Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

"Selling myself to bury my father only costs one or two ounces of silver. You're selling it a bit too expensive."

The man held a folding fan in his hand and frivolously lifted the kneeling girl's chin. He said with a frivolous look on his face, "My dear girl, I feel really sorry for you. I'll give you two taels of silver. From now on, you will follow me."

The girl looked around, but none of the onlookers offered any help. She bit her lip, her eyes revealing an incomparable determination as she said firmly, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Even if I die, I will never follow you!"

The man, with such a kind intention, became angry when he was rejected. He roared viciously: "Humph, you just want to sell yourself to bury your father? Look carefully, who else here is willing to buy you except me? It's so hot today, do you really want to watch your father's corpse stink? Be smart, get up and leave with me!" After that, he reached out to pull the girl.

The girl struggled hard, her face filled with fear and helplessness. She looked pitifully at the people around her and begged desperately, "Kind brothers and sisters, please save me, I really don't want to go with him..."

At this critical moment, a nimble figure descended from the sky and kicked the man far away.

"Didn't you hear her say she didn't want to go with you?" Xiaoyanzi landed on the ground and stood up, hands on her hips. She glared at the hateful man angrily and shouted, "I hate shameless people like you the most in my life. You only know how to bully weak women!"

Yongqi and his companions pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. He asked anxiously, "Xiaoyanzi, are you okay? What happened?"

Xiaoyanzi pointed at the man and shouted, "He's the one who wants to bully men and women. I'm going to teach him a lesson."

Just as she clenched her fist, the man angrily pointed at the written cloth on the ground and said, "She sold herself to bury her father. I saw no one wanted her, so I kindly gave her money to bury her father's body. Not only did she not appreciate it, but she even caused me to get beaten. I shouldn't have been so kind."

Xiaoyanzi saw the words on the ground and saw Yongqi nodding at her. She immediately realized that she had misunderstood. Scratching her head, she said embarrassedly, "Sorry."

"Huh, you're really sick." The man left after saying that.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving me. That man is a gangster, that's why I don't want to be with him." Cai Lian quickly knelt on the ground to express her gratitude, and did not forget to explain what had just happened.

Yongqi took out five taels of silver from his purse and handed it to her, "This silver is for you. Go and bury your father quickly."

"Yongqi, there are dough figurines over there. Let's go and take a look." Xiaoyanzi pointed excitedly to the front with a candied haws in her hand.

Falcon looked at the person following far behind and pulled Yongqi's arm, "Hey, look behind, they're following us all the time. Do you want to go and explain it clearly?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyanzi also stopped and turned back to look at Cai Lian.

Cai Lian saw that they had discovered her, and she trotted over. She looked at Yong Qi pitifully and said, "Master, if you buy me, I will be yours. I can wash clothes, cook, chop wood, and light the fire. Just let me stay by your side and serve you."

"No, I'm only giving you the silver so you can bury your father. I don't need your servants." Yongqi said patiently, "We have a lot of maids and servants, we really don't need you. You can use the extra silver as travel expenses to go wherever you want to find your relatives."

Hearing him say this, Cai Lian's face was covered with two lines of tears, and she looked even more pitiful. "Master, please accept me. I have no relatives anymore. I haven't contacted my relatives in the capital for many years, and I don't know if they are still there. Please, keep me by your side and serve you, okay?"

Falcon winked at Ertai and watched the fun.

"Master, please take me in! Cailian really has nowhere to go. I'm really easy to take care of. Just give me something to eat every day." Her tears turned into wailing, but her fair neck was now covered with pink.

Seeing them like this, Yongqi glared at them unhappily and said, "I told you, I don't need you... to serve me." Looking at the white and tender swan neck, he swallowed uncomfortably.

Xiaoyanzi widened her eyes. What was wrong with Yongqi? Did he fall in love with this woman?

He immediately flew into a rage and said jealously, "Miss Cailian is so beautiful, young master is so lucky, I guess I'll have a sister-in-law soon."

After saying that, he grabbed a horse on the side of the road and galloped away without caring about anything.

"Little Swallow!" Yongqi wanted to chase after her, but Cailian hugged his legs and he couldn't move.

But in the blink of an eye, Xiaoyanzi disappeared. This made Yongqi very anxious. He pulled his legs out several times but failed to get them free. He shouted angrily, "Why don't you two pull her away quickly? Xiaoyanzi doesn't know how to ride a horse."

Fulcon and Forte finally reacted and each used one arm to pull Cai Lian away.

Yongqi grabbed another horse and galloped away.

"My horse - my horse -" the horse's owner screamed. Forte threw him two silver ingots, and he left satisfied.

"Brother, what should we do with her?" Fuertai let go of Cai Lian. This woman was really useless. She couldn't even seduce Yongqi.

Falcon also shook his hand away and wiped his hands on his clothes. "Miss Cailian, we will stay in the largest inn over there. As for whether Yongqi can accept you, it depends on your ability."

Cai Lian looked at their backs, her eyes lit up, and she weighed the silver in her hand. Whether she could have wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life depended on it.

In the suburbs, Yongqi finally found Xiaoyanzi, and saw Xiaoyanzi crawling on the horse's back, letting the horse rush around, and she was almost falling off.

"Little Swallow," he cried heart-wrenchingly, his heart almost jumping out of his chest.

"Xiaoyanzi, there is a gentle slope ahead. Just jump down there and I will protect you." Yongqi whipped the horse to catch up with Xiaoyanzi's horse, then slowly climbed onto the horse's back, waiting for the right opportunity.

Xiaoyanzi had already been frightened to the point of trembling, deeply regretting her impulsiveness. Seeing Yongqi still chasing after her, she felt much better, listening to his words and paying attention to the situation nearby.

"Little Swallow, jump!" Yongqi suddenly shouted.

Xiaoyanzi left the horse without hesitation and fell to the right. Soon she was hugged and the two of them rolled down the slope in each other's arms, their bodies covered with a lot of weeds.

Finally stopping, Xiaoyanzi lay on Yongqi's body, "Why are you here? Don't you still need to take care of Cailian? When are you getting married? Should I call her sister-in-law when I go back later?"

Hearing her misunderstanding him like this, Yongqi held her hand tighter and asked affectionately, "Xiaoyanzi, can't you see my feelings for you? I like you, very much, and I won't marry any other woman except you."
