Yun Qingqiao had been in this era for over a year, and due to her young age, the elders in her maternal grandfather's house didn't allow her to venture out alone. On the rare occasions when she did leave the house, she was always accompanied by adults and could only sit in the carriage, straining her ears to listen to the outside world without boldly peering through the curtains.

This time was different. She'd persuaded her Seventh Brother and maternal grandfather to let her go out, even disguising herself as a young boy. At her grandfather's insistence, she was accompanied by seven or eight servants. Finally, she could walk through the ancient marketplace she'd only ever heard, bustling with life and voices.


Upon arriving, Yun Qingqiao realized that the term "bustling" could indeed describe these ancient streets. 


Chuzhou, located in the southern part of the Great Rui Dynasty, was a well-known and prosperous area. If this marketplace was so lively, she could only imagine how thriving the capital must be. Unfortunately, she couldn't return to the capital to visit her birth mother yet.


In this bustling marketplace, teeming with people and awash with the movement of horses and carriages, the presence of two children accompanied by so many servants certainly drew attention.


Fortunately, Ye Renyu instructed the servants to keep some distance from them, making it easier for him to accompany Yun Qingqiao as they freely explored the streets.


In her previous life, Yun Qingqiao had visited several historic cities and their antique streets, but none of those experiences were as awe-inspiring as this firsthand one.


Immersed in the bustling streets, she saw a captivating array of old-fashioned buildings. There were wine shops, pawnshops, jade stores, inns, fabric stores, grocery stores, ready-made clothing shops, and even gambling houses. The teahouses varied, ranging from storytelling venues to places where small tunes were sung. Some shops only sold tea leaves, and upscale teahouses were frequented by scholars who enjoyed reading and playing chess.


From large shops displaying various flags to attract business to street vendors hawking their wares, the atmosphere was lively.

The streets were bustling with people from all walks of life: merchants conducting business, tourists asking for directions, servants out for shopping, flamboyantly dressed solicitors, mounted officials, and affluent families in carriages or sedan chairs. There were also itinerant performers and fortune-tellers, making the area a melting pot of diverse professions.


Yun Qingqiao was exceptionally thrilled. True to her food-loving nature, she grabbed Seventh Brother Ye Renyu's hand and headed straight for the snack street.


The snack street was an array of food stalls, each set up right next to the other, offering an overwhelming variety of treats. Candied haws, fried dough rings, crispy twists, steamed dumplings, rice cakes, flower-shaped cakes, date palm leaf wraps, steamed buns, sweet pea pastries, glutinous rice cakes, chestnut cakes, and ice bowls were among the offerings. The sight alone was enough to make Yun Qingqiao salivate.

Having just filled her stomach with steamed dumplings, she excitedly dragged Ye Renyu along to buy two skewers of candied haws before rushing toward the area where the crowd seemed most dense.


"Sis—no, I mean, brother, slow down! You've eaten so much, don't run so fast!" Ye Renyu nearly forgot their prior agreement to refer to her as his "brother" in his haste.


"Seventh Brother, hurry up! With all those people up ahead, something exciting must be going on. Let's go check it out!" Yun Qingqiao said as she continued running, simultaneously taking a bite from one of the candied haws.


With the help of their attendants, they managed to clear a path through the crowd and saw people surrounding a young girl lying injured and barely conscious on the street. She appeared slightly older than Yun Qingqiao but looked frail, likely due to long-term malnutrition.


"Seventh Brother, she looks so pitiful!" Yun Qingqiao, still carrying the compassionate instincts of a healer despite being in this unfamiliar ancient world, gently tugged at her brother's sleeve, hoping he would assist the ailing girl.
