Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 45

He shook out the muslin and straightened it, which was a little wider than he usually wore, and it didn't look like it was made for himself.

He tossed the muslin quilt aside, his eyes a little blurry.

This distant niece's personality is not pleasant, and I have saved her life, and I have not seen her to express my gratitude.

Even in the flood and on the way back to Suzhou City, they didn't say a few words.

However, he felt that it was necessary for him to mention a few words to her, so as to save them from being troubled by someone coming to their door when he was not in Suzhou.

After getting off the carriage, Xu Chun still carried the fine cloth and snacks back to his study.

Huai'an, who was following Xu Chun, was a little surprised, and slandered inwardly: "Didn't the third master never eat snacks? Usually, the food given by others is rewarded when you turn around. Why did you carry it back to the study this time?"

Fang Yuanzhi went to the Qianhu Office to find his father, and told him about his future plans: "I plan to go back to Qiantang soon. I don't think there is any need to open the medicine hall in Suzhou."

Fang Li expressed unconditional support for her daughter's approach.It turned out that he and his wife took care of the family property, and the money became less and less.The daughter has been taking care of it all these years, but it is getting better and better.

After Fang Yuanzhi went to bid farewell to the second bedroom of Xu's big house, he took Qingshan back to Qiantang County.

The house they live in is the old house of the Jiang family.

After the house was fined and confiscated, Fang Li used money to buy it back with great effort.

When Grandmother Jiang saw Fang Yuanzhi, she had a complicated smile on her face: "How are you doing in Suzhou? What does the Xu family say?"

Fang Yuanzhi smiled and said, "The Xu family's eldest uncle and grandmother and second uncle and grandmother have brought a lot of things, let me say hello to you."

The grandmother was slightly disappointed, sighed and said:
"Our Jiang family should also be pardoned and come back, but someone has to go to court to raise this matter.

The Xu family has a lot of contacts in the court, if they help, it will be a matter of course. "

Fang Yuanzhi hesitated slightly.She understood that this was also an important reason why her grandmother tried her best to match her with the Xu family.

Now that the Jiang family is in decline, it is a bit difficult to match the Xu family. The grandmother wants to match the Xu family's son as the daughter-in-law of the general family, so as to strengthen the political alliance and prevent the Jiang family from being thrown out of the wealthy circle after her death.

"It's better for my grandmother to write a letter to my second uncle and grandfather. He has not returned to Suzhou in the capital."

Fang Yuanzhi and his master Sai Huatuo devoted themselves to the research and cracking of poisons.

Sai Huatuo lives in a secluded village outside the city with his concubine and six-year-old son.

"Master, what have you been up to lately?"

Fang Yuanzhi asked helplessly as he looked at an independent hut that had been bombed and collapsed in the village.

Sai Huatuo twitched the corners of his mouth: "Don't mention it, it's not the ratio of one nitrate, two sulphur, and three charcoals you said. If I try to be wrong, the house will blow up!"

Fang Yuanzhi looked at the master's slender body, the pair of triangular eyes on that thin face still had a somewhat cynical sneer, it seemed that what they said just now was not gunpowder that could kill people, but just burned the breakfast.

Fang Yuanzhi pursed her lips, and changed the subject: "Master, it's time for me to learn the subject of poison!"

Sai Huatuo looked at Fang Yuanzhi carefully for a few times, put away the smirk on his face, grabbed Fang Yuanzhi's wrist and began to feel his pulse, and threw her wrist away after a while: "It's not a serious poison, why? It’s been so long and it hasn’t been cleaned up?”

Fang Yuanzhi smiled flatteringly: "Do you think all doctors are as good at defending and detoxifying as you?"

A trace of contempt flashed in Sai Huatuo's eyes: "I asked you to study my unique poison science, but you insisted on learning how to cure diseases and save lives. Are you at a loss now? Fortunately, it is not a difficult poison, but It will take some time..."

For the next month or so, Fang Yuanzhi lived in Sai Huatuo's Zhuangzi, while learning from his master how to distinguish and use poisons, and at the same time listening to the master's teachings to detoxify himself.

Fang Yuanzhi knew before that medicine and poison are often a family.Some poisons, when the dose is small, are good medicines for curing diseases and saving lives, but when the dose is large, they are poisons for killing and killing people.

This time when I went to Suzhou, I encountered two fights in a row. The first time she poisoned others, she didn't succeed;

At the beginning of August, Grandmother Jiang sent someone to call Fang Yuanzhi back, saying that a distinguished guest had arrived and asked her to help her receive it.

Fang Yuanzhi returned to the main house very unwillingly. In these years, except for the uncle's house in the capital who came to bring things every one or two years, she never had any distinguished guests who needed to be received by her.

Back outside the hall of his home, Fang Yuanzhi saw a familiar face from afar - Huai'an.

Her heart was pounding.This is Xu Chun's personal servant. Has Xu Chun come to Qiantang?
The hall can be described as full of people.

Grandmother, mother, eldest aunt, and second aunt all came out, as did Jiang's brothers and sisters, one of his younger brothers and a younger sister.

Surrounded by the crowd, there were two familiar faces.

One was Xu Chun, and the other was a handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, his face was somewhat familiar, Fang Yuanzhi couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Grandmother smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, your third cousin is here, and the young master from Shange's hometown, come and meet."

Fang Yuanzhi slandered, I was criticized by you last time when I called him third uncle, why now you say he is your third cousin?
Fang Yuanzhi remembered that the person next to Xu Chun was Shang Liangfu, the son of Shang Pavilion, who he met on the Xu family's ancestor's birthday.

Fang Yuanzhi stepped forward to salute and then stepped aside.

Xu Chun smiled to his grandmother: "Auntie, the pardon order for the two cousins ​​will come down within a month, and it will be sent to Yunnan in eight hundred miles. It is estimated that they will be home in about three months."

The grandmother, first aunt, second aunt, and mother couldn't help crying, and the room was full of sobbing.

Seeing this, Fang Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Can you send a letter asking them to bring back some special products? I heard that Yunnan's jadeite, Pu'er tea, ham, and wild mushrooms are very good. Whenever my master mentions the wild mushrooms in Yunnan Slobber……"

Fang Yuanzhi deliberately smacked his lips after speaking, as if he had endless aftertaste.

Everyone laughed when they heard that.The grandmother wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "You are the most greedy cat in the whole family! They went there for exile, not for fun, and they don't have much money, so they can't bring a lot of things."

Fang Yuanzhi walked up to his grandmother and said with a smile, "Grandmother, you don't know that the jadeite in Yunnan is very cheap. When we come to Qiantang, we can get ten times the price. If you don't have money to borrow, you have to bring some back!"

Jiang Ruomei jokingly said: "Yuan Zhi is really well versed in Tao Zhu's study and Duanmu's way!"

Fang Yuanzhi glanced at Xu Chun with a smile.

With this God of Wealth sitting here, what is my little shrimp?
After some gags by Fang Yuanzhi, the atmosphere returned to joy and peace.

The grandmother said to Xu Chun and Shang Liangfu: "Just two days later there will be a big tide on the Qiantang River. You two can hang around for a few days and watch the tide before leaving."

Fang Yuanzhi added: "I know a place where no one is there, and I can take in the scenery all by myself, so the two of you will definitely make this trip worthwhile!"
