Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Chapter 8 Changxinhou Mansion

Changxinhou's Mansion is to the east of Zhenbeihou's Mansion, at the easternmost point of Luojing City, three streets away from it.

Because there are many aristocratic families in the eastern district of Luojing, there are many mansions, each occupying a vast area, so it only takes three streets to walk, and the carriage takes half an hour.

Just listened to Lou Anning boasting about the cook of the Changxinhou Mansion, and he said it all the time, without repeating a single compliment.The talk of one dish after another was so mouth-watering that even Zhu Dingbei, who doesn't pay much attention to appetite, looked forward to it.

Zheng Zheng said: "The snacks and dried fruits we usually eat are all made by Uncle Ning. This is a piece of cake for him, let alone those big dishes. If Ning Heng was not alone in this Hou's mansion, the empress dowager would have given this treasure a long time ago." They dug into the palace." The carriage stopped, and Lou Anning was the first to open the curtain and go out, shouting, "Oh, Lord Changxin came to greet you in person, it's very polite."

Lou Ankang followed Zhu Dingbei, heard the sound and said with a smile: "I must have known you were coming. Ah Di and I never came to meet him in person before."

Zhu Dingbei smiled, jumped out of the carriage without help, and said to Ning Heng, "Master Lou Er said that there is an imperial chef hidden in your house, today I will feast on it."

Ning Heng smiled slightly, the brothers of the Lou family would not have a second matter looking for him.

Lou Anning bluffed: "It's said that it's better than the imperial chef. Every year on New Year's Eve, the dishes that His Majesty the Emperor rewards the mansion are not tasty at all—"

"Brother!" Lou Ankang warned, Lou Anning smacked his lips, patted his mouth, and whispered: "I'm telling the truth." Seeing that his brother was going to beat him, he smiled and pulled Zhu Dingbei to go Run around the house.

"Changsheng, let me tell you that Changxinhou's mansion is the largest in our Luojing mansion. It is as big as three of our homes. If you count the territories outside the mansion, it may be bigger than the imperial palace. Behind this mansion is a big The schoolyard, from here to Taoxian Mountain is the site of the Changxinhou Mansion. Ah, there is a horse farm behind it, the last time I saw that your Hou Mansion did not have such a large site."

I don't know why he looked so proud, Zhu Dingbei was very interested when he heard the words, he hadn't run a horse for a long time.

"Brother Ning Heng, I'm going to play, don't be stingy."

He was grinning, Ning Heng nodded without thinking, and said, "Okay."

Lou Anning clicked his tongue twice, "A Heng is the most eccentric, why would I not be so straightforward when I want to go to you?"

With a snort, he squinted at Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng again, "Oh~ I see." He drew his voice, leaned over and put his feet on Ning Heng's shoulders, and said earnestly: "You treat us as your own People bully at will, and treat Changsheng as a guest to be so polite, isn't it? Oh, how much you hurt our brother Changsheng's heart."

Ning Heng left him, and walked with Zhu Dingbei by himself, ignoring him.

Lou Ankang laughed and said, "Just make a fuss, even if you want to ride a horse even if you climbed it, don't be ashamed."

"Hey, brother, what do you mean? That was all a few years ago, and now my young master Lou is not what he used to be, just wait and see me show my power today!"

While laughing and laughing, he walked through the long road full of flowers and plants, and entered the hall door of the Hou Mansion.

Changxinhou's Mansion is the largest official residence in Luojing, but it also has the least number of people.There is only Ning Heng as the master in the whole house. Except for the main courtyard, no one has lived in it for many years. Even if the people below clean up and maintain it every day, it is just not deserted and has no human touch at all.

Lou Anning finally ate the lotus honey that he missed the most, and Lou Anning let out a long sigh of satisfaction.After eating, he added another bowl to himself, and said, "Ah Heng, everything is good here, except that there are few people."

He didn't receive his elder brother's stopping gaze, so he looked at Ning Heng eagerly and said, "I've heard that they plan to marry you with more than a dozen wives and concubines. At that time, we have to reserve a place for our clan sisters in the Lou family." , so that after you get married, I have a reason to come to the house every day to eat and drink."

Ning Heng glanced at him, and heard Zhu Dingbei agree with the words: "That's right, but it's a pity that my sisters in my family are not in my care. Ah Heng, you can be more confident, maybe you can still be my fifth brother." What about brother-in-law?"

Speaking of the sisters of the Zhu family, Lou Anning chuckled and winked: "It may be the sixth brother-in-law, we have been waiting for your Yuemei sister to come out."

As soon as these words came out, even Lou Ankang couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.

As for Zhu Dingbei's father, Marshal Zhu, although he is not usually in the capital, Luojing people love to talk about the affairs in the mansion.

He and his wife had no children for many years after marriage, so the elders decided to bring two concubines into the house.Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhenliang's marksmanship was so good that the two concubines gave birth to the eldest son and eldest daughter one after another.Later, when he returned to Beijing every three years, he could successfully sow seeds in the fertile fields. After doing this twice, the second, third, fourth and fifth Miss Zhu's family was born.Later, with Zhu Dingbei's son-in-law, Marshal Zhu returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and no one was killed.

However, the names of the daughters of the Zhu family are also very impressive, followed by Biyue, Xiuhua, Shen Yu, Luoyan, and Huarong.Many people laughed and said that they just waited to think that the beauty of the moon could gather all the beauties in the world.

Zhu Dingbei smashed the two brothers laughing wildly while holding the peanut. He turned his head to see the rather tangled expression on the face of Lord Changxin.

He rolled his eyes, "Smile, laugh, my sister deserves her name, so just be jealous."

That's only half the truth.Although the daughter of the Zhu family is also beautiful and pleasant, but I don't know if Marshal Zhu's blood is too strong, and the five young ladies are all born tall and big.Even Miss Six, who is still studying in a women's school, has a big bone and a tall stature, which is difficult for ordinary men to control.They were raised in the capital, but they couldn't change the banditry in their blood, and they couldn't show a delicate posture. When they heard the brothers mention it, they felt sorry for them.

Although it was in private, it was too impolite to make fun of her elder sister. The two brothers quickly stood up and bowed, "Longevity is not to blame, forgive us for our unintentional mistakes."

Zhu Dingbei waved his hands generously, and said: "Only you two weak chickens, my fifth sister can kill a few with one hand. If you have the ability to joke like this in front of her, I respect you two as men."

The two laughed dryly, not even daring to speak.

Ning Heng, on the other hand, waited for them to chat and laugh for a while, and suddenly said, "Your fifth sister is also fifteen, right? Have you ever been married?"

It's amazing, it's rare to hear him say such a long paragraph.

The three of them looked at each other, then suddenly hugged their stomachs and staggered on the couch laughing.I didn't expect him to be entangled in this matter for so long.

Lou Anning panted while laughing: "Marquis Changxin, haha, if you want to be the brother-in-law of Changsheng so much, you have to look forward to our sister Yuemao, haha, please Marshal, hahaha."

Zhu Dingbei also laughed so hard that tears rolled down his face, "You boy will marry eighteen or nine young wives in the future, yet you still dare to miss my old Zhu's daughter. See if I won't break your dog legs."

Ning Heng made a bitter face, Zhu Dingbei thought of something, patted his face and said: "If you wait a little longer, you will not be out of luck, haha."

In the last life, Chang Xinhou, who was planned by his elders to marry more than a dozen wives and concubines, also had no wife and no children as far as he knew, and he didn't know that after his death... Zhu Dingbei stopped laughing, and took advantage of Brother Lou Anning's inattention. The bowl of lotus honey just entered his mouth.When the two brothers reacted, they all yelled and fought Zhu Dingbei to the death.

Sure enough, there was a sumptuous meal at noon, and the three of them couldn't bear to stop talking when their stomachs were round. It was Ning Heng who forced people to remove the leftovers and said that they would keep them for dinner, which made the three of them burp on the table. The guy stops.

Zhu Dingbei: "I said, Ah Heng, you have such a chef in your family, why are you so unbelievable, not at all comparable to the third young master Qi?"

The third young master Qi he was talking about was the fattest one in Huangpin Academy, and it was said that Quan Luojing had the most blessings on him, but it was not uncommon for people to make fun of him.

Ning Heng glared at him, and pulled them up to digest after taking a break.He dragged Zhu Dingbei to the front, and the twin brothers walked behind, talking and laughing while rubbing their chubby bellies.

The Empress Dowager loved Ning Heng very much and was afraid that he would be lonely. When she received a short stay in the harem, she always let her grandchildren of the same age accompany her.Later, he entered the Guozi Academy, and the twins of the Lou family became closer to several classmates. The queen mother often took the brothers of the Lou family into the palace to play together.The Empress Dowager earnestly asked, and Lou Shangshu also felt unbearable towards Ning Heng, so the two families often walked around, and the Lou family brothers could be said to be frequent visitors in Changxinhou's mansion.

Otherwise, without these laughter, this huge Lord Hou would really be much lonely and desolate.

After walking all the way, Zhu Dingbei wondered: "Your house is made of flowers or grass, and it's even more alive than a girl's boudoir."

Ning Heng didn't say anything, Lou Anning quickly took two steps forward to let Zhu Dingbei see his contemptuous expression, "This look is not good, these are all herbal medicines, and most people don't have them. Even the imperial hospital in the palace Babadi wants to come to Changxinhou's Mansion to buy it."

This is the first time Zhu Dingbei heard of it, "No wonder you always read medical books." He asked again, "Do you know all these herbs?"

"Ah."

"Haha, Doctor Ning is being polite. If my brother gets dizzy, it's all up to you to take care of him."

"it is good."

Zhu Dingbei patted him on the shoulder again: "That's enough loyalty."

Lou Anning snorted and said, "Changsheng, you really love to take advantage of Ah Heng, and you can afford the doctor's visit fee of Lord Changxin."

"Vulgar, our love is stronger than gold, can it be quantified with gold and silver?"

Lou Anning rolled her eyes, "I see you can't bear to spend even a copper coin, you're stingy!"

"Hey, you don't understand, the annual military salary is enough for us to eat, so we can't do without it."

Lou Anning scratched her cheeks, her face flushed, seeing Young Marshal Zhu's righteous face, she couldn't help feeling guilty.Lou Ankang let out a long sigh: "It's pitiful for such a stupid person to have the same mother as me."

The two brothers fought together.

Before they reached the racecourse, the housekeeper came to report: "Master Qin Xi and Young Master Jia Shishi have arrived, and the servants have already been brought here."

Sure enough, people arrived before they saw anyone: "I knew that you, Young Master Zhu, would not be able to resist coming to the racecourse in the Marquis Changxin's mansion, and you didn't call me for such a good thing, you are not loyal enough!"

Running over like a small firecracker, leaving Jia Jiaming who came with him far behind, chasing him out of breath.

The gates of their mansions faced each other across the street.There was no friendship in the past, but now they are gradually getting closer, and to join in the fun, Qin Xi was the first to think of calling his neighbor.

A few people stood waiting for them, Qin Xi jumped forward and strangled Zhu Dingbei's neck: "Eating alone offends everyone's anger, good little soldier who dares to openly disobey the military law, you should die quickly."

Zhu Dingbei scratched him while laughing: "You fat pig, sink to death."

"Haha, I am a reincarnated fat pig, and I am better than you, a reincarnated pig."

This provoked another round of laughter.Jia Jiaming finally came over, propped his knees to pant, raised his head and smiled to see everyone laughing, his face couldn't help but bloom.Facing the sun, the young man is flying wildly.
