The world of rebirth

Ning Yunting lay reclined on the kang, flipping through the book in his hands boredly.Hugh Mu today, no need to go out in the snow, the whole person became lazy.Turning over two pages of the book, and then looking up at the daughter-in-law who is embroidering with her head hanging down, I feel that this day is as happy as a fairy.

Mu Tong'er is close to giving birth, her belly is bulging, and it looks like a pointed head. They say she is blessed, and this baby must be a son.She seemed to be embroidering, but in fact she didn't use her mind on it at all. After meeting Ning Yunting's eyes for the third time, she simply put the embroidery work in her hands aside.

"Sir, why don't we take the bonus from Wenxiangju?"

Ning Yunting turned over and sat up straight, and asked in surprise, "Why, what did Xiao Er say?"

"No. The second younger brother respects your brother so much, how can he say anything!" Mu Tong'er said softly, "It's just that I feel that we haven't done anything, and it's really inappropriate to get such a bonus for nothing."

Ning Yunting raised his brows, and he could hear the signs, "Who is this jealous again?" He wasn't really stupid, and he understood after thinking about it, "It's my wife again! She has been jealous for a long time, but it's a pity that I did it back then. It was Xiaoer’s private house that was used when buying it, and it can’t be returned to the public. You don’t care about her, this is Xiaoer’s filial piety to my brother, and no one can pick it out.”

"Two days ago, my wife called me over, saying that Zhuangzi's prospects were not good in the past two years, and life in the mansion was difficult..." Mu Tong'er said awkwardly, "My wife wanted me to lend her the front door of the dowry to open a shop. If it doesn't work, lend her some money."

"Hey, she will definitely think about it." Ning Yunting snorted coldly.He also wanted to reject the bonus from Xiaoer before, after all, he would not be rewarded for no merit, and he felt guilty about taking the money.

But Xiao Er has said that he can't write two Ning characters in one stroke. Now that he is on an errand, he has a lot of entertainment on weekdays, and it is easier to do things with more money on hand. I don't know how to get my father to persuade me in turn. I just took this bonus, so I can only repay Xiao Er's friendship in other places.

Seeing that her husband didn't take it seriously, Mu Tong'er had to remind her in a roundabout way, "When the second brother ran the shop, neither Yunxiang nor Qiaoping was born, and the second brother bought a generous dowry for the eldest sister, and giving bonuses to your husband is brotherly love. But seeing that the two younger ones are getting older, the second brother doesn't say anything to them. Aunt Zhao is fine, but my wife..."

She gave Ning Yunting a coquettish look, and said, "You men are careless and don't care about these small things, but I always feel that if this continues, if people have resentment, they will cause trouble."

Ning Yunting stared and said, "Second brother is not a stingy person, even if those two were not born from the same mother as us, look at the time when Xiaoer has treated Qiaoping badly. It is the wife who does not let us get close to Yunxiang. of."

He said angrily, "You don't know, when he was young, we wouldn't let his wife take a second look at him, and she threw away all the food and playthings he gave, for fear that we would do something wrong to Yunxiang, so don't blame the second brother." Don't give her a good face."

As he said that, he slapped the case, "No, I have to talk to my grandpa about this matter. There is a village and a shop in our house, so we can't live on. It's unreasonable to be eyeing Xiao Er's money." Son."

"Don't be impulsive." Mu Tong'er grabbed his hand and said, "The old lady was thinking about it two days ago, she said that she wanted to bring Yun Xiang by her side, and she also said that no one could raise him like you lost your brother Sentiment. Don’t make any trouble, if you really can’t do it, talk to your second brother first and ask him if he has any plans.”

"Forget it!" Ning Yunting is not an impulsive person, he calmed down after being persuaded by his wife, but in the end he couldn't help it, "Why don't I go talk to my second brother now."

Mu Tong'er covered her small mouth and smiled, "The second younger brother is not in the mansion today, and your trip was a waste of time."

"Where did you go?" Ning Yunting wondered, that kid pushed a lot of invitations and stayed at home every day, how could he run out in such cold weather.

"Big brother-in-law took him to Haizi to participate in the poetry meeting organized by the masters." She giggled, "I heard that they will enjoy the snow and play the piano, and sing poems around the stove. It's very elegant."

Ning Yunting spat, "I'm afraid I'm out of my mind to enjoy the snow in winter!"

At this moment, the minds of the two brothers were synchronized, and Ning Yunjin also cursed in his heart, this group of literati and poets who looked like they were in front of them, after drinking too much, they were really worse than beasts.

This time they came with more than 20 people. The place where they drank was a pavilion by the seaside of Shicha. When they looked up, they could see snowflakes falling profusely on the slightly frozen lake.

Due to the large number of people, they occupy the largest pavilion. Looking up, you can see the silver-clad weeping willows and arch bridges, and further away there are bell towers and pavilions with red walls and black tiles. If it is not too cold, everyone I want to praise the scenery.

Although the stove had already been lit, it had no effect in the place where the wind was blowing on all sides. If Ning Yunjin hadn't had a few glasses of water and wine, he would have been shivering from the cold, and he couldn't blame him for secretly slandering these people as crazy.

But this group of people is not easy for him to offend. Some of them are Xie Yuan from various places in the previous two sessions who came to Beijing to prepare for the exam in advance, and some are already well-known celebrities. They are all popular candidates for next year's competition.

I was tricked by Wen Zhen to study in the imperial palace, and I lost my classmates in the court in the future, so I had to make up for it and get to know some future classmates, so I accepted this invitation and asked my brother-in-law to accompany me.

Ning Yunjin was so cold that he couldn't stand it, and when he wanted to go home, Zong Zhengruo, who was beside him, had already had his turn to drink.

At first they played pitching pots, and he and his brother-in-law were evenly matched every time, so these people had no chance of punishing them for drinking, so they changed to playing wine chip.

This time, there are a total of [-] miscellaneous sentence wine tokens, with ancient poems and miscellaneous sentences written on the front, and a wine appointment made according to the content of the poems on the back, which is a bit like a more elegant lottery.

In this way, the chances of everyone being fined for drinking are almost the same.However, as long as there is anything related to Ning Yunjin, this group of people likes to drag him to drink, and has no intention of protecting minors at all, so his cheeks have been blushed from the moment he switched to playing wine chips.

"Tanhua rides the world of mortals, and those who arrive by car have a drink." Zong Zhengruoqi read out the chips he had drawn, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I just came by car today, so I have a drink by myself." Ruoqi's After drinking a glass of water and wine, the silver-gilt tortoise carrying the wine chip was transferred to Ning Yunjin's side.He reached out and picked out a chip, picked it up and took a look.

"One white peony can do it, and those with white flour will drink three cups." As soon as Ning Yunjin read out the order, someone laughed.He glanced at the whole table, and there was really no one whose skin was whiter than his own, so he picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses by himself.

After another two rounds, most of the chips have been drawn, and someone suggested to change the game.

Ning Yunjin found that there were two people who liked to ask him to drink with him very much. One of them was Xie Yuan from the previous Shuntian Mansion. His name was Xu Wuyu. He was only four years older than himself. This is the real child prodigy.

The other one is a son named Sun Benshan from Zhejiang, who is the best at painting. Although he is only 26 and seven years old, his paintings are already hard to find in Beijing.

Ning Yunjin was not very clear about the deeds of these two officials. When he arrived in the capital, Xu Needless had already been released, and Sun Benshan was dismissed from office to focus on painting skills.

But these two people are very casual, and he still knows that in the future, they will make a name for themselves as good men and women all over the capital!So seeing that these two people are so enthusiastic about me, I can't help but feel a little nervous. It's really a beast, and I will only turn thirteen next month!

While he was muttering in his heart, after a lot of discussion, everyone had decided to pass the flowers by beating drums, and whoever got the flowers would have to chant a poem with a snow scene and fit the current situation.

Although he didn't bring a drum this time, Xu didn't need to bring his qin, so he played the qin instead.As the flower fell in front of Ning Yunjin for the third time, even Ruoqi felt something was wrong.

Ning Yunjin stood up confidently and said, he was not at all flustered about this kind of test because he had a strong memory, "The snowflakes on the swallows are as big as a mat, blowing down Xuanyuantai one after another..."

Sun Benshan, who was sitting on Ning Yunjin's right hand, shook his head and sighed authentically, "It seems that it is not easy for our young talents to punish themselves."

Xu Youyou, hooking the strings of the zither, said with a smile, "Brother Yunjin's character and appearance are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, brother Yu would not believe that there is such a romantic person." He finished speaking After the compliment, he blinked affectionately at Ning Yunjin.

Even if Xu Don't have an extraordinary appearance, outstanding literary talent, and a handsome young man, but being looked at affectionately by such a big man still made Ning Yunjin unconsciously get goosebumps.

Just when he was itching and couldn't help but squeeze his fists, a man in navy blue brocade suddenly came over.

"I heard that Mr. Ning is drinking here, my master would like to invite you to have a drink together."

Ning Yunjin was worried that he couldn't escape, his eyes glanced at the sword on the man's waist, and he already knew who his master was.Instead of socializing with these future colleagues, it's better to please the big boss!

So he nodded and said, "Then I will go with you! The strong man please wait a moment."

He turned his head and said sorry to the people in the pavilion, everyone didn't agree at first, but seeing that the man's bearing was extraordinary, he was just a follower, and he also knew that his master had an extraordinary background, so he only let Ning Yunjin punish himself with three cups and let him go.

After drinking the penalty wine, Ning Yunjin leaned into Ruoqi's ear and whispered, "It's that one, you can't go if you don't."

If he saw him pointing to the sky, he nodded, "Since it's that one, there's no need to delay any longer, you should go!"

Ning Yunjin bid farewell to everyone, followed the man for three to four hundred meters, and then arrived at a house.Although the house has only two entrances, it is very delicately furnished. As soon as he walked into the lobby, he saw Wen Zhen playing with a copper object that looked like a binocular or a kaleidoscope.

Wen Zhen watched him salute with a half-smile, and put the thing on the table casually, "You're living a chic life, you forgot all my orders, right?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I dare not." Ning Yunjin didn't expect him to ask his teacher for a crime as soon as they met, and said dryly, "It's just that I have been recuperating at home for so long, it's really..."

"Come on, I know you are afraid that people will say that you are proud of your talents. This is not in the palace, so don't be embarrassed, just be polite!" Wen Zhen stood up, walked in front of him with a smile, put his hands on Ning Yunjin's He lifted it up with both arms.

Ning Yunjin was a little astonished, although the relationship with Wenzhen has been relatively close in recent years, isn't the treatment too good? ?When Wen Zhen changed his hand to grab his wrist, he said enthusiastically, "Come, come with me to enjoy the snow scene."

The heat from Wenzhen's palm made his tingling hand feel a little numb. He couldn't help muttering, "Your Majesty, even if you are in a good mood, don't move your hands and feet. I am really terrified!"
