golden body of the late emperor, and she recited sutras every day until late at night.

After returning to the palace, no matter how serious the case of poisoning the emperor's heir was, the Empress Dowager closed the palace directly, not to mention the concubines who came to pay her respects, even Emperor Zhenyuan was shut down.However, all the concubines are also accustomed to it. Every year when the Empress Dowager comes back from offering sacrifices to the late Emperor, she is not in a good mood.

The next day, Ning Heng returned to school.

Lou Anning was dragged by his elder brother, and still yawned with his eyes closed, walked in step by step.When Lou Ankang saw Ning Heng, he brought his younger brother to greet him. Lou Anning moved his nose, put his head on Lou Ankang's shoulder on tiptoe, opened his eyes, opened his teeth and claws and said, "Why does it smell so delicious? Ah Heng, you have given Changsheng a small treatment again, right? What about mine, what about mine?"

Zhu Dingbei laughed out loud, saying that he had a dog's nose, and he wanted to eat it in a dream.

Lou Ankang patted his head dumbfounded, and coaxed: "After a few days of rest, let Uncle Ning make a special table for you."

Lou Anning yawned again with his mouth open, tears came out from the corners of his eyes, he clasped his elder brother with both hands, and simply lay on his back and continued to sleep on him.

Qin Xi snorted: "This kid went to be a thief last night, why hasn't he woke up yet?"

Lou Ankang said helplessly: "He saw a draft of agricultural equipment in Grandpa's study, and he didn't sleep all night playing with it."

"Yes." Qin Xi laughed, "Then the artwork won't run away again, so there's no need to sleep and forget food."

Zhu Dingbei: "He didn't forget to eat when he was sleeping."

Several people laughed when they heard the words.

After Ma Chao went to class in a hurry, he was very quiet for a while.Lou Anning lamented that it is not bad for us if something happened to the empress, at least this one will not be able to make a fuss.

This is of course a naive joke.

But anyway, no matter how serious this matter is, it will not have much personal impact on the teenagers studying in Guozixue Academy.

The Waking of Insects has passed, and all things are revived.

On the day of rest on the tenth day of February, several people from Zhu Dingbei met for an outing in the western suburbs of Luojing.

Zhenbei Hou's Mansion is to the west, so they all met at Zhu's house and went out of the city together.The old lady told him repeatedly: "Walking in the green is fine, but you must not go hunting in the woods. In the spring, those beasts will be hungry and eat desperately. Also, remember not to go into the water, because the river water can freeze people in this weather. "

Six ten-year-old children go out to play, accompanied by every elder, which is really worrying.

While tidying up for him, the old lady was still worried, she pushed the old Hou Ye to pick up a few government soldiers to follow.

Zhu Dingbei, Ningheng, and Qin Xi walked in front, followed by three carriages.Lou Anning is jealous, but his equestrian skills are really hard to say, there are so many people at the foot of the capital, accidents are no small matter.Lou Ankang promised to let him mount the horse when he left the west city gate, and Lou Anning calmed down, looked at the backs of Zhu Dingbei and the three of them, and muttered again.

The geomantic omen of Luojing City is excellent, not to mention the north-south Luoshui, and several water lakes, but the Hanshui, the second longest river in Dajing, is guided by the mountains around Luojing from west to east.

The west of Luojing is densely covered with mountains and forests, the water is deep, the grass is fertile, and the eyes are full of green and spring colors, and the mountain flowers are blooming.

When they reached a wide water bank, several people got off their horses.

Lou Anning wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he had only been on the horse for three quarters of an hour and hadn't run fast, it was very strenuous to keep his waist straight on the horse.If it wasn't for fear of their jokes, Lou Anning would have liked to get back into the carriage and lie down.

Lou Ankang handed him water, seeing Qin Xi and Jia Jiaming busy letting the slaves take down the things on the carriage and spread them out, and just thinking of going to help, they heard Lou Anning coughing in embarrassment.

"Be careful."

He could choke on drinking water, and he really didn't know what to say to his younger brother.

Lou Anning blushed from coughing, while shaking her fingers for Lou Ankang to see.The latter looked in the direction he pointed, only to see Zhu Dingbei, who was fully armed, standing leisurely on the horse's back, not even pulling the rein with his hands, but holding his hands in a leisurely manner.The horse still led him forward, but it didn't make him fall off the horse.

"..."

Lou Ankang withdrew his envious gaze, gave Lou Aning comfort, and said with a light smile: "Changsheng grew up on horseback, let's not compare with him."

Lou Anning pushed him away in disgust, he was no longer a three-year-old child, and his elder brother coaxed him with this tone.

Qin Xi and Jia Jiaming obviously saw it too, Qin Xi yelled, and ran to Zhu Dingbei regardless of the matter at hand, yelling: "Longevity teach me!"

The horse that Zhu Dingbei rode under him was a good breed from the Marquis of Changxin's mansion. It was four feet tall and was about the same height as the war horses in Beijiang.Standing on the horseback, you can feel the cool air in early spring becoming clearer, with a wide field of vision, and you can clearly see the surging Han River and the heavy mountains in the distance.For a while, it also makes people feel open-minded and refreshed.

Ning Heng was startled, Jia Jiaming grabbed Qin Xi faster than him, and said anxiously: "Don't startle the horse."

It would be a great crime if Zhu Dingbei fell off his horse.

Qin Xi was startled, and quickly covered her mouth.Zhu Dingbei jumped off his horse and laughed at his cowardly appearance.Qin Xi didn't care about arguing with him, and chased him to teach him to stand on horseback and stand alone in the world. There is nothing more masculine than this!

Zhu Dingbei patted him on the shoulder, "I've practiced for several years, if you want to reach my level, tsk tsk, it's difficult."

Qin Xi shouted: "In a word, do you teach or not?"

"Don't be impatient, you are too careless. Since you want to be a teacher, I will accept you as an apprentice, as long as you don't mind suffering."

Lou Anning also salivated and leaned over, saying, "I want to learn too, I want to learn Changsheng."

Zhu Dingbei took a look at him, and couldn't bear to say: "Forget it, you are our No. [-] engineer in Dajing in the future, if you break it, I can't afford it."

Lou Anning kept complaining, but she also knew what Zhu Dingbei said was the truth.There's no need to gamble with your body because of a moment of anger, after all, you can't eat too much, he'd better learn how to ride a horse honestly.

The house slaves pulled the horse away, and a piece of cloth had been spread on the ground, which was covered with the things they brought.

Zhu Dingbei leaned over to look, and immediately laughed: "Who got the kite, haha, who wants to fly the kite today?"

Three-year-old children like to fly kites in Dajing, because it is a favorite chasing game for girls, and older boys will not fly kites outside no matter how much they like it.Although Zhu Dingbei grew up in northern Xinjiang, when he was very young, his elder brother also carried him and flew a kite on horseback.Later, his mother teased him that it was a little girl's game, so he stepped on the kite and refused to play again.

Qin Xi returned a bigger mocking face and said, "This is for kite shooting."

Shoot a kite, you can understand how to play this game as soon as you hear it.

Zhu Dingbei lived so many years in his previous life without knowing this new game of Luo Jing's children, so he couldn't help being curious: "Since it's kite shooting, these kites are not enough for me to shoot alone, so what are you playing?"

Qin Xi rolled his eyes, "Then let's compare, and whoever loses will be punished."

Although Zhu Dingbei's riding and archery is better than him, kite shooting also requires skill. He doesn't believe that Zhu Dingbei has never even heard of this game, and he can beat himself as soon as he gets started.It's not that he's boasting, Man Luojing is better at shooting kites than him, and he hasn't met him yet.

Lou Anning immediately clamored to start a bet, and even Jia Jiaming responded positively. They all bet on Qin Xi's victory except Ning Heng. They all knew Qin Xi's strength.

Zhu Dingbei embraced Ning Heng and said, "Brother has insight, watch me kill all directions today!"

What a joke, he is the young marshal of the Zhu family who has even shot a big eagle, and he can't compare to a milk doll.

As soon as the game started, several people couldn't wait.Qin Xi asked the slaves to run and fly the kite, followed by him and Zhu Dingbei.

A dozen kites of different shapes and colors were flying in the air at the same time. Qin Xi glanced at Zhu Dingbei provocatively, and shouted to the front: "Aren't you full, run faster and fly higher!"

The strength of the house slaves was exhausted.

Qin Xi and Zhu Dingbei drew their bows at the same time, aiming while running.Qin Xi preemptively shot down the butterfly kite with one arrow and deserved the first prize.

Lou Anning jumped up and shouted, "Qin Xi is amazing! Shoot again, and Chang Sheng will lose all his pants to us!"

Several people laughed.

Zhu Dingbei shot an arrow.

I saw that two kites in the sky were pierced by an arrow!

"Ah!" Lou Anning and the others immediately forgot their position, excited as if they were the one who killed two birds with one stone, "Longevity! Come again!"

Qin Xi was taken aback, but he was not afraid, and his blood surged up immediately, and he yelled to shoot the second arrow.

The two scrambled to be the first, one arrow after another pierced through the air.

Seeing the kites falling down like raindrops, Lou Anning told the servants to disperse and run away, and at the same time called for people to join in with more kites.For a while, cheers and shouts resounded through the entire Shuijian Valley, and the echoes swayed.

Zhu Dingbei shot a few arrows to find the feeling, and the speed became faster and faster.He is not big now, but his running speed is very fast, and his patience is extremely strong.Qin Xi was panting unavoidably after running for a quarter of an hour, and his speed did not slow down. Half an hour later, the few people were still unsatisfied, but found that the kite they brought had already died.

You don't need to count to know who the winner is. Qin Xi was convinced of the loss and asked him pantingly, "Why don't you shoot kites in northern Xinjiang?"

"Hahaha, you should have asked me this question long ago!"

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so ignorant, and these guys, who took out the most precious things in their bodies to bet, would lose miserably this time.

Zhu Dingbei happily shared the spoils with Ning Heng, and said back to him: "There are few birds in the Northern Cold, but there are many geese. I started hunting geese when I was three years old. Can this kite compare to live birds?"

Qin Xi was full of envy, thinking why he hadn't been reincarnated in Beijiang.

Lou Anning praised Zhu Dingbei again and again, and at the end, she was stunned for a moment, and shouted to the sky: "My kite, I haven't played it yet!"

Several people laughed and made noise, and sat down after a while.

The house slave built the fire and set up a pot of thick soup that had already been boiled, which was the skill of Chef Ning.After it's hot, open the lid, and the rich aroma will make you greedy.

When the house slave served it, Qin Xi held a bowl without fear of being hot, and drank it happily.Lou Anning also wanted to follow suit, but after a while she was scalded until she covered her ears, and got a lesson from his elder brother.

This appetizing fragrance did not attract the hungry wild beasts that the old lady was worried about, but it attracted a pair of uninvited guests.

"Brother Minghe!"

Qin Xi didn't bother to eat, and when he saw someone coming, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, stood up and shouted.

Dong Minghe and Huang Yu came together, raised the prey in their hands, and laughed loudly: "You guys don't mind if we join?"

"Of course not." Qin Xi graciously asked them to sit down.

Zhu Dingbei asked the servants dressed as house slaves to take the roe and pheasant to deal with, and the house slaves on the side began to build the fire, find firewood, bring water, and went to work.

He smiled and said, "The two senior brothers are in great spirits today."

If Zhu Dingbei remembered well, Dong Ming and the two left in the first half of this year, and they must have plans by now.Looking at the two of them, they are very relaxed.

"You too, it's really strange that even Ah Heng is here." Dong Minghe seemed in a very good mood, smiling at everyone.

Ning Heng nodded to him.

Huang Yu took the soup bowl and thanked him with a smile.Looking at the milky white color of the soup and the rich aroma, these young gentlemen really enjoy it, much more delicate than Dong Ming and this rough man.What a blessing today.

He was drinking when he suddenly heard a crisp voice whispering: "Brother, your pants are wet, should you change them in the car, be careful of catching a cold."

Coincidentally, two people were robbed by the soup—cough cough cough!

Jia Jiaming looked at Huang Yu and Zhu Dingbei innocently and suspiciously, not knowing what he said wrong.
