The sky was dim, and under the dim residual sun, there were countless withered yellow leaves

At this time, it is the late autumn season, the fallen leaves are sprinkled, and the dusk is approaching, which is the most lively time in Pinxiao Building. In the dining room downstairs, every table was full of guests, and the guy who ran the hall, Xiao Sanzi, was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and even his voice was a little dumb, but there were still people in the more than 70 guest rooms upstairs.

Most of the visitors were well-known businessmen and nobles, and of course, there were also some elegant scholars and heroes with swords and swords, which made this usually sluggish place suddenly become lively.

Looking at the merchants and scribes who entered the door one after another, a man in front of the table in the northeast corner covered his face with a fan, and smiled at the other person in a low voice: "Brother, look at today's situation, I'm afraid this Kaifeng silver is not from us people, if you also want to taste the taste of this boss lady, I'm afraid it's better to come to shabu in two days." ”

The man next to him smiled wryly, pouted a mouthful of yellow teeth and said, "Brother, I came a long time ago, I thought that the thousands of taels of silver in my waist were also a number, but now it seems, hehe...... I want to play with a good girl, Nanammonia, a benevolent brother who calls himself an old brother, said with a long sigh, but although his hair is black, he has a wrinkled face, and his appearance is really haggard and old.

The two chatted with each other, and the words became more and more shameless, and a scholar next to him, who was dressed very well, saw that the two were talking dirty, and couldn't help frowning in disgust, but he couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen here today, so he also leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Please ask the two brothers, Xiao Ke passed through Beijing to catch the exam." Occasionally, I stopped here, seeing that it was so lively, I really don't know why, can you tell you one or two? ”

The man who spoke first raised his eyes and looked at the scholar slightly, and then leaned over and whispered: "Don't hide it from my brother, you can catch up with the show today, this Pin Xiaolou proprietress is scheduled to sell Chusu today." Aren't we all here, who would have thought that the news would spread so quickly, and it was just released yesterday. Today, even Pang Huzi from Juxian Building is here, tsk...... It seems that we can also see the excitement. ”

The scholar listened to him. Just like the second monk who was confused, he raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Isn't the boss of this Pin Xiaolou the old man Qu, I heard that Jean has never married a wife in his life, and it is difficult to come late but ......" Speaking of this, several people around couldn't hold back their laughter, and the man who spoke patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I said brother, you are too lonely and unheard, it seems that you need to tell you carefully." ”

It turned out that the original old shopkeeper of this Pin Xiaolou was a shriveled old man over sixty years old, surnamed Qu. The name is unknown to no one about Lu Dao, only that he has never married a wife, and he has no relatives. Who would have thought that in March this year, a young woman suddenly came to Pinxiao Building, and no one knew her identity. I only knew that when she came here, she suddenly married this old man surnamed Qu, and on the day of the candle night in the cave room, the shopkeeper Qu suddenly died, and the cause of death was unknown. At that time, many people thought that this woman had murdered the old shopkeeper, but under careful investigation by the government, there was no evidence, so everyone speculated that it must be the old man's old age and decrepitness. married a beautiful lady again, although he was happy, but after all, he lost his spirit, and then he died. All these things are naturally empty talk in the market, but the woman's talent and national color are really true, but all men are moved when they see it, and they have galloped far and near in a few days. However, the strange thing is that no one knows her name and surname, and over time, everyone calls her the proprietress .

In the autumn of this year, Pinxiao suddenly said that the proprietress was going to sell the first night on September 18, and the reserve price was 1,000 taels of silver, and the highest price was obtained. It is only because since the rule of the great cause, the Sui law is very wide, and the husband and the dead do not need to abide by the system, and they can remarry, so many people from near and far have seen their beauty, so they came with a lot of money and prepared to ask for this lottery in front of everyone. …,
