The New Year's Trouble on the first day of the new year did not change much because of the Jin family's affairs, and after worshipping the family, people deliberately faced the cold and walked to the street in slightly thin new clothes.

The younger generations salute, and the elders press the year. The dragon dance is right, the male and female are right.

The customs of the years have remained unchanged for many years.

Because it was the first day of the new year, the Jin family's pharmacy was deliberately closed, and then it would be closed until the sixteenth day of the first month if no one knocked on the door. This half month is also Zhu Rong's purest day.

In the backyard of the pharmacy, Zhu Rong sat at a round table of solid redwood, holding a small pair of scissors to cut left and right. The gold leaf shone brightly between the milky white jade hands, sometimes turning it over and sometimes turning it over. Zhu Rong's expression was indifferent, like her elegant skirt, revealing leisure and elegance in the sun.

Linlang sat opposite Zhu Rong with her cheeks, carefully admiring the pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescents, and the pair of charming dimples with a smile. After a while, a lifelike golden butterfly took shape in Zhu Rong's hands, and the moment it opened its wings, the reflection of the golden sunlight happened to fall into Linlang's eyes and spread its wings.

"Come!" Zhu Rong waved her hand to greet Linlang, and there was also a slightly larger gold leaf butterfly attached to her supple sideburns. "You have to wear it for the New Year, it's called 'shouting'!"

"Aunt Rong, let's go out together later!" Linlang lay on Zhu Rong's knees, only to feel a gentle hand inserting the butterfly into her bun, and a sweet feeling came to her heart. "Is it pretty?" Linlang raised her head, shaking her head and smiling.

"Good looking ——!"

Zhu Rong lengthened her voice and got up to put away the scraps of paper on the table. "When I want to recite the scriptures, I won't go out. After a while, if you put this on, no one should be able to tell that it's you. After Zhu Rong finished speaking, she took out a mask from her sleeve and put it in Linlang's hand. If the girl who is about to leave the cabinet does not want to get married this year, she will wear a mask. ”

Linlang looked at the exquisite mask in her hand and couldn't put it down, and couldn't wait to put on the mask and laughed: "Is this prepared by Aunt Rong to stay at home?" "A pair of mischievous eyes are hidden behind emerald green feathers, and the forehead is completely covered by a mask, revealing only a pointed chin and red lips.

Looking at Linlang's appearance, Zhu Rong was stupid.

Back then, she was not a girl full of expectations, and a bright heart was throbbing. At that time, she also fantasized about her future husband opening her heart with endless romance. At that time, Zhu Rong already had a crush. She made this mask on purpose, waiting for the man's bride price.

"Aunt Rong!"

Linlang tilted her head and looked at Zhu Rong with fluttering eyes, and her cheeks covered with clouds of panic suddenly attracted Linlang's chuckles. "Aunt Rong blushed! Hey hey ......"

"Stinky girl, let's go out and have fun! It's time for me to get ready. ”

After sending Linlang away, Zhu Rong closed the door, and her memories of more than ten years collapsed instantly. The man in white passed by with a faint smile that time. The suave bookish anger lingers in the mind. Slowly, the figure got closer and clearer, and if someone could see through their chest, they would surely exclaim - Bai Shuyuan!

The long bustling street was crowded with people, and the shouts of candy sellers were everywhere. Linlang wore a mask and looked left and right behind the procession out of the city, and on the first day of the new year, it was also the time when the county magistrate held a sacrifice on the altar outside the west city.

Time flies, and the sun rises high in the blink of an eye. The warm light lazily shone on the earth, melting a long road. On the altar, Li Zhidi was wearing a fiery red official uniform and sitting in the front row, and behind him were two vacant Taishi chairs.

Linlang narrowed her eyes and looked at the altar from afar.

Ten years ago, Li Zhidi was placed behind him with four Taishi chairs. Golden cotton, white dragon, forest medicine, Du wine. At that time, the Golden City was so prosperous. Time flies, and so many changes have happened in Jincheng in the past ten years, and the four eye-catching Taishi chairs have become three, and then two this year.

Isn't this a kind of sarcasm?

Zhu Rong had already told Linlang about the Jin family, Jin Chi was imprisoned, and she should have fulfilled her wish. But for some reason, he couldn't be happy, as if a stone was hanging on the tip of his heart, and his whole body was sluggish and couldn't lift any energy.

After a while, Li Zhidi walked to the altar with his fat body and solemnly beckoned Bai Shuyuan and Du Laoqi to the stage to watch the ceremony.

"Just yesterday, it was verified by the official himself!"

After speaking, he paused, pouted his chin and said sadly as if he couldn't believe it: "Jin Chi is so bold that he actually hides arms in the cotton warehouse. The official expressed great regret that the Jin family on the rich side had done such a rebellious thing. If it weren't for the heavens opening his eyes and letting the cotton warehouse catch fire, this official would definitely be derelict in his duties to Emperor Xuande because of the Jin family's desecration! He said righteous indignation, and the fat on his face continued to shake because of the anger in his heart.

Li Zhidi looked at the people under the altar quietly, but his heart was on the two old foxes behind him. The Bai and Du families are enjoying their success, and he must find a chance to repair them properly!

"The Jin family was wronged, and the real masterminds are the two behind the adults. Isn't it? ”

As soon as Li Zhidi's words fell, the people in the audience did not raise their voices, and a faint rebuttal came into everyone's ears at the right time. Following the prestige, a man held a long sword, stepped on a branch and leaned against the trunk of the tree. If it had been placed in the past, Li Zhidi would definitely be angry, not to mention that at this time, he was confronted in front of the people of the county.

It's just that this person's words at this time are right in his heart, and he is worried that there is no reason to repair the two old foxes behind him! No, someone is going to stir up trouble!

"Presumptuous!"

The first person who couldn't sit still was Bai Shuyuan, he got up angrily, pointed at the man and said loudly: "Today's sacrifice, Hugh has to confuse the people!" ”

"Alas! Brother Bai's words are wrong, since it is a sacrifice, it is natural to be fair and just. Li Zhidi squinted his eyes and glanced at Bai Shuyuan, turned around and said to the man: "Please also ask Your Excellency to move the car and explain in detail!" ”

The man jumped forward, held his sword in the air, and flew directly to Li Zhidi from the top of everyone's heads with his arms outstretched. When passing by Linlang, he deliberately glanced back. It was this turn that Linlang saw his proud and indifferent eyes, and his heart instantly palpitated. "Blade!" She opened her mouth and frowned, has the third aunt already started to act?

Yes, the Jin family's affairs are a major matter, and if you want to overturn the case, you must do so in front of the people of the city, and it must be timely!

"Who is he? How can you speak for the Kim family? ”

"It's really lively this year!"

Under the altar, there are different opinions, ordinary people only care about the harvest of the year, and they don't care about who's family at all, and in their hearts everything is just a conversation after dinner. Maybe tomorrow afternoon, the matter of the Jin family will be a topic of conversation for the people of the whole city, and many years later, they will never think that the Jin family has been in crisis today, and even declined.

With mockery, the man glanced at Bai Shuyuan with disdain, raised his hand calmly, and the people in the audience instantly lost their voices. The powerful aura suddenly made Li Zhidi take two steps back and stand silently in front of Bai Shuyuan.

"Who is Your Excellency? Get your name in! Li Zhidi tried hard to calm himself, and his thin voice was deliberately rough, sounding extremely harsh.

"Blade!" The man spoke indifferently, controlling the entire aura and subtly guiding everyone. "Just yesterday, Li Guanren interrogated Linlang at the Jin family, didn't he give them time to commit the crime?"

"Hmph, what a joke! You mean that the official helped them commit the crime and framed the Jin family! Li Zhidi spoke indifferently under the incomprehensible gazes of the people around the altar. Although what Jian Feng said was true, there was no real evidence, and he was left to what he said. "Could it be that you are the man in black who robbed the sinner girl that day?"

"No!"

Jian Feng smiled negatively, this was the first time Linlang had seen him smile. Although it is not very pretty, this heartfelt smile is more touching.

"I wasn't there at the time, and even if I were, I wouldn't have interfered in it." After Jian Feng finished speaking, he looked at the people under the altar, and his eyes happened to be fixed on Linlang. "But what I want to tell Li Guanren is that I hit Linlang in Xiqiu that day, and she fell unconscious. Judging by those who have dealt with me in the past, she will be unconscious until at least this morning, unless someone deliberately wakes her up. ”

The implication is that if Linlang hadn't been stimulated by the basin of cold water that afternoon, she would have been in a coma until this morning.

"Linlang, you don't have to hide it! The girls who have not come out of the cabinet are waiting for Ruyi Langjun on South Street! Jian Feng narrowed his eyes and stared at Linlang with a smile, "Li Guanren, since Linlang has gotten rid of suspicion, you still have to worry more about the death of the maid of the Jin family!" ”

As Jian Feng's gaze looked, Linlang suddenly became the focus of attention.

"Oops! I should have remembered that girls who have not left the cabinet are not allowed to participate in the sacrifice! Linlang smiled and took off her mask, walked generously to the altar and said loudly: "The Jin family was framed!" ”
