Bai Yu'an didn't sleep well that night, and he didn't have much energy when he was in Hanlin the next day.
After getting off duty in the afternoon, Bai Yu'an left early and didn't even respond when Wen Changqing called from behind.
When he came out of the palace gate, Bai Yu'an saw A Tao standing not far from the palace gate and hurriedly walked over.
A Tao came over in the wind and snow, and walked to Bai Yu'an's side: "Why did the young master come out so early?"
Bai Yu'an only said in a low voice: "I have some free time today."
A Tao didn't ask any more questions and helped Bai Yu get into the carriage.
The carriage had not started yet, but a woman's crisp voice came from not far away.
Bai Yu'an quickly picked up the curtain and looked around. When he saw Wang Wanqing getting off the carriage and coming towards him, he quickly got off the carriage and went over.
It was snowing heavily on a windy and snowy day, and the snow fell so heavily that people a few meters away could hardly be seen.
Wang Wanqing ignored the heavy snow and the shouts of the girl behind her. When she saw Bai Yu'an, she threw herself into her arms and cried, "Why doesn't brother Yu'an want to marry Wanqing?"
Bai Yu'an looked at the hoarfrost on Wang Wanqing's hair, and then glanced at the girl who was chasing after her. Fearing that she would be blown away by the snow, she patted Wang Wanqing on the back and advised, "Let's get on the carriage first."
Wang Wanqing raised her face full of tears and looked at Bai Yu'an: "I want brother Yu'an to tell me now why he doesn't want to marry Wanqing?"
"Wanqing will return to her hometown with her grandfather tomorrow. Doesn't brother Yuan not want Wanqing?"
Wang Wanqing's green face was full of moisture, and her innocent almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. Bai Yu'an's heart tightened, her throat rolled a few times, and she still said with difficulty: "You can meet a man who truly cares for you in the future."
"If you follow me, you may not have a good life."
Wang Wanqing couldn't listen to this at all. She buried her head in Bai Yu'an's arms and cried: "I don't care about that. I only know that I will be happy when I am with brother Yu'an."
"Wanqing just wants to stay with brother Yu'an. Wanqing is willing to endure any hardship."
Bai Yu'an took the umbrella handed over from the girl to block the snow, and sighed: "Sister Wanqing, I already have an unmarried wife in my hometown."
After hearing this, Wang Wanqing cried even harder. She pulled Bai Yuan's sleeves and wiped her tears and said, "Then Wanqing can be the younger one. Wanqing will not prevent brother Yuan from marrying her. As long as brother Yuan keeps Wanqing, It’s nice to be around.”
Bai Yu'an felt a little helpless when she heard Wang Wanqing's childish words: "You are a woman from a noble family, and you will also be a well-matched and outstanding man in the future. Don't say such words again."
A Tao walked over from behind. She recognized Wang Wanqing from the one who followed Bai Yu'an. When she saw this situation, she couldn't help but whispered: "Miss Wang, it's snowing outside, why don't we go inside the carriage first."
Wang Wanqing seemed not to have heard A Tao's voice, and suddenly cried and shouted at Bai Yu'an: "I don't want to marry anyone else. My grandfather said that he has made a marriage arrangement for me, but I have never met him. "
"How can he be as good to me as brother Yu'an!"
Bai Yu'an saw Wang Wanqing crying so hard that the fifteen-year-old girl was about to get married.
The daughter who has been cared for since childhood may not understand the meaning of marriage.
Bai Yu'an's expression was also sad, and the wind and snow fell on him, which only made him feel a little more desolate.
She tightened the cloak around Wang Wanqing's body, looked at the beautiful green-haired girl in front of her, and said softly: "Your grandfather has loved you the most since you were a child. Why can't he find a good marriage for you?"
"If you are really having a hard time in the future, just write to me and I will go and stand up for you."
Wang Wanqing looked a little desperate, pushed Bai Yu'an away, and cried: "You still don't want to marry me."
"Brother Yu'an, I hate you!"
After Wang Wanqing finished speaking, she ran alone to the street outside. Seeing this, Bai Yuan hurriedly threw down the umbrella in her hand and chased after her.
Wang Wanqing turned around and looked at Bai Yu'an who was walking over and cried, "Brother Yu'an doesn't have to chase me anymore."
"Wanqing will leave tomorrow. Maybe brother Yu'an will never see me again."
Although the wind and snow were so heavy that Bai Yu'an couldn't hear Wang Wanqing's voice, he still couldn't help but blush.
At such a good age, Wang Wanqing had to be trapped in a deep house when she should have been having fun. She couldn't bear it and had no choice.
Bai Yu'an said sternly: "Come here, brother Yu'an will play chess with you again."
Wang Wanqing cried and shook her head, and the girl's sad voice came: "You lied to me, I will never pay attention to you again!"
After Wang Wanqing finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the street alone.
There were not many pedestrians in the cold winter. When Bai Yu'an and the girl pulled Wang Wanqing, she was already too cold to resist.
When they were brought into the carriage, Wang Wanqing's hand was stuffed with a hand stove, and Bai Yuan sat across from him in silence.
As if she was still angry, Wang Wanqing kept tilting her head, wiping her tears with her sleeves from time to time, but not looking at Bai Yu'an.
The face was red from the cold, and his eyes were filled with tears.
When they were about to arrive at Taifu's Mansion, Bai Yu'an, who had been silent all this time, looked at Wang Wanqing opposite and suddenly whispered: "How about I tell sister Wanqing a secret."
Wang Wanqing was still sobbing after hearing this. Bai Yu'an saw that people still ignored her and looked at the dark sky outside. She didn't know how to speak, so she had to stay silent again.
After a while, when they arrived at Taifu's Mansion, Bai Yu'an helped Wang Wanqing get out of the carriage, but Wang Wanqing suddenly pulled Bai Yu'an's sleeve and asked with tears in her eyes: "What secret do you want to tell me?"
Bai Yu'an sighed silently, and asked the two girls behind her to step back and go in to convey the message. Then she whispered in Wang Wanqing's ear: "Actually... I have the syndrome of not being able to do anything..."
Wang Wanqing looked at Bai Yu'an in shock, unable to speak coherently: "You, you, you..."
"What did you say……!"
Bai Yu'an smiled bitterly and whispered: "It's exactly what sister Wanqing heard."
She leaned close to Wang Wanqing's ear and whispered: "Please sister Wanqing keep this matter a secret for me. After all, it would be detrimental to my face if it spread."
Wang Wanqing had not yet come out of the shock. She looked at Bai Yu'an blankly, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes, and she was speechless for a moment.
After a while, Mrs. Tan hurriedly came out. When she saw Wang Wanqing coming back An Ran, she hugged her and wiped her tears and said: "My little ancestor, go in and see your grandfather!"
As she spoke, Tan quickly called two girls to bring Wang Wanqing inside.
After Wang Wanqing left, Mrs. Tan walked up to Bai Yu'an, shed some tears on her handkerchief, and said with a sad expression: "Is Wanqing acting up? Don't blame her."
Bai Yu'an calmed down and shook her head: "I won't blame her."
Mrs. Tan nodded and said in a low voice: "We will leave tomorrow morning. We know your intentions, so you don't have to come to see her off, lest Wanqing sees you and starts to act up again."
Bai Yu'an was silent and nodded slightly.
After saying a few more words, Bai Yu'an looked at the departing figures in front of him, and then at the plaque on the door.
Things are different and people are different.
