When Shen Jue said this, something sounded wrong to Bai Yu'an. Didn't it mean that he didn't have an umbrella?
Wouldn't it be awkward to hold an umbrella by yourself?
She politely handed the umbrella to Shen Jue and said, "Why don't you, Chief Assistant Shen, hold it? I rarely hold an umbrella if I am a junior official."
Shen Jue looked at the obviously reluctant expression on Bai Yu'an's face, pursed her lips and did not take the umbrella, but said: "Let's go."
Bai Yu'an meant his words politely, but he also knew that Shen Jue would definitely not pick him up.
Hearing what he said, he stopped talking.
When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Xiaoguan lives in this courtyard. Counting the rent paid by Xiaguan, how much money does Shen Shoufu need?"
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an funny: "You can't afford to rent this yard."
He glanced at Bai Yu'an's increasingly ugly face, and said in a low voice, "This is just a transaction, you don't have to give me money."
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Shen Jue. The two looked at each other, and Bai Yu'an only saw invisible emotions in Shen Jue's eyes.
She really didn't understand what Shen Jue meant.
He allowed herself to live here, no matter how she could not think of the reason.
She was silent for a long time, and then whispered: "Thank you Shen Shoufu for your hospitality today. I am grateful to you."
Bai Yu'an under the umbrella looked deserted in the flying snow, with snow-colored eyes, but she never looked at him.
Shen Jue looked at him and said in a low voice: "Then how will Mr. Bai be grateful?"
Bai Yu'an was a little surprised. It was impossible for Shen Jue not to understand her kind words.
But the words had already left his mouth, so he had no choice but to continue: "When Shen Shoufu is free, I will come back to invite you."
Shen Jue lowered his head and took a deep look at Bai Yu'an: "Then I will wait for Mr. Bai's reply."
"But if you pour the wine into your sleeves, Master Bai will no longer be sincere."
Bai Yu'an's expression changed, and she looked at Shen Jue. It turned out that he had seen everything, but he didn't expose her on the spot.
When she was thinking about how to respond, she saw that Shen Jue had turned around.
He left without saying a word.
Bai Yu'an stood at the door and looked at Shen Jue's back. The wind and snow were silent, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't see what kind of person he was.
Back in the house, Bai Yu'an quickly sat down by the brazier and stretched out his hand to roast it. A Tao smelled the smell of alcohol on Bai Yu'an's body.
A Tao frowned and said angrily: "Young master drank again."
Bai Yu'an's hands were warmed, and his stiff body recovered a little. He took another sip of hot tea and relaxed his body.
She whispered: "It's just the wine on my clothes."
A Tao was a little disgusted with the smell of alcohol on Bai Yu'an's body, so he said disgustedly: "I will pour you some hot water, sir, so you can wash yourself up."
Bai Yu'an felt cold and nodded after listening to A Tao's words.
Wei Ruyi brought a pair of shoes over at this time: "Sir, try the boots I made."
Bai Yu'an took the boots in his hand and looked at them. There was also down sewed in the boots. He put his hand in and felt warm.
The stitching of the shoes was delicate. Bai Yu'an took a look at it, compared it with his feet, and smiled at Wei Ruyi: "It's suitable."
Wei Ruyi felt a little aggrieved: "Don't you guys give it a try?"
Bai Yu'an's boots were meant to be worn outdoors, so naturally these boots were not suitable, but her boots were not suitable either.
Bai Yu Anzheng didn't know how to explain it, but fortunately A Tao came in and rescued her, so the boots matter was put aside for the time being.
After returning from bathing in the bathroom, Bai Yu'an leaned sideways on the couch and read a book. A Tao sat on the edge of the bed and wiped Bai Yu'an's hair.
A Tao took Bai Yu'an's long hair in his hand, wiped it gently with a handkerchief, and said at the same time: "How did the young master persuade Miss Wang today?"
Bai Yu'an snorted lazily and whispered: "I said I have the syndrome of not doing anything."
A Tao's face turned red and she looked at Bai Yu'an blankly: "Then if Miss Wang spreads the news about the young master's refusal, wouldn't it be true that the young master will not be able to hold his head up in the future?"
Bai Yu'an didn't care about this matter. It was no different from not doing it.
Just when they were about to speak, there was a sudden sound in the room. The two of them looked behind them at the same time, only to see Wei Ruyi standing at the curtain with a shocked look on his face.
On the ground was a broken porcelain bowl and a pool of concoction.
Ah Tao immediately frowned and said, "How can I drop a medicine even if I'm holding it?"
Wei Ruyi did not look at A Tao, but looked at Bai Yu'an in shock: "Sir... take it seriously..."
"Did I hear you wrong just now?"
Bai Yuan then realized that Wei Ruyi had probably heard the conversation between her and A Tao just now.
She thought that since Wei Ruyi had heard it, he would simply use the trick to cut off her thoughts early, and said seriously: "You heard it right just now."
Wei Ruyi burst into tears and came over to Bai Yu'an's bedside: "How could you have such a disease at such a young age?"
Bai Yu'an was surprised that Wei Ruyi cried so hard. She casually advised: "I don't take it to heart, and you don't need to cry anymore."
Wei Ruyi cried even harder and choked with sobs: "But this disease, sir..."
"What should I do if I have no heirs?"
A Tao couldn't bear to see Wei Ruyi crying whenever something happened. She frowned and said, "These things are not yours to worry about."
"You dropped the medicine, why don't you hurry up and clean it up?"
Wei Ruyi was very sad. She looked at Bai Yu'an and cried: "If the master's illness never gets better, I will serve the master for the rest of my life."
Bai Yu'an didn't expect this to be counterproductive, so he quickly stood up and comforted: "We'll talk about this later, don't cry."
Only then did Wei Ruyi stop crying and wiped her tears and said, "Then I will go and pour the young master a bowl of medicine."
Bai Yu'an nodded and watched Wei Ruyi go out before she fell tiredly on the bed.
A Tao wiped Bai Yu'an's hair again and whispered: "Master, what are you going to do now?"
Bai Yu'an didn't think about it and said helplessly: "Let her misunderstand it first. In short, there is a reason to stop her thinking."
After a while, Wei Ruyi came over with the medicine again. Bai Yu'an saw that her eyes were red and sighed. After drinking the medicine, he said to her, "You don't have to worry too much about me."
"I will try to find a way out for you when spring comes. If you have any ideas then, you can tell me."
"If I can help you, I will try my best to help you."
Wei Ruyi shed tears and said: "Why do you have to drive this slave away, sir?"
Bai Yu'an was just mentally preparing Wei Ruyi now, otherwise it would be more difficult to accept it. She whispered: "We will talk about these words later. You can go to bed first."
A Tao also said in a rare good tone next to him: "Young master, I am doing this for your own good. You have lived in your prime years and following him, you are a little aggrieved after all."
After a while of persuasion, Wei Ruyi finally got Wei Ruyi to retreat.
Bai Yu'an was also very tired. She closed her eyes when she was tired and said to A Tao: "I won't have a bath tomorrow. You should sleep more."
A Tao hummed, covered Bai Yu'an with the quilt, and then left.
