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

Chapter 54 Good Deeds
After hearing Lizheng's words, Mrs. Mu couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name: "Amitabha! God is so pitiful, whoever does such a wicked thing is not afraid of going to the eighteenth level of hell."

Jin'er sighed faintly: "The villains in this world are really not afraid of the eighteen hells, or maybe they think that they enjoy the moment first, and we can talk about the future later."

She looked at Lizheng: "Well, there are so many corpses in that place, I'm afraid no one would dare to go there; people who died in vain, the government..."

"The government sent people to Lingzhuang. The butcher and her daughter's corpse are easier to talk about. At that time, everyone will help you a little bit. You can be regarded as neighbors. I really bought a lot of his meat."

Li Zheng took Jin'er's words, sighed and drank another glass of wine: "The butcher looks fierce, but his legs have long been useless. He is also a poor man; most importantly, he is kind."

"Anyone who has bought his meat knows that it's just too much, he's really a good man." After sighing, he drank another glass of wine: "It's the corpse of the woman who suffered a great crime, and I don't know where it came from."

"It's been buried for about ten days? I heard the policeman say so, but the policeman said that the butcher's father and daughter might be plotting to make money. I don't believe it. The butcher is a good man."

As soon as the good man in Lizheng spit out his mouth, he raised his neck and poured down another glass of wine; Mu Jian's eyes twitched and twitched, thinking: If he continues to talk like a good man, a jug of wine will not be enough for him alone.

So Mu Jian quickly said, "The butcher still has a daughter. I bought meat for my mother twice, and I also had something to do two streets away, so I brought it back by the way—I haven't seen his daughter yet."

"His daughter doesn't come out to sell meat. It is said that he doesn't let her come out to show his face, but people say that his daughter helps him kill pigs and sheep at home, and kills cattle and horses."

There was a trace of fear in Lizheng's small eyes: "When the officials have cattle and horses to kill, the two butchers on our side can't do it. This butcher Zhang will do it all."

"But because the butcher's legs were broken on the mountain that year, all the work of slaughtering was handed over to his only daughter; hey, the butcher asked someone to marry his daughter two years ago, but who dares to take it."

At this point, Li Zheng winked his eyes at Mu Jian, deliberately teasing the timid scholar: "You said that the couple can live without a quarrel? But if you married the daughter of Zhang Butcher's family, you made her angry ,Hey."

Seeing that Mu Jian's eyes were straight, he reached out to take the jug and filled it up, and then he took a gulp and filled up a glass before he let out a long breath: "Or there is no quarrel at all, you just want to take a concubine or something. "

"She's not happy, she raised the knife and dropped it," Li Zheng gestured with the palm of his hand, which made Mu Jian's neck shrink unconsciously: "It's just a wound that bleeds, maybe even the little girl Life is gone."

"Both cows and horses are big guys, not bigger than people? But she doesn't even bat an eye, she's a girl who goes in with a white knife and goes in with a red knife. How dare you marry her back?"

"That's not marrying a daughter-in-law, that's marrying a god of death." Li Zheng shook his head at this point, then looked at Jin Jing and said, "Master Jin, do you think it makes sense?"

Jin Jingyi smiled slightly: "Li Zheng is right, but then, butcher Zhang's daughter has never been married?"

"No one dares to go see each other," Li Zheng finally took advantage of Mu Jian's frightened distraction, and took a piece of his elbow into the bowl: "Still married? Not even engaged."

Jin'er sighed: "It's pitiful." Seeing Li Zheng looking over, she blinked her eyes: "I mean the woman who suffered a great crime, you said that she was alone outside—Jing Yi, why don't we do a good deed."

Jin Jing looked at Jin'er, and suddenly remembered what happened to Jin'er in the past five years, and thought that if Jin'er hadn't come back, he might have died in the wilderness, or he might have been killed and buried.

Immediately, he nodded heavily, then looked at Li Zheng and said, "Let's pay some money to get those people..."

But Jin'er interjected: "Let's pay some money and bury Butcher Zhang, his daughter and the woman who suffered a great crime; let them have something to do after death, let's go to the ground and rest in peace."

Mrs. Mu chanted Buddha again when she heard this, but she didn't stop her daughter. She thought it was a good thing to do good deeds to accumulate yin and virtue.

It is God’s blessing, God’s blessing, and ancestor’s blessing that my daughter can come back safely in five years. If she can do good deeds, she should do more.

Li Zheng didn't expect to get such a good job in Mu's house, so he nodded repeatedly: "Master Jin and Mrs. Jin are kind-hearted, and the villain will definitely arrange things properly."

Jin'er looked at Lizheng, and put a shrimp into his bowl: "A person who has suffered such a misfortune must die with regret, right? I have accumulated a lot of grievances, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear any more grievances. I can't bear the slightest loss."

"We just want to do a good deed, and we don't want to make any bad guy suffer because of it; we will also prepare tea and silver as rewards, so you should be more careful, old man—we all know some things."

Li Zheng smiled awkwardly: "I understand Madam's words, I understand; I will definitely take care of it." He also felt a sudden bump in his heart.

Originally, it was normal for him and the guards to withhold money and get some benefits; when he heard that the Jin family wanted to pay for the burial of those who had died suddenly, he thought it was a big deal, so he was overjoyed.

But when Jing Jin'er said this, his little heart trembled; almost everyone in the world believed in ghosts and gods, so of course he believed it, thinking in his heart that Jin'er's words were very reasonable.

Anyway, the Jin family said that they would give other benefits. With the Jin family speaking, it is impossible to send him and the servants with a few coins: Well, for the sake of safety and future generations, he thinks it is better to bury the person honestly.

Jin'er nodded and stopped talking, but she didn't eat much, she just quietly listened to Master Mu, Jin Jingyi and Li Zheng chatting.

Finally, he was full of wine: he drank until he staggered when he walked, and then he stood up and said goodbye--said he had to inform several other companies.

Seeing his appearance, Master Mu sighed: "Lizheng, you can go home, Jian'er will inform you of the houses in our alley, and let everyone pay attention."

Li Zheng was even happier when he heard it, thanked him, took what Jin Jingyi gave him, and walked away waddlingly.

Mu Jian flicked his sleeves: "I hate things."

Jin'er didn't make a sound, but Jin Jing said with a smile: "He is a person who has to deal with people. There is a saying that Yan Luo likes to see little devils, but this kind of people have to be careful."

"If it's too soft, he'll bully you; if it's too hard, he'll trip you up in the dark." Seeing that Mu Jian couldn't listen, he shut up and stopped talking.

Telling Mu Jian such truths is of course for Jin'er's sake, and Mu Jian has to be motivated; if Mu Jian doesn't have that kind of thought, Jin Jingyi certainly doesn't have to worry about it.

Everyone turned around again, and after two cups of tea, it was really dark, so Jin Er and Jin Jingyi bid farewell and went back home.

Mrs. Mu and his wife and Mu Jian sent them out of the gate, and Mrs. Mu even pulled Jin'er and urged her, just because she was afraid that her daughter would suffer some grievances in the Jin family.

But Mrs. Mu is not a knowledgeable person, let alone a city man, and she can't teach her daughter anything except worrying.

Jin'er knew that Mrs. Mu was a loving daughter, so she didn't grow impatient, but Mu Jian was bored and tired: "Okay, mother, you still have to finish. Can you help me?"

"Don't worry about your sister anymore. There is nothing wrong with her in the Jin family. She eats better than us, dresses better than us, and lives better than us. What is there to worry about?"

Only then did Mrs. Mu stop talking, let go of Jin'er's hand and let her get into the carriage, and watched her daughter's carriage drift away, gradually disappearing into the night.

She turned her head and shed tears again: "Oh, my daughter is back, but in the Jin Mansion, it's really hard for her."

Master Mu also sighed, knowing that his daughter's life will not be easy, but he and his wife can't help; it's good not to cause trouble for her daughter.

But Mu Jian rolled his eyes: "It's not about wives and concubines. According to me, there is nothing wrong with being a concubine in the Jin family. It is better to be a wife and suffer in a family like ours!"

Master Mu said angrily this time: "Nonsense!"

Mrs. Mu glared at Master Mu: "You scare him, why can't you speak well? Son, why are you so confused? If your sister becomes a concubine, you will be a head shorter in front of the Jin family in the future!"

Jin'er didn't know about the conversation between her parents and her younger brother in front of the door, she was not used to sitting in the carriage.

Because there were only her and Jin Jingyi in the small space, and Jin Jingyi was sitting beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and gently supporting her.

She struggled intentionally, but Jin Jingyi brought her to him instead: "Be careful, don't bump into it."

He insisted on doing this, on purpose.

Jin'er was very helpless, and didn't understand why Jin Jingyi suddenly got closer to him after returning from the Tanfu?Especially in front of a crowd.

That's not what she wanted.

It was even more embarrassing for the two of them not to talk in the carriage, at least that was how Jin Er felt, so she had to find something to say when she had nothing to say: "You don't blame me for making my own decisions, you want those people who died so violently to be buried in peace? "

First of all, it is not suitable to talk about the affairs of the Jin Mansion, because Jin Jingyi has no idea at all, and besides, it is obvious that Tan Qiuyin suffered a disadvantage, so if she mentions it at this time, it will feel like a villain.

Besides, the murder of Zhang Butcher's family can be said to be a very nervous matter, at least it is also a topic of conversation, but Jin Jingyi has not mentioned it since he got on the carriage.

Jin'er thought, she used the money from the Jin family, so she had to give Jin Jing a few words of explanation.
