Tofu Xishi: General Mo ran

Chapter 71 The Story of the Gifted Scholar and the Beautiful Lady ([-])

The weather is getting colder and the New Year is approaching. On the streets of Yifeng County, there are more and more people coming and going to buy New Year's goods.

A large part of these folks who buy new year's goods are from surrounding villages.In order to buy some new year's goods, I often come to the county and city streets early in the morning. When I go back in the afternoon, I feel tired, so I want to find a place to drink hot tea and soup, and rest for a while , and then back on the road.

At this time, Decui Building was originally located in the lobby on the first floor, and half of it was cut out, and it was used as a tea house for people to rest, and it gradually became popular.

With people drinking tea and resting their feet, those wandering entertainers would also come here from time to time, borrowing Miao Douer's platform, or singing a little song and beating a drum, or holding a fan and speaking a passage.

With these wandering entertainers, Decui Building became lively.Miao Douer also doesn't accept money from these itinerant entertainers, if they are willing to perform on that stage, Miao Douer just lets them get their own money, Miao Douer doesn't take any money.

This day, as soon as Miao Douer opened the store, a storyteller who was wearing a robe and looked clean came to the door.

"Miss Boss, has anyone on your stage made an appointment to perform in the past two days?"

Miao Douer still greeted people with a smile on her face: "It's just a coincidence, the two girls who sang flower drums in the past two days just happened to go back to their hometown for the New Year, so now this table is empty, you are..."

With a smile on his face, the man bowed to Miao Douer: "I am a storyteller, since there is no one performing on the stage of your teahouse, can you lend me this stage for two days?"

"Of course no problem, please do yourself, sir."

The storyteller cheerfully ordered a relatively good pot of tea, and then walked to the table.

Gradually, there were more people in the half hall of the teahouse.Seeing that the number of people was almost the same, the storyteller raised the teapot and took a sip, closed his fan, looked around with a smile in his eyes, and opened his mouth.

"It is said that the Beijing Examination in Longqing's 16th year produced a lot of talents. Our magistrate of Jiangyan Prefecture was No. 3 on the red list of the Beijing Examination that year-Tan Hualang! Everyone knows that our magistrate is clean and honest. A good official who is upright, close to the people, builds dams, and punishes corrupt officials. In our Jiangyan mansion, he can be regarded as the master of Qingtian for nearly 20 years, and our good parent official. As everyone knows, this 20 years ago, our magistrate prefect was just a poor scholar who was in the middle of nowhere and almost couldn't afford the money to go to Beijing to catch the exam?"

These words were clear and pleasing to the ear, and the words were neither hasty nor impatient, but they attracted the eyes of everyone in the teahouse.

Seeing that the storyteller had attracted everyone's attention, he tapped the fan in his hand and continued.

"Today, the little old man will tell everyone about a touching story about a gifted man and a beautiful woman 20 years ago by the prefect of Jiangyan Prefecture."

At this time, Miao Douer, who was doing abacus in the high cabinet in the hall, listened to this ear.

What about the magistrate?

Then she has to listen!
Miao Douer ordered Xiao Jiaozi to take care of the cupboard, then she quietly walked to a part of the tea drinking hall, sat down in an inconspicuous corner, and listened carefully to the storyteller with her eyes wide open.

The storyteller noticed Miao Douer's arrival from the corner of his eye, so he was sure and was ready to start talking about the book seriously.

Alas, in one night, he had to organize a lot of things that the mysterious adult gave him into storytelling, and he had to come to Decuilou to talk to the proprietress in a disguised form...

But for the 100 taels of silver, even if the little old man said that for a hundred games, it was worth it!
