On the second day, Bai Yu'an got up early and looked outside. It didn't snow much.
After breakfast, Bai Yu'an lazily leaned on the edge of the table in the inner room to look out at the snow, thinking about the dish shop.
Outside, A Tao walked in and saw that Bai Yu'an was wearing thin clothes and had a belt on her chest. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, is it still hurting today?"
Naturally it still hurts, but Bai Yu'an just shook his head and said: "If you bear with it a little longer, I'll wait for my mother to send you the prescription. You should feel better after taking the medicine."
Bai Yu'an knew that A Tao would definitely say a few more words, so she went to the small hall outside, holding a hot tea cup with her fingertips and looking at the green bamboo outside.
A Tao followed Bai Yu'an out to the small hall outside. Seeing her sitting on a chair holding a tea cup, she couldn't help but go up and take the tea cup from Bai Yu'an's hand, and then said: "I see that you don't need to drink anymore." That’s the medicine.”
"Young Master is at this age. He will be eighteen when summer comes. What are you doing drinking that medicine? It won't hurt your health."
Bai Yu'an didn't care at all, leaning on the chair a little unruly: "Anyway, this body is already like this, nothing can be changed."
A Tao's face turned ugly: "Young master, are you really leaving no escape route?"
There was a smile in Bai Yuan's eyes, and she looked at A Tao and said, "Why do I think you have been so careful recently? You have been following me since you were a child. Don't you know that I have no way out?"
A Tao couldn't see Bai Yu'an's indifferent look, so she put the tea cup in Bai Yu'an's hand again: "If I were still in my hometown, I wouldn't be like this."
"It's just that I followed the young master to the capital and found out that the capital is full of dangers, and you will be punished and lose your head at every turn. I'm afraid that what will happen to the master if something happens to him?"
Bai Yu'an took a sip of hot tea, swept the lid of the tea in the cup, and said with a faint smile: "If you think about these things after the funeral, it will be too late."
A Tao saw that Bai Yu'an was not getting enough, and he was so angry that he didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he turned around and walked out.
Bai Yu'an hurriedly stopped her: "Where are you going?"
A Tao turned around and glared at Bai Yu'an: "Go and wash the young master's clothes!"
Bai Yu'an followed him out and saw Ah Tao sitting in the yard rubbing the clothes she had changed out of yesterday, then looked up at the light snow falling, walked over and said, "It's such a cold day, why don't you go wash in the house. "
A Tao glared at Bai Yu'an again: "Young Master has never done rough work, so you don't even understand this."
Bai Yu'an lost her temper after being lectured by A Tao, and asked, "What did I say wrong?"
A Tao said: "My slave has to take it to the house to wash, what should I do with the water that splashes out? I have to use water to wash it, and run back and forth. The master is not tired, but this slave is tired."
Bai Yu'an didn't know what to say after being told this.
At this time, Wei Ruyi walked up to Bai Yu'an and said with a smile: "Young master cares about sister A Tao, why does sister A Tao seem to have eaten gunpowder?"
A Tao rolled her eyes at Wei Ruyi again: "I asked you to get up early in the morning and sweep the snow in the yard. It's already now. If the young master slips when you go out later, I won't spare you."
The smile on Wei Ruyi's face dimmed and she glanced at Bai Yu'an aggrievedly.
Bai Yuanke couldn't control A Tao, so she patted Wei Ruyi on the shoulder and hid in the house.
Now Bai Yu'an still had an annoying thing to deal with. She had agreed to invite Shen Jue today. She looked at the sky. If she went to invite Shen Jue at noon, what would she do if it took such a long time in the afternoon?
Bai Yu'an thought about it, thinking that it would be more appropriate to invite her at night. She would go out to find a place to have a meal and then come back. She was not afraid of thinking about where to go after dinner.
Thinking like this, Bai Yuxin felt her head drop, and went to the desk to proofread the booklet Mr. Yang gave her last time.
Bai Yu'an forgot the time during this exchange. It was Wei Ruyi who came in and called twice before Bai Yu'an went out to eat.
A Tao's anger dissipated quickly. In the afternoon, she saw Bai Yu'an going to sit at the table after eating, so she pushed her to take a nap.
It was indeed a bit lazy in the winter, but it was too troublesome to go to the bed. Bai Yuan simply lay on the Taishi chair, holding the stove in his hand, eating the oranges A Tao handed over and said: "I will be on duty in two days. After I put in the value, you take Wei Ruyi out to look at the shops, and if you find anything with a suitable price, buy it."
A Tao peeled an orange in her hand and lowered her head as she said, "Young Master, you have such a strong tone. From the shops in the capital, I buy whatever I want without counting how much money I have."
Bai Yu'an thought for a moment: "Brother Wei gave me some money last time. If it's not enough, I'll sell two paintings to make up for it."
A Tao looked up at Bai Yu'an and snorted: "Now the young master is willing to sell paintings again, but who will come to buy the paintings from the young master now? The young master has offended the Queen Mother and can't even hide."
Bai Yu'an leaned sideways on the chair, supporting his head with one hand and putting the other hand on the armrest. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if no one comes to buy it. You can take my calligraphy and painting to Yilin Zhai the next day. That’s always been a place where elegant people go, and they will definitely be able to appreciate my paintings and maybe sell them for some money.”
A Tao stuffed the peeled orange into Bai Yu'an's hand: "Would you like to seal it, Master?"
The calligraphy and painting are not stamped, and no names are left. No matter how good the painting is, who is willing to pay for the painting of an unknown person.
I just stamped the painting and took it to the art studio to sell it. It was still Tanhualang's calligraphy and painting. I don't know how bad it became after it was spread.
Bai Yu'an knew A Tao's concerns and said, "How can calligraphy and painting not be stamped? It doesn't matter even if others find out."
"I was fined half a year's salary. It's not shameful to sell a few paintings to make ends meet."
A Tao looked at Bai Yu'an, sighed and said nothing, but covered Bai Yu'an with a thin quilt and whispered: "Where do you plan to invite Mr. Shen to dinner tonight?"
Bai Yu'an took a bite of an orange and thought for a moment: "I heard that Dongxinglou's food is good, so let's go there."
A Tao nodded and looked at the remaining oranges in Bai Yu'an's hand: "Young master, after eating the oranges, take a nap. I'll call you again in an hour."
She was indeed a little tired from baking on the stove. Bai Yu'an nodded and watched Ah Tao go out and think about something with half-closed eyes before falling asleep in a daze.
Outside, Wei Ruyi stood outside the curtain and looked inside. Seeing that it was quiet inside, she whispered: "Sir, Master Shen is here."
Bai Yu'an was groggy and didn't react at all. Hearing Wei Ruyi's words, he thought he was dreaming, so he snorted and fell asleep again.
Wei Ruyi stood outside and didn't understand what Bai Yu'an meant. She said again. Seeing no response from inside, she opened the curtain and looked inside.
Bai Yuan was seen in the room with one hand hanging on the handle of the chair, his head tilted to one side, the wide sleeves of his white clothes hanging down on the chair, and his feet still wearing black boots moving from time to time, obviously sleeping well.
Wei Ruyi rarely saw Bai Yu'an sleeping, and A Tao didn't let her take care of her at night. Now she saw Bai Yu'an sleeping, with peaceful and indifferent features, but a red mole on her face.
Wei Ruyi stared blankly, then suddenly remembered that there were guests outside, and was about to turn around to send a message. However, as soon as she turned around, she saw a tall man standing in front of her. When she looked up, it was someone else who was not Shen Shoufu.
