"Old lady, my dear mother, why did you go like this?"

In broad daylight, the world is bright. In the public eye, our eldest son Zhang, wearing mourning clothes, stumbled onto the small boat where the beautiful tigress was riding with tears on his face. He knelt in front of the coffin with a ping-pong sound, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried like losing his relatives, crying and shouting, "Old lady, my dear mother, open your eyes and take a look! Your unfilial nephew Zhang Haogu, come to see you, old lady, I didn't expect that the last time I parted in the capital would become eternal. What should I do after you call your nephew?"

"You... who are you?" The beautiful tiger on the boat, who was murderous intent in front of the Wu brothers, was stunned and forgot to kneel down and bow down. He couldn't remember any relatives he had in Linqing City. The pretty maid who was guarding the coffin was also very strange. She hurried over and pulled the tigress's sleeve and asked, "Miss, do we have relatives in Linqing? Why didn't I hear you tell the master?"

"I haven't heard of it? This guy wouldn't have recognized the wrong person, right?" The beautiful tigress became even more confused. At this time, Zhang Shitou also ran onto the boat, first put the sacrifices and laying ceremony in front of the coffin, and then kowtowed three times to the coffin, and finally pulled Master Zhang, who was already crying, with red eyes and choked, "Young Master, no one can be resurrected. Young Master, please feel sorry for your grief. Otherwise, if the old lady knows you, she will not be able to see you crying and you will not be able to rest in peace."

"Get out! I just want to cry!" Our Master Zhang pushed away Zhang Shitou, who was kindly comforting, and cried with red eyes: "I lost money when I was doing business in the capital. If the old lady hadn't seen me pitiful, gave me food and travel expenses to return home, I would have starved to death in the capital! I would have been repayed by someone's grace. The old lady's deep kindness to me is my reborn parents. If I could not repay the old lady's recreation, would I still be a human being?" After that, our Master Zhang walked a few more steps, climbed onto the coffin and continued to cry - the heartbroken crying sound would soften even the sarcastic person.

"Young Master, you are such a good person who is grateful for your kindness." Zhang Shitou was moved by our Master Zhang's righteousness and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears that were sobbed out by Lao Jiang. The beautiful tigress and the maid over there could only hear the smell. He was surprised when the second wife did such a good deed, and then worried that our Master Zhang would cry and make a joke. So the master and servant quickly knelt down next to the coffin and kowtowed to return the salute. The beautiful tigress asked carefully: "Young Master, do you confirm that the second girl's second mother saved you in the capital? The little girl had never heard the second mother say about this. Did the young master recognize the wrong person?"

"Miss, are you surnamed Xiong? The body of the old lady is to be transported to the capital?" Our eldest son Zhang asked crying. The beautiful tigress nodded and answered honestly: "What the young master said is not bad. The young lady is indeed surnamed Xiong. She is from Jiangxia, Hubei (now Wuhan), but Erniang is from Beijing. The day before yesterday, there was a major change in her family. Several brothers went to the capital first, but Erniang was angry and couldn't afford to get sick in Jiangxia. The young lady had no choice but to stay in Jiangxia's hometown to take care of her. She never thought that Erniang would die before the New Year and left a last word to bury her remains back to the hometown of Beijing. The young lady had no choice but to carry the coffin north with her maid Xiu'er, to satisfy Erniang's wish, and to go to the capital to meet her father and brother."

"That's right, I didn't recognize the wrong person." Our Master Zhang said with tears: "The old lady has done good deeds and accumulated virtues throughout her life. When she was poor and destitute, she also helped her. The young lady's greatest wish is to repay the old lady's kindness. She never thought that the old lady..." Speaking of this, our Master Zhang was already crying and could not say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Strange?" The beautiful tigress was skeptical about our eldest son Zhang's words and asked again: "Young Master, how did you learn that the coffin of the second daughter was docked at the Linqing Wharf? The little girl did not report it to the young master?"

"Miss Xiong, it's all because of this spirit card." Our Master Zhang pointed to the spirit card in front of the coffin and choked, "Didn't the old lady's name be clearly written on it? Today, the young man accidentally saw the old lady's spiritual position at the dock, and became suspicious. He was afraid that he would recognize the wrong person, so he asked the servants to inquire and then he realized that the coffin was pretending to be my great benefactor!" As he said that, our Master Zhang covered his face and burst into tears.

"Our eldest young master is really less and less drafting - he doesn't even know his own name, but he has the face to say that he knows the words on the spirit card?" Zhang Shitou muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any trace of it on his face. He just choked up and lied for the eldest young master Zhang, "Miss, it's a villain who took the liberty to inquire about your origin from the boatman, and then reported to the young master. If the lady doesn't believe it, please ask the boatman for confrontation."

The beautiful tiger turned his eyes to the owner who was squatting at the stern of the boat to repair the ship. The owner nodded and admitted that there was indeed such a thing. The beautiful tiger then felt relieved and began to look at Master Zhang carefully. But I have to admit that our Master Zhang is not bad in appearance, with beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, slender figure and gentle manners, which basically makes the ignorant girl feel good and safe. At the same time, the beautiful tiger also noticed the ritual in the sacrificial plaque, which was a total of fifty taels of silver. This can be said to be a timely rain for the tiger who was short of money in the family. Therefore, the beautiful tiger immediately increased his favor and was extremely grateful to our Master Zhang, and he believed in the words of Master Zhang.

"Young Master Zhang, it is rare that you remember your old love and come to pay tribute to your daughter's second daughter who died unfortunately. I thank you here." After full trust, the beautiful tigress rarely showed a shy expression. He first told our Master Zhang a deep blessing, and then refused, "But the fifty taels of silver is too heavy, and the little girl really dare not accept it, so I hope the young master will take it back."

"Miss, we don't even have the money to buy dry food ashore." Xiu'er, the maid next to him, was anxious and reminded him quickly. The beautiful tigress glared at the maid, and his pretty face turned red. The eldest son Zhang observed his expression and rushed to say, "Miss Xiong, a mere gift, I don't respect me, so I'll ask the young lady to accept it. The young man dared not delay the lady's itinerary, so he said goodbye." After that, our eldest son Zhang kowtowed three times to the coffin, and then took Zhang Shitou off the boat and left.

"Mr. Zhang, please go slowly." The beautiful tiger has a deep affection for our Master Zhang. Master Zhang has sent a lot of rituals, but he didn't even ask her name. His gentlemanly demeanor inevitably made the beautiful tiger feel sad, and he also secretly regretted it. The maid Xiu'er over there couldn't wait to pick up the ingots and said happily to the Tiger: "Miss, this time you can finally stop using it as jewelry to exchange for money. That Mr. Zhang is really a great person who is grateful."

The beautiful tigress nodded and added: "He is still a well-educated and humble gentleman."

Before he finished speaking, the beautiful tigress's feet suddenly slipped, and his body couldn't help but lean on the cabin. At the same time, the owner of the ship who was squatting at the stern of the boat repaired the ship shouted, "No, the bottom of the ship is broken!" Master Zhang, who had already walked away, turned around and shouted in surprise: "Miss Xiong, please get off the boat quickly! Zhang Shitou, please ask someone to invite the old lady's coffin to the shore. Never touch the river!"

Fortunately, there is usually nothing on the canal dock, but there is no shortage of boatmen, porters and loaders. After Zhang Shitou, the loyal servant of Master Zhang, threw out a large handful of copper coins, he immediately rushed up dozens of boatmen loaders and unloaders. He lifted the small boat whose bow had already fallen into the water. The coffin on the boat was also lifted to the shore and did not fall into the river as the ship tilted. Seeing this, the beautiful tigress who was almost scared to faint was completely relieved. He didn't bother thanking our Master Zhang, and immediately shouted at the boatman: "What kind of broken boat are you? I almost sank my second mother's coffin into the water. What do you think you should do?"

"Yes, yes, return our orders and have to accompany us to lose money." Xiu'er, the equally pretty maid, also shouted loudly, a little bit like the majesty of her Tiger Miss. Our Master Zhang here was unhappy and turned around and shouted, "Miss Xiong, and this girl, is it time to care about money now? The old lady's coffin is important. Please take a closer look at whether the coffin is damaged or touched the river?"

Our Master Zhang's reprimand was righteous and full of righteousness. The beautiful tigress and the beautiful maid both turned red. He quickly let the boat house over to check the coffin. Fortunately, the coffin did not even have half a drop of water, nor was it damaged. At this time, the boat house also came over and explained with a sad face: "Young master, Miss, I'm really sorry, the villain's boat has been disrepair and often seeped water. Just now, the villain wanted to nail a wooden board to block the seepage area, but he didn't expect the hammer to hit too hard, and he knocked a big hole in one go..."

"Forget it, forget it, if you make mistakes, horses will lose their hoofs, no wonder you. Fortunately, the old lady's coffin did not touch the water, otherwise I would never spare you." Our Master Zhang waved his hand and let the boatman go and held the boatman accountable. Seeing that Master Zhang said this, the beautiful tigress was embarrassed to continue pursuing it, so he asked the boatman: "Can your boat be repaired? When can it be repaired? If it is not repaired, we will have to change the boat."

"It can be repaired, of course it can be repaired." The ship's owner seemed to be afraid of being asked to withdraw the ship silver, so he quickly replied: "The villain's son has already gone to buy the materials. After a while, he will repair it immediately. However, he is afraid that it will not be repaired today, and at least he has to repair it until tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning, where will we stay tonight? Will Erniang's coffin stay open overnight?" The beautiful tigress was a little worried - although she no longer lacked the money for staying in the store, ordinary inns would not let the coffin enter the store. The maid Xiu'er interrupted and said, "Miss, let's change a boat. This boat is broken like this and cannot be seated at all."

"Miss Xiong, please interrupt Xiaosheng, it is unlucky to change the coffin to the boat." Our Master Zhang kindly reminded: "In order not to disturb the old lady's spirit in heaven, according to Xiaosheng's opinion, the lady would stay in Linqing for one night and wait for the boat to be repaired before leaving. Besides, it is not that easy to find a ship to transport the coffin at the moment."

Mr. Zhang's words make sense. People these days have always been superstitious. They feel bad about pulling empty coffins, let alone containing dead coffins - so the beautiful tigress paid a high price in Zhenjiang to hire such an old and broken boat that was almost broken. Of course, the beautiful tigress also knew this principle, and couldn't help but feel even more worried, saying: "What should I do? I don't know if the inn here allows the coffin to enter the store?"

"Miss Xiong, don't be anxious." Our Master Zhang said this, immediately put on an ancient and warm-hearted look, patted his chest and said, "Xiaosheng has many houses in Linqing City. Xiaosheng asked someone to go out to open an empty yard and let the old lady's coffin go in for the night. Miss Xiong and this girl can also live there for a rest overnight." - When our Master Zhang said this, Ma Jun and Wu Ershao, who were hiding in the crowd to watch the fun, suddenly realized it, and they all screamed in their hearts, "Fuck, I will definitely lose the fifty taels of silver today! After entering the Dog Young Master's house, does this beautiful tigress still want to come out with purity?"

"This... isn't it suitable?" The beautiful tigress was a little moved, and blushed and politely refused. Our Master Zhang's expression was extremely serious and said loudly: "Miss Xiong, you must not say such things. The old lady treats me Zhang as good as a mountain. Don't say that her coffin is spent overnight at Xiaosheng's house, and it's even more so that it's okay to be buried in the Zhang family's ancestral grave? What's more, Xiaosheng also wants to take this opportunity to ask some monks and Taoists to recite scriptures for the old lady to repay the old lady's kindness."
