Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Master Zhu's words caused Zhu Dingbei to toss and turn all night. When he woke up the next day, his face was much haggard. When he went to accompany the old lady for dinner in the morning, he looked drowsy.

A few days ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival was the old lady's birthday. That day, the old lady accepted the gift from her grandson and said with a smile that the gift was still second. If she could talk to her more, she would be happier.From that day on, before Zhu Dingbei went to school every day, he would go to the old lady's room to say hello, and had breakfast with them before leaving.

Coincidentally, the old Hou Ye was called away early in the morning today, but there was a person who was rarely seen in the old lady's house.

Little Wang.

"I've met Young Master." Xiao Wang smiled and looked at Zhu Dingbei with some scrutiny.

Zhu Dingbei pretended not to notice, and smiled at each other: "Aunt Wang, you don't have to be polite, you came to grandma so early, but what good news do you have?"

When Xiao Wang was about to answer, the old lady took his hand, looked at him carefully, and said distressedly: "What's wrong with Changsheng? But last night, your grandfather made things difficult for you, why did you look so bad?" She said Then, let someone go and invite the doctor from the mansion.

Zhu Dingbei hurriedly stopped him, and comforted him: "Grandmother, don't worry. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night. I'm young and have a good foundation. I'll be fine if I sleep well tonight."

"You can't mess around like this at a young age. When I rarely went out the other day, I heard someone say that you sleep in the school all day long. You child can't lose self-discipline just because your grandpa and I let you go. Otherwise, I don’t want Shuisheng to serve you next to me tomorrow, my grandmother specially sent someone to watch you sleep at night.”

Zhu Dingbei hurriedly begged for mercy: "Grandmother, grandson knows he was wrong, and there will be no next time." Afraid that she would teach her a lesson again, he asked Xiao Wang's reason for coming.

Then the old lady said: "It's your second sister who is happy, your aunt wants to visit, come and tell me."

Second Miss Zhu has been married for many years without having a son or a daughter, and her two younger sisters have come ahead of her.The old lady was worried about her, so she was naturally very happy to hear her good news.However, looking at Changsheng's appearance now, the joy in my heart has been diluted a lot.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang secretly squeezed her handkerchief tightly.

She is the eldest son of the Zhu family, and the biological mother of the second and fourth misses. When she heard the good news early in the morning, she hurried over to ask the old lady for a reward—without the consent of the main family, the aunt of the Zhu family is not eligible to enter the Hou's mansion. .Originally, the old lady was smiling all over her face, but now she has a grandson but forgot about her granddaughter.

But... let this kid be proud for a while.

Seeing Zhu Dingbei's appearance, she snorted coldly in her heart, and said with a smile: "My aunt has dinner with the young master, so I won't bother you. I will talk to my aunt when I come back from seeing the second girl."

The old lady hurriedly asked someone to bring the things she had prepared for Zhu Xiuhua to Xiao Wang, and asked her to take them with her. Xiao Wang thanked happily, bowed politely and left.

Only then did Zhu Dingbei ask about the old Marquis, and the old lady said: "It's the order of the palace. His Majesty wants to discuss military affairs at the military plane and called him up. I didn't ask any more questions about the rest."

Zhu Dingbei understood, the grandparents and grandson had eaten, and the old lady gave Shuisheng Haosheng some instructions, explaining that if Changsheng was not feeling well during the day, he could take leave and come home.

Zhu Dingbei listened with a smile. Although his complexion looked bad, he was full of energy, which made the old lady feel relieved.

During lunch, Qin Xi excitedly asked: "What are you going to do tomorrow? Why don't we go for a walk by the Luo River? I heard that many sons and sisters who came to the capital to prepare for the exam are competing there. If we are lucky, we might be able to I saw the female champion!"

Lou Anning said in a bad mood: "You still want to see the female champion? Wake up, even if there is a candidate who becomes the guest of the female champion, he will meet him in the boudoir. Could it be that you are still crawling in the backyard?" Can't peek through the window?"

Qin Xi was poured cold water on him, ignored him, and asked the others if they had other plans.

Jia Jiaming wondered: "Tomorrow, I will accompany my elder brother to receive a few candidates. They are related to the Jia family, so it is inconvenient to decline."

Lou Ankang thoughtfully said: "What's the matter, if we meet something interesting tomorrow, let Qin Xi take a copy back for you."

Jia Jiaming laughed embarrassedly.

Lou Anning had already made plans, and said impatiently: "Let's go to Ah Heng's. Ah Heng is in the palace recently, and I haven't been late for Uncle Ning's cooking for a long time!"

This proposal really moved people's hearts, Qin Xi immediately agreed, and Lou Ankang and Ning Heng had no objections.

Zhu Dingbei said: "When did you not eat the food Ah Heng brought every day? I heard the housekeeper talk about a good place a few days ago. The opportunity is rare, why don't we go there."

"Where is the destination, you tell me?"

Lou'an'an, a fun place in Manluojing City, is very rare. When did Changsheng know about such a place, but he didn't hear about it?

"Many candidates for the martial arts exam also came to Beijing to prepare for the competition. Third uncle said that they fight in the arena in the casino, which must be much more interesting than Huajie Wendou."

Housekeeper Zhu San originally lamented that these candidates were not doing their jobs properly, but Zhu Dingbei remembered them in his heart.

It was the first time that the Lou family brothers and Qin Xi had heard of the Wudou ring, but they were as interested as Zhu Dingbei. Compared with the gentle Wendou, Wudou naturally won the hearts of young people.

Jia Jiaming disagreed and said, "Changsheng, I've heard from my brothers about that place. It's very chaotic, there are all kinds of religions and schools, good and evil are mixed together, and some people lost their lives in the ring. If the elders in the family know that we went to that kind of place, they will definitely be punished."

Qin Xi didn't take it seriously: "Just don't let them know. It happens that you have something to do tomorrow. Even if we are accidentally caught by the family, you will be fine."

Jia Jiaming blushed and stared at Qin Xi speechlessly.

Lou Ankang took a look at Qin Xi who didn't know what he said wrong, and smoothed things over: "Qin Xi said, but don't take it to heart. We all know that you are worried about our safety. I just don't worry about An Ning, who caused trouble." Where to go, let's change to another place." The last sentence was said to Zhu Dingbei.

Lou Anning pouted unhappily, Qin Xi scratched his head and said unwillingly, "It shouldn't be so serious."

Zhu Dingbei didn't care, he just made an opinion not to go to Changxinhou's mansion.

Ning Heng, who usually seldom talks and rarely participates in their conversations, suddenly said, "It's okay, I'll take you there."

Since Ning Heng opened his mouth, he can naturally guarantee their safety.Jia Jiaming no longer objected, Qin Xi and Lou Anning clapped their hands happily, and they agreed on the time and place to meet tomorrow, and the itinerary for this holiday was decided.

Seeing Ning Heng smiling at him, Zhu Dingbei felt very uncomfortable.

He knew that Ning Heng didn't want to spoil his interest and was afraid that he would be unhappy, he cared for himself, but he... Zhu Dingbei felt a little guilty in his heart.

Slowing down and falling behind a few people, Zhu Dingbei whispered to Ning Heng who was following him: "I have already discussed with Grandpa what you said to me yesterday. It's a good time for them to change the medicine bag. If they do it, grandpa will find out the traitors in the mansion, and then deal with Aunt Wang and others secretly. As for Li Jie, I am safe and sound. Grandpa means that if the other party stops here, we will also settle down."

Ning Heng wasted so much effort on this matter, even if he didn't mention it, Ning Heng would still ask about it.Zhu Dingbei has always been a person who is good at taking the initiative to attack, so he simply told Ning Heng about this matter first.

Ning Heng frowned and didn't say much.

Zhu Dingbei knew what he was hesitating, and said in a low voice: "The Zhu family and the Li family have too much enmity. We have lived in peace for so many years, and we also hope that it will continue to be so peaceful. The situation of Zhenbei Houfu in Luojing is not good. , Dad is not stable in Xianbei, and if there is one less thing, there will be one less thing."

Naturally, this was not the real reason why Zhu Dingbei let the Li family go temporarily, but this reason was enough to convince Ning Heng.

Because the Martial Arts Casino only opened in the afternoon, they agreed to go to Mingyue Tower for lunch together, and then go to the Martial Arena.

There was still plenty of time. The next day Zhu Dingbei got up and went to the yard to fight boxing. After a while, Zhu San came to pass on the words of the old master and invited him to the martial arts field, where the grandfather and grandson practiced.

"When did Grandpa come back last night?"

The old Hou Ye went to the palace early yesterday morning to discuss matters, and he didn't come back until he fell asleep. I don't know why.

Zhu San replied: "I came back after a while, and I didn't say anything about it, but the marshal's face...is not very good."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows. When he saw the old Hou Ye, he asked him why he didn't sleep a little longer. The old Hou Ye handed the big knife to Zhu San, and said indifferently: "I don't feel much when I'm old. Come to live, look at it, Grandpa." Let's see if you have made any progress recently."

The grandpa and grandson were sweating from the beating, so they were urged by the old lady to clean up and went to the main house to have breakfast.

Just after eating, the old man took Zhu Dingbei and left. The old lady said with a displeasure on her face, "I've been occupying my grandson all day long, so what can I talk about? One or two can't even sleep on holidays, they just think about it." Run outside, really."

The things that Zhu Dingbei talked with the old Hou Ye were all hidden from the old lady. She still doesn't know that it's not her good grandson pestering the old Hou Ye to ask about the art of war and the battlefield, but that the old Hou Ye is used to discussing things with his grandson. up.

The grandfather and grandson lost a lot of smiles before being let by the old lady.

Before he sat down in the study in the front yard, Zhu Dingbei asked, "Grandfather, why did you enter the palace yesterday?"

"What good can it do! It's about escorting the migrants to Xianbei to get his old lady."

Old Hou Ye was very angry, obviously what was discussed yesterday was not a good thing for Zhu Jiajun.

Zhu Dingbei frowned: "Aren't the migrants escorted by the local garrison? What's there to discuss about this?"

The matter of emigrating people to Xianbei was decided in May. Originally, Emperor Zhenyuan's decree stated that all migrants must settle in Xianbei before October.But because of Sima Yuqi's guilt and the turmoil in the Xianbei Mansion, it had to be delayed.

These days, old Chen Ge and Zhen You passed on good news when they came back, so His Majesty ordered the border residents to migrate to Xianbei one after another from now on.The immigrants from Yuzhou and Jingzhou left half a month later, but they must all go to Xianbei before the end of October, otherwise the northern border will be frozen and snowy, and the immigration will be postponed until next year.

"It's the two grandchildren of Jingzhou and Yuzhou! What are you talking about? The road is difficult and dangerous. The garrison in the state capital has no experience in dealing with the dangers of the road. In order to reduce the casualties of the migrants, please allow your majesty to let the Zhu family army take charge of the escort. .”

Old Hou Ye took a sip of cold tea, put down the teacup heavily, and said, "You know that this kind of bastard will be blamed on our Zhu Jiajun. Where is that going? To put it bluntly, these millions of migrants are taking the road to Huangquan! Don't be in a hurry If you take good care of yourself, one or two thousand deaths would be considered less. But now not only is there a deadline to hurry, but if there is a natural disaster, a large number of people may die. How can our Zhu family army bear this crime? Huh?"

Zhu Dingbei took a deep breath: "Your Majesty has already issued an order?"

Old Hou Ye spread his legs apart and snorted coldly: "He really wants to. I don't agree, let's see who can help me!"

Old Hou Ye had been arguing loudly and loudly with people all day at the military plane with a red neck, and his attitude was clearly there.But there is no confidence in these words. After all, the emperor's order is hard to violate. Emperor Zhenyuan seems to have made a decision. When the time comes, the old Zhu's family will have to accept their fate.

Zhu Dingbei exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest, and said in a deep voice:

"We can't sit still."
