The first day of the new year, the beginning of the year, the beginning of the new year, originated from the day of Shun Chengtian's throne. There are also expressions such as the three beginnings, three years, and three yuans, which refer to the beginning of the year, month, and day. Chinese folk customs are mostly New Year's greetings, firecrackers, New Year's money and so on.

"You got up so early, second brother?" In the early morning, when Jingchen woke up, he asked Li Ge, who was sitting in the room in a daze.

"You're awake. Li Ge came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced back at Jingchen, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and wash up, we will go to Yi'an County in a while, today is the first day of the new year, and the city must be very lively." ”

"Okay~" Jingchen responded happily, and when he was washing, Lin Yurou knocked on the door and entered the house. After the little monk took care of it, the three of them went out of the house together.

The lively streets are full of lights, filled with a strong New Year's flavor, and after strolling around the county until noon, not long after the three of them returned to the county office, the sad Xie county official knocked on the door of Li Ge's residence, "Master Li, are you back?"

Li Ge opened the door when he heard the sound, saw the expression of the county official outside the house, welcomed him into the house, and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Lord Xie?"

"It's not. The county magistrate sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is something I want to ask Master Xiao Li to help with." ”

"If there is anything I can do, I will do my best. ”

"Then I'll thank Master Xiao Li first. The county official Xie was grateful, and then said bitterly, "Here's the thing, isn't it the first day of the new year today, I accompanied my wife back to her house to pay New Year's greetings, but my unmarried wife and sister ......"

"But what about it, Master Xie, it's okay for you to say anything. Li Ge paused when he saw the county official's words, and hurriedly asked.

"Hey~ My sister-in-law has become a stupid and crazy person for no reason, and she is actually pregnant. When County Officer Xie said this, he sighed helplessly.

"My lord, I shouldn't be able to help with this, right?" Li Ge replied with a regretful face when he heard the county official's words.

"No, you can help with this, because my sister is most likely haunted by a ghost, and the fetus she is carrying in her womb is very strange. Speaking of this, Xie Zhantang sighed bitterly, and then said, "It's not a secret, this unmarried girl is pregnant, and no one dares to ask for it in the future, so my mother-in-law fed my wife and sister several abortion pills, but after she drank this medicine, the fetus in her womb was nothing." ”

"This ......" After Li Ge heard this, his face changed, and he said, "The matter of the adult's wife and sister, Yurou should diagnose the reason, don't hesitate to do it, I'll go and ask Yurou, my lord will take us to your wife's house now." ”

"Okay~ I'll prepare a carriage outside the house and wait for you. County Officer Xie replied, and then left in a hurry.

"Second brother, I'll go with you. Sitting quietly, Jingchen got up and walked over to Li Ge's side and said.

"Well, let's go, let's go and call Yurou. After leaving the house with the clean dust, Li Ge knocked on the door of Lin Yurou next door, and after briefly saying what Xie Zhantang, the county official of Shicai County, said, the three of them went out of the house.

On the side of the road outside the mansion, the anxious county magistrate walked back and forth beside a big carriage, and when he saw Li Ge and the three people coming out, he hurriedly greeted them into the car, and then the carriage galloped away outside the county seat.

On the way, the three of them learned from Xie Zhantang that his wife's family lived in Qiyang Town, and his father-in-law was also a member of the officialdom.

More than an hour later, the carriage stopped outside a courtyard in the town of Qiyang. After getting out of the car, Xie Zhantang led the three of them straight into the house. His father-in-law's mansion was unusually ornate and very large, with gardens, rockeries and several pavilions, including a small lake. Such a mansion is not much worse than the thaumaturgical pavilion.

"A person in the officialdom can have such a family background, if it weren't for ......" Walking on the path in the house, Li Ge thought to himself. After a short time, Xie Zhantang settled the three of them in a hall and sat down.

The maid in the house brought tea, and Xie Zhantang said a few words before going out. Li Ge took a few sips of the teacup, and after chatting with Lin Yurou and Jingchen for a while, County Officer Xie led the three people to the hall. The three were an old man, an old woman, and a young woman, and after some introductions, it turned out to be his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife.

"Zhantang, these three are the thaumaturgical nationalists from the Shock Division?" the old man glanced at Li Ge and the three of them, and asked his son-in-law who was standing beside him.

"Yes, my father-in-law. Xie Zhantang hurriedly nodded in response.

"The three little masters are polite. The old man raised his hand and saluted, then whispered a few words to the old woman beside him, and then said with a wry smile, "The family is unfortunate, it is rare for a few little masters to help today, Yan is here to thank you." ”

"You're welcome, I wonder if you can take me to explore Ling Qianjin's pulse now?" Lin Yurou replied in a flat tone.

"Father, mother, I'll take this girl to find out my sister's pulse. The young woman in the room said to the old man and the old woman beside her, and then led Lin Yurou out with the two nodding in agreement.

"Amitabha!" Jingchen looked at Lin Yurou's back as she disappeared outside the door, recited the Buddha's name aloud, and then whispered to Li Ge beside him, "Second brother, I feel a trace of strength in this mansion. ”

"Angry?" Li Ge heard this, lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked the old man in the house, "Master Yan, in addition to Ling Qianjin's affairs, are there other strange things happening in your family?"

"No, nothing strange has happened in my house except for my little daughter. The old man surnamed Yan sighed, stretched out his hand and patted the back of the old woman beside him who was bowing her head and weeping softly, "Madam, don't be sad." ”

"Oh~" Li Ge nodded in response, and then glanced at Jingchen, and pondered at the bottom. It didn't take long for Xie Zhantang's wife to lead Lin Yurou back to the hall.

"Girl, do you see anything about the fetus in my daughter's womb?" The two returned to the house, and Master Yan hurriedly got up and asked.

"After the pulse I just checked, the fetus in Lingjin's womb is afraid that it is not a human fetus. Lin Yurou walked up to Li Ge and sat down, and Liu Mei frowned slightly and glanced at Li Ge.

"It's not a human womb, girl, what do you mean by that? Mrs. Yan, who had been bowing her head and sobbing beside her, got up and asked suspiciously.

"It is normal for people's veins to rise and fall, and six ups and twelves represent pregnancy, so that although the daughter is pregnant, there is another kind of weirdness between the ups and downs of her veins. At this point, Lin Yurou moved her gaze to Mrs. Yan, "Although I have never explored the pulse image of Ling Qianjin, my aunt once told me that a person with this kind of pulse image should be pregnant with a ghost fetus. ”

"How is this possible? Girl, don't talk nonsense. When Master Yan heard this, a wave of anger appeared on his face.

"Dad, don't be angry, I think what this girl said is true. Mrs. Xie walked up to his father and grabbed the latter's arm, and then said, "You say that my sister is crazy, but she is not crazy, when I talked to her in her boudoir in the morning, she told me that the fetus in her womb is a prince surnamed Wang, and that Wang Gongzi lives in Xishan in our Qiyang County." ”

"Xishan?" After hearing this, Master Yan looked straight at his daughter, and then took a few steps back and sat down on the chair behind him.
