In the spring before the first wife's return to the hall

Chapter 108
Jin'er stepped down the steps and stood still. The monk waiting there came to salute Jin'er and asked if Jin'er was frightened. When Gao Shi and Qi'er wondered why the woman seemed to be running away, he sighed softly.

"There's nothing strange about it. They are poor and afraid people, and they are afraid that they will be blamed if they bump into a nobleman—it's not like this happened once or twice in the temple."

"Even if our temple resolves it in every possible way, the poor people are still..." He shook his head: "Maybe that aunt just treats Madam as another kind of noble person."

Only then did Gao Shi and Qi'er understand, they shook their heads and said, "Really, bullying others is not a good thing."

Seeing that Jin'er had nothing to do, the monk wanted to salute and leave. Jin'er asked lightly, "So that's what surprised her—I don't know if Master knows her. I want someone to give her some money to calm the shock, and don't want to get sick." That's good."

"I think she must be a pilgrim in the temple. Well, please trouble Master. Sister-in-law Gao, take a tael of silver and deposit it with Master. When you see the old lady, please ask Master to pass it to the old lady."

Jin'er thought about this for a while: "If that aunt doesn't come for three months, please ask the master to use this tael of silver to add sesame oil in front of the Buddha on behalf of the aunt, and ask the Buddha to bless the aunt."

The monk recited the Buddha's name: "Madam is really kind. That aunt is not a frequent pilgrim in my temple, but many people in the temple know her—she set up a stall outside the mountain gate to sell some incense candles."

"Madam doesn't need to ask the little monk to hand over the silver taels on her behalf. Madam just needs to leave the silver taels at her stall when you leave. The stall is easy to find, under the big ginkgo tree."

Jin'er saluted and thanked the monk, then took Gao Shi and Qi'er back to the meditation room, just as the plain table had been packed, Jin'er's master and servant entered the table.

They were also very hungry, both Gao Shi and Qi'er felt that the food in the temple was delicious, and they ate a lot; but Jin'er's appetite was not good, so he only ate half a bowl of rice to feel full.

Thinking of what happened in Mu's residence, Qi'er and Gao shi understood Jin'er's mood, and they didn't dare to force Jin'er to wash his mouth and take a rest.

Jin'er did not rest, but knelt down in front of the Buddha again and chanted sutras until Jin Jingyi came to the temple.

Jin Jingyi didn't ask any further questions, knowing what Jin'er was here for, he just told Jin'er that he had already been to the temple, and he couldn't find the monk who received Jin'er in the temple.

Jin'er sighed: "That person really has a scheming heart. I also know that it is impossible to find something simply, but I will always be unwilling if I don't come."

Seeing Jin Jingyi's hand, she stretched it out to stand up with strength, and then glanced at the tall Buddha: "Tell me, does the Buddha's heart harden after seeing so many joys and sorrows in the world?"

Jin Jingyi hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, the Buddha is the most merciful." He hurriedly saluted and prayed, and then ordered the housekeeper to add 50 taels of sesame oil.

Jin'er shook her head and didn't say anything else, she got up and walked out of the hall: "The temple is really quiet, and I had a rare good sleep on the way here. Well, I want to come back to the temple tomorrow and stay overnight before returning home How do you look?"

Jin Jingyi heard the words and understood why Jin'er couldn't calm down in the mansion, and couldn't even get a good night's sleep: "Okay. We'll come back the next day."

The temple can make Jin'er temporarily forget her troubles and hatred, so that Jin'er can have a good sleep, why not agree?The turmoil in the mansion is really depressing.

Jin'er turned her head and smiled at him: "Thank you very much."

Jin Jingyi shook his head but didn't remind Jin'er that he didn't need to thank him: "When I came here, I saw many interesting things outside the mountain gate, why don't we go for a walk?" In the past, Jin'er liked those little things very much.

Now even if Jin'er doesn't like it, the Min'er siblings do.

Jin'er and Jin Jingyi led people to walk in the car, and the stalls were pulled from one stall to the next. They were just sugar figurines and the like, which were very popular with children, so Jin'er and Jin Jingyi still bought some.

Halfway through the journey, Jin'er said she was tired, and after getting into the carriage with Jin Jingyi, she said: "I bumped into an old lady in the temple, and the master in the temple said that her house is in front, let's send some silver taels to her." People are shocked, right?"

As soon as Jin Jing heard the words, he took it for granted, so he drove the carriage to the big ginkgo tree pointed out by the monk; there were not many people there, the stalls were very small, and the things were relatively few and not very good.

Jin'er didn't get out of the car, but asked Gao to bring some silver and some melons and fruits to find the woman.

There was no woman under the ginkgo tree. There were two children playing in front of the stall. The older one was a boy who looked about eight or nine years old, while the younger one was a girl who looked younger than the boy. Two or three years old.

Gao Shi went over to ask the two children if the adults were at home, the boy looked at Gao Shi and shook his head: "Not here."

Hearing that the person was not there, Gao was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and passed the melons and fruits: "These things are given to you, let's say they were sent by the people who collided in the temple. I am sorry for being a little bit careful."

The boy heard the words and took the melons and fruits, and asked the girl to bring over a broken wooden stool: "You sit down. We thought you were here to collect debts. You sit down. I'll go and call my parents over here."

As he spoke, he ran away carrying melons and fruits, and when he left, he glanced at the carriage that Jin'er and Jin Jingyi were riding in, a trace of indescribable greed flashed in his eyes.

Jin Jingyi frowned slightly: "I don't like this child."

Jin'er smiled and said, "Give me the money and leave. I don't care what the children do." But her smile was a bit forced, and her eyes were fixed on the two children from the beginning to the end, especially their faces.

The two children were very dirty, their faces were covered in ashes and mud, and they hadn't washed their faces for an untold amount of time.

After a while, a man came out of the shabby hut. He was wearing a long gown with several patches, but he was neatly tidied up. Standing with the two children did not look like a family at all.

But the two children called him "Daddy", obviously father and son.

A man who seems to have studied came over to pay respects to Mrs. Gao, sat down and said a few words, then asked about the situation in the temple, and then sighed: "I said that my wife has been in a coma since she came back. It turns out that she fell down. gone."

"I'm a scholar, I can't lift my shoulders with my hands, and I have two children. What should we do when my wife falls ill?"

Tears flowed down his face as he spoke, but there was nothing disgusting on that face, but a kind of amazement on the contrary.

Jin Jingyi looked at the man in surprise: "Okay, what a coquettish man."

Originally, when the man had a straight face, he only looked better than ordinary people, but his sadness made people feel a thousand kinds of unbearable, as if it was a great sin to make this man so sad.

Gao Shi was a little at a loss, looking at the man, she really didn't know what to say: it was the first time she saw a big man cry.

"Well, why don't you ask a doctor to show your lady? Don't worry, we will pay for all the medicines." After much deliberation, Gao could only mention this matter.

She was very embarrassed, and she couldn't look well. She looked at the man in front of her again: "Well, I haven't asked the gentleman's last name yet." The man didn't introduce himself, so she had to ask.

"My surname is Leng." The man replied Gao, and looked at the carriage not far away with some hesitation: "I know that the nobles in the house are busy, so can I really stay here and wait for my wife's condition?"

Mrs. Gao thought that the county lord would host a banquet to invite their wives and lords tonight. It was not too early at this time, so she really couldn't wait here: "Why don't I leave two taels of silver here, and I'll send someone tomorrow. How about coming over to see?"

"If there's anything wrong, I'll ask someone to bring the money back..." She was being mature and prudent, because that woman was walking like flying, and it was really hard to believe that she would fall asleep now.

Scholar Leng looked at Gao very embarrassed: "Two liang of silver, if my wife is seriously ill, even ginseng can't buy two sets of medicine..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gao didn't want to talk to him anymore, but the reputation of the Jin family couldn't be ignored, so she got up and dropped five taels of silver: "Now you only have these on your body, you take them to your lady to ask a doctor, and tomorrow I will have someone bring them to the doctor." When the doctor comes over and gives your lady a good look, I think I have brought enough silver taels."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, but was taken aback by Leng Shusheng's smile: it was like the sun just rising in the morning, dispelling the darkness all of a sudden, which made people feel happy.

This man is so coquettish, not only when he is sad, but also when he smiles.

Gao Shi coughed twice in embarrassment, and blushed a little when she lowered her head, it wasn't that she was attracted to Leng Shusheng: she was already disgusted by Leng Shusheng's greed, but that smile really made her blush.

The boy came over and grabbed Gao's handkerchief: "Is my mother okay?"

Leng Scholar hurried to pull the child: "Let go, let go quickly."

But there was already a black handprint on the veil, and even if Gao used it again, she would feel tired even if she washed it, so she threw the veil down: "Let your lady rest well."

Jin Jingyi looked at Jin'er: "Did you be deceived by someone? It's not the old lady's family you bumped into at all?"

Jin'er turned her head and bit her lower lip: "It's from that aunt's family, um, the two children look somewhat similar to that aunt, so there should be no mistake."

Jin Jingyi heard the words and looked over again, but he really couldn't see what the two children looked like: so can you tell their looks?He was really a little puzzled.

Jin'er had already closed his eyes, as if he was tired, so he didn't ask any more questions; of course, he didn't take this matter to heart, it was only a matter of a few taels of silver.

After their carriage left, Scholar Leng laughed, and the two children also hugged each other: "I got rich, I got rich, my mother fell really hard this time, and she managed to pick such a big gold ingot. "

The boy held Gao's handkerchief in his hand: "I see, it can be used as some silver, a rare boutique." The young man has a good eye: "I fell in love with it at the first sight, and if I act decisively, it will become ours. Ling'er, tell me what you want to eat, and I will buy it for you."
