The little woman in the west of the city has been walking around the streets lately.

This shouldn't have been a topic of conversation among the neighbors after dinner, but this woman is a little widow who has newly lost her husband.

The little widow's husband had been mourned for more than a month, so she couldn't bear the loneliness, took off her plain white linen clothes, and changed into a light blue brocade dress that had only become popular in the market recently, and covered it with tulle. Changed the posture of not going out of the door in the past, and when I was free, I went to the pawnshop at the corner of the street, and I didn't buy anything, but I just dragged the sleeve of the guy and asked if there was something, and the woman who passed by thought she didn't look like a widow, so she covered her mouth and nose after a long time, not to mention pawning in the store, and it was fortunate not to take a sip at the door of the store. The pawnshop's business plummeted, but whenever the man was impatient, he saw that there was an indescribable sorrow between the eyebrows and eyes of this pretty branch, and he couldn't say anything about driving people away. In addition, although this pretty branch doesn't pawn things these days, it always reveals that he wants to sell his husband's private wealth in exchange for a sum of silver, and he always speaks softly, so that the young man who has been bargaining for a long time has a feeling like a spring breeze, so he simply gritted his teeth and waited for this pretty branch as a potential customer.

But this pretty branch came for a few days in a row, and after earning enough talking money on the streets, he didn't go out again. As if she had just remembered the duty of a widow, she stood in her yard with a plain face to sort out the grain, took off her brocade clothes, wore a plain dress, and walked with wide sleeves with the wind, as if a fairy had descended to earth, and for a time the man stopped, and the woman insulted.

On this day, Qiaozhi went out with a burden and a hat. The sun was shining, and by the time she got to the pawn shop, she was already sweating. The pawnshop guy was overjoyed when he saw her coming with a burden, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "The girl has not come for a few days, but what is wrong with the family?" ”

Qiaozhi smiled softly, knowing that this was just a guy coming to talk, so she directly showed the package to him: "This object was left to me by my husband before he passed away, please take a look"

The guy looked out and found that it was a good pine stone inkstone, which was cold to the end, although it looked like an old object but it was well preserved, and it was carefully cared for by the owner on weekdays. He touched the inkstone and looked at Qiaozhi's indifferent eyebrows, "This is indeed a good object..."Before the words fell, he saw Qiaozhi raise his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, "I don't know if the girl plans to die or live?" If you die, I can make the decision for the boss, and give you fifty percent of the silver" said, he compared it to seven, "Seventy taels of silver, if you die, I will give you one hundred taels"

The guy saw that Qiaozhi didn't speak all the time, thinking that she was stupid because of such a large amount of money. After all, in the realm of Yanling, twenty taels of silver can be used for a family's expenses for a year, and she is a woman's family, and after her husband, it is like pulling a bone, and it is normal to hesitate.

At this time, Qiaozhi was indeed scared silly, she didn't expect that such an inkstone could be sold for a high price of 100 taels. Clearly... She took off the hat and held it firmly in her hand: "You don't need to die, please make it live." There will be a chance in the future... I'll redeem it back."

When the man saw that she had made up his mind, he didn't persuade her again. After receiving the inkstone, he shouted and took the silver, and hurriedly went around to the counter to write the ticket. He handed the written voucher and seventy taels of silver to Qiaozhi, and said, "I will give you three years for the girl, and in the future, you will have plenty of money, just bring eighty cash to me to redeem it." But if the three-year period has passed, this work will become a dead pawn, and the thirty taels of silver will not be made up to you" Qiaozhi nodded and bowed softly to the man, put on the hat, and went out.

The guy saw the back of Qiaozhi getting farther and farther away, and finally sighed and shook his head, this Qiaozhi has no husband, how did he earn money, Zuo just can't bear to change hands. It's a pity that this one couldn't bear to lose thirty taels! I don't know if this little woman will regret it in the future.

Pretty branches go home. Carefully lock the door, untie the hat and throw it on the ground. The gossip of the little-footed woman outside the house was not real because of the wooden door, and Pretty Eda finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about the bits and pieces of her coming into this world.
