At four quarters past noon, Hua Qingcheng, carrying a basket of fresh vegetables, got off Yu Qingyou's ox cart but did not go to the market. Instead, she continued walking along the road outside the market.
Hua Qingcheng passed by Lingqing Rice, Lingqing Dry Goods, Lingqing Liquor, Lingqing Tea Shop, and other shops, and then passed by the blacksmith shop, Lingqing Grocery Shop, Lingqing Pharmacy, and other shops, and finally arrived at the commercial street. The cloth shops, clothing stores, rouge and powder shops, and other shops here were all open to welcome customers. Hua Qingcheng finally arrived at the location of two restaurants in the town that were facing each other.
Hua Qingcheng was standing at the entrance of the Fugui Restaurant. However, because the restaurant's owner, Hua Fugui, had a grudge against her, she didn't want to cooperate with them. As she was about to walk across to Fengmanlou, a round, white figure suddenly leaped out from the side. Seeing that it was about to collide with her, Hua Qingcheng quickly dodged to the side.
“Ouch!”
Yang Kaitai fell to the ground and immediately grimaced in pain. Fortunately, his thick skin and flesh cushioned the impact and no bones were broken.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Are you okay?"
A thin and short servant hurried forward and used all his strength, but failed to pull the person on the ground up.
Seeing that the two people were blocking her way, Hua Qingcheng had no choice but to go around them. When she was about to walk to the opposite side, she was stopped by the servant.
He quickly jumped up from the ground, then stretched out a thin arm and placed it across Hua Qingcheng.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You knocked our young master down, and you want to run away without saying a word?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng glanced at the servant in front of her who was not as tall as her shoulders, and then glanced at the fat man on the ground. Was she being scammed?
But shouldn't it be so? Seeing that he was dressed in silk and satin, and had servants to serve him, while I was wearing coarse linen clothes and was penniless, it seemed that there was nothing he could do to him?
"Fat Tiger, don't be rude!"
"I just fell because I walked too fast. This girl has nothing to do with me!"
The person on the ground had struggled to stand up by himself. Then Hua Qingcheng saw a man wearing a white silk robe, who was about the same height as herself, but full of fat. He weighed at least 200 pounds. He had a chubby face and was looking at her and the servant.
Only then did Yang Kaitai see Hua Qingcheng's appearance clearly. Her peach blossom eyes were as bright as water, but they were filled with coldness. Her eyebrows were curved, her nose was delicate, her lips were like pearls, and her teeth were like pearls. She was a beautiful woman with a face as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon.
The heart of the fifteen-year-old boy Yang Kaitai suddenly began beating uncontrollably, and his chubby face was flushed.
"It was...I fell down accidentally. It has nothing to do with you, young lady. Please don't blame me for my behavior!"
While apologizing, Yang Kaitai lowered his head, his eyes drooped, his face flushed, his two chubby hands were slightly clenched, and he was poking his fleshy index fingers at each other, looking shy.
Seeing such a huge man with a delicate appearance, Hua Qingcheng felt a chill, but seeing that the other party was a reasonable man, she did not bother with them. She nodded to Yang Kaitai expressionlessly and was about to leave. However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from upstairs.
"Beauty! Beauty!"
Then a stick slid down from the second-floor window with a "crackling" sound, and was about to hit the fat boy on the head. Hua Qingcheng hurriedly grabbed his fat arm and pulled him aside. Then the wooden stick came down with a "clang" at the place where he had just been, and broke into two pieces in an instant.
"Thank you, girl!"
Yang Kaitai, whose head was almost exploded, said to Hua Qingcheng gratefully.
It turned out that the noise downstairs had attracted the attention of the people in the private room on the second floor of Fugui Restaurant. Xiao Lengyu curiously went to the window and looked down, but unexpectedly saw an extremely beautiful woman. He was so excited that he accidentally knocked down the window support and fell directly down.
When Yang Kaitai patted his chest with lingering fear, Xiao Lengyu, the culprit who almost hit someone by throwing objects from a high altitude, had already left the second-floor box and walked down the stairs. He was running out of the lobby on the first floor of the Fugui Restaurant while shouting.
"Beauty! Beauty!"
Hua Qingcheng looked over and saw a woman in red, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an extremely tall figure, who was at least 190 cm tall, running towards them from the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.
Hua Qingcheng, who had been delayed for a while, didn't intend to pay any attention and turned around and walked towards Fengmanlou.
"Hey, beauty! Beauty! Don't go!"
Seeing that Xiao Lengyu actually wanted to catch up and harass Hua Qingcheng, Yang Kaitai quickly stopped her.
"Xiao Lengyu, although I don't want to marry you, at least our engagement hasn't been cancelled. Don't you think it's immoral for you to chase a woman in public?"
Seeing the short, plump Yang Kaitai standing in front of her, hindering her pursuit of the beauty, Xiao Lengyu glanced at his round, swollen figure with disdain. She didn't know what her mother was thinking, actually wanting her to marry such a fat pig, but she wouldn't obey him obediently.
And most importantly, for some reason, Xiao Lengyu had never liked men since she was a child. She even felt a slight repulsion and disgust towards them. Not only that, she also found beautiful women more attractive. Every time she saw a beautiful woman, her heart would beat faster and she would be unable to walk.
"Hey, little Fatty, why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? Do you think I will look down on you?"
"That's perfect. I don't want to marry into the Xiao family. Why don't you go back and report to the county magistrate as soon as possible so that she can cancel our engagement as soon as possible."
