"Sir, ma'am, young lady is sick. ”

Facing Yin's father and mother sitting on the main seat in the main hall, the maid Chunhua bowed down to report.

"What? Mantang Jiao is sick? Isn't this still fine yesterday?" Yin Mu was startled, and immediately stood up and said.

Father Yin, who was wearing a small hat in green clothes, also stood up at this moment, frowned, waved his hand and said, "Mantang Jiao is my only daughter of the Yin family, let's go and see how the baby daughter is." ”

With a hint of worry on her face, Yin's mother hurriedly called: "Chunhua, hurry up and lead the way." ”

Walking all the way, stepping into his daughter's boudoir, Yin's father and Yin's mother hurriedly came to their daughter's bed, constantly shushing the cold and asking for warmth, Yin's mother was distressed and asked: "Daughter, where are you uncomfortable? Hurry up and tell your mother." ”

Yin Wenjiao was already helped up by the maid Chunhua at this moment, half lying on the bed, coughing constantly, and replied: "My daughter is just cold at night, and occasionally feels cold, it doesn't matter if I think it's not a big deal, just take some medicine, don't worry about my father, cough cough." ”

As he spoke, Lang Zhong, who had white hair and white beard invited by Yin's house, had come to Wen Jiao's bed with a medicine box on his back, looking, smelling, asking, and cutting as usual, and did not diagnose a special condition, only saying that he was weak, infected with wind and cold, and his heart was empty.

Two days later, the medicinal power took effect, coupled with the careful care of the personal maid Chunhua, Mantangjiao has basically recovered, but her face is still slightly emaciated, and her face is still rare and haggard.

The maid Chunhua and Wen Jiao have always been close to themselves, and when they saw this, they couldn't bear it, and persuaded them: "Miss, you have just recovered from this illness, and it is not good to stay in the house for a long time, so it is better to go outside for a walk." ”

Yin Wenjiao thought for a while, and then said, "Well, it's okay." I've been depressed in this house for a long time, and it's good to scatter my mind, so let's go after I tell my father and mother. ”

When she came to the front of the hall, Wen Jiao gave a salute to Yin's father and Yin's mother, and said: "Father, mother, my daughter's illness is also cured, and she is a little depressed in that room, and she wants to go out for a walk." ”

Yin's father and Yin's mother looked at Wen Jiao, with a loving face, seeing that although her daughter was a little haggard, her complexion was ruddy, and her demeanor was determined, as if she had recovered, she glanced at each other, Yin's mother said: "It's okay, since my daughter wants to go out to relax, then let Qiuyue follow, so that I can take care of it, and I can rest assured." ”

Father Yin nodded, glanced at Qiuyue, the maid beside Yin's mother, and then at the spring flower beside his daughter, and said, "You two, take good care of your young lady, don't make a mistake!"

"Yes, sir!" Chunhua and Qiuyue bowed in response.

Out of the gate of Yin's mansion, Yin Wenjiao took a soft sedan chair carried by four people, and Chunhua and Qiuyue walked on both sides of the sedan chair and walked all the way along East Street.

The maid Chunhua approached the sedan curtain and whispered to Miss Wen Jiao: "Miss, today is the day of the South Street Market, and it is quite lively with people coming and going, so it is better to go to the South Street Market to take a stroll and see what good things have happened recently." ”

"Well, it's up to you. Miss Yin replied with a smile in the sedan chair.

So the maid Chunhua instructed the sedan chair man to go to South Street, and after a while, he arrived at the South Street Market.

South Street is located in the vicinity of the Suzaku Gate of the capital, the tall city gate tower is still faintly visible, the shops on both sides of the South Street Street are lined up, the wine shop erects flags to wade in the wind, the road is full of traffic, bustling, the flow of people is like weaving, there is a penetrating shouting of the hawkers along the street from time to time, occasionally there is a long roar of horses, the pavilions on both sides are lined up one after another, there are tea shops, wine shops, inns, rice shops, cloth shops, butcher shops, pawns, temples and so on.

There are many daily necessities such as silk and satin, jewelry and spices, incense paper horses, etc., as well as medical halls and pharmacies, cart repairs, fortune telling, haircuts and facelifts, music performances, etc., all walks of life, all kinds of people, men and women, old and young, Shinong, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams, all converge in this South Street Market.

Yin Wenjiao put a veil on her face, opened the sedan curtain, watched the market scene of the street from time to time, and smiled from time to time.

"Miss, look at it, it's a good-looking dough kneader. When I arrived at a noodle kneader's stall, the maid Chunhua couldn't help shouting, Miss Wen Jiao opened the sedan curtain when she heard the sound, and saw a noodle kneader's stall with bright colors, Smart and vivid face people, a group of chirping children around the side of the stall, the children formed a circle, rushing to rotate a bamboo arrow, the face was full of expectation, the bamboo arrow stopped and pointed to a certain face person, then the bamboo arrow pointed at the face of the person can be taken away immediately, the bamboo arrow to the dragon is the dragon, pointing to the phoenix to take the phoenix, for a time the noise is endless.

Miss Wen Jiao then ordered to stop the sedan chair, walked out of the sedan chair, and came to the front of the noodle kneading stall, only to see that the benevolent noodle kneading master was skillfully kneading all kinds of animals, flowers, birds, insects, fish and character shapes, and the dough in his hand turned into a vivid figure or animal image in three or two clicks, which was quite magical.

Chunhua likes to be lively, and the image of the person who meets is colorful, vivid and lively, and she is very happy, so she pulls up a person who stepped on the hot wheels on the table: "Well, this is the third prince Nezha in the sea." ”

pulled up the face man again: "This is Yang Jian, the Erlang God who opened the eyes of the sky, and the Baolian lamp." ”

picked up a group of noodle people again, but it was "three monks without water to eat", the three monks had different shapes, surrounded by two buckets, and the shape was cute and cute.

Seeing that Chunhua was quite interested, Miss Wen Jiao was just smiling slightly. "This girl, this noodle is very festive at home, it only costs ten cents, the little old man sees that you like it, how about pinching one for you?"

"Okay, okay!" Chunhua clapped her hands in response. Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Chunhua said mischievously: "Then pinch me a Monkey King who makes a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, I like Monkey King the most." ”

"Alright, girl, wait. The old man who kneaded the dough responded, and immediately broke off a few balls of dough of different colors with his hands, and kept kneading and pulling in his hands, splicing and combining, and soon turned a piece of dough into a well-known and well-known figure:

Wearing a yellow monk's hat, a yellow shirt and a flower apron, holding a dark red black iron, a stick with two golden hoops, a fluffy monkey face, fiery eyes, and a pergola in his hand are looking into the distance, the face is vivid, the demeanor is lifelike, and he is the reincarnation of the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago!

Chunhua was overjoyed to see it, handed over the money, took the noodle man Sun Wukong, and left all the way.

When she got on the sedan chair and left, Yin Wenjiao suddenly thought: A few days ago, when she was recuperating a few days ago, she used calligraphy and painting for pleasure, and it was quite expensive to use paper.

So he ordered to go to a place on South Street that specializes in the four treasures of the study, the sedan chair man fell off the sedan chair, Yin Wenjiao stepped down the sedan chair, and instructed the sedan chair man to wait here and not go far.

Take Chunhua and Qiuyue two maids to pick up rice paper one by one, and also look at some good calligraphy and painting, when walking out of a calligraphy and painting shop, suddenly heard a noise in the distance, follow the reputation, see a word stall in the distance, there is a scholar in a white shirt, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes are arguing with a person there, Chunhua is a person who likes to see the excitement, so he shook Miss Wen's small hand and said: "Miss, go, let's take a look." ”

Wen Jiao smiled helplessly, and walked to the word stall together according to Yan.
