Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Langya Mountain.

Xianbei Mansion is not very eye-catching, but it has a mysterious and revered mountain in the hearts of Xianbei people.

Xianbei regards wolves as totems and worships them as gods. Therefore, Langya Mountain is shaped like a wolf's sharp teeth. Therefore, Xianbei people regard it as the fairy house of the Snow Wolf God. Many Xianbei chiefs buried their bones in Langya Mountain after their deaths.

In fact, Zhu Dingbei had seen last night that the location on the sheepskin painting referred to Langya Mountain. Instead of being honest with Ning Heng, he concealed it and asked the old Hou Ye to send the news to the general camp of Zhu's army in Xianbei.

Zhu Zhenliang looked at the news for a while before asking Gu Chaoan: "If it is really Langya Mountain, what are they looking for? Could it be the funeral of Chief Xianbei?"

Zhu Zhenliang didn't think it was the reason when he said that, Dajing was rich, so it was impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to covet the funeral objects of the Xianbei tribe.What's more, those buried with them did not know how many of them were looted from Dajing.Perhaps it was a rare item in Xianbei, but to the Dajing royal family, it was nothing more than an ordinary item.

Gu Chaoan stared at the tea in a daze, Zhu Zhenliang didn't hear his reply, so he called out again.

Only then did he come back to his senses, and said: "Commander, no matter what, we should send someone to Langya Mountain to investigate carefully, and ask the nearby villagers to see if there are any local legends."

Zhu Zhenliang smiled wryly and said: "This year is really full of surprises, and now I, Zhu Jiajun, have also started to dig graves. I don't know about it..."

Gu Chao'an interrupted his complaint with a smile, and said: "Those who are capable will work harder, the coach should not disappoint the old Marshal's expectations."

Zhu Zhenliang twitched the corners of his mouth, he was just talking casually, why put his father out to suppress him.

Complaining, but not slow, Zhu Zhenliang quickly arranged the investigation.

After Zhu Fan took the order, Gu Chao'an said: "Commander, the weather in Xianbei Mansion has gradually turned cold, and Chen Ge is getting old, so he must not be used to coming all the way from Luojing with Prime Minister Zhen You. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival How about inviting them to the handsome mansion for a glass of warming wine?"

Zhu Dingbei stroked his beard and said: "These two adults have been here for a long time, I don't know when His Majesty will think of them."

Gu Chao'an said: "Don't worry, the coach, it won't be too long."

"Oh, they didn't wait until the immigrants settled down?"

Gu Chaoan shook his head, "At that time, Mr. Chen Gel can only leave next spring. Although Mr. Chen Gel is not a Zhongzheng official, His Majesty the imperial court will definitely ask his opinion in the selection of candidates in the imperial examination over the years. The spring will begin, and around the middle of the month, the imperial court will issue their order to return to Beijing."

Zhu Zhenliang was not interested in civil affairs. When he heard that the two great Buddhas were about to leave, he felt relieved and didn't ask any further questions.

Whenever the holiday season, think twice.

The Double Ninth Festival is also the Elderly Day. On this day, besides offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the juniors of each family will go home to reunite one after another. It is a happy and complete day to be with the elderly at home.

However, Qin Xi's plan to go to Baima Mountain to climb high could not be carried out, because it started to rain lightly that day, and the rain became heavier in the afternoon. rush.

The old lady ordered to prepare hot water, clothes for a change of clothes, and soup to dispel the cold for her grandson, and she smiled at Mama Su, "It's raining at the right time today. It is God's will to save people, so that the two of them can rest assured." Take some time, and today I will honestly stay at home and talk to my old lady."

Su's mother laughed straight after hearing this: "Look at what Madam said, is there any young master in the capital who knows how to honor his grandmother at a young age? You, just let the young master honor you with peace of mind."

"Changsheng is more like me if he is careful. If a granddaughter is by my side... Oh, what did my old lady say about this? Go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready. After all, Changsheng came back early, and I have to let her He eats something good, and he is not afraid of accumulating food at night."

Zhu Dingbei changed his clothes and came in when he heard the old lady's thoughtful instructions. He couldn't help but walk two steps quickly, and respectfully gave a big gift to the old lady, and said: "Today's ninety-nine festival, my grandson wishes grandma a long life, good health and no worries. .”

"Good boy."

The old lady smiled with beautiful fish tails in the corner of her eyes, she lovingly pulled him to her side, and asked, "Have you met your grandpa first?"

Zhu Dingbei smiled, "Grandmother is the head of the family, so naturally she wants to meet you first."

The old lady was so coaxed by his few words that her brows were all smiles. During the dinner, even the old Hou Ye got her consideration, served several dishes, drank a catty of wine, and did not see her preaching to him as usual .

The residence of the Commander of the Imperial Army was not so warm.

The commander-in-chief is on duty in the inner palace today, and Qin Xi's father and uncle are also stationed abroad and have not returned to the mansion for the festival, so there are only the old lady and a few female elders.When Qin Xi brought his two ignorant younger siblings to congratulate him, although the elders were all smiling, they were a little more deserted after all.

After the whole family had dinner, the rain outside hadn't stopped, Mrs. Qin got tired of talking for a while, and the juniors left separately.

Qin Xi accompanied A Niang back to the room, Mrs. Qin sighed against the pattering rain, "I don't know if your grandpa is doing well in Xianbei, it's been more than three months since we left the capital, and the errands that should be done have been completed, Your Majesty." But...Xi'er, do you think your grandfather will be able to come back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. Changsheng said that Xianbei will be bitingly cold in October. Grandpa must have left for Beijing before October."

Qin Xi's reassurance made Chen's sorrow even worse, and he couldn't help holding Qin Xi's hand, and said, "Xi'er, Auntie knows that you are as close as brothers to the young master of the Zhu family. Could you please ask him to send a letter to Zhu?" Marshal, tell me, please take good care of your grandpa. You don’t know, your grandpa’s body has deteriorated day by day in the past two years, how can you stand the wind and snow outside the Great Wall. Even if you just suffer from the wind and cold, I’m afraid you will stay The root cause of the disease is hard to get rid of. Your grandfather has worked hard all his life, but when he gets old, he still runs around like this. As children and grandchildren, we can't help at all. Thinking about it, my mother is very worried."

She said, unable to hold back tears.

Chen Gelao loved his deceased wife very much. Although his mother died early, the three sisters were raised by Chen Gelao.Whether he is busy with government affairs or idle in the government, Mr. Chen Ge's cherishment of his daughter has never changed.

The sisters could be said to have been taught and raised by Mr. Chen Gel himself, and their father and daughter have a deep relationship. During this Double Ninth Festival, Mr. Chen Gel is far away in Xianbei in the bitter cold. No matter how much wealth and honor they enjoy in Luojing, they will not be happy.

Qin Xi wiped her tears in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Mother, I will tell Changsheng. But don't worry, Changsheng's father is a good man, and he will definitely take good care of grandpa. Maybe he is drinking and eating at the marshal's mansion at this time. Big fish and big meat."

"What did you say, kid?"

Chen's tears turned into a smile, and she nodded reproachfully on his forehead.

And just as Qin Xi said, at this time in the Xianbei commander's mansion, the two imperial envoys Chen Gelao and Zhen Youxiang were toasting with Zhu Zhenliang and the others to celebrate the festive season.

Although there are no big fish and meat, it is also very lively.

Zhu Zhenliang drank a few cups, his face turned pale, and he said with a loud smile: "The two imperial envoys have worked hard recently, I respect you both. If you return to Beijing, you should tell your majesty something good. Let me win His Majesty's good looks when I go back to Beijing to ask for money next year."

The smile on Chen Ge's face deepened two points when he heard this, "You kid is more advanced than your father, and you are not stupid in your mouth."

He and the old Marshal Zhu Chengyuan were a few years older and had some personal friendships, so he treated Zhu Zhenliang like a junior, and did not keep a distance because he was the commander of Zhu's army.

Zhu Zhenliang seemed to have received a great compliment, and he said in a cheerful voice: "It's still Shibo who has vision. I am stupid and unreasonable. Whenever I can't say it, I will do it. You have to talk about him in the future."

Old Chen Ge shook his head and laughed, and Mrs. Gao made fun of it, "It seems that your butt is itchy again after recovery, so you are in a hurry to ask for a beating?"

Zhu Zhenliang thought, if Mr. Chen Ge really passed on the words to his father, wouldn't there be a good fight waiting for him!Quickly swallowed a bowl of yellow soup, wiped his mouth and said: "I didn't say anything just now, Chen Shibo must never mention it to Lord Zhenbei."

"You ah you."

Chen Gelao smiled and took a sip of his wine, with a kind expression on his face: "We should return to Beijing in a few days, and we can't take care of them here. The immigrant people have entered Xianbei, you have to worry a lot, and let them have a good year before they can settle down." Come on. By November at the latest, the Xinzhou pastor and officials will make a decision, and you should help more. However, you can’t do things like before. Your father heard in Beijing that you picked so many There are many officials in the head, but you are very frightened. Now you are alone, you must control your temper when things happen, and don't let him worry about it."

When he mentioned these words, he didn't shy away from Zhen Youxiang, and there was an elder's concern in his gentle eyes.

Zhu Zhenliang's heart warmed up, he hurriedly got up and made a big salute, saying: "Chang Wu will definitely keep it in his heart."

Old Chen Ge raised his hand to help, and accepted his gift.

Zhen Youxiang looked at him, his smile didn't change, but he took a deep look at Chen Gelao.

He still doesn't know when Chen Wuwei and the Zhu family had such a deep friendship.

There are many teachings hidden in these words, and he even secretly told Zhu Zhenliang that he will not be punished by the Holy One this time, but there cannot be a second time.

With Zhu Zhenliang's temper, if he encounters such a corrupt official again, maybe he will beat Xinzhou Mu and the court and kill the corrupt official first.His Majesty will definitely not be tolerant at that time.

Mr. Chen Ge's points seem to be innocuous, but in fact they hit the point, and they can be said to be worth a thousand dollars.But these had nothing to do with him, Zhen Youxiang saw it, and wisely did not express his opinion.

After the Double Ninth Festival, there is a [-]-day rest for bathing. On this day, the weather is clear and the mirror is as clean as a mirror.

Several of Zhu Dingbei's friends were busy, so he didn't go out but stayed at home to accompany the old Hou Ye in the fight.

Qian Hui also woke up early and was practicing martial arts in his own small courtyard. After a while, Zhu Sanlai invited him to the martial arts arena in the front courtyard.

When he came, Zhu Dingbei and Old Hou Ye were playing Zhujiaquan on the field.Needless to say, the old master, what surprised him was the little master Zhu. This set of Zhu family boxing was smooth and smooth in him, and the moves were steady and steady. I have to admire.

The two stopped to look at him, Qian Hui hurriedly put away the surprise on his face, stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Lord Hou, little Lord."

Zhu Dingbei took the cloth towel handed over by the housekeeper, wiped his sweat and asked with a smile: "Brother Bugui, you don't need to be polite, can you still live at home?"
