During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhang Qingshu in Zhejiang. He was in his twenties and had not yet married. This year was the year of the competition, and Zhang Qingshu embarked on the road to Beijing to take the exam a few months in advance.

Zhang Qingshu's father was a businessperson, and his family was wealthy, so he didn't have to worry about food and drink. When he left home, in order not to let his son suffer, his father prepared a lot of entanglement and softness for him, and said: "The poor family is rich, not to mention the family is not poor, such a long distance, don't be wronged.

Along the way, Zhang Qingshu had a carefree and happy life. One evening more than ten days later, he stayed at an inn in a remote town, thinking of resting for two days and continuing to set out.

It was a small inn on the second floor. There were not many rooms, and there were not many guests staying. In order to be clean, Zhang Qingshu chose a guest room on the first floor.

After putting down his luggage and washing up, Zhang Qingshu came to the lobby to eat. While eating, he accidentally looked up and saw a woman walking down the second floor. She was beautiful and beautiful, and she was wearing gorgeous clothes.

When he returned to his room after dinner, the woman's figure kept appearing in his mind. In order to see her a few more times, Zhang Qingshu stayed at this inn.

From then on, he could see the woman two or three times a day, and he became slightly familiar with her. Although the two had never spoken, they would nod at each other when they met, and the woman looked at him with a very shy look, which made Zhang Qingshu even more fascinated.

Seven days later, Zhang Qingshu asked waiter of the inn about the woman's identity.

The waiter sighed and told him, "This girl is not from our store. She has been here for two years, but she has not given the inn a penny."

Zhang Qingshu was a little puzzled and asked, "Then why did you let her eat and live here for free?

The waiter leaned against his ear and whispered, "Guest officer, you are right, this woman is really not a mortal!"

Zhang Qingshu said, "Could it be that she is immortal?"

Two years ago, someone who looked like a general brought her to the inn and said that this woman was his concubine and that we should take good care of her. After he came back, the money for the house and meals would be settled together.

He thought something must have happened to that general. Otherwise, could he leave such a beautiful girl behind? Since this girl was not from this inn, and now she was alone, wouldn't her chance come?

Zhang Qingshu pretended to be a little regretful, shook his head and said to the waiter, "It's so pitiful that a girl has no relatives in this unfamiliar place!

The clerk said, "The guest officer is really a kind person. I immediately ordered the kitchen to do it."

Shortly after the food and drinks were ready and delivered to the woman's room, the waiter went to Zhang Qingshu's guest room to find him: "Young Master, that girl wants to invite you to have a few drinks together. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

This was what Zhang Qingshu was waiting for. The waiter's words were right in his heart, and he couldn't ask for them. He pretended to be a little reluctant and said, "It's a little bad to drink together alone, isn't it?"

The clerk said, "Then I rejected this girl and said you went out?"

"Don't, don't, don't, she's a girl who's not afraid to gossip, what am I afraid of? I'll go now" Zhang Qingshu said hurriedly.

At that time, the night had already fallen, and Zhang Qingshu came to the woman's room. After a few glasses of wine, the relationship between the two heated up sharply. From toasting each other to holding hands, Zhang Qingshu only felt that something good was coming tonight!

After drinking until the second watch, Zhang Qingshu did not say leave, and the woman did not drive him away. After a while, the woman blushed and said to him, "Young Master, stay here tonight!"

Zhang Qingshu was eager, he couldn't wait to nod and say yes.

The two slept together on the same pillow, and as they were about to linger, there was a sudden loud knock on the door outside, and someone said, "Wife, get up quickly, the general has sent me to pick you up!"

Hearing this, the woman panicked and said to Zhang Qingshu, "It's broken, they're here to pick me up!"

Zhang Qingshu was even more frightened. Not to mention that she was the concubine of the general, but she was caught by the girl of the ordinary people's family, and she was not beaten to death?

Zhang Qingshu put on a few clothes indiscriminately. At this time, the door of the room had been smashed open, and only a burly man broke in with two people wearing "pawn" clothes.

The woman hurried to stop the man, and Zhang Qingshu escaped while taking advantage of the chaos. He didn't have time to get the salute, so he fled in embarrassment while taking advantage of the night.

After Zhang Qingshu left, these people began to laugh. They came to Zhang Qingshu's room, found a bag containing property, and opened it. There was really a lot of money in it!

It turned out that the woman, the big man, and the clerk were all in the same gang.
