New Year's Eve was the last day of the old year.
From tomorrow onwards, it would be a new year.
The cycle repeated and everything changed. Everyone was like this. Year after year, they sent away the regrets of the old year and welcomed the hope of the new year.
Therefore, people had to celebrate.
They were happy about the new year and made a summary of the past year.
Joy, pain, excitement, and dullness would all come to an end on this day. Tomorrow, it would be a new beginning.
For Lin Mengya, she had experienced more wonderful things in the past few years than she had in her previous life.
She had gained more than she had lost. There were also many regrets.
But at least she could continue to live and face the challenges of the new year.
However, there were some people who would forever remain in the old years. They would never be able to cross over this simple and extraordinary day like them.
The small courtyard was full of New Year's goods.
Aunt Fang had prepared a generous portion for them. With Long Tianhao around, of course, he could not bear to let his wife and children suffer.
Baisu and Cai Ru were his maids in name, but in fact, they could already take care of themselves.
The reason why they wanted to stay by his side was because they were worried about him.
When it came to pampering her, those two girls were also professionals.
So …
"Are you going to eat until next year's New Year?"
Qian Jinzi was jealous. Her big eyes were red.
What an evil rich man!
For the New Year, they had stocked up three houses full of New Year's goods!
And this did not include the fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat.
No! There was actually seafood that they could only see a few times a year here!
Gloomy!
She had so much, but she still wanted to cheat her of 100 taels.
Tears of indignation flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Qian Jinzi looked around and saw that there was no one around. She quickly wrapped the box of seafood, which could be sold for hundreds of taels in the aboriginals, into her cotton-padded clothes.
Zheng Yuan was speechless.
He felt that he could not be mute. It was good to be blind.
At least he did not have to see her act stupid.
Although there were not many of them, they came from all over the world.
She and Long Tianhao grew up in the Jin State. Baisu came from the Lieyun State but was trained to be a suicide soldier. She was probably unfamiliar with the New Year.
Although Cai Ru was from the Kingdom of Wei, she had the same experience as Bai Su. She was also a pitiful little girl who had been poisoned by others.
As for Qian Jinzi and Zheng Yuan, according to Long Tianhao, although Qian Jinzi's family was related to the aboriginals, strictly speaking, they were not part of the aboriginals.
However, it seemed that due to some unknown reasons, he had not lived with his clansmen for a long time.
As for Zheng Yuan, Long Tianhao had mentioned him before. Zheng Yuan should have a high position in their clan.
This was the problem of their race. They could be said to be strong, but they could be said to be weak.
Basically, if they couldn't control their emotions well, they would be forced to stay in the clan and wouldn't be allowed to go out easily.
Moreover, humans were creatures with extremely strong adaptability and vitality.
They would come up with countless ways to combat the damage of death caused by accidents.
That was why Zheng Yuan could stay by Qian Jinzi's side instead of being locked up like a bird in a cage.
After listening to Long Tianhao's words, Lin Mengya realized that her husband had not only thrown a script to the other party that day, but also a sword.
The key to their cage, which had been completely sealed.
Long Tianhao's kindness to them was like a rebirth.
And this was just to thank Zheng Yuan for his kindness to his daughter.
This man always knew how to make her softhearted quickly.
So many of them were celebrating the New Year together. The customs were different, but it was equally lively.
Watching Qian Jinzi and Moyan digging for treasures in the pile of New Year goods, Zheng Yuan patiently carried lanterns to light up for them.
Baisu and Cai Ru were responsible for kneading dough, making dumplings, and glutinous rice balls.
It was a grand scene of the New Year. It was obviously the warmest and most ordinary day, but it filled her heart to the brim.
She leaned on his warm chest casually.
Long Tianhao lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently. He narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly and happily.
She also understood why some people liked to wish that this day would come every year and every year.
Just like at this moment, she also hoped that she could stay forever and make this moment last forever.
"Master Gong, would you like to come and make the dumplings with us?"
Qian Jinzi was covered with valuable New Year goods, and his attitude towards Lin Mengya, the big money, became more and more like a lackey.
"Coming."
She did not hesitate to push her husband away, put on her cloak, and rushed out of the door excitedly.
She completely ignored Long Tianhao's gloomy face.
Otherwise, why would he hate all the men who appeared around his wife?
Didn't he know that he disturbed the rare tenderness of the couple?
He wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to try to get Madam to lift the ban of not letting him sleep in the room.
One must know that for a mature married man, sleeping in the study was simply a cruel torture that no one had ever seen!
But —
Madam smiled.
And she looked very happy.
Forget it!
Long Tianhao generously pulled Qian Jinzi out of the death blacklist in his heart.
Whoever made his wife happy, he would spare his life.
At this moment, the brave and fearless Lord felt that he was too generous.
He got up and went out with Madam.
"Madam, I'll also make the dumplings with you."
It was the Lunar New Year, so it should be lively and bustling!
.....
"Come on, we're all a family. No matter what misunderstandings we had in the past, since we're all sitting at the same table, let's let bygones be bygones. Let's toast and celebrate the New Year together."
At the dining table in the front yard of the Zhao Mansion, Old Master Zhao had the authority of a big family.
Unfortunately, not many people were impressed.
At least, the people in the Zhao Mansion did not have a good impression of them, especially the two old masters of the Zhao Family.
Pfft! What a piece of sh * t!
For the sake of their own future, they would hand over Zhao Xiaodie, who had no one to rely on.
If it came down to it, they would definitely not protect their own clansmen. They might even bite back and sacrifice their own clansmen as stepping stones.
Old bastards! Why didn't they choke on the wine?
Beauty was always produced in comparison, and so was the difference.
Ever since the road was blocked by the heavy snow, they finally realized who was truly good to them and who was hypocritical and selfish.
Perhaps the thinking of the clan still had a great impact on them.
But it was human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.
When the lives of themselves and their relatives were in conflict with the interests of a few people in the clan,
As long as they were not fools, they would make the choice that was most beneficial to them.
Therefore, they did not have a good impression of the Zhao Family, who came out of nowhere and tried to suppress them with seniority and the rules of the clan.
Under the subtle influence of Lin Mengya and Fang Rao, they gradually became enlightened and learned to think independently.
Maybe it looked the same now, but once there was turmoil, it would continue to accelerate the evolution of these people's thinking.
Relying on bloodline, they had no choice but to devote their lives. But if all the resources were occupied by a few people in the clan, they would quickly fall apart.
Whether it was the clan or the bloodline, how could they compare to his own personal interests?
Moreover, for those in high positions, they, who were at the bottom of the clan, were not human at all.
They were just leek after leek, using their own flesh and blood to fatten up the people above them. After being squeezed dry, they would be abandoned by the clan.
This kind of situation was sick, and it was very disadvantageous to the development of the clan and individuals.
Lin Mengya's arrival might have exacerbated this contradiction, but it was not caused by her. It had existed for a long time.
And it might not be a bad thing for her to muddy the waters.
After all, the aboriginals were not at the end of the line yet, and the people above them would not be so crazy as to treat their clansmen too harshly.
If the problem was exposed or even solved now, there would definitely be pain and sacrifice.
There would definitely be pain and sacrifice, but it would allow the aboriginals to retain their new strength to the greatest extent.
There was no revolution that did not hurt.
But it could bring new hope.
Unfortunately, some people's thinking would forever remain in the decaying darkness.
Bai Jing was one of those people who had been swallowed by the darkness.
Although she could not openly refute the Zhao Family's second elder, in her opinion, she had already stepped on Fang Rao.
She was lowly and could be bullied.
She curled her lips and revealed her most dignified and generous smile. She raised her wine glass.
"Second elder is right. I am the most magnanimous person. Fang Rao, although you have done so many wrong things to me, as long as you serve me tea and apologize, I can forgive you.
After all, you can't write two Zhaos with one stroke. No matter how immature you are, you are still the Zhao Family's daughter-in-law, and I am also your sister-in-law.
Today, I will be magnanimous and give you this opportunity. "
She was quite magnanimous!
Everyone in the Zhao Residence glared at her discontentedly. How many vegetables did she have to drink like this?
Also, who was going to apologize to whom?
If they had not acted like bandits and insisted on occupying the nest, would they have suffered so much?
In short, Bai Jing's image, which was not very bright in the past, had now sunk to the bottom of the valley. Everyone wanted to bury her in a few baskets of soil and stomp on her a few more times. They wanted to bury her firmly underground and never let her come out to harm people again.
Fang Rao naturally felt everyone's emotions.
Now that her status and position were different, it made her think more.
She could just leave with Xiao Ya and the others.
But these people could not.
These people used to be the responsibility on her and Huo Shujiang's shoulders, but after they got married and chose to leave the residence to live alone, they also had their support.
She, Fang Rao, was not a good person, but she was not an ungrateful person either.
So before she left, she had to arrange a way out for these people.
Moreover, it was just a few words. They could not make her lose a piece of flesh.
So, Fang Rao only glanced at Bai Jing. Under her provocative gaze, she poured herself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
