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

Chapter 143: Snake Swallows Elephant

Qi'er didn't smile at the sorceress: "Excuse me, you're really putting money on yourself! If you don't let me go aside, you will delay our wife's business, and you will be beaten."

The sorceress ignored Qi'er and called Jin'er, causing the wives and wives in front of and behind the carriage to frown: especially the woman who took her money almost threw the money on her face—it's just how much money you But I got into trouble!
Jin'er already knew that she was a witch, so she wanted to ignore her, but she yelled, "Shut up!" She gave the old woman a hard look, "It's a bit late for incense today, why not?" Have time to chatter with you? Qi'er, it's important to hurry, don't let Mrs. Tai wait."

The sorceress heard the words and glanced at the carriage in front of her, and knew that Jin'er was not going out alone today, so she didn't dare to say anything more and let her go aside.

But she also heard Jin'er's words and felt in her heart: Shangxiang, this is going to the mountain.

The commotion on Jin'er's side has already alarmed Mrs. Tai in front: "Who is it?" After hearing that it was a witch, she shook her head: "What do you mean by stopping her on the street? There are really no rules."

She inadvertently asked, "Is it Goddess Ma or Goddess Sun?"

"Not at all, the face is tight." The answers of the women made Mrs. Tai frowned again: "No? Where did the witch come from, she can't be a liar, right?"

Mrs. Tai's carriage moved slowly, and it was almost noon when it reached the mountain.Someone had already gone up the mountain to arrange everything, Jin'er accompanied Mrs. Tai into the monastery and went to the Zen room to rest first.

Then Mrs. Tai gave the abbot a sum of sesame oil money, and had to do another ritual ceremony, but she didn't say what it was for: when talking about this with the abbot, she looked at Jin'er more than once.

Jin'er guessed that the idea might have something to do with Tan Qiuyin, so she excused herself to leave the meditation room and let Mrs. Tai talk to the abbot, so she came out to get some air.

It was cool in the monastery, and Jin'er ate two more pieces of melon, and the heat was gone; but she was not in a good mood, so she took Qi'er to sit in the pavilion outside the meditation room.

After Jin'er sat down, Qi'er felt windy and went to fetch clothes for Jin'er. There were only two women guarding the pavilion.

"Is Madam here to rejoice?" The sorceress called Jin'er loudly outside the pavilion, her face smiling like an old chrysanthemum that is about to fail and has been blown by wind and rain.

Jin'er frowned, and glanced at the meditation room: "I don't have time to chat with you today."

The sorceress refused to leave again: "It's just a few words, look at the sweat on my body, don't you?"

Jin'er has nothing to do with her, knowing that if she keeps pestering her like this, it will be easier to attract attention: "Come here." She looked at the sorceress walking beside her: "Just a few words, I still want to accompany Mrs. Tai."

"Ma'am, I have nothing else to do." The sorceress lowered her voice and smiled, "You always know a thing or two about what happened back then. It's not that there's no way I won't take such a step, right?"

"It's not what you think, it's just that we met each other on the mountain and took care of each other;" She glanced at Jin'er: "It's really difficult these days, even if I have a place to stay, I want to find an errand Not easy."

Jin'er frowned: "Don't push yourself too hard, you didn't listen to what I told you last time, did you?"

The sorceress smiled even more obsequiously, but she didn't show any fear of Jin'er's displeasure: "You and I..." She raised her eyebrows and looked around: "Is it? You have the heart to watch me eat bran and swallow vegetables ?”

Annoyance flashed across Jin'er's face: "You have the nerve to say that! Are you threatening me?"

"No way. If I really want to threaten you, I can say something else, for example, I can go to see Mrs. Tai." She looked at Jin'er and smiled unabated: "But I never said that, right?"

"Now I just want to find a job so that I can support myself; you know how much I have suffered, and now I have no other ideas, just want to survive."

Jin'er looked at her when she heard the words, and she didn't say softly until she lowered her head: "This is not a place to talk, see you at the spring pool in the back mountain at night."

When she said this, her voice raised slightly: "I said that I don't believe this anymore, why didn't you finish?" Qi'er came back.

"You're here again! You really depended on us. Let me tell you, if you don't get out now, I'll order someone to beat you up." Qi'er rushed to Jin'er's side, pushed the sorceress away and raised her eyes: " Still not leaving?"

The sorceress smiled and bowed: "I am also doing it for the good of my wife. I really have a good intention. My wife should understand best." After she finished speaking, she gave a salute: "I'll leave now, girl, don't be angry, your wife is a sensible person."

She walked away chattering, Qi'er gave her a hard look: "Madam, you can't give her a smile on this kind of person, otherwise they will be very easy to climb."

Jin'er nodded: "I see. Well, how long will Mrs. Tai's rituals be? Ask Mrs. Gao, I think it's likely to spend the night on the mountain, let her remember to make arrangements early."

She originally wanted to spend the night on the mountain, but Mrs. Tai gave her a very good excuse today.

Qi'er agreed to send her mother-in-law to ask, and sat down with Jin'er: "It's really cool and clean here, if it's the backyard of our house."

"What a big tone." There was a strange cry, Jin Er turned around and saw Jin Shunyi said indifferently: "Your elder brother is not here, he has an errand today; if you are looking for Mrs. Tai, she is in the Buddhist hall."

Jin Shunyi pointed at Jin'er: "I'm here to look for you!" He wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the women.

The wives tugged at him: "Second Master, that's your sister-in-law, how could you rush over?"

Jin Shun patted his thigh: "What sister-in-law, you don't want to put gold on her face! You can really think that she is the mistress of the Jin family, and, I'm sorry. Mu Jin'er, tell me, why did you ask the government to invite you Let go of my aunt!"

"You all know that I donated to the government, so I deliberately made trouble at this time, right?" He was so angry that he slapped his thigh again, because he was so angry that he accidentally slapped himself with too much force, and he grinned: "You guys You just don’t want to look at me, do you?”

Jin'er really didn't bother to pay attention to him: Fei's arrest was a matter of course, because Keren said that what she did was all taught by Fei.

When I get to the government, I can’t say anything. If the government doesn’t take Fei, it’s really a ghost: No wonder Mrs. Tai is going up the mountain today. Obviously, people from the government have come to inform her—Mrs. Tai clearly didn’t care. ah.

Fei's self-defeating, what's the matter with her, Mu Jin'er?You must know that neither she nor Jin Jingyi went to trouble Fei Shi.

Seeing that Jin'er didn't speak, just stared at the trees outside the pavilion in a daze, Jin Shunyi jumped up and down and shouted: "If you don't let my aunt out, I won't finish with you today."

Jin'er was annoyed by the noise: "Come here, tie me up and shut up. The quiet place of Buddhism is so noisy, if the Buddha is offended, it will be really terrible."

"Also, Mrs. Tai is doing something, and I can't be disturbed by people's nonsense." She didn't even look at Jin Shunyi, if she was tied up, she was tied up, and it was up to Mrs. Tai or Jin Jingyi to decide how to deal with it.

Just tie her up.

Jin Shunyi was pushed upside down, tied up and dragged out. He had his own Zen room to house him, and he would not miss a bite of food: if he didn't eat, it wouldn't be Jin'er's fault.

Seeing that Jin Shunyi was so nervous, Jin'er guessed that Fei's crime might not be light, otherwise the government wouldn't need to inform Mrs. Tai, right?
Mrs. Tai didn't seem to know that Jin Shunyi had been here, and she never came out of the Buddhist hall: but as soon as Jin Jing arrived, she sent someone to call Jin Jingyi to the Buddhist hall.

A ceremony lasted until the evening, and Jin'er served Mrs. Tai for dinner. Before she could say anything, Mrs. Tai asked her to go back: After tossing for a whole afternoon, Mrs. Tai was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes.

Jin'er quit and saw Jin Jingyi yawning again and again, so she told him to go to bed earlier; when she returned to the room, she sent Qi'er to sleep, and after another hour, she quietly opened the door.

The moonlight is just right.

You can see the road clearly without lighting the lamp, Jin'er quietly left the yard: She looked down the mountain or went to the spring pool in the back mountain first.

The sorceress had been waiting there for a long time, and when she saw Jin'er hurried up to greet her, "You're here. I thought you weren't coming, but I felt really cold in my heart; I just said I couldn't, and I too..."

Jin'er's eyes turned, causing the sorceress to swallow the rest of her sentence: "Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

The sorceress swept the boulder with her sleeve first, then took out a piece of clothing and put it on the floor: "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk. This dress is very good, I just took it because I saw no one was there."

Of course Jin'er didn't care about the sorcerer's petty theft: "If you have something to say, I'll hurry back." She looked around while talking.

The sorceress looked at Jin'er, lowered her head and said softly: "Jinfu is a big family and has a big business. You can enjoy the food and drink spicy food. You can't let me drink the northwest wind, right? Find me an errand in Jinfu, and I will do it too. I don't want that housekeeper or anything like that."

"As long as you have more money and less work, you won't be angry. You are the wife of the Jin family now. I can't ask too much, can I?"

Jin'er nodded: "It's not too much. You are old, how can you go to the mansion to work as an errand so that you can really do things, um, how about arranging two little girls to order you around?"

"Or, let you go to the Zhuangzi to be the steward, and a big Zhuangzi will be handed over to you, and you won't have to report any accounts at the end of the year-there are more Zhuangzi in the Jin family, and there is no shortage of this one."

The sorcerer was overjoyed: "That's right, you're finally enlightened." She sat down as she spoke, "Oh, it's not that I insisted on embarrassing you, the last time I took the money back, the one who killed Qiandao said that I was too soft-hearted. .”

"When life is difficult, people will have too many bad ideas in their hearts. He said that as long as we go to Mrs. Tai, the reward must not be just a few taels."

"Don't stare, didn't I stop you? You are so poor, you are all so poor, and it is not really necessary to harm you. What good does harming you do to us, don't you think?"

"It's so good now, we can have some soup if you eat meat, no matter what..." She saw Jin'er's eyes staring at her when she said this, and swallowed the last part of the sentence: "I also protected you back then Yes, right? Without me, you would have died long ago, what are you staring at?"

The sorceress complained a few words and then raised her head: "Don't worry about Zhuangzi, you also know that I am not the material for farming, and the one who kills thousands of knives doesn't understand that; besides, I spend my whole life wandering around outside the city. Go, finally bought a house in the city, don’t you think so?”

"The Jin Mansion has a lot of shops in the city. If you give us one or two, or three or four shops, we can still manage them. It's okay to have more. The one who killed a thousand swords has also been educated."
