Feng Laiyi

On the day when Xia Ziwei's fever subsided, she hadn't fully recovered yet, so she came to Qianlong's room with the help of Little Yanzi, followed by Yongqi and Fu Erkang with nervous faces.

"Master." Upon entering the door, Xia Ziwei involuntarily knelt down in front of Qianlong and kowtowed respectfully.

"Ziwei, what are you doing?" Qianlong was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's so cold on the ground, how can your body withstand it now? Get up quickly."

"My lord, please listen to the servant girl." Xia Ziwei raised her head and looked at Qianlong, her eyes seemed to be filled with mist. After being ill for two days, her cheeks became thinner and paler, which makes people feel unbearable .

"If you have anything to say, talk to me when you get up!" Qianlong finished speaking, seeing Little Yanzi standing beside him motionless, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Little Yanzi, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you hurry up and help Ziwei up."

After listening to Qianlong's words, Little Swallow hurried forward to help Xia Ziwei up, Xia Ziwei leaned half on Little Swallow's body, looked at Qianlong, and said: "Your servant is not good enough to delay the master's schedule, please punish me. "

Qianlong was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "What are you talking about? It's not your fault, so how can you punish me?"

"Yes, thousands of mistakes, all my faults, I deserve to die, no matter beheading or beheading, come at me." Little Yanzi yelled.

"Nonsense!" Qianlong glared at Little Swallow, and reprimanded: "When did I say, sir, that I would punish you? Since Ziwei is fine, let this matter pass like this, and no one should mention it again!"

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, master." Xia Ziwei gave a blessing and said, "The body of this servant is fine, and the master can leave at any time."

Qianlong frowned, and before he could speak, Fulkan hurriedly said: "How can that be? You are so weak now, you need to rest for a few more days."

"You can't delay the master's schedule because of the slave." Xia Ziwei still insisted.

"There's no rush at this moment." Qianlong glanced at Fu Erkang and said to Xia Ziwei: "It's important that you take good care of yourself."

After a few more days like this, Xia Ziwei's body finally fully recovered, Qianlong and others did not stay long, and continued on the road. After this accident, Fulkang wished to follow Xia Ziwei all day long, without even eyesight. Dare to blink casually, for fear that Xia Ziwei will disappear again if she is not paying attention.

"I don't know whose bodyguard he is." Doron couldn't see Fulkang's face, and whispered to Fukan'an, his tone was full of ridicule and disdain.

"No way, spring is here." Fukang'an replied calmly.

"What?" Duolong was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, leaning back and forth with a smile, almost fell off the horse.

On this day, Qianlong and his party arrived at a village. Coincidentally, it was just in time for the village to "go to the market". The streets are filled with all kinds of stalls, and the streets are very lively with people coming and going.

Because of the "recruitment incident", the little swallow who was much more honest along the way saw the scene outside the car window and began to itch again, wishing to jump out of the car and run over immediately. Qianlong also found it interesting. "This is the first time I have encountered it, so I took everyone to see the freshness.

Walking slowly, everyone saw that there were all kinds of stalls around, everyone bought and sold, and it was very harmonious. Qianlong saw that even a small village under his rule could be so prosperous. He couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Suddenly, a scene in front of them that was somewhat out of tune with the excitement around them appeared in front of everyone. Everyone saw a beautiful-looking woman about eighteen or nineteen years old kneeling in front of a white cloth, on which there was vaguely written something , There are crowds of people in twos and threes who are discussing around her.

When Qianlong and others came close, they saw the four big characters "Selling one's body to bury one's father" written on the white cloth, followed by a few lines of lower characters. , passed by here, unexpectedly the old father was seriously ill, all the money on his body was exhausted, and the old father still let go. Cailian had no relatives, and was penniless, so he had to sell himself to bury his father. If there is a benevolent gentleman, he will generously donate his money and bury the old father. Cailian is willing to serve as a slave and handmaiden for life in return."

"Selling her body to bury her father?" Little Yanzi's eyes widened, and she looked at Cailian who was kneeling on the ground and weeping with flickering eyes, and said, "She looks so pitiful, let's give her some money."

Duolong sneered at the side, he had seen too much of the trick of selling one's body to bury his father when he was in the capital, so he said, "I don't know if it's true or not, it's not too casual to just give money like this."

After hearing this, Little Swallow stared at Duolong with her hands on her hips and shouted, "Why are you so sympathetic? She's crying like this, how could it be fake? You don't have to pay, you don't need to say it." Is this kind of sarcastic talk?"

"Little Yanzi, don't mess around." Seeing that Qianlong's face was a little ugly, Yong Qi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Little Yanzi's arm, "What Duolong said is also reasonable, you should leave this idle business alone."

"Yongqi, why do you even say that?" Little Yanzi shook off Yongqi's hand, widened her eyes and said angrily, "Where's your kindness? Where's your kindness? Has everything disappeared? "

"I..." Yong Qi was about to answer, when suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and the onlookers stepped aside one after another, and a few hideous, tall bullies strode over.

A man in the lead with a swollen face and the smell of alcohol rushed to Cailian in a few steps, stretched out his hand and pulled her up from the ground, shouting loudly: "You little hoof, how dare you come here?" Selling your body! I gave you money yesterday, and you are already mine. Where did you get a second body to sell? Hurry up and obediently go back with me!"

"I didn't take your money, I didn't! I'm not yours, I'd rather die than sell to someone like you..." Cailian wailed while struggling desperately.

"Bitch!" The bully raised his hand and slapped Cailian, "It's up to you whether you sell it or not!"

Seeing this, Little Yanzi became angry from the bottom of her heart, without saying a word, she flew forward and kicked the ruffian, and cursed: "What are you? How dare you hit someone in front of your aunt."

Seeing this, Fu Erkang, who had been by Xia Ziwei's side, quickly pulled Xia Ziwei back to Qianlong and the others. Yong Qi had come to dissuade Little Swallow, but now she had to help, and fought with the bullies , The crowd of onlookers has dispersed.

Qianlong's complexion had already turned ashen. Since the incident of Bai Yinshuang, he hated this kind of behavior of crying and selling his body to bury his father in public on the street. Seeing Little Yanzi make trouble again, he was almost annoyed It exploded.

Looking at the scene in the field, Xia Ziwei was very anxious, and hurriedly urged Vulkang to come forward to help.

Those bullies don't really know kung fu, they just rely on brute force to run amok in the village. How could they be the opponents of Xiao Yanzi, Yong Qi and Fu Erkang?After a while, they were all beaten to the ground, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"Get lost! Don't let my aunt and grandma see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!" Little Swallow said viciously, and laughed triumphantly as she watched the bullies run away scrambling and scrambling.

"Thank you two young masters, thank you miss..." Cai Lian crawled over on her knees, kowtowing to Yong Qi, Fu Erkang and Xiao Yanzi.

"Get up, I hate people kowtowing to me the most." Little Yanzi pulled Cailian up from the ground, not realizing that her words made Qianlong's face even more ugly.

"Little Yanzi, the fight is over, we should go." Yong Qi said.

"Wait a minute." After Xiao Yanzi finished speaking, she took out a purse from her bosom, and was about to give some silver to Cailian, when Duolong, who was standing beside Qianlong watching the play, suddenly changed his face.

"Where did your purse come from?!" Duolong leaped to the side of Little Swallow, grabbed her wrist, and shouted sharply.

"What's none of your business?" Little Yanzi was startled, looked up and saw that it was Duolong, and said angrily, waving her hands to shake off Duolong's hand.

"You'd better tell the truth." Duolong's grip was tighter, and he began to gnash his teeth when he spoke.

"Presumptuous, Duolong, let go of the little Yanzi!" Yong Qi realized that the situation was not good, and shouted.

"There are a lot of people here. If you have anything to do, you can wait until you find the inn." Fu Heng also said, the expression on Duolong's face changed a few times, and finally he let go of his hand slowly.

Yongqi hurriedly took the silver and handed it to Cailian, then turned around and left with Little Yanzi, but Cailian rushed to him, knelt down again with a plop, and said with tears in her eyes: "Young master, I will be you from now on." I am yours, and I would like to follow you for the rest of my life as a slave and a handmaid."

Yong Qi waved her hands in a panic, and said, "I don't give you silver to buy you, but to help you. Go and bury your father quickly, and then take the remaining silver taels as money to go to Beijing to find relatives."

"But... but... what should I do?" Cailian cried helplessly, "I'm very afraid of those people, they pester me and bully me, this time it's thanks to your help, young master, that I can save you They beat you away, if they find out that you are gone, I am afraid they will snatch me away again..."

"This..." Yong Qi looked embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Xia Ziwei stepped forward, took Cailian's hand, and comforted her softly: "Girl, don't cry, since we have helped you, we will help you to the end, don't worry." After finishing speaking, she turned around again Looking at Qianlong, he said: "My lord, this woman is lonely and helpless. If we don't care, I'm afraid we will be bullied by bullies. Why don't we take her on the road together."

He Chun secretly shook his head and sighed, thinking that Xia Ziwei was actually ignorant, Qianlong was the emperor, so he had to be extremely cautious when traveling in micro-clothes, how could a strange woman who had never met in the team get mixed up?What should I do if something good or bad happens?So he said: "Miss Ziwei, I'm afraid this is not very good..."

"What's wrong?" Little Swallow interrupted Hechun angrily, "She can only follow us now to ensure that she will no longer be bullied by those villains, Cailian, don't worry, my little Swallow will not be like some cold-blooded Like other people, they only know how to watch jokes on the sidelines.”

He Chun sneered twice in his heart, Little Yanzi has always looked at him as disliked, and has been trying to fight against him since he left the palace, could he still be afraid?So a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he said, "Little Yanzi, are you talking about me?" Without waiting for Little Yanzi to answer, she turned to look at Qianlong again, and said with a little grievance: "Father, I mean It is because we are not on the same road as this girl named Cailian, if we keep carrying her with us, it is not an option, why not take her to the post station in the next town, and then let her go to seek relatives by herself, wouldn't that be better?"

Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Cailian who was wearing plain white filial piety. He felt that it was very eye-catching, and he didn't want to look any further, so he nodded and said, "What He Chun said is a good idea, let's do it this way.
