Gao Han was wearing a light green brocade robe, with dark clouds on the cuffs falling on his knees. His expression was gentle and peaceful, but the probing look in his eyes was staring deeply into Bai Yuan's eyes.
Bai Yu'an looked at Gao Han's probing eyes and didn't want him to misunderstand the relationship between the two, so he told Gao Han what happened in the prison.
After hearing this, Gao Han frowned and looked at Bai Yu'an: "Why does he want you to live next door?"
Bai Yu'an held her head up, her long hair falling from her neck to her chest. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. It's just that I was eager to save the teacher at the time and didn't think too much about it."
Bai Yu'an said tiredly: "I told the teacher about this last time, but the teacher couldn't figure out the reason."
Gao Han asked seriously: "How long will you stay here?"
"Shen Jue is a difficult person to get along with. You'd better stay away from him."
Bai Yu'an didn't tell Gao Han completely about his last conversation with Shen Jue, mainly because he didn't have the energy to talk about the causes and consequences.
He just said vaguely: "I shouldn't be able to live here for long."
Gao Han nodded with some relief and looked at her again: "When you move out from here, I will find a yard for you in the capital."
As he spoke, Gao Han's eyes fell on Bai Yu'an's wrist that was about to raise to refuse: "If I weren't afraid that you would shirk, I would have given you a yard."
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I have offended many people. If I am demoted one day, wouldn't it be a waste for Brother Gao to give me this gift?"
Gao Han smiled, his eyes fell on Bai Yu'an, and his voice was gentle: "Even if you are demoted, the yard is still yours."
"I'm waiting for the day you come back."
Bai Yu'an was a little moved and said gratefully: "Brother Gao, I accept it with peace of mind. It's just that the things are valuable. Brother Gao, please don't embarrass me."
Gao Han looked deeply at Bai Yu'an, he still didn't want to accept anything from him.
He wanted to give him a yard at the beginning, but after several attempts failed, he had no choice but to give it to him.
Gao Han smiled bitterly in his heart. Knowing Bai Yuan's temperament, Gao Han did not try to persuade him anymore, but changed his words and said, "Do you know the day when the teacher returns to his hometown?"
Bai Yu'an was silent for a moment and nodded: "Master's wife said she was afraid that sister Wanqing would not let me go, so she didn't let me go."
Gao Han nodded: "I heard about Wanqing coming to see you that day, so I didn't call you."
Bai Yu'an asked: "Which family has sister Wanqing's marriage been arranged to?"
Gao Han said: "He is the grandson of the current Governor of Hengjiang. I heard he is quite good-looking. He is also studying at home and is waiting for Qiu Wei."
Bai Yu'an remembered what Wanqing said in tears before she left. She said she would never see brother Yu'an again, and her heart ached.
She has always cherished Wanqing as her own sister. Looking at her innocent appearance, it was as if she saw a different version of herself in her.
I don't know why, but my eyes are a little warm.
Bai Yu'an felt like there was a lump in his throat and was speechless for a moment.
Gao Han didn't notice anything wrong with Bai Yu'an, but just warned again: "This time the matter with Princess Jianing is over, no one will introduce you to the marriage again."
"You should be more careful in the future. If you make a wrong step in the officialdom, don't offend anyone again."
Gao Han was always cautious, so Bai Yuan nodded, but what he was thinking about was the settlement at the end of the year.
She looked at Gao Han and said, "The cabinet and the thirteen provinces should have settled their accounts by the end of the year."
Gao Han glanced at Bai Yu'an: "New Year's Eve will be in a few days, and the settlement should be completed."
Bai Yu'an said oh, thinking that the court had not seen much movement these days, and Shen Jue probably didn't want to care about it anymore.
Shen Jue is a very thoughtful person and I don't think he will take action against Wei Shangshu easily.
Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Are you going back on New Year's Eve this year?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head: "It's too far away. There's not enough time to go back and forth. I can only wait for the opportunity to go back and take a look."
Gao Han said: "That's right. After the third day of the Lunar New Year, I will invite you to go out for a walk together."
Bai Yu'an was always afraid of the cold, so it was best to read in the house on a snowy day. However, Gao Han invited her and she nodded, so it was hard to refute Gao Han's kindness.
Gao Han sat for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, Bai Yu'an left Gao Han to eat together.
Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an, who was still unable to sit down, and couldn't help but said, "I'll stay here. It's very inconvenient for you to be like this."
"You'd better have a good rest."
After speaking, Gao Han asked again: "Are you going to go on duty tomorrow?"
Bai Yu'an nodded: "The Queen Mother only asked me to come back for one day's rest. It just so happens that today is my holiday, and I will be on duty tomorrow."
Gao Han nodded and said, "I'm free these days. I'll come over tomorrow and wait for you to leave the palace together."
Bai Yu'an knew that Gao Han was worried that she would have difficulty walking, so she nodded gratefully.
Moreover, Bai Yu'an was also afraid that he would meet the disciple again tomorrow and follow Gao Han, so that he would not encounter what happened yesterday again.
After Gao Han left, Bai Yu'an's hand that was supporting her body suddenly softened, and she lay softly on the pillow, unable to lift her spirits at all.
A Tao came over and stood next to Bai Yu'an and whispered: "How about you take a nap first, and then you can use something when you wake up."
Bai Yu'an didn't sleep much last night. He talked to Gao Han for so long in the morning, so he was tired now.
Closing her eyes and sighing, A Tao knew that Bai Yu'an was very sleepy.
Without making any more noise, he lowered the bed curtain and was about to leave when he heard a soft cry from Bai Yu'an inside.
A Tao quickly opened the bed curtain and saw Bai Yuan kneeling on the bed with a white face.
Her long hair fell all around her waist, her black hair framed her small face softly, and her eyes were like almonds. Apart from her flat chest, she lost even half of her masculine appearance.
She hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the young master?"
Bai Yu'an was just angry about why he didn't tell Gao Han about Wei Ruyi just now.
Gao Han's family background is from the Earl's Palace. Such a family values their reputation the most and will not abuse their girls.
Wei Ruyi might be more suitable to follow Gao Han than Wen Changqing.
But now that Gao Han has left, Bai Yu'an looked at A Tao, who looked worried, and lay down again, saying that he had pulled the wound himself.
While A Tao buried her grievances, she covered Bai Yu'an with the brocade quilt, lowered the bed curtain again, and then retreated.
Bai Yu'an slept until midnight. A Tao looked at the sky, thinking that if she didn't come over to call her, she might wake up late at night.
Bai Yu'an was dreaming. In the dream, he was walking in a deep alley. He clearly saw the light in front of him, but he didn't arrive after walking for a long time.
The surroundings were pitch dark and there was no sound, so Bai Yu'an reached out and touched it, but felt a warm palm next to it.
Thinking that the hand was going to cover her eyes again, Bai Yu'an opened her eyes in fright, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that she was holding A Tao's hand tightly.
A Tao looked at Bai Yu'an's pale face and sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What did you dream about, Master?"
Bai Yu'an gasped, then pressed on his beating chest and said, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
Seeing that Bai Yu'an didn't want to say anything, A Tao didn't ask any more questions. He brought some tea to Bai Yu'an and fed him two sips before saying, "Young master, are you hungry?"
Bai Yu'an had no appetite and was feeling groggy. He shook his head and said, "Some of it can't be eaten."
A Tao asked Wei Ruyi next to him to bring in the plum blossom cake that Mother Chen had bought in the afternoon, and then said to Bai Yu'an: "I thought that the young master would wake up later and wouldn't be able to eat, so I asked Mother Chen to buy some sweets." Come back."
Speaking of plum blossom cakes, Bai Yu'an felt that she hadn't eaten these sweets in years, and she was really greedy for a moment.
