Chapter 37 Distant Shadow in the Blue Sky

Seeing Fang Yuanzhi lowering his head and crying, Xu Yuankai felt his heart heat up.

Those two lines of hot tears fell onto his heart like hot wax.

After all, sister Yuan Zhi was not completely indifferent to him.

That's enough.

He begged his grandparents, but they didn't give him a reply. They just asked him to go to the capital to honor his parents.

His grandmother pointed out a way for him: "Marriage must be ordered by the parents and the matchmaker, and cannot be done by oneself."

Xu Yuankai felt a little cold in his heart.

If your grandparents support you, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

They didn't express their opinions, and most of them declined politely.

But he also thought of his grandfather's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling at the birthday party of his ancestors.

He originally thought that his third uncle Xu Chun would be an obstacle, but yesterday he heard what his grandmother wanted. His third uncle was going to be engaged to the daughter of the Xing family. Although he had not decided which girl he would be engaged to, he had already made arrangements for the engagement with the Xing family, and the date of the engagement was set.

Got off.

Although the future is uncertain, he still wants to fight for it.

Fang Yuanzhi sent Xu Yuankai to the street corner before turning around.

After this farewell, we may never have the chance to see each other again in the future.

When Xu Yuankai left Suzhou, Fang Yuanzhi did not go to the Xu family to say goodbye. Instead, he took a carriage to the dock of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

She asked Chenghong that when the Xu family went to the capital, they always went to the pier to take a boat north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

She just wanted to say goodbye to Xu Yuankai in her own way.

She also said goodbye to her first love that was killed before it even sprouted.

After waiting for several hours, when it was almost noon, Qingshan, who was guarding the only way to the dock, finally came over to report: "Miss, Master Yuan Kai has just boarded the ship, that three-masted ship over there."

Fang Yuanzhi opened the car curtain and looked in the direction Qingshan pointed.

Qingshan stared at Fang Yuanzhi a few more times.

He had been following the young lady since he was seven years old, and it was the first time he saw her dressed up so beautifully that no one could take their eyes away.

Fang Yuanzhi didn't care about Qingshan.

Seeing that the three-masted ship had raised its sail and was about to start slowly, she simply got off the carriage and stood at the dock near the water to see him off.

Because ordinary ships had already set off in the early morning, taking advantage of the coolness of the morning, there were not many people or ships at the pier at the moment, and Fang Yuanzhi's dress was particularly prominent.

Unfortunately, Fang Yuanzhi did not see Xu Yuankai.

She watched silently as the three-masted ship slowly left the dock and sailed away.

At this time, someone on the shore suddenly shouted: "Yuan Kai! Yuan Kai!"

Xu Yuankai was packing books when he heard the sound and looked towards the shore. He found that the third uncle who came to see him off was on the shore, pointing his finger in the direction of the pier.

Xu Yuankai looked towards the pier and saw a beautiful woman standing on the pier in the distance, with a red flower patch on her forehead.

The beauty's radiant foundation clothes reflect the brilliant colors in the sunlight, making her look as beautiful as a fairy in the clouds.

Xu Yuankai took a deep breath, his eyes slightly moist.

He was a little regretful that she didn't go to Xu Mansion to say goodbye.

But I didn’t expect that she would be here to say goodbye, and she, who has always been low-key, would be so dressed up!

It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to appreciate it up close.

However, no matter how she dressed up, she was always a radiant woman, and she had already been engraved in his heart.

The shadow of the solitary sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky.

When Fang Yuanzhi saw the three-masted ship disappear, she finally turned around and left, approaching her carriage under the scorching sun.

As she approached the carriage, she saw the curtain of the carriage next door was lifted, revealing Xu Chun's calm and handsome face.

Fang Yuanzhi simply approached Xu Chun's carriage and said, "Mr. Xu, I broke my promise. There is no need to continue the jade business."

It was said that she had met Xu Yuankai twice since the business negotiation at Canglang Pavilion, so she could not be considered as complying with the terms of the agreement.

She also doesn't want to sell friendship to make money.

Xu Chun just smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter. Miss Fang keeps her promise and attaches great importance to love and justice. Xu admires her."

Fang Yuanzhi was choked, and after a long while, she started talking again: "I heard that my third uncle got engaged, and my niece is here to congratulate you on the birth of your son, happiness and happiness." As he spoke, a fake smile appeared on his face.

Xu Chun looked at her with a smile but not a smile: "Can you feel at ease now?"

What am I so uneasy about?

Fang Yuanzhi asked with a smile: "I wonder which young lady from the Xingzhifu family my third aunt is?"

But Xu Chun turned cold, threw down the curtain, and ordered the coachman: "Let's go!"

Fang Yuanzhi was not upset when she saw Xu Chun's carriage driving away slowly. After a while, she got on the carriage and went home without mentioning it.

It seems that Xu Chun's engagement didn't go so smoothly, otherwise he would have fallen out when asked about the details.

Xu Chun was unhappy, but Fang Yuanzhi felt a lot more comfortable. Even the hot air in the carriage seemed less unbearable.

That night, the weather became more and more muggy, and in the second half of the night, the wind suddenly came strong and it rained heavily.

For the next half month, it rained continuously.

Originally, Fang Yuanzhi planned to open several more medical clinics in Suzhou, but in this situation, it is no longer necessary.

Moreover, she has offended the Wang family, and the more medical clinics are opened, the more dangerous it becomes.

After waiting for a while, the jade business and the pharmaceutical workshop were on the right track. She planned to send her master Sai Huatuo to Suzhou to guide the pharmaceutical workshop. She simply closed the Jimin Medical Hall and Fuji Jade Shop and only worked with the Xu family.

Business is good.

With this thought in mind, Fang Yuanzhi no longer had any intention of promoting Jimin Medical Clinic, but insisted on going to her father's Qianhu Clinic free clinic every ten days.

There are five Thousand Household Clinics in Suzhou. Families in other Thousand Household Clinics heard about the free medical care provided by Fang Li and clamored for free clinics and medicines at discounted prices.

Fang Li approached Fang Yuanzhi with some embarrassment. Fang Yuanzhi waved his hand: "What's the difficulty?"

With the support of the Xu family's major business, she is happy to do some good deeds and gain some reputation for her father.

For several days, Fang Yuanzhi traveled to several thousand-household hospitals in the rain, patiently and carefully providing free medical consultations to the families of soldiers, prescribing medicines, and sending some daily medicinal materials to the commander and fellow commanders of the Suzhou Guards, as well as the commanding officers.

, not valuable, but makes people feel heartwarming.

The free clinic event finally ended that day, and Fang Yuanzhi took Qingshan on horseback to return to Suzhou City.

Continuous rainy days made the official road muddy. Even when riding a horse wearing an oil coat, there was a lot of mud stains on his body.

Seeing the Suzhou City Gate from a distance, Fang Yuanzhi thought about it and decided to find a place by the water to simply clean the mud and water on the oil coat.

Oil coat is a kind of waterproof rain gear made of tung oil coated on cloth. It was invented as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. By the Ming Dynasty, it had become more popular and was a common rainproof product.

Qingshan was not as clean as Fang Yuanzhi, so he took his horse and waited beside the official road.

People were coming and going on the road, and there were not many cars, horses and pedestrians passing by.

There were two pedestrians dressed as farmers who seemed to know each other. They stood by the official road and started chatting:

"Brother Zhao, long time no see, why did you come to the city too?"

"No, all the people in our village with connections have gone to the city, and now they are afraid of a flood!"

"No way? Our Suzhou has waterways extending in all directions, and we haven't had a flood in many years!"
