Chapter 150 Chapter 150 Sight
After the Lantern Festival, Fang Bihe told the Fu family that he was ready to leave.
Everyone was having dinner at the time, and they all turned to look at him when they heard his words.
"Is that so?" Zhou came to her senses and said worriedly, "Are you going back...to the north? The weather is bad right now, and the snow is melting. I'm afraid the road will be difficult to travel on."
Fang Bihe smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm a grown man, I can travel light and it won't delay anything."
Zhou stopped talking.
Fu Yanhui was reluctant to part with the brother and sister, and asked, "Uncle Fang, will you come to our house again in the future?"
They liked Uncle Fang very much. Not only was he interesting to talk to, he also played with them. The brother and sister gradually got used to his presence, and were naturally reluctant to hear him say that he was leaving.
Fang Bihe patted their heads and said, "Maybe I won't come here again in the future, but we will meet again and play together then."
"oh."
The two children didn't quite understand what he meant, but they both responded obediently.
The weather was not very good on the day Fang Bihe left. The sky was gloomy, it was drizzling, and it was extremely cold.
He was walking on the street holding an umbrella, followed by two bodyguards.
A guard whispered, "My Lord, the ship is ready and can depart at any time."
When passing by the East Street of the county town, Fang Bihe saw a shop called "Yu's Rouge Shop" on the side of the road. The door of the shop was open and he could see people busy in the shop.
He said to his guards, "Wait here for me. I'm going to buy something."
As he said this, he walked towards the shop.
Just after the Chinese New Year, business in the store was very slow. Yu Jin was the only one in the store. She sat at the counter, looking through the account book.
Noticing someone coming in, she looked up and said, "Welcome..."
After seeing who came in clearly, Yu Jin was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Fang, why are you here? Are you here to buy something?"
Fang Bihe looked at the store, which was divided into two areas. One side sold clothes, jewelry and other items that were popular in the provincial capital, while the other side sold goods such as rouge, powder and perfume.
There are also some cute and exquisite things in the corners, which can easily attract women or children.
The items in the store are neatly arranged, making it easy to see what's there at a glance.
Looking around the shop, Fang Bihe said, "I want to buy some rouge and powder for my mother and my sister. Can you please help me introduce them, Shopkeeper Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Jin asked his mother and sister about their preferences and then recommended some to him.
Fang Bihe had no knowledge of rouge and powder, and didn't know which one was better, so he just bought all the ones she recommended.
Yu Jin: “…”
This guy really has too much money to spend.
When they were paying the bill, Fang Bihe suddenly said, "Shopkeeper Yu, I'm leaving now."
Yu Jin looked at him in surprise, and then said, "I wish you a safe journey, Mr. Fang."
"Thank you. I appreciate your words."
Fang Bihe smiled brightly, took the rouge and powder she had packed, walked out of the store, and left in the wind and rain.
Yu Jin in the store looked up and then stopped paying attention. She continued to calculate the accounts with her head down and occasionally wrote down some things to pay attention to when running a girls' school.
After the first month of the lunar year, the store will start recruiting people and discuss the establishment of a girls' school with the county magistrate's wife. By then, I'm afraid she will be too busy to take care of the store's business, so I can only trouble Sun Fangniang to pay more attention.

After the Chinese New Year, Yu Li also became busy and went to the village with Zhang Fu to slaughter pigs.
Last year she helped to castrate pigs in a nearby village. Everyone remembered her skills and trusted her very much. This year, many people came to Zhang Fu to ask if they could ask her to castrate pigs again.
When Yu Li learned about this, he readily agreed.
When Fang Bihe heard that she was going to slaughter pigs for someone, his expression was extremely shocked, and there was a sense of weirdness in his shock.
After Yu Li left with the butcher knife, he couldn't help but ask Fu Wenxiao, "Are you really not afraid?"
Such a powerful girl, who can chop people like chopping vegetables, can not only kill pigs, but also castrate pigs. Is Prince Fu really not afraid? If he does something to let her down one day, she will definitely castrate him like a pig.
Fu Wenxiao was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "It's just a skill to make a living, what's there to be afraid of? Or have you done something to bully men and women that makes you afraid?"
As he said this, he looked at Fang Bihe meaningfully, as if he wanted to find evidence that he was bullying men and women and then tell his wife.
Li Niang is a straightforward person. She hates to see men bullying women by relying on their strength. If that's the case, then it's okay for her to bully them by relying on her own strength, right?
Fang Bihe was so scared by him that he thought this guy was so disgusting that he actually wanted Yu Li to castrate him like a pig.
He said hurriedly: "I am a good man who abides by the law. Please don't slander me!"
Zhou was bringing tea over at the time and happened to hear what they were saying. She almost fell down.
Later she thought that Fang Bihe left so quickly perhaps because he was stimulated by the pig slaughter.
She didn't know what to say to that.
After Fang Bihe was scared away, Zhou placed the tea on the table and hesitated to say, "Xiao brother, don't be so scary."
Look at how scared Young Marquis Fang is! If he sees Li Niang again, he will avoid her...
Fu Wenxiao turned around and smiled at her, "Mom, I just scared him a little, his reaction was quite interesting."
Zhou was somewhat helpless, thinking that he did not seem to be threatening her. If the young Marquis Fang was really a villain who bullied men and women, she would have his men tie him up and have the butcher kill him directly, without Li Niang having to do anything.
This kind of thing...it's not like he hasn't done it before.
-
When Yu Li came back from slaughtering the pig, he saw Fu Wenxiao coming over with a box.
He said, "This is from Fang Bihe for you and my second sister."
When Yu Li opened the box and saw the stack of banknotes inside, he couldn't help but look at him.
Fu Wenxiao said, "The thank-you gift from Fang Bihe to you, as well as the food expenses he has been paying for in our house during this period, are all here."
Since he stays at the Fu family to eat and drink, he has to be given some food expenses.
Yu Li was surprised and asked, "Why did he give so much money?"
She calculated and found that there were more than 10,000 taels. Is his family so rich?
Fu Wenxiao smiled and said, "His life is worth more than ten thousand taels. I'm afraid you won't accept it, so I'll give it to you after he leaves."
Yu Li said "oh" and couldn't help but look at him, wondering if Fang Bihe was so generous because of what he said.
Finally she accepted the money.
If Fang Bihe were here, she would definitely not accept it, and even if she did, she would not accept so much. But now that he is gone, there is no way to return it to him.
It just so happens that Yu Jin needs a lot of money for his business, so if someone wants to give him money for free, then just take it.
The next day, Yu Li gave the money in the box to Yu Jin and told her that it was a thank-you gift from Fang Bihe to them, thanking them for saving his life.
"So much?" Yu Jin was also shocked. "Is his family so rich?"
Although it was obvious that Fang Bihe was not an ordinary person, the thank-you gift of ten thousand taels still frightened her, a commoner.
Yu Jin suddenly felt a little regretful. "If I had known he was so generous, I would not have accepted his money when he came to buy something yesterday."
At this time, she was full of affection for Fang Bihe, as if she was looking at the God of Wealth.
This man not only brought her a boat, but also gave them a thank-you gift of 10,000 taels. He was a kind person who knew how to repay kindness, and it was worth it to save such a person.
Of course, there should be fewer accidents like the one I encountered with Fang Bihe that day.
Yu Jin doesn't want to encounter this kind of thing again, it's too exciting. Last time it was solved smoothly because her sister was there, but it doesn't mean it will be possible in the future.
With these ten thousand taels, Yu Jin had more money at his disposal and could do more things.
She was very excited and pulled Yu Li to chatter about her plans for this year. She wanted to form her own caravan and go to the richest Qingjiang Province to purchase goods.
Yu Li listened patiently, waited for her to finish, and continued to encourage her.
In the following days, Yu Li continued to follow Zhang Fu to the village to slaughter pigs.
Every villager who has seen her castrate a pig has great confidence in her skills and feels safe handing over their piglets to her. The results also prove that the piglets she castrates do not suffer much. Each one survives, recovers quickly, and looks very energetic.
It's February in a blink of an eye.
In mid-February, Xuan Huaiqing came to find Yu Li and asked her to go to the manor in the city to teach the girls and soldiers in the manor how to do physical exercises.
When practicing this physical skill halfway, you will always encounter various problems. Some people can notice it, but some people cannot. At this time, Yu Li has to help and guide.
In fact, he wanted to invite Yu Li to the Zhennan Army camp, but he was afraid of causing her unnecessary trouble. Finally, he decided to go to the farm near the city and take the soldiers of the Zhennan Army there as well.
In the village, you don't have to worry about being discovered.
Yu Li readily agreed and went to the provincial capital with Fu Wenxiao.
Xuan Huaiqing was waiting for them in the city. When he saw Fu Wenxiao coming along, he was a little confused and didn't know how to address him.
Ever since confirming Fu Wenxiao's identity, Xuan Huaiqing always felt that this person had bad intentions when looking at him.
When Yu left to teach those people physical skills, the two watched from a distance.
There were a lot of people in the manor, but at this moment, except for the group of people who needed instruction in physical skills, no one else was here, so Xuan Huaiqing specifically asked people to clear the area.
Although Yu Li said that it didn't matter if this set of basic physical skills was seen by outsiders and anyone who wanted to learn it could learn it, Xuan Huaiqing still felt that a group of people should learn it first so that the people could be better protected.
Even if more people learn this set of physical skills in the future, which increases their strength and they want to use their strength to do bad things, the government will be able to quickly send people to control them and prevent them from harming more people.
Xuan Huaiqing looked for a while, then turned his gaze to Fu Wenxiao, and couldn't help asking: "Fu, Prince Fu, why did you come to Shanping County?"
Fu Wenxiao looked at him calmly, "General Xuan, are you going to drive me away from the South?"
"Master Fu is joking." Xuan Huaiqing said stiffly, muttering softly, "Who dares to drive you away? Are you going to die?"
Hearing this, Fu Wenxiao said nothing more.
Xuan Huaiqing hesitated for a moment, but quickly decided to ignore it.
Anyway, this man is now called "Fu Wenxiao", a scholar in Shanping County, not the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, so there is no need to think too much. When he regains his identity one day, he will consider the reason why he ran here and whether it will cause trouble to the Zhennan Army.
You know, the Zhennan Army is stationed in the south of Daqing Dynasty. Many people in the court are watching them, as if they are afraid that the Zhennan Army will rebel in the south. There are even princes who send people to win over the Zhennan Army...
It's really ridiculous that the Zhennan Army is far away from the capital, guarding the remote mountainous area of the south, protecting the southern border for the Daqing Dynasty and serving the people wholeheartedly.
How desperate must they be to get involved in those things and help a certain prince win the throne?
Only a fool would do such a thankless task.
In this generation of the Xuan family, there is only one male, Xuan Huaiqing, and he has no sisters. Even if the princes want to marry into the Xuan family and win them over, they cannot find any candidates.
This is also where the Xuan family is smart.
The deceased Xuan's father had a good relationship with his wife. The couple had only one son and no other children. The child was sent to the south when he was ten years old, so there was no need to worry about him staying in the capital and getting involved in the struggles among the princes.
**
It was a rare opportunity to come to the provincial capital, so Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao decided to spend a few days in the provincial capital and also help Yu Jin to check out the shops in the provincial capital.
Yu Jin plans to come to the capital city to open a new store in March. She will then bring a group of people with her and stay in the capital city for a while before going back when the business is on track.
As they happened to be in the provincial capital, they would help her check out the shops first, and if there was a suitable one, they would book it right away.
While the two were busy, Old Lady Yao learned that they had arrived in the city and sent a message to Yu Li, inviting them over for dinner.
Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao went to Yao's house.
When Old Lady Yao saw Yu Li, she pulled her aside and showed concern for her again, asking them what they were busy with in the city these days and why they didn't come to see her.
Yu Li said: "My sister wants to come to the capital to do business and open a store. We will look for a store for her in the next few days."
Madam Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see. Have you found a suitable one? If not, I'll have someone help you look. I'm very familiar with this part of the city."
Yu Li thanked her and said that it was not necessary, as they had already found one and would book a store in a few days.
After deciding on the shop, they returned to the county and told Yu Jin about it.
Yu Jin was very happy. Based on her trust in her elder sister and brother-in-law, she decided to take people to the provincial capital in a few days to check out the shops and open them.
In March, there was news from Xuan Huaiqing, who came to find Yu Li to suppress the bandits.
Yu Li agreed without saying a word.
Money is never enough, especially now that she has to support her sister in running a girls' school in the county. All things are difficult at the beginning, and the money to be invested in the early stages is increasing. She decided to earn more money.
Knowing that Yu Li was going on a long journey again, Zhou packed her luggage and then went to see Fu Wenxiao, wondering why Xiao was so calm.
Yu Li also remembered that when she went to suppress the bandits last year, Fu Wenxiao fell ill, so she told him, "I shouldn't be gone for too long this time, I'll be back in about a month."
Fu Wenxiao said: "Then I'll wait for you at home."
Yu Li didn't think much about it, thinking that he was going to study at home in order to take part in the provincial examination in August this year.
The provincial examination, also known as the autumn examination, is held every three years. This year is the provincial examination held every three years. As long as you pass the provincial examination, you will become a juren.
Fu Wenxiao naturally planned to participate as well.
During the rest time at night, Yu Li habitually input supernatural powers into Fu Wenxiao, and then touched his pulse on his wrist. The pulse was very strong, no longer like when they first met, which was elusive and seemed like it could stop at any time.
"Xiao brother, your body should be almost recovered." Yu Li looked at him, "Now you can practice physical training."
I don’t know if her special ability is not enough, but his body is still warm and his temperature is very low.
Fu Wenxiao hummed, smiling, and said in a gentle and warm voice, "Actually, I have been practicing these days."
"Really?" She blinked. "Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
He was a little embarrassed. "I see you're so busy during the day, so I'll practice on my own first. If I don't understand something, I'll ask you later."
Upon hearing this, Yu Li stared at his face, as if trying to find something out.
This man has fair skin, and it is quite obvious when he blushes. If his eyes are red... it should be very obvious too, but she seems to have never seen his eyes red.
Fu Wenxiao felt strange, but said calmly, "It was a little difficult at the beginning, but it's not that painful."
“It doesn’t hurt?” Yu Li looked at him in confusion. Could it be that he was insensitive to pain, so he didn’t want to cry like other people did when the pain was so severe?
No wonder his eyes weren't red.
Fu Wenxiao hummed and said frankly: "Compared to before, it really doesn't hurt that much, I can still bear it."
Hearing this, she was a little dazed.
When he fell ill, he was not really ill, but was poisoned. The poison was very destructive to his body and must have brought him great pain.
Especially every time the poison took effect, he couldn't even stand steadily and could only lie in bed in a daze.
Yu Li didn't know how much pain he was in. It was something that other people couldn't relate to. They could only tell from his reactions that it must have been very painful.
He could even endure that kind of pain, so it seemed normal for him to be able to endure the pain brought about by physical training.
Yu Li didn't really want to see his eyes turn red, so after knowing that he had started practicing, he didn't say anything.
"Okay then." She said, "Wait until I come back from suppressing the bandits, and then I'll see how far you've come."
Fu Wenxiao responded with a smile.
Ever since he felt his body becoming stronger and his limbs becoming more powerful, Fu Wenxiao knew that his health was getting better.
In this situation, it didn't affect anything, so he started practicing physical skills.
He had seen her practice this set of physical skills thousands and tens of thousands of times, so it had long been deeply imprinted in his mind and he could practice it with his eyes closed.
The pain of physical training is indeed great, but compared with those three years, it seems nothing.
Those three years were a heart-wrenching pain, but in the end it brought him unexpected gains. It allowed him to endure pain that ordinary people could not endure and to practice a set of physical skills without changing his expression.
If he hadn't wanted to master this set of physical skills, perhaps he would have gone with her to fight the bandits this time.
He really didn't want to be separated from her.
But rather than being a drag, he should first make himself stronger so that he can keep up with her. Otherwise, he would just be seen as a weak scholar in the eyes of the world, and no matter where he went, he would have to rely on her for protection, which was not good.

Yu Li was busy outside throughout March and only returned in early April.
That day, Yu Li returned to the county town. Just as he walked out of the dock, he met a woman who was about to give birth on the road. She seemed to have fallen and was lying on the ground groaning in pain, with one hand on her bulging belly, and a pool of blood under her body.
The people around were shouting in panic and asking people to quickly find a cart to take the pregnant woman to the clinic.
Yu Li pushed aside the people around him, picked up the pregnant woman on the ground, secretly injected her with supernatural powers to save the woman and the baby in her belly, and strode towards the clinic.
Soon after the woman was taken to the clinic, the baby was born safely.
Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect the baby to be born so quickly. Moreover, the woman was obviously in good health. Not only did she give birth to the child smoothly, but the child looked a little small but very healthy.
Everyone says that this woman is lucky.
After Yu Li confirmed that the pregnant woman and the child were fine, he prepared to leave.
The pregnant woman's mother-in-law and husband hurried over to thank Yu Li. Seeing that her clothes were still stained with blood, they felt grateful and guilty.
The mother-in-law held her hand and said, "Thank you so much, girl. If anything happened to my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, I would really..."
The pregnant woman accidentally fell while delivering meals to her husband who worked at the dock.
The baby in the belly was exactly eight months old. As the saying goes, if it's seven months old, it may not survive. When everyone saw the pregnant woman fall like that, they thought both the mother and the child might be dead. The mother-in-law and husband were so scared when they got the news.
Who would have thought that because they were sent to the hospital in time, or because the pregnant woman was in good health, both the adult and the child survived.
Of course, the mother-in-law still felt that her daughter-in-law must have been sent to the hospital in time to give birth to the baby smoothly.
She was really grateful to Yu Li and asked her where her home was. She would visit her to thank her some other day.
When Yu Li finally walked out of the clinic, she noticed someone was looking at her.
In fact, there were many people who usually looked at her, staring at her for various reasons, but this gaze was particularly different, with a bit of coldness and inquiry.
It makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
People with special powers are very sensitive to the good and evil of others.
The other party obviously had bad intentions.
Yu Li turned her head and looked towards an inn not far away. The person watching her was in a room on the second floor of the inn. The window was closed, leaving only a gap, and someone was standing there watching her.
Yu Li walked over, arrived in front of the inn, and looked up.
The other party probably didn't expect that she would actually walk straight towards him without any concealment. He was frightened by her and dared not look at her. He slammed the window shut.
Yu Li stood there and watched for a while, but did not enter the inn to investigate, and turned and left.
After she left, the people in the inn might have been frightened and that gaze never appeared again.
This time I returned to the county town in the afternoon, and it was still early when I got home.
When Zhou and others saw the blood stains on her body, they turned pale with fright.
"Li, Li Niang, where are you hurt?" Zhou was at a loss, her face full of worry, fear and horror.
The two children were also frightened, their lips pouted and tears rolled in their eyes.
Fu Wenxiao's face turned pale, filled with worry, fear and anger.
Seeing that they were frightened, Yu Li quickly said, "I'm fine, this is someone else's blood."
Then she told them about how she sent a pregnant woman to the clinic on her way back, and their expressions looked better.
