Fang Qing was reading in the room when Zhao Shi'an would come over from time to time to check on her and bring her some snacks. He seemed very careful around her.
In the end, Fang Qing got annoyed with all of this.
What are you doing, going back and forth so many times?
Zhao Shi'an coughed lightly.
"I heard the flower cakes made on this street are delicious, so I asked Xiao Liu to buy some for you to try."
Fang Qing looked at the table in the room, where several plates were already placed, containing food that Zhao Shi'an had brought over.
"I don't want to eat. If you're free, go out for a walk."
"It's pointless for me to go out by myself if you don't go."
Fang Qing really didn't want to see his cautious manner, so she put down her book and followed him out the door.
They went boating on the lake and had lunch on the boat.
They stayed in Yangzhou for another day the following day.
Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an went shopping, and since they couldn't carry much else with them while traveling, they decided to buy some tea and snacks for the journey.
They chose a relatively large teahouse and tried several kinds of tea.
Zhao Shi'an made the decision to choose Longjing tea. Just as the two were paying the bill, two women walked in together.
Fang Qing was familiar with both women.
One of them, whom Fang Qing had met the day before, was Yunniang, whom Zhao Shi'an had mentioned to her.
The other woman had changed a lot since Fang Qing last met her, but Fang Qing could still recognize her; she was Chen Pinming, whom Fang Qing had rescued in Xichang Prefecture.
"Miss Fang!"
Pinming clearly recognized Fang Qing as well. She excitedly stepped forward, so eager that she didn't know how to greet Fang Qing for a moment.
What are you doing here?
"I heard about your marriage from my second sister-in-law, but I was in Jiangnan and couldn't go back to congratulate you."
"I'm so happy! You've come to Jiangnan for sightseeing?"
Compared to her excitement, Yunniang calmly bowed to Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an.
"I was just passing by and stopped to buy some tea."
"What do you like? I'll have someone wrap it for you right away."
"Is this your family's teahouse?"
"Yes, my parents have entrusted me with managing the business in Jiangnan."
While Fang Qing and Pin Ming were talking, Yun Niang looked at Zhao Shi An.
Neither of them spoke, but they exchanged glances.
Fang Qing noticed their expressions and declined their enthusiastic invitation to have tea.
