It's so cold in winter. Walking outside in the snow makes my bones feel cold.
But it was warm inside Shen Jue's carriage. Bai Yu'an lowered his head and looked over. It turned out that there was still a charcoal fire inside the carriage.
The last time he rode in Shen Jue's carriage, Bai Yu'an only wanted to stay away from Shen Jue and didn't look at him too much.
Now that Bai Yuan was sitting in the carriage, she felt that Shen Jue's carriage was so luxurious.
The carriage was more than half the size of the carriage she rented. It was spacious and airy inside, with soft cushions placed on the seats and even soft pillows on the cushions.
However, Bai Yu'an couldn't see clearly what was inside. The light from the charcoal fire was weak and couldn't illuminate anything, and the surroundings were still dim.
When I stretched out my hand, I couldn't even see the fingers clearly.
Shen Jue sat close to Bai Yu'an. The man was tall and occupied a lot of space when he sat in the middle. If Bai Yu'an leaned to the side, the fabric of his clothes would inevitably rub against each other.
Shen Jue smelled the faint and cold fragrance next to him, and felt the person next to him move uneasily from time to time, and the corners of his dark lips curled up involuntarily.
Bai Yu'an avoided him like this because what happened at the uncle's house last time probably scared him.
Thinking of the scene at that time, Shen Jue couldn't help but look to the side.
It was just that the night was so dark that he couldn't see him clearly. He could only see a thin, small black shadow huddled next to him.
That group does look small, and I don’t know how a man can look so delicate.
Although Shen Jue dislikes him, he naturally likes her in his heart.
In short, he didn't do anything, and he couldn't get a wife in this life, so committing to him wouldn't be too bullying.
Bai Yu'an naturally didn't expect that Shen Jue next to her had already regarded her as prey, and she was still thinking about how to deal with it when she got off the car later.
There was a lantern hanging at the entrance of the courtyard. If she got off the carriage and ran in all at once, people like Shen Jue would definitely be suspicious.
But if she stood and exchanged greetings, she was afraid of being caught.
In the end, Bai Yu'an decided to finish talking to Shen Jue on the carriage first, and then get off the carriage and go back to the house when they arrived.
Thinking like this, Bai Yu'an picked up the curtain next to him and looked out.
Seeing that they were about to arrive in the courtyard, Bai Yu'an quickly opened the curtain and said to Shen Jue next to him: "Shoufu Shen, Xiaguan will be here soon. Thank you Shenhoufu for your help today. I am very grateful."
Shen Jue listened to Bai Yu'an's polite words indifferently, and only whispered: "I live with Mr. Bai, and I am just helping Mr. Bai along the way."
After saying that, Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an's figure with a deep eyebrow: "In the future, Master Bai, you can come to me if you need anything. You're welcome."
Bai Yu'an responded. When he heard Chang Song's voice outside, he quickly said to Shen Jue: "The official is here, Shen Shoufu, please go slowly."
Bai Yu'an said that he was about to walk out, but as soon as he took a step, his arm was held by Shen Jue.
Bai Yu'an had to turn around and ask, "What else does Shen Shouxu have to do?"
Shen Jue smiled: "Don't forget about tomorrow."
Linmen pulled her just to talk about this? Is it possible that he, the chief minister, has no one to entertain him?
Bai Yuxin felt a little worried about Qianzi, but she would not regret what she promised, so she agreed: "I will definitely not forget it tomorrow."
Seeing that Shen Jue finally let go of her, Bai Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Shen Jue before going out.
Shen Jue lifted up the curtain of the carriage window with one finger, and looked at Bai Yuan's back as he walked quickly into the yard with his dark eyes.
The figure was very fast, as if he would catch him if he took one step too late.
Shen Jue's face darkened, and he knocked on the wall of the carriage before the carriage moved forward again.
Bai Yu'an, who had just returned to the house, had not yet sat down on the chair to take a sip of tea. Wei Ruyi came over excitedly with a bandage: "Sir, take a look, does this pattern look good?"
"I thought about it, so I embroidered it on the cuffs of my boots. It will be safe and sound."
Bai Yu'an looked at the stretch cloth and saw the very small and exquisite Ruyi cloud patterns embroidered on it, and couldn't help but admired: "It looks good."
Wei Ruyi immediately beamed after receiving the compliment and was about to speak, but A Tao suddenly stood in front of her and pushed Wei Ruyi out: "Young Master just came back and you need hot water, please heat it up quickly."
Wei Ruyi was pushed out by A Tao. She didn't have a chance to say a word to Bai Yu'an, so she had to boil hot water.
After persuading Wei Ruyi to leave, A Tao turned around and saw Bai Yu'an going to get the belt. She couldn't help but walked over quickly and said, "Young master is in pain, what are you doing with the belt now?"
"I'll go to bed when the hot water comes. Young Master has to worry about Wei Ruyi. I'll just keep her from coming in."
After hearing A Tao's words, Bai Yu'an felt that there was really no need to pester her at the moment, so she nodded and asked A Tao to undress for her.
She looked at A Tao's movements and said: "I still want to open a shop for Ruyi, so that I don't have to rely on others and can support myself with my own craftsmanship."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an looked at A Tao and smiled: "If you want to eat cakes again in the future, maybe you don't have to give me any money."
A Tao smiled: "Young master is very generous. I spent a lot of money to buy her this trouble. Now I want to open a shop for others, but I haven't seen anyone open a shop for me."
Bai Yu'an knew that Chuntao was joking, so she still held her hand and said, "When I become a senior official and my monthly salary is higher, I can open five shops for you."
A Tao glanced at Bai Yu'an and couldn't help but smile: "I don't want you to be a high official anymore. I just want you to stop offending others and being punished. I can just ask Buddha."
Bai Yu'an laughed: "You take care of my money. If something happens to me in the future, you can just run away with the money, and I won't blame you."
Upon hearing this, A Tao pouted several times, and finally glared at Bai Yu'an and said angrily: "Master, please don't say such things to your slave again in the future, otherwise I will run away with the money now."
Bai Yu'an joked: "I don't have any salary now. Wouldn't it be a loss if you run now? It's better to wait for another half year."
A Tao hit Bai Yu'an's shoulder with the bundle of cloth in his hand, and his eyes turned red: "Although I know that the young master is joking, I don't want to hear such a joke."
Seeing that he had offended someone, Bai Yu'an didn't dare to joke anymore, so he had to say nice things.
A Tao glared at Bai Yu'an again: "Young master, take a rest first, and this servant will go get the hot water first."
Bai Yu'an said the wrong thing, and she didn't dare to offend A Tao now, so she nodded repeatedly and let her go.
In the attic of Shen's house, Shen Jue watched as the light in Bai Yu'an's room in the yard dimmed after a while. He saw that Wei Ruyi tried to go in several times, but A Tao pushed him out.
Shen Jue frowned thoughtfully, wondering what Bai Yu'an was doing inside.
Turning the jade-white porcelain cup in his hand, Changsong's voice came from beside him: "Sir, Chen Shangshu from the Ministry of Revenue has sent another greeting card."
Shen Jue's expression remained unchanged, she lowered her eyebrows and turned back to the room behind her.
