After picking out the jewelry, Xiaoyu asked Yang Baochen: "Do you have any engaged daughters-in-law, sisters, I'll help you pick two." Yang Baochen's face turned red, and he waved his hand vigorously: "I only have a girl, and I am not in front of me." ”

Xiaoyu looked at his flushed face and asked curiously, "Is it my sister?" ”

Yang Baochen nodded hurriedly: "It's my sister." It's a sister-in-law. ”

Xiaoyu thought to herself, your own sister-in-law, what are you blushing for?

Since Yang Baochen didn't want it, Xiaoyu didn't push it, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap a few boxes into two big bags, and called Yang Baochen over: "You bring these two burdens back, if the fifth brother is here, give it to the fifth brother, and if the fifth brother is not there, give it to the second sister-in-law." ”

"Hey, come back, don't be reckless and knock on your second sister-in-law's door and let the guy call, you know. I thought in my heart: "I don't know what the second sister-in-law is busy with, whether Rulan is making trouble with her." ”

"I can save this, don't worry. Yang Baochen was grateful and hurriedly agreed, he didn't expect that shopping could be such a hard job. I thought about the status of master and apprentice, and I always had to behave in front of me. I didn't expect to be outside for an hour or two. Yang Baochen glanced at the second brother with great sympathy, thinking that I will drink a pot of tea and rest first when I go back this time, and then come to you slowly.

The second brother hugged his arms and looked at the sky obliquely, pretending not to see it.

Sure enough, Xiaoyu said in particular: "You put your things and come back quickly." I told my mother, let's go to the teahouse on West Street to listen to the book first. When the time comes, I'll order you something to eat, you must be hungry after following us for a long time, let's eat snacks while listening to the book, if you come back late, the things will not taste good when they are cold. ”

Yang Baochen's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he looked at Xiaoyu in surprise. Xiaoyu tiptoed, patted him on the shoulder, and said very well: "Go and come back quickly." After listening to the story, my mother will take us to the silk shop to have a look. ”

When Yang Baochen heard this, he immediately felt that his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't move anymore. I had to pitifully carry a burden in one hand and walk back dejectedly. Xiaoyu clapped her hands with satisfaction, looked at the second brother and said, "This person's ability is not bad, even if he goes on the road alone, it is not a particularly difficult thing." ”

Saying that, he learned from the fifth brother again, and scratched his head: "Alas, it will never be wrong to be careful to travel a 10,000-year-old ship." ”

The second brother looked at her and shook his head: "You little girl is not big, and your suspicion is quite serious." Then he stroked her head and said, "Even if it is your second brother, I don't dare to hold it up like this, and I dare to go on the road alone in this chaos." Haven't you heard that suspicious people don't need to be used, and you don't suspect them?"

Xiaoyu touched the tip of her nose and smiled: "It's quite easy for you to say, so what are you chasing out for." ”

The second brother is suffocated!

When Yang Baochen returned to the store, he saw the fifth brother, Xingji, and they came back with something. hurriedly handed over the two burdens to them, and didn't dare to stay longer, so he drank two sips of tea and ran to West Street again. The starling heard that there was a storyteller in the teahouse, and it took the fifth brother a long time before the fifth brother let him out.

When I arrived at the teahouse on West Street, I saw that not only Xiao Xia and them, but also Tang Luanyi and Sun Haoran were all gathered here and waited to hear the story. The teahouse of Nuoda is full of people coming and going, all kinds of shouting and selling, and calling friends to talk to each other.

Xiaoyu beckoned to Yang Baochen from afar: "Come and try this small bowl of steamed vegetables, I asked you for a bowl, you ran quite fast, just came up, and it was a little hot." “

Xiaoyu said and took two small empty bowls, one bowl filled a spoonful, and the rest was divided into two portions and pushed to Yang Baochen and the second brother. Yang Baochen couldn't help but worry, thinking that he was going to starve if he ate so delicately. Thinking like this, I couldn't help but go to see the second brother, who had already eaten his share in two bites. Yang Baochen hurriedly lowered his head and picked it twice, but before he even took a third shot, the steamed vegetables in the bowl were eaten up. The stomach was still empty, so I had to comfort myself that what Xiaoyu gave himself was still a big share.

Xiao Xia's wife followed Xia Xiucai and only tasted a noodle soup called cat ears, and ordered a few ordinary side dishes, and Xiaoyu ate everything on the side.

Next to him, Xiao Er said to Sun Haoran: "The guest officer doesn't know, this storyteller is so interesting, in the past, our teahouse only sold tea and snacks, but now there is nothing that is not sold even with food and wine." It's on this street, as long as you say the famous delicious food, if you want it, you can sit here, and our guys will bring it to you, and make sure that your mouth will be hot when you bring it. “

When he turned his head and saw Xiaoyu, he immediately smiled on his face: "This son, you see that you know how to eat." He turned to look at Sun Haoran again: "Look at the steamed vegetables he just ordered, they are still hot at this moment." “

Xiaoyu tasted a spoonful of vegetables he had scooped, and when he heard this, he arched his hand towards Sun Haoran: "Brother Sun." ”

Sun Haoran hurriedly returned the salute, Xiao Er

only then did he know that they knew, so he stopped nagging and walked to the back singing the name of the dish.

Xiaoyu said to Yang Baochen: "This steamed dish is really delicious." This is a wild vegetable that has just been picked this year, and it is steamed in good condition. Yang Baochen had already entered his stomach, and he was embarrassed to think about whether to let Xiaoyu ask for another big bowl.

Just hesitating, Xiao Er brought in another steamed bowl cake, pulled out the fish, and then the dish was served like water. Yang Baochen looked at the big plate and small bowl in front of him, and thought to himself that it was good to have a master, and he thought about you when he was cold and hungry. You don't need to be humble, you eat slowly bowl by bowl. The second brother ate much faster at this time, and Yang Baochen found that there was no shortage of dishes in front of him, and he had just finished eating the same and added another one.

Yang Baochen thought about the amount of food he ate, and was a little scared when he looked at this large table of snacks and snacks.

At this time, I listened to the small drum behind the screen, and the drum sounded twice. Everyone immediately fell silent, and two men came up to help remove the screen, revealing a small square table behind it, with a chair on each side of the square table, and on the right chair sat an old man with a gray beard.

The storyteller held a small bamboo stick in one hand and pinched a pair of pear blossom wood chips in the other.

first said four sentences of the final poem, and then got to the point: "In the last book, let's talk about the monkey spirit, with good magical powers, take a look at it with fiery eyes, and the beautiful young woman who has become a bunch of white bones has appeared in its original form." The spirit protected the master behind him and shouted, "Master, be careful", and as he spoke, he slapped the young woman to death with a stick in his hand. The white bone spirit is also clever, and when he saw the fierce light in his eyes, he knew that something was wrong, and flew away with a swish. ”

The storyteller's voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't make people uncomfortable to listen to. The demeanor and expression are even more vivid, but even Xiao Xia Pozi and Xia Xiucai can listen to it fascinated by the words. Xiao Xia Pozi tilted her head and said to Xia Xiucai: "I only said this in the south, but I didn't expect that the north was similar." ”

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the old man grew tired of speaking. He stopped and said: "Little Lao'er, thank you for coming to the venue today, it's not too early, let's talk about it tomorrow." As he spoke, he knocked the pear blossom wood a few more times, and then a man came up and blocked the table with a screen to make it easier for him to get off the field.

Xiao Xia took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I have eaten this meal, I have drunk the tea, and I have listened to the book, should you do whatever you should do?"

Where did Xiaoyu hear enough, he was still there looking at the stage with his neck stretched, and when he saw Xiao Er coming to pack his things, he hurriedly said, "Little Second Brother, will this old man come again at night?"

Xiao Er smiled proudly: "Old Man Shi is old and not in good health, so he only talks about this one scene a day." ”

Xiaoyu sighed in disappointment, and was about to call Yang Baochen to go with him, but when he saw that he was still eating there, he couldn't help complaining: "It's just such a thing, why haven't you finished eating yet." ”

Xiaoyu is the same, but he often takes two bites, and the rest is given to Yang Baochen. Yang Baochen was about to vomit after eating, and couldn't help but look at Xiaoyu blankly when he heard the words, and had the heart to argue with Xiaoyu, there were still two pieces of rabbit meat in his mouth, and he didn't swallow half of the croquettes, so he simply lowered his head and continued to eat hard.

Xiaoyu looked at Yang Baochen, who was full of beard and two cheeks and bulging cheeks, and secretly shook his head, thinking that this apprentice was really too naïve.

Out of West Street, Xiaoyu and a few went to the East Market, where there was the best silk shop in the city. Fortunately, there are deliveries in the silk and satin Zhuangzi, and Yang Baochen is happy not to have to run errands. After watching it for a long time, there was nothing to like, and finally I cut a small piece enough to make a summer dress for the old Xia woman.

Mrs. Xiao Xia said to Xiao Yu: "Actually, these are excellent for your sisters-in-law, and your nieces make clothes." It's just that I don't take the carriage when I go back, these things are too big to have a place to put them. ”

Xiaoyu couldn't help but worry when she heard this: "Mother, why didn't you say it earlier." Let's not go around here, you leave early, take the carriage and hurry up to catch up. ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia smiled: "The dry food along the way, I always have to buy some here and take it with me on the road." You think I'm like you all day long knowing how to play around. ”

Only then did Xiaoyu relax and grin, and Mrs. Xiao Xia clapped her hands and said, "Okay, I'm tired of your father, you can play with Sister Zhong for a while and go back." Then he said to the second brother, "Just have your father accompany me back." After that, he walked back with Xia Xiucai, one after the other.

Xiaoyu looked at their backs and panicked for no reason.

The second brother patted her on the head: "Aren't you going to buy a comb? ”

"I know, I have bought a bracelet for my second sister-in-law before. Xiaoyu shook her head and muttered, "Don't pat me on the head again." ”

That distressed look made Yang Baochen want to slap her twice from behind.

The combs sold in the bazaar were a piece of white cloth, on which were placed a few combs and a few flowers. Xiaoyu squatted on the ground and picked slowly, the second brother walked back and forth, Yang Baochen sat in the teahouse and rested for a while.
